At 4:30, Tian Yuan, who was so upset because of that d.a.m.ned woman, eagerly wanted to get off work soon.
He is usually a low-key person. He does everything he was told to do, works cautiously and conscientiously, and does not partic.i.p.ate in any shady transactions. Things like getting paid for a few cents of commission from selling factory-priced medicine is not something he does. When he became a doctor here, he turned down these kinds of unethical things a hundreds of times over. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics is also something that he does not do. He works overtime, followed by a regular shift plus another overtime. He is usually summoned by the hospital because he is single and unmarried. So on Valentine's Day, Christmas Day, Spring Festival, and other holidays, he is always on duty and even then, he did not complain.
What had he done to be the subject of that d.a.m.ned woman's anger? All the doctors have never tried to provoke him. Really, for what reason? Tian Yuan's nose is not a nose, face is not a face.
{T/N: 鼻子不是鼻子臉不是臉的 nose is not a nose, face is not a face – Chinese idiom which means that the person is very angry, the face is very ugly, and the att.i.tude is very blunt. This is generally used when people are being looked down upon.
“Tian'er, baby, I have come to pick you up.”
The door of his office was suddenly kicked open and for this direct manner of opening the door, Tian Yuan merely rolled his eyes.
Pan Lei stood at the doorway and opened his arms to welcome Tian Yuan in his arms, just like how Ru Yan threw himself over to Lin.
Tian Yuan looked sullen and did not make a sound. He just continued to tidy up his things.
Pan Lei's eyes were sharp, and he naturally saw that the mood of his family's wife is not good. He closed the door and walked over. Then, he hugged his baby's shoulders.
“What's wrong? Are you not happy to see me? Tell me, want me to say something that will make you happy? By the way, the car which eldest brother gave is really good! It is wide and has a silver-white color. I tested it and the performance is very good! If you don't like it, I'll tell eldest brother to change it again.”
Still, Tian Yuan remained sullen. Pan Lei frowned.
When they left home today, he even shouted that he wanted to eat chicken soup. Why did his mood turn bad in the afternoon? Someone in the hospital must have made him angry. His Niang Xipi, dare to bully this laozi's people! I will raise the roof of this hospital, believe it or not?
{T/N: 娘希匹Niang Xipi – It was originally a village soil slang that became a “country” curse, which is similar to “f*ck your mother” in English. In fact, these three words seem to be non-speaking words and should be an interjection. Also, Niang Xipi is a broad term and this is just one of the meanings that was used in this context.

“Baby, you smile now, okay? Tell me why you're not happy.”
Tian Yuan was a little stuffy. He changed his clothes and went out with him. They walked slowly on the corridor.
“Someone is running against me. The president has lost his mind today and he wanted to promote me as a deputy director. However, the director's lover was already selected for that position without announcing the decision until later.”
Pan Lei nodded and understood that these people and the people in this society are full of interests, human sentiments and schemes. Tian Yuan's temperament is simple. He is some kind of an ancient scholar who is pedantic and rigid. This puts Tian Yuan on a very disadvantaged position in this society that's full of mutual deception.
But, it doesn't matter. Isn't he here? With him, he will create a comfortable and stable living environment for Tian Yuan, just like a crystal palace, to protect his baby.
“Is that person your director's lover?”
Tian Yuan looked up and followed Pan Lei's line of sight. It was indeed that woman who had come up to him and gave him a condescending look.
Tian Yuan nodded and pulled Pan Lei's sleeve. “Let's go.”
Pan Lei nodded. ‘d.a.m.ned 38! Bullying my family's wife, just you wait.'
{T/N: 三八38 (slang) Taiwanese – refers to frivolous women who are also rude, crazy, not solemn, and has tendency to swear everywhere. It is an adjective that means nosy (derogatory, of a woman), gossipy, impetuous, rash, or foolish. This is the meaning as used in this context. 三八 also means March 8 which is International Women's Day.}
“I will help you get rid of your foul mood.”
Tian Yuan stopped him. He is a grown man, and he is just merely annoyed by a mere woman. If this gets known by all, he will be laughed at.
Pan Lei pinched Tian Yuan's hand. Of course he knows not to take care of such thing because a man should not beat a woman. But the problem is, this woman bullied his family's wife.
As Dr. Li approaches, Pan Lei pulled Tian Yuan to his left while he talked and laughed with him. When the woman pa.s.sed by, he extended a finger and poked the female doctor's waist. The finger can also be amazing. Although it can't catch up with Shaolin Temple's One-Finger-Zen, it will still hurt people to fall on the ground.
Sure enough, after they walked past her, Dr. Li was treading on her six-inch-high-heeled shoes when her waist felt a fierce pain. The beautiful doctor who wriggled in pain walked in a crooked angle and soon after, the high-heeled shoes made a tragic sound. Bang. The beautiful Dr. Li fell flat on her face.
But this is not the most important thing. Dr. Li sprained her ankle and screamed miserably.
Walking in such a manner wearing those high-heeled shoes will certainly cause one to slip and fall. She must have wrenched her neck with this fall.
Pan Lei hurriedly dragged Tian Yuan away. They couldn't quarrel with this shrew. Neither of them is that woman's opponent.
That sentence was said because a man thinks that a woman is a lame person because she is missing a third leg. While, a woman thinks that a man is stuttering because he is missing a mouth. A woman has a mouth. How are they going to quarrel with a woman?
If they do not leave at this time, then when's the best time? As such, they hurriedly rushed off leaving the ruckus they created behind.
Slipping into the elevator, Tian Yuan ran out of breath. He has not seen anyone who was more childish than him. He forced a smile, as he cannot beat up Pan Lei this time. Pan Lei was grinning and moved closer as he put his face in front of Tian Yuan. Pan Lei held the other man's face and couldn't help but brush his finger over the corner of his mouth.
“Smiling now, huh… good. Did you see her falling down and was almost completely exposed? Didn't you see a few male patients bowing down to peep under her skirt?”
Tian Yuan laughed. He really couldn't do anything about it.
The elevator door slammed open, and the director with a bald head and a beer belly walked in. In addition, a beautiful woman wearing a skirt that's merely enough to cover a fart also entered.
Tian Yuan is not trying to create trouble with Pan Lei. They are well-behaved enough according to rules. It's just that the bald director snorted followed by some grumblings.
“It's not yet time to get off work, how come you're gone? You didn't even ask permission. So unorganized and undisciplined, and I really don't know why the president wants to promote you.”
Tian Yuan did not speak. G.o.d knows what kind of wind whipped the president to resist the opposition and recommend him. This is really good, ah! He had given him an enemy. Did he do something at work, or did he do anything to him for this to happen?
Pan Lei narrowed his eyes. He pulled Tian Yuan at once and chatted with him face to face.
“Tian'er, the car is really pretty. You will definitely like it. I will teach you how to drive within three days.”
“I still need to find a broken car to practice on. I am really afraid of b.u.mping the car. If it happens, I'll be distressed.”
“It's alright. If the car b.u.mped against something and got damaged, we'll just ask for a new one. Eldest brother is rich. If we do not squeeze him out, who will?”
Tilting his head, the director took a glimpse at them, harrumphed and then looked straight ahead.
Having given the chance, Pan Lei stealthily started his movements.
Aimed towards the mini skirt of the beautiful woman, he intensely pinched her b.u.t.t, then quickly retracted his hand as he continued to chat with Tian Yuan.
The beautiful woman screamed and immediately turned back to look at the three men behind her in disgust. The two men are chatting with each other, and another man with a bald head and a beer belly is staring at her.
Pa! The beautiful woman snapped and threw out a big slap.
The elevator door opened.
As it opened, the five red fingerprints on the director's face was revealed.
