NovelEnglishBack at Wu Wang’s side, he parked the car at the side of the road the instant they entered the city. "Get off!" He said to Yang Ziyi in a plain voice.
Yang Ziyi gaped at him in disbelief as she asked uncertainly, "Here?"
Wu Wang gave her a sweet smile which was so fake that even Yang Ziyi wanted to ask whether his face was hurting or not. "You asked for a ride to the city. Here we are in the city. Now, get off already."
"Don’t be so mean. I won’t even get a taxi from here." Yang Ziyi replied as she looked around at the busy road outside the car. "Drop me somewhere else. I’m all alone. And it’s already nighttime. What if something happened?"
"What can really happen to you?" Wu Wang asked, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.

"If you’re so scared, why did you choose to go to the cemetery so late?" He took a pause and leaned a bit towards her dangerously. "And what’s the guarantee that I won’t do anything to you. As you said yourself, you’re young... pretty and also alone in my car at this time."
Yang Ziyi laughed out seemingly not taking his words seriously. "You? And do something to me? Haha! Such a joke that is!"
"Why? You think I can’t?" He asked looking straight into her eyes.
"I think you forgot... Let me remind you of the time when we met about a couple of years ago in Italy. You treated me like a log of wood. So, I can bet that even if your life depended on it, you’d rather die than to do anything to me." Hearing her conviction, Wu Wang didn’t know how to react.
"I’m sure I didn’t treat you like a log of wood," Wu Wang argued as he straightened back.
"Pft!" Yang Ziyi scoffed as she added, "We had to share the same room and I told you that I’m bored. But touching is far of thing, you didn’t even talk to me for the whole night. I was bored to death that night. You completely disregarded my existence. That was humiliating!"
Wu Wang scratched his head awkwardly. He really didn’t talk to her back then for the entire night. It was his bad luck that he was stuck with her in one room. In his defense, she loved to talk and Wu Wang thought that if he answered her once then her chatterbox won’t stop for the rest of the night. Therefore, he chose to ignore her presence altogether.
"Fine!" Wu Wang grumbled and offered, "Where do you want to go? I’ll drop you off."
Yang Ziyi smiled in victory and said, "Just drop me at any lively and outgoing place."
"You don’t even know where do you want to go?" He gave her a look of disbelief.
"What? I came only a couple of weeks ago. I even live in a hospital, how would I know anything about this place?" Wu Wang felt she was right. He already heard from Lin Shen that she stayed at the hospital and all her life revolved around her patients. In other words, Yang Ziyi was one of those doctors who had no personal lives.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRemembering how she just came from her brother’s grave, Wu Wang felt bad for her. He felt like she shouldn’t be alone at this time. She’d choose to get drunk to rise above her pain and as she just mentioned, she’s a girl, all alone and even though he didn’t want to accept the fact she surely was beautiful.
"I’m... I’m going to Crystal Cuisines, do you want to join me for dinner?" Yang Ziyi’s eyes brightened up at the suggestion as she bobbed her head up and down.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Her excitement was infectious since even he felt elated for some reason even when it wasn’t his first visit to that particular restaurant. "But why are you going there? Do you have a meeting? If you do then I don’t want to be a nuisance."
"Don’t worry. I’m just going to treat myself to a lavish meal." Wu Wang didn’t bother telling her that it was a decision he made because of the crestfallen look in her eyes which she was trying to conceal with her bright smile.
"Huh? Treat yourself? Why? Did something good happen?" Yang Ziyi inquired wiggling her brows like a curious child.
"None of your business." While she scowled at his words, Wu Wang maneuvered the car towards his favorite restaurant.
Wu Wang knew how much of a blessed person he was to have friends to share his happiness and griefs with him. Perhaps, that’s why he could tell how much Yang Ziyi must be feeling alone. A girl who made her profession into her life was really pitiful.
