Chapter 245 She Wanted to Strangle Him

Until Jiang An panicked and fled, the group finally recovered and continued into the ward to visit the patients.

As an investor of the hospital, the director had always been very respectful towards Gao Chuan, especially knowing that Gao Chuan was once the famous top executive at City Hospital, his admiration increased even more.

In the end, they were led to his office, and after receiving them, they finally agreed on a deal, the whole process was harmonious and joyful except for the little interlude in the hallway earlier.

Only after the contract was finalized, the director, who had always been curious, couldn’t help but ask about the relationship between Gao Chuan and Jiang An.

After all, their hospital suddenly welcomed such a large cooperation, he was amazed and wondered if there might be some unspeakable maneuvers behind it.

Gao Chuan, who was about to stand up and leave, sat back on the couch upon hearing this, crossed his arms, his eyes flickered, and he lightly said, "I am Dr. Jiang’s pursuer."

Secretary Chen, who had been standing by, couldn’t help but chuckle when he heard the man declare so affectionately.

Indeed, for such a small project, coming to negotiate in person, isn’t it the very case of ’the drunkard’s interest is not in the wine.’

However, since Jiang An returned to the country, he gradually got used to Gao Chuan’s similar flamboyant maneuvers.

The director, who was still looking nervous a moment ago, gave an awkward smile when he heard the man say this, and began to inexplicably appreciate Jiang An.

Perhaps without her, their hospital wouldn’t have been able to connect with the Gao family temple.

——

Just after finishing the surgery for the day, Jiang An took a day off and finally accepted the man’s invitation.

However, she did not expect that Gao Chuan was taking her to see a movie, an activity usually done by couples, which seemed somewhat mismatched given the man’s high status now.

But Gao Chuan evidently had already familiarized himself with the route to wooing someone, and exceptionally dressed casually that day, driving Jiang An to the cinema.

Since they chose an afternoon session, there were many people in the cinema, and the man queued for a long time to buy the popcorn Jiang An wanted to eat.

Both entered the cinema on time and possibly due to the romance movie, most of the audience were couples, creating a very intimate atmosphere.

As the movie started, the two were sitting in the darkness, with the popcorn placed in the middle, Jiang An naively thought that the man placed it there to create some accidental physical contacts while reaching for popcorn together, only to realize after a while that she was thinking too much; she was the only one grabbing and eating, and the man beside her didn’t touch it at all.

Eventually finding it troublesome, she simply hugged the popcorn to herself.

Unknowingly, the movie had reached its halfway point. It was just showing an emotional scene in the film, accompanied by seductive music, leading Jiang An to uncontrollably start wiping her tears, her eyes brimming with moist redness.

Under such circumstances, following the usual norms, the gentleman beside her should have tenderly offered a tissue and then held the lady’s hand to comfort her.

In fact, the couple sitting next to Jiang An did just that.

The moved Jiang An turned her head to look at Gao Chuan, who had stayed quiet beside her. She saw him leaning against the seat, his head buried low, his body rising and falling rhythmically with his breathing.

He was sleeping soundly, like a pig.

After all these five years, indeed a straight man is still a straight man, this familiar scene instantly made Jiang An both laugh and cry.

In the darkness, the woman pinched the popcorn in her hand fiercely and rolled her eyes hard.

To be honest, she felt the urge to strangle him right now.

...

Thus, the second half of the movie for Jiang An passed amidst the man’s intermittent snoring, until the film ended and people started to leave. However, the "pig" beside her still showed no signs of waking up, and Jiang An glanced over discontentedly.

Was accompanying her to a movie that boring that he fell into a deep sleep?

Jiang An glared at the man who still hadn’t opened his eyes, initially wanting to just walk away, but eventually turned back and kicked the sleeping man’s leg.

After three kicks, Gao Chuan finally woke up, his eyes bleary as he realized that the credits were rolling on the screen, and Jiang An was giving him an icy stare.

The man sat up casually in his seat, adjusted himself, and with a feigned innocence cleared his throat and asked, "Is it over?"

This feigned ignorance did not win the woman’s sympathy, as Jiang An looked at his drowsy appearance and sarcastically remarked, "Had a nice sleep?"

...

All the way out of the cinema, the woman walked briskly, and Gao Chuan, realizing that Jiang An was angry because he slept through the whole movie, carefully followed behind her.

No matter what, he was at fault; Gao Chuan watched the woman’s retreating back with regret filling his heart.

He had previously watched a movie with Jiang An as well, during which he also fell asleep heavily. At that time, Jiang An didn’t mind, but her sudden anger today caught him off guard.

As they exited the cinema, he quickened his pace to catch up to Jiang An, gently grabbed her arm and sincerely apologized, "I’m sorry, it won’t happen again."

The woman was forced to stop and turned to look at the man, his eyes drooping as he earnestly admitted his mistake.

It was the same harmless expression as if she had bullied him.

Jiang An’s eyes flickered, the indignation on her face slowly fading as she looked sideways at the man in front of her and skeptically asked, "You’re thinking there will be a next time?"

Gao Chuan paused upon hearing this, and quickly responded, "No, no next time."

In his mind, he secretly planned that next time he should choose a horror movie, surely he wouldn’t fall asleep again.

Although the man’s behavior was indeed infuriating, Jiang An was not relentless. Unknowingly, it was time to eat, and after noticing her anger had subsided, the man asked her where she wanted to go for dinner.

Jiang An glanced around and thought for a while, then said, "I want to eat wontons."

——

Since the two had resigned consecutively four years ago, it had been a long time since Gao Chuan had patronized the wonton shop near the City Hospital. When revisiting the place, they searched for a long time and found that the shop had expanded and moved but was still near the hospital.

Gao Chuan and Jiang An walked in one after the other. The shop had plenty of customers, and the décor was no longer as simple as before, and there were also one or two new faces among the staff.

What hadn’t changed was the delicious taste of the wontons and the thick essence of life within the small shop.

The former boss lady lit up when she saw the two enter, immediately greeting them with a warm smile, "Oh my, you two haven’t been here for so long."

In four years a lot had changed; she only knew that Jiang An and Gao Chuan had both resigned from the hospital and wasn’t aware that the two had gotten a divorce.

Having an emotional reunion with people she was grateful to, the woman excitedly approached and chatted with them, "Dr. Gao, oh, it has been more than two years since you last visited, no, no, now I should call you President Gao."
