護花近衛 - 第103章 炸蘑菇和地溝油 - 墨香閣

...

Watching Wei Zhao walk out of the fitting room, Gu Mengyao felt her eyes light up...

Though she had long since revised her impression of him, Wei Zhao in a school uniform was already far more handsome than he had been in his old migrant-worker getup, but in a set of casual clothes he looked even more strikingly dashing.

Hmph, so this guy really was pretty handsome after all. No wonder he had such luck with women; even Qiu Lingshan went out of her way to hang around him. He was a real magnet for trouble. If she had known, she would never have told him to buy these clothes.

Gu Mengyao found herself torn.

"Wow, Sister Yaoyao, look how handsome Brother Jianpai is! He's more than up to being your Brother Jianpai this time, I guarantee it—he'll sweep the board!"

It just went to show that clothes really did make the man.

"How is it?" Wei Zhao had casually picked out two sets of casual wear. As for a suit—forget it. He felt that wearing a suit and trailing behind the two young ladies would make him look out of place, like some hired thug.

"Really ugly." Gu Mengyao yawned and glanced at him through sleepy eyes.

"Heh-heh..." Wei Zhao smiled and looked at Shen Yushu. "What do you think?"

"Me?" Shen Yushu looked awkwardly at Gu Mengyao and suddenly felt a little guilty. "They're... passable, I guess."

"Let's go with these, then." Wei Zhao took out the card Uncle Qing had given him and prepared to go swipe it.

"Let me. It was agreed that I was buying them for you." Gu Mengyao stood up from her chair before he could, and went to the counter to ring it up.

Wei Zhao shrugged. Since Gu Mengyao insisted, there was no need for him to argue over it. This wasn't exactly the moment to show off gentlemanly manners. The money in his card had been given to him by Gu Pengzhan, and the money in Gu Mengyao's card had also been given to him by Gu Pengzhan.

In essence, the two were the same. Whose card was swiped made no difference at all.

"We're done buying. Is there anything else you need?" Gu Mengyao asked Wei Zhao after swiping her card.

"I still want to buy a laptop," Wei Zhao said after thinking for a moment.

"Oh, a computer. Little Shu, isn't that computer at your house no longer being used? Why don't you let Wei Zhao bring it over and use it?" Gu Mengyao was a little tired. The mall didn't sell computers; to buy one, you had to go to the nearby tech building, and that was still a long walk.

"Okay." Shen Yushu didn't care either. Computers were the sort of thing that became obsolete quickly. For now, she was temporarily staying at Gu Mengyao's house, and there was a computer in her bedroom she could use. By the time she moved back home, it would be time to get a new one anyway. So she might as well put it to good use while it would otherwise be wasted, and let Wei Zhao have it.

Since both Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had said so, Wei Zhao naturally had no objections. The three of them walked out of the mall together, and Wei Zhao glanced at the long line of cars waiting at the entrance to the underground parking garage. He thought Gu Mengyao was actually pretty decent. Earlier, she might not have been afraid of getting a parking ticket, but with her status, a single advance phone call to Uncle Qing would have made the mall free up a spot for her no matter how tight parking was—even if the mall's own boss had to go without one.

When they reached the public parking lot where they had parked earlier, Gu Mengyao took one look and handed the car key back to Wei Zhao. "You go get the car."

Wei Zhao took the key with a wry smile. The cars in front and behind—neither one had moved. In such a tiny space, Gu Mengyao naturally couldn't have gotten the car out.

But to Wei Zhao, it was no problem at all. Key in hand, he got into the car, shifted forward and back a few times, and the car nimbly slid out. Wei Zhao got out, then deliberately sat in the back seat.

Gu Mengyao was exasperated. "Are you still expecting me to be your driver?"
