"He even came to your welcome party and tried to harass Yu Yan," An Ke said

"Really, I don't remember inviting him did you guys invite him?" Ji Chen asked ​​

"I think I did, I invited everyone in the cardiology department," Jia Yu said

"So, what did you do to him?" Ji Chen asked

"Nothing, I just warned him that the next time he tries that then I would beat him up," Yu Yan said

"that is not like you, goddess, you have always dealt harshly with people like him, you don't really like him, do you?" Ji Chen said

"What are you saying, how can she like that imp, don't you know how much she loves Chen Kai but it is indeed unusual of her," An Ke said, then they all fixed their gaze on Yu Yan with a suspicious look on their faces.

"Why are you all looking at me, you don't really think I would leave Chen Kai for someone like that, right?" Yu Yan said

"But despite all he as done since you entered this hospital, you have never taken actions," An Ke said

"Have you forgotten what I did to him the first time we met? I just kicked him once and he fell on the ground, he was hospitalized the next day when his butt wasn't healing, he even tried to sue me for assault but Chen Kai threatened him and that was how he found out who Chen Kai is" Yu Yan said

"ooh, that's true, that day, I had a party in my house so I invited you and Han Chen, by the time I came out, I saw the both of you arguing but he was still on the floor, that sight was so funny, how could I have forgotten it," An Ke said

"Don't worry, now that I am here, I will protect you from that scum bag?" Ji Chen said then he beat his chest with pride and confidence, they all laughed at his confidence as he beat his chest.

"If you were King Kong then I would

Have believed you are that capable since you are beating your chest, you had better protect your girlfriend, I think Yu Yan should be the one protecting you?" Meng Yao said, then they all burst into laughter, everyone in the canteen turned to look at them again but they didn't even care about the numerous eyes that were staring at them.

Meanwhile, on another table, Xiaomeng was sitting with Yue Ling. They glared at Yu Yan with contempt burning in their eyes, the both of them are in love with men who only have eyes for Yu Yan so they are actually in the same clique.

"Do they think they are the only ones in the canteen?" Xiaomeng said, unlike Yue Ling, she is also a close friend to them but because of her beef with Yu Yan, she stopped hanging out with them.

"That Yu Yan is really hateful, seeing her makes me lose my appetite, I shouldn't have come here," Yue Ling said the. She stabbed her fork into the vegetable on her plate.

"Is Alan Chen still pursuing her?" Xiaomeng asked with feigned ignorance.

"I don't really know what is so good about her, he hardly even notices me but when anyone mentions her name then his eyes always becomes lit, there is nothing that she has that I don't have, even if she is more beautiful than I am at least I also surpass her in other areas," Yue Ling said, then she slammed her chopstick on her plate.

"She is really an expert in seducing men, even though she has two wealthy and high-class men at her beck and call, she is still seducing another one, she is really shameless," Xiaomeng hinted just to make Yue Ling ask the obvious question so that it wouldn't seem Luke she is gossiping.

"What do you mean by that?" Yue Ling asked, her face shone with curiosity.

"I saw her outside with a young guy today, I have never seen anyone who is well proportioned as he is but I am not sure about is social status, he was dressed really plain but he seemed sophisticated, she was talking with him in the garden," Xiaomeng said

"Then how did you jump to the conclusion that she was trying to seduce him?" Yue Ling asked, unlike Xiaomeng, she is very reasonable and she doesn't like it when someone is accused of something they didn't do or gossiping about someone unnecessarily.

"She intentionally spilt her drink on him even though she knew that he was behind her, you should have seen how she was acting when she was speaking with him, she was even fondling with his hand, I have only seen her acting that way with Chen Kai," Xiaomeng said

"I don't know if that is enough to jump into that conclusion but if it is really true then I will use this chance to stop Alan Chen from loving her," Yue Ling said then she smiled slightly.

"I also need enough proof or else Chen Kai would never break up with her just because of something I said," Xiaomeng said

"I really don't understand why you are worried about Chen Kai, except for the three of us, everyone else in the hospital regard you as the daughter in law of the CEO, even if he is dating her now, the moment he returns, everything would still go back to how it is supposed to be," Yue Ling said

"You are saying that because you don't know Chen Kai, even if his parents tell him to break up with Yu Yan, he would never listen to them, or else he wouldn't have dated her in the first place, he is someone who would never start something he can't finish," Xiaomeng said

"I don't believe that every man has something that he wouldn't want to lose no matter the sacrifice he has to pay, if he has to choose between his fortune or his inheritance over her, what do you think he would choose?" Yue Ling asked

"Chen Kai indeed has a hidden part that only I know of, he appears to be someone who is humble and doesn't care about the fact that he comes from a wealthy family but he is not like that, inside he is very proud of all his achievement, he is ambitious and he has always wanted his father's recognition," Xiaomeng said

"That is his weakness, when the time comes, you wouldn't need to worry about getting him back from her, just be patient. If only I was in the same situation with you, I wouldn't even be bothered about Alan Chen" Yue Ling said

Just then, Alan Chen walked into the canteen, Yue Ling noticed him as soon as he walked in, she quickly put on the best smile that she had then she waved her hands and shouted his name, he turned around then he saw her but he just smiled at her and looked the other way, he noticed that Yu Yan was sitting with the others so he walked towards her table. Yue Ling was embarrassed and furious by his indifference towards her even though she shouted his name aloud, she didn't expect him to ignore her in such a harsh manner and then walk to Yu Yan's table.

She clenched her hand and bit her lower lips as she watched him walk towards her direction, Xiaomeng felt pity for her after seeing her reaction, at least Chen Kai would never do such a thing to her in the public.

He arrived in front of their table but they didn't even look at him, they were too busy discussing among themselves to have heard Yue Ling shouting his name, Li Chen lifted his eyes only to see him in front of them.

"Director, what are you doing here," Li Chen asked then they all raised their head to see if it was really Alan Chen.

"Do I need a reason to sit on this table?" Alan Chen said then he sat at the edge of the table beside Yu Yan, she was uncomfortable with the fact that he was too close to her so she slightly pushed Jia Yu who was sitting at her left side to create space for herself then she moved away from him.

"Of course, not" Li Chen replied with sarcasm in his voice.

"Who is he?" Jia Yu whispered into Yu Yan ear

"Alan Chen," Yu Yan said with a downcast look on her face

"Alan Chen!" Jia Yu said aloud

"It seems like she has already told you about me, I am guessing that she didn't say anything nice about me," Alan Chen said

"Is he clueless or is e pretending to be clueless, why does he have to come here and ruin the fun?" Meng Yao said silently, they all heard her including Alan Chen but he acted like he didn't hear what she said.

"You must be the new surgeon in the cardiology department?" Alan said to Jia Yu, then Ji Chen who was sitting close to Jia Yu became alert when he saw Alan Chen smiling at Jia Yu, he noticed some strands of hair hanging beside her hair, so he tucked them behind her ear to warn Alan Chen of his presence.

"You should really pack your hair tightly," Ji Chen said with a smile on his face then Jia Yu smiled back at him, they all chuckled at his at his actions, except for Alan Chen who understood the obvious meaning behind his action but he managed to put on a bitter smile, they knew that he was trying to warn Alan Chen not to get close to his girlfriend.

"It seems like the both of you are dating," Alan Chen said

"Yes we are dating, by the way, I am not new here, I did one year of my internship here then the hospital sent us for training abroad," Jia Yu said

"I must have forgotten you then, I really envy the both of you, if only the woman I want to date is willing to accept me, I would also be dating someone I love by now," Alan Chen said then he turned to look at Yu Yan who ignored him although she felt his stare. They all fixed their gaze on her after he finished talking then the table was filled with an awkward silence.

"Alan Chen," Yue Ling called

They all lifted their eyes to see who it was, they were shocked to see Yue Ling frowning at both Alan Chen and Yu Yan.

"I need to speak with you…." Yue Ling said then she glanced at Yu Yan and continued "In private".

"I need to finish my lunch first and I also have some business to attend to, I will call you when I am free then you can tell me whatever it is you want to discuss then," Alan Chen said without even looking at her, they were all surprised that he couldn't even look at her while he was speaking, he was basically treating her like a nobody.

"You…you have gone too far Alan Chen," Yue Ling said with her voice slightly raised, then she glared at Yu Yan who has been avoiding her gaze since she arrived at the table they were sitting on, she pursed her lips in regret that she didn't chase him away when he came to sit on their table.

She could understand how Yue Ling felt and she also didn't want to become her enemy, they were once friends but that ended the moment she discovered that Alan Chen was chasing Yu Yan.
