Chapter 2740 — Another Problem Arises
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Yes, Zhaoming, the Kang family is counting on you!" Kang Jinglong recalled that the Hidden Right Family had also been brought into contact through Kang Jingming, and it struck him that his younger brother was not without learning after all—at the very least, in crooked paths and devious schemes, he far surpassed himself.
Wang Xinyan's condition that day left Wei Zhao somewhat puzzled. She still yawned constantly, yet she did not fall asleep. She drank the same potion every day, so why had she not sunk into drowsiness today?
At noon, Wang Xinyan received a call from her mother, Xiao Qinlin.
Wang Xinyan had wanted to call her mother first thing in the morning to let her know she was safe, but since Wei Zhao had carried her off yesterday right in front of her mother, she felt too embarrassed, and did not know how to broach it.
Now that her mother had called, Wang Xinyan had no choice but to steel herself and answer.
"Mom..." Wang Xinyan said cautiously.
"Xinyan, are you all right?" Xiao Qinlin's own feelings were tangled; she did not know what to say either.
"I'm... doing fine, Mom. I'm sorry..." Wang Xinyan did not know why she was apologizing, or what exactly she was apologizing for. She did not know herself...
"Xinyan, don't fret over it too much. Your own path is yours to choose. Your father and I talked it over last night—if worst comes to worst, we'll shut down the company, then the two of us will find someplace to go into hiding. The Xuandan Sect may not be able to find us..." Xiao Qinlin did not say it outright, but Wang Xinyan understood her mother's meaning.
In an instant, tears welled up in Wang Xinyan's eyes. Was it sorrow, helplessness, or joy? At that moment her heart was a tangle of a hundred feelings. Her mother finally understood her—but how could Wang Xinyan bear to let them live a life of fleeing and hiding?
The company was the fruit of her father's years of toil. How could it simply be shut down? Wang Xinyan did not want her parents to swallow their pride and suffer such indignity on her account.
"Mom... there's no need. I'll have a talk with Kang Jinglong and make him stop harassing you. And when I graduate, I'll marry him..." Wang Xinyan drew a deep breath. She had not changed her decision. After graduation, Wei Zhao would either surpass the Xuandan Sect, or she would quietly leave on her own... or perhaps by then, she would go into hiding together with her parents...
In any case, she could not let her parents go into hiding right now over her troubles—that was not what Wang Xinyan wanted to see.
"All right. Think it over, and call me once you've made your decision. Your mother will support you," Xiao Qinlin said.
"Mm... thank you, Mom..." At last, Wang Xinyan felt her heart ease.
That afternoon, Wei Zhao could tell that Wang Xinyan's mood seemed inexplicably much improved. And that evening, after Wei Zhao gave Wang Xinyan her potion, she walked into his bedroom of her own accord—evidently intending to keep helping Wei Zhao with his cultivation.
That night, Wang Xinyan slept soundly. But the next morning, a strange phenomenon left Wei Zhao astonished—and at the same time, he began to suspect something...
Even after Wei Zhao made breakfast, Wang Xinyan still had not woken, and she remained deep in sleep. This left Wei Zhao sunk in thought and vexation.
