Chapter 513 — Don't Peek

Feng Xiaoxiao glanced at the lunchbox in her hand and was pleasantly surprised. "A high-end hotel really is different—even the lunchbox is sealed. Not a single drop spilled! Otherwise I'd have lost out! A sealed box like this must cost a few yuan!"

"Ha..." Wei Zhao was amused by her behavior once again. She had nearly fallen to her death, and yet her only concern was whether the lunchbox had spilled.

"Have you never eaten such good things before?" Wei Zhao had always assumed Feng Xiaoxiao's family was well-off. Feng Tianlong's salary ought to be considerable, too. After all, a single mission of Wei Zhao's paid over a hundred million, so Feng Tianlong probably made a good amount, right?

"Never!" Feng Xiaoxiao said with a trace of lingering relish. "I've never tasted anything this good in my life! At school, when I'm not eating instant noodles, I eat in the cafeteria—haven't you noticed?"

"I did notice. But I thought you were deliberately trying to get close to me." Wei Zhao had indeed thought so before.

"That Audi TT of mine—I saved up years of spending money for it! I only get ten thousand yuan a month for living expenses!" Feng Xiaoxiao pouted.

Ten thousand yuan was a lot for ordinary people, but compared with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, it was far less.

"Wu Chengtian is a fool, but Kang Zhaolong isn't, and neither are the rest of the Wu family. I expect you'll only get to eat like this once. If he doesn't come looking for trouble after this, that's already more than you can hope for." Wei Zhao warned her out of regard for her being Feng Tianlong's daughter.

"Are you worried about me?" Feng Xiaoxiao was taken aback. Could Wei Zhao be starting to like her?

Wei Zhao said nothing and went upstairs by himself. The hotel's first floor was the lobby; the elevator could only be reached from the second floor.

"Hey, wait for me!" Feng Xiaoxiao limped after him. "Ouch, my butt!"

Feng Xiaoxiao's room was on the third floor, a budget room. The lower the floor, the cheaper the rate. She took out her key card and opened the door, still a little annoyed. "Why are you walking so fast? Without me, could you even have gotten in?"

Wei Zhao ignored her. This time he had come to see Feng Tianlong; some things had to be made clear.

"Just sit down for a minute. I'm going to take a shower!" Feng Xiaoxiao was all wet. It wasn't dirty water, but it was still water from the ground, and as a girl, she simply couldn't stand it.

"Shower?" Wei Zhao froze, staring at her in disbelief. Was she really that bold? She actually wanted to take a shower? Was she trying to seduce him?

Seeing the astonished look on Wei Zhao's face, Feng Xiaoxiao immediately guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help blushing. "What nonsense are you thinking! I got all dirty, and it feels terrible!"

"I wasn't thinking anything." Wei Zhao found it rather amusing—he really had been overthinking—but he wouldn't admit it.

"Hey, absolutely no peeking!" Feng Xiaoxiao shot Wei Zhao a glare, then turned and went into the bathroom.

Wei Zhao naturally wouldn't peek. Pretty as Feng Xiaoxiao was, her rebellious personality was something he couldn't accept. That girl was too wild—even better at messing with people than Shen Yushu, and more ruthless and vicious to boot.

Still, that last remark of hers was enough to set a person's imagination running. After all, Wei Zhao had heard the story of the man who was "worse than a beast."

Wei Zhao sat down casually on the sofa in the room and called Tang Yun. On the other end, he still got the message that her phone was powered off. It seemed Tang Yun hadn't switched it on.

Wei Zhao sighed. He had no idea why Tang Yun was angry. Hadn't he only stood her up once? But there had indeed been things to do today. Early in the morning, Xiaofen got into trouble, and right after that, he had flown to Yanjing. There wasn't even a moment to catch his breath, let alone a chance to see Tang Yun.

Listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom, Wei Zhao felt an itch in his heart for the first time. He couldn't help finding it funny—was he really interested in Feng Xiaoxiao taking a shower?

Still, he had to admit that Feng Xiaoxiao was indeed very pretty. If not for her quirky personality, she might have had countless admirers. And that thought of his was nothing more than a normal physical reaction.

He shook his head and cast the unrealistic thought aside.

Inside the bathroom, Feng Xiaoxiao was also a little nervous. A moment ago, wanting to wash off the dirt and discomfort had been a perfectly normal reaction, but once she was inside, things felt rather awkward.

The thought that Wei Zhao was still outside made her even more nervous. He wouldn't barge in, would he?

Given Wei Zhao's skills, the lock on the bathroom door really couldn't keep him out.

Moreover, Feng Xiaoxiao's heart was torn. On one hand, she feared Wei Zhao would barge in; on the other, her competitive spirit rose. She was, after all, a great beauty—how could Wei Zhao remain so indifferent to her?

If he didn't have the slightest interest in her, how could she pursue him? How could she take her revenge on him?

At that thought, Feng Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. If you can't bear to sacrifice the child, you can't catch the wolf; if you can't bear to sacrifice your body, you can't catch the lecher! So she simply closed the bathroom door without locking it.

If Wei Zhao did barge in, she would give him a little reward—let his eyes feast, let him see a few parts worth seeing. As long as she didn't actually let him take advantage, it would be fine!

Mm-hm, she had read in books that this kind of hazy, half-hidden view was even more stirring to a man's heart.

With her mind at ease, Feng Xiaoxiao began to shower in peace. She had to say, after eating and drinking her fill, a hot shower was a real pleasure!

Feng Xiaoxiao lathered body wash over herself and hummed a little tune: "Lu-la-la, lu-la-la, I love to bathe, the turtle slips and falls..."

Feng Xiaoxiao was feeling quite pleased with herself when, suddenly, a chill spread through her body. At first she didn't pay it much attention, thinking it was just because of the cold weather and the fact that she was showering naked. But then she realized that wasn't it at all...

She felt terrible! Feng Xiaoxiao grew dizzy and almost lost her balance. She quickly turned off the hot shower and let the steam clear so she could catch her breath, but the cold, suffocating feeling only grew stronger!

"Huff... so awful..." Feng Xiaoxiao groaned, and suddenly remembered the taboo her body carried: she must not eat too much seafood! Too much seafood could trigger the illness inside her, and in a severe case, it could cost her life!

Only now did Feng Xiaoxiao feel regret. At the time, she had been so busy being excited over the delicious food that she had never given a thought to the fatal flaw in her body. She had never eaten this much seafood before. Even when she did eat it, it was only a little—never a whole tableful like today.
