Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 243
Just like her old apartment, there is also a fountain outside the apartment and many green trees and flowers of different colours, the height of the building makes the lights from other building seem really colourful and arranged in an extremely beautiful pattern.
The stars also made the scene look even more appealing and natural, she raised her head heavenward, glancing at the stars but the one image that keeps appearing in her sight is the image of Han Chen wiping her tears with a charming smile in the rain.
When she spoke to him, she tried her best to make her voice sound composed when she was actually fretful when she was speaking to him, somehow, ever since the night, her thoughts and dream were filled with him.
Ever since he found her under the rain, the empty space in her heart seemed to be occupied by him and she kept thinking about some of the things he said…
– – – – –
“Why, do you feel bad for cutting my face, you are still the same Yu Yan, you hate seeing me hurt,”
“You have never been afraid of such things before, as long as you remain the confident Yu Yan you have always been then I best you won’t have any problem,”
– – – – – –
Remembering the things he said, she realized that he has always spoken to her like someone who knows her from the inside like he has known her for over years…..she folded her arms on her chest in deep thought.
Ever since he appeared, she has always felt confused and the desire to recover her lost memory which she never cared about keeps growing inside her.
When she is with him, she always feels familiar with him or gets flashes of her memory.
{Do I really have a past with him or is it just my imagination,}
She pondered.
– – – – –
“Good morning,”
“Good morning,”
She greeted everyone as she passed them by just like she has always done but although not surprisingly, they were all looking at her with different expressions on their face, accusation, pity, mockery, the look of admiration and envy they always showed her whenever she saw them had disappeared from their faces.
{This is not going to be easy…} she concluded in her mind.
She decided to ignore them and not greet anyone, she dipped her hand into her bag to bring out her phone, but she felt her body swing sideways in an instant, it was too sudden that she fell to the ground.
Crack!
She winced in pain as she fell to the ground with her hair falling over her face.
“Oh my gosh, I am so sorry, I was in a hurry…are you alright?” a young lady in a white coat quickly apologised, with a concerned look on her face, she tried to stand up before giving her reply, but her ankle failed her causing her to fall to the ground.
“S**T,” She cursed, pushing her hair back then she looked up to see who it was that collided with her, but they were many people surrounding her, suddenly, she seemed to be the centre of attraction and she could not even recognise who it was that pushed her.
She picked up her back and her phone and was about to stand up again, putting in more effort but she slumped back to the ground, she realized that she must have sprained something.
She scrunched her face in frustration, wanting to quickly leave the place before the situation becomes more embarrassing for her.
“I am really sorry, let me help you up,” the young lady apologised and offered, she stretched her hands forward to Yu Yan to hold with a faint smile on her lips, Yu Yan sighed and thanked God that finally someone was being sensible to not just stand and watch her struggle, she extended her hand to hold the young lady’s hand but as soon as she stood up with her support, she snapped her hand away.
She fell to the ground again and her phone slammed against the tiled floor, she raised her head with a questioning look on her face until she saw the mocking gaze on the young lady’s face.
She remembered seeing that face before, she is one of the surgeons that were gossiping about the chairwoman and Chen Kai during her visit to the hospital, she bit her lower lips in frustration.
“Hey, you should have told me you were dating him then I wouldn’t have said those things in the elevator,” the young lady remarked with a fake apologetic look on her face.
“I was wondering why she sounded so angry when we were just chatting, it turns out that she is the side chick,” the other surgeon who was in the elevator added.
“What are you talking about, she is not a side chick, she is just a slut who tried to raise her social status,” the other lady chimed in, the others started laughing with mocking gazes directed at Yu Yan.
She exhaled and mustered her strength to stand up, with much effort, she finally brought herself to her feet then the laughter stopped, the lady who pushed her moved closer to her.
“You see…it is not so wrong that you tried to become someone you are not and you can never be but…” she swiped the hair hovering on Yu Yan’s face to the back of her ear then she smiled slyly.
“You should still know your place,” she concluded.
“She must have thought she is someone important just because she managed to get into the general surgery department and even has strong connections…what a joke,” the other added.
She has experienced worse than this when she first arrived at the hospital, but she managed to earn their respect with her ability and her connections and now looking at their disgusting faces, she does not plan on letting all her effort go to waste.
“I see you all don’t have any work to do, I have patients to attend to so please excuse me,” she took a step forward brushing past her shoulder, causing the lady to almost trip but she quickly regained her balance, she smirked inwardly and was about to move forward when she felt someone restricting her.
“You can’t just leave like that, don’t you think we have some talking to do,” a male’s voice…she recognises the voice, in fact, she doesn’t need to turn back to know whose repulsive hand just held her wrist, she clenched her other fist tightly and exhaled deeply.
She swiftly turned back and snapped her wrist away from his grip.
“I don’t have anything to say to you,” she walked towards the end of the stairs until she heard him speak.
“I don’t think so, since you didn’t want to go out with me because of your so-called boyfriend who has now abandoned you, I am very sure you will accept me now…No, you want me,” the corner of his mouth turned up and his eyes glowed with confidence and lust.
They all started murmuring hearing what he had just said, if there is someone else who is happy with what happened, it is Alan Chen.
She glared at him with her, clenching her fist tighter, her collar bone had already risen up and the veins in her neck becoming obvious.
She really wants to punch him for making such comment, but she must restrain herself….at least for now, while they are still at work.
“So you have not only been dating the chairman’s son, but you have also been flirting with the assistant director, Yu Yan, you are really a genius,” one of them remarked, the disgusted and demeaning look in their eyes with the smirks and scoffs totally made her feel so little in front of them.
“I didn’t think she is this slutty,”
“Who knows if she actually used that beautiful face of hers to get to this stage,”
It has been too long since she has felt this way and this disgusting fool in front of her keeps glancing over her from head to toe.
She looked heavenward, trying to restrain the tears gathering in her eyes from falling but she saw the one person who put into this mess watching them from afar across the stairs.
She lowered her head with her eyes fixed on him, hatred, anger, pain, filled her eyes, she gritted her teeth, remembering she might have to see him every day even the fact that he has been standing there, watching them say these things to her without stepping forward to defend or at least do something to save her didn’t surprise her…that is after all who he really is.
“Why…” he moved closer to her, she brought her eyes back to the irritating man standing in front of her, he lowered his eyes to her chest…in front of everyone, she felt insulted to the core.
She looked at him in disbelief, he is actually humiliating her in such a way in front of them.
{Alan Chen…I will definitely pay you back for this}
