About 5 minutes later, Assistant Li still has not come back.
Duan Heng is now obviously feeling displeased.
[Come on now…]
[I gathered all my courage to just show up right now, and this one big chunk of a bodyguard and a who knows where stupid assistant are the ones who are preventing me from seeing her?]
-Tssk-
He started to shake his knee up and down showing his current impatience.
But not long after, the door of the room was opened by someone from inside.
-Creaaak-
"Hey Mr. Bo, Yan Rumei has fi—" Tan Jiaying's words got stuck in her throat.
Obviously, her eyes were caught by the same culprit.
[Oh ma- ma- my…]
[What a yummy hunk do we have here?]
Bodyguard Bo stared at the doctor and at Duan Heng.
He thought, [Hmm? Yan Rumei? Why is it suddenly you calling Miss by her name?]
[Doctor, can you also stop leering at this man?]
Bodyguard Bo sighed internally. [Women.]
-Eheeerm-
Duan Heng let out a cough to rouse the two from their thoughts.
Although slightly reluctant, Bodyguard Bo reported to Tan Jiaying "Doctor, this man said he wants to see the Miss. But I can't let him in unless his identity is confirmed. Could you please inform the Miss and ask if she knows and 'WANTS' to meet this person?"
He emphasized the word 'want' and this made Duan Heng purse his lips.
Tan Jiaying raised both her eyebrows.
[Oh la- la- la…]
[Rumei, wow girl, nice one.]
"Hmmn, okay. Sir handsome, what's your na--- I mean sir… Sir, what's your name?" she asked.
Duan Heng stood up, which even shocked Tan Jiaying.
[Ohhh… Tall, tan, and handsome…]
Duan Heng sighed in relief that finally, someone can pass his message and will be able to help meet her.
He replied, "Hello, doctor. Could you tell Yan Rumei that I'm here to see her? Tell her that my name is Duan Heng from cram school."
Tan Jiaying nodded in return, "Okay, one moment." She closed the door she was keeping open.
Yan Rumei did not hear the conversation as she started to get a little busy entering some information on her laptop.
Tan Jiaying walked to her bedside and whispered, "Hey, Yan Rumei…"
The latter was confused about what this female doctor was up to now.
"What?", she chuckled and continued. "Why are you whispering now?"
"Well… Girl, there's a hunk outside, saying he wants to see you."
"Hunk?", she laughed. "I don't know any hunk."
This is true. Ever since she moved here to City D, all she did was work, work, work. Yan Rumei has also not dated for a long time nor even had time to meet someone other than her clients. And, she also does not remember any 'hunk' clients.
Tan Jiaying shrugged and mentioned, "He said you knew him from cram school in City H, and his name is Duan Heng."
"Huh? Cram school? Do you mean like cram school a decade ago? Are you sure this guy is a hunk and not a clown at all? Who remembers people from that long ago?"
"Uhh, he seems to be confident that you know him."
"Hmm… Duan Heng? I really don't know who this guy is. I don't have a habit of remembering random people's names that I meet. There's also no handsome guy who I think stood out during my cram school. Besides, I only get to go for 3 hours and like twice a week. I don't even had the time to even socialize with people back in the day."
"Do you not wish to see him then? Do you want me to go out and say you don't know him?"
"Yea that would be okay, I mean… Even if I know him, who knows what he's up to? Why meet me now all of a sudden? Did he by any chance hear the news and recognize my name But… that seems to be too fast?" Yan Rumei pondered.
After a few seconds, she then decided, "Hmm, right, just tell him that I don't remember him."
"Okay."
Tan Jiaying did not question Yan Rumei's decision. She also thought that the appearance of this handsome guy was a little weird.
[How did he know that Yan Rumei is here?]
[Why did he decide to come and meet her now?]
[He seems to be holding a bouquet of roses too.]
[Did he put two in two and guess that the Yan Rumei he knew long ago is the Yan Rumei who is currently one of the hot topics in the entire country right now?]
[Oh… Is this guy like a male gold digger?]
With that thought, Tan Jiaying snorted while walking back to the door.
She went out but this time closed Yan Rumei's door.
She immediately turned her gaze on Duan Heng, then she looked at him up and down in a scrutinizing manner.
This baffled Duan Heng so he furrowed his eyebrows.
-Eheeerm-
Tan Jiaying let out a cough and then proceeded to inform him, "Mr. Duan, Yan Rumei said she doesn't know you. I mean, don't get her wrong. It's just… cram school is such a long time ago."
"And... I don't know if you know her current situation right now, but it's a little complicated, so she doesn't want to meet any random person."
Duan Heng wore an unpleasant look. He was clearly dissatisfied.
Well… One couldn't really blame him.
He really wanted to meet Yan Rumei. He didn't have any chance to meet her after cram school in their previous lifetime. He really badly wanted to spend time with her.
But he had to go to Country M and take over his family's business and also to train him for a certain tradition. And, that took him a decade.
Then he was just horrified to read the news that she had been murdered.
Aware that getting angry at these people wouldn't help him to meet her, Duan Heng sighed and took out his phone. He opened settings and disabled the lock mode and then he went to the gallery to open the only photo he had at the moment and handed it to the female doctor.
"This is one of the few cram school photos. That was me on the very far right… Could you show this to her?"
"If she still refuses to meet with me…"
He then took out a card from his wallet, "Can you give her my business card instead?"
"Oh, alright then." Tan Jiaying was amused.
[Wow this man is really eager to meet Yan Rumei.]
She took the phone and the business card and went back into the room.
When Yan Rumei heard the door open and then close, she asked, "Is he gone?"
"Nuh-uh, contrary to that, he handed me his phone here. He wanted you to remember who he is."
"Yan Rumei, that man really wanted to meet you."
She passed the still open phone to Yan Rumei and said, "He said, he's the one on the far right."
Yan Rumei crumpled her eyebrows but decided to look at the photo. But instead of realization dawning on her, she became more confused, "That's him?"
She raised a brow at Tan Jiaying and questioned her, "Jiaying, is this your definition of a handsome guy?"
Yan Rumei chuckled.
Tan Jiaying wore a confused look, "Huh, what do you mean?"
Curious about what she was talking about, she scurried forward to her side and looked at the photo.
