Chapter 691 - Our First Meeting!
Chapter 691 - Our First Meeting!
After Xinyi and Xie Rouxi left her office, Xie Ming also took a leave without treating any patients. She was not feeling well and was experiencing headaches and dizziness after she remembered Xie Ming's memories before she fell into the pool.
She decided to take a taxi since her driver had left after dropping her at the hospital. She was at the entrance gate of the hospital and was about to leave the hospital premises when she heard someone calling her name.
" Xie Ming."
She turned around, only to find Jian Yan standing there with his hands in his pant pockets. He smiled in surprise as he walked to her and said, " It's been a long time, huh?"
Xie Ming smiled mildly and remembered that after the promotional events of Eternal love, she didn't get to meet Jian Yan at all. Because of controversies around her, she didn't participate in many promotional activities which resulted in her distant relationship with others.
" Yes. But what are you doing here??? she asked.
Since the news about her working as a doctor was announced during the press conference, almost everyone knew about this event. So she assumed that he must have known about it too.
"My mother wanted to meet Aunt Yang Mi. She wasn't in the country when she went into labor, so when she came yesterday and found out what happened, she couldn't resist and came here to meet her. So I tagged along as her personal driver." he joked while shrugging his shoulders.
She chuckled and nodded in understanding. Yang Mi has given birth to a beautiful little princess whose name has not been decided yet. The baby is weak considering the circumstances it was delivered, both mother and daughter were advised to stay at the hospital for two weeks under observation. Although she was supposed to be discharged today, she heard from Grandfather Su that Old Lu was insisting her to stay at the hospital for another day and leave after a full body check-up.
Also, she knows that Ms. Wu and Ms.Yang are good friends. It's understandable for her to be so restless about knowing her condition.
" Well, even if you're here to visit Ms. Yang, I don't think you should roam around like this. Otherwise, some weird article will be released about your visit to the hospital in an hour," she said.
" Well, that..can happen. By the way, are you going anywhere? Shouldn't you be treating patients? I was about to visit you at your department and wanted to see how you treat patients. I never saw an actress becoming a doctor, leaving the successful acting career behind." he said.
After news broke out about her leaving the industry to work as a doctor he was quite shocked. Although he didn't know much about Xie Ming because they met only once, when he fell for her and after that, he never gets to see her again, but she didn't look like she was interested in working as a doctor. For being a doctor, it takes so much patience and determination to study, which she didn't have.
But seeing the current Xie Ming, he wanted to see how she looks while treating a patient.
Xie Ming sighed and said, " Ah, I was not feeling quite well, so I decided to take a leave."
Jian Yan frowned and then noticed how pale she looked. He could see sweat beads on her forehead despite the cold weather.
" Not well? Are you sick? Shouldn't you get checked by another doctor? Even if you're a doctor, you should get treated if you're not well." he said worriedly.
She chuckled seeing his worried expressions and said, " I am fine. I am just..a little tired. I was planning to go home and take a rest. Nothing to worry about."
He nodded and said, " Then...let me give you a ride."
"Ride? Oh, no. You don't need to bother about that. I can take a taxi from outside."
" Do you feel uncomfortable around me?" he asked, seeing her rejecting his offer.
She raised her brows and denied, " Uncomfortable? No. Not at all. I just don't want to bother you. Moreover, you're here with Aunt Wu, aren't you?"
"It's fine. It seems like she is planning to stay for the whole day here. Let me give you a ride, it won't be an issue." he said.
In the end, Xie Ming agreed and got in his car.

During the ride, no one spoke. There was an awkward silence as they had nothing to talk about. Jian Yan glanced at her and pursed his lips before speaking, " Xie Ming?"
"Hmm?" she responded while looking out of the window.
" Do you really not remember anything?" he asked.
Xie Ming turned to look at him upon hearing his question. Her lips twitched seeing his serious expressions. She doesn't know why but he looked rather nervous and worried. She remembered he had asked her the same question before as well but didn't say anything.
She could see the frown on his forehead and his eyes were dimmed and looked somewhat sad.
She pursed her lips and asked, " Ermm...remember? About what?" she tried to remember if she forgot about something.
However, no matter how much she tries to remember, she can't think of anything.
Jian Yan took a deep breath and asked, " About our first meeting? Don't you remember anything?"
She raised her brows wondering why was he being so serious about it?
" Our first meeting? Didn't Ms. Wu introduced us when we met at the mall while I was shopping with my mother in law?"
His lips twitched hearing mother in law from her mouth. She was right. They met when his mom introduced him to her as her new friend. He was also surprised that his mom knows her and she looked very different from the Xie Ming he had met when he was young.
His jaw tightened and he pulled the car to the corner, surprising Xie Ming that he stopped it out of nowhere. She looked at him in confusion, when he looked at her with his solemn expressions and leaned in, " So...you remembered only that? And what about our first meeting at SAV high school when we were young? Don't you remember that? huh?"
