In a Junior Suite located at a hotel near St. Luke's Hospital, Duan Heng was staring at his laptop screen.
He just arrived a few hours ago. After his plane from Country J landed in Country M's City A International Airport, he had to wait for almost half a day for his next plane that is headed here to City D.
It was a long and arduous wait for him.
He wanted to meet Yan Rumei as soon as possible, but now that he's here in City D, just a few blocks away from her, he actually did not know how to approach her.
Especially now that Gu Feng's bodyguards are still there in the hospital.
So, all he could do right now is wait for them to leave.
He saw from his laptop screen that they are scheduled to leave tomorrow morning.
But even if they leave, the question of 'How is he going to approach Yan Rumei?' still stays.
He has been racking his brain for a few hours now and he still has no specific plan.
[Do I just go there and say that I'm Duan Heng, and that we met in City H a few years ago?]
[But she would be suspicious if I suddenly appear, particularly now that she is now protected and is a daughter of a rich businessman.]
[Should I email or call her?]
[I do have her contact information, but how will I explain where I got it from?]
[Should I... create a chance meeting?]
[But what kind of chance meeting would lead me to her VIP room?]
"Aaaarhgg!", Duan Heng ruffled his hair in exasperation.
He stood up from the chair and threw himself on the bed.
"If I could just kidnap her and keep her to myself…"

The next morning, Lu Anqing and Gu Feng are now bidding farewell to Yan Rumei.
"Meimei, here's your credit card and bank account. You should spend at least 85% of your monthly limit. No, you are not permitted to say you don't need any of this. Take it and spend, or else, I will be sad." He said and acted in a distressed manner.
Yan Rumei could not help but just stare at Gu Feng with her mouth open.
[What the…]
[Yow, new dad… That… was quite weird.]
Naturally, she couldn't say this comment in front of this big boss CEO. So, she just smiled awkwardly in return.
Lu Anqing, on the other hand, hugged her gently and just reminded her of usual things like eat well, don't sleep too late, exercise when she's well enough, call or text her once a day or at least every other day. You know, really just the usual things mothers say to a teenager going away to live alone.
Gu Feng also did not forget to remind the remaining trio, Bodyguard Chu, Assistant Li, and Driver Chu, to assist and protect her daughter here in City D.
After that, Assistant Li accompanied them to the hospital entrance, while Bodyguard Bo and Doctor Tan were left to guard and take care of her.
The female doctor then instructed Bodyguard Bo to leave the room, so she can do the routine check on Yan Rumei's wound.
He left after he got a nod of approval from his Miss.
-Sigh-
"You are so lucky, Miss." Doctor Tan uttered.
"Hmn?"
"I mean, you have loving parents. Madam is very gentle, and she is very kind to anyone she meets. While CEO Gu… is you know, rich. He's also very accepting of you. Don't get me wrong but that is very rare for stepfathers." Doctor Tan explained.
"Ahh…" she lightly scratched her cheek. "Mnn, that is true. Mom and I are indeed lucky."
While Tan Jiaying proceeded to check her wound on her stomach, Yan Rumei spoke, "Hey, Doctor Tan. You can just call me by my name. There's no need to call me Miss like everyone else since we're both around the same age anyway."
"Yan Rumei? Rumei?" Tan Jiaying tried to say her first name. "Hmm… Okay. But only if you call me by my name too."
Yan Rumei agreed to Tan Jiaying. That was only natural for acquaintances and friends. Additionally, the female doctor also seems to be an honest and dependable person.
Tan Jiaying is also a very straightforward person. She didn't think it was something bad. Besides, the Gu family was really very reasonable despite their identity. She never really expected them to be this nice to a nobody like her.
"Okay, all done. We can clean the wound tonight. There was no inflammation nor infection. As long as you don't lose yourself from laughing out loud again and tearing your stitches, you will be able to recover in no time.", she joked.
Yan Rumei chuckled in return.

Outside the VIP room, Bodyguard Bo is on a stare-down competition with a man in a leather jacket with a bouquet of roses in his hand.
He saw this man approach from afar when he just exited Yan Rumei's room.
He has a very striking appearance that all the nurses, including men, stopped and followed him with their ogling eyes. One nurse even dropped her pen and until now she hasn't picked it up because she is still staring at this man.
It was the man who broke the silence first, "I'm here to see Yan Rumei."
But of course, Bodyguard Bo wore a stern expression and said, "Just because you said that you are here to see our Miss, doesn't mean you can casually come in to see her."
"Tell her it's Duan Heng of cram school in City H." Despite racking his brains all night, in the end, he decided to just go and meet her. No other excuses.
Bodyguard Bo twitched but still did not relent, "Sit down and wait for the assistant to come back."
Duan Heng's face turned sour and his entire being turned cold.
[Why is he being such a huge obstacle?]
[Should I just strangle this man, right here, right now?]
Bodyguard Bo felt the malice in Duan Heng so he went on high alert.
Realizing he accidentally let out a dangerous aura which he honed while being imprisoned, Duan Heng sighed and proceeded to sit on the bench.
