Chapter 64 Jiang An is Dr. Gao’s Treasure
The sky was dim, the clouds rolling and drifting, without a known destination.
Jiang An looked up at Ji Wanwan who was speaking to her with an emotionless face, and inexplicably felt that the slender woman in front of her might have endured a lot of things that outsiders cannot understand. After all, the life of a star is always exposed to the public, and it must be very tiring indeed.
After a mont of thought, the girl’s clear, water-like eyes reflected the woman’s delicate profile, and it was a few seconds later before she spoke word by word, "Not at all, I really like you, sister-in-law, and there are also many fans who like you. I really enjoy watching the dramas you’re in."
Jiang thought is unsure how to express what he or she is feeling inside, and after blurting out those words, felt a bit of regret. Why is it that every ti faced with Ji Wanwan, it always seems to end up like a confession?
Initially, Ji Wanwan, who had thought showing enough coldness would scare the young girl away, turned around to see the girl’s sincere expression and montarily lost her composure. In her mory, this was the first Gao Family mber to affirm her, since she had always been a topic of discussion after als among the Gao relatives.
Ji Wanwan wanted to say sothing to shatter Jiang An’s fantasy about her but felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat. After all, no one would want to say sothing so rejecting after seeing such a pair of clear, water-like eyes.
"Sister-in-law is not a bad woman at all. Mother-in-law might have always misunderstood sister-in-law, but after really getting to know you, she will surely understand and appreciate your goodness," Jiang An said clearly and decisively. In fact, this was also what she genuinely thought. In her eyes, Ji Wanwan was perhaps soone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, just like Dr. Gao.
Ji Wanwan did not expect the young girl to speak like this, but the conflict between her and Shen i could not be resolved with just a few words. The woman curved her lips into a cold smile, her beautiful brows and eyes lifting as she glanced at Jiang An’s rounded little face, finding it inexplicably cute.
"Your little mouth is quite sweet," the woman chuckled, with a laugh that ca sincerely from the heart.
Hearing Ji Wanwan teasing her, Jiang An felt a bit flustered as she hurriedly defended herself, "Not at all, sister-in-law. I genuinely want to be friends with you." Her voice volu gradually weakened, but still clearly reached Ji Wanwan’s ears, causing the woman to slightly curl her lips, and suddenly, her heart felt a soft, tender fall.
This young girl is quite interesting.
"Hmm, I see," the woman lightly replied to the girl’s request without committing either way.
Perhaps it was at this mont that Ji Wanwan had sowhat removed the label of "Gao Family" from Jiang An.
On the other side, Gao Chuan and Gao Yu were sitting in the living room sipping tea together. The brothers, both busy with work, rarely had the chance to see each other, so naturally, they had a lot to catch up on when they finally t at grandma’s house.
Gao Yu first asked about grandma’s condition. Gao Chuan took a light sip of tea and simply ntioned that grandma’s second round of chemotherapy would start at the end of the month, without going into further specifics.
Cancer, late stage. Now, the only thing left to do was to accept destiny and do our human best.
As an outsider in matters of dical conditions, Gao Yu naturally did not understand as much as Gao Chuan and could only sigh softly, "Ah, we should co back more often to keep grandma company."
In terms of keeping the elderly company, he and Gao Chuan were on equal terms. As the man was reflecting, his gaze was suddenly drawn to the two won standing side by side in the courtyard – he was surprised to see Ji Wanwan and Jiang An engaged in conversation and quirked his lips in amusent.
He knew that Ji Wanwan had always rejected the Gao Family mbers, so it would be a good thing if she could beco friends with Jiang An.
"Is Jiang An’s injury alright? Just the other day, I was thinking of visiting with Wanwan."
The man’s expression remained calm as he answered indifferently, "It’s nothing."
Gao Yu, watching the two won conversing from afar, a hint of joy crossing his face, asked, "Where on earth did you find such a treasure, suddenly thinking of getting married?"
This question had been weighing on his mind for quite so ti, but he never had the opportunity to ask. It always felt like there was sothing magical about Jiang An, this young girl, that made her so likable.
Listening to Gao Yu’s words which did not lack affirmation of Jiang An, Gao Chuan followed his gaze. Under the dim sky, Jiang An seed to be chatting with Ji Wanwan, her face brimming with smiles, and a warm current surged in his heart.
Indeed, she was the treasure he had found.
"When fate arrives, it naturally leads to marriage." The man picked up the teapot from the table, pouring himself another small cup. Whenever people asked, he would answer in this way; over ti, it almost gave him the illusion that he and Jiang An were truly a perfect match who got married.
Gao Yu looked closely at Gao Chuan’s expression, and it was indeed not hard to see so changes in his younger brother who had always been a lone figure since getting married, "That’s good. I was just worried you might have lured the young girl here to deceive grandma."
Hearing Gao Yu say this made Gao Chuan freeze for a mont, but his expression quickly relaxed, and he did not respond. After all, from the current point of view, what Gao Yu said was true.
"Jiang An is a good girl, treat her well." As the older brother, Gao Yu naturally hoped his younger brother could have a happy marriage and not end up like himself.
"Did you have a fight with Ji Wanwan?" Seeing the despondent look in Gao Yu’s eyes, Gao Chuan, recalling the couple’s estranged behavior in front of grandma that morning, speculated.
Gao Yu frowned, a troubled look on his face, complaining, "Isn’t it all about having children? We’ve argued countless tis over it, and you know all too well how much our dear can make a fuss. Not like Jiang An, who’s always so good."
Gao Chuan had not expected that one day Gao Yu would be envious of his marital status. But it was true what he said about Jiang An being obedient; since their marriage, they had hardly had any argunts. Upon closer consideration, it was evident that Jiang An was utterly compliant with him.
This was indeed unusual for a married couple.
"Then just have one yourself. Mom is anxious about it anyway." Indifferent to the personal matter, Gao Chuan made a casual remark.
Gao Yu rubbed his temples, sighing, "If only it were that easy. My wife flat out refuses. You better hurry up and have one with Jiang An, to save our mom from nagging endlessly."
Gao Yu was approaching middle age and naturally wanted to have children, though this was not sothing one person could decide alone. In comparison, Doctor Gao was in a different position; with his and Jiang An’s marriage being one of convenience, how could they possibly have children?
When it ca to having children, the brothers were exceedingly polite to each other.
Having heard too much from others on the subject, Gao Chuan, out of annoyance, had been forced to give the matter more thought. In fact, a few days before, he had a dream where he beca a new father, walking on lush green grass with a woman of a graceful silhouette and a three or four-year-old child in tow.
He rembered that when the woman turned around, he was finally able to see her face.
It was Jiang An.
