[Rekindled romance | Straight-talking doctor x CEO who mistook her for a puppy | Two strong leads | He’s eight years older]
Seven years ago, he kissed her first, then told her to forget it.
Xu Tangning agreed. For the next seven years, she never went looking for Shen Yanchuan again.
Seven years later, she kissed him first, then pulled away just as he tried to hold her close.
“Big brother, can’t you handle this?”
Shen Yanchuan’s ears turned red, but unlike seven years ago, he didn’t decide what came next for her. He simply held her hand and asked softly, “Are you sure you want me to stop holding back?”
Back then, she waited for him to explain. In the end, all she got was, “Forget it.”
Now he waited for her to turn back to him. If she wanted to get close, he would welcome her. If she was still angry, he would own up to it. The Chengchuan CEO, who never yielded an inch in the boardroom, even watched her reaction before clasping Xu Tangning’s hand.
As it happened, they met again in the emergency room at two in the morning.
She was an emergency physician at Affiliated No. 1 Hospital; he was the Chengchuan executive responsible for the patient’s transfer. Forty-one minutes were missing from the medical records, and the patient arrived at Affiliated No. 1 four hours and forty minutes after the ambulance left.
Xu Tangning wanted to investigate, so he handed over the original records, even though Chengchuan might pay the price in the end.
Seven years ago, he told her to forget that kiss. This time, he would watch her uncover the truth with his own eyes, then wait for her to decide whether she wanted him.
