Chapter 6
“She deserved it for her contributions yesterday.” Lieutenant Shang agreed
“Also...” Gu Mingchen'’s eyes darkened. “Recruit two doctors into the special forces this year. So that we won't have emergency situations where we have to get help from members of the public again. Ensuring safety and order is the military's duty.”
"Yes, sir.” Lieutenant Shang obeyed.
"What's our schedule today like?” Gu Mingchen asked while he put on his uniform.
Wearing that uniform, he reflected uprightness and resplendent.
Lieutenant Shang looked at him respectfully and reported, “Chief, you have a meeting at 9 a.m. at the military base. After that, you need to attend an internal military inspection. In the evening, you have an appointment with the air force chief, Chief Su at the military club. He asked you to bring your girlfriend along.”
"You can ask him to kill himself.” Gu Mingchen said coldly.
Hearing that, Lieutenant Shang lowered his head.
He did not have the nerves to say that. But the chief does not have a girlfriend. What should I do? Bai Rong returned to the office after performing her last surgery of the day.
Her good friend, Liu Yan, who was waiting for her in her office chair, had a mischievous glint in the eyes. “Guess what news I am here with.”
"Good or bad news?” Bai Rong asked. She walked towards Liu Yan after washing her hands.
Liu Yan stood up and seated Bai Rong down. She then sat on the desk and looked at her friend excitedly. It looked like she had gossip to share. “I have one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Bai Rong retrieved a patient's file and smiled, “I'll listen to the good news. You can keep the bad news to yourself."
Liu Yan pursed her lips. “Look at you. Did you help to deliver babies at the military base again yesterday?”
"Yeah, I happened to be in the office.” Bai Rong elaborated, before continuing to write notes on the patient's file.
“That woman you operated on came to me for a vaginal constriction operation, and mentioned she wanted to sue you. I heard she’s a mistress of some high-ranking official. Why did you bother to save such a woman?” Liu Yan felt bad for Bai Rong.
However, the latter did not even lift up her head and merely said, “To me, she’s just a pregnant woman who was giving birth. Is the child ok?”
“Both mother and child are safe. But there's good news too. As you have performed a meritorious service for the military, you have been promoted to deputy head! You need to give me a treat to celebrate.” Liu Yan snatched Bai Rong's pen away and giggled.
Bai Rong looked at Liu Yan. “Sure. But I need to finish my report before we can leave.”
Returning the pen to her friend, Liu Yan said, “Hurry up, don't stop writing!”
They walked out of the office together after Bai Rong was done.
Just then, Su Xuyan was walking towards them, holding a bouquet of roses.
Liu Yan gave Bai Rong a nudge and teased, “Looks like you have a date tonight. I shall not be a spoilsport. Ill get my treat from you another day!”
Bai Rong looked at the man.
He saw her too. But he simply gave a sly smile and shot her a sharp gaze before walking into VIP room 1308.
Liu Yan's eyes widened. She pointed at Su Xuyan and asked in bewilderment, “Why did he go into that woman's room? Don't tell me he is that high-ranking official?!”
Bai Rong’s eyes were downcast and her long lashes covered her eyelids. “Let's go.”
"How can we go?!” Liu Yan was angry. She tugged on Bai Rong's arm.
"When he was chasing you, the flowers he sent were enough to fill your office. Now that he got you, he is treating you like a faded beauty? How can he do that?! Not only is he having an affair, that woman even gave birth to that b*stard child! Bai Rong, if you continue being so easygoing, you are going to lose your position in the family sooner or later.” Liu Yan could not stand the injustice Bai Rong was suffering from.
Bai Rong forced a smile and looked resigned. Looking at Liu Yan, she said, “Do you think I care about being Mrs. Su?”
"You can't say that! As long as he is still your husband, he is not supposed to fool around. But now they even have a kid!” Liu Yan was getting increasingly agitated.
Bai Rong could feel tears welling up in her eyes, but she fought hard to keep them in.
“If 1 am angry, it means that I care. I don't want to be angry.” Bai Rong said coldly.
“But you do care! I know you are sad. Not saying doesn’t mean not feeling. Su Xuyan is too much. Let's go! Give him a taste of his own medicine. Let him know how this feels!" Liu Yan walked away, dragging Bai Rong along.
"Yan, I don't want to do that. If I behave the same way as him, I'll be letting myself down.” Bai Rong was unwilling.
A sly look flashed across Liu Yan's eyes. “Fine. Let's just go for dinner then.”
Outside the hospital, Liu Yan made a phone call. “Dude, do you still have your military club VIP card? I need to borrow it. I'll buy you dinner next time.”
Bai Rong looked at Liu Yan. “Isn't it my treat tonight?” Bai Rong asked in doubt.
“It's your treat, but we are using my friend's card. Even if we don't use his card, he will let other women use it. For the sake of all other women, let's burst his credit limit.” Liu Yan chuckled. She held Bai Rong’s arm and pulled her along.
“That's not very nice. I'll pay him back later.”
“I am using his card, so just pay me if you want. Let's go back to my house first. Ill put on some makeup for you. You look so bad that the security guard at the club may call the cops.” Liu Yan said cheekily.
Bai Rong was speechless.
When they reached the club, Bai Rong found a chair to sit on. She kept trying to pull up her dress collar. But when she did that, the dress became so short that it barely covered her thighs.
Seeing how excited Liu Yan was, Bai Rong felt that she had fallen into some trap.
Not only did that friend of hers make her wear a deep v braces skirt, her make-up was so thick that even her mother could hardly recognize her.
“Can we leave soon?” Bai Rong urged Liu Yan. She had drunk too much and her head felt heavy. “We are staying a while more. Do you know what kind of people come here?” Liu Yan's eyes twinkled as she asked.
“Aliens? I didn't know you are researching aliens now.” Bai Rong was uninterested.
“So creative of you. People who visit here have at least a lieutenant rank. They are fit, handsome, respectable and have powerful connections. If you manage to seduce any one of them tonight, you will be in for a treat.” Liu Yan finally let out her true intentions.
Bai Rong pressed on her forehead and shut her eyes for a quick rest. “No way, you're crazy.” She mumbled.
Just then, Liu Yan glanced towards the door. The man who had just walked in had a strong aura. Even the manager received him personally.
The man did not proceed to the main hall. Instead, he was directed respectfully by the manager to a private room. It was the Diamond private room which cost a dear price.
Most importantly, that man had unbelievable good looks. He had deep features that were sculpted to perfection, like a piece of art created by God.
It had to be him.
In a secretive manner, Liu Yan asked for a glass of water from the bartender.
She then threw a pink color pill into the glass and nudged Bai Rong. “Rong, wake up. Finish this glass of water and I will send you back to rest.”
Half awake, Bai Rong squinted her eyes at Liu Yan. She took the glass without thinking, drank a big mouthful of water, and let the water sip down her throat slowly...
