Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Huo Chenyuan looked out the window and said, "I am no longer the same person I used to be."

Ning Tingnan sat quietly on the bed by the window. The afternoon sun slanted in, making her outline look particularly delicate.

She was wearing a light pink pajamas, her hair scattered on her shoulders. Her face was slightly flushed, obviously a little tired due to the cold, but there was still a stubborn light in her eyes.

Huo Chenyuan stood at the door, looking at Ning Tingnan, a complex mix of emotions welling up in his heart. Once upon a time, they were the only ones in each other's world, but now everything had changed.

Ning Tingnan's voice was a little hoarse, and he spoke softly: "Chen Yuan, I still have a fever. Don't leave tonight. Stay with me, okay?"

Huo Chenyuan stared at the crystal teardrop sliding down Yiyi's face, as if it carried too much unspeakable weight.

Huo Chenyuan was silent for a moment, his brow furrowed. He could sense Yingying's helplessness and yearning, but his sense of responsibility forced him to reconsider. Finally, he nodded slowly and solemnly, "I will stay. But only for today. I will stay here with you until you are safe and sound."

Ning Tingnan paused and continued, "Do you still remember? At that time, every time I was sick with a cold, you would always give me a bouquet of roses. Now, I just want to relive it, even if it's just once..." Her words were full of nostalgia and reluctance for the past.

Ning Tingnan's eyes were like a deep lake, surging with waves at this moment, full of expectation and desire.

She stared at Huo Chenyuan, her tone revealing a sense of vulnerability. "Chenyuan, just a bouquet of roses? In the past, you were always so generous and fulfilled my every wish. Now, I just want that touch of red. It means so much to me."

Her voice was gentle, as if it traveled through time and space, awakening those beautiful memories.

The laughter and sweetness of the past once again come to mind at this moment, forming a sharp contrast with the reality before us, which makes people feel pity.

Ripples appeared in Huo Chenyuan's heart. What appeared before his eyes was not only the desire in Ning Tingnan's eyes, but also every little detail of their past years.

Ning Tingnan's voice was low and earnest. She continued, "Besides, no one else knows about this except you and me. I only have this small wish. If you can make it happen for me, this beauty will only belong to the two of us. I promise not to let your wife know." Her words showed cherishment for the beautiful moment, but also a hint of sadness that she didn't want to touch.

He understood that the meaning behind each bouquet of roses went far beyond the flowers themselves. It represented a promise from the past and an emotion that could not be separated.

At this moment, Huo Chenyuan's eyes instantly became firm. "Regarding the rose, I must refuse. Tingnan, I understand how you feel, but we both know that those days are gone. I am someone else's husband now. You are no longer, and cannot be, my girlfriend. I can no longer cross this line as casually as before."

Ning Tingnan's eyes showed a hint of sadness.

Huo Chenyuan gazed into Ning Tingnan's eyes. "Roses represent deep affection and unwavering love, a promise I have made to my wife. I already have my own family and my own wife, and I cannot act in a way that could cause misunderstanding. The main reason I'm staying here to take care of you is because you're ill." As he finished speaking, an indescribable heaviness filled the air. Every word was a clear recognition of reality and a farewell to the past.

When Ning Tingnan heard this, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and her heart was filled with loss and sadness.

"But I really want a bouquet of flowers." Ning Tingnan pleaded again.

Huo Chenyuan's tone was calm but resolute. "If you really want flowers to brighten your mood today, I'm willing to choose other flowers for you. For example, carnations, which symbolize good health and longevity, or roses, which symbolize tenacity and beauty. They can also bring joy. What do you think? Which one do you want?"

Ning Tingnan shook his head in disappointment, "Forget it then."

Ning Tingnan gradually realized that no matter how hard she tried, no matter how much she missed him, Huo Chenyuan and she might never be able to go back.

A few hours later, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the windowsill. Huo Chenyuan finished reading the conference materials and papers at hand and planned to go and check on Ning Tingnan's condition.

When he stepped into the room, Ning Tingnan was suffering from a high fever again, which made him feel heavy.

"Tingnan, wake up and take some more fever-reducing medicine." Huo Chenyuan's voice was filled with concern and anxiety. He quickly took out the fever-reducing medicine and handed a cup of warm water to her mouth. Then, he stood quietly by her side, observing her reaction. Only when he was sure that the medicine was taking effect and the fever had subsided did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Half an hour later, Ning Tingnan's body temperature gradually returned to normal. She fell into a deep sleep and her breathing became smoother.

Throughout the night, Huo Chenyuan came to see Ning Tingnan several times and found that his fever had basically subsided.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrates the window, illuminating the warm scene in the kitchen.

Ning Tingnan woke up and felt unprecedented relaxation. His head no longer hurt and his whole body was full of energy.

She put on her clothes and walked out of the room. The tempting aroma of food led her to the kitchen, where she saw Huo Chenyuan busy in the kitchen, concentrating on preparing breakfast.

Huo Chenyuan noticed the movement behind him, turned around and looked at the door. Seeing Ning Tingnan, who looked energetic and smiling, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"You look much better. That's great news." There was obvious relief in his tone.

Ning Tingnan took the initiative to suggest: "Since I'm fine now, I want to attend today's medical seminar with you." Her eyes lit up with anticipation.

Huo Chenyuan nodded and agreed happily. "Okay, let's go together."

When the medical seminar began, the lights focused on the center of the podium, and Huo Chenyuan walked into everyone's sight wearing a custom-made dark blue suit.

The well-tailored suit outlines his tall and straight figure, and the slightly open white shirt collar at the cuffs adds a touch of professionalism and composure.

The silver tie clip cleverly locks the visual focus and adds a touch of exquisite details.

When it was Huo Chenyuan's turn to speak, his voice was clear and powerful, and every word was imbued with profound professional knowledge. He discussed the latest scientific research results, which drew rounds of applause.

Ning Tingnan, who was sitting in the corner, had admiration in his eyes.

Ning Tingnan was reminded of a classic old saying: "When you are young, you should not meet someone too amazing. Otherwise, everyone who comes after you will be eclipsed."

Over the years, Ning Tingnan discovered that no matter how outstanding the people around her were, they could not easily catch her eye, because deep in her heart, there was always a benchmark that could not be surpassed - the tall and knowledgeable Huo Chenyuan.
