-14 Chapter 101: Family (2/2)
Yi Fei couldn't believe it when she heard Wu Chen mentioned about putting her in the family list. An outright lie like that should be against the law.
”Chen Chen, nepotism is the lowest and least imaginative form of corruption. Do you know that? As a law-abiding citizen of the country, we must always tell the truth so that…” Yi Fei couldn't finish her sentence because Wu Chen was glaring at her.
It has been a while since Wu Chen glared at her. Yi Fei shut her mouth and followed Wu Chen to go to the clinic.
Inside the clinic, Yi Fei got a thorough examination even though she said that she was fine. The doctor also suggested her to schedule a meeting for therapy if she ever feels distressed over what happened to herself.
After the examination, Wu Chen wanted to send Yi Fei home, but she insisted that she didn't want to stay in her house alone. Since Liu s.h.i.+ still had not identified the real culprit that vandalised Yi Fei's car, Wu Chen thought that leaving Yi Fei alone in the house would dangerous, so he took her away with him to his office.
Right after they exited the private elevator of the Wu Hotel, Yi Fei was skipping happily like a child who went to her parent's workplace for the first time. The workers in the office who saw them were surprised to see that their boss had a girlfriend. Even more, he brought his girlfriend to his office; it was very unlike the boss they knew for the few months working with him.
”You can do your work comfortably. I am going to be very quiet. I will lie down here; pretend that I'm not here” Yi Fei laid down on the long sofa inside Wu Chen's office. Wu Chen had lent her his coat so that she could cover her exposed leg while lying on the couch.
Yi Fei took out a book from the bag. Wu Chen saw that Yi Fei was reading a book ent.i.tled 'The language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic'. Once in a while, Yi Fei would let out a 'he he he' sound when something in the book amused her.
Wu Chen wondered if he should let Yi Fei read that kind of book – tales and black magic. But as long as Yi Fei was happy, he was fine with whatever book she read. When it was almost 4 o'clock, Wu Chen excused himself to attend the meeting he rescheduled that morning when he rushed to get Yi Fei from the school. Wu Chen didn't want to leave Yi Fei alone in his room, but Yi Fei insisted that Wu Chen should not worry about her since she could entertain herself. Wu Chen pecked her forehead before he left with a heavy heart.
When it was time to get off work, NaNa wanted to call Wu Chen to pick her up even after she was told by Wu Chen earlier that someone will pick her up. Before she could dial her brother's number, her phone rang, and her screen displayed a string of number she could not recognise.
”I'm in the parking lot, hurry up” The male caller hung up the phone. No introduction, no greeting. The person went straight to the point without wasting his breath.
NaNa could not recognise the voice, but she went over to the parking lot anyway. While walking towards the parking lot, she had a lot of things on her mind; she even tried to guess the ident.i.ty of the caller. She imagined that the caller could be her brother's subordinate and the subordinate could be a very handsome subordinate based on his voice alone. NaNa was excited when she thought of that possibility.
In the parking lot, there was a familiar black Lexus parked on the spot where Yi Fei always parked her G.o.ddess. Upon seeing the black Lexus, NaNa sighed of disappointment.
She opened her call log and searched for the string of numbers that called her earlier.
She typed 'Mr Someone-Like-You' and pressed save.
