Ji Mengtang could not be too obvious in front of Gao Zhongwei, so she could only continuously glare at Kang Yansheng with her eyes. Kang Yansheng ignored her murderous gaze, still looking indifferent in a way that was infuriating. Xu Kuanhou then approached Gao Zhongwei and said: “Now we will do an X-ray and MRI scan for you. The nurse will push you to the examination room.” “Do the examination now?” Facing the new treatment, Gao Zhongwei was clearly nervous. Ji Mengtang, feeling sympathetic, quickly stepped forward and held his hand, comforting him: “Don’t be nervous, I will accompany you!” For some reason, the scene of Ji Mengtang holding Gao Zhongwei’s hand made Kang Yansheng feel uncomfortable. “No! Relatives will only affect the examination results, please wait in the ward.” “What?!” Ji Mengtang was furious, this demon was even heartlessly depriving her of the precious time to accompany her boyfriend! “Miss Zhang, Miss Li, take the patient away!” Kang Yansheng ignored her angry shock and directly turned to the only two nurses in the ward. “Yes!” The two nurses did not dare to delay and immediately pushed Gao Zhongwei out of the ward. Kang Yansheng did not even glance at the fuming Ji Mengtang before following and walking out of the ward. Ji Mengtang trembled with anger, her delicate little fists clenched tightly. This arrogant and contemptuous maniac! Xu Kuanhou, watching from the side, did not know whether to find it amusing or feel helpless. What was wrong with these two? They seemed to be at odds! Especially Dr. Kang– Although Dr. Kang always had a stern face, it was better than always wearing a mocking smile. He couldn’t possibly be gloating or watching from the sidelines, so he quickly tried to smooth things over for Kang Yansheng. “Actually, Dr. Kang just wants to examine and treat Mr. Gao as soon as possible.” “Tell me, how good is Kang Yansheng’s medical skills? Can he really cure Zhongwei? Am I selling myself to the devil only to find out that the devil is just a mediocre doctor in a white coat?” “Miss Ji, I dare not speculate how much Dr. Kang can restore Mr. Gao, because my medical skills are not that profound. I can only tell you that Dr. Kang is the most skilled doctor I have ever seen, and no one’s medical skills are better! In fact, Dr. Kang’s father was also a doctor — about ten years ago, his father Kang Zhiguang was a famous doctor in Taiwan.” “His father was also a doctor?” Ji Mengtang was genuinely curious. What kind of father would raise such a child with a strange personality? “At that time, his father held a position in a well-known hospital and had been the attending physician for some government officials and business leaders, with excellent medical skills. Dr. Kang probably inherited his medical talent and showed his medical prowess early on. While others needed seven years to complete medical school, he easily finished in five years, then spent three years pursuing a master’s and doctoral degree in the United States, subsequently interning at several renowned hospitals before returning to Taiwan to open his own hospital.” “Do you know where his father is now?” She thought that if Kang Yansheng could treat Gao Zhongwei, his father should be able to do so too, and perhaps seeking his father would be better! “His father… passed away more than ten years ago.” “What? His father passed away?” He should not be that old, right? “Yes… I heard it was an accident, and he and his wife died in a fire…” There were rumors outside that the arsonist was Kang Yansheng, but he firmly denied it. Dr. Kang might not be the most compassionate doctor, but he is human and has a sensitive side. After working with him for over three years, he believed in Dr. Kang’s character! “Is that so?” “In any case, I’m not clear about what exactly happened, only that he passed away.” After Kang Zhiguang’s death, the massive insurance money and inheritance allowed Kang Yansheng to open this hospital before turning thirty, and he followed Kang Yansheng out of admiration for his medical skills. “So, I can only seek help from that devil, with no other hope?” Ji Mengtang was extremely disappointed, having hoped for… It seemed she could not escape after all! ★★★ In the evening, after saying goodbye to Gao Zhongwei, Ji Mengtang left his ward. Walking alone in the long corridor, her mind was in turmoil thinking about recent events. Inadvertently looking up, she discovered a tall figure leaning against the wall, watching her approach, clearly waiting for her. She stopped in front of him, asking with cold eyes what he wanted. He wore a mocking smile and handed her a kraft paper bag. “There are some documents inside. Please review them and sign if there are no issues. Also, please come to this address this weekend.” He handed her an address written on a prescription pad. “Not meeting here?” Ji Mengtang asked in surprise. “This is a hospital! You don’t think I live here, do you? But if you like it here, I’m willing–” “Shut up!” Ji Mengtang blushed with shame and trembled with anger. “I’m not like you, without moral conscience or shame! I will come to this address on the weekend, so you can stop mocking me!” She clutched the note tightly, proudly turned her head and walked away, quickening her pace straight to the door. Kang Yansheng watched her back, rigid like an enraged cat, and a fascinating smile again appeared at the corner of his mouth. She was indeed an intriguing little thing! She must really love her boyfriend, right? Thinking of the man named Gao Zhongwei, he involuntarily furrowed his brow. Gao Zhongwei was not good enough for her! Although he had just met Gao Zhongwei today, he instinctively had this thought. In terms of appearance, Gao Zhongwei was handsome and matched her well. As for his personality — he could not yet see any flaws, but for some inexplicable reason, he felt Gao Zhongwei was not good enough for Ji Mengtang! She deserved a better man! As for who that would be, he did not know! In any case, it would not be him. He only saw her as an interesting prey to play with, to catch and toy with until he grew tired, at which point he would naturally let her go. By then, who she was with was none of his concern.
However, the thought of her softly nestling in another man’s arms was strangely piercing, making Kang Yansheng feel uneasy. But he told himself: Now she is his little pet, and thinking that she belongs to another person is inevitably unpleasant. Once he gets tired of her, he won’t care who she is with!
Because he could never fall in love with anyone, absolutely not! His longing for familial affection and yearning for love had all disappeared in that big fire more than ten years ago.
That accident made him realize one truth: never let anyone become too important in his heart, because that would make a person lose their rationality and subsequently do crazy things.
He absolutely would not let himself become like that! Absolutely not! ★★★ On a weekend night, the silent city seemed to come alive like a boiling pot. The metro car was filled with couples going on dates or young people seeking entertainment.
Ji Mengtang’s melancholic figure stood out among these faces full of smiles. Tonight, she came to this appointment with a mindset of going to her death.
After getting off the metro, she walked like a ghost, dazed, towards Kang Yansheng’s residence.
Following the address, she arrived at a high-end apartment designed like a magnificent Roman building. Entering the lobby, there was a cute small fountain in the first-floor corridor, surrounded by green plants that, under the light, exuded a European elegant and romantic atmosphere.
But she had no mind to appreciate it, walking directly through the corridor towards the security room. After the guard reported her arrival, he courteously sent her into the elevator, swiped her magnetic card, and then silently returned to the security room with a calm attitude.
