Two days later.
At Sage College
"Fei, Fei..." Mary Yun exclaimed as soon as she finally spotted the one she had been waiting for.
So she trotted to that girl.
The girl was no one but the spoiled daughter of Huo‘s family, Jennifer Huo.
They went to the same school but different classes.
"Mary..." Jennifer Huo raised her eyebrow, surprised, "You‘re calling me?"
Mary Yun chuckled, handed a shopping bag to her and said, "This is the latest arrival of Louie Vuitton. I feel it will just suit you perfectly so I give it to you."
A glint flashed in Jennifer Huo‘s eyes. She opened the shopping bag to check the gift.
"Fei, what are your brother doing these days?"
Jennifer Huo slightly sneered, "You two are going to be engaged, and you should be the person who knows the answer most, right?"
Being a little bit embarrassed, Mary Yun derided, "I see that he has been extremely busy these days and I do not wanna interrupt him..."
"Well, That‘s definitely correct. My brother signed contracts worthy of billions of yuan everyday. Mary, let me give you a piece of advice. Do not impede my brother even if you two do get married in the end. He is responsible for the entire GEG Group. If you are disobedient, well, the title of Mrs. Huo... will just be a flash in the pan."
"Yeah, of course. Fei, didn‘t you say you like Karl‘s designs? Here is his name card, I have already made a reservation so that you could go to him for a customized outfit whenever you like."
It was out of Jennifer Huo‘s expectation, she then asked, "You can even contact with Karl? He is the most prominent designer who only designs eight attires exclusively for super stars!"
"Tell me about it. Let me say, you‘re brighter than all these movie stars. It is Karl‘s honor to design for you!"
After hearing that, Jennifer Huo chuckled, "Then thank you anyway." She took the card and said, "That‘s right, I remember my brother is visiting the NO.1 hospital these days."
"He goes to the hospital? Is he ill?" Mary Yun was worried immediately.
"Well, not that serious. My mother said that someone extremely important to the company was in hospital. So he is just paying a visit."
Mary Yun was speechless. How could it be that she hadn‘t heard about it?
"Mary, well, I have an appointment. So I gotta bail." Jennifer Huo put the card away carefully in her handbag.
"Okay, well then." Mary Yun handed her the Louie Vuitton bag.
Jennifer Huo took it and was about to leave. But she quickly turned around and said, "Actually..."
"What‘s the matter?" Mary Yun asked anxiously.
"Mary, I don‘t like the latest arrivals in the future if you wanna give me gifts. I only use limited editions for I don‘t like seeing the same collection being carried by someone else."
Mary Yun clutched her fists.
What a rich chick who liked to take advantages.
"Luo Jennifer, after I marry to your brother and become your sister-in-law, you will be doomed."
But...
What was that NO.1 hospital? Who was that important person?
She had to go to the hospital to check!
At the hospital.
"Mom, let‘s go back. Its freezing outside!" Mary Yun was strolling with her mother.
The last time, the chemo was such a great success that Patricia Bai looked much more healthier now.
And recently she had been having a walk around the garden longer than before.
"Okay." Patricia Bai smiled. Both of them walked back to the building.
It was not too crowded in the lobby, nor were there many people waiting for the elevators at this moment.
"Well, that‘s right. Can you go there and buy some milk of red bean flavor?" Patricia Bai suggested.
"Mom, you wanna drink that?"
"Not for me, its for Kui. She likes this flavor. She has brought us fruits this time. You just buy a box of milk for her to take home next time she comes."
"I‘ll escort you to the room and then go to the store." Just then, the elevator came down to the first floor.
"Just go ahead. I can go back alone. I‘ll just wait for you at the corridor." Patricia Bai waved her hands to show that she would be fine.
After seeing that, Linda Yun didn‘t say anything else. Her mother liked to walk around in the corridor if she was bored.
"Well, I‘ll be right back. Mom, you must be tired, wait for me in the ward, okay?" Linda Yun exhorted.
"Alright!" Patricia Bai replied and slowly stepped in the elevator.
It was not until the elevator door closed that Linda Yun headed to the store.
However, the moment she stepped into the shop, two tall men came over.
"Mr. Huo, I have arranged it perfectly that Mr. Meng‘s children will be here tomorrow to take care of him."
Michael Huo didn‘t reply. He was still wearing a mask and giving out an indifferent aura.
Actually, Mr. Meng was merely a veteran employee to Michael Huo.
It was just enough for him to see that old man once.
He just didn‘t get it why he had to continuously visit him for these three days.
What was he doing?
The man frowned and was a little bit pissed off.
"Mr Huo, I‘m buying some milk for him." Joe Guo saw that those people around were all having something in hand, so he couldn‘t help saying.
The man nodded but stood there and didn‘t move.
On noticing this, Joe Guo rushed to the store immediately.
A few seconds later.
Two figures appeared out of the shop.
"Thank you by the way. I always use Alipay instead of cash. But my phone is left in my car, so I‘ll transfer you the money later." Joe Guo, a box of milk in hand, smiled.
Linda Yun chuckled to him in her mask and replied, "It doesn‘t matter. You don‘t have to."
"Well, this is my name card. My phone number is my WeChat account. You can friend me and I‘ll transfer you money." Joe Guo took out the card and handed it to her.
"Okay!" Linda Yun took the name card right away without checking the information on it.
"The elevator‘s here. Hurry up." Joe Guo noticed the elevator had already arrived at the first floor.
Linda Yun started to dash to the elevator.
Both of them knew that it was killing to wait for an elevator.
However, when she was about to stop, that slender guy sitting in front of the elevator door turned around...
The pair of deep charming eyes...
It was him!
For an instant, her legs froze like being halted by thousands of tons‘ weight...
People‘s faces could change randomly.
But their eyes couldn‘t.
What was more, this pair of eyes had been embedded in her brain.
So she recognized that guy the moment she looked into his eyes although he was wearing a mask.
"Hey there, hurry up!" Joe Guo pressed the button to keep the door open and urged her.
That tall man had already walked in.
People around him kept a distance from him on account of his slender figure and the indifferent expression.
So the elevator was not that crowded.
When Linda Yun came to herself, she coughed to belie her anxiety, "Well, I have something to attend to, and I won‘t take this..."
"Come on, the door‘s closing." Joe Guo didn‘t hear her words. Seeing she didn‘t move, he ran to her, grasped her wrist and pulled her in.
The door closed right behind her.
She felt like she was about to stop breathing.
What went wrong?
Why on earth was she taking this elevator?
She had just made an excuse to leave!
No matter how she regretted it, the elevator door closed while she was completely shocked...
There were not many people in the elevator.
Yet, somehow, she felt she was so suppressed that she was about to be choked to death.
That man was on his feet motionlessly with his iconic indifferent expression.
What a coincidence! She was pulled right next to him by Joe Guo...
She squinted and was petrified instantly for her coat had just touched his shirt!
A cold shiver ran down her spine, she moved her feet slowly...
"Linda Yun, don‘t fret, he cannot recognize you..."
She bit her lips, and looked to the door.
Why wouldn‘t it just stop?
Whatsoever, whichever floor it stopped, she just had to get outta this place!
"Ding." The door slid open on the 5th floor. She was to move her feet.
But a bunch of people flowed in.
They completely blocked her way out.
"Hey, I haven‘t..."
She hadn‘t finished her words when the elevator door closed.
She bit her lips desperately. What the...
"Wow..." Suddenly, a cry burst out.
People in the elevator were all stuck.
Linda Yun then found out that it was a boy, about 3 years old, crying in her mother‘s arms and pulling her hair.
"Dou Dou, be a good boy!" That woman frowned, and scolded her son.
"Wah! Wah! No needles! No dripping!" The boy was very loud.
"But you‘re ill!" The woman was obviously pissed off. She held his hand and ordered him to calm down.
But unexpectedly, the boy wriggled backward and strated to cry
Linda Yun was scared a little bit, and then she held his head subconsciously.
"Thank you." His mom thanked her immediately.
"It doesn‘t matter."
"How dare you touch me?" The little boy stared at her and yelled, "Ugly b***h! Back off from me!"
"Dou Dou, apologize!" His mother was angry.
"Ugly witches wear masks!" Instantly, he reached out his hand and dragged her mask from her face, "Get outta there! Get outta there!"
Before Linda Yun realized what had happened, the mask was already in that boy‘s hand.
She was scared to death that she hurried to have her mask back.
But that naughty boy held the mask up high, and refused to give it to her.
"Give it to this sister!" His mom tried to get the mask.
"No!" The boy clutched the mask with his two hands.
Linda Yun stopped taking it from that spoiled boy. She lowered her head. If it were possible, she‘d rather bow to hide her face.
Please, please, open the door!
"Ding." The elevator stopped.
People in front of her walked out one by one. Linda Yun, face in hands, followed them.
However, that mean boy dragged her ponytail with great force all of a sudden...
Ahh...
Linda Yun fell straight onto the floor before she realized what had happened...
People around closed their eyes! It just hurt!
However, seconds had passed, and they never heard her scream.
Linda Yun closed her eyes and her back did not land on the ground.
Well?
What was going on?
She opened her apricot-like eyes cautiously.
The floor, black trousers, and a dark brown tweed coat...
How familiar...
Looking up, her eyes met a pair of charming dark ones, which were staring at hers intensively.
Suddenly, her body was shaking out of fear from head to toes.
Mary?!
That sexy and enchanting voice echoed beside her ears with uncertainty.
Mary?
Hearing that low and magnetic voice calling the nickname. all women would fall for him.
However, it was merely as terrifying as Satan announcing her doom.
"Ah!" For an instant, she pushed him on the chest almost subconsciously.
"Bump." She fell hard on the floor.
"Ding." The elevator happened to slide open.
Neglecting the pain, she crawled up and dashed outside.
Run, she had to run, faster and faster...
"Ah!" She had just escaped from the elevator when her body was reversed, and "Bang--" her back leaned against the wall heavily.
Then a tall figure was in front of her face.
Linda Yun was so stunned that she tried to turn aside and flee.
But the man‘s hands were already tapped against the wall.
And his body was leaning toward her.
Linda Yun was petrified.
Was this, this a Kabe-don?
The pair of brooding eyes were gazing at her face. Then he bent over and said in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Linda Yun held her breath. Her small hands, which were to push him away, suspended in the air.
He moved his lips, "Who are you?"
She looked up, staring at that pair of enquiring but cold eyes.
Her mind was all mixed up.
He didn‘t say Mary but asked her who she was?
Did he sense it?
No, no way!
She and her sister Mary Yun were the kind of one in a million pair of identical twins, which meant that no one could tell them apart merely by looking at their faces.
Her head was spinning round and round at this moment.
The man‘s skinny long hand was pitching her chin. He uttered three words with low and cold voice, "Answer the question!"
No way, he couldn‘t have found out that she was not Mary Yun.
And she could never let Mary Yun know that she was in this hospital.
So...
Well, she took a deep breath.
At the next moment, she beamed and pretended to speak in a seducing voice, "Ting... Tingchen, you know who I am. Bad boy!"
The air froze.
Her palms were sweating.
What?
Had she called the wrong name?
It might be Ting? Or Chen?
The man sneered, extending a sense of ridicule" You‘re Mary?"
~
"Yeah."
She forced a smile.
What‘s going on? Why did he give this sardonic grin?
"What are you doing here?" The man then glimpsed at her from head to toe.
"I... I just come here to visit my friend." She stood upright, acting Mary Yun‘s posture, "Well I don‘t wanna be recognized, so... I wear this cheap shirt, after all... I have to show my respect to others in hospitals."
He lowered his eyes with a poker face and hugged her close to his chest, "Why are you hiding from me?"
Linda Yun gasped anxiously. She did not dare to move since her body was stiff.
"Just talk, okay? Why would he have to... hug me?"
The man continued to hug her, a sarcastic expression flashed on his face and then he just smiled, "You seem to resist me. Why? I remember you loved to feel my body."
Linda Yun‘s fists were clutching so tightly on both sides that her finger joints started to become whitening, as intense as her aching nerves.
"Or you are..."
"Tingchen..."
She chuckled, and cut his words off.
A second later, she suddenly stood on her toes, hugged his neck with her arms and said coyly, "You‘re so tall. I can‘t even kiss you when I stand on tiptoes..."
She was trembling on her toes. Though he was lowering his head, she still failed to clutch him.
"Ting... Tingchen..."
She ped her soles on the floor and gave up.
Why did this guy have to be that tall?
Maybe he was 6.5 feet tall?
"Emm?" The moment she was to let go, the guy held her by the waist and lifted her up.
Before Linda Yun realized what had happened, she completely fell into his chest but her two hands were stuck between them.
"You..."
She never had the chance to finish what she wanted to say.
The man‘s pupils dilated, he got closer with his chin touching her cheek, jeering, " Which friend? Shall we go together?"
Linda Yun was stuck. The atmosphere was over-romantic.
So she pushed him away immediately.
"Well then, you don‘t really have to. I‘m leaving very soon. Just mind your own business."
On replying, she moved one more step away to keep a distance from him.
.
But the man came closer to her step by step until her back was against the wall again.
His hands were swiftly put against the wall to trap her in his arms.
Then he leaned even closer and whispered in her ear with that bewitchingly smoky voice from his throat, "What? It is a man... or your lover?"
Linda Yun was stunned, she looked up at a loss with her raven dark eyes, which were an obvious contrast to her pale face.
What, what was he talking about?
Lo...
Lover?
"Hah, just kidding." That guy stood upright right away and tapped her head gently, "Call me later, okay?"
Linda Yun was a little bit confused since she didn‘t know how to respond to this.
"What? You wanna go with me?"
"No, no, no. Well then, I‘ll call... call you later." After ping these words, she ran out of his sight.
The man didn‘t stop smiling till her figure vanished in the distance.
Joe Guo, who had been standing in a distance, came over and said, "Mr. Huo, Mary Yun is so strange today."
He had been watching them from the very start.
Indeed, Miss Mary Yun behaved so oddly.
Why would she pretend not knowing him at the store?
"She is not Mary Yun!" The man‘s voice echoed coldly.
Stunned, Joe Guo replied, "Not, not Mary Yun. How could it possible... She is..."
"Look into her identity." He turned around and walked to the elevator.
Joe Guo nodded, "Yes, Sir!"
As for the real Mary Yun,
she arrived at the hospital with sunglasses and a bunch of flowers.
Although her face was covered by the sunglasses, her designer outfit made her very conspicuous.
"Hello, which floor is it?" She was making a phone call in an elevator, "What? The 15th floor? OK, I get it!"
She hung up the phone and frowned--what a smell in the hospital!
Soon, she reached the 15th floor.
After she stepped out of the elevator door, she knitted her brows since she was confused about which ward it was.
"Forget it, I‘ll just ask go to the nurse station."
She marched to the reception desk in her stilettos, bright-colored flowers in arms, and got all the attention from this corridor.
"Ding, ding, ding..." Her cell phone sang.
Mary Yun picked up to check--it was from an anonymous caller.
But the familiar number below made her frown. She looked around and walked straight to the staircase.
Opening the door, she flashed in.
"Yo, are you outta your mind? Haven‘t I warned you? Do not call me..."
Her words were not finished.
Mary Yun was stuck.
Patricia Bai g, who was doing exercise below this flight of stairs, looked up and was dumbfounded, too.
