Chapter 111: Wear More Clothes When It’s Cold

Gao Chuan had been busy with hospital affairs and did not show up until late in the evening. Jiang An stayed at the Gao Family’s house for dinner and helped clean up before rushing back, coincidentally just as Gao Chuan was getting off work. The man, probably exhausted from performing surgeries all day, asked Jiang An a few questions about Shen Mei’s birthday party earlier in the day.

Jiang An happily shared with the man how Ji Wanwan and Shen Mei had reconciled, and Gao Chuan simply nodded in response before heading to the bathroom to take a shower.

Jiang An also went back to her room to take a shower. As she opened the closet to get her pajamas, she suddenly remembered what Xia Zi had said to her yesterday. Although she had firmly refused on the surface, her heart was wavering.

If it was really as Xia Zi had said, that their current awkward atmosphere was because they hadn’t been honest with each other, then she might as well give it a try.

Xia Zi’s words from yesterday flooded into her mind: "Think about it, why hasn’t Dr. Gao touched you for more than a month? Could it be because he only kissed you when he was drunk and thought about taking responsibility? If that’s the only reason, naturally he wouldn’t touch you again. But if he truly likes you and wants to continue living with you, he wouldn’t shy away."

The girl lingered beside the closet for a while, then recalled the pajamas Shen Mei had given her, which she thought she would never wear. But now, as if possessed, she dug them out. Jiang An took out a black lace negligee and blushed as she walked into the bathroom.

After the shower, the girl struggled mentally for a long time before she dared to leave her bedroom. Gao Chuan, who had showered some time ago, was sitting on the sofa looking at his laptop dealing with documents. Jiang An timidly approached the kitchen, took some freshly bought fruits from the fridge, cut them up, and prepared to bring them to the man.

Jiang An had not realized how revealing this nightgown was. The sheer fabric, perhaps a size too small, barely reached her thighs. She was grateful that the air conditioning in the room was set high; otherwise, she might have frozen to death.

Dr. Gao was still checking his emails on the laptop, a faint scent of jasmine entering his nose. The man slightly lifted his head to see Jiang An placing a plate of cut fruits in front of him. There she was, wearing a black lace hollow-out negligee, her neck’s skin soft as curdled cream, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, and slender lace-clad legs revealing tender pink skin. As she slightly bent over, the man’s eyes caught a glimpse of her cleavage.

"Will you be busy for much longer?" Jiang An put down the fruit, noticing the man’s gaze, and said with an embarrassed face.

Dr. Gao swallowed silently, his voice a bit hoarse: "Almost done," as he shifted his gaze back to the computer screen, feeling his heart pound as Jiang An sat down beside him.

As Jiang An watched the man’s expression, which showed no hint of change, she was carefully recalling the "seducing" methods Xia Zi had told her about yesterday, when Dr. Gao’s magnetic voice suddenly rang in her ear.

"Wear more clothes when it’s cold," he said in a commanding tone, devoid of warmth.

Jiang An’s face flushed instantly, thinking to herself how Dr. Gao was not playing by the book. Just now, Xia Zi had confidently told her on WeChat that if she made a move in front of Dr. Gao, he would surely pounce on her.

The girl immediately stood up from the sofa, softly murmured "Hmm," and ran back to her room.

Embarrassing, just too embarrassing, she only wanted to dig a hole and bury herself now.

Back in her bedroom, she sent a message to Xia Zi, lying on the bed with her face still burning.

Within a few seconds, Xia Zi replied.

Xia Zi: Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter.

Jiang An felt discontent, blaming Xia Zi’s lousy advice for her embarrassment in front of Dr. Gao. Just as she was about to type a complaint, another message from Xia Zi came in.

Xia Zi: Were you too stiff?

Jiang An: ?

Xia Zi: Didn’t I tell you to initiate some physical contact to seduce him a bit? Sitting next to him like a statue definitely won’t work.

Jiang An: So what should I do now?

Xia Zi: Just go to bed.

Jiang An: ...

Following Xia Zi’s bad advice, Jiang An tiptoed out of her bedroom with her pillow in her arms, originally thinking that Dr. Gao was still busy in the living room and she could sneak into his bedroom. But as she stealthily opened the door, she saw Dr. Gao standing inside, his gaze shifting toward her when he heard the door open, catching only Jiang An’s little head poking through the gap.

Gao Chuan walked slowly over, seeing the girl holding a pillow with a flushed face, and asked what she needed so late at night.

The original plan was disrupted again. Sheepishly lowering her head, not daring to meet Dr. Gao’s gaze, Jiang An stammered, "I... I want to sleep with you tonight..."

"My room’s air conditioning is broken!" Jiang An quickly improvised an explanation.

Gao Chuan looked at the petite girl in front of him, listening to her hesitant words, his eyes half believing, half doubting, and he opened the door wider to let her in.

Jiang An walked in with small steps, holding her pillow, feeling like every step was on the edge of a knife. Today was really a disaster.

Next time I see Xia Zi, I’m definitely going to tear her mouth apart...

Gao Chuan closed the door behind him and turned around to see Jiang An had already obediently climbed into the bed, still wearing the lace nightgown she had on earlier, causing the man’s gaze to darken slightly.

After Gao Chuan lay down next to her, Jiang An immediately held her breath, and when she heard the man say "sleep", he turned off the light.

The room plunged into darkness. Jiang An turned her head slightly to glance at the man next to her, the words "physical contact" Xia Zi mentioned popped into her mind, and her heart fluttered anxiously.

The girl bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then gently shifted her body closer. Her warm skin touched the man’s cold arm, sending a jolt of electricity through her body.

Jiang An suddenly tensed up, and in her nervousness rubbed against the man’s arm again, her cheeks blushing in the darkness.

Jiang An’s eyes widened as she stared at the ceiling, pondering whether to move away when suddenly the person beside her leaned in and pulled her into his embrace, wrapping his arms around her slender waist, catching Jiang An off guard.

"Go to sleep," the man’s muffled voice came from above her head, Jiang An feeling the restraint from the man, realized that Dr. Gao was just holding her and had no other moves, she closed her eyes somewhat disappointedly.

The man’s steady breathing reached her ears, and after a while she tentatively called out, but heard no response.

Dr. Gao had fallen asleep, holding her.

The next morning Jiang An told Xia Zi about what had happened last night, completely regretful, complaining that she acted like a clown.

Xia Zi replied to the message at noon.

Xia Zi: Get a divorce, babe. The god must have some issues.

Xia Zi: Ah, who would have thought the god would... ah...

Jiang An: ...
