Chapter 99: The Fox Faces the Little Cat

Gao Chuan took advantage of the girl turning around to yank one of her arms, pulling her entire body into his embrace. Jiang An was forced to step back a few paces and ended up sitting on the man’s lap. She fell squarely into the man’s arms, and her heart skipped a beat unconsciously.

By the time Jiang An reacted, she could already feel the man pressing tightly against her back, her ears quickly turning red. She heard the man’s voice, slightly weary, coming from behind her: "When did you get back?"

Jiang An felt Gao Chuan’s hand pressing firmly against her waist, her face blushing like the twilight sky, and she stuttered in response, "Around nine o’clock."

With her back to Gao Chuan, Jiang An couldn’t see the tired expression on the man’s face at that moment. Although they had held hands and kissed before, they had never engaged in such intimate gestures. She was caught off guard and felt the man lowering his head onto her shoulder, causing a tickling sensation on her neck. The girl’s voice trembled as she asked, "Are you done with your work?"

Gao Chuan quietly buried his head in the girl’s shoulder, and a muffled "Hmm" emerged from his chest.

Jiang An, feeling the weight from behind, tensed up and didn’t dare move. She felt the man’s hot breath on her fair skin, silencing her for a moment, unable to utter a word.

The two remained in this position. Jiang An, having just taken a bath, was exuding a fragrance of jasmine. The man, inhaling such a scent, silently closed his eyes.

Jiang An seemed to have some magical power; as long as he was near her, all the troubles in his heart would dissipate.

After a long while, Jiang An, still in her rigid pose, started to feel a sourness in her waist. Thinking the man behind her had fallen asleep, she called out softly, "Dr. Gao?"

"Hmm?" The man replied with a husky voice, alluring and sexy.

"Let’s talk," Jiang An mustered her courage to speak, wanting to put into practice the ideas that had emerged during the day.

Hearing no movement from the man behind her, Jiang An tentatively twisted her body. Only then did the man leave her shoulder and sit up straight, watching the girl stand up from his lap and facing him seriously, saying, "Dr. Gao, you really went too far in the elevator today."

The girl had a look of righteous indignation, as if reproaching him, but to him, she seemed like a little cat throwing a temper.

"In what way did I go too far?" Gao Chuan lifted his eyes to look at the girl with a serious face, knowing that Jiang An was discussing serious matters with him, yet his tone was full of teasing.

An idea to tease the little cat before him suddenly sprang to his mind.

Jiang An stood straight, hands on her hips, raising her voice as if this would strengthen her confidence in front of Gao Chuan. She cleared her throat and said sternly, "If people from our department saw us, we’d be done for. Didn’t we agree..."

Before the little cat could finish speaking, she was suddenly pulled by the arm by Gao Chuan, who was sitting in the chair. Caught off guard, she stumbled forward and was forced to be embraced by the man onto his lap, now facing him directly. Jiang An suddenly looked up and met the man’s burning gaze, her face turning red with shame.

"Continue," Gao Chuan wrapped his arms around the slender waist of the person in front of him. After her bath, Jiang An had put on only a thin nightgown, and his palm could seemingly sense the hot temperature of her body.

Jiang An was compelled to wrap her arms around the neck of the man before her, sitting on his thighs, looking down as he gave her an indulgent look, like a cunning fox staring at her intently.

The words that were about to slip out were abruptly halted at her lips. Jiang An now understood that her well-intentioned words might just seem like idle nagging in front of Gao Chuan.

If brute force won’t work, then one must resort to softer strategies.

"Dr. Gao, from now on, let’s try to limit our interactions in the hospital, and best avoid private meetings when no one is around, otherwise it could lead to misunderstandings if seen by others." Jiang An slowed down her speech, coaxing like one would with a child, with a pleading look inevitably surfacing in her eyes.

Gao Chuan tilted his head up to take in the delicate features of the girl’s face. Jiang An already had an adorable baby face, and now with a begging expression, her big watery eyes shimmered, and her small cherry lips glistened under the weak light in the study, giving off a pitiful charm.

The sight made the man’s heart itch and an unclear restlessness take hold of him; his Adam’s apple involuntarily moved.

"So, how do you plan to compensate me?" The man’s injured pride intensified, making the girl’s slim waist incredibly soft to the touch.

Jiang An felt the man’s movement, her little face suddenly flushed red, and she became puzzled for a moment: "What compensation?"

Gao Chuan continued to gaze up at her endearing little face, silent.

Jiang An, belatedly realizing, guessed that the man was probably holding a grudge because she had purposely distanced herself from him during the day. But to think that even that required compensation?

"Don’t you know that actors also demand a fee for their performance?" The man’s lips parted and closed, his words filled with innuendo.

Jiang An, knowing she was at fault and hearing the man address her as "Dr. Jiang," realized he was mocking her. Embarrassed, she lowered her head, her cheeks burning hot as she whispered, "What do you want as your fee?"

She had clearly come to negotiate with the man, but somehow, she ended up being outmaneuvered by him.

Indeed, he was a cunning old fox, Jiang An thought bitterly.

Gao Chuan watched as Jiang An fell into the trap, his lips curving up slightly; this little cat was truly amusing to tease.

"What do you think?" The man deliberately leaned in a bit closer, meeting the girl’s delicate face.

Jiang An, hearing the man throw the question back at her, turned her face away in a fit of pique, "I don’t know."

Her rapidly beating heart betrayed her; Jiang An’s little face was as red as a ripe persimmon, no longer daring to look at the man.

Gao Chuan observed the flustered little cat before him, her blushing face as captivating as a lotus emerging from water.

The next second, he gently turned the girl’s head back towards him; when she looked up in surprise, he planted a kiss directly on her lips, claiming her with dominance. He left an imprint on her tender lips and lightly stated, "I’ll take this as my fee."

Caught off guard, Jiang An lowered her eyelids, staring at the man’s smug expression, her heart erupting like a volcano, wondering how this man managed to say such provocative words with such a straight face.

Where had the aloof and reticent Dr. Gao gone?

"I... I understand." Jiang An stammered a reply, wanting to get off the man and quickly escape this ambiguous atmosphere, but as soon as she got up, she was pulled back by the man. His sharp gaze fell on her, with a wicked, unrestrained smile on his lips, he asked her, "When do you plan to give me today’s fee, Dr. Jiang?"

His penetrating stare, questioning expression, seemed to be filled with anticipation.
