"Hmmph...taking a favour from you is like using my life as collateral, I will pass," he blandly rejected, she scoffed at his arrogance when he clearly needs her then she also stood up.

"I don't need any fortune teller to tell me the result of your pursuit, with such a snobbish character like yours, Yu Yan will never be yours," she scoffed away and marched out of the ward in annoyance.

​​

{I can't believe I had to get insulted by three women the moment I wake up, what a hard life I live}

Just then, he remembered his conversation with Yu Yan.

"Does she really remember everything, does that mean---" he stopped, reassessing the situation he is in, firstly, Yu Yan is someone who hates being kept in the dark and deceived so he has already offended her greatly and she is also not someone who will get back with him just because of a high school love memory she just recovered unless she still feels the same about him.

"My life is really too hard, I have gotten on her bad side-" he sighed deeply.

Two days later.

In the Chen mansion, they were all seated at the dining hall including Xiaomeng who has been living in the same mansion despite them not being married yet just engaged. Although ever since Han Chen had the accident, Yu Yan and Chen kai have not been seen with each other, she still can't help feeling insecure.

If all it took for her to make Chen Kai leave Yu Yan and get engaged to her was to tell his mother about their relationship then she would have done so since but now not only is he still on good terms with Xiaomeng, he is also treating her well and making public appearances with her.

But she knows that there is no way Chen Kai will be still be acting friendly towards her after what she did and his love for Yu Yan is not so little that he will let her go so easily.

"Chen Kai, how has working at the hospital been?" his father inquired as he sliced the steak on his plate with a stern expression on his wrinkled face as a result of frowning.

"It has been going well so far, it is just that the Jia family has been causing us a lot of trouble for a while now, I am afraid that if he doesn't wake up--"

"Didn't you hear the news?" Xiaomeng interrupted, it seemed to her that he has been relaxed about Yu Yan because Han Chen is out of the way.

"What news?" they all turned to her.

"Han Chen woke up two days ago," she disclosed, their faces were filled with shock immediately they heard the news, Mrs Chen breathed a sigh of relief while Mr Chen nodded in satisfaction but then he frowned as he turned to Chen Kai.

"What have you been doing, how can you not be aware of something as important as that?!" he queried with his voice raised, his body became tense immediately as he batted his lashes in nervousness.

"I haven't been at the hospital for the past two days because of the errand you sent me," he quickly defended, gulping down his non-existent saliva with his head lowered as he has always feared his father.

"Hmmm!" he exhaled deeply and continued cutting his steak while the others glanced at each other as they were still feeling tense because of the chairman. Immediately after dinner, she returned to her room, leaving the servant to take care of the dishes but as she was about to enter her room, he grabbed her and pinned her to the wall.

"What do you think you are doing?" he hissed, gritting his teeth.

She winced in pain because of his tight grip on her hand but he still didn't release her hand, she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply then she opened it with confidence to answer him.

"Why? are you that unhappy that he is awake, oh...you must think you still have a chance at getting her back," she retorted in an almost inaudible pitch, he narrowed his eyes to feign ignorance as to what she is referring to.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb in front of me, do you think I am a fool? you have been smiling in front of me all these while and pretending to have me in your heart but if it was that easy for you---you would have broken up with her long ago, do you dare to say you don't have plans to get back with her?" she widened her eyes and curled up her lips.

She could see that has already angered him and she has nothing to fear, after all---

Thwack!

She held her cheek with her mouth agape!

He exhaled deeply, even that slap is not enough to relieve the anger and frustration that has piled up in his chest over these months because of her.

"Did you just slap me?"

His frown ceased as a broad smile formed on his lips, she raised her brows in confusion as to why he is smiling until he placed his hands on her shoulder then he slowly tightened his grip on her shoulder and pressed her back against the wall.

"Xiaomeng, we have known each other for so many years so it is only natural that you know me more than anyone does--including my dreams and ambition, If I can let go of Yu Yan once, I can get her back again but you---you have gotten what you want..." he released his grip on her shoulder then he raised his fingers to her face.

He caressed her face from her forehead to her lips, she flinched out of fear causing him to smirk.

"This is what you have always wanted, to feel my touch and have me totally and that you have gotten, I will satisfy you as best as I can but you had better not interfere with me and Yu Yan then we can continue being the perfect couple we have been during these five months," he lowered his eyes to her lips and raised her chin then he swiftly tilted his lips, he placed his lips on her and sucked her lips right into his, kissing passionately without her reciprocation.

He pulled away from her and smirked then he walked away.

She scoffed in disbelief and brought her finger to her bruised lips.

"Chen Kai, if you are going to be like this then don't blame me for fighting back..." she clenched her fist tightly and bit her lower lips as she turned towards the direction where he disappeared.

In the hospital.

The surgeon widened his eye and pointed the pen torch into it, he nodded satisfactorily and did the same for the other eye.

"Your condition is better now, all the test that have been carried out have turned out positive, your fractured bones have also healed and I presume you can also move your hand and move around now?" the surgeon inquired while he nodded in affirmation.

"That's good, although it is quite rare for a patient to be fully alright after being in a coma for that long, I am still glad you are alright, I will help you remove the cast now--" he moved closer to remove the cast but Han Chen moved his arm away, leaving the surgeon in confusion which he expressed through the quizzical look on his face.

"Ah...you see, I still have little trouble with moving around, I still think I should leave it for a while," he awkwardly explained.

"I don't think so, from how you moved your arm away just now you seem completely fine unless you are trying to---"

"It is not what you think! I just want to leave it for a while," he quickly refuted before the surgeon completes his guess.

"Alright, if it is really now what I think then I had better inform surgeon Yu Yan about the progress of your recovery," the surgeon teased then he turned around to leave.

"Please--" he couldn't plead with the surgeon because of Yu Yan's sudden appearance.

"Surgeon Yu Yan," the surgeon greeted while Yu Yan bowed to greet him then she gave him a snobbish side glance.

"Is there anything I am not supposed to know?" she questioned, casting him an accusing look.

"Mr Han Chen wanted to take off his cast even though his injury is not healed yet so I decided to ask you to persuade him to leave it so he can recover faster," he lied, Han Chen, who was already tense thinking the surgeon plans to foil his plans relaxed his body and heaved a sigh of relief.

"You don't have to worry about that," she responded then glared at him, he smiled at their childish relationship then he nodded at Han Chen and walked out of the ward.

She cleared her throat and walked out of the ward then she returned with a wheelchair to his surprise, she brought the wheelchair close to the bed and sat on the stool.
