[Present Time]
"Doctor Su. Doctor Su. Doctor Su?"
Su YuanHeng opened his eyes and sees the Head Nurse looking at him smiling, "What? You look like you fell asleep?"
"Ah, maybe I dozed off," Su YuanHeng rubbed his eyes and sat up exhaustively.
"Don"t sleep here. Be careful of catching a cold. You can leave work. The representative"s surgery is already finished. It went very smoothly. The Director told you to go home and rest. Come back on Sat.u.r.day."
"Okay."
The brain surgery for the governmental official that secretly got admitted took fourteen hours. Su YuanHeng was responsible for the first six hours, covering the neurological section. Extended period of time from standing in front of the operating table caused his foot to become numb. The aftermath of being overly concentrated made him feel like he"s been awake for a few days and a few nights.
"Nurse Zhang, I"m leaving. Good night."
"Good night."
Su YuanHeng went to the underground parking garage to get his car and started driving home.
He absentmindedly opened the car"s windows. The hot summer wind whirled pa.s.sed his ears.
He thought that he would only dream in the Winter. Who would"ve thought that even during a hot summer day, he would have that dream?
Sure enough he"s overly tired. Or……his heart is exhausted……
Red light.
Su YuanHeng stopped his car in front of the crosswalk. Straight ahead is Time Square Plaza with a giant billboard of the most popular perfume hanging high above the air.
A very handsome, long hair male model"s side profile with his chin slightly raised, his eyes looking cold and indifferent, arrogantly overlooking the ma.s.ses. His black shirt is halfly opened, revealing his perfectly s.e.xy ripped abs with a hidden tattoo of a black rose on the left side of his chest and a black low-waisted leather buckle b.u.t.ton; this look made people even more lost in their wild and fanciful thoughts.
"Werner is really handsome. If a man like him looks at me, I will definitely die right away."
"Forget it. You won"t even make it even if you throw yourself over."
"Hate you!"
"Hahaha….."
The girls stared intently at the billboard, laughing as they walked across the street. The night life has just begun. This city had just awakened.
Su YuanHeng looked at the girls as they walked pa.s.s in front of his car. Hearing their words, he glanced at the giant billboard.
Perfection, mysterious, cold, s.e.xy, wild, strength…
These are the words that the girls used to describe the world"s current most popular man.
Su YuanHeng stared at the billboard, looking at this man"s perfectly indifferent expression. Then, he started his car at the sound of the whistle.
His apartment is located on the outskirts of the city, a little further away from downtown but he likes the quietness and the privacy is good.
After pa.s.sing by the gatekeeper, he parked his car in the underground parking lot. The parking s.p.a.ce next to his is empty.
Su YuanHeng went up to the 18th floor and opened the door. Although it"s the hot summer, the empty entrance hallway still made him feel a little chilly.
Really shouldn"t have brought such a big house back then.
Su YuanHeng thought a little depressingly. He threw the keys on the coffee table, turned on the answering machine and then went into the bedroom to change.
Beep ─ ─ a beautiful voice came from the answer machine.
"h.e.l.lo Mr. Su. I"m Qian"s oldest sister, BeiTang YaZhi."
Su YuanHeng"s hands paused while he is undressing.
"I"ve just returned from America today and wanted to talk to you about some things. If you have time tomorrow, I"ll be waiting for you at the cafe on the 37th floor of the Regal Hotel at 2 pm. Thank you. See you soon."
Su YuanHeng froze for a long while and then disappointingly threw the shirt that was in his hands onto the floor. He walked backward and flopped onto the bed behind him.
—–
BeiTang YaZhi, n.o.ble, elegant, and beautiful, is BeiTang Corporation"s current leader.
Ten years, the years seem like it did not leave the slightest trace on her.
Su YuanHeng walked into the café and saw the striking and refined figure at a glance.
The BeiTang family members seemed to have a natural unspeakable attraction. No matter where they are, they are always the most eye-catching. Even though BeiTang YaZhi is 39 years old, she is still as beautiful as ever.
"Mr. Su, long time no see."
"Mrs. Ji, greetings."
BeiTang YaZhi smiled gracefully, "Mr. Su, how have you been? Since HuiZhi"s surgery, we seem to have……not met for nearly ten years, right?"
"Yes, how is Ms. HuiZhi"s health lately?"
"Very good. Why? Did Qian not tell you?"
Su YuanHeng smiled, "No."
BeiTang YaZhi sighed, "I have not seen Qian for a long time. How have he been?"
Su YuanHeng sipped his coffee, then gently put the cup down and casually responded, "I also don"t know. I haven"t seen him for a long time."
BeiTang YaZhi looked at him, "I thought you two live together."
Su YuanHeng softly laughed, "If you think so, then consider it is."
"Consider it is?" BeiTang YaZhi raised her eyebrows, her manners graceful with her gentle eyes revealing a tinge of perceptiveness. "Mr. Su, there is something I don"t know if it"s appropriate to ask or not."
“Just ask,” Su YuanHeng likely knew what she wanted to say.
"Qian and you, what is your relationship?"
Qian and I. What is our relationship?
Su YuanHeng also wanted to ask this question all along.
That one glance ten years ago made him fall in love at first sight with that boy. Before then, he never knew that he liked men. But "liking" is liking, "in love" is in love. Because of this inexplicable relationship, Su YuanHeng has also suffered.
He never tried to fight for anything and never took the initiative, yet Qian came to find him himself.
When BeiTang YaZhi left, she softly uttered a few words, "If you see Qian, please tell him that he should return home."
Yes. As a successor to the BeiTang family, he can"t easily discard his responsibilities. Six years away from home, Qian, you have rebelled enough.
Sitting alone in the cafe, looking out the 37th floor windows, the distance from the sky is so close; the distance from the ground is so far away.
Su YuanHeng recalled the scene from when he first saw that person. It was like the two poles of heaven and earth suddenly met in an instant.
[Flashback]
The long white corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant everywhere. He was hastily pulled out of the lab to the emergency room where a teenager was casually standing, surrounded by a group of people.
Su YuanHeng saw him at first glance in the crowd because he looked so eye-catchingly striking. A well-fitting black Armani suit worn on the fourteen-year-old teenager"s youthful tall and straight body is very distinctive.
He walked over and the teenager raised his eyes. Looking past the surrounding people, he casted a cold and arrogant glance at him.
Su YuanHeng had no way to describe his eyes; they are very beautiful, so beautiful that it doesn"t look like a boy. But his gaze was very sharp, so sharp that it doesn"t look like a teenager.
"We are looking for Doctor Oscar. Only Doctor Oscar can perform surgery on her!" A woman, looking frantic screamed as she grabbed onto the teenager"s hands, "We can"t hand HuiZhi over to such a young doctor!"
"If we wait till eldest sister return with Doctor Oscar from America, you can just help collect her body," the teenager shook her off with cold indifference.
"Qian! How can you say that! HuiZhi is your twin sister! She got seriously injured from saving you!" the woman collapsed.
"So that is why I will make the decision on her life."
The teenager stepped forward, his dark eyes is like the quiet moonlight.
"Are you the best neurosurgeon here?"
Su YuanHeng came back to his senses and replied, "Yes, I"m the best neurosurgeon."
"But you are very young," The teenager"s eyes looked at him probingly.
"You"re also very young."
The two silently looked at each other. A man leaned over to the young teenager and whispered, "Young Master, I know him. A gifted medical genius at the age of seventeen, who has made outstanding achievements in cranial nerves and is Doctor Oscar"s favorite student."
Su YuanHeng, "Regardless of your decision, I need to go in to see the patient now."
He bypa.s.sed them and walked into the emergency room.
The girl"s condition is worse than he imagined. This was obviously from a car accident but the most fatal is the bullet in the back of her brain.
The bullet must be removed immediately; it can"t be delayed for another moment.
Su YuanHeng didn"t know how the teenager made his decision. He remembered that the surgery consent form was actually signed by the teenager, 14 years old at that time, signing his name - BeiTang MinQian.
BeiTang is an ancient and prosperous family that once occupied an important page in the history of this country. Even though its progress has been gradual till now, it still continued to flourish.
