BXBX NOVEL Chapter 776 Underestimating His Charm
Zu Wan was caught off guard when Titania suddenly pushed him. It looked like she sobered up a little.
He immediately pulled the comforter to cover her body. "I\'m sorry. I shouldn\'t have done this. You are drunk."
Zu Wan got up from bed after apologizing to Titania. She didn\'t say a word. She remained on the bed, clutching the comforter. She was too confused to speak up.
When Zu Wan left the room, Titania covered her face using both hands. She didn\'t know whether she regretted it or not.
She just slumped her body on the bed as she closed her eyes. Her mind was in shambles. She didn\'t know if she could do it, hurting Zu Wan.
Every passing day, she felt like she was falling for him. She was supposed to hate him. But her heart was telling her otherwise.
"Sigh. I can\'t understand myself anymore." She passed out after saying that.
Meanwhile, Zu Wan went to his room. Just like Titania, he was having a hard time. His heart and mind were debating.
He should stop thinking that Titania was Eva. He knew that they were different people. They had the same face but he could feel it, Titania was not Eva.
But one thing was bothering him. How did Titania know what happened with Eva? She said some things about the past. Did she have a connection with Eva?
Zu Wan wanted to know the truth. He decided to confront Titania tomorrow. For now, it would be awkward to talk to her. Besides, she was under the influence of alcohol.
"I should know the truth. There is something more to this." Zu Wan mumbled.

Meanwhile, in a certain restaurant in the heart of the City of Empire, Brandon and Yuri were having their dinner. The two decided to eat their dinner first before hanging out in a club.
Fortunately, tomorrow would be Yuri\'s day off. She could drink tonight and go home late. She has been through a lot lately. She just wanted to unwind.
"Yuri, are you staying here for good?" Brandon asked her as he continued slicing the steak for Yuri.
Yuri propped her hand underneath her chin as she watched Brandon.
\'I didn\'t know that this spoiled and naughty heir of the Cullens Family has this thoughtful side as well.\' Yuri smiled inwardly.
Brandon furrowed his brows when Yuri didn\'t respond to him.
"Hello, Dr. Yuri Chou… are you here with me? Am I just talking to the air?" Brandon stopped slicing the steak and waved his hand in front of Yuri.
Yuri just let out a soft giggle. "I\'m sorry about that, Mr. Cullens. I am just having fun watching you slice those meats. You have a unique talent here," Yuri mumbled with a teasing smile on her face.
Brandon could only sigh helplessly. "I don\'t think that is a compliment. Did I really leave bad impressions on you?"
Another soft giggle escaped Yuri\'s mouth. "Hey, don\'t be upset. Don\'t worry. You can slowly change those bad impressions that I got from you."
Brandon pouted his lips in a charming manner. He felt so embarrassed for what he had done in the past.
"That\'s why I invited you here… I want to make it up to you, hoping you will forget my arrogant and stubborn behavior before."
Yuri nodded her head before taking a sip of her fruit juice.
"Hmm! You should eat first before drinking your juice." Brandon said, snatching the straw from her.
"You are very strict, Mr. Cullens. Can\'t I enjoy my drinks?"
Brandon raised his forefinger, waving it from left to right. "No! You should eat first. Here, I already sliced the beefsteak into tiny pieces. C\'mon, let\'s eat."
Brandon put the sliced meat on her plate, urging Yuri to have her fill.
"I haven\'t answered your question right?" Yuri glanced at Brandon before taking a bite.
"Yes, you didn\'t. You ignored me." Brandon pretended to be upset.
Yuri couldn\'t stop herself from smiling whenever Brandon would act childishly.
"Alright. I decided to stay here for good. I will help my family in managing our hospitals. Besides, I already finished my studies abroad."
"Hmm, you are very dedicated to your studies. Damn! I hate studying! I can\'t imagine myself studying for 10 years just to become a doctor. How did you survive that?" Brandon felt amused by Yuri\'s achievement.
"Determination... Perseverance… and passion," Yuri simply said.
"How about you, Mr. Cullens? Are you happy with your chosen career?" This time it was Yuri who asked Brandon about himself.
Brandon paused for a moment, his hand playing with his glass of wine. That direct question caught him by surprise. Now, he was trying to reflect on himself.
After a few seconds, the corner of his lips tugged upward. He looked at her with a warm smile on his face.
"I\'ve been so happy for the past month… because of one girl, but not because of my career," Brandon admitted to Yuri. He thought of the moment when he became close to Alveena.
"Ahem, it seems that you finally met someone. I can tell that you are serious about her. Now, I feel relieved. It only means you will no longer force me to date you again."
Brandon burst out laughing. "Hey, don\'t give me that kind of smile. Don\'t rejoice yet. I got rejected by that woman."
"Pfft! What?! Is that true?" Yuri pursed her lips, fighting the urge to laugh at him.
Brandon put on a pitiful face before nodding his head.
"I\'m sorry to hear that. I guess you really don\'t know how to woo a woman." Yuri giggled while teasing Brandon. She knew how heartbreaking it was for someone but she just wanted to lighten the mood.
Brandon arched his eyebrow while smirking at her cheekily. "Dr. Chou, it seems that you are underestimating my charm. Should I start practicing now? Maybe I can try it with you. Wanna bet with me?" Brandon was clearly challenging her.

Yuri was rendered speechless. She thought Brandon had changed but it looked like he was still doing his advances and the moves to women including her.
