Chapter 177 She’s Being Petulant

At nine o’clock in the evening, Gao Chuan, who had been working overtime at the hospital, dragged his exhausted body back home. Upon entering, he found Jiang An sitting on the sofa watching TV, her gaze drifting absently across the screen until the man walked in, startling her back to reality.

"You’re back, have you eaten? I saved some food for you." Jiang An said as she stood up from the sofa.

The temperature in early April was no longer too cool, and Jiang An was wearing only a snow-white gauze dress with a light-colored shawl draped over her shoulders, looking gentle and lovely.

Gao Chuan began to undo his tie, watching the distracted girl and thinking about how he had hastily eaten a bowl of instant noodles back in his department, so he waved off her offer.

Jiang An paused briefly then stopped in her tracks, exchanging a few simple words with the man before heading alone back to the bedroom.

Gao Chuan noticed that the girl was not in high spirits tonight. Usually, Jiang An would buzz around him like a chattering sparrow asking all sorts of questions, but today she was unusually quiet.

The man didn’t think much of it and, after pouring a glass of water, went to his study to handle matters concerning his laboratory in Switzerland. By the time he finished, it was nearly ten o’clock.

All this time, there was no sound from Jiang An, so Gao Chuan closed his notebook and turned to enter the bedroom.

As he approached the door, he saw Jiang An already lying on the bed, showing only her back to him, nothing like the girl who used to lie in bed playing with her phone and browsing Weibo.

Gao Chuan methodically took a shower then quietly lay down beside the girl. After a long while, seeing that Jiang An didn’t initiate a conversation, he reluctantly reached out to turn off the light.

The night before, both of them had been physically and mentally exhausted, and he hadn’t wanted to bother Jiang An, but seeing her looking sullen after a busy day broke his original plan to be intimate with her.

Gao Chuan found it strange, he didn’t consider himself a person obsessed with sex, yet every time, he found himself desperately desiring Jiang An.

Perhaps for Jiang An, he had long been indulging in a cure that was as harmful as the disease itself.

The night was not too deep, and the breathing of the two people by the bed was steady, with no conversation throughout.

In the dimness, Jiang An blinked slightly; in fact, she had never fallen asleep, her mind still filled with what Song Xin had said to her that afternoon.

So, would Dr. Gao eventually leave her to be with Song Xin one day?

Why did the thought pain her as if her heart was being carved out?

Listening to the faint sounds beside her, the man who had been lying flat suddenly turned and suddenly pulled the girl, who had her back to him all along, into his arms, her delicate fragrance enveloping them both.

"Still awake?" The man’s muffled voice reached the girl’s ear.

Jiang An felt a sudden sting in her nose and softly murmured "Mhm" in the silence.

She wanted to ask him if what Song Xin had said was true, if this brief affection had always been a fleeting mirage.

He had never truly thought of spending a lifetime with her.

But at the same time, it felt like a fishbone stuck in her throat; she was too scared, frightened that once she pierced through this facade of ambiguity, she would truly have to step away entirely.

She didn’t have the courage to voice those challenging questions, although she always said she wouldn’t care about Dr. Gao’s past, sometimes people are just selfish.

When you fall in love with someone, you can’t help but want to be the only one.

She was no exception.

Gao Chuan listened as the person in his arms gave a simple response and then fell silent, silently kissing the girl’s delicate neck in the darkness, his hands already reaching for the girl’s waist to undo the belt of her dress from behind.

Jiang An didn’t realize what the man was doing until she felt a coolness around her waist. Her face flushed as she grabbed the thin fabric on her body, her lips parting slightly to let out a faint sound: "Dr. Gao, don’t."

At this point, the man, already lost in lust, suddenly froze his movements, yet once desires are aroused, they are not so easily quelled.

Gao Chuan silently bit the girl’s earlobe again, indulgently coaxing her: "Be good."

Jiang An felt the heat emanating from behind her as the man continued to try to strip her dress off, urgently shouting: "Dr. Gao, don’t, I don’t want to today."

As soon as her words fell, the man behind her finally came back to his senses and slowly stopped his actions.

Naturally, he would not force Jiang An.

The man answered with a hoarse voice, "Okay," then released the slender waist of the girl in his arms and silently got out of bed.

Jiang An never turned back to look at the man, not until the sound of running water from the bathroom finally allowed her to let down her guard, and she began to quietly sob in the darkness.

She really wasn’t in the mood for sexual activities today, but why did she feel a sense of loss the moment the man let go?

Was their relationship limited only to joy by the bedside?

Was Dr. Gao merely infatuated with her body?

A long while later, the man emerged from the bathroom, saw Jiang An still lying quietly on the bed, then left the bedroom with his slippers on.

The man stood on the balcony, silently lighting a cigarette, the evening breeze began to cool his heated body, his dark deep eyes shimmering attractively in the darkness.

The curling smoke rose, the light at the man’s fingertips flickering on and off.

He probably had figured out that Jiang An’s mood tonight was because of the morning’s incident with the Samoyed.

Like a child throwing a tantrum in front of adults, the man thought she might be fine after a while.

Perhaps neither of them realized that from that inharmonious night onward, the cracks between them had begun to slowly grow.

A few days later, Jiang An, who was planning to take a short rest at the hospital, received a call from Ji Wanwan inviting her to attend the charity auction hosted by the Gao Group this weekend.

Jiang An on the other end of the phone hesitated; she had never attended such an event, and even after being married to Dr. Gao for so long, he had never mentioned anything about the Gao Family business to her.

Ji Wanwan urged her over the phone to attend, appearing in the public eye could solidify her status as Mrs. Gao among Gao Chuan’s social circle and prevent Song Xin from constantly linking herself with Gao Chuan.

Jiang An naturally understood that if she wanted to stay by Dr. Gao’s side for the long term, she would have to start trying to integrate into Dr. Gao’s social circle, rather than staying isolated.

Hearing Ji Wanwan’s words, the girl was half-convinced and remained hesitant, as she knew nothing about such occasions.

Moreover, she had learned from Song Li that Gao Chuan was the second major shareholder of Gao Group.

Not until Ji Wanwan angrily declared on the phone: "Jiang An, I said so much the other day and it was all in vain, now you have to let the whole world know you are indeed Mrs. Gao, and it’s Song Xin who is the third party interfering in other people’s relationships."

"I don’t care, I’ll send a car to pick you up, just come with me, I’ll be with you, what are you afraid of?"

Jiang An was stunned and wanted to speak when the other party had already hung up with a "beep beep beep".
