Chapter 90: Chapter 89 Goodnight, Mrs. Gao

Chapter 89 Goodnight, Mrs. Gao

Shen Mei had been chatting in the living room until nine-thirty, yet the girl showed no signs of sleepiness and was urged by Shen Mei to hurry back to her room to sleep. Jiang An hesitated a little but complied and walked into Gao Chuan’s bedroom, which was empty at the time. She guessed that Gao Chuan was probably still in the study dealing with some matters, so she went into the bathroom to shower.

Unable to stop, Shen Mei finished urging at one place and then voluntarily carried a fruit tray into the study. Seeing Gao Chuan bent over his books, she smiled benevolently and considerately placed the fruits beside him, craning her neck to glance at the pages he was flipping through.

"It’s so late, why aren’t you sleeping yet?" Ms. Shen cut straight to the chase.

Gao Chuan, fully aware of her purpose for this visit, simply did not take her bait and replied lightly: "I’ll sleep after finishing reading."

Shen Mei naturally expressed her dissatisfaction and persuaded him: "Oh come on, it’s so late. Hurry back to sleep, you can continue reading tomorrow."

"I know, Mom. Please go back and sleep yourself," Gao Chuan glanced at his watch, seeing it was only nine-thirty, and his tone carried a hint of impatience.

Shen Mei, who intended to keep the conversation light, suddenly frowned upon seeing Gao Chuan’s attitude and bluntly questioned: "Tell me the truth, have you and Jiang An been sleeping in separate rooms since your marriage?"

His heart skipped a beat, yet his expression remained unchanged.

As he had guessed, those few people last night must have gossiped in front of Shen Mei, prompting her sudden "investigation."

"Who told you that?" Gao Chuan countered, not looking for an excuse, but instead asking a question.

Shen Mei, looking at his indifferent expression, crossed her arms, "It doesn’t matter who said it. I can understand that marrying Anan suddenly requires some time to adapt, but it’s been two months since you got married; you can’t keep sleeping in separate rooms!"

Heard this, Gao Chuan stopped the motion of holding his pen. Without blinking, he lied, "Don’t listen to their nonsense; it was just some people joking around and playing games last night."

Still skeptical about the man’s explanation, Shen Mei earnestly advised him again, to the point where Gao Chuan felt his ears could sprout calluses. The man silently closed the book in his hand, "Alright, alright, I’m going to sleep. You should sleep early too."

Shen Mei watched his silhouette exiting the study with only a reluctantly satisfied expression, slowly stepping out of the room herself.

When Gao Chuan returned to the bedroom, Jiang An was still in the bathroom showering. He looked at the distinctly arranged bedding setup by Jiang An and slightly curled his lips, lying on one side and began browsing recent news on his mobile phone. With gold-rimmed glasses on, the angular features on his face were softened by the warm orange light.

After opening Weibo and habitually clicking into Jiang An’s personal page, he noticed she hadn’t updated Weibo for a long time. The most recent post was about the joy of passing her thesis.

His finger lightly slid across, opening a medical article to read.

Finally, after finishing her shower, Jiang An turned off the showerhead above and grabbed a white towel to dry off her body. She habitually reached for her pajamas and then realized, embarrassed, that she had taken her bedding and pillow but forgot her pajamas. The girl hesitated for a moment, thinking it was unlikely that Dr. Gao would come to sleep at this time, so she wrapped the towel around her modestly covering herself. Fresh out of the shower, her skin was flawless, her legs as slender and long as two lotus roots.

When she tentatively pushed the door to come out, she looked up to see Gao Chuan already sitting by the bed and abruptly retreated back, the sound catching Gao Chuan’s attention as he slightly lifted his head to look.

The next second, the bathroom door cracked open, and Anan’s delicate voice came out, "Dr. Gao... I forgot to bring my pajamas, can you help me find a piece of clothing?"

Hearing this, Gao Chuan got off the bed, picked one of his shirts from the wardrobe, and as he approached the bathroom door, he noticed a fair little hand reaching out to take the shirt. Gao Chuan’s lips curved slightly as he handed over the shirt, hearing Jiang An quickly say "Thank you" before she shut the bathroom door.

Gao Chuan, wearing a smile, shook his head helplessly and went back to the bed. Later, Anan dressed in the shirt emerged from the bathroom, and his gaze shifted towards her. The large shirt on Jiang An’s small frame hung loose, barely reaching her thighs, revealing her slender lower legs.

His Adam’s apple moved subtly, and he turned his head away, shifting his attention back to his phone screen.

By then, Jiang An’s face was flushed, feeling awkwardly overexposed as if she had been seen through by him despite wearing his shirt. She let down her hair, which was hastily tied up earlier, and asked softly: "Dr. Gao, do you have a hairdryer?"

God knows how long she had carefully scoured the bathroom before she mustered the courage to come out.

Gao Chuan responded with a "yes", got out of bed, took the hairdryer from the cupboard, and personally walked over to help Jiang An plug it into the wall socket. The girl followed him, and Gao Chuan invited her to sit down, clearly intending to dry her hair himself.

The girl sat down on the chair shyly, obediently nodding her head, feeling the man’s fingers gently moving through her hair, the warm air hitting her scalp, his movements so tender it made her sink into them.

Gao Chuan had never blow-dried a woman’s hair before, he was extra careful not to hurt Jiang An, his eyes focused on each strand of hair lifted by the blow-dryer, his dark pupils radiating a soft light.

The girl, feeling the man’s gentle comfort, slowly closed her eyes.

Five minutes later, the man turned off the hairdryer and simply said, "Alright."

Jiang An, hearing the voice coming from behind her, bashfully nodded, reached out to touch her hair, found it nearly half-dry, and said with slightly blushed cheeks, "Thank you."

Then the two of them lay down in bed, one after the other. Although they had shared the same bed and slept together many times before, this time Jiang An could clearly feel her heart beating frighteningly fast, the events of the day replaying in her mind like a movie.

So, were they now... together?

The girl thought for a long time. Gao Chuan, who had just finished the article he was reading, turned off his phone, placed his gold-rimmed glasses on the bedside table, glanced at the girl who was tucked under the blanket staring at the ceiling, and then pressed the switch beside the bed, plunging the room into darkness.

"What are you thinking about?" Gao Chuan asked the girl beside him after lying down.

Jiang An blinked, turning her head to look at Dr. Gao, who was already lying next to her in the darkness, unable to see the expression on his face.

After a long pause, the girl slowly said, "Dr. Gao, are we now... boyfriend and girlfriend?"

After asking, Jiang An felt like a fool, but she really wanted to confirm, to confirm whether Dr. Gao’s "let’s give it a try" really counted.

The man, hearing this sudden question from the girl, pondered for a few seconds, then denied it: "Jiang An, you are my wife."

Jiang An, still waiting for an answer, felt her face suddenly flush, her throat seemed blocked and she couldn’t say anything.

The girl slightly parted her lips, a smile blossoming on her face.

Yes, she was his wife.

Gao Chuan, worried that Jiang An was overthinking again as she became silent, wondered whether he should say something more when he suddenly felt the person beside him lean over and place a light kiss on his cheek, then quickly retreat.

The man was momentarily startled, and the next moment he heard Jiang An whisper, "Mr. Gao, good night."

His gaze slightly shifted, only to see Jiang An’s back.

Jiang An’s kiss was sudden, as if only the warm and moist touch lingering on half of his cheek could prove that the girl’s action had occurred.

In the darkness, the corners of the man’s lips slightly curved upward.

"Good night, Mrs. Gao."
