CHAPTER 5 FRUSTRATION

"All I require is a 'yes' or 'no.' I need an answer."

As he talked, Qin Chu's expression got to be startlingly cold.

"Chu, we did it for your claim great. It's all in the past besides. Just…" Qin Chu shot up to his feet some time recently Mrs. Qin indeed had the chance to finish.

"I knew it."

He had as of now gotten the reply he required from his mother's tone. Having anticipated this all along, Qin Chu got up. Without another word, he strolled upstairs to his room on the moment floor.

"Chu, eat some time recently you head upstairs to rest," Mrs. Qin called out to her son's withdrawing figure, concerned for his well-being.

However, instep of a answer, all she got was a chilling see of her son's back.

"Yumin… Chu… he… seem he still be hung up on that damn young lady? It's been so long, and presently he's at last domestic. Goodness, I trust nothing else goes off-base. What do you think?" Mrs. Qin was cleared out to some degree shaken by her son's attitude.

It had been seven a long time, and her child was at last back in the nation. She truly didn't need things to get as terrible between them as it had been some time recently, all since of a woman.

"Never intellect it. He's a developed man presently and can make choices by himself." With that, Qin Yumin picked up his chopsticks and started to eat angrily.

"Haha, clarify? What do you have cleared out to clarify?6." Ning Zhiyuan inquired Huo Mian with an unsettlingly cold and far off attitude.

1.It was as if he wasn't the sweet and caring man that she had dated for three years.

2.So much had changed inside the span of a single night...

3."Zhiyuan, we've been together for three a long time. Do not you know me?"

Ning Zhiyuan looked up at Huo Mian's confront and grinned, "I truly do not, dear. If it weren't for final night, I truly would've thought that you were a immaculate goddess who I seem adore and care for. Who would have known that the goddess I thought you were was fair a exterior? You as of now rested with somebody seven a long time back... how ancient were you back at that point? Eighteen? Huo Mian, I at long last see how improper you are. No ponder you chose to date me ... it appears like I was getting somebody else's leftovers."

Ning Zhiyuan deliberately emphasized the word 'leftovers' ...

Even Nurture He Man, a bystander, turned to see at Huo Mian with stun and doubt. In spite of the fact that Huo Mian was confronted with Ning Zhiyuan's pitiless words, she felt more disillusioned than hurt.

She seem not accept that such guileful words would come from the mouth of a man who looked so tender and kind...

Huo Mian gave Ning Zhiyuan a disillusioned see some time recently gradually saying, "Zhiyuan, everybody has a past. What happened between me and Qin Chu is as of now history..."

"Shut up and halt appearing off your ex-boyfriend. I discover him appalling. Who does he think he is? Does driving an Audi R8 make him cool? If you like him so much, why do not you go make up with him and take off me alone?"

7."Zhiyuan, you may not be calm right presently and I know that you are irate. When individuals are irate, they make silly choices and conclusion up lamenting it. I'll provide you time to calm down and we can conversation later."

After talking, Huo Mian turned around and left...

Ning Zhiyuan was a small distressed...

4.He sought Huo Mian for a entirety three a long time, astounding everybody at their therapeutic school. He had in fact fallen in cherish with her, but he might never acknowledge his fiancee's dishonorable past.

4.Not to specify that her ex-boyfriend challenged to brag approximately it and indeed kissed her yesterday.

7.He and Huo Mian had been together for so long, however they've never rested together. All this modern data approximately her past was not simple to process.

8."Doctor Ning, I can't accept that Huo Mian is so silly. What a disgrace," He Man

muttered beneath her breath.

"Why is that a disgrace?" Ning Zhiyuan scowled lightly.

"A disgrace that a man like you went to squander, of course. So numerous medical caretakers in our office think you're a incredible capture," He Man said with a grin on her face.

Ning Zhiyuan pressed together his lips...

5.Truth be told, Ning Zhiyuan was very alluring and looked to some degree like the primary character from a Korean dramatization. In enormous healing centers like this, most going to doctors were middle-aged men in their forties. More youthful specialists were uncommon and, in this manner, were much more popular.

Many medical caretakers had confessed their sentiments to him in the past, but he as of now had Huo Mian. They were going to purchase an flat together and get hitched, so he never thought much almost anything else.

Now that something of this caliber had happened between them, maybe it was time for him to begin reevaluating things.

"Really? Am I that well known?" grinning, Ning Zhiyuan asked.

"Of course."

As those words gotten away He Man's mouth, Ning Zhiyuan brought down his head and drawn closer her lips, inquiring, "Hmm… does that incorporate you?"

He Man grinned, her eyes narrowing into openings as she prodded back, "What do you think?"

Ning Zhiyuan and the nurture proceeded to be a tease in the ophthalmology clinic...

5.Meanwhile, in the OB/GYN Division, Huo Mian was in no state to work. 5.Her heart was somewhere else and her intellect wandered.

"Huo Mian, do you know how numerous times I've called you?" the head nurture furiously shouted.

Qin Chu went back to his room. Picking up his cell phone, he dialed a number.

"Check something out for me as before long as conceivable," he said and at that point instantly hung up.

Then, he gradually opened one of the drawers and took out a yellowing photograph.

1.There was a young lady in the picture with a pig tail. She was beautiful and had particular facial highlights. The match of dimples that showed up when she grinned were adorable.

The truth that she was wearing a loose school uniform didn't make her any less beautiful.

"Mian, I've missed you so much."

He talked in a moo, rough voice like a man who was pitifully in love.

His recollections followed back to the scene in the photo, taken seven a long time ago.

2.Blue skies, white clouds, school grounds, and… the young lady he loved.

The another morning -

3.Huo Mian got up early and boarded the transport to the healing center where she worked. After she wrapped up going to to her possess obligations, she gotten the pork bone soup she had made that morning and went to discover Ning Zhiyuan. 3.She needed to clarify to him what had happened yesterday.

At the Outpatient Ophthalmology Division -

When Huo Mian went in, she found He Man, one of the medical attendants, carefully dressing the wound on Ning Zhiyuan's forehead.

"Geez, how did this happen, Specialist Ning? How can you be so careless?" The female nurse's voice was misleadingly high-pitched, in a way that made individuals uncomfortable.

"Zhiyuan," Huo Mian called out delicately by the door.

Both of them turned around to confront her. Ning Zhiyuan's expression was clear as his look fell upon Huo Mian. There was no telling what he was considering of.

"Ah, Huo Mian, you're here. You two go on and chat, I'll leave."

"Don't go." Ning Zhiyuan abruptly come to out and gotten He Man. "Wrap up fixing up my wound."

"Doctor Ning, um… you ought to truly let your sweetheart tend to you," He Man said as she chuckled awkwardly.

Huo Mian needed to say something, but some time recently she might, she listened Ning Zhiyuan spat out word by word, "She is not my sweetheart anymore."

"What did you say?" Huo Mian's somewhat frowned.

"I said, we broke up recently. You're not my sweetheart any longer, and I'm not commendable of an upper-class sweetheart like you. So why do not you go discover your super wealthy ex-boyfriend? He has extravagance cars and a chateau, and I'm fair a destitute specialist. You would be doing yourself a injury if you proceeded to remain with me!" Ning Zhiyuan's tone was petulant.

Huo Mian took a profound breath. "Zhiyuan," she said, her expression calm, "I came here nowadays to clarify what happened final night."

"Yes, Head Nurse."

"I told you to get me a few surgical veils. Have you gone deaf?"

"Yes, I'll go get them now."

"Mian, what's off-base? Is there something on your intellect? Do you require to take the day off? I feel like you've been diverted all day," the unused nurture, Huang Yue, inquired with a indicate of concern.

Exhausted, Huo Mian shook her head.

She had been languid this whole day. What was more awful was that it wasn't indeed since of the cold-war circumstance with Ning Zhiyuan.

She had been considering approximately the man that she shouldn't be considering about.

Was he truly back? What happened final night wasn't a dream, was it?

Her trance kept going until her move finished. 1.Huo Mian changed from her white nurse's uniform into a pastel-blue dress. Snatching her sack, she strolled out.

She was fair in time to capture locate of Ning Zhiyuan's white Chevrolet, which was stopped exterior of the front entrance.

He had fair bought it final month. Since they were arranging on getting hitched, Ning Zhiyuan's guardians had made a difference pay for the car. This, along with their claim pay rates, summed up to over a hundred thousand Yuan. It was a beautiful good-looking ride.

The permit plate perused 0510, which was Ning Zhiyuan's birthday. It was him for sure.

Did he halt here to hold up for her?

Just as Huo Mian was around to walk over and inquire, she saw He Man, who was wearing a miniskirt. She sprinted over to the car and, after rapidly opening the entryway, jumped onto the traveler seat.

Then, the car sped off...

Light depleted from Huo Mian's eyes, bit by bit. She unhurriedly pulled out her cell phone and made a call.

"What is it?" On the other conclusion, Ning Zhiyuan sounded annoyed.

"Is your move over? I require a ride home."

"Not however. I have another surgery. I'll be working additional time so you can go domestic to begin with. Do not call me for no reason. Bye."

With that, Ning Zhiyuan hung up the phone.

2.Huo Mian grinned wryly; she knew why Ning Zhiyuan was lying. He was attempting to get vindicate on her.

However, what he did was fair low.

Huo Mian abruptly got the feeling that the conventional man she had dated for three a long time was no longer ordinary.

She looked up at the sky. It was dim, fair like her mood.

Then, Zhu Lingling called...

"Mian, are you off work now?"

"Yeah."

"Come to my put, I'm off nowadays and made something yummy for you. It's marinated pork trotters!"

"That's great, I happen to be hungry as well. Hold up for me." Hanging up, Huo Mian hailed down a cab and headed towards Zhu Lingling's home.

Zhu Lingling's guardians lived by the city edges. To make her commute to work simpler, she had leased a cozy small put close the airport.

Whenever she had the time, Huo Mian would go over to mooch off her nourishment. It appeared that, aside from domestic and the clinic, that was the as it were put she might go.

Setting the pork trotters on the table, Zhu Lingling started drifting off some time recently Huo Mian indeed had the chance to eat. She was inquiring approximately what happened yesterday.

Unable to bear the assault, Huo Mian described the occasions for her in a moderately point by point fashion…

Of course, she kept a few of the more provocative points of interest, such as the constrained kiss, to herself, as it were brushing over them.

"That's what happened. You're welcome to comment, Miss Zhu Lingling."

3.Huo Mian gazed at Zhu Lingling with pressed together lips and enormous damp doe-eyes. It was a charming look.

"Gosh, that's seriously. So, what you're saying is Mr. Blueblood Qin Chu proposed to you recently?" Zhu Lingling gazed back at her with a see of surprise.

"Girl, if it's not too much trouble. That's not the issue here. 4.The issue is that Zhiyuan doesn't believe me any longer and needs to break up..." Huo Mian complained.

"Mian, tell me the truth. Do you still cherish Qin Chu?" Zhu Lingling inquired, dead serious.

Huo Mian solidified upon hearing this address

At that point, she turned to see out the window with a complicated expression on her confront. It was a whereas some time recently she at last reacted, "What does it matter if I cherish him or not? Things happened. There's no taking them back, and there's no changing how things turned out."

Zhu Lingling listened a overwhelming despairing in Huo Mian's voice. She felt a veritable throb of sorrow for her friend.

"Mian, when we were in tall school, the truth that you and Qin Chu got together was what made me accept that pixie stories can be genuine. You were both such extraordinary individuals ... how did it ever get to where it is nowadays? It's such a feel sorry for. I'm going to say something, but you can't get frantic. I've continuously felt like Ning Zhiyuan wasn't great sufficient for you. I cruel, back in school, you were…"

Huo Mian cut Zhu Lingling brief some time recently she may finish.

"Lingling, halt. It's all in the past. No matter how I feel approximately Qin Chu, there's no way we can ever be together once more. You know what happened, that occurrence seven a long time back, and what it did to me. I've as of now misplaced my family. What might be more regrettable than that? I truly wish that I was the one who passed on back then."

At this point, Huo Mian's voice caught in her throat.

Zhu Lingling was mindful of what happened. It was that occurrence which made Huo Mian stow away absent her brilliant air, leaving to gotten to be a tottering part of the common masses.

Zhu Lingling put a hand on Huo Mian's bear and comforted, "Mian, tune in to me. It's been so long so halt faulting yourself. Haven't you been attempting to make up for it all these a long time? I do not think you can put all the fault on Qin Chu either. You know exceptionally well that he had been out of the nation for a long time. Considering how he felt around you, I do not think there's any way he seem have known approximately what happened."

"So what? He's still a part of the Qin Family, isn't he? Can he truly shake off all the fault for what his family did?" Huo Mian's eyes were ruddy as she demanded.

"Mian..." Zhu Lingling appeared to need to say more.

However, she was cut brief when she saw Huo Mian raise a hand. "Lingling, you do not have to say anything else. You're my best companion, and I know that you're fair telling me what you think is best for me, but… you can't conceivably get it the things I've experienced. Let me make up my claim intellect almost this, okay?"

"Alright, I fair trust that, anything you choose, you do not off-base yourself. I've seen how difficult the past few a long time have been for you. I truly wish that you seem return to being the high-and-mighty Huo Mian from some time recently, the one who wouldn't let anybody else impact her."

Huo Mian grinned sharply but didn't reply.

All she needed was to have a great time eating pork trotters. In any case, with the overwhelming subject of Qin Chu hanging in the discuss, she no longer had an appetite.

She scarcely touched the nourishment some time recently rapidly clearing out her friend's place.

On her way back, she pondered if she ought to call Ning Zhiyuan once more. After all, she was in the off-base first.

Just as she pulled out her phone and was around to dial, it rang.

The caller ID shown her small brother's number.

She picked up promptly, "Zhixin."

"Sis, rush. You require to come to the clinic. Mother collapsed." On the other conclusion, Jing Zhixin's voice was fashioned with anxiety.

"What? Mother collapsed? How? Which clinic? I'll head over right now."

"We're at the Fourth People's Healing center, the one close domestic. Come to the seventh floor, room 709."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Hanging up, Huo Mian's expression was bothered. "Sir, if it's not too much trouble turn around and go to the Fourth People's Hospital!"

Twenty minutes later-

Huo Mian hurried up the stairs and jumped through the entryways of a clinic room.

Her mother was lying on a bed, still oblivious. Her confront was pale, and she was wearing an oxygen mask.

Beside her was a boy in his late youngsters wearing a dark Nike tracksuit. His hair was a bit long and his facial highlights were or maybe delicate.

He was Huo Mian's half-brother, Jing Zhixin, and they were related on their mother's side.

"Sis, you're here."

"Zhixin, what happened to mother? Weren't you at school? Why are you at the healing center?
