154: Play!

Play!

Now when he met her, he was first suspicious of her when he heard her call moonpie in the hospital ward. At that time, nobody other than her was present in the ward.2

Then all the characteristics of her that resembled his cookie, the taste of her cooking and everything else planted a sprout of suspicion in his heart.

Now looking at the report on his screen, the suspicion or doubt in his heart turned into a confirmation.

But what he couldn't figure out was that how could this be possible! He knew that the original Mo Ran had died but now that this new girl resembled her so much, no matter how smart he was, Xi Ting could not figure out what had happened.

At first, he thought that this girl was deliberately imitating his cookie to come closer to him. But when he asked Xi Jung about her, the investigation done by Xi Jung told that she had never come in contact with either Mo Ran or him. This left him puzzled.

He also thought at some point of time that she was trying to get close to his son to get him. After all, he had seen many pursuits like this. He always had a seed of doubt towards everyone else that they are coming for his power.

Most people would think that he was extremely narcissistic and arrogant to think like this, but rich and beautiful people are the most pitiful in these cases. They have to judge everybody if they are coming for their beauty, power or if the person really likes and loves them.

This was imbibed in Xi Ting's bones from his childhood. Countless people came to him to curry favour. They would also send their daughters in hopes that he would like them and they would benefit from the marriage alliance.

This was the reason that Xi Ting had a very few friends who he treated genuinely. They were all from top families and he knew that they didn't really need to befriend him to gain any benefits. All of them kept their personal and professional lives separate.

Similarly, in case of Qin Yan, he had imagined countless things but he could never imagine that she had transmigrated.

He also considered if she had done a plastic surgery to change her appearance, but he dispelled the thought when he came to know that her body was already buried.

This suspense made him restless.

THE PRESENT!

Xi Ting was very excited and nervous at the same time. He looked at his watch time to time but time seemed to pass too slow for him.

Qin Yan had told him that they would reach the destination by 6 pm. For that they would leave the house by 5.30 pm.

Just as he looked at his watch again, he heard the doorbell ring. He got up immediately to open the door.

As expected, Qin Yan was standing there. She had changed her outfit in her condo and came fully refreshed. She looked beautiful and young. The only stain on her beauty was the cast in her hand. She looked calm on surface, but if looked carefully, her hands were trembling.

Compared to Xi Ting's excitement and nervousness, Qin Yan was too anxious. After all, she was going to reveal the truth. The truth that was so unbelievable. She was anxious that Xi Ting would not believe her or if he believed, he would not consider her as a human.

'What if he thinks that I am a monster and leaves me alone again?' Countless negative thoughts ran in Qin Yan's mind. But it was her heart that gave her the courage and a ray of positive light.

"Ready to go?" She asked the man standing in front of her with a forced smile.

Xi Ting noticed Qin Yan's anxiousness and reached out to hold her hand, "Don't worry, whatever it is, I will never let you go again. Let's go through all this together."

Qin Yan pressed Xi Ting's palm and his words made her relax. She took a deep breath and looked into his eyes before saying, "Let's go."

The duo left the society in Xi Ting's car and Qin Yan gave the driver the address of the destination she wanted to take him to.

They did not let go of each other's hands throughout the ride. As the destination came closer, Qin Yan's anxiousness increased. Xi Ting felt it and thus patted her hand lightly assuring her that he was there for her. Qin Yan kept taking deep breaths throughout the ride.

As they reached the destination, the duo got out of the car. Standing before them was an old building that seemed somewhat ancient.

Qin Yan pulled Xi Ting towards the entrance of the building and they steeped inside thereafter. As soon as he stepped inside the building, a small sized auditorium came into Xi Ting's view. This left him extremely surprised. He didn't expect Qin Yan to bring him to this place.

The auditorium was small but built with care. It consisted of all arenas, balconies and boxes, just like a modern theatre. There was no audience in the sitting area and only a few people arranging some things on the stage. Xi Ting realised that Qin Yan had most probably booked the whole place.

As he saw Qin Yan, the organiser walked towards her, "Miss Qin," he greeted her calmly.

Qin Yan nodded at the organiser and asked him, "Manager Lu, is everything ready?"

The manager looked at Qin Yan and then at Xi Ting. When Qin Yan came to him with such request, he was quite puzzled. He had never heard something like this.

Now that he saw Xi Ting and his overbearing aura, he realised that these people were truly out of his understanding. Without asking any more questions, he said, "Yes, everything is ready."

"Okay, let's begin then!" Qin Yan took a deep breath and sat in the front row seats of the auditorium along with Xi Ting.

Xi Ting was also puzzled by what was happening but seeing Qin Yan's nervous state, he did not say anything else. He just sat down calmly and waited to see what Qin Yan wanted him to show.

The stage lights went off and the drapes on the stage opened up. The host gave a small introduction and then the scene on the stage changed.

This was a play that was performed by the artists of the theatre group. As soon as the drapes opened up, a young girl was seen operating on a patient who was a very important person. Just as the operation was going on, she heard a commotion outside the operation theatre. Somebody was trying to break in.

The girl got angry and her hands started moving faster. She hurriedly sewed up the patient and finally concluded the surgery before storming out of the door.

As she opened the operation theatre, a man stood before her with an extremely dark face. The young doctor was stunned. She had never seen such a handsome man in her whole life.

When she was in a daze, the man opened his mouth, "Who are you? What did you do to my comrade?"

As the man's deep voice entered her ears, the girl came back to her senses and realised that her anger was directed towards the man himself. She fumed in front of him, "Are you out of your mind? How dare you disturb us while performing a surgery? Don't you want your comrade back? Are you really his friend? Because nobody would interrupt a surgery like you did!"

The man looked at the young female doctor nagging him endlessly and scolding him. He signalled his bodyguard to grab hold of her and shut her mouth. As the bodyguard proceeded towards the doctor, before he could touch her, she knocked him on the ground.

The man was surprised seeing the young girl have some moves. She looked up at the man again and a smile hovered over her lips, "You don't have to target me. The person you want has already been dealt with. Your comrade is safe."

The man looked at the young doctor in front of him. She was gorgeous and bold. She had the valour and bravery in her personality. She was not someone weak who needed protection from others and most importantly she was not an ordinary woman.

Although she had scolded him for being noisy and interrupting her surgery, she knew the reason he was doing everything for. The other party who harmed his comrade was not someone to be trifled with, but the woman had already dealt with him. This showed her sharpness and her intelligence.

She had the moves and skills to protect herself. She looked like a delicate weak woman by looks, but a tigress was hidden inside her personality. She would not do anything till you provoked her, but once you do, she would not think twice before attacking you.

The man's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This was the first time when Mo Ran met Xi Ting.
