Nothing will ever come between us

🔞💚Chapter 2❤️

Yuna's eyes widened at Xiao Zhan's response, a mixture of surprise and amusement flickering across her face. She couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle at his playful remark, her irritation momentarily forgotten. "Oh, Xiao Zhan, you never fail to bring a touch of humor into any situation," she remarked, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Xiao Zhan's cheeks flushed slightly at Yuna's comment, realizing the innuendo his words could imply. He scratched the back of his head, a sheepish smile gracing his lips. "Ah, no, not like that, Yuna!" he exclaimed, trying to clarify his statement. "I was actually caught up with some administrative work and patient consultations. The day just seemed to slip away from me."

Yuna couldn't resist teasing him further, her playful nature getting the better of her. She leaned back in her seat, crossing her arms, and raised an eyebrow in mock suspicion. "Are you sure, Xiao Zhan? That big mirror over there seems to suggest something else," she said, her voice laced with amusement.

Xiao Zhan's eyes followed Yuna's gaze as he turned to face the mirror. He couldn't help but laugh, realizing that the mirror reflected a rather compromising position in which he had been caught moments before entering his office. His cheeks flushed deeper, a mixture of embarrassment and amusement coloring his expression. "Oh, that! It's just... um, a funny coincidence," he stammered, trying to brush off the suggestive implications.

Yuna laughed heartily, her laughter filling the room and creating a light-hearted atmosphere. "Well, Xiao Zhan, it seems like you have quite the talent for finding yourself in amusing situations," she remarked, her voice filled with playful banter.

As their laughter subsided, Yuna's expression softened, her eyes meeting Xiao Zhan's with genuine warmth. "But in all seriousness, Xiao Zhan, your dedication to your work is commendable. I know you take your responsibilities as a healthcare professional seriously, and your patients are lucky to have you," she said, her tone sincere and appreciative.

Xiao Zhan's smile widened, touched by Yuna's words of encouragement. "Thank you, Yuna. Your support means a lot to me," he replied, his voice filled with gratitude.

In that moment, a sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding settled between them. Yuna knew that Xiao Zhan's occasional lateness was not due to negligence but rather a reflection of his unwavering commitment to his patients. And Xiao Zhan, in turn, appreciated Yuna's patience and unwavering support.

Xiao Zhan's voice faltered as he tried to find the right words to explain the situation to Yuna. His heart ached with the weight of uncertainty, the fear of losing Wang Yibo looming over him. "Yuna, I can explain," he began, his voice filled with a mix of desperation and vulnerability. "Wang Yibo will be gone for a long time, and I don't know if he will come back alive or not. So we... I..." His words trailed off, the gravity of their relationship sinking in.

Yuna listened intently, her gaze softening with understanding as she recognized the depth of Xiao Zhan's emotions. She knew all too well the challenges that came with loving someone in a dangerous profession. Her own husband, the hospital director, often faced risks in his line of work. However, she couldn't help but voice her concern, her tone filled with a mix of protectiveness and practicality.

"Xiao Zhan, I understand the bond you share with Wang Yibo," Yuna responded, her voice laced with empathy. "But don't you think it's a bit reckless to display his mark so openly? In a place where your patients and even the director could see?" Her words carried a note of caution, highlighting the potential consequences that could arise from their indiscretion.

Xiao Zhan's shoulders slumped as he absorbed Yuna's words. He knew deep down that Yuna was right. The risk they were taking by openly displaying their connection was undeniable. The thought of the hospital director, who also happened to be Yuna's husband, discovering their secret sent a shiver down his spine. He understood that Yuna's position made it difficult for her to intervene, even if she wanted to protect them.
