"Why… are you here?" Huo Mian's memory was really good, especially with those she had just met. She might not be interested in Jiang Ye, but she immediately recognized his face.

He was the one who kept hitting on her at Seductive Fox last night.

"Why can't I be here? Are you surprised?" The man smiled.

"I am."

"I'm surprised as well. I didn't expect you to be GK's Young Madam, nor did I expect you to be a neurologist at your age, a chief physician at that. You're good."

Huo Mian wasn't happy to be praised by Jiang Ye. She replied calmly, "You probably didn't book a consultation with me just to chat, right? What are your symptoms?"

"Ha… as expected, your mouth is so unforgiving. Yup, I'm here to receive treatment. Thanks in advance, Dr. Huo." Jiang Ye smiled again as he finished his sentence.

Huo Mian picked up the chart he filled out – eremophobia.

Then, she glanced at the other information and looked up at him. "Did you diagnose yourself with eremophobia, or did another doctor do that?"

"I diagnosed myself."

"Ha… why do you think you have this disease? Do you even know what it is?"

"I do, it's a really weird and rare mental disease."

"You're right. Here are the common symptoms of those with eremophobia: they don't like to be alone and always hang out with a bunch of people. To them, the busier, the better. When they're alone, they're scared of sounds, and they would constantly have bad dreams. During this process, some patients even suffer auditory and visual hallucinations… Eremophobia and depression are two of the toughest mental diseases to treat."

Then, Huo Mian paused for a second before asking, "So, do you really have this disease, or are you here to poke fun with me and test out my medical skills?"

"Haha, smart girl, you saw right through me."

Jiang Ye was impressed. She was right; he didn't actually have eremophobia, he just made it up, and all he wanted was to see Huo Mian at her workplace.

He wanted to see how she was like at work and was pleasantly surprised by how different she was.

He thought Huo Mian would be the girl next door she was last night, but she was the exact opposite – serious, inflexible, and a little apathetic.

She treated patients indifferently, and sometimes even interrogated them as if they were criminals.

However, it was not her fault. If she didn't pressure patients to tell the truth, more often than not, patients would choose to lie through their teeth and hide their illnesses, which would ultimately affect Huo Mian's diagnosis and treatment plan.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang. If you're just here for fun, then I don't have time for you. Please turn left when you leave, take the elevators down, go home, wash up, and go to sleep. Can you give someone who's actually sick a chance to see the doctor?"

Jiang Ye was flabbergasted by Huo Mian's remarks. "Girl, do you always talk like that?"

"I don't need to be polite towards patients who don't respect doctors. Oh, wait, you're not even a patient, you're just faking… I hate people like you, do you not have anything better to do than take up someone else's consultation time?"

Huo Mian looked down and threw Jiang Ye's medical record off to the side. It was obvious that she didn't want to say another word to him.

"Hey, are you really mad? Haha, I didn't come with bad intentions, I just wanted to play a prank on you," Jiang Ye immediately explained to Huo Mian upon realizing that she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

'I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I don't think we're close enough for you to play pranks on me… Please be mindful of your identity," Huo Mian looked up in all seriousness and said, enunciating each word.

"At home, do you treat President Qin so viciously as well?" Jiang Ye looked at the pissed-off woman in front of him, not sure if he wanted to laugh or cry.
