So You’re Such A Doctor Song

Chapter 340: No One Would’ve Thought That They Would Part On Bad Terms On The Last Night Of The Trip Back To Northern City

“You make sense.” Xiling made an even more shocking comment after a moment’s silence.

Duoyao turned her face over silently and pretended to silently admire the scenery, ignoring the two of them.

The three of them took their time to travel for a few days on the road. When they were about to reach Nagchu, Duoyao suggested a trip to the Potala Palace when her manager, Ge Shuang, suddenly called to disrupt their schedule. “Duoyao, the company has already bought tickets for a flight back on the day after tomorrow from Lhasa to Northern City and has also leaked your schedule, so you must come back on that day. We’ve already publicized your teaching trip in Tibet over these past few months and have gotten quite a positive response from the public.”

“So fast…” Duoyao was half upset and half happy. “I’m still in Nagchu. I intend to tour around Potala Palace.”

“Tour your head. Haven’t you played enough after being outside for three months?” Ge Shuang said angrily, “Don’t put on makeup—appear in front of the media looking the way you do right now.”

“Oh.” After Duoyao hung up, she peeked at Yan Molun who was driving in front. She was unsure if he overheard her conversation. “Erm… I…”

“Is your company rushing you to go back?” Yan Molun asked.

“Mm. I’m flying back the day after tomorrow.” Duoyao studied his expression. “There will be media present at the airport then. I’m afraid it won’t be very appropriate for you to go with us…”

“I understand; I’ll take another flight back. We’ll meet in Northern City.” Yan Molun wasn’t angry.

Duoyao heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, after she returned, the two of them couldn’t be as free as they were at the school and might have to be very careful everywhere they went. If this was in the past, she might just leave the industry and be like Ruan Yang. However, this trip to the mountain village had taught her even more.

——————-

The next night, the three of them stayed at a nearby inn. Evenings in Tibet were full of mystery. Duoyao walked to the balcony and saw Yan Molun leaning on his balcony. The moon cast a shadow on his bronze skin. When he heard her footsteps, he turned over and met her gaze. “I’ve been waiting for you for very long.”

“Why didn’t you tell me you were waiting for me?” Duoyao also sat by the balcony. The two balconies were less than a meter apart. They were so close that he could smell the scent of shampoo from her hair after her shower.

“I wanted to see if I could catch you.” Yan Molun watched her silently and his gaze was intense.

Although he had been looking at her like this the entire month, Duoyao still blushed. ‘We’re going back tomorrow. Xiling and I discussed it and we came to the conclusion that it’s not very appropriate for me to tell my managing company right now that I’m in a relationship.”

“You mean we’ll have to do it secretly.” Yan Molun’s lips curled up. “It’s alright; I kind of like doing things secretly.”

Duoyao: “….”

Is it me or does it sound very obscene when he says it like that?

“Actually, you don’t have to work so hard,” Yan Molun said suddenly.” Do you remember? Back in Northern City, I said that as long as you became my woman, I could help you deal with the Zhu Fenglei incident.”

Duoyao was stunned. She did remember that incident. When he said it at first, she thought he was very shameless and it was a joke. However, she didn’t think that three months later, she would really be with him.

She bit her lips. “Actually, my manager said the public opinion of me has improved…”

“Duoyao, it’s not right when a woman becomes too strong. Do you know that?” Yan Molun interrupted her. His tone was calm. “Especially since you’re not a strong, independent woman. Do you think I’m helping you because I really want something from you or do you not want to owe me anything or is it that you’re afraid that the more things I do for you, the more we’ll be entangled together? I don’t know if it’s because you always think too much or whether it’s because you’re only thinking about the present and didn’t even think about anything a little further down the road when you decided to be with me.”

He looked over and Duoyao felt a suffocating feeling inside. He had always let her have her way. This was the first time he said something like that and it felt just like a hammer.

Was she such a woman? She had to admit that sometimes, she was afraid she would owe him too much and It wasn’t because she didn’t think a little further down the road but rather because she was afraid to do so.

“If you really want to be with a person, you can’t always treat him as an outsider. Of course, I can understand that you’re new to being in a relationship after all, but we’ve also been dating for two months. You can’t always face everything with the attitude of a newbie.” Yan Molun sighed softly and stood up slowly. “Goodnight.”

“… Goodnight.” Duoyao moved her lips rigidly.

No one would’ve thought that they would part on bad terms on the last night of their trip back to Northern City.

…

That night, when she was lying in bed, she kept tossing and turning, her mind filled with what Yan Molun said. After a while, her head peeked out from under the covers. “Xiling, do you think it’s very boring to be in a relationship with me?”

“No.” Xiling snorted sleepily. “You’re fun as a friend but you seem to give the impression that you lack something as a lover.”

“What do you mean?” Duoyao stiffened.

“A feeling,” Xiling said. “I’ve been with the two of you every day for the past few days. I feel that you’re a little too reserved. Is it because I’m around? Anyway, I always see Yan Molun taking the initiative to hold your hand and when he hugs you, you also squirm about. Other women in love wouldn’t be like this.”

“That’s because you’re around.” Duoyao pouted. How embarrassing.

“It’s really nothing. It’s not like kissing in front of other people and it hasn’t only been a day or two since the two of you got together.” Xiling was bewildered. “I feel you have two personalities. Actually, you’ve inwardly passionate but cold on the outside. Why is there a need to be so restricted? Just unleash your nature.”

The corners of Duoyao’s lips trembled.

Nature…

She wanted to unleash it but she was a little afraid to do so.

Indeed, she was worse than Changqing.

…

The next morning, Yan Molun drove them to the airport. Because of Xiling’s presence, Duoyao didn’t dare to talk to him on the trip to the airport. They arrived quietly at the airport and Yan Molun helped them take their luggage out. “I won’t go in to see you girls off then.”

“Alright.” Duoyao licked her dry lips. “What time is your flight back to Northern City?”

“I haven’t booked it yet; I’ll see how things go.” Yan Molun looked at his watch. “It’s time to check-in.”

“Then we’ll be leaving first. It’s been hard on you during this period.” Xiling waved her hand and walked into the building while dragging their luggage with Duoyao.

Duoyao turned her head back and happened to see the car door closing. Following that was the sound of the car engine starting.

She felt slightly frustrated. Why did it feel that the distance between them became further after they left the school? Besides, she didn’t even know when he would be back.

At the airport, there were indeed reporters who received first-hand news who had arrived to interview her. She lowered her head and didn’t say anything.

…

When the plane arrived in Northern City, there were reporters waiting there too.

The company arranged for a car to pick her up and when the door to the minivan closed, the person sitting in front suddenly gave her a bouquet of flowers. “Duoyao, I’ve waited for you for a very long time.”

The bouquet of flowers shifted away slightly to reveal a handsome face. The man had a stylish hairstyle and his dark pupils gleamed with passion.

Duoyao was stunned and Xiling got a shock. “Young Master Kang, what are you doing here?”

“Of course I had to be here,” Kang Anhe said gently, “Duoyao has suffered so much on the outside and I couldn’t go over, but now that she’s back, I have to welcome her and pick her up. Look at the both of you—you’ve lost so much weight, especially Duoyao. You used to have supple skin. Look at how haggard you are right now.”

If this was in the past, Xiling would feel secretly touched. However, after witnessing what Yan Molun did in Tibet, she couldn’t help but ask inside: Why couldn’t he come over? However, he was the crown prince. She would never dare to make him look bad unless she didn’t have intentions of continuing to work in this industry.

Hence, she accepted the flowers on Duoyao’s behalf with a smile. “Then it’s been really hard on you, Young Master Kang. Duoyao is very tired. Could we please trouble you to take us home first?”

“Of course.” Kang Anhe took a few looks at Jiang Duoyao again before sitting back in the driver’s seat. “Duoyao, don’t worry. I’ve already told my dad. He will do his best to help you get back on your feet again.”

“Then we really must thank CEO Kang.” Duoyao scratched her neck mindlessly. In the past, she thought Kang Anhe was pretty good-looking. After her trip to Tibet, her perception of beauty seemed to have changed. Why did Kang Anhe look more and more like a sissy?

On the way, Kang Anhe kept asking them about the situation in Tibet. Duoyao occasionally replied with a line or two and she would hear Kang Anhe click his tongue and say: “I didn’t think it would be so tough there. I’ll let Sister Shuang have a piece of my mind when I get back.”

“Sister Shuang didn’t do anything; it was all for my own good.” Duoyao tried to suppress the annoyance between her brows. “Can you drive faster? I can’t wait to go back to take a bath right now. I haven’t bathed in seven to eight days already.”

Kang Anhe was stunned. “Seven to eight days? But didn’t you leave the school a few days ago?”

“We did leave but we didn’t have time to bathe. Besides, there’s a shortage of water over there. My longest record for not washing my hair was 10 days.” Duoyao wanted to scare him on purpose. Actually, she just showered yesterday but she just didn’t want to hear him chattering.

Kang Anhe took in a deep breath of air in disbelief and subconsciously stepped harder on the gas.

After an hour, they arrived at the door of the villa. Duoyao dashed off the car first. Kang Anhe opened the trunk and seeing how she was in such a rush to move her luggage out, he thought secretly to himself that she must really be in a rush to take a shower. “Let me bring it in for you…”

“No need, no need.” Duoyao unleashed her powerlifter nature and carried her luggage back to the villa.
