Idiot In Love - 30 Chapter 144
During the lunch break, Yi Fei was nowhere to be seen in the school cafeteria.
Bai Jing Ting used the lunch break to plan on how he should tell Yi Fei about his feeling.
Bai Jing Ting hated the things he did in the past. Every time he remembered what he and Li Wei did behind Wu Chen’s back, he will be drowning in guilt.
But he could not give up on Yi Fei as well. He loves her and this time; Bai Jing Ting wanted to do things justly. Bai Jing Ting thought about a lot of things; of what he should do if he got rejected and what he should do if Yi Fei gives him a chance.
Deep down in his heart, Bai Jing Ting knew that most probably, he will be rejected by Yi Fei but still, he refused to let everything go without saying anything. He prefers it better if things got cleared right from the start so that he had nothing to regret later on.
When it’s time to get off work, Bai Jing Ting waited in the parking lot for Yi Fei to come. When he saw Yi Fei’s Goddess in the parking lot, he knew that Wu Chen would n’t be coming to pick her up. So, Bai Jing Ting planned to wait for Yi Fei in the parking lot and asked her to have dinner with him so that they could talk over during dinner.
A black Lexus came and parked a few cars away from Bai Jing Ting’s car. Bai Jing Ting did not pay any attention to the vehicle because Yi Fei and NaNa were walking towards him.
“Yo! Are you waiting for someone, Brother Ting? Why aren’t you going back yet?” Even though Bai Jing Ting had been cold to her this morning, Yi Fei didn’t take it to her heart.
NaNa wanted to knock Yi Fei’s head. How come she didn’t know that Bai Jing Ting might be waiting for her? She even had the gut to ask if Bai Jing Ting was waiting for someone. NaNa wanted to beat some sense into Yi Fei’s head.
Bai Jing Ting kept on looking at NaNa without responding to Yi Fei’s question. NaNa knew that Bai Jing Ting might want her to leave them alone, but she won’t do that; she needed to help her cousin brother to keep an eye on his fiancée.
NaNa wanted to stay, but then, her phone vibrated indicating that she received a new message.
“Come to me” The message was from Jun Liu. It was straightforward and it had an authoritative air to it. NaNa scanned around the area until she spotted a black Lexus parked in a few cars away.
Yi Fei’s eyes followed NaNa, and she could see the black Lexus too. “What are you waiting for? You should go; Ah Jun is waiting for you. You shouldn’t test his patience” Yi Fei raised her eyebrows knowingly.
NaNa was in a dilemma. She wanted to see Jun Liu, but at the same time, she wanted to know Bai Jing Ting waited for Yi Fei in the parking lot. It’s been quite some time now that she didn’t see something scandalous to talk about.
Her phone vibrated again, but this time it was not a text message but a call from Jun Liu. NaNa didn’t answer it, but she said goodbye to Yi Fei and walked quickly towards the black Lexus to see the impatient man inside.
When they were finally alone, Bai Jing Ting looked at Yi Fei. “Fei, I have something to tell you. Let’s talk about it during dinner”.
“Hurm… can’t you talk about it right now? Because I have a date with Chen Chen” Yi Fei kept on looking at her watch. Bai Jing Ting felt despair. So, his existence was not that important for Yi Fei after all.
“Just this time. I have something very important to tell you” Bai Jing Ting was hopeful.
Seeing how determined Bai Jing Ting is, Yi Fei thought about it. She could always meet up with Wu Chen later, so she agreed to Bai Jing Ting’s invitation to dinner. Yi Fei and Bai Jing Ting decided to meet up for dinner at Sky Restaurant, Yi Fei’s favorite restaurant for Fish Soup.
Yi Fei entered her car and immediately called Wu Chen to inform him about the change of plan. Wu Chen about to leave his office when his phone rang. When Yi Fei told him about the dinner invitation from Bai Jing Ting, he was upset. He didn’t want Yi Fei to go out with Bai Jing Ting, but he didn’t let it out.
He understands that for Yi Fei who thought of Bai Jing Ting as her brother, it would make her upset if someone is trying to prevent her from talking and eating with her brother.She said it herself that she only thought of Bai Jing Ting as a brother.
Wu Chen had an idea of what Bai Jing Ting wanted to do. He saw how Bai Jing Ting’s face changed this morning when he called Yi Fei as his fiancée. Bai Jing Ting invited Yi Fei out might have something to do with that.
But still, he was upset. Human changed. Feeling changed too. It was not as if he doesn’t trust Yi Fei but Li Wei claimed to love him back then too, but despite all the love declarations and kisses, she still chose to be with Bai Jing Ting.
“Brother Ting said, he had something important to talk about but don’t worry. I am going to grab something light and gobble it. After that, I’m going to find you and accompany you to eat. Is that okay?”
Of course, it was not okay for Wu Chen, but he couldn’t say it out loud now, could he?
There were a lot of things that Wu Chen wanted to tell Yi Fei, but the talk with Bai Jing Ting needed to be done. Sooner or later, Bai Jing Ting would finally confess his feeling towards Yi Fei. Seeing how Bai Jing Ting was so in love with Yi Fei, Wu Chen figured out that it would be better for Bai Jing Ting to sort his feeling earlier. Wu Chen hoped that Bai Jing Ting got rejected and moved on.
Wu Chen knew that it was cruel for him to have hope like that but after all that Bai Jing Ting did to him in the past, Wu Chen felt that having a sense of schadenfreude over Bai Jing Ting’s rejection was only reasonable.
It wasn’t only for Bai Jing Ting. Wu Chen also wanted to know Yi Fei’s feeling towards her so-called brother. Is it just brotherly love, a purely platonic love or could it be something more?
“Just remember that I love you so much, I could give up the whole world for you” Wu Chen was hoping that Yi Fei knew how much he loves her and he hoped that Yi Fei felt the same too.
Yi Fei told Wu Chen to wait for her in his office and hung up the phone.
Wu Chen couldn’t focus on his work. He kept on thinking of what would Bai Jing Ting tell Yi Fei and how would Yi Fei react to it. Yi Fei and Bai Jing Ting knew each other longer than he knew Yi Fei. There could be some feeling with time. Wu Chen was restless.
He kept wandering about. Wu Chen started to regret his decision to allow Yi Fei to have dinner with Bai Jing Ting. Wu Chen began to think that maybe it was a bad thing after all. He thought about the worst thing that could happen to him. Maybe Yi Fei will realize that she had a feeling about Bai Jing Ting and decided to go to him after he told her about his feeling. Or maybe, Yi Fei will have a second thought about their relationship.
In spite all that, Wu Chen tried to be positive. Wu Chen knew that he was gambling with his love life and he was nervous about it but he had faith in Yi Fei. She is his idiot after all.
But still, the unknown scared him.
As he kept thinking, Wu Chen did not keep the track of time. All of the workers including Liu Shi had gone back. He was the only one on the floor. The surrounding was eerily quiet, and he almost had a heart attack when MYM by Zhang Yixing blared out. Wu Chen answered almost immediately. He braced himself for the things that were about to come.
“Chen Chen, the security won’t let me pass. Come and get me” Yi Fei’s tone was sad.
Wu Chen took his suit and dashed towards the elevator. Yi Fei came to him. She freaking came to him.
When Wu Chen arrived at the ground floor, he went out of the elevator towards the lobby. He could hear that Yi Fei was whining to the security.
“I told you. Wu Chen is my fiance. See, this is the ring…”
“Nice try, miss. You are not the first one to claim to be the CEO’s fiancee…”
“But that’s the truth. Wait until Wu Chen comes to get me then only… Oh, Chen Chen, here! Here!” Yi Fei was busy explaining to the security when she saw Wu Chen from a distance. She waved to Wu Chen excitedly while looking at the guard with the look of ‘I told ya, I am the CEO’s fiancee.’
Wu Chen walked hurriedly towards Yi Fei, swept her off her feet and kissed her right there.
