Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 306 - A Pair of Pathetic Singles

The four friends had left the noodle shop after enjoying their meal. They decided to take a stroll in the hospital’s garden since the weather had suddenly turned a bit cloudy. With cool breeze brushing against their faces, it was beautiful weather compared to the scorching heat in the first half of the day.

Xu Mey hadn’t talked to Jie since the morning and she was really missing him now but she still didn’t call him. She tightened her hold on her phone but didn’t dare to press the button. Seeing her conflicted look, Lin Shen suggested, "If you’re so worried, why don’t you just call Jie? Don’t dawdle for no reason."

"Shen Ge, I want to call but... I don’t want to call as well." Lin Shen gave her a stupified look.

"Now, what exactly is that supposed to mean?"

"I mean to say that... Sigh! I want to give him some space. Ah-Jie should be spending this time with his parents. They need their son." Understanding her reason, Lin Shen rubbed her head lovingly.

Behind these two, both Wu Wang and He Jian were stuck on what Yang Ziyi said in the noodle shop. "Do you think my sadness had been hurting Weiwei’s spirit?" He Jian was still looking at the ground when he voiced out his question. His voice was only audible to Wu Wang and it was clear that the question was directed at him as well.

"Do you know why mom and I always talked about Weiwei with a smile?" Wu Wang didn’t answer his question but instead asked his own. He Jian turned his gaze towards Wu Wang and shook his head in negation. He really had no idea.

"My sister suffered from cancer from an early age." Wu Wang started with heavy feelings. "She always used to smile before us. But I had heard her crying in pain in the dead of night... all alone." He looked heavenward as he added, "She never really cried before you because she was scared of hurting you. But I was her only brother and no matter how hard she tried, she eventually cried in my embrace."

"She stayed strong before you. But I was one whom she told that she wished her life would go easy on her now." Wu Wang placed his hand on He Jian’s shoulder as he said, "Weiwei had spent her life bearing that torturing pain. Death was her only way of resting in peace. You might have ignored the look of relief on her face when she died but I didn’t. Jian, you need to accept that she’s in a better place now. If nothing else, at least she won’t have to cry herself to sleep in pain anymore."

Unknowingly, He Jian’s eyes had filled up with tears. Although Wu Wang was trying to smile, tears could be seen swimming in his own eyes as well.

"The answer to your earlier question would be... Weiwei’s only happiness in life was your presence. She loved you more than her life itself. And the girl who hid her blood-stained clothes from you, do you think she’d be happy to see you sad because of her?" They both sat on a bench under the shade of a tree. Wu Wang could understand He Jian’s inner turmoil. "Do you know why mom had been nagging you about getting married?"

"Why?" He Jian asked in a daze.

"Because it was my sister’s last wish that your wife would be of mom’s choice. Just like that point-blank doctor said, I also don’t want to remember my sister with tears in my eyes. Especially when I know that she finally is free of all the pain."

Saying his piece, Wu Wang left He Jian alone to ponder over his thoughts. Xu Mey and Lin Shen had already been chatting elsewhere. Wu Wang waved both of them goodbye before making his way inside the hospital again.

Getting the information that he needed, he went to wait outside an O.R. He had to say thanks to that stupid doctor, after all, it was a very first time that someone dared to be so honest with He Jian.

Yang Ziyi pulled off her surgery cap as she walked out through the electronic doors.

"I never thought Dr. Yang is actually such a deep person." At this familiar voice, Yang Ziyi turned around to find Wu Wang leaning against the wall with his arms crossed before his chest.

Yang Ziyi stared at him for a long while without saying anything. After frowning and making strange faces, she walked up to Wu Wang’s side, lifted her hand and pinched his cheek with excessive force. "Ouch! What are you doing?" He glared at her coldly as he rubbed his cheek.

"Omo! You’re real!" She exclaimed ignoring his glares.

"Have you lost your mind?" Wu Wang poked at her head but she seemed to be beaming for no reason. "Nevermind... You didn’t have a mind, to begin with. I shouldn’t have waited for hours." Wu Wang was regretting his decision to be nice to this dumb doctor.

"Where are you going? Stop, stop!" He was intending to leave when she ran to block his way. "Let’s forget the last five minutes. How about we start from the start? Were you waiting for me?" Wu Wang gave a tacit agreement. "Why? What have I done to get this privilege?"

"For knocking some sense into my friend’s mind, I decided to treat you to dinner and also, being your tour guide like I said last time." Wu Wang didn’t tell her that he actually wanted to accompany her because she still hasn’t found any friend because of her honesty. He found her amusing but he also felt bad for her since she was all alone.

"Will you take me to a fancy restaurant like last time?" Yang Ziyi asked eagerly.

Wu Wang eyed her weirdly. "If you fancy the fancy restaurant, I’ll take you there."

"Yay!" She jumped up in excitement.

"Why are you acting like a child? You earn enough to take a trip to a fancy restaurant yourself." Wu Wang reminded her.

"Oi! If I went all alone wouldn’t it make me look like a pathetic single?"

"Aren’t you a pathetic single?" Wu Wang wiggled his brows in amusement.

Yang Ziyi narrowed her eyes at him dangerously before she grinned brightly and said, "So are you..." Wu Wang’s face changed visibly at this reminder.

"Then I guess if both pathetic singles would accompany each other for dinner, it’d be a sight to behold." Yang Ziyi bobbed her head up and down in agreement.

"Wait for me... I’ll be right back after changing my clothes." Saying that she sprinted towards the locker room. Wu Wang could only shake his head at seeing a seemingly grown-up doctor, skipping her way towards the locker room.
