She looked at him. Her gaze was resolute. "Let's date, Tinghao."


The office was quiet. A cold breeze blew into the room and it sent shivers down Fu Tinghao's spine. He reached out to button the top buttons back.


He couldn't believe his ears. For a moment, he feared he had heard the wrong thing. He lifted his head and he looked at her. She was looking at him quietly as though waiting for him to speak.


He couldn't help but shake his head and laughed dryly. But, there was a lack of humor in his voice. 


"Tang Wan, it's not April Fools Day. Can you stop pulling my leg?"[1]


Tang Wan was speechless. She looked carefully at him and realized that he didn't seem to be kidding. He really didn't believe her words. 


She pursed her lips and repeated, "I mean it. Let's date."


Then, she stressed, as though to make her words more believable.


"I love you."


Fu Tinghao was stunned. He stared at her in a daze. It was then he felt the urgency in her words. He could sense the sincerity in those words.


She said she loved him. He was unable to react, trying to comprehend her words. He felt a surge of happiness invade him. It was as though he was in the clouds.


But on the surface, he was calm and his head was lowered. After some time, he looked up at her and gave a small chuckle, "Tang Wan, why do you like playing around like this? Just yesterday, you said you couldn't love anyone. I already accepted my fate that my love will forever be one-sided. But now, you are telling me you love me?"


Tang Wan lowered her head as embarrassment sunk in. He was right. She had been unresponsive to his advances for a long time. And suddenly, she confessed to him. Anyone would feel doubtful.


She opened her mouth to talk but he didn't let her…


He cut in. "I don't love you anymore though."


Tang Wan looked at him. He was staring at her seriously. His eyes were fixated on her and he seemed to be deadly serious.


Of course, she had no idea he was only playing hard to get.


Her heart skipped a beat. As his words sunk in, she felt a surge of panic. Her chest tightened as though there was a hand squeezing it. It was extremely uncomfortable. 


Was this how he felt all this while? No, she could not accept this outcome.


"Fu Tinghao…"


He looked at her. "I can't accept your love." Then, he picked up the light switch remote and clicked on it. The light immediately came on and the surroundings brightened. 


He then turned to the documents on the desk. He picked the blue fountain pen in the pen holder and stated, "I got to work."


He lowered his head and began to write seriously. He didn't look at her anymore. Tang Wan was unable to move as she looked at that handsome face. She felt a strong sense of panic she had not felt in a long time.


She didn't know what suddenly got into her. But, she rushed towards him and grabbed him by the collar.


Then, she grabbed his chin and lifted his face up to look at her. She could vaguely see traces of emotions in his eyes too. But, she couldn't dwell on that anymore.


She lowered her lips to his. She kissed him.

Tang Wan stood by the front doors of the hospital alongside a few patients. She was holding a parcel wrapped in a bag in her left hand. The hospital was especially bustling and crowded today. Everyone wanted to see Fu Tinghao off.


She watched as the staffs and doctors crowded around Fu Tinghao's Jaguar. Some were helping him pack his things into the car but most of them were bidding him and Li Jin farewell.


She could hear them trying to persuade him to stay. Their voices were filled with fervor and reluctance.


Tang Wan couldn't help but quirk a smile at this. She knew it was because he was good at interacting with others and had a good relationship with everyone in the hospital. They were all reluctant to let him go.


 She leaned on a pillar as she watched the hustle and bustle. Suddenly, she heard a sniffle beside her.
