When she heard such news from Lu Yuan, Yue Ran''s mood went down, and great sadness seemed to shroud her figure. She closed her eyes before saying softly, "He is such a poor child... I will give him a proper moment of silence."

    Lu Yuan: …

    Ruan Ruan: …My Master really respects the dead.

    Yue Ran: Hehe.

    With that, Yue Ran turned around and left.

    Now left all alone, Lu Yuan''s eyes turned glazed and unfocused. Even if one were to see him like this at this moment, one would still not be able to decipher what he was thinking as he sat there staring blankly into nothingness in his living room.

    Soon, a shadow cast over the city, and the rain started to fall down the sky from dour, leaden clouds.

    …

    The next day.

    The weather is frighteningly dull. Thick water vapor seemed to be condensing in the air, and the almost pitch-black clouds seemed to be brewing rain, foretelling a heavy downpour. Although it was still early in the morning, the sluggish sky gave the spiritless citizens the illusion that it was already close to evening.

    Yue Ran had specially asked her secretary and receptionist, Liu Zi, that if she did not have much work to do today, then she could go back home early. It was likely to rain heavily anytime soon.

    "Okay," Liu Zi answered with a smile. "Doctor Yue, do you want to cancel your appointment held this afternoon?"

    Liu Zi has been working under Yue Ran for a year or two. She really does admire and sincerely like her gentle, elegant, and kind-hearted boss.

    "Me? I am going to Cheng''s family residence this afternoon," Yue Ran said. "I have promised an appointment today with the patient from yesterday."

    Yue Ran smiled and winked at her. Liu Zi wanted to say something more, but she shook her head and let out a cough since she did not know what to say about her boss'' dedication to her work.

    "I have not eaten much since I have gotten up from bed." Yue Ran easily changed the subject with a gentle smile on her face. "Can you buy me some breakfast?"

    "Doctor Yue," Liu Zi started, but then she thought better of it and could only let out a defeated sigh. "Okay, I will do it."

    Sometimes, it really worries Liu Zi that her boss is disregarding her health and well-being for her work.

    "If it rains heavily, please do not think twice about contacting me to pick you up," Liu Zi said. "There is an umbrella in the office, so please do take it so that you do not have to get caught up in the rain and catch a cold."

    Liu Zi could only say these words since she knew that Yue Ran would not change her mind once she put her thoughts into something.

    "Okay, I will, Xiao Zi." Yue Ran smiled gently.

    Liu Zi knew what Yue Ran''s temperament was like and knew that Yue Ran would definitely do what she had promised, especially the commitment to her patients, so she (Liu Zi) had no choice but to let her (Yue Ran) go, hoping that it would not rain too much today.

    …

    In the afternoon.

    Yue Ran drove to Cheng''s house.

    As soon as she had parked her car and came out into the open, the rumbling rain, followed by a streak of lightning and a roaring thunder, seemed to break out from the sky. It looked as if God had poured a basin of water down from the vault of heaven, and it seemed like the torrent of water was going to submerge the whole world in dark blue.

    Holding an umbrella was almost of no use in this kind of weather. Yue Ran had only walked for a few steps, but most of her trousers were already wet.

    "Doctor Yue, fortunately, you are here." The housekeeper of the Cheng family let out a sigh of relief as he greeted Yue Ran when she stepped into the Cheng family''s residence. "The young master had just lost his temper in his room just now." The expression on his face morphed into one of worry. "The weather today is so bad that we do not know who to look for to accompany the young master. Sir and Madam are all out at work. Fortunately, you had come over today."

    The housekeeper took off the coat on Yue Ran''s body for her and kindly handed it to her respectfully, along with a white, fluffy towel in his hand. His original nervousness eased a lot after seeing Yue Ran arrive, and he could not help but say a few more words to her, showing how relieved he was by her appearance.

    "Ah, look at me, this old fool," the housekeeper suddenly said. "Shall I go and get you a new pair of trousers? My wife bought one recently, and she has not used or even opened its packaging. I hope you do not mind wearing it."

    "That would be great," Yue Ran said as she smiled naturally and generously. "Then I will have to trouble you for this."

    The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yue Ran accept his suggestion. He poured her a cup of warm water and got her new trousers to put on.

    Feeling the dampness of her trousers disappear and her surroundings becoming dry and warm, Yue Ran felt much better and thus carried her bag and proceeded upstairs to her destination.

    Walking to where she wanted to go, Yue Ran spotted her target and saw that the door to Cheng Ying''s room was left open. From the outside, she could vaguely see the messy and disordered things inside.

    The male protagonist did lose his temper, indeed.

    Yue Ran''s footsteps were very soft, but Cheng Ying was someone who was very sensitive to sounds. When he turned his head, he saw Yue Ran walking over to him.

    "Good afternoon," Yue Ran greeted the male protagonist.
