Chapter 3180 — A Warm Phone Call
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Go die!" The eldest miss's face flushed slightly. Though she and Wei Zhao had made their feelings known, it had only been a confession after all, and the two of them had not been together since. In their former life together there had been the occasional ambiguity, but their relationship had never been confirmed, so at this moment the eldest miss was still quite shy, and somewhat unused to Wei Zhao's teasing. "I was only saying it casually. I'm an expert at the peak of the late Yellow rank now—about the same as you were when you first came to Songshan City!"
"Oh? That fast?" Wei Zhao was rather surprised.
"Not bad, I suppose!" the eldest miss said smugly. "By the way, where's little Shu? Why didn't you two answer the phone just now?"
"Oh, we were doing a few things in the villa's courtyard just now, so we weren't inside," Wei Zhao said vaguely.
"You? And little Shu? In the villa courtyard in the middle of the night?" Gu Mengyao's tone turned odd. "Wei Zhao, you didn't go off with little Shu for a bit of outdoor action, did you?"
"Uh..." Wei Zhao was momentarily stunned, then caught between laughter and tears! Still, he could hardly blame Gu Mengyao for being suspicious; his tone just now had indeed been a little mysterious and suspect. So Wei Zhao asked with a laugh, "Yaoyao, are you jealous?"
"Jealous of what? If I were the jealous type, I'd have died of it long ago. What about Xiaoxiao, Xinyan, and Jingjing?" Gu Mengyao said crossly. "Besides, even if it were little Shu, it wouldn't be a big deal. She's always going on about being some kind of concubine anyway—I'm used to it..."
"Sweat—it really was just two guests arriving, and we went out to take a look," Wei Zhao said with a wry smile. "As for me and little Shu, if anything were going to happen, it would have happened long ago. There was no need to wait for you to leave. And you know what little Shu is like—if she wanted to do something, she wouldn't bother hiding it from you at all!"
"That's true enough." Gu Mengyao nodded, thinking she had probably read too much into it. "As long as everything's fine on your end. I'm going to call my daddy, then give little Shu a call. If you need me for anything, just text me—I have to turn my phone off while I cultivate. When I finish, I'll see your message and get in touch!"
"All right. Yaoyao, take care!" Wei Zhao urged.
"I will. I'm doing fine here, so don't worry!" Gu Mengyao said with a smile.
After hanging up on the eldest miss, Wei Zhao felt slightly relieved. It seemed Gu Mengyao was doing well in the Palace of the Dark Night. He could not help but admire the eldest miss—her presence was formidable indeed, enough to hold her ground.
Gu Mengyao's second call was to Gu Pengzhan.
"Yaoyao?" Gu Pengzhan was a businessman, and naturally his cell phone never left him, day or night. Receiving a call from Gu Mengyao, he was both startled and delighted! Since Gu Mengyao's departure there had been no word from her. Though Gu Pengzhan worried, there was nothing he could do. After all, he understood the Palace of the Dark Night better than anyone: if they could contact you, they would; if they could not, there was no use trying.
For so many years, Ye Rou'er had left not a single word. Gu Mengyao had only just gone—could he really hope for news of her? So Gu Pengzhan had already steeled himself for not seeing his daughter for ten years.
Only, he had never expected that after merely half a month, his daughter would call! RS
