Chapter 135: Future

NaNa looked at Jun Liu in a daze. The moment she woke up, she was greeted by Jun Liu's touching confession. She was not used to this kind of Jun Liu.

"Ah Jun, are you okay? Why are you acting like a sappy moonstruck teenager?" NaNa attempted to sit straight then she saw Jun Liu's jacket covering her legs. She was touched.

So the cold guy does know how to treat a lady.

Jun Liu did not dwell in the fantasy world of 'forever' with NaNa. Seeing that it was half an hour after five, Jun Liu told NaNa that they were going to get their dinner.

Jun Liu did not expect that the issue in his company would take a few hours to be resolved. It would take around at least two hours, but a perfectly normal guy would get distracted when his girlfriend is sitting near him. All that Jun Liu could ever think of is kissing NaNa.

Since this was their first date, Jun Liu asked NaNa to choose a place to have their dinner. Jun Liu is fine with any place because he is not a picky eater, but he was not sure about NaNa. Since NaNa lives in a privileged environment, Jun Liu assumed that she has a particular preference when it comes to food.

Contrary to what he believes, Jun Liu did not expect that NaNa will choose to go to a fast food restaurant. Jun Liu assumed that NaNa might want to go to a high-class restaurant with a luxurious interior, but she didn't. Jun Liu was intrigued.

The fast-food restaurant that NaNa chose was McDonald's. After living with Yi Fei for a year and a half, NaNa grew accustomed to Yi Fei's habit of eating a double cheeseburger and fries. Yi Fei even told her the hack to save money when ordering from McDonald's.

It was ten minutes before six when both of them reached the restaurant. NaNa picked a table near the window, which is also one of the habits she picked up while hanging out with Yi Fei. NaNa sat down and waited. Jun Liu wanted to go and order for them, but NaNa asked him to sit down first, but he didn't comply.

"What do you want? I'll go get it for you" Jun Liu was not pretending to be a gentleman or what but this is what he usually did when he goes out with his sister and Ying Yue.

"Ah Jun, you don't like saving money?" NaNa asked an offhanded question.

Jun Liu did not know how to reply to that random question. He sat down.

"At six, we'll have the McValue dinner. The price will go down quite a lot. We need to wait for that. Hehe, YI Fei taught me this" NaNa was very proud of herself for knowing such things. She even raised her brows a few times.

Jun Liu was dumbfounded. He felt as if NaNa is becoming more and more like Yi Fei. Jun Liu doesn't have any problem with that. It's just that, Jun Liu didn't know if he could tolerate such weirdness and randomness if it's directed towards him.

He didn't care about Yi Fei being weird because Wu Chen was the one who will deal with her but NaNa; he needed to think of a strategy to not let her become as odd as Yi Fei.

Jun Liu sat in silence, waiting for another minute so that they could order their food. Yi Fei's phone rang out of the blue.

"Hello, Brother. I'm outside…Eating dinner… With Ah Jun… No, no, no, no. We did nothing…" NaNa had an expression like she had been wronged before she handed over her phone to Jun Liu. "My brother wants to talk to you".

Jun Liu took the phone from NaNa. He didn't talk much, just a few 'mm' and 'okay' before he returned the phone to the owner.

"Chen said that I needed to take you home before 9" The statement was simple. Jun Liu told NaNa that he must send her back before 9.

NaNa nodded in understanding, but inside her heart, she was cursing Wu Chen. She never said anything when Wu Chen send Yi Fei back home after 10, and now, he told Jun Liu to bring her back before 9. The curfew is so unfair that it sounds ridiculous.

But of course, she couldn't do anything about it. Wu Chen is her brother after all. If they did not comply, who knew what he would do to her and Jun Liu.

NaNa told Jun Liu of the things she wanted, and Jun Liu went to order their food, but when he returned to their table, a man sat in front of NaNa. They seemed to be talking, but NaNa looked uncomfortable.

Jun Liu approached the table and put the tray of food in front of NaNa. NaNa shot him a grateful look. The man who sat in front of NaNa looked at Jun Liu casually without the intention of moving out from the seat. NaNa hurried over to the next seat, and Jun Liu took NaNa's former seat.

"Oh, who is this?" The man asked a question to NaNa, but his eyes were busy scanning Jun Liu who was now in front of him.

"This is my boyfriend, Jun Liu" NaNa answered. NaNa turned to Jun Liu and introduced the other guy to him. "This is my friend from university, Zi Yi".

NaNa didn't tell Jun Liu more than that, but Jun Liu knew. NaNa was engaged to a man named Zi Yi in the past. So the Zi Yi in front of him most probably the same Zi Yi as NaNa's ex-fiance.

"So, you can eat fast food now?" There was a trace of bitterness in Zi Yi's voice.

"Yes, I love the double cheeseburger and the fries too" NaNa didn't look at Zi Yi as she was busy pouring her fries into the tray.

While NaNa was looking at her fries like it is the most beautiful thing in the world, Jun Liu and Zi Yi had a staring contest. From Jun Liu's investigation, Zi Yi was the one who broke the engagement, and the brokenhearted NaNa ran to City L to mend her broken heart.

By right, NaNa should be the one who had the right to feel bitter upon seeing her ex-fiance in City K, but now the situation was reversed. What a small world. Out of the places in City K, the ex-fiancé had to eat fast food in the same restaurant too.

"Last time, I still remember how you said you were on a diet every time someone mentioned fast food" The man, Zi Yi, continued the saga of 'not eating fast food' to NaNa.

Jun Liu could not understand the man in front of him; like why would he hung out at their table and continued talking about things from the past. After some time, NaNa looked at the man in front of her. She wanted to say something, but Jun Liu shoved the fries to her tray.

"People changed with time. Do not dwell in the past" For the first time since he arrived at the table, Jun Liu spoke. Zi Yi looked at him with a poker face, as if he was trying hard to think of a comeback to what Jun Liu had said.

"Ah Yi, I'm done. Oh, who is this?" A plain woman came to their table with a takeaway food with her. NaNa knew who the lady is. Zi Yi's girlfriend – he broke up the engagement because he wanted to pursue her. So, he was successful in pursuing the girl.

Zi Yi did not introduce them to the girl. He excused himself and walked away from the table. NaNa didn't know this, but Jun Liu saw that Zi Yi glanced at NaNa before he went out of the fast food restaurant. Zi Yi had an unreadable expression on his face. Maybe it was guilt or regret, but Jun Liu did not care. He had his chance with NaNa, and he left her for someone else.

"Eat your food" Jun Liu shoved most of the food towards NaNa. NaNa's eyes shined when she looked at all the food. Both of them were eating silently when NaNa started talking.

"Ah Jun, you see… Zi Yi is my ex-fiancé" She made it sound like it was not a big deal. She had no intention of hiding it from Jun Liu but having to introduce a former fiancé to the current lover doesn't sit well with NaNa.

"I know" Jun Liu's answer was short. NaNa didn't know how to continue the conversation.

"You could tell me anything. I'm not going to judge you for what happened in the past. We are living in the present. The future is ours" Jun Liu stopped eating and looked at NaNa. NaNa felt warm engulfed her heart.

Jun Liu sent NaNa back home before nine as Wu Chen told him to. Jun Liu parked his car in front of NaNa's house.

NaNa was about to go out of the car, but Jun Liu grabbed her hand, preventing her from doing so.

"What is it? Can't bear to let me go?" NaNa teased him.

"You haven't responded to my confession in the office" For some reason; Jun Liu wanted to know whether NaNa likes him or loves him.

NaNa smiled and looked at Jun Liu.

"Brace yourself. I plan on bugging you every single day for the foreseeable future. Love you" NaNa leaned over and kissed Jun Liu's cheek.

"Good night, laters baby."

And she went out of the car, leaving the stunned Jun Liu inside the vehicle.
