Chapter 610 — The Employer Is So Fierce!

"Heh... I know him." Wei Zhao smiled. "He's a playboy. Pay him no mind."

"Mm!" Guan Xin nodded, and the knot in her heart loosened. So long as Wei Zhao had not misunderstood, that was enough. In truth, Guan Xin did not understand it herself — how had she come to care so much about Wei Zhao? He clearly had a girlfriend already. What exactly was she trying to do? Even Guan Xin did not know.

"Have you finished buying your books?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Not yet. I was still choosing when that man named Kang or whatever showed up." Guan Xin shook her head. "He said a lot of strange things. I couldn't make sense of any of it."

"Heh, then you go on choosing. I'll just browse a bit..." Wei Zhao pulled a book off the shelf at random and began to leaf through it.

Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, having finished picking out their review materials, went to the medicine section to look for Wei Zhao, and there they saw him talking with Guan Xin.

"What is he doing?" Gu Mengyao was about to explode with rage. How was it that the moment she took her eyes off him, Wei Zhao was off philandering again? They had come to a bookstore to buy books, and he still managed to run into a pretty girl?

"Arrow-brand Bro is flirting!" Shen Yushu looked carefully, then said, "She's really pretty. No worse than Sister Yaoyao!"

"What did you say?" Gu Mengyao was so furious her teeth ground together. "What do you mean, no worse than me? This Wei Zhao — he'll be the death of me. If he doesn't go around chasing women, is he going to die?"

"Oh, I don't know. Then shall I go tell Arrow-brand Bro to stop flirting?" Shen Yushu asked.

"Don't you dare!" Gu Mengyao frowned. She did not want to march over and scold Wei Zhao directly — she needed some excuse, or else he would think she actually cared about him! At that thought, Gu Mengyao swiftly pulled out her wallet and stuffed it down the front of Shen Yushu's shirt. "Hide it. Say it's lost."

"Oh..." Shen Yushu looked down at her chest, now lopsided with one side bigger than the other, and immediately grew conflicted. "Sister Yaoyao, it's asymmetrical!"

"Bear with it. It'll be symmetrical again once we're home!" Gu Mengyao shot her a glare.

"Oh..." Shen Yushu could only nod, aggrieved.

"Wei Zhao! What are you doing? Xiaoshu and I went to buy books — how did you vanish the moment I turned around?" Gu Mengyao tried hard to make her voice sound furious. "My wallet's gone, and where did you run off to?"

Wei Zhao had just finished talking with Guan Xin and was about to look at some books when Gu Mengyao's shout gave him a fright.

"Who... who are they?" Guan Xin was startled too, staring at Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu with a trace of alarm — two girls so beautiful it hardly seemed real, yet so fierce they were frightening.

"My employers..." Wei Zhao shrugged and gave a bitter smile. "I have to go back. See you next time."

"Ah..." Guan Xin found it strange. How could Wei Zhao have employers? Wasn't he in business with her grandfather? Yet from the look of things, he seemed to be some sort of attendant to two young ladies. What on earth was going on?

But though Guan Xin was puzzled, she did not press him. She was not a nosy girl, and only nodded. "Mm, all right. Come by my home one of these days. Grandfather keeps asking when you'll be able to visit!"

"All right. I'll find a moment to come pay a visit!" Wei Zhao nodded.

"Then let Grandfather know in advance. I'll prepare a meal for you too!" Guan Xin said, a little embarrassed.

When Gu Mengyao heard that Guan Xin actually meant to cook for Wei Zhao, she was so angry her teeth clenched. She thought to herself: how can this girl be so shameless? She's going to cook for Wei Zhao?

"Wei Zhao, I'm hungry! Hurry home and cook for me and Xiaoshu!" Gu Mengyao jabbed a finger at Wei Zhao and spoke in a huff.

"Oh, I'm hungry too. I want shark meat!" Shen Yushu raised both hands and chimed in, but her movement was too big, and a corner of the wallet squeezed out from her chest without her noticing. Still bubbling with excitement, she went on, "Let's go catch a shark!"

"Your employer is so fierce!" Guan Xin's mouth fell open, and she stared at Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, dumbfounded. "You'd better hurry back, then. Don't let it affect your work..."

"All right, then. See you next time." Wei Zhao had no idea what madness had seized the young lady this time, and quickly walked over.

"Wei Zhao, it's because you left your post that my wallet got stolen. What do you have to say for yourself?" Gu Mengyao glared at Wei Zhao. "Hurry up and bring the thief to justice!"

"Oh, the one who stole your wallet is Xiaoshu." Wei Zhao laughed.

"How is that possible?" Gu Mengyao was startled. She had no idea how Wei Zhao knew, but she quibbled anyway. "Xiaoshu — how could Xiaoshu steal my wallet?"

"No, it wasn't me! I didn't steal it!" Shen Yushu shook her head along with her.

"Heh... it's right there on your chest, half of it sticking out!" Wei Zhao pointed at Shen Yushu.

"Huh?" Shen Yushu hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, a corner of the wallet was peeking out. "This... this..."

"Didn't you want the thief brought to justice? I've caught her for you. Shall we send her to the police station?" Wei Zhao asked with a smile.

"Oh, no, don't! I don't want to go to jail! Sister Yaoyao forced me to hide the wallet. It's not my fault!" Shen Yushu cried out in alarm.

"You—" Gu Mengyao's eyes went wide, her face a mask of black lines, her heart nearly bursting with rage. "What are you yelling for? Stop yelling! It's only because your chest is so big that it squeezed the wallet out!"

"Ah... that's not my fault either..." Shen Yushu said pitifully.

"Heh... now that the thief's been found, let's go home and eat." Wei Zhao smiled and said no more. Sometimes the young lady was even cuter than Xiaoshu? To think she could dream up such a ridiculous scheme.

After they got home at noon, Wei Zhao went to cook, while Gu Mengyao glared at Shen Yushu with the look of one whose iron will never becomes steel. "Honestly, you can't even act. You got found out just like that!"

"Sister Yaoyao, it's not my fault either. The wallet came out on its own..." Shen Yushu said weakly.

"All right, enough of that! You'll be the death of me!" Gu Mengyao said, speechless. "Who was that girl talking to Wei Zhao today?"

"I don't know either. I've never seen her before." Shen Yushu shook her head.

"Aren't you Agent Shu 007? Ask you anything and you know nothing!" Gu Mengyao shook her head.

While preparing the meal, Wei Zhao deliberately made an extra portion, intending to bring it to Tang Yun at the hospital later — but the young lady noticed.

"Wei Zhao, why did you cook so much food? Can the three of us even finish all that?" Gu Mengyao was only feeling irritable, so she had tossed out the question carelessly. In truth, the young lady normally never gave a thought to leftovers.

"I made an extra portion. I'll bring it to Tang Yun when I go to the hospital later." Wei Zhao did not hide it.

Bringing food to Tang Yun? The young lady's heart sank a little, though she did not let it show.
