Chapter 04

I live in Room 401, Unit 3, Building C, so you must remember that" Yan Hang added.

This community is very close to the Third Hospital, approximately a fifteen-minute journey. If you wake up late in the morning, there will be vendors selling breakfast on your way to work, so you can just take care of it on the spot. Yan Hang introduced while pointing at the surrounding dining establishments, the entire street is filled with food options, making it quite dazzling to behold.

Her life had returned to tranquility as she quietly sat back in her chair, continuing to eat the expensive Boston lobster, appearing so serene as if she had not encountered anyone at all. Yan Hang slightly lowered his eyelids, watching her leisurely eat.

Having said that, Lin Ruohan left coldly and haughtily, leaving Yan Hang in a state of confusion. Yan Hang looked at Yi Sheng with curiosity, who at that moment also had a rather poor complexion, appearing somewhat dazed.

He stood up, not looking at Yan Hang, but instead turned to Lin Ruohan, smiling politely, "No need for introductions, we are already acquainted."

With a jolt akin to an electric shock, she released her hand, leaving her hands nowhere to rest but drawn back behind her. She said, "Let's go, please go have a meal."

Ah! Dr. Yan! Suddenly, someone called out from behind him.

Her life felt as if she had been deflated, and she glanced around a bit awkwardly. When she saw that the stir-fried celery with cashews cost 369, she truly felt like crying without tears. Gritting her teeth, she put on an extremely calm expression and said, "One more serving of stir-fried celery with cashews."

Two people walked north along the street, conversing as they went.

With a snort from his nose, he shot him a glance and said, "Wealth and nobility do not necessarily show on the surface, Senior Brother!"

"In a lifetime, it turns out you still have stories to tell." Yan Hang laughed self-deprecatingly. He thought he understood her well, knowing that she had a childhood sweetheart whom she loved dearly, but that sweetheart ended up in a relationship with another girl, breaking her heart. Her father, during her most vulnerable time, engaged in corruption and ended up in prison. At such a young age, she had no choice but to leave home and head north to study, escaping from reality. This was all he knew, yet he did not realize that she still had stories, and they were stories that could not be spoken.

She shot him a glance and immediately picked up a shrimp, "You should have said so earlier"

"Madam, we have something light here. Please take a look," the waiter said with a smile and humility.

That community is a newly developed property, and it is highly likely that the apartments available there are either expensive or luxurious. He pointed to the Ling Tian community that he passed by in his life. He casually glanced at the entrance of the Ling Tian community; this gate was even larger than the main gate of her university. Just the inscription "Ling Tian Community" on the marble indicates the grandeur of this place. ... There is also a giant sculpture at the main entrance, complete with a fountain ...! ... It is just an entrance, yet so much effort has been put into it, which suggests that the interior is even more luxurious. The private cars coming in and out are all imported vehicles worth millions. This community, in a word, is impressive!

This is evidently a single apartment. She looked around quickly, her eyes darting to every corner of the room, but found no clues. She had no choice but to compromise, perhaps she was indeed overthinking it. She said to Yan Hang, "Thank you, senior brother, I will repay you the rent on a monthly basis"

Yan Hang, however, smiled radiantly

Yan Hang merely smiled, while the Bentley that was supposed to be in motion suddenly came to a halt. Yi Sheng looked up at the car, feeling puzzled; could it be that it had broken down? Just as she was thinking this, the Bentley suddenly accelerated and sped away, startling Yi Sheng and causing her to lose her color.

Delicious things are indeed expensive. She can only cry silently for a lifetime, and this time her wallet really needs to go on a diet. Alas, it's a painful experience to put on a facade of wealth. The two of them left the community and walked to the bustling city center.

Aren't you studying fashion design in France? Why have you returned home? Yan Heng was unaware of the connections between them, completely oblivious.

"Is it enough to eat?" Yan Hang's tone was extremely gentle, yet it seemed to conceal a hidden malice behind a smile.

In this bustling area, there is an elegant restaurant that stands out on the entire street. Its exterior is luxurious, and the interior is refined, making it a standard gathering place for the upper class and a great spot for urban professionals to date. Yan Hang brought Yi Sheng here. The two sat by the window, and Yan Hang ordered a French red wine steak and Boston grilled shrimp, then handed the menu to Yi Sheng, asking, "What would you like to eat?"

Smiling on the outside throughout life, yet feeling apprehensive on the inside, I stubbornly declared, "Go ahead and eat, it's on me."

Yan Hang nodded as if he understood, "I remember when we used to have meals together, you loved spicy food, disregarding even the heat it brought. But now, it seems you have lost your appetite"

Senior brother, let me treat you to a meal

Yan Hang laughed heartily, casually wrapping his arm around her and leaning close to her ear, "Is it true that the more golden turtles one has now, the more blessings one receives?"

Thus, she began to eat heartily. Yan Heng, however, watched her eat with a smile, his face bearing an inexplicable sense of satisfaction

"Little Junior Sister, how long do you plan to hold my hand?" Yan Hang said with a mischievous smile.

Lin Ruohan smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I have seen a psychologist for a year and have gone abroad to make a living"

Yisheng pinched his arm directly, saying, "Go to hell." The force was indeed great, and immediately a bruise appeared on Yan Hengbai's tender hand, causing him to hiss in pain. Yisheng looked at him suspiciously, curiously pulling out his hand to take a glance, and was astonished to find that there was indeed a bruise. She stared at Yan Heng with her mouth agape, only to see that the guy was smiling instead of getting angry.

Well, actually I am not a picky eater; the main issue is that I have been experiencing severe heat in my body recently, and eating these things causes throat pain

Pu! Yan Hang finally couldn't help but laugh

The first thing Yansheng looked at was the prices of the dishes on the menu. When she saw that they were all three-digit numbers, her blood ran cold. Senior brother, how can you be so inconsiderate? She hesitated, flipping through the pages back and forth, unable to place an order. She feigned a look of discontent, wearing a face of boredom, saying, "These dishes have no appeal at all."

Cough! She felt choked for a lifetime. She raised her eyes to the hands intertwined with Yan Hang, surveying Lin Ruohan from bottom to top. With her naturally tall stature, long wavy hair dyed in a flaxen color, and a black dress that complemented her fair skin, the initial impression was one of nobility

Enough, lose weight

Lin Ruohan also smiled, "Long time no see, Ye Yisheng." She remained the proud princess with an air of authority even in greeting. Her figure was tall, and even though Yisheng desperately tried to increase his height, he was still half a head shorter than her. Moreover, as she was wearing flat sandals at that moment, Lin Ruohan appeared even taller and more imposing.

Lin Ruohan seemed to sense the gaze of a lifetime, glanced down at her, and was immediately taken aback. Indeed, she should be surprised; an old friend not seen for six years had unexpectedly appeared in such a scenario

Regarding Lin Ruohan's attitude, she has been accustomed to it for eight hundred years. She smiled indifferently and said, "Yes, are you doing well?"

Yan Hang was taken aback for a moment and quickly waved his hand, "How could that be? A person with such high standards as I would never live in such a small house"

Oh, I see. Yan Hang smiled and glanced at Yi Sheng, who was watching them, feeling somewhat uneasy, and said: "Yi Sheng, let me introduce you."

"Little Junior Sister, are you really going to hold this against me?" Yan Hang began to tousle her plush soft hair again, wearing a look of indulgence. Meanwhile, she habitually let out a silly giggle. This had evidently become a signature gesture and an inevitable response between the two of them

It is hard to imagine that Yan Heng could rent such a good apartment. Not only is it located near the Third Hospital, but the community is also new and situated in a bustling area. Considering the housing prices in City B, it is quite expensive. Moreover, most of these apartments are for sale; how could one be available for rent? Upon entering the apartment, Yi Sheng felt something was off. The apartment has two bedrooms and one living room, and the interior decoration is brand new, even the furnishings are the same, making it hard to believe it is meant for rent. Yi Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, this apartment is actually yours, isn't it?"

What else would you like, madam

"Beep beep." A Bentley drove out from the Ling Tian community, honking its horn behind them. Yi Sheng reflexively glanced back, pulling Yan Hang aside to make way, while complaining to Yan Hang, "What a big man, why are you so delicate and tender."

Indeed, haha. Throughout his life, he truly found it difficult to speak, always feeling that he was doing it on purpose

Yan Hang raised his head to look at the source of the voice, stood up, and said, "Lin Ruohan?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment." The waiter, with great poise, collected the menus and bowed to them before departing

At that moment, he finally understood that there were some things that could not be transcended, and he could not delve into that part of her youthful memories. He suddenly became very curious about what kind of person her childhood sweetheart was, who occupied all her youthful memories, including both happiness and sorrow

In fact, he was indeed being intentional, much like during their university days, when he enjoyed teasing her. After the dishes were served, he had a hearty appetite and insisted on having some wine. She initially thought she could just close her eyes, be resolute, and splurge a little more, but to her surprise, the cost of the wine exceeded that of the entire table of dishes, and she could no longer bear it.

Yan Hang helped Yi Sheng tidy up her living space, and it was already past three in the afternoon. Yi Sheng felt quite guilty, and since it was now the beginning of summer, it was somewhat hot, making her feel even more embarrassed

Yan Hang seemed to have anticipated this, a smile on his face, "So what do you like to eat?"

At last, she realized that he was playing with her! Indeed, Yan Hang said: "As your senior brother, it is impossible for me to let my junior sister treat. This meal is on me."

Very good, very good, I will take you to eat something delicious

Alright, still pretending for her! But this time she didn't hold back and said directly: "I have no money left, the expenses here are beyond my means."

"Senior Brother, I beg you, please show some mercy!" After the waiter walked away, Yisheng began to plead softly. Yan Hang looked at Yisheng in surprise, appearing utterly bewildered.

Do you still want to? One truly wants to curse at times, "No need." Striving to suppress one's anger, I respond with a smile

At this moment, Yi Sheng finally calmed down from the earlier tension and raised his eyes, coincidentally meeting Yan Heng's expression that was both smiling and enigmatic. Yi Sheng awkwardly smiled and said, "Senior Brother, what are you looking at?"

Yan Hang had just finished his work, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said breathlessly: "Great, I want to have a feast"

Lin Ruohan smiled and said, "I have been hired by a foreign clothing company with a high salary."

Yisheng's complexion turned pale, and he ceased to speak. Yan Hang was about to say something as he moved his lips, but he noticed that Lin Ruohan's gaze no longer lingered on Yisheng; instead, it shifted to Yan Hang, "Doctor Yan, let's talk another time when you have the chance. I will take my leave now"
