CH 42.1

Chapter 42.1 - Returning Home~

Yisheng probably had never expected that she would meet Lin Ruohan’s mother again. That woman was enchanting. Even at her age, she was still fashionable. On the day of the surgery, she game wearing a tight nylon coat and a white fox shawl. She still looked like a rich lady. Judy was holding onto her arm and the two of them came from the corridor with a cold aura.

“Ruohan, don’t be scared,” Judy leaned against Lin Ruohan’s bed. She looked very worried, but she was trying her best to comfort Lin Ruohan.

Lin Ruohan avoided her hands and turned her gaze to her mother, “Mom, why did you rush here from the capital?”

“I told you not to come to B City, it’s such an unlucky place and you’ve met such  unlucky people,” Lin Ruohan’s mother seemed very angry and glared at Yisheng, her gaze full of hate.

Yisheng, who was standing at the side noticed that the gaze was not friendly and simply said to Lin Ruohan, “The surgery is at ten-thirty, you normally go in half an hour before.”

Lin Ruohan nodded but her mother kept asking, “Who’s the main surgeon? What is their background?”

Lin Ruohan seemed a little helpless, “Mom~”

Yisheng answered, “Song Anchen.”

Lin Ruohan’s mother seemed quite shocked. She stiffly turned her head to look towards Lin Ruohan, looking disappointed, “You… haven’t you learned your lesson yet? Do you want to embarrass yourself again?”

“Mom, he’s a doctor and I’m a patient, that’s all,” Lin Ruohan was suddenly a little tired. She pinched her forehead, her gaze filled with helplessness.

At that moment, the other nurses from the surgery department walked in, it looked like they had to begin the preparations for surgery.

The few people in the room were made to go outside and wait. Yisheng wanted to turn around and leave when Lin Ruohan’s mother suddenly said, “Are your parents alright?”

Yisheng did not know if she was being polite or had other intentions. As a junior, Yisheng answered, “My mother passed away six years ago, my dad’s doing very well now.”

“Your mom passed away? Your dad was let out?”

Yisheng was a little surprised. Lin Ruohan’s mother knew that her dad had gone to prison? Yisheng nodded and before she had time to think about the matter, Lin Ruohan had been pushed out. Her mother’s focus has shifted and Yisheng took the chance to quietly leave.

Yisheng returned to her station and waited for her shift to end. Zhao Jixiang, who was there to take over the next shift walked over wearing her nurse uniform. She sat next to Yisheng and said, “You’re going to be the bride-to-be in three days, are you nervous?”

“The nervous phase has already passed…”

“That’s true, the wedding date has been delayed by almost two months, it’s not even popular news anymore,” Zhao Jixiang got closer to her and muttered, “When I was in the changing room, I heard a nurse say that Doctor Yan is returning.”

Yisheng looked at Zhao Jixiang in shock, it’s only been three months, was he done with his studies?

“I think he must be back to attend your wedding.”

“Senior didn’t tell me,” Yisheng was a little distracted. It seemed that she had been a little ‘distracted by love and forsaken friendship’ lately. She had not looked at MSN or her email in a while. Just as Zhao Jixiang said, when Yisheng went home, she opened her computer and saw a few unread emails, and they were all from her senior. The content was mostly him checking up on her and the recent email was to tell Yisheng that he was returning to the country to prepare to migrate.

Yan Heng’s father was a diplomat and it was unsurprising. Yisheng only felt that it was quite sudden, was he just leaving like that? So, she sent her senior an email. After she pressed on the send button, Yisheng did not think much of it and burrowed into her covers again, waiting for Song Anchen to return home.

But early in the morning the day after her email was sent, her mobile phone rang at a bad time. Yisheng blearily wanted to open her eyes, but she kept failing to. She had to fumble around the bedside table, but heard the refreshing voice of a man nearby, “Hello? Well, she was tired out last night. Okay, bye.”

Yisheng raised her head and saw the already cleaned-up Song Anchen, “Whose phone call is that?”

“Yan Heng,” Song Anchen passed her her clothes and Yisheng grabbed on tightly to the covers. Her white shoulders were exposed and her face was red. She lightly coughed, “Why didn’t you let me answer the phone?”

“I saw that you were still sleeping.”

Bullshit! She had her eyes half-opened as she looked at him and Song Anchen had met her gaze for a moment. Would someone be sleeping with their eyes open?

Yisheng snatched her phone back and dialled her seniors’ phone number. There was a questioning voice coming from the other end, “Hello?”

“Senior,” Yisheng smiled and said, “You’re back?”

“Yep, I flew back in the early morning today, but it seems that I interrupted your sleep,” A gentle voice came from the other end, as gentle as water. Yisheng smiled, a little embarrassed, “You didn’t, I just love to stay in bed.”

“You have work today?”

“Uh,” Yisheng was suddenly dazed. She truly did not remember whether she had work today. She glanced around and saw Song Anchen sitting on the bed and looking at her unhappily.

Yisheng covered the receiver of the phone, asking Song Anchen in a small voice, “Did you apply for leave?”

“I did,” Song Anchen said.

Yisheng told the phone, “I don’t have work today, but I need to accompany Song…” Before Yisheng finished speaking, she felt the cold aura from Song Anchen. She swallowed the ‘Song Anchen’ back and changed what she was saying, feeling somewhat wronged, “I need to accompany my husband to do some wedding things.”

There was a silence on the other end of the phone, “When are you getting married?”

“There are two more days… New Year’s Day.”

“What a coincidence that I’m back. I definitely need to attend,” The voice was a little awkward, “Congratulations on your marriage.”

“Thank you,” The conversation between the two seemed so stiff that they hung up the phone and Yisheng felt that it was over. Song Anchen, who was sitting by the bed, seemed to feel the strange atmosphere. His expression warmed up and he rubbed Yisheng’s hair and said, “Go wash up. We’re going to City A to pick up my father today.”

“Mm.”
