C48 Where Is the Godly Doctor?

Lu Jinhan closed in on her step by step, cornering her against the wall.

With one hand braced against the surface, his tall silhouette loomed over her. The orange light cascaded from above, casting shadows alongside his nose, bringing his devilish features inches from Su Rann's face.

His austere visage, lips tightly sealed, exerted an overwhelming presence before Su Rann.

Yet, Su Rann didn't let her guard down. She bravely met his gaze, her eyes betraying no turmoil.

Given her current situation, she had no reason to entangle herself with Lu Jinhan any more than necessary.

All she needed was to retrieve the key from him, and then she would make her exit.

"Su Rann, remember this—even if I don't like you, you're still my woman! Your heart and body can only belong to me! As for anyone else, you'd better abandon any such thoughts early on!" Lu Jinhan's commanding voice echoed in her ear.

The thought of Jiang Zhehan and Lo Boyuan, both gentle and refined, being close to her made Lu Jinhan's heart feel like it was about to burst, his possessiveness wreaking havoc.

He gazed at her unflinching, porcelain cheeks, met with neither fear nor reaction. A surge of unnamed emotion roiled within him.

He had never felt so out of control.

Lu Jinhan bent down and captured her lips in a fierce, wild kiss, releasing his pent-up frustration.

Su Rann's mind went blank, caught off guard by Lu Jinhan's unexpected move.

Before she could react, her hand was already firmly in his grasp.

In that moment, Su Rann felt like prey on the cutting board, an experience utterly foreign to her, akin to a caged animal.

It was only when Lu Jinhan sensed her struggle to breathe that he finally let her go.

"Such poor kissing skills?" Lu Jinhan teased with a sardonic smile.

Su Rann's legs coiled in preparation to strike at Lu Jinhan, who instinctively caught her kick.

Fury smoldered in Su Rann's eyes. She had been toyed with by this man, who seemed to have an uncanny ability to read her thoughts as if he were a worm in her belly.

Lu Jinhan was certainly not as straightforward as he appeared.

Every time she got close to this man, she found herself unable to tap into her full potential!

Lu Jinhan watched her fuming, and it was as if the clouds in his heart cleared.

"Looking for trouble?"

Somehow, her indignation seemed rather adorable!

"Little lady, you shouldn't resort to fighting and violence so quickly. There's a banquet on Saturday; come with me!" With a smile playing at his lips, Jinhan turned and strode away.

Glancing back, Jinhan saw Su Rann, who appeared to be in a fairly good mood.

Su Rann had brought some nourishing gifts to the hospital to visit Liu Jiatong.

By now, both Liu Jiatong and Tang Tang were on the mend.

"Rann, I heard you single-handedly managed both the zither performance and the painting. Is that true?" Liu Jiatong asked eagerly as soon as she saw Su Rann.

She hadn't realized Su Rann was so multi-talented. She'd been utterly blind to think Su Rann lacked any artistic skill, especially since Su Rann's profile listed no special talents!

"I picked up a little here and there," Su Rann replied nonchalantly.

"Just picked it up?" Liu Jiatong was incredulous. "Rann, have you ever heard of Flower Shadow? Besides her, I don't know of anyone who can play the zither and paint simultaneously!

I'm kicking myself for missing it. It must have been a sight to behold!"

Liu Jiatong was filled with regret.

The company had said it was an absolute visual and auditory delight, and she had missed out!

"Speaking of Flower Shadow, I saw her performance on TV recently. It was truly breathtaking!"

Liu Jiatong's eyes sparkled at the mention of Flower Shadow.

"It's just that she hasn't appeared live recently. I'm dying to experience it in person!"

Su Rann took out her phone, scrolled through a hidden menu, and her slender fingers danced across the keyboard.

She was planning an upcoming live event.

"By the way, Rann, I heard that Chi Xin was the one behind Tang Tang's and my food poisoning! Why would she do such a thing?"

Liu Jiatong gritted her teeth, still fuming over the ordeal she'd endured these past few days.

"Was she trying to make you look foolish at the banquet? That woman's heart is just too vicious!"

"It's all in the past now. Focus on getting better," Su Rann said, her gaze remaining cool and detached.

"Take this medicine; it's good for your recovery!" Su Rann said as she handed over the concoction she had personally prepared. Watching Liu Jiatong and Tang Tang wince in discomfort, a wave of unease washed over her. They had been caught up in the mess simply because they were on her team.

"Rann, we can't let Chi Xin off the hook this time. Without your brilliant performance, she would have definitely dragged you down with her, and the company would have held you accountable!" Liu Jiatong couldn't believe that Chi Xin would risk the entire company over a personal vendetta.

The banquet was filled with Lan City's renowned entrepreneurs and socialites, yet Chi Xin had gambled the company's reputation without a second thought. She should have been dismissed when she falsely accused Su Rann last time. Now, just the mention of Chi Xin stirred up their anger.

Su Rann remained silent on the matter. What was done was done; resolving the issue was all that mattered now.

The Saturday banquet arrived as planned. Su Rann, no stranger to such events, was elegantly dressed in a simple off-the-shoulder gown as she entered with Lu Jinhan. Their arrival swiftly captured the attention of everyone present.

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Han, looks like you've been hiding a gem," Ann Hao remarked, his eyes lingering on Su Rann a moment too long before he felt the piercing glare from behind him and quickly averted his gaze. He was genuinely scared that Mr. Han might dismantle the hospital and feed him to the sharks.

"Rann!" Xiaxuan exclaimed, spotting Su Rann immediately. She guided Lo Boyuan toward her. Lo Boyuan usually avoided such gatherings, but he had made an exception after hearing that Su Rann would be there.

"Young Master Lo!" Ann Hao was visibly startled to see Lo Boyuan looking healthier than ever. The rumors of his recovery, it seemed, were true, which he found astonishing.

Lo Boyuan, usually stern-faced, couldn't help but smile more broadly upon seeing Su Rann. "Young Master Lo, could you reveal who the remarkable healer is? I'm eager to learn from him!" Ann Hao had been inquiring about the mysterious doctor for some time but to no avail.

Xiaxuan's lips curled into a gentle smile. "It's both far away and right before our eyes!"

With that, she strode over to Su Rann, her face alight with excitement.
