Chapter 20: Revelation
Inside the car, Wu Chen was waiting patiently for his cousin to come. As the photographer for the event, NaNa had been running here and there since the moment the event started. He was calm and collected until NaNa entered the car.
NaNa had a suspicious smile when she entered the car. She apologized to Wu Chen for coming late, but she did not have a speck of remorseful look on her face. "He he he…" She muttered devilishly while patting the camera on her hands.
NaNa kept on looking at Wu Chen while at the same time, she switched on the camera. She browsed through all the pictures taken and she was making the 'he he he' sound suspicious.
Wu Chen was intrigued, but he did not try to ask any questions. He only glanced at NaNa silently while trying to peek at the screen display of the camera.
As if she knew that her cousin brother was trying to peek at the pictures, she moved the camera to her side, preventing Wu Chen from looking at the screen display.
"Why are you so suspicious? Did you snap the picture of something you shouldn't have?" Unable to contain his curiosity anymore, Wu Chen asked NaNa.
"I have something better. You see, just now, while I was taking pictures from the outside of the ballroom. I saw something exciting."
NaNa's face was beaming with enthusiasm to tell the story to Wu Chen. Sensing that her cousin did not interrupt her, she became more enthusiastic about continuing her narration.
"Then, I saw Brother Ting outside. He was standing at the entrance while looking at Yi Fei lovingly. It was like the look of the bridegroom when he was looking at his bride. I always see that kind of picture on the bridal website."
Still no reaction from Wu Chen.
"I mean, I have a feeling that Brother Ting might be interested in Yi Fei the first time I came to City L last year. But I never thought that it could be real" Gossiper NaNa had taken over the conversation.
"I happened to be standing nearby so I could snap this historical picture. I have proof here. Let me show you,"
NaNa was fiddling with the camera to find the proof that she had mentioned to Wu Chen. Her finger browsed all the pictures quickly.
"No need to show me. I'm not interested" Without even looking at NaNa, Wu Chen declined her offer to see the picture.
"But Yi Fei is very ignorant of Brother Ting's feeling ar… What a waste" Ignoring Wu Chen, NaNa was still browsing the pictures.
"What do you mean? They are not a couple?" Wu Chen, who said that he wasn't interested suddenly perked up at the mention of the word ignorant.
"I'm not sure whether Yi Fei is not interested in Brother Ting or she simply doesn't know that Brother Ting is interested in her. But it is very obvious ar… Brother Ting calls the other teachers formally. He even called me Miss NaNa. Yi Fei is the only person he called by her nickname. As if he wants to tell the whole world that they are familiar with each other and" NaNa was getting frustrated as she narrated.
Wu Chen nodded his head silently. He also thought of the same thing. From the way Bai Jing Ting was looking at the shorty, or the way he treated her with care, it was easy to see that the shorty was someone precious to Bai Jing Ting.
"So they are not boyfriend and girlfriend?" As if trying to get confirmation, Wu Chen asked again.
NaNa looked at him with annoyance on her face. She already mentioned that Yi Fei did not know that Brother Ting was interested in her, but her cousin brother kept on asking a rhetorical question. She was trying to focus on finding the picture, but her cousin brother kept on asking, so she was distracted.
"Yes ar… Yi Fei is single. I'm sure she only loves Zhang Yixing in this life of hers. Or Roronoa Zoro. Or Trafalgar Law. I don't know, don't ask me. I'm not Yi Fei," NaNa answered Wu Chen's question sarcastically.
A happy feeling bloomed in Wu Chen's heart. He felt slightly delighted when he knew that the shorty and Bai Jing Ting were not a couple.
"Why though? Bai Jing Ting is handsome and rich. Shouldn't all you ladies like that kind of guy?" NaNa was speechless. Just when she thought that her brother had done asking, suddenly he asked for more.
"Not everyone falls in love with money. Yi Fei told me that Brother Ting is like a brother to her. Maybe that's why" Wu Chen nodded his head to agree with NaNa.
Growing up with a lot of money, Wu Chen could never understand the struggling of some people who have less money. He did not understand why people would choose money over love. He was seriously pondering over the issues with money and romance with a serious look.
NaNa had stopped fiddling because she had found the one. She zoomed into the picture to get a more unobstructed view of Bai Jing Ting's expression in the picture when she noticed something.
Spontaneously, she looked at Wu Chen. She realized that Wu Chen's temper seemed to improve a little bit compared to when she first entered his car. A sudden realization came to her mind.
"Brother, why are you interested in Brother Ting and Yi Fei's affair? Usually, you don't care about people. Why are you asking a lot of questions about them now?" NaNa was smiling suspiciously. She needed to confirm something.
Jolted out from his thinking, Wu Chen was not in a hurry to respond to her. "Just because. I haven't seen Bai Jing Ting for a long time. I'm just curious about him." Wu Chen told a lie.
"Oh, really? Is it really because of Brother Ting? Or..." NaNa dragged the R sound of the 'or.'
"Or what? What are you thinking?" Wu Chen pretended not to know.
"Or… Are you interested in Yi Fei as well? You can tell me. I won't tell her." Yi Fei showed a bright smile, enough to blind any man in the 5KM radius.
"None of your business. Stop inquiring." Wu Chen could see that his cousin was up for something not good.
NaNa did not push his cousin further. She knew her cousin brother was very firm and never gave a half-hearted answer. He was the kind of guy who would say 'yes' or 'no' clearly. Usually, Wu Chen would only use the 'none of your business' if he did not want her to know something she shouldn't have.
NaNa leaned back to her seat. A satisfied and knowing smile was plastered on her face. Even though Wu Chen did not answer her clearly, she seemed to know. Because she saw the picture.
At the far corner of the picture, inside the Wu Hotel Restaurant, a man sitting near the window had a heartbroken expression while looking at Bai Jing Ting and Yi Fei - The man was Wu Chen.
