Chapter 23: Lunch Date

Li Xiu Ying will meet Zhang Wei at the restaurant she texted. He also said not to eat anything heavy on breakfast as he planned to order a lot of food during their lunch date. 

When she arrived at the restaurant she gave the name of Zhang Wei and was directed to a private room. Once she entered, she saw the man looking gorgeous as usual sitting at the center table. She can't help but stare at the man longer than intended. 

"Am I that too handsome?" Zhang Wei asked faking a cough to break her stare on him. 

"What?" Li Xiu Ying blushed while asking him "Of course, not, my mind has been occupied with a lot of things lately" she denied. 

"Let's eat" he smiled wickedly at her pulling the chair in front of him so she could sit down. She replied with a soft thank you. 

"So, what do you want to talk abo..?" Li Xiu Ying asked but was cut off by Zhang Wei when he said "Later, let's eat first". 

Li Xiu Ying was shocked by the numerous dishes served to them. 

"These are a lot," she thought and so she thought but she spoke out loud. 

"It's okay, you're getting thinner since the day I met you," said Zhang Wei who heard her "I like my woman with meat" he added winking at her. 

She glared at him and said, "Well, that's good because I don't want to be your woman". 

"So you say" Zhang Wei teased her with a wink.

After they ate, Zhang Wei ordered a tea. While waiting for it to be served he noticed that Li Xiu Ying kept looking at her phone and watch as if she was in a hurry to leave him. 

She was about to speak when the waiter came in with their teas.

"So, what do you want to discuss?" she asked as soon as the waiter left the private room. 

"Us, I want to discuss our relationship" he replied while sipping his tea. 

 "But we don't have one," she said exasperated at his continuous mention of his so-called "relationship". 

"For me, we started our relationship the moment you saved me" Zhang Wei looked dazed as he reminisced about that day.

"But, it's my duty as a nurse to help people who badly need one" she explained "It's just that I came across you"

"I know you're a nurse and bound by your duty," Zhang Wei said "But you did something to me that you have to take responsibility for this." he insisted. 

"What did I do to you?" she asked in confusion "What do I need to take responsibility for?" 

"I don't know" he replied equally confused "All I know is that I wanted to see you all the time, I want to hear your soothing voice and I love your kisses" 

He earned a glare from Li Xiu Ying on his last statement. 

" I don't know what happened to you or what responsibility I need to take care of," she replied while she enunciated each word as she was getting mad already "But, all I want is to stop this nonsense" 

"This is not nonsense, we are talking about US" Zhang Wei retorted looking offended by what she said "Why would you not want to have a relationship with me? Did you know how many girls would love to be at your place? he added looking smug

"No, I don't have any idea and I don't care" she replied looking holding herself to explode with this man "If you want you can go to those girls and leave me alone". 

"I just said, I don't want them" Zhang Wei shouted back "We will date whether you like it or not" he said with finality. 

"I can't date you" Li Xiu Ying said getting scared of Zhang Wei because he shouted "I'm too busy to do that, it's not my priority"
