CHAPTER 227

"So, will you give me a chance? Will you give of a chance to be together, Yi Changying? Will you be my girlfriend?" Yang Chen asked while staring deeply into her eyes.

They say the eyes are a mirror to one's soul. Yang Chen could see that Yi Changying really loved him. But there was this... fear in her eyes. She was scared of having her past repeat itself.

Yi Changying let out a shaky breath as she averted her eyes from his soul searching one. She was pondering on her thoughts.

"You know if you feel that you are not ready... If you feel your heart is not prepared yet, I can still wait. How about that?" Yang Chen asked after seeing the uncertainty in her eyes.

"Okay," Yi Changying agreed with a small smile.

"Alright then. Come on I am starving and my headaches are not being lenient with me," he took her hands and both of them stood up from the couch.

"Just 'alright then'?" She asked.

"What? I said I will wait since you are not ready to give us a chance," he repeated.

"That u snot the okay I meant," Yi Changying said with a lowered voice. "I meant okay as in I will give us a chance."

"Wait what? Are you serious?" Yang Chen asked to clarify. He did not want to get his hopes up.

"I am serious. I will be your girlfriend. I want to be loved by you. So, yes. I will give us a chance," she said again and this time her words came out bold and sure.

"Aahh!! Yes. Thank you, thank you, thank you," Yang Chen shouted at the top of his voice as he lifted Yi Changying off her feet, twirling together.

"Hahaha. Put me down, Chen."

"Sigh. Thank you so much. You do not know what this means to me. I am so happy that I can't explain what I am feeling now," he said.

"Me too. But now that u have agreed to date you, you can't cheat on me, understood? If you do, I will not hesitate to leave you and quit my job as your assistant," she warned.

"Yes, boss. I will be a one-woman-man just for you," Yang Chen promised and sealed it with another kiss.

"I love you, Yi Changying," he declared.

"I love you too. Please, don't break my heart," she said

"I won't. Now, can I have that hangover soup? In any moment from now, I might drop on the floor," he said much to Yi Changying's amusement.

"Stop wishing negative things on yourself. Also, it will be your fault if such a thing happens. If you had not disturbed me in the kitchen, your headache would have been subsiding by now," Yi Changying said as both of them strolled into the kitchen.

"If I had not disturbed you, we would have not been official and I will still be waiting frustratingly for you to tell me you love me," he countered with a cute pout.

"Sigh. Whatever," she rolled her eyes.

At City A Hospital.

Ye Chaoxiang had just finished a very tiring surgery of six hours. He was totally drained and exhausted.

He had not even called anyone yet. His two friends and his girlfriend. He had not even had time to go home for the last three days.

The hospital had been so damned busy. Sigh. He hoped they would understand him, especially Ning Xiaozhi.

They had just started their relationship and he wanted it to continue running smoothly. But with the way he had been swamped, he had a huge doubt.

"Sigh. I hope she is an understanding girlfriend. But she had quite a temper," he murmured.

"Please, God, help me make her forgive me for not calling her or texting either," he prayed.

Ning Xiaozhi was excited to see Ye Chaoxiang that afternoon. She wanted to see him so she rushed over.

"Hi, good afternoon. Is Doctor Ye Chaoxiang in his office?" She asked the last sitting behind a table.

The lady looked up at her and sneered. She ignored Ning Xiaozhi and focused on what she was doing.

Ning Xiaozhi was taken back by the kady's actions. She was speechless for a while. Let out a long sigh, she smiled and asked again.

"Excuse me, I asked you a question. Is Doctor Ye Chaoxiang in?"

"Are you blind or what? Can't you see that I am busy? Besides, do you have an appointment to meet the doctor? Also, my doctor is not seeing anyone," the lady replied rudely.

Ning Xiaozhi smoked at the lady. Without another word, she fished her phone out of her purse and failed a number. Immediately the call got connected, she spoke.

"It looks like I have to have some stupid appointment before I can meet my own boyfriend. Since I was told that you will not be seeing anyone, perhaps I should take my leave," Ning Xiaozhi said with a cold voice.

With that said, she ended the call without waiting to hear what the person on the other side of the phone had to say. She turned to look at the lady behind the desk. It turns out, she had a mocking smile on her face.

If only she had known who she spoke rudely to earlier.

"I hope you will not regret your choice of words earlier," Ning Xiaozhi said.

"Oh, trust me. I will not, hmph," the last said and threw her head to the side.

"Very well then. Chao," Ning Xiaozhi waved and turned to leave.

Just as she was about exiting the place, the sound of a door opening and closing could be heard. Before the lady could say anything as she was shocked at the hurried manner the person had stepped out, he shouted.

"Darling, can't."

Ning Xiaozhi smiled triumphantly but she did not bother to stop on her tracks. Instead, she increased her pace.

Seeing as she was leaving so quickly, Ye Chaoxiang rushed after her and caught up to her. He stood in front of her with both hands stretched open.

Ning Xiaozhi finally stopped walking but she still did not look at him. She folders her arms and turned her face sideways silently telling him she did not want to see him.

"Sigh. Hey, babe," Ye Chaoxiang called out but he was answered with her silence.

"Darling, please looks at me," he pleaded.

"I do not want to," Ning Xiaozhi simply said with a slight pout.

"Why? Did I do something wrong?" He asked.

"Yes, you did." Another short response.

"Tell me so that I could apologize."

"You did not want to see me when I came to see you. That lady over there said that I had no appointment too. So, I can't you," she pointed to the last from earlier.

Ye Chaoxiang followed her line of sight and saw who she was referring to. Frowning slightly, he took Ning Xiaozhi by her hand and lightly pulled her to follow him to meet the lady.

"Xi Nuan, why did you not let her in?" He asked.

"She did not have an appointment and you said you did not want to see anyone," the last Xi Nuan replied with a slightly trembling voice.

"What? When did I give you such orders? You did not even inform me?" He almost shouted.

"But you were looking tired from the surgery. I thought you would not need to see anyone," she tried to make him see her intention.

"I did not ask you to decide for me. Stop thinking for me. What is wrong with you?"

"Chaoxiang, please do not blame the lady. Although she was very rude even asking if I was blind, she was just trying to do her job," Ning Xiaozhi said in a meek voice.

Anyone that would hear her speak now would think that she was a kind lady. But Xi Nuan and Ning Xiaozhi knew better. Ning Xiaozhi was intentionally bringing up the fact that Xi Nuan insulted her.

This would further make Ye Chaoxiang furious and scold Xi Nuan even more. Xi Nuan was very surprised at how gentle Ning Xiaozhi could be in contrast to how she was before.

"What? She even insulted you? The audacity," he said.

"I did no such thing. She was the one who kept asking if you were in the office. It was disturbing," Xi Nuan said in an outburst.

"Why would I not disturb? I came to look for my boyfriend. I missed work, you know. And she even went as far as ignoring me," she said in an annoyed and spoiled tone.

"You did?" Ye Chaoxiang asked in disbelief.

It was the first time she came to see him at his place of work. To think that she would forsake her job just to come and see him warmed his heart.

There was no way he would allow another person, a woman at that to make her regret it.

"I did. Maybe I should just go back home since I will not be able to go back to work. The next time I want to see you, I will bool an appointment or I will just see you at home," Ning Xiaozhi said and attempted to leave but Ye Chaoxiang held her tightly.

"You can't go when you just arrived. As for you, kiss your job goodbye."
