Chapter 275 - Pretentious Liars (1/2)

On Friday night, Wu Wang was discharged from the hospital and after a long and hard argument, he finally managed to shake off his mother and came back to his penthouse alone. It wasn't ideal for him to stay alone but Fan Bingbing knew she couldn't possibly win an argument with her stubborn son.

If he wasn't this stubborn, she'd have already gotten him married a long time ago. But sigh... He was a hard nut to crack indeed.

After being all alone in his penthouse, Wu Wang felt strange loneliness in his heart. At the hospital, there was always someone hanging around him and if no-one was there that chatterbox doctor, Yang Ziyi would come to nag him for no reason. Now, there was an eerie silence in the big penthouse.

Tossing and turning till dawn, sleep finally knocked on his weary soul and he fell in slumber.

"Ding-Dong!"

The doorbell rang around 11 o'clock in the morning. The shrill sound snapped him out of his slumber making him groan in irritation. Hearing the doorbell ring again, he had to leave the comfort of his bed and walk out to the door.

Tiredly, he pulled open the door. But suddenly, all the sleep in his eyes vanished like morning dew. The person at the door was the one he least expected or perhaps, it never even crossed his mind that he'd see that person standing before him like this.

"Hi, Wang!" Her soft voice rang out in his ears waking him up from his stupor.

"What are you doing here, Ms. Zhou Qi?" He was stern and that really surprised Zhou Qi.

"I heard that you're in the hospital. So, I brought some fruits for you," she extended the fruit basket towards him.

Wu Wang stared at the fruit basket for a moment before taking it from her hands and saying, "Thank you very much. Now, you can leave." He was about to close the door but Zhou Qi held it with her hand. "Is there something else?" He asked in a neutral manner.

"I-," she bit her lip trying to shake off her nervousness as she continued, "I want to talk to you. Can I come inside?"

Looking at her eager eyes, Wu Wang relented and gave her the way to pass. She mumbled a 'thank you' and walked inside. Her eyes wandered around, looking at the art pieces and interior. She took a seat at the couch and Wu Wang went to bring some water for her as common courtesy.

After offering her some water, he took a seat far opposite of hers. "You have a beautiful place." She commented.

"That I already know. Why don't you get to the point?" Wu Wang didn't want to dilly-dally anymore since her presence was making him uncomfortable.

"I need to tell you something... About... What really happened back then..." She started speaking but just the mention of what happened back then made him clench his fists tightly.

"I don't want to hear the same story all over again," Wu Wang interrupted her and continued, "I know you're only here because you already know that I learned all about what happened back then."

Zhou Qi lowered her head since his words weren't wrong. She had heard everything from Ming Qu and that's why she decided to come. To apologize to Wu Wang.
