Chapter 22 - 21 Jiang An is a Chatterbox
Gao Chuan walked into his original room and found that Shen Mei had decorated it at some point. A double bed was covered with bright red sheets, and two sets of sleepwear were placed on top. He bowed his head and saw the black lace nightgown Ms. Shen had meticulously prepared for Jiang An, his face suddenly blushing, he sat down on the soft bed, holding his forehead. The dim light shone on the man, his expression inscrutable.
Old Mrs. Shen’s little tricks were clear at a glance to him, but it was different for the simple-minded Jiang An. Shen Mei had forcefully engaged her in conversation for two hours, listening to her tales of Gao Chuan’s childhood was surprisingly interesting. Jiang An thought she would sleep with Shen Mei tonight, but as if Ms. Shen had timed it perfectly, she looked up at the vintage wall clock and gently said, "Anan, that’s enough for today, it’s getting late, you should go get some rest too!"
"Ah, okay." Jiang An blushed when she heard Ms. Shen personally say that a room had been prepared for the two, she followed the direction indicated and came to the entrance of Gao Chuan’s room. As Jiang An tiptoed in, the man dressed in a white robe was sitting on the bed, reading under the faint light, he lazily shifted his gaze upon noticing Jiang An.
"Dr. Gao is still up!" Jiang An walked in awkwardly, her hands behind her back, seeing Gao Chuan looking at her in the darkness.
Gao Chuan put down the book in his hand and turned on the main light in the bedroom. The Spanish chandelier emitted circles of dazzling fluorescence, revealing the face of the other person in the room so clearly, "Go wash up and sleep, I’ve put your pajamas in the bathroom."
"We... are going to sleep together?" Jiang An looked around, her original thought was that Dr. Gao’s room would have a single person couch or that she could sleep on the floor, but seeing that Gao Chuan had deliberately left a space next to him, a mischievous thought popped into her head, they were to share a bed?
Gao Chuan, who had already been quite tired, had been waiting until now. Hearing Jiang An ask that question, he responded wearily, "Let’s just make do for tonight."
Jiang An nodded woodenly and dashed into the bathroom, her face flushing the next second when she saw the sleepwear hanging on the rack. This sensual style was clearly prepared by Shen Mei, Jiang An finally understood why Shen Mei had insisted she stay the night. She blushed at the thought, no wonder Dr. Gao wanted to leave early, it was her own naivety being played.
The sound of water running came from the bathroom, and Gao Chuan picked up the book he had been reading, trying to continue, but his thoughts couldn’t concentrate on the words. The man struggled for a while and eventually closed the book and put it back on the table.
