Chapter 283 - Cant Climb It, Learn To Raze It

"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.

There, Yang Ziyi was sitting on the table with a fork and a spoon in her hand. Seemingly it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary but what she was doing was surely not ordinary. She made the fork stand before the wine glass and spoke in a childish voice, "Master, master! I can’t climb up this ice wall."

Then she made her voice a bit heavy as she moved the spoon and said, "Hoho! How can you become strong if you can’t even overcome such a small obstacle?"

Moving back to the meek childish voice, she said, "But master, the wall is too big for my frame."

Making her voice heavy again, she said, "Child, if you can’t climb a wall, make sure to have enough power to flatten it!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Yes, master!" the same childish voice said as she moved the fork to clink against the wine glass. "Haha! I did it! Master must be proud of me now!" She laughed out to herself but her laugh broke when she heard Wu Wang’s voice from behind.

"Master is really proud." Yang Ziyi coughed dryly and placed the fork and spoon back to their original spot. Wu Wang sat back on his seat and looked at her embarrassed face as a smile threatened to broke out on his face. "What are you, five? How can you even play with your own self?"

Yang Ziyi scratched the back of her head and replied, "I like playing with myself. What’s so wrong with it?"

Wu Wang looked at her for a moment before saying, "I liked that part about if you can’t climb it, know how to flatten it."

Yang Ziyi smiled and answered, "I like that part as well. My young master used to say that to me."

"Your young master?" Wu Wang inquired with interest. But she stayed quiet, not wanting to answer and right at that moment, to help her out of this sticky situation, food was served before them. Realizing that she wasn’t comfortable with the question, Wu Wang changed the question, "Shen told me that you’re not just a remarkable surgeon but you’re also skilled with traditional medicine."

"Yeah... I’ve studied traditional medicine as well." This time, she decided to answer.

"Where did you learn it from?"

"I studied it from the Hui Guang Medince House." Wu Wang raised his brows in surprise.

"That’s the world’s top-class traditional medicine house," he remarked while she nodded with ease and kept eating without any hesitancy.
