Chapter 502 — My Dad Wants to See You!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Stretching lazily, Wei Zhao called Tang Yun. The voice on the other end was still the same recorded message: the phone was switched off. Wei Zhao shook his head in helpless resignation; he had no idea whether Tang Yun had seen the text message he had sent her.
He went to wash his face, and the phone on the bed rang. Wei Zhao thought it was Tang Yun calling back, but when he picked it up, it was Feng Xiaoxiao.
Wei Zhao frowned. He had no wish to answer, but Feng Xiaoxiao's persistence was astonishing—she called once, then called again—so he had no choice but to pick up impatiently. "What is it?"
"Why are you so mean to me!" Hearing the impatience in his voice, Feng Xiaoxiao felt wronged at once. What was that supposed to mean? He was all soft words with everyone else, and this was how he treated her!
"Do you have something to say or not?" Wei Zhao paid her no mind. "If not, I'm hanging up."
"I do—don't hang up, I do! Really!" Feng Xiaoxiao was startled and hurried to hold him there, while her mind raced desperately for a reason to be calling him...
"Then say it." Wei Zhao suppressed the urge to hang up.
"Where are you?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked.
"A hotel." Wei Zhao said. "Anything else?"
"Yes, and also..." Feng Xiaoxiao was sweating at the brow with anxiety. "Which hotel are you staying at?"
"Does that have anything to do with your business?" Wei Zhao countered. "Do you actually have something to say or not?"
"I do! Um... my dad wants to see you! You know, at the auction before—you've met him..." Feng Xiaoxiao truly could not think of any other reason; a thought struck her, and she blurted out the first excuse that came to mind.
"Your dad? Looking for me?" Wei Zhao was taken aback. But he did not doubt her words, for he did know Feng Tianlong—they had even run a mission together—so it was quite possible that Feng Tianlong wanted to see him. Only, why would Feng Tianlong have Feng Xiaoxiao make the call? Couldn't he call himself?
Besides, he had already shot Feng Tianlong a look and a gesture. As an agent of solid caliber, could Feng Tianlong not tell that he did not want his identity exposed? Why would he come looking for him?
If he wanted to meet privately, fine—but to send Feng Xiaoxiao? Feng Tianlong was not the sort to do something so reckless.
"Yes..." Feng Xiaoxiao had only thrown out that reason on the spur of the moment, and now she found it hard to make the lie hold together. Yes—what would her father want with Wei Zhao? Her brain spun at full speed, and at last she had it!
"I told my dad that you're my boyfriend, so he wants to meet you..." Feng Xiaoxiao said, a little shyly.
"Huh?" Wei Zhao nearly threw the phone away. You can eat whatever you like, but you cannot say whatever you like! She had told Feng Tianlong that he was her boyfriend? Light dawned on Wei Zhao: no wonder Feng Tianlong wanted to meet him. Any father who heard his daughter had a boyfriend would want a look at the man—especially in his case, since he and Feng Tianlong already knew each other. Feng Tianlong was probably puzzling over how on earth he had ended up with his daughter!
"Wei Zhao... which hotel are you at? Shall I come find you?" Feng Xiaoxiao said to him in a soft, gentle voice.
"Uh... never mind. Where are you? I'll come find you." Wei Zhao was somewhat speechless. This was a matter he truly had to explain clearly to Feng Tianlong, or it would turn into a real mess.
"Hehe, I'm at the Songjiang International Hotel. I'll wait for you at the entrance!" Feng Xiaoxiao had not expected Wei Zhao to agree so readily; it seemed borrowing her father as a pretext was not bad at all! How could she know that Wei Zhao had simply misunderstood, and that there was more to this than met the eye?
"All right." Wei Zhao gave a wry smile and hung up. This was something he truly had to meet Feng Tianlong and explain face to face.
