Chapter 1: A Little Punishment
Ye Yan hung up the unrelenting phone and pushed open the door to the conference room.
She was wearing a lotus root color tweed coat today and had not yet managed to put on her white lab coat, the warm color with its hint of purple and pink complementing her skin, pale as snow, and endowing her with a delicate beauty.
Her beauty was not the vibrant kind, but rather the ethereal type that seemed untouched by the worldly sphere.
Fu Xingzhou looked up from his coffee as the door opened.
Those eyes, clear and cold, held a defiance that seemed to come from someone perched high above the clouds, looking down upon the common fray with a disdain that suggested nothing in the world could catch his interest.
From the moment Ye Yan stood still, his gaze never left her.
It was as if a wild beast had licked its paws, greedily and persistently staring down its prey.
His unrestrained watching made the dean beside him break out in a cold sweat. Yet when he looked at Ye Yan, she seemed unaffected, her expression serene as ever.
True to her reputation as the ice queen of their hospital, she was thoroughly unfazed having seen it all before.
The dean looked again towards the figure seated at the head of the room.
That morning, Nurse Xiao, while administering an injection to V8 bed's Old Sir Fu, had inadvertently struck twice, enraging the old gentleman. Mr. Fu had been relentless, and in the end, had summoned this figure over.
