-90 Chapter 26: Picture (2/2)
”Well, that depends on how much I cherish that friend. If that friend is my best friend, I might reconsider pursuing the girl. But if that friend is just an acquaintance and we are not really that close, I will pursue the girl even though he is also interested in that girl” Liu s.h.i.+ was very confident in his answer. He smiled convincingly.
”But that is your friend ar… Are you really going to fight with him over a girl?” Wu Chen was never one who fought for love with people. He believed that if the woman truly loved him, she will come to him. There was no need for him to fight with people over it. But when he thought of Bai Jing Ting and Yi Fei together as a couple, his heart ached.
”Why not? I don't owe him anything… and I deserved to try to fight for my happiness too in case that girl is my one and true love” Something snapped in Wu Chen's heart. What Liu s.h.i.+ said was right. He did not owe Bai Jing Ting anything so why should he felt uncomfortable over it.
”What about if the girl calls you brother?” Wu Chen thought of how Yi Fei called both him and Bai Jing Tng as a brother.
”Well, that could be bad” Liu s.h.i.+ touched his chin as if thinking hard.
”Why?” Wu Chen's attention was fully on Liu s.h.i.+ now.
”I just get brother zoned ar… of course it is bad” Liu s.h.i.+ never had girls calling him brother before except for his cousin and family member. When he looked at Wu Chen, Wu Chen seemed like he lost half of his soul.
Since Wu Chen was not talking or asking a question anymore, Liu s.h.i.+ excused himself and walked out of the office. Outside the office, the other workers were shocked to find that their cold CEO was asking about a girl. The CEO they knew was cold and rarely smiled to them. It surprised them that their boss knew how to inquire about girls too.
Wu Chen tried to calm his mind but his mind kept on coming back to the picture sent by NaNa. He did not know whether his attraction towards Yi Fei was because he liked her for real or because Yi Fei was different from the other woman that he had met. To him, Yi Fei was a rare specimen of woman that piqued his interest.
He looked at the picture back and he cannot help but think about Yi Fei's knee. He wondered if her knee was better. He sent a QQ request to Yi Fei's number. Within a few seconds, the other party confirmed his request. The other party then requested to be added into his circle of friend and he confirmed it on the spot.
Wu Chen opened Yi Fei chat box. He wanted to ask about her knee and how had she been holding up but he can't seem to get his fingers to type. He stood up and began pacing left and right in his office. A lot of things were in his mind and the topic about her knee was so tacky.
Bai Jing Ting went to bandage her knee and check up on her; of course, her knee would feel better. Wu Chen thought that asking about that after Bai Jing Ting's visit will make him appear to be somewhat trying too hard.
It would be impossible for Wu Chen to ask about recipes from Yi Fei because she was injured. She needed to rest, not to think or do something tiring like playing her phone the whole day. After pacing back and forth for a few minutes, Wu Chen stopped pacing and sat down on his chair.
This kind of thing was too tiring for him so he decided not to send any message to Yi Fei.
When Wu Chen reached his apartment, he was still thinking about the picture. He propped down on the sofa when he felt like he sat on something hard. He stood up and saw that there was a book on the sofa. He picked up the book and read the t.i.tle ”Love & Misadventure by Lang Leav”.
A bulb lighted up in his brain. He looked at the book and take out his phone. Now he had a reason to send her a message that did not seem too desperate. He opened his QQ, searched for Yi Fei and started typing.
