Yan Rouwen did not immediately accept the conditions set by Li Xin. She desperately searched for cases similar to Qian Shaowen's but pessimistically discovered that the success rate of such surgeries was indeed very low. Li Xin's surgery years ago was one of the most successful, and the patient involved was still alive. Yan Rouwen found it challenging to connect the Li Xin she knew with the once-acclaimed rising star in the medical field. People are truly biased creatures, and Yan Rouwen's perception of Li Xin remained frozen in their initial acquaintance.
….
Li Xin nervously watched Yan Rouwen, who had already woken up. The silent Yan Rouwen made her even more uneasy.
"I'm sorry," Li Xin said with a guilty expression, feeling like a total jerk.
Yan Rouwen turned her head with a delayed reaction and looked at Li Xin. She never expected her virginity to be taken by another woman, finding the situation absurd.
"Do you like women?" Clearly, only this question could explain the absurdity of the situation.
Li Xin nodded, especially fond of the woman in front of her. From the moment she woke up in confusion to now, she was completely rational and composed.
"I just like you. I fell for you, and I couldn't control it," Li Xin explained. She had no idea how she followed the devil and did something so ridiculous.
"Many crimes are committed impulsively, but a crime is still a crime!" Yan Rouwen never thought she would be pursued by someone of the same sex, and it was clearly not something to be happy about.
"I'm sorry..." Li Xin lowered her head even further.
“Forget it." Yan Rouwen felt it was her own fault. Although she found Li Xin hateful, she was more frustrated with herself. If she hadn't gone to an unfamiliar place to drink, this wouldn't have happened. At least she could be grateful it wasn't a man in front of her, avoiding potential consequences.
"I can take responsibility for you," Li Xin said earnestly.
"No need." Yan Rouwen got up to dress, wanting no connection with the woman in front of her.
"I really like you," Li Xin looked at Yan Rouwen and said seriously.
"I don't like women," Yan Rouwen said indifferently. She put on her clothes meticulously, not wanting any further entanglement with the woman in front of her.
"What does it matter if it's a man or a woman? I feel you didn't dislike the feeling from yesterday, which means you might accept women. I will continue pursuing you," Li Xin persisted.
"I am married. Please don't cause trouble for me," Yan Rouwen didn't deny what happened last night. Although initially Li Xin forcefully entered her despite her feeble resistance, later she also experienced pleasure. However, thinking about that sensation only made Yan Rouwen find Li Xin more detestable.
"I can be your mistress, won't cause you any trouble," Li Xin, completely driven by love, said.
"Don't you have any sense of morality?" Yan Rouwen questioned. Trying to be the mistress of a married woman goes against both morals and ethics, and this woman seemed oblivious to it.
"Love has nothing to do with morality," Li Xin, who believed she was born for love, stated. She was ready to give up anything for the sake of love.
"I am Li Xin. I will keep pursuing you until you accept me as your lover," Li Xin knew from the moment she saw Yan Rouwen that she would be challenging to win over. However, Li Xin was determined not to give up because she had a premonition that Yan Rouwen would not be just a fleeting presence in her life. Li Xin, a woman who followed her instincts, had remarkably accurate premonitions.
"I will never like you. Give up on this idea," Yan Rouwen felt she would never develop feelings for such a shallow and shameless woman.
….
Li Xin suddenly woke up, her heart giving a slight pang. She dreamt that Yan Rouwen repeatedly said, "I will never like you." She recalled the initial scene and wondered if she had made a mistake from the start. Maybe she had been wrong all along, trying to force Yan Rouwen. However, now, she couldn't turn back. Li Xin didn't want to turn back. Even if it was a mistake, she was determined to continue down this path.
Li Xin woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. Seeing it was already six in the morning, she decided to go for a morning run since it was still early before work. She used to have this habit before becoming Yan Rouwen's mistress. However, she hadn't kept it since then, realizing she had indulged herself excessively during these years as Yan Rouwen's mistress. A position she even had to force herself into.
Arriving at the hospital, a nurse informed her that Madame Qian was looking for her. She went to Qian Shaowen's ward, where Yan Rouwen was already sitting by the bed. Li Xin could imagine that Yan Rouwen had been taking care of him all night. Li Xin felt a mix of sympathy and jealousy.
"Why did you look for me?" Li Xin asked, feigning indifference.
"Do you have surgery today?" Yan Rouwen seemed indifferent to Li Xin's current attitude.
"Yes, a minor surgery at three in the afternoon," Li Xin replied truthfully. Yan Rouwen's usually pale face appeared even paler, perhaps due to staying up all night. At this moment, Li Xin genuinely wished Qian Shaowen would pass away immediately, sparing Yan Rouwen from such hardship.
"Can I observe?" Yan Rouwen didn't completely trust Li Xin's medical skills. She believed seeing was believing and wanted to confirm it personally.

"If it doesn't disgust you, do as you please," Li Xin smirked a hint of mockery in her expression. She knew Yan Rouwen couldn't reconcile the Li Xin she knew with Dr. Li, and her impression of herself had never been good. Li Xin had never truly understood or known herself, her past remains a mystery.
Yan Rouwen and some interns watched the high-definition screen where Li Xin was performing surgery, dissecting the patient's abdomen. Although Yan Rouwen didn't know the specifics of the surgery, the skilled and composed movements, along with a certain confidence, made Li Xin seem like a completely different person. Yan Rouwen had known Li Xin for five years but had never seen her in this light. If she had, Yan Rouwen wouldn't have pigeonholed Li Xin as a superficial vase.
"You're not feeling disgusted are you?" Li Xin asked Yan Rouwen, unable to conceal her concern.
Shaking her head, Yan Rouwen acknowledged the bloody scene was somewhat nauseating but within acceptable limits.
"Not bad. The first time I watched an abdominal surgery, I nearly vomited half to death. Even now, watching it numbly, I find it distasteful," Li Xin said in an unusually relaxed tone. Genius isn't built in a day; it requires training and sweat.
"Don't you like being a doctor?" Otherwise, why give up a promising career to become her mistress? Yan Rouwen couldn't understand love, but she didn't approve of Li Xin's choices.
“Mm, even now, I have to admit that what I'm best at is what I dislike the most," Li Xin expressed surprise that Yan Rouwen would ask such questions, thinking Yan Rouwen had no interest in her.
"Not everyone excels in their field. You shouldn't bury your talent," Yan Rouwen sincerely commented.
"Have you ever cared?" Li Xin, feeling a warmth in her heart, blurted out.
"Well, it’s your choice. It has nothing to do with me," Yan Rouwen said indifferently.
Li Xin's heart immediately became cold again.
