“Miss Hai, please wait here for a moment, Dr. Wang will arrive shortly,” the nurse explained.

“All right,” Hai Lan nodded and sat down in front of the doctor’s desk.

The nurse had only left for a moment, probably less than a few minutes, when the office door was pushed open.

“Dr. Wang…” Hai Lan turned around to greet, but she froze when she saw who it was.

It wasn’t Dr. Wang who entered, it was Wen Jingheng…

The man in the black suit closed the door behind him, his dark, profound eyes staring at her, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he hooked them up, “Why, don’t you seem happy to see it’s me?”

Hai Lan, an actress of accolade-worthy caliber, instantly switched her expression, smiling flawlessly, “Mr. Wen, what brings you here? Are you also looking for Dr. Wang?”

“I’m here for you,” Wen Jingheng said indifferently, which caught Hai Lan off guard, causing her to pause briefly.

The tall man walked towards her, and although he moved gracefully, for some reason his presence imposed an intangible pressure on Hai Lan.

Hai Lan crossed one leg over the other, her toe tapping the ground, and her swivel chair spun around to face Wen Jingheng.

She folded her arms across her chest and raised her eyebrows slightly, “What do you want with me? You even made a special trip to the hospital.”

Wen Jingheng’s hands were in his pockets as he looked down at her with a light smile, “I had no choice, you weren’t answering your phone, so I had to come here.”

“Did you arrange for Dr. Wang to be away?” Hai Lan asked directly.

“Mm,” Wen Jingheng readily admitted.

Hai Lan laughed, “Mr. Wen, that seems a bit inappropriate. You could have stopped me on the street if you wanted to see me. Here… just the two of us, isn’t that improper?”

“It’s not convenient to talk on the street,” Wen Jingheng suddenly leaned in close to her, and Hai Lan resisted the urge to move. His face stopped just about ten centimeters from hers.

This was the first time Hai Lan had looked into his eyes from such a close distance.

She realized then how inscrutable Wen Jingheng’s eyes were…

What seemed like a gentle and indifferent gaze at ordinary times was just a facade; hidden beneath were the sharpness and decisiveness of a man accustomed to high stakes.

Hai Lan’s expression became more focused, and her smile vanished, “What are you trying to do, Mr. Wen? Why do I get the feeling that you’re not here with good intentions?”

“Why didn’t you answer the phone?” Wen Jingheng countered her question with one of his own, his low tone making it hard to refuse a response.

“Why should I answer the phone?” Hai Lan retorted with amusement, “Did you come here just because of that?”

“Yes, because I simply couldn’t tolerate a certain woman’s behavior!” Wen Jingheng’s voice grew deeper, “I didn’t want to come here initially, but I really wanted to hear your reason.”

“What reason do you want to hear?” Hai Lan reclined back in her chair, her demeanor lazy, “Wen Jingheng, I’m not good at dealing with people, and I’ve taken your feelings to heart. However, I think it’s better for us to completely sever contact. It’s better for both you and me.”

“So you’re really not considering me at all?” Wen Jingheng asked bluntly, “Is Wei Zhijie really that much better than me?”

“I’ve never compared you. Had I not met him first, you would have been my best choice,” Hai Lan spoke frankly, “But I will not betray my love!”

Her last sentence was spoken with absolute certainty.

Wen Jingheng’s expression suddenly stiffened, and he was at a loss for what to feel…
