Chapter 226: Is He Planning to Keep Jiang An?

The next day was Saturday. Jiang An, who planned to sleep in after the gathering last night, was woken up early in the morning by the incessant ringing of the doorbell. With her hair in disarray and eyes half-closed, she scuttled to the door, only to be greeted by a row of men in suits, crowding the narrow hallway, resembling a scene straight out of the mafia.

The leading man stood before Jiang An and amiably addressed her as "Ms. Jiang," leaving her standing puzzled in the doorway.

"I am President Gao’s secretary, Chen Mi, here to deliver some items to you today," the man revealed his identity.

Hearing his connection with Gao Chuan, Jiang An frowned in confusion and asked, "Deliver what?"

Secretary Chen turned to signal the bodyguards behind him to bring forward their items; bags large and small were piled at Jiang An’s feet. She glanced down in surprise as the man explained, "These are all new products from various top brands, including newly launched clothes and limited-edition jewelry, all meticulously selected by President Gao for you."

Listening to the self-proclaimed secretary continuously introduce the countless shopping bags at her feet, Jiang An cut him off, "Enough, please take all of this away."

Secretary Chen, who was ready to display his eloquence, awkwardly smiled and worriedly asked, "Ms. Jiang, don’t you like these?"

Jiang An shook her head helplessly, "It’s not about whether I like them or not; I will not accept these things. Please, take them away!"

The man, puzzled by her ungrateful attitude, thought to himself that these expensive clothes and jewelry would rarely be refused by other women; why were they ineffective with Jiang An?

"Ms. Jiang, we are only responsible for delivery. It would be better to contact President Gao directly about whether to keep them or not," the secretary suggested, turning to leave with the others.

Seeing this, Jiang An hurriedly called out from behind, "Wait, I’ll call President Gao now!"

At that moment, Gao Chuan was in Song Li’s office discussing a new collaboration project when he saw Jiang An’s call. His dark eyes sparkled with a hint of surprise, and Song Li, noticing the caller ID read "Jiang An," couldn’t help but smirk.

"Are you two really reigniting old flames?" Song Li teased unabashedly, making "tsk tsk" noises seeing Gao Chuan’s softened expression.

Ignoring his friend’s mockery, Gao Chuan pressed the answer button, expecting Jiang An to thank him for the gifts. Instead, he was greeted with her grievous voice, asking him to order his men to take everything away.

"What’s wrong? Don’t you like them?" Gao Chuan asked, perplexed, thinking that the secretary had assured him these were gifts any woman would love, surely enough to win Jiang An’s heart.

Jiang An looked down at the pile of luxury goods beneath her feet and sighed faintly, vaguely recalling the rumors about her being maintained.

Gao Chuan’s grand gesture had unintentionally added fuel to those rumors.

"Don’t send me things anymore; I won’t accept them," her calm voice transmitted through the line as the man unknowingly furrowed his brows.

"Have your people disappear from my doorstep; I need to sleep." Jiang An’s frustration rose thinking how her relaxing weekend was disrupted, and she hung up the phone abruptly.

After hearing the disconnected tone of "beep beep beep," Gao Chuan moved the phone away from his ear, called Chen Mi to instruct him to take everything back, and placed his phone on the desk, rubbing his temples with a troubled expression.

Song Li ordered his assistant to go make two cups of coffee, and turned around to see the man looking unhappy, curiously probing.

After learning what had happened in the morning, he burst into laughter.

"Are you trying to keep the younger sister-in-law as a mistress?" The man leaned back on the sofa behind him, mercilessly mocking Gao Chuan’s sleazy tactics, "I’d be kind not to scold you."

Gao Chuan helplessly rubbed his forehead, completely baffled as to why Jiang An kept rejecting him time and again.

He had already borrowed experiences from others on how to pursue girls, incorporating romance and surprises. What more could he do?

After the laughter, Song Li watched Gao Chuan, who was wracking his brain, and slowly felt ripples in his heart.

"The younger sister-in-law is not like those other women, she doesn’t want these material things." The man handed the coffee brought by the assistant to Gao Chuan, giving him a meaningful hint.

Jiang An was naturally not a vain woman, otherwise she wouldn’t have returned all her shares of property to Gao Chuan when they divorced.

Upon hearing this, Gao Chuan looked up at Song Li, who seemed confident. The man raised his eyebrows, placed his hand gently on his heart, and said earnestly, "What she wants is here."

—

After that sudden attack early in the morning, Jiang An, who initially wanted to go back to bed and sleep in, completely lost her desire to sleep, tossing and turning over her relationship with Gao Chuan.

What kind of cursed fate was this, that she couldn’t shake him off no matter how hard she tried?

By the afternoon, the woman changed her clothes and went out to meet Xia Zi, sharing with her friend the events that had recently occurred.

When Xia Zi heard that Gao Chuan wanted to pursue her again, she immediately leaped up from her chair, frustrated and exclaimed, "What is he thinking? Haven’t you guys cleanly broken up four years ago?"

Her loud voice suddenly drew the attention of many passersby; Jiang An quickly pulled on her sleeve, urging her to sit back down.

Once calm, Xia Zi folded her arms and looked dissatisfied at Jiang An, "You’re not seriously considering remarrying him, are you? Have you forgotten what he did to you back then? You can’t just forget the pain once the wound heals."

Listening to her friend’s warning, Jiang An silently nodded, as faint memories slowly awoke in her mind.

How could she forget? The relentless indifference, the endless silence, the entire marriage seemed like a solo performance by her alone.

That unborn child was an insurmountable barrier in her heart; every time she saw a four- or five-year-old child on the street, she couldn’t help but recall the heart-wrenching pain of her miscarriage.

Seeing Jiang An’s somber expression, Xia Zi reached forward and took her hand, "Jiang An, I know you don’t want to hear this, but I still want to say it—don’t let your kindness trip you up again. If Gao Chuan really cared about you, he wouldn’t have gone four years without contacting you. Now that you’re starting a new relationship, his sudden appearance is purely out of possessiveness. You really can’t let him hurt you again."

Jiang An nodded in agreement, softly uttering, "Hmm."

All these years had passed, yet he still didn’t understand her, nor did he love her.
