Chapter 633 — The Same Question
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
And Gu Mengyao had deliberately dodged the question as well. For a long while afterward, Chen Yutian had been terribly curious about just what secret that box held, but he never got an answer. Later he went off to the special training brigade, gradually grew up, and became an armed police soldier stationed on the frontier.
"That box? It's nothing really — just a vow between me and Sister Yaoyao!" Shen Yushu no longer felt the least bit embarrassed about it. Over the years her character had taken shape: that simpleton look that concealed a great wisdom, a born swindler who could fool a person to death and never pay for it.
"A vow? What vow?" Chen Yutian asked.
An Jianwen's eyes went wide as well, waiting for Shen Yushu's answer. He wasn't much interested in other people's business, but Shen Yushu had said the vow involved Gu Mengyao — and anything to do with Gu Mengyao he was very eager to know.
"Our vow was that we would marry the same man as Sister Yaoyao — Sister Yaoyao as the first wife, and me as the second wife!" Shen Yushu said, a little smugly.
"Xiaoshu, don't talk nonsense!" Gu Mengyao's face flushed slightly. What kind of vow was that? Back then she had no idea how she had come to agree to it; all she had thought was that she didn't want to be parted from Xiaoshu, that this way the two of them could be together for a lifetime. But now that she had grown up, looking back, how childish she had been. Was such a thing really possible?
Could Xiaoshu really marry the same man as her? Even if she herself agreed, wouldn't it frighten off whatever boyfriend she had in the future? At that thought, an image of someone surfaced in Gu Mengyao's mind for no reason she could name... Wei Zhao? Why would she think of him? If Xiaoshu married him, they would actually make a good match — probably only he could put up with Shen Yushu's antics; after living under the same roof for so long, Wei Zhao still didn't seem tired of her.
Chen Yutian hadn't expected his sister to have made such a vow when she was so small. Could all that talk of first wives and second wives really be true? Was she truly going to marry the same man as Gu Mengyao? That was absurd beyond belief.
It ran counter to the Chen family's interests. How could a girl of the Chen family be someone's second wife? How could Grandfather ever agree to it?
Of course, if that man were powerful enough, courted by all the great houses, then perhaps it might be possible. But such a person seemed far too rare. And even if he existed, could he tolerate his sister?
Better that he not end up denied the tenderness of a second wife and instead be tormented to death by one.
Chen Yutian's gaze unconsciously came to rest on Wei Zhao. If this man were his instructor, perhaps he would be a decent choice after all?
