After they were done attending to the patients they were supposed to check on and completing other works they needed to do, they packed up and left the office. Although Xiaomeng wasn't close to An Ke and Yu Yan, she was still friends with Li Chen and the other three so she was also going out with them, the party was supposed to be held in a villa that was owned by Jia yu's parents so many of their friends were coming for the party including some of the staffs at the hospital.
Li Chen went with An Ke and Xiaomeng went in her own car, An Ke would never have agreed to enter the same car with Xiaomeng but she didn't know about it until it was time for them to leave for the party, he knew that they were going to bicker throughout the journey but he couldn't refuse Xiaomeng request to go with him when she said she was too tired to drive.
Yu Yan went to the reception and waited for Xiao Qi after finishing her shift, thirty minutes later, Xiao Qi arrived at the reception then they both went to the parking lot where Yu Yan parked her car, she was about to enter the car when she met heard someone calling her name, she just knew that that voice belonged to someone she wouldn't want to see and her suspicion was confirmed.
She turned back to see who it was then her face immediately turned black when she saw Alan Chen walking towards her, she sighed and rolled her eyes knowing that seeing him has never meant anything good for her.
" it seems like you girls are also going to the party," Alan Chen said with a mischievous look on his face, the both of them couldn't help but scoff at his stupidity, Yu Yan and the other three were clearly the ones who arranged for the party and he is speaking as if they were the ones who are being invited to the party.
"yeah and it seems like you are also attending for the party," Xiao qi said with a malicious look on her face as she folded her arms on her chest, he pursed his lips and frowned at her then he looked away from her and focused his gaze on Yu Yan, she was immediately disgusted at the lecherous look he was giving her.
"I must say, Yu Yan, you are looking very dazzling today," Alan Chen said with his eyes fixed on her body, she immediately recognised that look on his face, he had that same shrewd look on his face the first time she met him, she was going for a party at An Ke's house when she met him, he tried to harass her even though he saw her with Chen Kai before Chen Kai could even defend yu yan, she had already given him a round horse kick which sent him flying, when he landed he couldn't stand up by himself, he was carried to the hospital the next day and recovered two days later, she wanted to do the same thing she did back then when she saw the look on his face but she felt like it wasn't an appropriate place for her to beat him up.
"Thank you, assistant director, we will take our leave now," yu yan said with a halfhearted smile on her lips then she quickly changed it into a frown as she entered the driver seat while Xiao Qi sat next to her, he watched as she entered the car thinking that she would turn back to look at him at least once but to his dismay, she didn't.

"I really wished we met outside if we did I would have given him the beating of his life," Yu Yan said as she gave the steering wheel a slight hit in anger then she bit her lower lips in regret.
" that bastard is so useless, I wonder what Yue ling sees in him," Xiao Qi said.
" I am just hoping he would do something wrong at the party, I won't miss the opportunity to remind him that I am not the kind of girl he should be messing with," Yu Yan said then she spun the steering wheel aggressively.
They both chatted until they reached the villa, the gate opened automatically and Yu Yan parked her car in the parking lot, they both went into the villa at the same time. As soon as Yu Yan entered, all eyes were on her, they all admired her beauty as she walked into the villa, some of their friends who graduated the same university as they were also at the party.
Although Yu yan wasn't the best dressed at the party, her beauty was still unmatched among all the guest present. Yu yan and Xiaoqi walked up to Jia yu and Meng Yao, on seeing her they both hugged her at the same time, while they were still in university Jia yu and Meng Yao was the best in the karate club after Yu Yan, the three girls went for several competitions to represent their university and they never lost any of the competitions, if they weren't obstinate on pursuing their dreams to become surgeons, they would have won many championships.
" Yu Yan it has been so long since we saw you, I missed you so much," Jia Yu said with a bubbly smile on her face as she hugged Yu Yan tightly.
"I missed you guys too, ever since you both left, karate had become boring for me," yu yan said after she was released from Jia Yu's tight grip, while she was still talking to the both of them, Ji Chen appeared looking very charming, he was wearing a skinny tuxedo blazer in navy velvet, with a black roll neck jumper and a black vattal leather derby shoes, he styled his medium length hair in a thick brush up, he was also one of the many guys that had a crush on yu yan while they were in university but he got together with Jia Yu who also had a crush on him while they were abroad. he hugged yu yan as soon as he saw her.
"as expected you are still looking so beautiful," he said with a radiant smile, he moved on to his girlfriend and kissed her on her cheek.
"It seems like our Ji Chen still sees Yu Yan as his goddess," Xiao Qi said to tease him seeing how he hugged Yu Yan first before moving on to his girlfriend.
"I don't even know if I am the one he loves or Yu Yan," Jia Yu said jokingly, Ji Chen put his hand around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
"you are the one I love but she is the goddess I admire," he said and gave her a light kiss on her lips.
"oooooooohhh!" they all shouted in excitement.
Yu yan went to the wine table to get herself a glass of wine, she picked up a glass of champagne and sipped a little from her champagne, she folded one of her arms across her chest as she turned around to look at everyone in the party, she noticed some of her university friends that she had lost contact with but she didn't want to approach them, she was still looking around when she saw Alan approaching her, she rolled her eyes at the sight of him and was about to walk away before he reached where she was standing but he realised what she was about to do and quickly caught up with her.

He held her wrist to stop her from walking away, she pushed his hand away from her wrist and turned to face him.
" Alan Chen we are not at work so I don't have any reason to speak to you with respect, can you please say what you have to say, I need to speak to my friends," she said with a deep frown on her face, he picked up a glass of red wine for himself from the waiter that passed him by and took a sip from his wine.
"Yu Yan I just want to be close to you but why do you keep rejecting me each time I make an effort to be good to you," he said in a sentimental tone.
"Alan you and I know that getting close to me is not what you want if that was your only motive we would have long been friends," Yu Yan said with a serious look on his face, after hearing what she had just said, he shook his head to admit her statement.
"yes what you said is true but why can't I just get a chance with you, no girl has ever rejected me as you have always done, I have focused all my attention on you but you are just unwilling to give me a chance, why?"
" Listen to yourself, you don't love me at all, all you want is to make me yours just because of your pride, then once you get what you want you will move to another girl who has proved herself difficult for you to get" yu yan said as she dropped her glass on the wine table and walked out on him, he went after and grabbed both of her shoulders.
"Yu Yan no girl has ever frustrated me as you have, I must get you no matter what it takes," he said while breathing heavily in anger, she looked around to make sure that the people present at the party weren't watching them, then when she confirmed that no one was looking, she brushed his hands off her shoulder and moved closer to him, she tilted her head close to his ears.
"You son of a bitch, if you dare harass me again you will be doing so at the expense of getting hurt, you seem to have forgotten our first encounter", she said then she moved away from him and walked away, he stood in the same spot watching her leave with anger and frustration burning inside him.
She walked back to where he and her friends were chatting, she saw them seated and laughing out loudly.
"It seems like I have missed a lot," she said as she took her seat close to Li Chen wondering what they had been discussing.
" you did miss a lot, we were talking about our days in university, An Ke just mentioned when Ji Chen just met you and asked you out, you treated him like a small boy who was just playing around and rejected him," Jia Yu said while trying to stop herself from laughing.
"oh, back then Ji Chen was just so cute and handsome that I thought he was a high school student who came to see someone in the university, so I kept asking him for the person he was coming there to see, when he showed me his student card I was shocked, I almost fell for him but he was just looking too cute that I couldn't help but think of him as a small boy," she said as she joined them laughing.
" I was so frustrated back then, she just kept calling me cutie since that day, it was so annoying," Ji Chen said, then he took a sip from the glass of champagne he held in his hand.
"do you guys remember when he first saw Chen Kai with Yu Yan and found out that they were dating, he almost sat on the floor in tears, he was about to make a scene in the canteen, but I quickly dragged him out, I am sure he still hates Chen Kai till now" Meng Yao added
" you are definitely exaggerating, I admit that I was almost in tears but not to the extent of sitting on the floor, the reason why I disliked Chen kai back then was that when I confronted him after finding out that he was dating Yu Yan, he treated me like a small boy who was throwing tantrums and ignored me," Ji Chen said, they all burst into laughter after hearing what he had just said.
"Why don't we talk about someone else now, you are all bullying him," Jia Yu said.
" We can talk about you, do you remember when you fought with yu yan because of Ji Chen and you even followed him to the training abroad," Meng Yao said, they all turned to look at Jia yu as they were anticipating her reply, she cleared her throat and smiled awkwardly.
"It wasn't a fight, it was just a little argument, Afterall all my effort paid off," Jia Yu said then she linked her arms with Ji Chen's arms
" oooooooooh!!!"
"By the way where did you go to before," Xiao Qi asked facing Yu Yan.
" I just went to get a glass of wine but I was stopped by Alan Chen after getting my glass of wine," yu yan said as her face turned black.
" through the expression on your face I can see that you guys had a little bit of argument," An Ke said.
" you mean that guy is still chasing after you," Li Chen said with annoyance written all over his face,
" Seems like that guy is really relentless," he added then he scoffed, the other three just watched them in confusion since they didn't know who Alan Chen is.
"If Chen kai was here, he definitely wouldn't dare to bother you," Xiaoqi said
" When is he coming back anyways, he went for medical training abroad the same time they went although it wasn't the same country" Xiao Qi continued.
" he told me he is coming back soon in about two to three months' time", " seems like we will be throwing another party soon," Jia Yu said.
They all discussed for some time after the party ended, they all stayed in the villa while the rest of the guests left, the girls all slept in the same room while the guys slept together too even though there was more than enough bedrooms. Before Yu Yan slept, she called her parents to tell them that she will be spending the night at Jia Yu's place, they were happy that she had called, after speaking to her parents for a while, she dropped her phone and slept.

LIlith's Firstborn
The legend says that the Forbidden Fruit made the first two humans – Adam and Eve – intelligent, but what if it was the other way around? What if the Forbidden Fruit took most of their humility, their intelligence, their kindness, etc. away and turn them into the discriminating, angry, and hateful humans that they are? What if the only way to turn back into their former selves was to lead a good life on Earth to cleanse their souls? The legend also says that Lilith was a demoness who fled from Heaven and was granted mercy when she showed humility and proved that her soul was still worthy of saving despite all her wrongdoings. What if, after centuries of sinning, Lilith finally found her way back to kindness? What if God forgave Lilith for her crimes? What if she gave birth to a baby after she had repented? And what if that baby is the only human soul in existence that isn’t tainted by the Forbidden Fruit or her past sins? Tallitanya of Lilith inherited her mother’s immortality and grew up at a rate much slower than an average human so she had witnessed the rise and fall of empires even though she is physically and mentally 21 years old. She was born on Earth, but she moved to Heaven when she was physically 5 years old and didn’t return until she was 18 years old. She was tasked, by God himself, to guard over the Forbidden Tree which had since been replanted on an isolated island on Earth. She loves that job, and she loves that she was given direct instructions instead of having to figure out what God’s so-called ‘mysterious plans’ for her was. Centuries went by. Tallitanya is 21 years old when the Final Judgement is nigh. As an immortal who has yet to have a real affiliation with Heaven or Hell, Tallitanya has received a personal invitation from the Antichrist who wishes to recruit Tallitanya. Heaven also sends its angel – Michael – to inform Tallitanya that as a human, her soul would also be judged by God. She was ordered to leave her post as the Forbidden Tree’s guardian so that she could get to know the other humans before she makes an actual decision about who she wants to align herself with. The second she steps out of the island, it disappears. Turns out, her message from God was faked, and so was her mission. The devil had tricked her, and as the guardian of the Forbidden Tree, she must recover the tree and the island, or humanity will perish within the year.
