Jun Linyuan was so furious that he gritted his teeth. Although he had successfully secured his position, something felt inexplicably wrong. The most glaring issue was that Huo Zhanting and the others had somehow intuitively learned to play the victim, monopolizing Yulan’s time. A woman who was supposed to spend most of her time at the hospital comforting him now barely managed a single visit a day.
Looking at the empty hospital room, Jun Linyuan felt, for the first time, a sense of cold, desolate isolation at the top. He had gained status, but he had lost Yulan’s company.
"Damn it!" Jun Linyuan cursed. If he had known this, he would have been better off remaining Yulan’s little lover. He could have used guilt to get kisses and cuddles every single day. He couldn't stand the thought of recovering in this miserable hospital anymore. Jun Linyuan bolted upright from his bed, packed his things, and prepared to head to the Scientific Research Institute to find Yulan. If Yulan wouldn't come to him, he would go to her.
