Chapter 223 Jiang An, I’m Pursuing You

"You are mine." The drunken man stubbornly kept saying, refusing to let go of Jiang An.

People in the room watched as Gao Chuan clung to Jiang An like a stubborn plaster, unable to shake him off no matter how hard she tried, leaving everyone staring in shock.

The scene was at a deadlock, and Jiang An, unable to tolerate the man’s nonsensical harassment, lowered her voice and coaxed gently: "I won’t leave, can you please let go of me first?"

The response she received was still the persistent, "You are mine."

Jiang An helplessly held her forehead and turned to look at the stagnant-faced crowd, desperately seeking help: "Can someone please come and pull him away?"

Ji Wanwan, who had been standing nearby watching, snapped out of it and, together with Gao Yu who was beside her, rushed over to pry the man’s hands from Jiang An’s waist. After a lot of effort, they finally managed to free her.

To prevent the man from gluing himself to her again, Ji Wanwan summoned two men to take Gao Chuan to another room to rest. As the two men escorted him away, his drunken mumblings could still faintly be heard.

"You are mine."

The next morning, dawn broke.

The man, still immersed in sleep, was woken by a calling voice beside his ear and slowly opened his eyes, only to see a wide-eyed, bushy-browed toddler.

Seeing that he was still not awake, Yanyan had already climbed onto his stomach, continuously calling out, "Uncle, wake up!"

Upon seeing Gao Chuan finally open his eyes, the little guy excitedly began patting him, prompting Gao Chuan to rub his eyes. Realizing it was broad daylight outside, he immediately picked the little one off him.

After sitting up, he surveyed the surroundings and realized he was in his own home. Memories of last night’s drunkenness slowly seeped into his mind, giving him a headache as he patted the back of his head.

"Uncle is a big lazy pig, Yanyan is going to have lunch and still isn’t up!" The kid sat beside him like a little adult, complaining about him.

The childish voice entered Gao Chuan’s ears, and he playfully picked up the little guy, teasing him: "Who’s calling who a lazy pig?"

The little guy, dangling in mid-air, fiercely kicked his little legs and protested about Gao Chuan bullying him.

While uncle and nephew were having fun, Gao Yu walked in with a bowl of hangover soup, and upon seeing that Gao Chuan had woken up, he walked directly over to the bedside.

Seeing him, Gao Chuan finally put the kid down, and after landing, the little guy immediately rushed into Gao Yu’s arms to complain. Gao Yu pacified him with a few words and smoothed his hair, then ordered the little one to go home first.

With only the two brothers left in the room, Gao Chuan hadn’t even gotten out of bed when he heard Gao Yu coldly scolding: "Do you still want your stomach? Drinking so much, do you have a death wish?"

As his elder brother, he naturally knew Gao Chuan’s tolerance to alcohol, claiming exaggeratedly that he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. He hadn’t expected Gao Chuan to drink himself into a stupor last night, making such a fool of himself in public.

Gao Chuan listened as his brother sternly scolded him, and remnants of his memory prompted him to ask about Jiang An.

He hadn’t finished his sentence before Gao Yu interrupted him, glaring at him angrily, "You still have the face to ask, now half the circle knows you held onto her hand last night and wouldn’t let go."

Becoming the subject of other people’s gossip wasn’t a good thing for Jiang An.

"It’s not as I say, if you truly want to pursue the girl, then earnestly pursue her. Don’t act like a hooligan everyday, or you’ll scare her off." Gao Yu recalled yesterday’s scene of Gao Chuan clinging to Jiang An, his eyes furious and frantic.

It was like he was frustrated to the bones with his younger brother.

Gao Chuan listened to his words, the hint of sleepiness in his eyes completely disappeared. He obediently finished the hangover soup as Gao Yu asked, then swiftly got out of bed.

The man went straight to the bathroom to take a cold shower, and after he came out, he changed into clean clothes and was about to leave. Gao Yu, who came to deliver the meal, saw his hurried pace and asked where he was going in the middle of the day.

"Going to work at the office." The man responded indifferently and left.

Gao Yu turned, watching the man’s departing figure, helplessly set the food on the table, and muttered, "Why won’t he see sense?"

After last night’s drama, Jiang An was restless all day.

The scene of Gao Chuan clutching her and refusing to let go kept echoing in her mind, and the irritation in her heart lingered.

Many people at the party last night gossiped about her and Gao Chuan afterwards, making her wish she could just disappear.

Unknowingly, it was six o’clock in the evening; the woman tidied up the stuff on her desk ready to leave work, and just as she walked out of her office, she received a call from Shen Mei inviting her over for dinner.

Jiang An wanted to decline immediately, but Shen Mei persisted over the phone, expressing her concern and promising that Gao Chuan would not be at home.

"Jiang An, you know, your uncle has been unwell, and he has been longing to see you and play chess with you," Shen Mei persisted on the phone.

Hearing that her uncle was not feeling well, Jiang An’s heart softened, and she finally agreed to go.

It was an hour later when she took a taxi to the Gao Family’s home, the elderly couple had prepared a large table of dishes and were waiting for her. As soon as Jiang An entered, she was warmly greeted with smiles.

This time the old lady kept her promise, Gao Chuan did not appear during the dinner, and she gradually relaxed, reminding the elderly couple to take good care of their health during the meal.

After dinner, Jiang An accompanied Gao Lin to the study to play chess. Since the elderly man had a severe illness two years ago, his health had clearly deteriorated, and Jiang An could feel his inadequacy just by playing chess with him.

She also vaguely heard about the events that had occurred with the elderly couple over the past four years through Ji Wanwan. Gao Lin had a sudden stroke two years ago and was hospitalized for half a month, while Shen Mei’s days were spent in tears due to her husband’s illness, which turned her hair white overnight.

When she was married to Gao Chuan, the elderly couple had taken great care of her, and she could not bear to let them be disappointed in her.

After everything was done, Shen Mei had the family driver take Jiang An home. It was nearly nine o’clock in the evening when the car reached her apartment, she thanked the driver and was ready to get off.

It was only when she crossed the street and reached the entrance of the building that she noticed Gao Chuan leaning against the car waiting for her. The dim streetlight enveloped the tall figure of the man, barely illuminating his chiseled profile.

Tonight’s sky wasn’t bright, darkness enveloped the misty sky, and a few strands of cool breeze blew over gently from nowhere.

Gao Chuan looked up and saw Jiang An standing not far from him. He took his steps slowly towards her.

Seeing him now filled Jiang An with anger, recalling her social death scene from last night, she did not want to be nice to him and attempted to walk past him upstairs.

"Jiang An, I’m sorry, I offended you yesterday when I was drunk," the man stopped in front of her blocking her path, finally refraining from making any more entangling actions, his dark eyes flashing a hint of sincerity.

Jiang An heard his apology, her expression froze abruptly, showing a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" she restrained her emotions and asked in a cool tone.

Wasn’t what he did enough already? An abrupt kiss, last night’s entanglement made her lose face in front of everyone.

In the ensuing silence, Gao Chuan lowered his gaze at Jiang An’s indifferent face, furrowing his brow slightly, then suddenly lowering his voice, "Jiang An, starting from tomorrow, I will pursue you."
