"If I can't meet your chairman then there is no need to say more,"

The managing director was taken aback by his decisiveness, he stood up after him.

​​

"This partnership is a good chance to restore the losses and also help you gain profit, you need this more than we do so are you sure you want to miss this chance,"

He smiled then stepped closer to him with a smirk.

"You don't have to be concerned about my company, without the partnership deal I already have a solution," he lied with confidence hoping he won't have to accept this deal at the end whilst knowing there is a motive that he probably doesn't like behind it.

He straightened his suit jacket then exhaled gently.

"I will take my leave now...oh...tell your chairman that he might be someone of a higher status but he shouldn't mess with me or I wouldn't stay down," he narrowed his gaze threateningly then turned to leave.

The managing director stood still in belief, he has never encountered such a situation before and even though he knows the chairman's action is personal and not just business, he still finds it ridiculously interesting.

He dialled a number and raised the phone to his ear.

"Hello," Han Chen said at the other end, he already has his expectations for the meeting but he still wanted to hear the result from the managing director in case he is wrong.

"Chairman, I don't know why you insisted on this but I must say that this is the most interesting business opponent I have ever met though I am not sure if he is really an opponent or your plaything," the managing director remarked with his excitement of taking down this person evident in his voice.

"I guess he rejected the deal just like I thought, I can assure you that you will have the opportunity to play with him,"

"So what next?" His tone turned serious and professional

"I want to have total control over Chen group, to be more specific....I want Chen hospital as soon as possible and secretly, I am sure you know what I mean by this," his tone turned authoritative and determined, the managing director could tell that this is perhaps the most important task he has on ground and failure to successfully execute it will result in dire consequences.

"I will start taking actions immediately," he reassuringly responded, then Han Chen disconnected the call.

Meanwhile, Yu Yan who had just arrived outside the room was still deciding on whether or not to enter as she doesn't know how to face him after all that but she finally decided to enter.

She opened the door silently but the creaking sound made him drop his phone instantly as he is still pretending his arm and legs are not healed yet.

"You are here," he grinned awkwardly upon seeing her but he wondered if she saw him

holding the phone to his ear.

She hummed in response then proceeded to seat beside him, she placed the flask she is carrying on the side table then faced him but she averted his gaze.

"I went out for dinner last night so I decided to bring this for you," he used his left arm to bring down the flask then he opened it only for the delicious aroma to fill the room.

He grinned widely and gulped down his saliva but then he decided to tease her.

"This is very hot for something you bought yesterday and it also looks home-cooked, that restaurant must be really good,"

She flinched at his words but she didn't want to admit she made it herself this morning so she decided to cover it up.

"Yeah...I reheated it this morning," she responded, he nodded his head in response as though he believes her but he doesn't.

"You will have to feed me then...."

Her brows furrowed as she was startled hearing him say she needs to feed him, he raised his hand to remind her that his right arm is not yet healed, she opened her mouth to refuse but he cut her out.

"I can't eat with my left hand so don't ask me too," she rolled her eyes in regret of bringing him the soup cos now she has to feed him.

She took the flask from him then took out the spoon from the side of the flask, she scooped a spoonful then raise it to his mouth.

He smiled inwardly then opened his mouth wide to take it in, she fed him a few times more like a mother who is careful with overstuffing his mouth until someone entered.

They froze with the spoon hanging in her hand almost into his mouth.

The doctor smiled teasingly then walked towards them with a chart in her hand.

"I can see your relationship has improved," the older doctor remarked as she came closer to them, Yu Yan quickly dropped the spoon and stood up to refute her remark.

"This is a misunderstanding, he can't eat because his right arm is still not healed so..."

"What are you talking about, his chart says both his arms and legs are healed, I was just about to tell him he has to remove the cast," she disclosed without restraint despite the signs Han Chen kept giving her.

She scoffed then turned to him with an angry flare in her eyes.

"It must have been quite fun deceiving me," he opened his mouth to speak but she already made towards the door, the doctor stood in the middle of the ward not knowing what to do or what mistake she just made.

He sighed and cupped his face in his palm knowing she must be quite vexed but he resented the doctor.

Meanwhile, Xiaomeng who had already gone to check up on him in his office but failed to see him when she arrived at work decided to check up on him again.

She was happy to see through the glass that he is in the office so she knocked gently before receiving permission to enter.

She pushed her hair behind her ear as she entered and smiled warmly.

"Why did you leave so early, I thought..."

"I am sorry, I had to take care of the problem in the company as soon as possible," he answered with a deep frown which she interpreted as an unsuccessful attempt.

"How did it go?"

"I got a partnership deal from Han Corporate group but I refused it, the content of the deal is too favourable to us for a company that just took over our subsidiaries," he complained with his anger evident in his voice, she stood up from her seat and went around the table to his side.

She pressed the remote to pull down the blind then she took her seat on the table.

"You don't have to worry about this, I already contacted my dad on the way here and he already agreed to help you, although he can't help you get back the subsidiaries he can help you get the monetary loss," she placed her hand on his shoulder and smiled warmly as she stared into his eyes.

He didn't know what to say about this but he knows for one that once she starts rendering him help in situations like this then it will only make him more bound to her.

He reciprocated the smile while she suddenly pulled him by his tie and kissed him deeply, he just went along with her even though his kiss is empty.

Other than the company's problem, his mind has also been filled with guilt for making love to her cos now he cannot just abandon her like he intended to.

...

A month later

During these months, Yu Yan has been bothered with the dreams but thankfully she doesn't have to see herself in a terrifying position but somehow the girl in her dream keeps getting anxious and that anxiousness is always deep-rooted in her mind every time she wakes up.

She has seen the girl conjure fire from her hand but she always blamed her imagination for adding such effect to her dreams.

"Ah!!" She screamed as she jerked up from her bed with beads of precipitation trolling down her forehead and neck.

She just decided to take a late evening nap hoping she won't have that dream again but to her dismay, the dream still infiltrated her sleep.

"This stupid dream!" She yelled as she aggressively pulled the duvet away from her body then retired to the bathroom.

She turned on the shower, as the water drizzled down her body she ran her hand through her hair as she let out a whimper of satisfaction as the cold water relieved her tension and made her body feel cool again.

"Should I really believe what that psychologist said?" she questioned rhetorically, the frequent dreams is making her shake her stand on his hypothesis but the fact that her dreams seem too realistic as though she is watching someone's daily life is something she just can't understand.

She got out of the shower minutes later then she changed into her short black night charmeuse robe and was about to return to her room when she heard the doorbell.
