Chapter 149: Chapter 147 He Is Already Married

Chapter 147 He’s Already Married

After a night of drunkenness, Song Xin woke up in the morning and remembered what happened at the birthday party yesterday. Listening to her brother, Song Li, recount how she poured out her heart to Gao Chuan the night before, she immediately regretted her actions.

Her memories were a bit hazy, but she vaguely remembered that the man had rejected her, just like in the past.

Seeing Song Xin looking haggard after a night of turmoil, Song Li felt a heartache as her brother. He hadn’t discussed Gao Chuan with Song Xin since she returned.

Even after knowing about the past between the two, the family tried to avoid mentioning Gao Chuan in front of her.

But seeing Song Xin so persistently delusional, Song Li’s heart couldn’t help but feel bitter.

"Yesterday, you asked what you wanted to ask. It’s time to let go of this affair," Song Li said as he brought a cup of hangover soup from downstairs, placing it on the bedside table with a slight sigh.

Song Xin had never mentioned her feelings for Gao Chuan to her brother, but Song Li had long been aware that his sister’s feelings for Gao Chuan had accumulated over time.

Affections born over a long period are the hardest to dissolve.

"But, brother, I can’t accept this," Song Xin said in a hoarse voice, stubbornly lifting her head.

She had always been proud, refusing to bow her head, clinging on even after a complete defeat.

After causing such a scene last night, waking up with a lingering headache in the morning, hearing Song Li speaking to her this way made her emotions quietly overflow.

She had thought about letting go, but completely letting go was not as easy as saying it.

"Brother, give me one last chance, I..." Song Xin sat on the bed, her lips moving as if she had made a decision.

But before she could finish her sentence, Song Li abruptly interrupted her with a hint of harshness in his voice, "He’s already married."

Suddenly, these few words settled in Song Xin’s ears, her mind thundering explosively.

Still sitting on the bed, Song Xin first showed a look of astonishment, and after a few seconds, her lips curled into a smile, thinking Song Li was joking. "How could that be, Brother? Stop joking..."

Song Li seemed to have anticipated that Song Xin would not easily believe it, as he too was shocked when he first heard the news of Gao Chuan’s marriage.

However, to make Song Xin completely let go, he still needed to play the villain.

With a calm face, the man looked at Song Xin’s incredulous expression and calmly repeated, "He really is married. It happened last October, it just wasn’t made public."

Song Xin suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with shock, already beginning to waver because of his words.

"I’m not lying to you, it’s true. The Gao family knows, and even some friends you invited last night know. If you don’t believe it, you can call Aunt Shen and ask her yourself," Song Li said word by word, his calm tone unflustered.

Song Xin stared at the man’s serious face, not joking at all, and even though she was already emotionally distraught, she still vigorously shook her head, muttering to herself, "Impossible, impossible."

How could it be possible? How could Gao Chuan be married?

He clearly said he would never marry in his life, that he was a bachelor by choice.

Moreover, over the years, there were no other women close to him apart from her; where could a marriage partner come from?

So Song Li must be trying to provoke her to let go.

Innerly struggling, the woman tried to convince herself, but Song Li could see that she believed him.

The man watched her complex expression and sighed softly, "Song Xin, it’s been six years. He won’t wait for you forever. It’s time for you to start a new life."

Moreover, Gao Chuan had never liked her.

"I just arranged a leave for you from the City Hospital. After these days pass, you’ll resign and come work at my company," Song Li earnestly advised.

Song Xin hadn’t even returned to the country before she was eager to enter the City Hospital. He understood her intentions, and initially, he didn’t stop her because Gao Chuan didn’t mind, presumably thinking that Song Xin wouldn’t do anything inappropriate. But after what happened last night, he realized his sister was hopelessly in love.

That was all he could say; the rest was up to her.

After giving his instructions, the man left the room without making another sound, leaving Song Xin to contemplate alone.

Song Xin was still immersed in her emotions, her lips moving without making any sound, until tears uncontrollably fell, realizing she had succumbed.

Staying abroad for six years, she had imagined coming back to a world where things had changed. She had even considered the possibility that Gao Chuan might have dated someone, but she never thought he would be married.

Had she ultimately been one step too late?

When Song Xin’s call came in, Gao Chuan was driving Jiang An to the hospital. The ringtone of the phone reached his ears through the Bluetooth earpiece, and glanced at the caller ID without acknowledging it, directly hanging up in front of Jiang An.

However, after being cut off, the caller persisted, continuing to call. Jiang An gently suggested that maybe they should pull over, wondering if there could be an emergency.

"It’s nothing," Gao Chuan said as he swiped his finger to set his phone to Do Not Disturb mode. He had a good guess what Song Xin was probably going to ask about.

Last night, he had arranged with Song Li to inform Song Xin of his marriage, but not to reveal that the spouse was Jiang An.

Now Song Xin’s call was most likely to question him about the marriage details.

Arriving at the usual agreed spot, Jiang An got out of the car first, and Gao Chuan watched the girl unbuckle her seatbelt. Rather than continuing into the hospital, he stopped to open the message notification on his phone.

Song Xin had indeed been persistently calling, the last call just a few seconds ago. The man’s face darkened, and he silently returned Song Xin’s call.

The moment the call connected, a long silence passed through the electrical currents.

"Hello?" Gao Chuan tentatively spoke.

He might not know that Song Xin was desperately holding back her tears at the other end of the phone, and after a long pause, she bluntly asked, "Who is she?"

His silence about the marriage had already filled her with mixed emotions.

She wanted to see what kind of woman was worthy of being brought into his cold and aloof life.

Hearing Song Xin’s direct approach, Gao Chuan assumed that Song Li had told her already.

"Tell me, who is she?" Song Xin, hearing no response from the other end, finally broke down, her voice trembling.

The next second, a clear and cold voice transmitted through the electric currents, "It doesn’t concern you."
