Chapter 282 - Tired Of Pitiful Looks

Wu Wang brought Yang Ziyi to the Crystal Cuisine which was on the twenty-fifth floor of a seven-star hotel. Seeing the ambiance of this sophisticated restaurant, she understood the reason behind its name. The entire restaurant was adorned with huge crystal chandeliers and crystal flower triple candle holders.

Crystal figurines, dim lights, it was a perfect place for a romantic dinner. Yang Ziyi thought whoever was the owner of this place must have been a huge fan of crystals. It was like the restaurant was designed with a crystal theme. Nonetheless, she loved everything about this place including the staff which was humbly showing them to their table.

Live piano performance was going on making the atmosphere even more calming and soothing.

Their table was in a secluded corner with glass walls giving them access to look over the entire night sky of the city. Yang Ziyi was fascinated by the view which was quite weird for Wu Wang since he knew how much she traveled around the world.

"This is such a beautiful place," sticking her face close to the glass wall like a child, she remarked. Then she shifted her gaze towards Wu Wang and said, "This is amazing. Thanks for showing me that this city is not that bad."

Wu Wang looked at her inquisitively as he replied, "This city is more than just this view. Try getting out of the hospital to explore, you’ll see for yourself."

"But I don’t like going around all on my own. It’s pretty boring." Thinking of something, she looked at him eagerly as she asked, "How about you show me around? You grew up here. No one knows this place better than you."

"I’m not your city guide. I have better stuff to do." Wu Wang shirked her off plainly and before she could argue, the waitress came to take their order. "What do you want to eat?" He asked Yang Ziyi for her opinion.

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "I’m not familiar with this place. Why don’t you just order whatever you think is their best dish." Wu Wang nodded and gave the order without even looking through the menu.

"You seem like a regular here," Yang Ziyi tried to make small conversation but realized that Wu Wang’s attention was on something else or rather someone else. She tilted her head to follow his gaze to see a beautiful tall lady making her scowl as she thought, ’What? Is he still up to his playboy habits? Tsk... He really is impossible.’

While she was lost in her own thoughts, Wu Wang had already gotten up from his seat to walk towards that tall lady.

"Lili!" He called out coming close to the tall woman.

"Wang? Wow! What a pleasant surprise!" Wu Wang frowned a bit as she hugged him with delight.

"I should be the one saying it’s a pleasant surprise. I thought you’d locked yourself at home. I really didn’t expect Ms. Jun Li Na to be here mingling with her friends." Wu Wang was rather shocked since the condition that Xu Mey had described made it sure to him that it’ll take years for Jun Li Na to come over.

"Why? Is it a bad thing that I’m trying to make an effort here? Also, I have plenty of things to take care of since I’m the only daughter of my family. Too much responsibilities to handle." Jun Li Na replied tenaciously.

Wu Wang was perplexed whether she was faking the smile on her face or was she really this happy. "Are you okay, Lili?" He couldn’t help but ask.

Jun Li Na sighed heavily as she slung her arm over his shoulder saying, "Don’t ask that question. I’m tired of people giving me pitiful looks. At least, you shouldn’t be one of them. Also, I really am this happy. Wang, I feel like some huge burden has been lifted off of my shoulders. Before I had to always be mindful with my actions and words but now... Now, I’m so free that I don’t give a damn about what others think."

Wu Wang gazed into her eyes for a second longer before he smiled. "It’s good to see you happy and healthy. I’m really glad that you’re finally back to what you’re good at."

"What am I good at?" Jun Li Na inquired with interest.

"Smiling like a lunatic..." Wu Wang answered ruffling her hair making her shriek.

She glared hatefully at him but Wu Wang didn’t care at all. Although his first interaction with Jun Li Na was because of Xu Mey, he was still quite close to her. And the biggest factor between their close friendship was Jun Li Na’s nightclub. Wu Wang often went there alone and that’s how he was very familiar with Jun Li Na’s nature.

Seeing her smiling like her old self, he was glad that she wasn’t just saying it. She was really feeling happy and free.
