Did That Doctor Successfully Remarry Today? Chapter 256 - 251: Come Back Early Tonight

Chapter 251 Co Ho Early Tonight

Jiang An thought that after Gao Chuan spent a night on the sofa, he would have a sore back the next day and willingly go ho, but when she returned from work the next day, the man had already brought down the pillows and blanket from ho.

Under the pretext of staying to protect her, Jiang An was sowhat embarrassed by the sight.

Compared to the risk of an accident living alone, having such a big man with doubtful intentions at ho seed even more dangerous.

Not only that, after the previous incident, Gao Chuan began to personally pick up and drop off Jiang An every day for work. If there was sothing urgent at the company, he’d arrange for Secretary Chen to drive and escort her. Rain or shine, his bodyguard-like behavior was unmistakable.

But upon further consideration, since Du Mo’s issue hadn’t been completely resolved, why not take advantage of this and save on a month’s transportation fees? Why not indeed.

Soon, Jiang An’s birthday arrived. Woken up by an early alarm, she sleepily crawled out of bed and saw the birthday wishes from a few friends sent last night on her phone. While putting on slippers, she typed her replies.

Coming out of the bedroom, it was no surprise to see Gao Chuan already dressed in the living room. It seed Jiang An had beco accustod to seeing him early in the morning, simply ignoring the man as she entered the bathroom.

After freshening up, Gao Chuan had bought breakfast, and they both had a quick al before heading downstairs as usual.

Secretary Chen was already waiting downstairs on ti, and as they exited the building one after the other, he smiled and opened the back car door for Jiang An.

The old routine was to first drop Jiang An off at the hospital, and as always, the car was filled with silence.

Halfway through the ride, Jiang An received a call from her uncle in Lin City. Right after she pressed the answer button, Fang Mo’s loud voice burst through the phone, with the boy’s clear voice resounding in the car.

"Big sis, happy birthday!"

Jiang An hurriedly lowered the volu of the phone and softly responded with a "thank you."

Before long, the phone was taken over by her uncle, who ntioned how the family had intended to fly over to celebrate her birthday, but due to a sudden matter at ho, they’d visit Jing City later. Her grandfather was also insistent on coming.

Jiang An chatted for a bit, asking about her grandfather’s health, and for a mont her voice was the only sound in the car.

After finally hanging up, the atmosphere returned to silence. Chen Mi, who was driving, looked through the rearview mirror at the two, silent once more, and with a smile said, "Ms. Jiang, happy birthday!"

Jiang An, who had been checking her phone, was caught off-guard by the man’s greeting, guessing he must have heard the conversation on the phone, and politely replied with a "thank you."

The 8 o’clock morning sun was gentle and not too harsh. The streets were already bustling with traffic.

Jiang An put away her phone and glanced out the window, while Gao Chuan beside her was holding a laptop, apparently dealing with urgent emails.

The two in the back were quite at ease, not speaking a word, making Chen Mi, who was driving, anxious, repeatedly glancing at Gao Chuan in the rearview mirror.

Weren’t you pursuing her? Shouldn’t there be so gesture for her birthday? He’d even given Gao Chuan suggestive looks a mont ago.

After less than half an hour, as the car took a turn, Gao Chuan finally closed his laptop, looked over at Jiang An who was disinterestedly admiring the scenery, and finally spoke his first words of the morning, "What ti do you get off work tonight?"

Jiang An snapped back to reality, rembering Wei Yan had organized a birthday party for her that evening, she replied, "Ah, I forgot to tell you, I have plans tonight, no need to pick up."

The man beside her sank into a brief dimness upon hearing this, absentmindedly uttering, "Oh."

Their conversation fell on Chen Mi’s ears, who was gripping the steering wheel nervously, glaring at Gao Chuan in the rearview mirror with dissatisfaction.

Co on! Can’t you at least say happy birthday?

But Gao Chuan, like a mute, remained silent after hearing Jiang An had plans for the evening.

The car soon arrived at the hospital where Jiang An worked. As usual, she said "thank you" and was about to get out when Gao Chuan grabbed her wrist. She looked back, puzzled, to hear his muffled voice inside the car.

"Co ho early tonight."

Jiang An paused, nodded her head, said "We’ll see," and got out of the car.

After she left, Gao Chuan watched Jiang An’s departing figure, his eyes lingering for a long while before he snapped back and told Chen Mi to drive.

Chen Mi, feeling like he had just experienced a heart-stopping mont, stared blankly for half a minute before restarting the car.

Muttering quietly to himself, at least there’s hope.

Though it was her birthday, work at the hospital was not smooth sailing. An unexpected complication arose during surgery, and by the ti Jiang An finished and left the operating room, she was already an hour and a half behind her usual ti off. She wearily returned to her office to change clothes before leaving to take a taxi to the restaurant Wei Yan had ntioned.

Caught in the evening rush, traffic was slow. By the ti she arrived, the sky was already dark. Following the server’s directions, she took the elevator to the top floor.

She recognized this hotel; it was where Wei Yan threw a birthday party for her when he first returned to the country.

As the elevator ascended, when it finally reached the destination, the entire floor was dark and unlit.

Jiang An, assisted by a staff mber, felt her way in the dark, and after a few steps, she heard many voices singing, "Happy birthday to you..."

In the dimness, a group of people slowly approached with a cake, the faint candlelight softly illuminating the faces of a few people in the front row.

Undoubtedly, these were all of Jiang An’s friends in Jing City. Wei Yan had indeed given her a huge surprise, even inviting Ji Wanwan and Yanyan to co.

Returning to Jing City for her birthday after four years, standing there surrounded by these people, with a cool evening breeze blowing, tears fell from woman’s eyes.

After all, she was never alone.

As the birthday song ended and the lights ca up, she saw a romantically decorated long table before her. Yanyan, the little one, had already rushed over, hugging Jiang An’s legs and sweetly wishing her "Happy birthday, big sis."

Jiang An, touched, crouched down and embraced him, the little friend placing a birthday hat atop her head. When Jiang An looked up again, her friends from earlier had gathered around, enveloping her with wishes, "Jiang An, happy birthday."
