Chapter 33 - 32 She Is Really Likable
The following day, Shen Mei called to invite the couple back to the Gao Family home for a meal. Now that Gao Chuan’s stomach had recovered, he drove with Jiang An back home. As soon as they stepped through the door, the golden retriever dashed over from some hidden corner. However, its eager affection was still reserved for little Jiang An. The pup suddenly sprang up, nearly causing Jiang An to tumble, but Gao Chuan steadied him from behind with a quick lift of his hand.
"Yiyi, don’t be so rowdy," Jiang An said, indulgently stroking the golden retriever’s ears.
Gao Chuan, who had been standing by and watching the affectionate interaction between the man and the dog, was slightly surprised upon hearing the name "Yiyi" from Jiang An’s lips. However, he didn’t delve into it and simply warned Jiang An to be careful before they both proceeded inside.
Upon seeing the two arrive, Shen Mei quickly came over and looped her arm through Jiang An’s, leading him toward the bedroom while muttering about wanting to discuss the new makeup set they had bought the day before. Gao Chuan, who had been neglected for nearly a week due to the business trip, watched them with a hint of suspicion, wondering why the relationship between his brother Gao Yu’s wife and Shen Mei was almost non-existent, yet with Jiang An, it was as if she were her own daughter. Before Gao Chuan even had a chance to sit down on the sofa, Gao Lin called him to the study.
Just like the last time, Gao Lin offered several suggestions regarding their marriage. After a lengthy monologue, he pulled out a red gift box from a drawer and placed it on the table, his expression still stern: "I know you went on a business trip and didn’t bring back anything for your wife. When you go back, give her this necklace to make up for it."
The man’s gaze fell on the gift box on the table, and a cold glint shone in his dark eyes as he asked, "Why can’t you just give it to her yourself? Why must it go through me?" Though he spoke in protest, he accepted the gift, well aware that whether it was from him or anyone from the Gao Family, Jiang An would quietly put it away in the drawer in her room and only remember to wear it when visiting the Gao Family’s home.
In this play, Jiang An was indeed a flawless partner.
Gao Lin expressed dissatisfaction upon hearing what Gao Chuan said and began to nag, "That girl married into the Gao Family without asking for a dime. We must not let her suffer any grievances. In a while, take some time off to take Anan out for a trip to relax. Your mother and I will cover the expenses."
Gao Chuan responded with a vague tease as usual. Just as he was about to leave the study, Gao Lin stopped him and asked, "Anan came with you today, right?"
