The Emperor's Pampered Wife

He never imagined that his first meeting with the Daredevil would take place in his very office. This is all thanks to his dear Little Zhao.

Tengfei took a sip of his coffee and stared at the family picture he had with Li Zhao. Indeed, Ji Li Zhao is his lucky charm.

A soft knock resonated across the room, disturbing Tengfei"s wonderful train of thoughts.

"Director Han"  His a.s.sistant, Zu Deming called out before glancing at the woman beside him. He sighed and opened the door. "I brought Doctor Hou"

"Ah, yes" Tengfei immediately bolted up to greet his guest. He was known to be a really cold hearted doctor, so when he flashed a smile, Deming felt himself freeze. The ferocious master he had served for many years actually flashed a smile to new recruit such as Hou Wei Yan.

Did he eat a mushroom or something? Why is he hallucinating impossible things!?

Deming rubbed his eyes repeatedly, but when the smile remained in his master"s face, he felt like the whole world is coming to an end.

Wei Yan fully walked inside and bowed down to the Director. "I"m Doctor Hou Wei Yan of the Cardio Department"

When she raised her head and noticed Tengfei"s warm smile, Wei Yan smiled back the same way, not knowing that the a.s.sistant was dumbfounded to the point of no return.

"Please take a seat Doctor Hou" He offered before taking a seat on the couch. Wei Yan followed suit and sat down in an elegant manner. Tengfei can"t help but nod his head at her little actions. She was raised a n.o.ble.

"Would you like some coffee?"

Deming glanced at Tengfei with an unreadable expression. "The Director is offering her coffee?"

His master has a lot of pride and he has countless reasons to be proud. He was never humble to others unless he sees just how vast their knowledge is compared to him. They must be in the same platform for him to be nice.

Seriously, what is wrong with Han Tengfei today?

"Ah, I"m okay Director. I"m trying to reduce my caffeine intake" Wei Yan humbly answered with the truth. Lately, she"s having stomachache due to her constant coffee getaway with Xie Na.

"Then tea perhaps? Or Juice?" Tengfei asked nicely. He wanted to serve Wei Yan to the best he can in atonement for all the hurtful words he sprouted in front of Ji Li Zhao.

Wei Yan stared at the Director and was taken aback by him. She was told the Han Tengfei had a temper and his att.i.tude towards his juniors are exceptionally sour. But what she"s looking at right now is the complete opposite of what they said. Was all of it just baseless rumors? Did they tell her that to scare her?

After awhile of doubt, Wei Yan stared at his eyes and noticed that he really wanted to serve her something. As the guest, when offered something that came from the heart, she has to accept. "I"ll go with Lemon Juice"

"Deming" Tengfei immediately called out. Deming flinched but he easily regained hs composure.

Deming took Tengfei"s empty cup and bowed down before leaving the two of them alone.

Once left alone, Tengfei observed Wei Yan and tried to recall the memories he had with her in the past. She was first introduced to him by Yixue who kidnapped Wei Yan from Mei Yi on their cla.s.s reunion.

Wei Yan was only 5 years old then, so she probably doesn"t remember him. And the accident she had which made her loss her memory must have wiped out every memory she had with the Han family.

Thinking back, Wei Yan used to be quite chubby and her cheeks like a baozi. Her brown hair was always tied to a twin bun resembling Puca"s signature hair style. The only thing that remained the same was her glistening green eyes which Mei Yi always brags about.

Now that chubby kid is no more. In front of him a real G.o.ddess, which his son managed to capture. Ah, Li Zhao is indeed lucky.

"Did you summon me here regarding Jiang Yanyan and Lu Huan, Director?" Wei Yan suddenly asked which made the old man snap out of it.

Tengfei can"t help but smile at her. So she"s concerned about that matter even though it was already thoroughly cleaned? "Did you do something wrong to them?"

Silence filled the room but it didn"t take long for Wei Yan to regain her composure. She cannot say that she wronged Lu Huan because his arrest was the consequence of his crimes. She wasn"t the one that fired Jiang Yanyan as well. Her husband must have something to do with it but she can"t accuse him because she holds no solid proof.

Her only downside, was perhaps her sudden lose of control during her confrontation with Jiang Yanyan in the emergency room. "I slapped Jiang Yanyan"

A chuckle cameout of the Esteemed Master Surgeon"s lips when he heard this. My, she"s quite an honest one. She could have hidden that minor thing. "I know what happened, child. Your actions are only minimal to what they deserve"

"Then, why did Director summon me?" Wei Yan directly said when she heard this. He already knows everything, and yet why did he summon her?

Tengfei held back his laughter and smiled quite strictly. "I know who you are"

"Sir?"

He knew she would act clueless, but he can"t let her get away anymore. "Daughter of Hou Guanyu and Xing Mei Yi. The heir to Princess Xings fortune and Hou Household"

Wei Yan remained silent after he said such a thing. Well, it"s no surprise anymore that he would know. She only managed to keep it from everyone in the lower department because they weren"t people who would bother doing an investigation. After sighing, Wei Yan relaxed herself and seriously stated her position.

"I am indeed their daughter but not their heir. I am now a doctor in Yi Lan, such t.i.tle serves no purpose anymore"

Tengfei nodded his head at her answer. "Hmm, is this why you kept your background hidden from everyone in the hospital?"

Wei Yan glanced at Tengfei before looking at her palm. "I don"t want them to see me as an heir and stick around because of it"

Ever since she was young, Wei Yan had encountered countless people who stayed beside her for the benefit they will get from her family. It was evident when she left for states. The people who referred themselves as her friend disappeared and now lingers around the fake daughter.

Only those whom she shared a deep bond with remained by her side, staying strong despite all the tides and lies Fe Rou Chao and Fe Chungsa created.

Now that she"s returned with no one really remembering who she was, it"s time to start over and not commit the same mistakes again.

She"s no longer an heiress but a full fledged doctor.

"I see" Tengfei stated with a confident smile. For a woman with such influence to forgo her fortune, that"s a big feat not everyone can make. "But above all else, I"m interested in your other t.i.tle"

"Other t.i.tle?" Wei Yan asked, quite appalled by his sudden statement. Other t.i.ttle? What other t.i.ttle does she have that"s worth more than her family status?

Tengfei watched her closely as she confusion overwrote her confidence. "Doctor Hou graduated and worked in America"

"I grew interested because you graduated quite early despite starting late" he added which effectively took Wei Yan by surprise.

Silence was the only thing Wei Yan can reply. This topic...she didn"t like where it"s heading.

"I received some files regarding your achievements and I was astonished by it"

Once again, silence filled the room as Wei Yan refuse to speak her opinion. She"s not dumb not to know where he is heading.

But what confused her was his source of such information.

After a few seconds of silence from bothe parties, a soft knock on the door interrupted them. "Sir"

"Ah, come in Deming" Tengfei answered and invited the young man.

Deming glanced at both of them while he served their beverages. He can"t help but notice Wei Yan"s silence.

Upon receiving her beverage, Wei Yan glanced at Deming and smiled warmly at him. "Thank you"

Her smile made Deming blush for a little and hastily leave the office. Tengfei can"t help but sigh at this. They say a woman"s smile are men"s weakness.

He knew just Wei Yan"s nature so he can"t reprimand her at all.

Tengfei sipped his coffee and directly asked Wei Yan, giving her no break at all. "Did you know we went to America?"

"Yes, sir" Wei Yan answered immediately, now slightly afraid of the cunning doctor.

"Why did we go there?" Tengfei asked, not wanting to let go of the topic. He"s slowly heading towards his goal.

Xie Na, the gossiper told her everything she needed to know. "I heard you went for a seminar along the other doctors"

"Hmm, that"s not entirely wrong" he smiled when he heard of this answer. Yes, indeed. Everyone knows that fact, but no one knows his hidden agenda.

Those doctors could have managed on their own. Yet, he personally went despite the protest he received from his fellow directors. "But I have another purpose for accompanying them"

"The US Daredevil" Tengfei immediately said, taking Wei Yan by surprise.

"I wanted to meet the Daredevil. I was his fan, but he wasn"t there" he added. "They said he went back to his homeland"

With Tengfei"s obvious remark, Wei Yan can"t help but smile and sip her beverage. There"s no point denying because she knew where he was heading. "I see, that"s quite unfortunate, Director"

"I"m actually fortunate" Tengfei blurted out. "I don"t have to travel far to meet the Daredevil"

He stared at Doctor Hou who was confidently sipping her juice while keeping silent regarding his statement. A smile went through his face as he placed his hands together as though intimidating the woman. "Because she"s already here in front of me"

Wei Yan can only stare at him and sigh. And the bomb has been dropped.

Such rare knowledge, where did he acquire it?

Wei Yan never liked bothering her parents nor her other family members, specially those from the Xings. For this matter, she broke her practice and asked her mother to conceal her ident.i.ty.

When the Xings take actions, they were known to be thorough. Unless it came directly from them, one will never know. Does he have connections within her family?

With this thought, Wei Yan turned serious. Did someone finally betray and broke the protocols? "How did you know, Director Han?"

"I have my own sources, Doctor Hou" Tengfei answered confidently. This only made Wei Yan feel as though a big trick has been played.

How much does he know? She had long turned her back on the business industry, thus she knew little to nothing regarding the current rulers of the game. She already detached herself from the war ensuing among the business giants and the powerful households of the nation.

Is he perhaps a member of the Royalties?

If he was, it"s surprising how he managed to bypa.s.s the Xings and acquire this rare trump card against her.

Is he a friend or a foe? Their spy or a spy sent by others?

"Why did you hide such ident.i.ty?" Tengfei asked which broke Wei Yan"s inner debate. When he noticed Wei Yan"s conflicted face, Tengfei suddenly realized his mistake. "Ah, just to be clear, I am not here to make enemy of you or your family. I"m asking as the Director of the hospital"

Wei Yan remained mute. Tengfei sighed at this before standing up. He walked towards his table and retrieved a picture frame. Once he sat back down, he handed it to Wei Yan and smiled. "I know your mother well. I"m her cla.s.smate since middle school to high school"

She stared at the picture frame in her hands and trembled at it"s sight. Her mother had a huge picture of their cla.s.s back in the Xing Mansion. She said that she experienced the happiness of being a youth during her high school. This picture is a treasure to her mother and to her who had listened to all her stories in the past.

Slowly, she handed it back to him and sighed. "I don"t want to attract attention"

"I"m not using that name any longer" Wei Yan added as she remembered her main purpose of doing such an act. She didn"t want recognition. All she wants to gain is the knowledge and skills that can save the lives of many. That"s why she hid her abilities and disguised herself as the Daredevil in order to partake in the surgeries without becoming a VIP doctor.

She wanted to remain in the ER. If she had shown to the world her abilities, she"d be taken away from the place she longed for. To her, she belongs to the ER where she can use her abilities, not for the wealthly but for those truly in need.

Besides, she knew she"ll never grow under a shady environment such as the VIP ward. She can only enhance her skills in the field where battle truly exist in a daily basis.

"I see"

Wei Yan looked at Tengfei seriously. "I hope Director Han won"t spread this"

Tengfei can only smile at her. He waved her hands at her and shook his head. "I told you, I"m your fan. I will do anything my idol wants"

"But as a Director, I can"t let your talent go to waste" he suddenly blurted which took Wei Yan"s attention back to him. "I want to take you in as an apprentice"

"Apprentice?" Wei Yan can"t help but ask. She thought he got her point already. She wants to remain an ordinary doctor. She wants to continue serving those in dire need.

"You can work alone, but there are things you can further do if you"re my apprentice" Tengfei stated in order to catch Wei Yan. "Besides, I need your help on things. Its no secret anymore that you"re skills may surpa.s.s mine. I have tons of patients waiting for surgery and I strongly believe that your skills will be of great help"

"You want me to help with your surgeries?"

"That"s right" Tengfei said. He knows the Daredevil"s quirks. She never operate for the VIPs unless they are truly in need and not there for drama. "They are non-VIPs"

"Like you, I don"t serve for the wealthly" he added which seems to worl well against Wei Yan. "Well, are you willing?"

After a few seconds of silence and deliberation, Wei Yan smiled. "Why not. If I"m needed, I will surely help"

Tengfei who heard this clasped his hands together. He knew he could trap her well. Wei Yan is intelligent but her kindness always overule that.

"You remind me somehow of my son. A less troublesome version of him" he stated when he spotted their resemblance. His son, although dumb, always says such phrase as though it"s his motto in life.

Another skilled doctor has landed in his nest. Surely, he will never let her talent go to waste.
