Lucy who couldn't take it anymore, walked away without them, they were too engrossed to even notice her leaving but a tall figure watched the twin and Min Young until they were out of sight with contempt in his eyes.
"He didn't even bother to see me even though he was just here, but he actually came for her," he clenched his fist and walked away angrily.

They were still on their way to the hospital, since she has wasted time they were sure that they would definitely be late, Yu Yan increases her driving speed and kept wearing a worried look throughout the drive while Han Chen just placed his head on the headboard and closed his eyes with his hands folded on his chest.
She stopped the car as the traffic light turned red, she brushed her slightly wavy hair to the back and checked the time on her wristwatch in frustration, she has always avoided this traffic but because of Li Na, she has to face this traffic.
"Why are you so quiet, are you not even worried?" she questioned, turning to look at him, she glanced at him for three seconds before scoffing in disbelief that she has been driving in frustration all along, but he has just been sleeping.
"Unbelievable, I was wondering why he was quiet," she leaned closer to him and pinched his cheeks gently.
"What type of man sleeps while a woman drives him?"
"Me," he answered the rhetorical question like a dead who has just been awakened, her body jerked when she heard his voice and saw his eyes open while in the same position.
"Did I startle you that much?" he questioned with a clueless look on his face.
"What do you think?" she eyed him and returned to her position just as the traffic light turned yellow then green.
"So, you have been pretending to be asleep?" she wanted to know if he was awake when she pinched his cheek.
"No, I just woke up when you pinched my cheek but I didn't know you had it in you…you know, pinching a grown man's cheek," he answered teasingly, she turned to look at him, knowing he must be teasing her then she nodded her head and focused on the road.
"There are many things you don't know about me,"
"I don't think that's right, I know you much more than you think I do,"
He leaned closer towards her with his hands folded on his chest and a serious expression on his face.
"You see, I have been stalking you for ten years," his tone sounded too serious, she unconsciously stepped on the brakes in the middle of the road.
"What!"
"I am sorry I didn't tell you early on, but I became obsessed with you ten years ago, you looked really…" he leaned closer.
"The drivers behind you are getting impatient," he remarked, then she noticed the cars horning, she quickly started driving again.
"Hey, are you serious?"
"Why don't you take a guess?" he laid back on his seat.
"You are joking right?"
"I will leave it to your imagination," he closed his eyes and turned to his side.
After they got to the hospital, they both headed to the café to grab a coffee before heading to the general surgery department, all the way, she kept bugging him to give her a proper answer to what he said in the car, but his reply remained the same.
"You are not really a stalker, are you?" she pestered as they entered the office but he simply bowed his head slightly to greet everyone while they welcomed him with a broad smile except Xiaomeng.
"Stalker, are you being stalked?" An Ke questioned right after remembering what Yu Yan said before she walked in.
"There is a chance," she answered vaguely then she glared at him and sighed, she took a step forward to go to her desk, but she couldn't find her desk.
"Where is my desk?" she questioned in confusion.
"Team leader moved your desk to a new office with Han Chen," Li Chen answered with a downcast look on his face.
"What, why?"
"Are you that displeased to share an office with me?"
"No, it is just too sudden,"
"I am glad to hear that, I would have felt bad for suggesting that you and Han Chen share an office since ours would be too cramped if he moves in and you can also help him get used to things around here," Xiaomeng commented with a smile on her lips.
"You…" she was about to move forward when Han Chen held her back.
"I guess I should thank you then," he smiled and pulled Yu Yan out of the office, but she kept staring hard at Xiaomeng until she was out of sight.
They found their names in front of an office, so they assumed it is theirs, they arranged their office and settled in before going about their duties.
It was already lunch when they gathered at the cafeteria coincidentally since it is not every day they get the time to have lunch, they sat on the same table of just like they always do when they get the chance but with Han Chen the new member of the crew.
"Brother, we really need to talk later" Jia Yu said amidst their lunch, the others turned to her thinking it might be something serious.
"Is something wrong?" Yu Yan questioned in concern.
"It is nothing serious, I just think my brother is not the same person I know, so I need to understand him more," Jia Yu answered with her eyes fixed on Han Chen.
"I don't have anything to say to you, dear cousin," he smiled briefly at her then he continued eating his veg meal.
"But I do,"
"It seems like you still have the same rituals," Chen Kai who had just arrived at the table remarked.
"Woah! You seem really different now," Meng Yao remarked, they are just seeing him for the first time after he arrived but they had already heard the news that he is back.
"Not at all, I hope I still have a place on the lunch table," he turned to Yu Yan who seemed to be focusing on her food which is quite strange to them.
"Of course, you are part of the crew too," Jia Yu answered with a welcoming expression, he went over to where Yu Yan was seated but Han Chen was already seating beside her while Ji Chen is at her other side.
"Can you please move over?" he requested, looking at Han Chen who pretended not to notice his presence before.
"I don't think that is possible, I have taken a liking to this position," Han Chen bluntly responded then he turned back to his food, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward for them.
"Brother, He is Yu Yan's boyfriend, why don't you come over here," Jai Yu chimed in hoping to save the awkward situation.
"I know, he already introduced himself to me, but I really loved this position, maybe Ji Chen can move over if he wants to seat close to Yu Yan,". Chen Kai clutched the end of his tray tightly, he needed to contain the anger within him.
"Why me, I like it here," Ji Chen retorted, they were not surprised, after all, he has always disliked Chen Kai.
"Ji Chen," Jia Yu called, signalling him to come over to her side to save the situation, somehow, they could feel the tension between Han Chen and Ji Chen and the fact that Yu Yan is just focusing on her meal despite the situation confirmed their guess.
Ji Chen sighed, being the obedient boyfriend he is, he picked up his tray and walked over to where Jia Yu is seated, Chen Kai reluctantly took his seat.
"Are you all coming to my welcome party today," He questioned as soon as he took his seat.
"Of course, an email was sent out over the weekend," An Ke responded while the others nodded in affirmation except Yu Yan and Han Chen.
"Are you not coming, Yu Yan?" he asked.
"How can I miss such an important event, of course, I will be there," Yu Yan enthusiastically replied, which they found odd since she was just acting indifferent.
"Good you are all coming, frankly, these parties are always boring without you guys,"
"That doesn't sound right, what of Miss Xiaomeng, it seemed like you both are really close," Han Chen casually remarked.
"Brother," Jia Yu cautioned.
"Actually, we are all close to her but she tends to be really annoying at times," Meng Yao chimed in.
"Seems like the only gossip you could find for lunch has to be about me," Xiaomeng remarked, standing in front of them.
"Don't think too much of yourself," An Ke responded, then she rolled her eyes.
"By the way Chen Kai, I had a really good time at your house over the weekend, it was such a pity that I was on call, I would have loved to spend the whole weekend at your house so we can discuss the engagement further,"
