Chapter 115 — No Philandering [Seventh Update, Begging for Monthly Tickets]
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Old Jiao, about the jade pendant's warning earlier, you..." Wei Zhao did not know whether the pendant's warning had anything to do with Old Jiao. Back in the pendant space, he had forgotten to ask about it.
"A warning?" Jiao Yazi was clearly taken aback. "What warning? I didn't feel anything?"
"You didn't feel it?" Wei Zhao was surprised in turn. "Just now, in the instant before the chandelier fell, I felt the pendant send me a kind of danger signal, the same signal that warns me every time I am about to run into danger..."
"To tell the truth, I felt nothing." Jiao Yazi thought it over; nothing unusual had happened before...
"Then... is this an ability of the pendant itself?" Wei Zhao knew Old Jiao could not be lying; if he said he felt nothing, then he truly felt nothing.
"Possibly. As I told you, this pendant was left behind by the Grand-Uncle Master. I don't know what other powers it has. You will have to discover them yourself, or open the stone door in the cave, and there may be new discoveries beyond..." Jiao Yazi explained.
"All right," Wei Zhao said helplessly. It seemed Old Jiao did not know the wonders of this pendant either; the cultivation space was perhaps only one of its functions.
The car stopped at the entrance of the villa and drove off after dropping Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, and Shen Yushu. Clearly Gu Pengzhan still had to go back to deal with the chandelier incident.
"Wei Zhao." Gu Mengyao suddenly turned toward him and looked at him.
"Hmm?" Wei Zhao looked at the young miss in confusion.
"While you are on the job, you are not allowed to go philandering outside." Gu Mengyao mustered her courage. She had been turning this over in her mind the whole ride, and once out of the car, she laid it out to Wei Zhao in one breath.
"Huh? I haven't, have I?" Wei Zhao froze. Was the young miss unhappy that he had been hitting on girls during work hours?
"If you have, change it; if not, take it as a warning." Gu Mengyao snorted. Naturally she could hardly mention Qiu Lingshan and that tall girl outright.
"Oh... all right." Wei Zhao nodded. "Then when I'm off duty, that's allowed, right?"
"My daddy hired you at a high price to be my shield twenty-four hours a day and to take my orders. You never have time off." With that, Gu Mengyao turned and walked off, pulling Shen Yushu with her.
"Uh... damn it." Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile. "Even the slave owners of the old society didn't play it like this, did they? Am I some indentured laborer? This chick..."
"Sister Yaoyao, just now... you looked so cool when you blew up." Shen Yushu looked at Gu Mengyao, a little excited.
"If I don't teach him a lesson, he won't know up from down. Just because Daddy thinks highly of him doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants and mess around with women. How will we fool Zhong Yongliang then?" Gu Mengyao herself did not quite know what she was trying to explain.
"But Sister Yaoyao, Zhong Yongliang still doesn't seem to know that Brother Shield is your boyfriend. At school you don't even talk to Brother Shield, and you even had Zhong Yongliang teach Brother Shield a lesson..." Shen Yushu looked at Gu Mengyao with a half smile. "Hee hee, how about I tell Little Liangzi tomorrow at school that Brother Shield is your boyfriend? And that you two are even living together... That would save him from bothering you again. He seems pretty scared of Brother Shield now. If he heard the news, he'd probably be scared out of his wits..."
