She hurriedly went to the changing room where she changed then entered the washroom to wash her face and brush.

She dipped her face into the water in her hands then she wiped her face with her hand and placed her hands at the edge of the basin.

​​

She sighed and frowned when she remembered how he hushed her and pretended like she didn't just confess to him, she wondered how she is still going to face him when she doesn't even what kind of relationship they are in and if he even cares about her confession.

"Even if he is not happy with me kissing Chen Kai, he should have at least said something, this is so frustrating," she scrunched her lips and lowered her head in frustration but she raised it again with a confident smile on her lips.

{He said he still loves me then there is no way he won't give me a reply, I just have to wait...}

She widened her smile then took off her hands from the edge of the basin to leave the washroom when Xiaomeng entered the washroom, they both frowned upon seeing each other. Although they have met each other many times since she got engaged to Chen Kai, they have aways ignored each other but Xiaomeng always uses every opportunity she has to flaunt Chen Kai in front of her.

She ignored her and walked towards the door.

"How far have you gotten with Han Chen?" Xiaomeng questioned just before she exited the door.

"Excuse me?" she turned around with a quizzical yet irritated look on her face.

"Why do you seem so surprised, everyone in the hospital knows there is something going on between you and surgeon Han Chen but do you know what else they think..." she folded her arms on her chest and walked towards her with a sly look on her face.

"They say now that you don't have Chen Kai to help you climb the social ladder anymore, you have decided to jump ship..oops!" she placed her hand over her mouth with a feigned apologetic look while Yu Yan fixed a narrow gaze on her.

"I shouldn't have said it so bluntly but they have every reason to think so...I mean, isn't it so interesting how you manage to get so close to every handsome and wealthy man around you, come to think of it, Han Chen might not be as great a catch as Chen Kai but he still has his aunt behind him and the chairman of Han Corporate group, if one day you manage to make connections with the Chairman of Han Corporate group who should be his cousin then you will hit the jackpot but I don't think that will ever happen," she smiled broadly and patted her shoulder with an encouraging look in her eyes.

Yu Yan glared at her for a moment then her glare slowly faded to become replaced by a faint but evil smile on her lips, she grabbed her hand on her shoulder then she squeezed it tightly as she moved it away from her shoulder.

"Let me go!" she yelled, feeling the immense pain from her tight squeeze but Yu Yan maintained the smile on her lips as she pushed her to the wall then she glanced at her hand.

"You are a surgeon so I am sure this hand is really important to you, even if everyone says I used Chen Kai and I am also using Han Chen, you should know what the real truth is and who is using who, I used to treat you kindly and ignore everything you do because I pitied you---"

"What! who do you think you are to pity me, Chen Kai is mine now do you hear me, he is mine you b***ch!" she yelled, she just couldn't bear to hear that someone of lower status such as Yu Yan actually has the nerve to pity her.

Her smile faded with a dark and emotionless gaze taking over as she tightened the grip on her hand and bent it backwards.

"You can't compare yourself to me, the only thing that gives you your self-worth is your family status while everything I have in my name has been acquired by my own hard work and effort, if I can jump ship then you should know I no longer give a damn about Chen Kai, since you were so obsessed with him because you so wanted to beat me then you can have him totally but you should tell him to never call me when he gets drunk again..."

She let out a gasp in disbelief...or not.

Yu Yan raised her finger to her lips then she pressed it gently following a wince.

"My lips still hurt from last night," she released her hand and smirked then she turned to leave but Xiaomeng who was still fuming inside pulled her arm then she raised her hand to slap her but Yu Yan swiftly held her hand and sent a resounding slap across her cheeks, causing her hair to scatter all over her face.

Thud!

She turned around only to see two terrified nurses at the entrance looking startled with a phone on the floor.

Xiaomeng raised her head with her hand still on her cheek then she tried to return the slap but Yu Yan held her hand again and sent two simultaneous slaps across her face when she grabbed her neck and pushed her to the wall again while Xiaomeng winced in pain.

"One thing I hate the most is embarrassment but you are the first person to deal me such huge embarrassment, I have kept quiet all these months but that doesn't mean I won't do anything if you keep provoking me.

She moved her face closer to hers.

"You don't want to see the other side of me," she whispered then she exhaled and released her neck, she turned around and gingerly walked out of the washroom while the two nurses quickly moved away for her to pass.

Xiaomeng dropped to the ground with her hands still around her neck. She could still feel her grip on her neck, causing her to cough as she raised her gaze towards the door.

"Y-Yu Yan...."

The stinging pain on her cheeks and the pain on her neck kept her conscious of all that transpired and it ignited the fear of Yu Yan in her, since Yu Yan always turned a blind eye to all the insults and snobbish attitude she has been giving her, she assumed that those who fear her are just scared of the fake front she is putting on but now she realised what they were truly scared off.

The rumours spread around the hospital like wildfire and it was even confirmed when everyone saw the red mark on her neck and her constant coughing.

Yu Yan spent a while in her office to examine her patients' chart then she went into the ward where she is supposed to be doing her morning rounds, unknown to her, the rumour had already gotten there and everyone looked at her strangely, they wondered if they will end up like Xiaomeng if they dare insult her to her face again.

She placed her stethoscope on a patient's chest in his late twenties when two nurses entered the same ward not knowing she was also in there.

"Did you hear about what surgeon Yu Yan did to Surgeon Xiaomeng?" one of them asked the other in an audible whisper.

"Of course I did, I heard nurse Ma and nurse Li were the ones who witnessed it, but how could she choke and slap someone in the hospital, what if she gets sued?" the other responded.

"What are you talking about, I heard she slapped her three times, in her state do you think she will care about that, she must want to kill surgeon Xiaomeng out of jealousy because she is engaged to the chairman's son, but she is also quite pitiful," the nurses remarked.

Yu Yan smiled faintly as she listened to the patient's heartbeat but the patient who heard who they were saying noticed the smile on her lips so he glanced at the card dangling on her neck.

"Surgeon Yu...Yan..." the man pronounced, realizing that the beautiful surgeon with who he has been passing flirtatious glances to and trying to touch since she became in charge of him is actually the one who choked someone, he gulped down his saliva as Yu Yan removed the stethoscope from his chest.

The nurses froze with their eyes widened.

Yu Yan leaned closer to the patient then smiled with her lips curled up.

"Mr patient, I have noticed you have been trying to play funny games with me for a while but as you heard, you might end up getting choked before you leave this hospital if you keep sending me those lustful and flirtatious glances, am I understood?" she maintained the smile on her face, the patient nodded frantically, he didn't think that a beautiful lady such as her would look so evil if she smiled like that with a threat.
