Chapter 161 Are You Willing to Watch Her Marry Soone Else?
Wei Yan had been inviting Jiang An for a al previously, but unfortunately, she had been too busy at the hospital to spare any ti. Today, they finally managed to sit down and have a good chat.
The man asked Jiang An many questions about her work in the hospital, politely cut a steak and pushed it in front of Jiang An, and listened as she ntioned that although work at the hospital was busy, it was also fulfilling. He advised her not to overwork herself.
"What has Brother Wei Yan been busy with lately?" Jiang An asked after taking a few bites of her salad.
"Nothing much, just so projects in the company," Wei Yan responded, and seed to think of sothing before looking up and asking, "Do you have any free ti coming up?"
Jiang An was just taking a bite of steak when she heard Wei Yan’s question and replied sowhat surprised, "What’s up?"
"It’s nothing big, there’s possibly a project coming up in Z city and you ntioned before that you’ve wanted to go back, right? If you’re free, I could take you back for a visit." The man continued cutting his steak with his knife and fork, not daring to look directly into Jiang An’s eyes.
Jiang An felt a slight flicker in her eyes when he ntioned Z city. She indeed wanted to find an opportunity to go back and visit, but the workload at the hospital right now really made it hard for her to leave.
She had to decline in the end, and Wei Yan seed to have expected her response, so he didn’t say much.
During the al, the man paused several tis as if wanting to say sothing. He wanted to ask about Jiang An and Gao Chuan, but recalling that last ti in the hospital, she had expressed her desire to resolve her marriage issues herself, he did not pry any further.
He assud she must have her own plans, and ddling further might upset Jiang An, so he chose to remain silent.
During the al, Jiang An talked about many interesting incidents that happened during her internship at the hospital. The man occasionally looked up at the girl who was enjoying her storytelling and patiently listened while peeling crayfish for Jiang An.
Even if they could never be lovers, being a brother-like figure by her side was a pleasant thing after all.
After all, many years ago, he had already regarded Fang Qing and Jiang An as his own family.
It was nearly one o’clock when they finished their al and prepared to leave. Wei Yan had to attend another eting later and couldn’t escort Jiang An back. Holding an umbrella, he escorted Jiang An to the downstairs of the restaurant. It was still drizzling outside, the sun hidden beneath the overcast clouds.
Helping the girl, he hailed a taxi for her. Before Jiang An got in, Wei Yan took the opportunity to ask if there was anything she would want him to bring back from Z city that he could help with. Upon hearing this, Jiang An’s round face lifted into a slight smile.
"Really? Then I would like osmanthus cake, crayfish..."
Watching the girl list a bunch of local delicacies from Z city with a joyful face, the man holding the umbrella suddenly smiled, and while she was still counting with her head down, he suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it on top of Jiang An’s head.
It seed he also realized his action was a bit abrupt; he continued to gently stroke her head a few more tis. With an indulgent gaze spilling from his eyes, he playfully scolded, "You, all you think about is eating."
Jiang An, focused only on the thoughts of hotown delicacies, didn’t pay much attention to Wei Yan’s slightly stiff movent, feeling how long it had been since she had last enjoyed them.
Wei Yan’s eyes softened, he asked her to make a list and send it to him via WeChat, and he would bring them back for her.
Until she got into the car, Jiang An still looked gratefully at the man outside the window as if she was looking at a savior.
She had indeed been away from her hotown for too many years, and although Jing City also had those things, none were authentic. Today, Brother Wei Yan’s words sparked her interest to return ho even more.
She decided to go back during the next long holiday, the girl confird her thoughts as she sat in the car.
Wei Yan, left far behind by the car, still stood in place, watching the taxi turn a corner and disappear from sight, the black umbrella in hand, he gently tugged at the corner of his mouth thinking of Jiang An’s greedy little kitten expression.
The man turned around to walk back to the restaurant, but had barely taken two steps when he suddenly heard a woman’s voice from behind, "Sir, wait a mont."
Wei Yan turned around upon hearing the voice and saw a woman, braving the rain running towards him, wearing a blue wool sweater skirt, covering her head with a bag against the drizzle.
Wei Yan stopped in his tracks and stood, watching the woman hurriedly stopping in front of him, sowhat confused he asked: "Who are you?"
Song Xin looked at the man in a suit and leather shoes as he turned around, his face distinguished, below a pair of heroic eyebrows were set a pair of bright black eyes, his waist tall and slim, looking no less than Gao Chuan.
Jiang An actually knows such a man, she had not seen any information about this man in the previous records, suspicion rose on Song Xin’s face.
Finally standing in front of the man, Song Xin did not directly reveal her identity, "Who I am doesn’t matter, sir, you like Jiang An, don’t you?"
Hearing her ntion Jiang An and even directly saying he liked Jiang An, Wei Yan’s face suddenly darkened, guessing the woman’s identity in his mind.
Song Xin watched as the man’s expression beca severe and froze in place, she hooked her lips up and smiled, "Are you really willing to just watch Jiang An marry soone else?"
Although the rain wasn’t heavy, it still fell sparsely on the woman’s fair face, Song Xin looked up and t the proud man’s gaze, noticing his reaction upon hearing Jiang An’s na.
He undoubtedly loved Jiang An.
But Wei Yan was not the kind of person who would easily be led by the nose by others, he looked down at the woman in front of him and coldly questioned: "Do you know Jiang An?"
Song Xin nodded, softly saying: "It’s not just an acquaintance, if you truly care about her, I think we need to sit down and talk."
This unclear woman suddenly appeared, directly revealing his feelings for Jiang An, he had never seen her before, she must be a friend of Jiang An’s.
Wei Yan pondered upon hearing the woman wanting to talk with himself and suddenly his lips curled up into a cold smile, sarcastically turning his head to look at the woman standing in the rain, "Why should I sit down to talk with a stranger?"
Besides, he had social engagents in just a while.
Seeing the man in front of her, unmoved and preparing to leave, Song Xin blurted out anxiously: "What if I said I could help you win back Jiang An?"
As her words fell, the surrounding rain sounded a bit noisy, the man froze in astonishnt, and when he looked up again he didn’t know when Song Xin had already run in front of him, continuing to persist, "Don’t you want to know why Jiang An and Gao Chuan are getting married?"
The man under the umbrella flashed a mont of confusion in his handso face, and after a long ti, he laughed at himself mockingly.
Win her back? How could he win her back? One might retrieve a person, but can the heart be retrieved?
