Chapter 1011 — Still Likes the Silly One: Tang Yun Hid Nothing and Told Wei Zhao in Full Detail What She Had Said to Feng Xiaoxiao and the Agreement They Had Reached

The Blossom Guardian

After hearing Tang Yun's explanation, Wei Zhao could not help widening his eyes in surprise. He had never expected Tang Yun to be quite so clever! She had not only reasonably secured her own position, but had also made Feng Xiaoxiao feel as if she had picked up a great bargain!

"Yunyun, I never thought you were so smart!" Wei Zhao exclaimed.

"Hmph," Tang Yun said with some pride. "If I weren't smart, I would have been squeezed out long ago! What happened with Feng Xiaoxiao last time taught me a lesson. I am not as silly as I used to be..."

"Heh." Wei Zhao said no more, for Tang Yun becoming a little more mature was after all something worth celebrating. People always had to grow up.

"By the way, how are you going to tell Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu tonight? Yushu seems rather hostile toward Xiaoxiao." Tang Yun said helplessly.

"I can only tell them the truth." Wei Zhao said, "Yaoyao and Xiaoshu are both reasonable people. Once they know about Xiaoxiao's situation, they will not make things hard for her anymore!"

"Yes, that's true! But you still have to tell them not to drop their hostility toward Xiaoxiao all at once. That would surely make her suspicious. It would be best to accept Xiaoxiao slowly, or to have an opportunity like the one between Xiaoxiao and me!" Tang Yun suggested.

"I understand. I will tell them." Wei Zhao knew Tang Yun was right, but with Yaoyao's and Xiaoshu's intelligence, they should be able to handle it perfectly.

"You are driving, aren't you? Then I won't bother you. Drive safely. See you tomorrow!" Tang Yun said with a smile.

"Mm, see you tomorrow." Wei Zhao nodded.

Wei Zhao was almost at the villa district. He hung up the phone, drove for only a few more minutes, and parked the car in the courtyard of the villa.

When Wei Zhao entered the villa, he saw, just as he expected, Yaoyao and Xiaoshu sitting in the living room watching television.

Xiaoshu was watching an exciting moment, waving her hands and dancing about, and had not even noticed Wei Zhao come back. Gu Mengyao could not help kicking Shen Yushu. "Xiaoshu!"

"Huh?" Shen Yushu froze for a moment before she saw that Wei Zhao had returned. Remembering she had something to ask him, she hurriedly said, "Shield Brother, you are back? What was the matter with that Feng Xiaoxiao today? Do you not like Xiaoshu anymore, so you found someone like Xiaoshu to have a threesome with Tang Yun?"

"Xiaoshu!" Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu. "What do you think about every day? Stop talking nonsense! You are a girl. You talk so crudely. How will you ever get married?"

"Oh, if Shield Brother does not want me anymore, I might as well die. Why talk about marriage!" Shen Yushu said rather sadly.

"All right, Xiaoshu, stop fooling around." Wei Zhao glanced at Shen Yushu, then said, "You noticed something was wrong long ago, didn't you?"

"Oh?" Shen Yushu was slightly taken aback.

She had indeed felt that Feng Xiaoxiao's sudden appearance was quite inconceivable. In theory, Wei Zhao could not possibly accept a girl as his little wife for no reason, and Tang Yun was even less the kind of person who would willingly share Wei Zhao with another!

If Tang Yun had been willing to let Wei Zhao take a little wife, she would not have stood against them so sharply back at Fatty Lai's house!

Gu Mengyao was also slightly startled. She too had sensed that something was not right about tonight, but she had not told Xiaoshu. She had only told Xiaoshu to wait until Wei Zhao came back and ask him what was really going on, never expecting that Xiaoshu had also noticed something was off.

"Ah, how boring. Shield Brother, why do you always see through me..." Shen Yushu said dejectedly at once.

"Heh, I still like you when you look silly." Wei Zhao said with a smile.

The reason Wei Zhao said Shen Yushu had noticed something wrong with Feng Xiaoxiao long ago was because of Shen Yushu's attitude toward Feng Xiaoxiao. Although the two bickered, it had never developed into any real attack or scheming, and with Xiaoshu's character, she would never cooperate with someone she disliked to play a trick on someone else.

"Oh, that's good." Shen Yushu cheered up again. "Shield Brother, what is really going on with that Feng Xiaoxiao?"

The reason Shen Yushu was happy was that she felt Feng Xiaoxiao was just a 'not-silly version' of herself, but since Wei Zhao said he still liked her silly self, that meant he liked her more than Feng Xiaoxiao, and of course she was overjoyed.

"Let me tell you about Xiaoxiao, but you must keep it secret." Wei Zhao nodded as he instructed Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.

"Don't worry. My nickname is Secrecy Shu. What I must not say, I will never say even if I am beaten to death." Shen Yushu nodded hastily.

Gu Mengyao said nothing, but she nodded along to show she would keep the secret.

"Xiaoxiao... does not have much time left..." Wei Zhao sighed as he sat down on the sofa opposite Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.

"Ah? Not much time left?" Gu Mengyao was slightly stunned, then her expression changed. "Wei Zhao, do you mean Feng Xiaoxiao is..."

"That's right. Xiaoxiao has a terminal illness, and even I am helpless against it... In at most a year, she will come to the end of her life!" Wei Zhao said with a sigh.

Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu both widened their eyes and stared at Wei Zhao in astonishment.

Wei Zhao continued, "Xiaoxiao's father and I are... very good friends, so he begged me, saying Xiaoxiao has never tasted what love feels like, and he wanted me to promise him to play along with Feng Xiaoxiao and be Xiaoxiao's pretend boyfriend until the day she quietly leaves..."

As he spoke, Wei Zhao told Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu in detail what had happened that afternoon. "And Yunyun is very kind, so she agreed first..."

"Tang Yun agreed on her own?" Gu Mengyao was somewhat surprised. She had not expected Tang Yun to be so kind as to willingly give Wei Zhao up...

"Mm." Wei Zhao nodded.

"Sister Yaoyao, then Feng Xiaoxiao is so pitiful!" Shen Yushu rather regretted having confronted Feng Xiaoxiao today. The girl was about to die, so why had she bothered to argue with her? Wei Zhao could stay by her side for a lifetime, but what about Feng Xiaoxiao? She probably had at most a year left!

"Yes... I really never thought Feng Xiaoxiao would have a hereditary terminal illness..." Gu Mengyao sighed. "No wonder Tang Yun would accept her..."

"I have told you everything I should. I hope you can keep it secret for me. After all, this is being kept from Xiaoxiao." Wei Zhao said, "Xiaoxiao is a girl with very strong pride. If she finds out that I know about her illness, she will probably think I am with her only out of sympathy and pity, and that would cause trouble!"
