Xue Luan's heart was in turmoil. She couldn't believe that after taking advantage of her, Lu Chen was now treating her with complete indifference. This was a heavy blow to her pride. Rage surged within her, and her delicate fists clenched tightly.
Killing intent.
Lu Chen suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with confusion as he noticed the aura of hostility.
But when Xue Luan's eyes met his sharp, penetrating gaze, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and the murderous intent disappeared as swiftly as it had come.
Lu Chen felt the threat vanish the moment he lifted his head, and he began to wonder if he had been too sensitive. After all, aside from him, the only other person in the room was this stunning doctor. Surely, a woman like her wouldn't harbor murderous thoughts towards him, right?
The idea made him chuckle inwardly. He glanced at Xue Luan and said, "Doctor, is there something else?"
'He actually dares to shirk me off?'Xue Luan wished she could bite this despicable man who had taken advantage of her. She cursed Lu Chen a thousand times in her heart, silently vowing that she would rather die than marry this loathsome man, even if it meant killing him to preserve her honor.
Though fuming inwardly, Xue Luan kept her face cold and her voice icy as she replied, "I have a name. It's Xue Luan. With so many doctors in this hospital, who exactly are you calling 'Doctor'?"
Lu Chen hadn't expected this doctor to be so difficult to deal with. He let out a bitter laugh and said, "Oh, Xue Luan, right? Got it. Now, could you please leave? The patient needs peace and quiet to recover."
Xue Luan gritted her teeth at his words, her fists clenched tightly as she turned around. Her high heels clacked loudly on the floor as she stormed out, her body swaying slightly with each step. As she walked, she cursed Lu Chen inwardly, imagining all the ways she could make him pay.
Lu Chen's gaze lingered on Xue Luan's swaying hips. Amused, he mentally compared her to He Suyan and Liu Jie. The conclusion he came to was enough to make him laugh at himself. He found himself thinking that Xue Luan's full, shapely figure would surely be ideal for bearing children if he ever married her. She would certainly expand the Lu family's lineage.
Thinking of Liu Jie, Lu Chen suddenly smacked his forehead. He glanced at his watch and gasped. It was already nine in the morning! He had completely forgotten about his meeting with Liu Jie. 'She must be fuming by now.'
Casting one last look at the still-unconscious He Suyan, Lu Chen called for a private nurse to care for her, gave a few instructions, and rushed out of the room.
At the elevator, Lu Chen saw a tall doctor stepping inside. Seeing the doors about to close, he hurriedly lunged forward and squeezed in just before the doors shut. However, in his haste, he crashed into the doctor standing inside.
As Lu Chen collided with the doctor, he immediately recognized her—none other than Xue Luan, He Suyan's attending physician.
A subtle fragrance filled the air. Not long ago, Lu Chen had only glimpsed Xue Luan's ample curves. But now, his face was buried in her chest, pressing against her soft, full breasts. Despite the layers of clothing, he could feel their firmness and warmth. His hands, as if moving on their own, instinctively slid down her perfect back and landed on her shapely, round buttocks.
'What on earth...?'Xue Luan was momentarily stunned.
Given Xue Luan's skills, even if Lu Chen had lost his balance, she could have easily stepped aside before he fell into her.
But she had been preoccupied with thoughts of this hateful man, Lu Chen, and hadn't noticed him approaching. By the time she realized what was happening, his face was already buried in her chest, his breath hot against her sensitive skin, sending a shiver down her spine. Her hands, which had been ready to push him away, suddenly lost all strength.
Lu Chen, face pressed against her soft chest, breathed in her delicate fragrance. His large hands, seemingly on autopilot, gave her full, firm buttocks a squeeze.
"Ahhh!"
Xue Luan's body stiffened, her face flushed crimson, and her eyes burned with fury. She bent her knee, aiming for Lu Chen's most vulnerable spot.
Though Lu Chen was enjoying the moment, he hadn't completely lost his senses. He noticed Xue Luan's subtle movement and anticipated her next move.
Just as her knee shot forward, his hand gave her a firm squeeze, eliciting an involuntary moan from her. In one swift motion, he released her and stepped back, his body agilely dodging her knee. At the same time, his hand caught her outstretched leg.
Xue Luan's creamy, smooth leg ended up in Lu Chen's grip, leaving her both furious and humiliated. She glared at him, her eyes blazing with anger.
But what she saw only made her want to cry. Lu Chen was staring dumbfounded at her, his eyes fixated on her lower half. Following his gaze, Xue Luan nearly broke down in tear.
Her leg, now lifted, had caused her lab coat to slide down, exposing her lower body entirely to Lu Chen's view.
"Don't… Don't look…!"
Xue Luan's face was as red as a cherry as she covered her face with her hands, her voice trembling.
Even though Lu Chen was reluctant to look away from the tantalizing sight between her thighs, her teary protests jolted him back to his senses. Panicked, he hurriedly lowered her leg, his hands fumbling awkwardly as he stammered, "I… I'm sorry… I really didn't mean to!"
Hearing his clumsy apology, Xue Luan felt even more wronged. He had seen everything, and now he wanted to brush it off with a simple "I didn't mean to"? How could he be so casual?
Tears streamed down Xue Luan's face. Gone was her cold, untouchable persona. Now, her flushed cheeks and tear-streaked face made her look irresistibly fragile. Her lips quivered as she said, "Lu Chen, you just wait. This isn't over between us!"
Before Lu Chen could comprehend how she knew his name, the elevator doors opened. Xue Luan hastily adjusted her clothes and, as she walked past him, stomping hard on his foot.
"Ahhh!"
Lu Chen hopped in place, clutching his foot. Judging by the pain, Xue Luan had not held back.
Thankfully, there was no one outside the elevator. If anyone had seen Xue Luan's tearful face, who knows what rumors would spread through the hospital by the next day?
