Chapter 994 — Certified

So Wei Zhao had simply decided not to sign up for any singing contest at all.

"How about this — you, Sister Tang Yun, and me, the three of us form a singing group?" Feng Xiaoxiao went on, tempting Wei Zhao. "Look at you, with two beauties, one big and one small, at your side. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Oh, then go ask Yunyun about it." Wei Zhao felt he had refused about as much as he could, and it was time to compromise a little...

This job of posing as someone else's boyfriend really was not easy! He could not let Feng Xiaoxiao find out he was a fake, and he had to accept Feng Xiaoxiao gradually. Honestly, for Wei Zhao, this was harder than cultivating and leveling up.

Fortunately, Wei Zhao did not feel entirely without affection for Feng Xiaoxiao. At the very least, his time in Yanjing had given him some new understanding of this somewhat quirky girl!

In the face of Feng Xiaoxiao's declarations of love, Wei Zhao had shown no response. In truth, the main reason was that he did not know her real purpose. Wei Zhao feared she might harm Tang Yun, so he had paid her no mind.

But now, Tang Yun knew the truth, and Wei Zhao was, so to speak, courting a girl under imperial decree. Looking back at Feng Xiaoxiao, Wei Zhao found her quite adorable. At least she was relatively straightforward, bold enough to act and take responsibility. Though she could be a bit of a troublemaker at times, when he thought of her pitiful background, Wei Zhao could understand her well enough.

"I'll text her right now!" The moment Feng Xiaoxiao heard Wei Zhao agree, she happily pulled out her phone, ready to text Tang Yun.

But before her message went out, a text arrived on Wei Zhao's phone first.

Wei Zhao opened the message and glanced at it. It was from Shen Yushu.

"Brother Chewing Gum, Yaoyao and I are going to V to practice singing tonight. Will you come protect us? You can bring family along!"

Bring family along? Wei Zhao could not help but smile at Shen Yushu's message. It was rare for the young miss and Xiaoshu to have changed their attitude toward Tang Yun. At least they were no longer as hostile as before. That was a good thing.

Xiaoshu had asked politely, and Wei Zhao had no reason to refuse. He replied directly: "Okay."

"Who texted you?" Feng Xiaoxiao assumed it was Tang Yun messaging Wei Zhao, so she stopped editing her own message.

"Shen Yushu," Wei Zhao said. "She wants me to go with them to V to practice singing tonight."

"Then I'm coming too!" Feng Xiaoxiao said at once.

Wei Zhao thought it over. Since the young miss had agreed that Wei Zhao could bring someone along, one more person in Feng Xiaoxiao would not make much difference. So he nodded and said, "All right. Will you text Tang Yun?"

"Okay, I'll text her right now!" Seeing that Wei Zhao had agreed, Feng Xiaoxiao said happily.

The singing contest was organized for the entire senior year, so Teacher Liu was notifying everyone in Wei Zhao's class, and Tang Yun's class was being notified as well.

When Tang Yun received Feng Xiaoxiao's text saying she would go to V with Wei Zhao that evening to practice singing, she agreed without a second thought. After all, Tang Yun now wanted to create more chances for Feng Xiaoxiao to spend time with Wei Zhao. Who knew what her own tomorrow would look like?

"Wei Zhao, Sister Tang Yun agreed. She's coming with us too." Feng Xiaoxiao was rather excited. She had not expected Tang Yun to accept her so easily. Now it seemed that as long as she worked at it, she need not worry that Wei Zhao would not like her.

"What exactly did you say to Yunyun? Your relationship with her wasn't good before, was it?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Friendship between girls. You wouldn't understand," Feng Xiaoxiao said perfunctorily.

"..." Hearing Feng Xiaoxiao say that, Wei Zhao did not press further. How could he not know this was the result of Tang Yun taking the initiative to show goodwill? He could only pretend not to know. If he showed no curiosity at all, that would be suspicious!

After evening self-study let out, Wei Zhao was about to call the young miss to ask where they were going, when he saw that the young miss and Shen Yushu had already packed their bags and turned to look at him.

For the past few days, Wei Zhao had been driving Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu to school, so there was no need to hide the relationship between them anymore. Wei Zhao put down his phone and walked over to them, with Feng Xiaoxiao following close behind.

"Where are we going tonight?" Wei Zhao asked the young miss once he walked over.

"I don't know. Do you know any good V places?" Gu Mengyao had never been to a place like that before.

"Then let's just look around," Wei Zhao said. "Last time we went to play pool, there seemed to be a V place right next door."

"Then let's go there!" Gu Mengyao nodded, then looked at Xiaoshu.

"Oh, Brother Chewing Gum, did you bring family?" Shen Yushu remembered that Gu Mengyao had instructed her to make sure Wei Zhao brought Tang Yun.

"I did, I did! The family is right here!" Before Wei Zhao could speak, Feng Xiaoxiao raised her hand and beat him to it.

"You?" Shen Yushu's eyes went wide. Looking at Feng Xiaoxiao, who had suddenly popped out, she asked in confusion, "I was asking about Brother Chewing Gum's family. Who asked you?"

"I am his family. You're the one who's nobody — you're a clove of garlic!" Feng Xiaoxiao was instantly displeased and glared at Shen Yushu.

"You? What kind of family are you?" Shen Yushu was stunned. She had not expected Feng Xiaoxiao to come running out, and Gu Mengyao was puzzled too — how had Feng Xiaoxiao ended up with Wei Zhao, and why was she calling herself Wei Zhao's family?

But given the young miss's personality, unless she was pushed to her limit like last time at Fatty Lai's house by Tang Yun, she generally would not say anything.

"I'm Wei Zhao's little wife!" Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Yushu with a hint of smugness.

"Huh? You're Brother Chewing Gum's little wife? Impossible. I'm Brother Chewing Gum's little wife!" Shen Yushu glared at Feng Xiaoxiao.

"You? Aren't you just the best friend of Wei Zhao's employer? What are you pretending to be a little wife for? Did Wei Zhao acknowledge you, or did Wei Zhao's official wife, Sister Tang Yun, acknowledge you?" Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Yushu with open mockery, taunting her.

"Yaoyao is Brother Chewing Gum's official wife, and I'm the little wife. Does that need acknowledgment?" Shen Yushu said, refusing to back down. "Then who acknowledged you?"

"I am a little wife certified by Sister Tang Yun!" Feng Xiaoxiao snorted. "What about you? You haven't been certified, have you? Even if you count, you're just a knockoff little wife!"

"I was certified by Brother Chewing Gum. You're the knockoff little wife — you're a counterfeit little wife!" Shen Yushu snorted too. "If you don't believe me, ask Brother Chewing Gum!"

"Wei Zhao, is this silly girl your little wife?" Feng Xiaoxiao pointed at Shen Yushu and asked Wei Zhao.
