Chapter 181: How to Coax Your Wife
Jiang An cried herself to sleep all night, and the next morning, the girl looked in the mirror to see her eyes as swollen as walnuts, leaving her no choice but to apply a layer of eyeshadow to cover it up sowhat.
Gao Chuan didn’t want Jiang An to start the morning upset and had already headed to the hospital alone while she was still sleeping.
mories of the previous night were still fresh. Jiang An was relieved she didn’t have to face Dr. Gao upon waking up. After what happened yesterday, she didn’t know how to act around him, planning to avoid Gao Chuan at the hospital as much as possible.
anwhile, the man was already seated in his office, having finished his rounds alone, scrolling through his phone. Dr. Bai, who had also arrived early, ca in at so point and, seeing Gao Chuan’s serious face absorbed in his phone, teased him by tapping the desk, "What’s with the cold face early in the morning?"
Gao Chuan looked up at the man, but without responding, lowered his head back to his phone screen.
Dr. Bai, curious, moved behind Gao Chuan and, for the first ti, saw the search engine on his phone displaying the words "how to coax your wife" in big letters and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
On hearing the noise behind him, Gao Chuan acted as if nothing had happened and quickly turned his phone face down onto the table, not realizing that Dr. Bai had already discovered his little secret and was giving him an indescribable smile.
It was hard to imagine that Gao Chuan, an unattainable man, had his monts of humbly coaxing his wife.
Standing with his hands behind his back, Dr. Bai approached Gao Chuan’s desk, mockingly said, "What? Have you made Jiang An angry?"
Gao Chuan ignored the man’s teasing, beginning to sort through the surgical reports on his desk, but the redness of his ears glaringly betrayed him.
"You’d be better off asking than searching on Baidu, I understand won best," Dr. Bai said as he watched Gao Chuan, who continued to remain unmoved, starting to guide him.
"Won like it when you give them gifts. Wait here, I’ll order a bouquet of flowers for Jiang An on your behalf." Seeing he promised to help, the man began to devise a plan, already pulling out his phone while speaking.
Silent until now, Gao Chuan suddenly cleared his throat, and after a long pause, he spoke in a deep voice, "It’s none of your business... I’ll order it myself."
Dr. Bai: "..."
Finally, he got to see what’s called stubborn resistance.
Jiang An had a surgery scheduled that morning and hadn’t slept well the night before. After powering through for several hours, she felt completely drained and wanted nothing more than to rest in her office after leaving the operating room.
As she passed the nurse’s station, she saw three or four people gathered together, chattering away. Jiang An, who usually disliked joining the crowd, intended to walk away when one of the nurses called out to her. Before she could react, she was handed a bunch of roses.
"Wow, Jiang An, keeping a secret love affair from us, bringing the romance to the hospital, aren’t we?"
"Indeed, you’ve really kept it under wraps."
"Oh, I’m so jealous!"
Surrounded by a group of noisy nurses, and listening to their baffling conversations, Jiang An looked down at the vivid red roses in her arms, a daze on her face. She turned over the card that was inserted on top, only to find no special ssage, just a simple "To my love."
Just at that mont, Gao Chuan happens to be going downstairs to the cafeteria and sees Jiang An encircled by a crowd. His gaze uncontrollably sweeps over, and Dr. Bai, walking alongside him, snaps him out of his trance with a pat on the shoulder, "Stop looking, let’s go eat!"
"Don’t worry, she will like it," the man confidently said.
The man silently withdrew his gaze and went downstairs without a word.
Hopefully.
But in reality, the man’s worries were completely unnecessary. Holding the flowers, Jiang An returned to her office and, while no one was around, she stole a sniff of the roses. It was only after seeing the WeChat ssage from Gao Chuan that morning that she learned he was the one who had sent them.
Her mood, once in the pits, soared considerably. Staring at the card, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
She thought, with annoyance at herself, that she was indeed easy to coax, satisfied with just a bunch of roses.
In the twilight of the evening, the setting sun cast streaks of light across the sky.
Once off work, Gao Chuan drove to their usual spot to wait for Jiang An. Under the wutong tree, the tall man leaned against his car, his handso face looking weary, drawing the attention of many passersby.
Before long, a figure ca walking from the other side of the street.
Jiang An walked step by step toward the man with roses in her arms, her face uncontrollably flushing red the mont she stood in front of him.
"Do you like it?" The man stood up straight, his tender words blending into the gentle spring breeze.
Jiang An nodded shyly, barely getting a chance to speak before she was abruptly drawn into the man’s embrace, his magnetic voice then resonating above her head.
"Jiang An, I’m sorry about what happened last night, I didn’t an to frighten you."
Conscious of the man’s apology, Jiang An slowly closed her eyes, the Dr. Gao before her now in stark contrast to the fierce man from the previous night.
Her heart finally settled down.
"I swear it won’t happen again, can you forgive ?" The man’s hand gently caressed her slender shoulder as he pleaded softly.
He didn’t know how to apologize for his loss of control the previous night, so all he could do was make promises to Jiang An.
He assured that such an incident would not occur again.
It was spring, and a gentle breeze played through the leaves, bringing warmth to the forehead.
Jiang An slightly lifted her head, her eyes moistened as she finally smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, the man’s furrowed brows finally relaxed, and after embracing for a while, they got into the car.
As soon as Jiang An settled into the car, Gao Chuan reached back to the rear seat to grab a square white gift box and handed it to her. The girl placed it on her lap and slowly opened it to find a pink dress inside.
Just like yesterday, it was still a pink style, but the design was different. The soft, cottony tulle was adorned with a few dazzling diamond beads, not losing out to the one she wore last night.
"I was too impulsive yesterday, this dress is to make it up to you." The man looked at the girl’s gleeful eyes and subtly averted his gaze, his voice holding a hint of assertiveness even while making an apology.
Jiang An closed the box again, feeling a warm sensation in her heart, and shyly replied, "Thank you, I really like it."
"I thought you didn’t like the way I looked in a dress." She rembered that last night Gao Chuan hadn’t given her a single glance, a layer of disappointnt clouding her eyes.
Gao Chuan, who had started the car, blurted out upon hearing her words: "No... you were very beautiful last night."
His words were the truth; perhaps no one knew that the mont he turned and saw her yesterday, his heart almost uncontrollably throbbed.
Although he sat silently throughout the event, his mind was filled with the image of Jiang An. He envisioned how he would gently caress her delicate skin and imagined the scene of her lost in his embrace.
The man noticed the slight anxiety in his voice and fell silent.
Listening to his hasty explanation, Jiang An couldn’t help but smile, covering her mouth.
So Dr. Gao looked quite adorable when he was anxious.
Noticing Jiang An’s smile, Gao Chuan cald down and continued to steer the wheel.
"Why did you suddenly decide to go to the auction?" The man voiced the question that had puzzled him since last night.
Hearing this, Jiang An shifted her gaze back from the window and answered, "My sister-in-law invited to go."
She certainly couldn’t say she had wanted to seduce him and then ended up seeing him with Song Xin for the entire evening.
The man nodded and then said, "Try to attend fewer of these kinds of gatherings in the future."
Jiang An, who was resting with closed eyes, suddenly opened her eyes upon hearing this and turned to look out the window again, her eyes dimming while obediently responding with a "Okay."
So in the end, he still didn’t want to publicize her identity, did he?
