CHAPTER 08 - A TRUE HERO
Xingyue's POV
As I started talking to Han Shuo, I noticed a weird reaction on Xi Song's face. It was more likely a suspecting face.
Han Shuo: Can you come over here? I need a lot of help from you.Xingyue: Okay, I'm coming.
Hanging the call, I glared at him. "What was that?"
Crossing his arms, he raised his brows. "May I know who Han Shuo is?" Rolling my eyes, I answered. "You don't need to know about him, Mr. temporary fiancé." Walking back to the dressing room, I changed my dress as I took my purse and said goodbye to him. "Where's the bill? I'll pay for it." Pronouncing a sigh, he smirked. "Don't worry. I paid already."Grinding my teeth, I flipped my hair as I argued. "I can pay for my dress by myself, Mr. Song." "I know, but I couldn't let you pay Miss Li," he argued back. "WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?"He added. "The problem is you are Fiancée. If you are done arguing with me, let's go. I have a patient to attend to." Rolling my eyes again, I walked ahead as he followed me.Author's POV
Knocking on the table, she continued waiting for the only man who could change her life. Blinking her eyes, she felt exhausted when the door suddenly opened, revealing a handsome young man wearing a doctor's coat. Sitting on his chair, he asked. "How can I help you, mam?" Standing up, she introduced herself. "Hello sir, I'm Xia Na. One of the employees in Han entertainment company. I'm requesting you to sign these papers for a month. Can you please sign them? I came here especially for it."
Sneering, he replied. "Young lady, I'm not related to this business. Even if I am considered as CEO, I'm a pure doctor by heart."Banging the files, she rested her arms on the table, passing an icy glare to him. "Listen, young man. Your one sign stopped my promotion for one month already. Sign them. No matter who you are, I don't care at all."
Just when another doctor entered as he choked in air, seeing them like this. "What are you two doing?" Narrowing her eyes, she examined the man standing near the door. "What a coincidence? Dr. Song, do you remember me?" Glancing for a while, he asked. "What are you doing here?" Staring at both of them, the guy asked. "Xi Song, do you know her?" With his pursed lips, he replied. "She is my fiancée's best friend, Ling Xiao." Walking to him, she bent down. "Please help me. This young man is not signing the contract. My promotion all depends on him. I beg you. Please make him sign the papers."Rubbing his jaw with the help of his hand, he asked. "And what will I get?"Lifting her chin, she passed a smile. "Whatever you want."Wasting no time, he questioned. "Who is Han Shuo?" She curved her brows, answering him. "Mr. Han is our new CEO." With an intense look on his face, he asked again. "What's his relationship with my wife?" "Xingyue is her assistant, and I think they have a good friendship too. He likes her a lot." His eyes froze open as he choked in the air. "HAN SHUO LIKES XINGYUE?" She hummed. "Yeah, and Xinyue is quite close to him too. But why are you shouting?"Gulping hard, he whispered. "I'll make him sign if you keep me updated about your bestie and your boss." Gazing down, she thought for a while as she whispered back. "Deal."Pressing his lips together, he cleared his throat. "Hmm... Ling Xiao, sign the document."
Squinting, he replied. "But why?" "Do it as I said, or else I'll post it."Taking out his phone, he pointed his finger with a smirk on his lips. Raising his hands in the air, he declared. "OKAY! I'm signing."Taking out his pen, he signed the contract as she whooped in enjoyment. "FINALLY! PROMOTION." Calming her down, he argued. "Don't forget about the deal." Giving him a salute, she took her phone out. "Let me add you on kakaotalk." Scanning his code, she added him. "Okay, brother-in-law. Fighting." She collected her file as she walked outside. Wrapping his arms, he glared. "What was that for, Xi Song?"Making a thank you face, he replied. "Just helping my sister-in-law." Winking at him, he made his way to the chair as he sat on it, sighing. "It's so tough to be a doctor. But I love to help them." Sitting beside him, he uttered. "Are you serious about this marriage?"Running his hands through his hair, he chuckled. "She is not my type even if she looks beautiful." Swiftly someone knocked on their door. "Dr. Song, Dr. Ling. There's an emergency." Taking their mask, they ran outward. "Call Dr. Zhao." Nodding her head, the nurse went to find her.Xingyue's POV
Walking to his cabin, I received a call from the manager. Smiling all over, I picked the call.
Xingyue: What happened, Ms. Zhang?Ms. Zhang: Xing Xing, a big problem came your way. One of your appointed actors fainted away as the other claimed that you put him on a strict diet because he rejected you.
Frowning on my spot, my hands trembled as I sealed my eyes.
Xingyue: Where is that actor now? Send me the details.
Ms. Zhang: Send you already. Go clean the mess before it gets reported to Mr. Han.
Humming as an answer, I hung up as I rushed back.
Running down to the hospital, I hurried to his room as I saw a doctor talking about him. "The young guy doesn't look great." He added. "According to his reports, someone gave him poison. I think we need to call the police."
My chin vibrated. “Poison?” I asserted with a loud wept.CHAPTER 09 - CASE OF POISONXi Song's POVTaking out my gloves, I washed my hands as I came out. "What's the report of the patient?" Reading the file, Ling Xiao answered. "He is safe for now, but the poison in his body is in excessive amounts. I'm afraid we can't save him--" Cutting his words off, I shouted. "DON'T EVER SAY THIS AGAIN. We have to save him at any rate." Shifting my gaze, I glanced at a lady sitting on the nearby bench. Taking out my mask, I walked to her. "What are you doing here, Xingyue?"Lifting her chin, she stood up immediately. "How is the patient? Is he okay?" Taking a pause, I gulped. "The risk is too high. The toxin is poisonous, and it's found excessive in his body. It seems like a murder case." She knitted her brows as someone ran to us, shouting her name. "XINGYUE, IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?" Gazing at Xia Na, I shifted my eyes to her. She was looking pale. "How is he?" Sha
CHAPTER 10 - When the heart talks your feelingsAuthor's POVGulping down, he took his phone out as he called his friend. "Ling Xiao, do you know the other way of exiting the hospital?" Humming, he replied. "Yeah, there is a way behind the hospital. But what happened?" Holding her hand, he directed her as Xia Na pushed her. "Xingyue, just go with him. Don't worry about anything, okay?" Glancing sideways, she nodded her head in agreement as they ran away. Taking his car, Ling Xiao waited for them near the gate. Waving at him, Xi Song approached him. "Thank you, Ling Xiao. Can you handle the matter?" Smiling at him, he stroked on his arm. "Of course, I'm the master after all. Don't be concerned, sister-in-law needs you more this time." Peeking at her, he bowed. "Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Ling Xiao. One of the best surgeons here--" Cutting his words off, he sided him. "Okay! Do your introduction some other time. Xi
CHAPTER 11 - FIND THE CULPRITAuthor's POVThe rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. Lifting her head, she glanced at the clock as it showed seven of the morning. Doing her daily pieces of stuff, she moved downstairs as she smelled something delicious. "Hmm!! It looks like Dr. Song woke up early." Chuckling at her comment, he placed the dishes on the table as he replied. "I'm a doctor. I woke earlier than others and stayed up at night too. Come and eat. I'll drop you at your office." Playing with her fingers, she brushed her hair back as she messaged Han Shuo. "Han Shuo, you don't need to come here. My cousin will drop me."Placing her phone on the table, she sat opposite him."Xi Song, I know it's tough for you to let a stranger stay at your place. So thank you for letting me in." Taking a bite of bread, he chuckled. "You're talking lik
CHAPTER 12 - PAGES OF PASTXi Song's POV"I promise her mom will protect her. I can't back off from it." Taking the file from his hands, I unopened it and started reading her details when something caught my eyes as I narrowed my eyes. Taking the phone, I dialed a number, not knowing if it still worked or not???: Hello?Gasping, I stammered.Me: You still use this number, Han Shuo.Clearing his throat, he answered.Han Shuo: It's my choice. What's the reason behind calling me?Me: I want to meet you. It's related to Xingyue's case.Han Shuo: Okay. I will send you the location.Humming, I hung up the call as I looked down when he asked."What's wrong, Xi Song?" Staring at the ceiling, I answered. "Nothing is wrong. Take my shift for today. I have something to deal with." Taking my belongings, I left the place.Xingyue's POVL
CHAPTER 13 - Signal of love?Xingyue's POVWalking as fast as I could, I arrived at an alley where I saw no other way to escape. Shivering, I turned back as I heard a man laughing like a maniac.He covered his face with a black mask as his hands were holding a knife. Gulping hard, I stepped back as he moved closer to me. "Is he coming to kill me?" I assumed.Stepping back again, my back clasped with the wall as I sweated.Horrified, I shut my eyes when he was about to stab me with the knife.Squinting, I felt a touch as I peeked with my half-opened eyes.Glancing back, I saw Han Shuo murmuring in pain. "HAN SHUO!!"Holding him in my arms, I looked into his eyes as he was about to close his eyes. "Keep your eyes open, Han Shuo." Tears formed in my eyes when the man again moved to me. But out of nowhere, someone appeared as he kicked him, pushing him out of the way. Lifting my chin, I gazed at the ma
CHAPTER 14 - Past or present?Xingyue's POVWalking out of the kitchen, I went near the dining table as I glanced at my phone. My eyes widened as I choked in the air. "Li Yubing?"Squinting my eyes, I cleared my voice as I picked the call.Me: Hello, Yubing. Long time no call or text.Yubing: I'm sorry, Xing. I didn't take care of you well. I failed to be an ideal boyfriend. But I promise once I come back, all my attention will be on you.Gazing down, I pressed my lips, assuming. "I don't know, Yubing. Will I be waiting for you or not?"Taking a deep gasp, I replied to him.Me: Focus on your business. We'll talk once you come back, okay?Yubing: Deal, Xing. I love you.As he said those words, it frowned on my spot as I wiggled.Me: Hmm! I'm hanging now, bye.Hanging the call, I exhaled noisily through my pursed lips when he asked. "What's wrong? Is there something
CHAPTER 15 - Visiting his familyAuthor's POVThe next day shone brighter than yesterday. Taking a leave from the hospital, Xi Song went to meet his mom along with Xingyue. "What do you think? Why do they want to meet us?" Keeping his intense look on the face, he replied. "I don't know. She didn't tell me anything."Nodding her head, they walked inside the place, which seemed exceptionally royal. With her mouth partially opened, she turned her gaze around. "Wow! What a place? I felt like I'm in a castle." Sneering at her, he stepped ahead when his mom noticed them. Waving her hand in the air, she shouted. "XI SONG, XINGYUE!! My babies are back."Wincing on a sudden voice rise, she glanced at Xi Song as he directed her. "She's my mom." Placing a hand on her mouth, she quickly planted her lovely smile while bowing to her. "Good morning, Aunt."Pulling her into a hug, she replied. "Call me mom, dearie. Y

"Mom, isn't it too fast? I mean, we don't know each other till now."Passing her glares, her mom stood up, arguing with her. "You know each other enough. I'm doing it for your sake, Xingyue. You're already 24 years old. How long do you want to wait for him? Huh?"As her mom started shouting at her, it made the situation more embarrassing for her.
