Wu Qing looked at Li Zi Yun from top to bottom. Though her dressing was similar to what she wore usually, still it looked different. The clothes Li Zi Yun was wearing today was all branded.
"Li Zi Yun come with me. I want to have a word with you in private" Wu Qing was holding Li Zi Yun's wrist and was ready to drag her out but Wang Yu did not let him. He held Wu Qing's arm stopping him from moving.
"You can talk to her in front of me"
Wu Qing scoffed at Wang Yu, "You have known her only for a month but I known her all her life and not everything can be said in front of you" saying that he dragged Li Zi Yun aside. Li Zi Yun was looking at both of them innocently.
When they were aside Wu Qing asked Li Zi Yun, "How is he treating you nowadays?"
"I know you have your doubts about him but you don't know how he treats me"
"And how is that?"
"With utmost care" last night's events had greatly changed the way how Li Zi Yun saw Wang Yu.
Wu Qing was not sure if he heard the right words. He had never known Wang Yu was the caring type, "Are you sure? If he does anything to you tell me right away, Brother will not let it go"
"Brother Wu trust me. Even last night CEO was so gentle and caring and…"
Wang Yu was eavesdropping their conversation from the side. When Wang Yu heard Li Zi Yun talking about last night, he immediately intervened. This was the third time he was closing her mouth today.
"What!!! Gentle??? What is she talking about?" Wu Qing looked at Wang Yu.
"Nothing… Just about me being good and gentle to her… And she meant it in a good way"
Wu Qing looked at Wang Yu suspiciously, "What did you do last night? Wait so you were with Li Zi Yun last night?"
"What are you thinking? Why would she be with me?"
Wang Yu hurriedly dragged Li Zi Yun and walked in the front without waiting for Wu Qing. Wang Yu had never been in a situation where he had to cover up what he did. None of his ex girlfriends were related to any of his friends so his personal life was always private. He felt awkward talking about this in front of others.
Wu Qing looked at Wang Yu. He noticed at a hickey on his neck. Li Zi Yun was too passionate last night and she continuously sucking and kissing his neck. Was Wang Yu lying to him? When he looked at both of them, Li Zi Yun and Wang Yu did not seem intimate nor was Li Zi Yun shy around Wang Yu. So it was difficult for him to come to a conclusion.
Three of them reached the restaurant. Li Zi Yun had wanted to come out only because she had been seated at the same place from the morning and had absolutely no interest in eating. She had tried to get up several times, but Wang Yu hadn't allowed her. She initially said yes to Wu Qing so that she can come out to get some fresh air but she did not expect Wang Yu also to follow her. Li Zi Yun was walking between Wang Yu and Wu Qing.
Li Zi Yun looked at Wang Yu and said, "Can you come a bit closer?"
"Hmm?"
"You smell amazing"
Wang Yu was walking quietly hoping Li Zi Yun wouldn't speak but no. Wang Yu was trying hard to keep a straight face. Wu Qing had a strange reaction in his face and Li Zi Yun walked as if she had said nothing.
When Li Zi Yun sat in the table, Wang Yu sat next to her and Wu Qing sat opposite to them.
Before the food that they ordered arrived at the table, Wu Qing started speaking, "Zi Yun, I would like you to go on a blind date. I wanted to ask you before arranging it"
Li Zi Yun sat quietly and thought for some time. She was already twenty-five and she still had not gone on a date with anybody. All these years her entire concentration was on making a stable life for herself and she did not have time for anything else. It was time she started thinking about dating.
Wang Yu was too quick to answer to Wu Qing, "She doesn't have time for that. Did you forget she is my secretary?"
Li Zi Yun was feeling too confident today, "No I have loads of free time now. Brother Wu I will thank you in advance"
But Wang Yu interrupted again, "Don't forget that you have to work even in the weekends"
"I am too a human being. I want to enjoy my life and am already too old for this. I don't want to die as an old maiden"
"Is this why you wanted to take her out for lunch?" Wang Yu was staring at Wu Qing.
Their conversation stopped only when the food arrived. Li Zi Yun hadn't eaten anything from the before day afternoon. She was feeling a bit hungry but she did not have the appetite to even taste the food. Li Zi Yun was playing with her food and she did not take a single bite. She was thinking about the idea of going on a blind date.
Li Zi Yun asked Wu Qing, "Brother Wu, have you chosen anybody for blind date?"
Wang Yu had cut a piece of steak and was about to eat it. When he heard Li Zi Yun ask this question, he force-fed the steak into her mouth.
"Stop talking and eat, we have work to do"
Wu Qing shook his head. Something was definitely wrong with both Wang Yu and Li Zi Yun. Wang Yu was on his toes today; Li Zi Yun was too relaxed, and she had completely let down her guard. He was happy that Li Zi Yun was relaxed but he felt something was odd in both their behaviors.
Li Zi Yun ate the food unwillingly and she was forcing it down her throat.
Li Zi Yun somehow emptied her plate. She enjoyed eating but today she felt like it was torture. The food was delicious but it was like chewing pebbles for her. She excused herself and left for the restroom since she felt nauseous.
The moment Li Zi Yun left her seat, Wu Qing said to Wang Yu, "Don't you dare touch her"
Wang Yu replied coolly, "I did not touch her. You can ask her yourself"
"Then what is it on your neck?"
"Do you think I can force someone to give me a hickey?"
"So Li Zi Yun was with you last night?"
"Stop making wild guesses. Neither is she nor I a kid. So don't question about my private life"
"Tell this to me when you cancel your engagement with Huang Nian. I don't mind you playing around with other woman, but don't even think about Li Zi Yun in that way"
Li Zi Yun was feeling uncomfortable and queasy. She puked everything she ate just now. She vomited everything including the water she drank. She was in so much pain; her chest, throat and stomach were hurting like hell; her eyes were red and watery. After she got everything out of her system, she was feeling a little better but still she felt awful. Li Zi Yun somehow managed to come out of there.
Li Zi Yun was feeling utterly tired and dehydrated. She slowly walked towards Wang Yu and Wu Qing. Wu Qing saw Li Zi Yun approaching them. She looked pale, weak and completely drained of energy. Li Zi Yun's posture looked like she was about to fall down any moment.
"Zi Yun… "
Wang Yu looked at the direction Wu Qing was calling. He rushed towards Li Zi Yun and held her. Li Zi Yun's eyes were teary and her face was drained of blood.
"Can you walk?"
Li Zi Yun nodded her head and leaned against Wang Yu.
Wu Qing asked Wang Yu, "What's wrong with her? She was fine till now"
"Let's go to the car first" Wang Yu was holding Li Zi Yun's entire weight even though she was standing. They settled the bill and left quickly.
Wu Qing was holding a bottle of water to Li Zi Yun's mouth but Wang Yu stopped him, "So you know what's wrong with her?" Wu Qing asked him.
Li Zi Yun hadn't spoken a word since she came out so he called the woman bodyguard assigned for Li Zi Yun. She explained to him what happened. Wang Yu immediately called the doctor and told him what happened. The doctor told him these were the normal symptoms of drug overdose and he can only say anything after the test results arrive; and he did not want to make any other assumptions on his own.
Li Zi Yun was hyperactive in the morning and now she was very quiet. Li Zi Yun was sitting next to Wang Yu in the back seat and she was leaning against his chest. She sat in the same position how Wang Yu placed her and did not move an inch.
Wu Qing asked him, "What happened to her? If you don't give me an explanation I will…"
"Huang Nian gave her an overdose of drugs"
"Did she do that because of you?"
Wang Yu shook his head 'No', "She thought she was drugging me. That is why Li Zi Yun was with me last night"
"Then did you…?" Wu Qing was pointing at Li Zi Yun and Wang Yu in doubt.
"Do you think I have no self control and would take advantage of a weak girl who was not in her senses?"
"Let me take her to my house. My mother and Li Shu can take care of her" Wu Qing looked at Li Zi Yun who was leaning against Wang Yu. She looked so weak.
"She is like this because of my fault. I will take her to my house. You need not worry about her"
"Why did you have to make her work in this condition?"
"Don't poke your nose into other people's business"
Wu Qing scoffed at him, "What? Other people" Wang Yu did not answer.
Wu Qing was in deep thought and after a minute, he asked Wang Yu, "With what drug did Huang Nian try to drug you?"
Wang Yu stared at Wu Qing, 'Why are you asking me even though you know the answer?'
'Why is Wu Qing asking too many questions today!' Wang Yu saw that Li Zi Yun was lying quietly in his chest but her face looked as if she was uncomfortable. Li Zi Yun's body was hot compared to his.
Wang Yu spoke quietly in Li Zi Yun's ears, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to go home?"
"What are you whispering to her?"
"I told you stop poking your nose in other people's business"
Li Zi Yun couldn't stay quiet any longer, "Why are both of you talking so much? Stay quiet for some time"
Wang Yu placed his finger on his lips and signaled to Wu Qing to stay quiet.
Wu Qing whispered to Wang Yu, "I know you have work to do. I will take her home."
Wang Yu was staring at Wu Qing and he signaled him to be quiet. He looked at Li Zi Yun who was lying down quietly with her eyes closed. Wang Yu had noticed that a car was following his car for some time now, but he couldn't find them after some time. So he was not sure if they were really following him or he was being paranoid.
