Chapter 258 Jealous Over a Child

The next day was Gao Yan’s birthday, and since Jiang An had to work during the day, she didn’t get to attend the birthday party for the little ones until the evening with Gao Chuan.

What was said to be a simple family banquet turned out to be quite an event as Jiang An realized the Gao Family’s abode was packed with relatives, most of them familiar faces from past encounters. Although she couldn’t exactly place all these relatives, they certainly recognized her.

Seeing the two of them enter arm in arm, many were taken aback.

Those who were in the know were aware that the couple had quietly married and divorced before, and now after all these years, they were back together. What exactly was going on?

On the contrary, Shen Mei and Gao Lin couldn’t stop their beaming smiles as they watched the two come in together.

Especially Shen Mei, the elderly lady immediately grabbed Jiang An’s hand with emotion and said excitedly, "Anan, I am truly delighted. In this life, I’ve set my heart on you as my daughter-in-law."

Knowing that the old lady had been scheming for their reunion, Jiang An displayed a gracefully constrained smile, not pulling away from the lady’s grip. It was Gao Chuan beside her who was quick to refute, "Mom, we’re not remarried yet."

He was concerned Shen Mei calling Jiang An "daughter-in-law" repeatedly in front of so many people might overwhelm her psychologically.

After all, one couldn’t let the wife he had finally chased down be scared off just like that.

Shen Mei, naturally oblivious to their agreement, looked puzzled, "Aren’t you two together now?"

Jiang An politely clarified that they were now just boyfriend and girlfriend.

Shen Mei chuckled at that, seemingly unconcerned, and patted Jiang An’s hand, "Oh, that’s all the same, isn’t it? When you two have time, hurry and get the paperwork done, so this old woman can rest easy!"

Well, there you go, all their effort in explaining gone to waste; the old lady still didn’t get it.

Cringing at Shen Mei’s natural insistence they get remarried, Jiang An could only offer an awkward smile. Before Shen Mei could say more, Yanyan, in a neat deep blue suit, dashed out of the room. Seeing Jiang An talking with Shen Mei, he beamed with joy and ran over to hug her legs.

"Sister, you finally came!" the child exclaimed with delighted surprise in his voice.

Jiang An looked down at her and heard the birthday star’s cheery greeting, gently patting the child’s head, "Happy birthday, little Yanyan!"

Shen Mei, watching their affectionate interaction, couldn’t help but smile and instruct Gao Yan, "Yanyan, she’s not your sister, you should call her Auntie."

Here it was again, constantly reminded of her supposed status as a daughter-in-law, Jiang An felt a surge of helplessness.

But before she could object, she heard the child hugging her sternly reply: "Mommy said, because sister didn’t marry uncle, Yanyan doesn’t need to call her Auntie."

The child’s innocent words caught the attention of the adults around, who looked over curiously.

Hearing Yanyan’s objection, Jiang An couldn’t help but smile, pleased to be spared the need for correction.

Shen Mei, ready to admonish her grandson, suddenly heard him continue, "Sister is not Auntie. When Yanyan grows up, he’s going to marry sister and make her his wife."

With those words, laughter erupted among the adults present, and even Jiang An and Shen Mei couldn’t help but be amused.

This kid is really something else.

However, Gao Chuan, who had been standing behind Jiang An, didn’t look so pleased upon hearing this. His dark eyes suddenly flashed a hint of chilliness while looking at Gao Yan who was still tightly hugging Jiang An’s legs.

No matter how much you guard against outsiders, it’s the hardest to guard against a ’thief’ within your own home. He had never imagined that his biggest love rival would turn out to be this little brat from his own family.

Just as everyone was about to tease Gao Yan for his innocent remarks, the man with a low air pressure suddenly stepped forward and forcibly pulled the little boy away from Jiang An.

Before Jiang An and the others could react, they saw Gao Chuan holding the little boy by his soft cheeks, "You little rascal, that’s not how you play tricks on your uncle."

Not using much force, the man’s hands still changed the shape of Gao Yan’s chubby face. The little boy struggled vainly, "Uncle, you’re so old, Sister won’t like you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of onlookers laughed even harder at the sight of the big and small ones showing their jealousy.

This kid really doesn’t take the hint until he sees his own coffin.

Seeing this, the man frowned and lifted the little boy entirely off his feet, suspending him in air, while the youngster cried out, "Waah waah."

Gao Chuan looked down at the little boy begging for mercy and curved his lips into a slight smile, feigning a lesson, "Still dare to spout nonsense, huh?"

At such a young age, instead of learning good things, he had the gall to covet his woman. He had to be taught a lesson.

Ultimately no match for Gao Chuan’s towering stature, the little boy was close to squeezing out tears, continuously begging, "Uncle, please put me down, I won’t dare again."

"Put Yanyan down right now!" Shen Mei, seeing the uncle and nephew making a scene in front of relatives, ordered sharply.

Only then did Gao Chuan slowly put the little boy down and watched as the little one stood firm, glaring at him with resentment. Instead of comforting him, Gao Chuan turned around, wrapped his arms around Jiang An’s slim waist, and pulled her tightly into his embrace, declaring his rights in front of Gao Yan, "Look carefully, Sister is my girlfriend now."

Jiang An was pressed against the man’s tall body, raising her head to look at the man’s mischievous face, and paused for a few seconds.

"Uncle, you’re a bully!" The little boy, being teased like this and seeing Jiang An taken away by Gao Chuan, pouted unhappily.

In the end, it was Wanwan who came over and soothed the little boy, who was about to cry, putting an end to this "farce."

Jiang An, watching Wanwan take Gao Yan back to the room, also wanted to follow, but realized that the man was still tightly holding her shoulders. She looked up at him, his eyes full of a chilling intensity, and said with a mixed expression of amusement and exasperation, "Are you being childish?"

It was just a child’s innocent remark, and everyone took it as a joke, yet he took it seriously?

With that level of intelligence, how does he manage a company?

Jiang An looked at him with disdain and tried to remove his hand from her shoulder.

Gao Chuan looked down at her irritated expression and didn’t let go, leaning in close to her ear and murmuring softly.

"For you, I don’t mind being childish."

His low voice, along with the warm breath, spread into Jiang An’s ear, sending a current through her body.

The woman looked up, her face flushed red like cherry blossoms in spring, staring at the man in astonishment.
