Idiot In Love -111 Chapter 5: Lunch

Wu Chen's arrival in City L was known to all the employees in the Wu Hotel. Wu Chen did not want to announce his appearance because he did not want to alert the mole but thanks to his followers on the internet, his every move was announced in the Weibo.

It was not his intention to be famous but that's what you get when you are rich, single and handsome. He rarely updates his Weibo but his followers keep on increasing. Now, he has a total of few millions of followers.

Wu Chen started his work in Wu Hotel by visiting all departments. It was almost twelve in the afternoon when he finished visiting all departments and introducing himself to all the head departments. He felt that he needed to establish a good connection with every head of the departments in order to be able to communicate efficiently.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, he called his beloved cousin to have lunch together. They have not eaten lunch together for a very long time. So, Wu Chen called NaNa to invite her out for lunch. He was thinking that while having lunch, he wanted to convince her to stop being heartbroken because of one useless man and return home to her parents.

NaNa picked up her phone after a few beeps. Wu Chen invited her for lunch and she agreed. "Wait, wait, wait, wait… Can I bring my housemate along? I am supposed to go eat with her today but since you are buying me lunch, can she come along too? She likes free food too".

NaNa literally screamed right before he wanted to hang up the call. Wu Chen did not really want other people to join their lunch because it will be hard for him to pursue the topic of asking his cousin to go home but he agreed anyway.

When it's time, Wu Chen went to the Faith Middle School to pick up NaNa for lunch. He saw that NaNa came alone so he did not ask about her housemate. They went to the restaurant recommended by NaNa to eat.

Since City L is just a small city, there was not a high-cla.s.s restaurant around. Eating at the restaurant at the Wu Hotel was considered high cla.s.s enough. Wu Chen did ask NaNa to eat lunch at the hotel but NaNa insisted that she was going to bring him to somewhere better and cheap.

Money is never a problem with Wu Chen; he was never picky about what he eats as long as the food is clean. "I thought your housemate is coming along. I guess she's busy", trying to start the conversation, Wu Chen used NaNa's housemate as a starter.

"I wanted to ask her to come with me but before I even get the chance to ask her, I saw that she was nagging the student so I guess she must be in bad mood. I got scared, so I did not want to take the risk of asking her. She's very scary when she's angry". Wu Chen could not help but wonder how that housemate would look like. He pictured that the housemate must be quite old since she is very stern and likes to nag at students.

While having their lunch, Wu Chen did persuade NaNa to quit her job and go back to her parents. Since money was not a problem for the Wu and Chong family, if she ever feels the need to do something, she could always open a shop or go helping her parents at their firm and it will be alright for her. She could live. Even if she does not work for the rest of her life, her future children could still live luxuriously. That's how rich they are.

To his surprise, NaNa actually declined his idea. "I love it here. My mind becomes peaceful; my heart is the same too. I learned a lot". NaNa told him a lot of things she liked about City L; about her everyday life in City L, and how she already moved on from her ex-fiancé after reading the poetry book that her housemate lent her. In a sense, her housemate was the one who brought her out of her broken heart and she was thankful for that.

Wu Chen did not interrupt her. He only nodded and asked questions occasionally. He felt as if NaNa had matured a lot after she came to City L. There are also the matters with her housemate. After listening to NaNa's story, his impression of this housemate improved a little bit.

"Come, let me send you back", Wu Chen wanted to send NaNa back to her apartment but NaNa refused because her housemate will pick her up since they were going to the library anyway. Wu Chen urged NaNa to get her own car because he felt that she was relying too much on her housemate.

Back in City K, since NaNa's parents doted on her too much, their family driver will always drive her around. This made her feel that she did not need to have a driving license. Now that she was away from home, Wu Chen thought that it would be better for her to get her driving license as soon as possible.

A red Senova D50 stopped right outside the restaurant. The window rolled down and a girl with a sweet face popped out from the window. NaNa waved her hands towards the girl. Wu Chen thought that the girl seemed familiar.

He tried to recall things about the girl and suddenly, he remembered. It was the shorty he met yesterday. Shorty was quite memorable for him. He thought due to the humidity in City L, most of the girls he saw won't keep fringe, but the shorty he met yesterday smiled while she pushed her fringe back out of her eyes.

"Yi Fei is here. I am going to introduce you to her later, but don't try anything funny. She won't like you anyway. Bye..." NaNa picked up her handbag and walked out of the restaurant. Wu Chen saw her entering the car. From inside the vehicle, NaNa waved to him, so he waved back. As for shorty, she gave him thumbs up before she raised the car window.

Thumbs up? Why thumbs up?
