“Sister Mian, let me get you out of it . ” Chen Jie got up to leave, but Huo Mian stopped her .
“It’s fine, the patient must know me to ask for me . Tell them to come in . ”
“But… will you be okay?”
“I’ll be okay, there are herds of bodyguards outside . ” Huo Mian smiled . Plus, she was no longer the weak woman who couldn’t protect herself; she had a poisonous bug and silver needle… she felt more and more like one of those doctors in the historical TV shows .
She always gave a chance to the patients who wanted a consultation with her . To her surprise, however, it was Jiang Ye who showed up .
Do you even remember who Jiang Ye was?
He was an old-time movie star who had been in love with Huo Mian for a while now . They were not friends, but they were not enemies either . Jiang Ye was usually active in Jing City, and it had been a while since Huo Mian saw him .
If he didn’t come see her, she would’ve forgotten that he existed .
Jiang Ye walked in with a bouquet of lilies . “Happy birthday, Dr . Huo . ”
“Did you come all the way here just to wish me a happy birthday?” Huo Mian asked, narrowing her eyes .
“I haven’t seen you in a while, yet you’re still so egotistic . I would never come just for you, if I did, would you pay for my return ticket?”
Huo Mian: “…”
“Ha, I’m just pulling your leg . I’m actually here to advertise my new movie and was passing through C City… I heard that Tang Chuan’s throwing you a birthday bash on a boat?”
“You have a new movie coming out?” Huo Mian changed the subject .
“Mhm, I try to make at least one movie a year, a man’s gotta eat . ” Jiang Jie smiled .
“You’re a movie star, you’ll be fine . ”
“Movie star? Don’t make fun of me, I’m an old man now… people thirty years younger than I am have debuted, actors born in the 1970s are as good as a sinking boat . ”
“Acting skills are what matters; you’re more than an idol, you’re an actor as well . ”
“Hey, I’ve never heard you compliment me like that . I guess my decision to come here was correct . ”
“Thank you for coming to see me . ”
“You’re almost due, aren’t you?” Jiang Ye asked .
“Yes, I’m a couple months out . ”
“Wow, you’re almost the mother of three . How time flies . ”
“Yet you’re still a single man, you should get a move on . ” Huo Mian smiled .
“Your words are still sharp as a knife… haha . ” Jiang Ye could now face Huo Mian earnestly . He really liked her – from the initial pure curiosity to getting to know Huo Mian as a person, Jiang Ye had come to admire Huo Mian from the bottom of his heart . However, he no longer lusted after her .
This was because the more he got to know Huo Mian, the more he came to the realization that he wasn’t good enough for her . If someone like Su Yu couldn’t get her, then how was he, a mere actor, supposed to?
“How long are you here for?”
“My flight’s tonight . ”
“You’re not coming to the party?” Huo Mian gave Jiang Ye a half-invitation .
“Nope, I’m worried your husband will feel jealous seeing his old nemesis . ”
“Trust me, if he’s okay with Su Yu, he’ll be okay with you . ”
“Gosh, you shouldn’t bully a single man like me… you should take care of yourself, there’s going to be a lot of people on the boat tonight . What if someone gets on and tries to hurt you? You should be careful,” Jiang Ye warned Huo Mian, word for word .
“What do you mean?” Huo Mian immediately understood that Jiang Ye had other intentions behind coming here today .
