Chapter 156: So It Really Was Her

Two days later, Gao Chuan returned from his business trip to Japan. The man only got home in the afternoon, while Jiang An was still working at the hospital. By the time he finished summarizing his attendance at the conference, it was already three o’clock.

Shen Mei invited the two of them over for dinner that evening. Gao Chuan sent a message to Jiang An and set an alarm for 5:30 pm, planning to go to the hospital and pick her up.

The early days of March in Jing City brought a sudden warmth, ushering in a spring revival, with all things coming back to life.

The news received last night was still clear in her mind. The next day, as Song Xin arrived at the hospital for work, her gaze kept falling on Jiang An. Although the answer was already clear, she still found it hard to believe that Gao Chuan’s wife would be such an ordinary girl.

Although she was Jiang An’s instructing doctor, Song Xin had little private interaction with such a young girl outside of work. What she saw more in Jiang An’s actions was the naivety of an intern new to the workplace and the simplicity of a young girl.

Subconsciously, she always thought that Gao Chuan would prefer the strong, career-woman type. It was unexpected that he would like a girl who seemed naive to the ways of the world.

However, you can know the face but not the heart, perhaps Jiang An has sides to her that are yet unknown.

Taking advantage of the gap when both had just finished a surgery and were resting, Song Xin seized the opportunity to make small talk with Jiang An. She just wanted to probe deliberately.

"Jiang An, aren’t your parents urging you to find a boyfriend?" Song Xin beat around the bush, her eyes turning to observe Jiang An’s expression.

Originally expecting the girl to conceal her past deliberately, Song Xin was surprised to see a trace of despondency in Jiang An’s eyes, as if she hadn’t expected Song Xin to suddenly take an interest in her personal life. But who else would there be to pressure her?

She was alone, after all.

"No, no, I’m not in a hurry." Even though it hit a sore spot, Jiang An still managed to curl her lips into a forced smile.

Watching Jiang An’s flustered demeanor, Song Xin felt a sudden shiver in her heart, thinking to herself how this girl could lie without batting an eyelid.

"What type do you like? Let me see if I can introduce someone suitable to you?" Song Xin leaned on the desk nearby, took a sip from her water glass, and continued the idle banter.

As expected, Jiang An quickly waved her hands, declining the offer.

"Just talk about it. You’re not getting any younger, I’ll help you keep an eye out for someone suitable." Song Xin persisted, determined not to believe that she couldn’t coerce the girl into revealing her secret.

Sensing that Song Xin was doggedly pursuing the issue of her finding a boyfriend, Jiang An grew perplexed. She had always felt that Song Xin was lukewarm towards her, perhaps because Song Xin herself lacked experience in guiding others and wasn’t good at establishing relationships with students, not as approachable as Dr. Li had been previously. So why had she suddenly taken an interest in her personal life today?

As the girl stumbled over her thoughts on how to reply, Song Xin suddenly spoke, interrupting her train of thought with a drawn-out voice, probing, "I think there are a few eligible doctors in our department who wouldn’t be bad."

"How about Dr. Bai? Young and handsome..."

Jiang An was taken aback by Song Xin’s shift in topic to the male doctors in the department, and her expression revealed her surprise as she responded with an awkward smile and a shake of her head.

Song Xin pursed her lips in a smile, thought for a moment, and then pursued with another question, "What about Dr. Gao?"

Upon hearing Song Xin bring up Dr. Gao, Jiang An looked astonished, not understanding why the person before her gave her the impression she was fishing for information.

Could it be she already knew about her secret marriage to Gao Chuan?

Jiang An tried hard to suppress her abruptly rising emotions, striving to appear less flustered as she continued to decline.

Hopefully, Song Xin wasn’t testing her, Jiang An reassured herself, choosing to believe that the woman was simply joking around.

Even though the girl’s expression remained calm as she responded, Song Xin inevitably detected a clue—that hurried attempt to distance herself was suspicious, like the saying ’there is no silver here.’

It was as if she was making it clear that it was she whom Gao Chuan had married.

"Alright then, you’ll have to work harder, don’t end up like me, still single at an older age," Song Xin finally brought the awkward topic to an end, feigning a word of advice.

Jiang An considered it just a typical rant from Song Xin and quickly objected, "Dr. Song is so outstanding, you’ll definitely meet a man you like."

Just as Song Xin was about to stand up and leave, she heard this and a sneer crossed her face. Was this an attempt to mock her?

She had waited six long years, only for this woman, who had appeared less than a few months ago, to get there first.

She didn’t like Jiang An. From the moment she learned that Gao Chuan was married to her, she was destined to never look at Jiang An with indifference again.

It wasn’t until Song Xin returned to her own seat that Jiang An finally breathed a sigh of relief, her mind suddenly recalling the gossip she heard from Song Ya about Song Xin and Dr. Gao.

After her thoughts wandered for a while, she realized she was fantasizing aimlessly. The girl smacked her own head and continued to throw herself into the work in front of her.

At six o’clock, the girl packed up on time to get off work. As soon as she flipped out her phone, she saw a message from Gao Chuan asking her to download a file from the office as he wouldn’t be coming up.

Jiang An, avoiding others, went to the door of Gao Chuan’s office, and only after confirming Ren Lin wasn’t there did she dare to go in. Upon entering, she saw the document Gao Chuan mentioned on his desk, hastily stuffed it into her bag, and headed out.

Just a few steps out of Gao Chuan’s office, she came face to face with Song Xin, who was also about to leave work; Song Xin saw her walking out like a thief but didn’t say anything on the surface.

The two people who met greeted each other and entered the elevator together. Song Xin asked Jiang An how she was getting home and if she needed a ride.

Jiang An politely declined, saying she would take the bus home.

Song Xin didn’t say anything on the surface, but after driving her car out of the underground parking lot, she saw the girl looking around, about to cross the street.

The hospital was right next to the bus stop, but where else could she be going?

Driven by some impulse, Song Xin turned the steering wheel and followed the hurrying girl, discovering that Jiang An had turned two corners and finally entered a sparsely populated pedestrian street.

Song Xin trailed behind and saw Jiang An finally stop; she also stopped her car at the corner.

From the driver’s seat, she looked up and watched from not too far away. She saw Jiang An approach a black car, and almost immediately, a man got out. The two of them hugged in front of the car, exchanged a few words, and soon both got into the car.

Song Xin was still sitting in her car, stunned, her face alarmingly pale, even long after the car had left the street.

Although she couldn’t see the face of the man who had been turned away, she couldn’t mistake Gao Chuan’s mocked Volkswagen Phaeton.

So, was it really so?

He was married to Jiang An.
