Chapter 283 - Canst Climb It, Learn To Raze It (1/2)

"Come and join me for dinner," Wu Wang offered her as he gestured towards his table. Jun Li Na craned her neck and her eyes went round as she caught sight of Yang Ziyi sitting alone on the table.

"What the heck? Wang, you are here on a date?" Jun Li Na's reaction was as if he was a ghost or something.

"I'm not on a date." Wu Wang answered with a flick on her head. "She's just an acquaintance."

"And you want me to believe that?" Jun Li Na gave him an askance look as she added, "When was the last time you actually had brought a companion for dinner? She can't just be an acquaintance."

"Stop overeating! She's really just someone I'm familiar with and nothing else. Don't try to give any other meaning to this meeting." Of course, Jun Li Na believed his words but it was a rare chance to tease him, how could she as a friend let it go? Friends are born to disturb and if she won't do it, she'd be going against the friendship code.

"She's pretty and seems intelligent as well. How about turning this dinner into a date?" She suggested brazenly making him narrow his eyes at her.

"You drop this topic. From what I heard, you'd stayed with Little Mey's brother-in-law. What was his name... Ah! Ye Jun... What's going on?" Wu Wang chose to divert her attention but his words made Jun Li Na's smile stiffen up a bit.

"There is nothing going on between us. He's someone who saved my life and I owe him for that but nothing else." Jun Li Na replied with a straight face. But that was not what Wu Wang had heard.

"But I heard from Xu Mey that he loves you and is also trying to pursue you?"

"Just because he loves me doesn't mean that I have to love him as well. He's a good person and I know that. I know that very well. But... He and I can never be together. He can only stay as someone I owe my life to, nothing more than that." Jun Li Na told Wu Wang honestly since there was no need to hide anything between them.

"Did you tell Little Mey that you're gonna break her brother-in-law's heart?" Wu Wang asked.

"I never gave him any hope... And I certainly don't want to give any hope." She inhaled a deep breath and added, "Let's chat over lunch sometime. I have a meeting and they are waiting for me in the private meeting rooms." Wu Wang nodded his head and saw her entering one of the rooms.

"What are you up to?" He whispered to himself, shaking his head and turned back towards his own table.

Coming closer to the table, Wu Wang halted in his steps. The scene before him was too peculiar for him.
