Chapter 48 - The fear of being rejected.

Su Menxiang's eyes widened as she looked up at the male figure forgetting she was on top of a another male body.

"He Yuhan!" She gasped, quickly standing up.

The male doctor looked at her coldly before he glanced at the person beside her. "Who is he?"

Su Menxiang struggled to explain, her mouth opening and closing as she pointed in between the two men, tongue tied.

Mo Bingwen's face darkened when he saw what was going on. He gripped her hands tightly as he commanded. "Speak properly."

He Yuhan coldly sneered when he saw the scene. "Release her now."

Su Menxiang noticed the chilling atmosphere had attracted a lot of attention from the nurses in the background. She grabbed one of the men and said "Brother He, this is all a misunderstanding. He is my fiance, Mo Bingwen."

He Yuhan kept a calm facade though he was surprised at the shocking revelation. The He family has always had a close connection with the Su family after the golden relationship with the Tang family. The He family were masters in the world of medical research which developed a close affinity between the two families.

The He family had just finished buying the betrothal gifts for the Su family, hoping to pick an auspicious date to meet them but it seemed like that had changed.

He finally took a closer look at the man as a realization dawned on him. "Mo Bingwen?" He was from the genius Mo family?

Mo Bingwen didn't even spare the man a glance, his hand wrapped around her waist and the other holding his tablet.

He Yuhan glared at Menxiang as he saw her blushing cheeks, her hands fighting to remove the ones on her waist. "Menxiang, aren't you not supposed to be working? Don't you know we have a lot of patients who need our help? Have you forgotten the oath you took?"

She hung her head low as she said. "Brother He, I now know my wrongs."

Bingwen scoffed, a little disappointed and a little angry at the scene before him. He finally looked at the man. "Then what are you doing here, holding that plastic bag?"

He Yuhan was flustered, his hand shaking as he held the bag of food. He had been worried that she would be hungry after working long hours but she was here instead, dilly dallying with a man. He suddenly felt embarrassed.

Mo Bingwen walked away, not sparing his fiancee a glance. Su Menxiang tried to grab his sleeve but watched it slip past her fingers. Scared, she walked forward to catch up with him when she heard He Yuhan call her. "Menxiang, we have patients to treat."

She stopped, halfway to the entrance. After a while, she sighed turning to face her senior. "Alright. Let's go."

After four days, Honglin stood in front of a full length mirror buŧŧoning his shirt sleeve. He had just been given the permission to be discharged and he was glad to be leaving.

Only then can the final phase of the plan be completed.

He was just smoothening his hair when he heard a knock on the door. "Come in."

A girl entered inside, her hands stretched in front of her feeling and touching space. As he spotted her through the mirror, he turned and came to her immediately and grabbed her hand.

The girl turned her head to her side upon the contact. "Lin-ge?"

He smiled, seeing her confused face. "Chunlan."

She smiled,wrapping her small hands with his. "Help me sit down."

He wrapped his other hand around her waist, helping her sit down. Her eyes seemed to focus on a certain place but couldn't see anything. She placed her hand on her ŀȧp but her mind was filled with curiosity and uncertainty mixed with a certain fear.

He sat down beside her. "What are you doing here?"

She turned her head to the source of the voice. "I heard you were discharged so I came early to catch you before you leave. Are you sure you have recovered?"

"I am well. But you should be resting." His fingers still tingled, as he remembered the feeling of holding her hand. Ever since she started dating Jihai, she didn't hold his hand anymore.

"I heard that we are getting engaged. My father told me about the proposal your family made between us." She said.

He looked away. He had sent men to find scout for prominent doctors all over the world before he made his father give the proposal.

"Was this your idea?" She asked.

"Yes, it was my idea." He could never lie to her.

"Is there something you want to tell me?" She waited for his explanation, calmly.

"I am sure you already know about my feelings towards you." He replied.

She smiled. They were really one of a kind. At least Jihai was humble enough to confess his love for her and he had loved her dearly. " I know."

He leaned back on the chair comfortably, crossing his legs. "Then you would see that it is what is best for us, for our two families. Don't you agree?"

"No, I don't." His body tensed when he heard her reply.

"Why?"

"Because you haven't confessed to me." She retorted.

He fell quiet, his mind running through different motions and different thoughts. Chunlan smiled inwardly, as she knew the reason why he was adamant on not directly confessing his feelings.

Wen Honglin had a deep hidden fear.
