Chapter 292 - Flaming Whiskey

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yuan Tian was a kind-hearted doctor. She seemed blunt on the surface but this was probably the first time a sensitive girl like her experienced such a blow.

“Ye Min, perhaps this patient would’ve lived for a few more months if we hadn’t taken him in...”

Yuan Tian’s voice was faint while her tears rolled down uncontrollably.

This was the first time someone died on Yuan Tian’s operating table. She doubted herself for a moment and wondered if she was a doctor, or perhaps a mere executioner who brandished a scalpel...

Ye Min’s heart also hurt when she saw Yuan Tian’s sorrowful expression. She took some tissues and gently wiped Yuan Tian’s face.

“Doctor Yuan, don’t say that. There are many people whom you’ve saved who continue to think of you as an angel. This accident isn’t your fault!”

The traces of blood had already dried up on the surgical gloves still on Yuan Tian’s hands.

The crimson blood that stained Yuan Tian’s surgical gown made her a ghastly sight, but the thought to removed them escaped her. She had not thought to remove them.

Security had tightened outside, along with the military which was also in full force. The rioters were hastily removed from the hospital, and Yuan Tangshuo sent her representatives to meet the family.

When he returned, the man questioned the people around him, before he rushed to the lounge in the operating theater after hearing that Yuan Tian was still there.

“Tian Tian?”

Yuan Tangshuo tried to push the door open, but it was locked from the inside. Ye Min quickly opened the door when she realized that it was Director Yuan.

Yuan Tangshuo was over fifty years old, but he had spent most of the year at the hospital despite the demanding pressure of his work. He was already balding, but the Yuan Family’s genes made his attractiveness apparent throughout his appearance.

“Father...”

Yuan Tian pursed her lips. When she saw Yuan Tangshuo entering, she threw herself on him and cried uncontrollably.

“Father, aren’t I... the most useless...”

Growing up, Yuan Tian was always filled with wild ambition. She stirred up various kinds of unusual trouble that frequently roused her mother’s anger.

She rarely gained the Old Mistress’s favor because of the mishaps that she had caused constantly. To her family, she was the unique one.

Despite everything, Yuan Tian had never shed a tear, much less doubted herself. Today’s incident had tested her indeed.

Yuan Tangshuo gingerly caressed his daughter’s head and quietly consoled her. “Never. You’ve always been exceptional to me!”

Yuan Tian sobs worsened when she heard that. “Father, I’ve always disappointed you. Are you just saying these things to comfort me?”

Yuan Tangshuo could not help but laugh. “What do you mean?”

Yuan Tian wiped her tears and sobbed. “I’m not academically qualified, and I have an unorthodox background. I learned everything from you yet an incident like this happened today...”

Yuan Tangshuo was usually very demanding towards Yuan Tian, but unlike her mother Lu Shan, he rarely spoke to her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In terms of education, he valued first-hand experience more for Yuan Tian’s development.

“It was my fault that you didn’t go to university. If you want to study, I can arrange for you to further your education overseas.”

Yuan Tangshuo had never spoken in such a gentle tone before. Yuan Tian rubbed her eyes and sniffled. “Father, I wasn’t complaining, I just felt like I’ve embarrassed you.”

Yuan Tangshuo smiled. “Doctors aren’t gods. Deaths on the operating table aren’t things that doctors like to see either. Professor Zhou said that the success rate of this operation was extremely low to begin with, so I’m very much in awe of your perseverance. They would’ve gone to a different hospital if you hadn’t agreed to this operation.”

For some reason, Yuan Tian’s heart was greatly relieved when she heard her father’s words. She rubbed her nose and said, “The family...”

“I’ll take care of that!” Upon saying that, Yuan Tangshuo turned to Ye Min and said, “Doctor Ye, please take Yuan Tian out for a good time. You can leave early today.”

Ye Min gleefully accepted her task when she heard that. “Thank you, Director Yuan!”

Shen Muqiu’s car was parked at the entrance of the inpatient ward. Ming Yang turned his head and said to him, “Sir, Miss Yuan’s car is moving. .” 1 .

Shen Muqiu bent his body forward as he fixed his gaze on the woman in the passenger’s seat. He whispered, “Follow her!”

Ye Min drove as Yuan Tian was not in the right state to do so. She naturally undertook this responsibility because the director had entrusted her to take Yuan Tian out to have fun and relieve her stress.

The car stopped at Ninth Mile Singing Pub.

Yuan Tian had visited this place with her female friends or coworkers to have fun drinking and dancing. They would always forget their troubles after letting loose here for a while.

“Why are we here?”

Yuan Tian had fallen asleep in the car. When she opened her eyes and saw Ninth Mile Singing Pub, she rubbed them and asked Ye Min.

“You never get to leave work early, so let’s have a drink. Were you planning to go home, bury yourself under the covers and sleep?”

Ye Min pulled Yuan Tian out of the car while she spoke.

“Someone just died and I’m enjoying myself here...”

Yuan Tian was still slightly hesitant. She raised her head and saw that posters advertising a singer were displayed above the door. The Ninth Mile Singing Pub had invited a currently well-known online personality over to increase their popularity. Yuan Tian had been quite interested in this male celebrity for a period of time before this.

“I brought you to a bustling place like this to meet people because you were having such a bad day. But we don’t have to fool around, we can go home after we’ve had a few drinks!”

Ye Min was a few years older than Yuan Tian. She was Yuan Tian’s surgical assistant who frequently came out to have fun because her workload was usually somewhat lighter than Yuan Tian’s.

Yuan Tian’s steps were sluggish, so Ye Min dragged her into the bar.

The bar was rather empty. This was a time when it was less buy; when the evening show was scheduled. However, several people who gathered in groups had already started to down their drinks.

Under the bright lights of the debauched environment were numerous flamboyantly dressed young people with contrasting appearances. Some of them even glanced at Yuan Tian’s direction.

Ye Min and Yuan Tian chose their bar stools before the bartender came over to serve them.

“Two Flaming Whiskeys!”

Ye Min snapped her fingers. Smiling, the server said, “One moment!”

The server hurriedly brought over two glasses of glittering and translucent blue liquid and placed them on the bar counter. He held a lighter in each hand and ignited both glasses of liquid. Five seconds later, he used a red cloth made of special material to cover and extinguish the flames, before turning to Ye Min and Yuan Tian, saying, “Enjoy, ladies!”

Yuan Tian’s alcohol tolerance was alright but she rarely drank hot and exciting drinks like this Flaming Whiskey.

Ye Min took hers and finished it in one gulp. Yuan Tian raised her glass as well before the burning sensation instantly flowed through her esophagus and into her stomach.

“That’s addictive! I’ll have another glass!” Ye Min became livelier when she drank.

Yuan Tian smiled but remained silent, fully aware that she was putting everything on the line to participate in this activity.

Ye Min started to lose control of herself once she had downed her third drink. The air conditioning in the bar was clearly running properly, but the two women felt so warm that they wanted to strip.

They happily drank until they were dripping wet. Meanwhile, several people had already fixed their gazes on Yuan Tian and Ye Min long ago.

“Hey! Look, isn’t that your girl Tian?”

Chen Yu was speaking.

Yan Jiangsheng immediately turned back to look when he heard Chen Yu mentioning Yuan Tian. The petite woman who was leaning against the bar counter had certainly drunk till her eyes were glazed over.

She wore a short t-shirt and a pair of skinny jeans. When the woman raised her arms, her t-shirt bunched up into a crop top that revealed a section of her pale flat midriff, making it impossible for the several men around her not to do a double take.

Yan Jiangsheng could not stop his temper from flaring up when he saw that. He threw the cards out of his hands and said, “You guys can keep playing, I’m going over to take a look!”
