Chapter 497 — Is He Your Boyfriend?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But he could not tell Feng Xiaoxiao much about Wei Zhao's affairs. Doubts or no, he would have to keep them to himself. He did not know the details of Wei Zhao's identity either; his coming to assist the Mysterious Investigation Bureau had been arranged from above.
"Xiaoxiao, go back to the hotel first. I have something urgent to deal with—I may not be back tonight, and tomorrow I might be busy as well..." Here Feng Tianlong faltered. He had only just promised to spend a few days with his daughter, and now this.
"It's fine, go do what you have to. Tomorrow I'll find my classmate and go to the auction!" This time Feng Xiaoxiao was not angry at all. She waved a hand carelessly and spoke lightly.
Her manner gave Feng Tianlong pause—until it struck him how she had defended Wei Zhao earlier. Could it be... his daughter had taken a fancy? Had she begun to like boys? And that boy was Wei Zhao?
The very possibility startled him. Yet unlike other parents, Feng Tianlong did not oppose his daughter's early romance; given her peculiar circumstances, he rather hoped she would find a boyfriend soon and give him a grandchild—so that if something truly happened to her, he would not be left to grow old alone.
And if the one she had set her heart on was Wei Zhao, so much the better. Feng Tianlong had seen with his own eyes how outstanding Wei Zhao was. He would not object to anyone else she chose, but was it not better that she choose someone who satisfied him as well?
Feng Tianlong had not wanted his daughter running about, but the thought that tomorrow she would be with Wei Zhao—and that Wei Zhao could keep her safe—put his mind at ease.
"Is that the Wei Zhao you meant?" Feng Tianlong asked once they reached the parking lot and he had opened the car door and gotten in.
"Mm..." Feng Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed; from her father's tone, it seemed he had sensed something. But apart from the shame, she was not afraid. Never mind that she and Wei Zhao were only fooling about now—even if they truly were together, she would not care. She had been a troublemaker since childhood; angry or not, her father would find her the same as ever.
"Xiaoxiao, is he your boyfriend?" Feng Tianlong started the car and asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Feng Xiaoxiao had not expected him to ask so bluntly. She froze, then stammered, "N-no!"
"No?" Feng Tianlong echoed. "Just now you looked as if you were quite ready to defend him."
"Well... we're classmates, and deskmates besides. Of course I'd defend him!" Feng Xiaoxiao was flustered. Fearless as she was, matters of boys and girls still made her shy.
"Heh... Xiaoxiao, I'm not against you having a boyfriend. If there's someone suitable, bring him home and let me have a look," Feng Tianlong said with a smile. Knowing his daughter was embarrassed, he asked no more, and simply made his position clear.
