Chapter 262 — Gu Mengyao's Suitor
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
A shirt worth a few dozen yuan and a pair of shabby black casual pants, the whole outfit worth at most two hundred yuan even at a stretch. How could such a man ever be a match for one of the former Four Young Masters of Songshan?
"Oh, his name is Wei Zhao, and he is Sister Yaoyao's bodyguard and shield!" Shen Yushu blurted out quickly, speaking before anyone else.
"Bodyguard and shield?" An Jianwen was slightly taken aback, unsure what bodyguard and shield meant... If it were only bodyguard, that would be easy to understand, for a rich young lady would naturally have bodyguards by her side, but the word shield could not help but suggest something more... Shield, that was a rather suggestive profession...
"It means boyfriend!" Shen Yushu explained with a giggle.
"Little Shu!" Gu Mengyao shot Shen Yushu a helpless glare, yet for reasons she herself could not name, she neither denied it nor explained...
To An Jianwen, however, Gu Mengyao's glare looked like a coy reproach. To his mind, her relationship with Wei Zhao must still be kept secret, because Gu Pengzhan would never let his daughter marry a man whose clothes cost less than two hundred yuan and who made a woman pay for his meal, so their relationship must be unannounced!
But since Shen Yushu had let it slip, Gu Mengyao could only glare at her in feigned anger, and that left a sour taste in An Jianwen's heart. Damn it, did a poor boy like that dream of climbing to a high branch? Was he dreaming?
"Oh, so you are Sister Yaoyao's boyfriend!" An Jianwen finally stood up. Whatever else might be said, since this boy was already Gu Mengyao's boyfriend, he could barely count as a rival, though of a rather low level. Still, since he had managed to win Gu Mengyao's favor, he must have something to him, so An Jianwen would not underestimate him. He held out his hand to Wei Zhao. "Hello, I am An Jianwen, Sister Yaoyao's elder brother. You could say we are childhood sweethearts."
An Jianwen had expected Wei Zhao to look surprised and flustered upon hearing his name, but to his disappointment, Wei Zhao seemed not to know him at all, and calmly held out his hand. "My hands got vegetable soup on them from carrying the fast food just now. You do not mind, Mr. An?"
"This..." An Jianwen froze, staring at Wei Zhao's greasy right hand, left speechless and caught in a dilemma. If he shook it, his own hand would get dirty, but if he refused, when he himself had offered first, would it not look graceless to back out now?
With no way out, An Jianwen could only shake hands with Wei Zhao with a pained face.
"Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao's follower," Wei Zhao introduced himself flatly.
Follower? Damn it, yet another new term? Was this a provocation? Bodyguard, shield, and now follower! Was follower not much the same as boyfriend?
