"Then why did you still make it?"

"Because I knew you wanted it so I made it for your birthday but when I showed it you, you were really happy to see it, back then you also asked me if I was obsessed with you,"

​​

"I really don't understand you, if you claim to love me so much then why did you reject me, you are really too complicated for me to understand," her eyes fully expressed her frustration, he held her hand then pulled her with him out of the compartment.

"Where are we going now?"

"Back to the bedroom," he answers precisely but his tone sounded way to wrong in her ears, she pulled him back.

"Why the bedroom?" She questioned with a stuttering voice. He realised what she is thinking so he decided to play along with her dirty thought.

"What do you think people do in the bedroom?" Her eyes widened at the thought of what he means, he curled up his lips then continued.

He placed her gently on the bed to seat her down then he walked away, once he disappeared, she took the chance to escape but just as she got to the door, he scooped her in his arms then carried her towards the bed.

"Hey, you had better not go too far, I may have kissed you but I am definitely not going to sleep with you," she crossed her arms over her chest with a frightened look in her eyes.

He smiled warmly to her surprise then suddenly dropped on one of his knee.

"W...Why are you suddenly kneeling?" she questioned with her brow raised.

He brought out his hand from behind his back then he opened his palm, a small red box with exquisite shape appeared in his hand.

She fixed her eyes on the box in confusion but in her mind she already has a speculation of what he is about to do.

{He is not about to propose, is he...?}

He opened the box, revealing a dazzling ring with simple yet sophisticated design and a medium diamond on it (Author: if only you know the price,).

"Huo Yu Yan, will you marry me?" He proposed in a mellow tone, her heart dropped hearing his proposal.

"Huh!"

"Will you marry me?" He repeated, his heart raced waiting to hear her answer as she looked at him with a flabbergasted expression.

Her mouth was slightly agape in disbelief.

{Did he reject me to propose to me?}

"Don't you think it is too sudden, we haven't even dated yet...?" She itched to have that ring on her finger but she was worried that he might regret this later on.

"Yu Yan, you are the only woman I have ever loved in my heart and even during your absence, I never forgot you for even a second and I think we have already wasted enough time...I really can't wait to make you my woman forever," his soft voice touched her soul and her heart rammed against her chest, she has never thought of this day with him because she thought she will be satisfied with being with him for even a day.

"Yes, as much as you want me to be your woman forever, I also want you to be mine forever and ever," she extended her finger with a broad smile on her lips and her eyes teary.

His smile widened almost to his eyes, he held her finger then looked into her eyes before sliding the ring into her finger.

He stood up then sat next to her on the bed and hugged her tightly.

"Isn't it amusing?"

"What is?" She questioned with her arms around his neck.

"Everything, you telling me how you feel, kissing, showing you the compartment and our teenage memory and the proposal, most of all...you are now my woman...my fiancée," his voice carried deep sentiments that she felt deep in her heart, she wondered just how long he prepared for this day and how much he wanted it to have already had a ring ready to propose to her.

She pulled away gently then she cupped his face on her hands.

"Everything is happening so fast but I can tell I want it more than ever, I really love you," she smiled warmly which he reciprocated, he lowered her head to press a kiss on her forehead.

They drove to work the next day together then they entered the hospital together unlike when she used to create a distance between them.

As they walked past the patients and staffs from the reception, everyone could feel a different aura around them, the expression on their faces just made the progress in their relationship just too obvious, leaving everyone to wonder just how far they have gotten.

Now that they have a office to themselves, it just made it more interesting for them.

As soon as they entered the office and settled down, she picked up some of her patients chart and proceeded to do her rounds but as she got to the door, she noticed the blinds dropped.

She turned around only to see him walking towards her.

In the instant, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to the glass wall then he placed his other hand on the wall.

"I need to do my rounds..." she whispered

"Why the rush..." he lifted her chin then kissed her lips softly, then he pulled back.

"You can go now,"

She smiled shyly then quickly rushed out of the office.

He dipped his hands in his pocket and licked his lips with his eyes fixed on her until she disappeared from his sight.

She entered the elevator to go to the patient ward but she was about to press the button when she saw Jia Yu running towards the elevator.

She halted and waited for her to enter while preparing herself for the interrogation, as soon as she got in, she pressed the button but then a foot appeared to block the elevator from closing.

"Excuse me," Chen Kai appeared then he entered the elevator with them.

Both ignored him then Yu Yan closed the elevator but she really hoped Jia Yu won't interrogate her while Chen Kai is in the elevator with them.

"Why did you suddenly travel to the countryside?" Jia Yu questioned with her hands in her pocket, Yu Yan tried to give her a sign to wait until Chen Kai is out but she ignored it.

"Something just came up, I will explain later," she answered.

"If you say so," she had just looked away from Yu Yan when her eyes fell on the simple yet intricate ring her on her finger...the fourth finger.

Her eyes widened at the sight of the ring, she definitely recognise that ring to be her late aunt engagement ring.

"Yu Yan...when did Han Chen propose to you?" she queries with her finger pointing at the ring, Chen Kai immediately took a look, his eyes widened at the sight but Yu Yan quickly covered her hand.

"I will explain it to you later," she responded knowing that Chen Kai is staring at her, she really doesn't want to spend a minute with him here.

Whilst she is still in shock, the elevator opened.

"Aren't you getting off?" She asked, noticing that Jia Yu is still fixed on the ring on her finger but the latter still didn't budge, Yu Yan had no choice but to push her out gently.

"Hey wait..."

The elevator door closed.

The atmosphere became tense, she really hope he won't ask anything or say anything because she really doesn't want him to ruin her happy mood.

"Did he really propose to you?"

She shut her eyes tightly in irritation but she decided to ignore him after all, the elevator will soon open.

"Yu Yan..."

Just then, the elevator opened, she rushed out of the elevator then he followed behind her but because of the crowd, he can't follow after her so he went his way.

She turned back after a while to confirm he is gone, seeing that he is out of sight, she heaved a sigh of relief.

She finished her rounds soon after but it really lifted her mood to know that most of her patients are doing well, before that used to be her greatest source of joy but now that Han Chen is in her life, it has become her second.

She finished taking note of the last patient's condition so she left the ward but she remembered the patient with a late stage liver cirrhosis.

She decided to head there to see how the patient is doing.

She met the patient's wife seating beside him with his hand in hers and a teenage girl seating beside her, she smiled then walked up to them.

"Ma'am," she called as soon as she got to their side, she lifted her head only to see the surgeon who gave her hope but disappeared a while after.

The smile on her face faded seeing the haggard look on the woman's face.

"Are you okay, you look so worn out?" She asked with a concerned look on her face, the woman stood up with an expression that looked like she is about to tear up.

"Please let's speak somewhere else," she walked out of the ward even before Yu Yan could answer, she deduced that something must have happened in her absence, she gave the teenage girl a reassuring nod then followed after her mother.
