Chapter 43 - 42 Now She is His Wife
After a busy day at work, Gao Chuan, exhausted, returned home, thinking Jiang An would be staying at school again. The man changed his shoes at the entrance and irritably adjusted his tie before dropping himself onto the sofa.
Troublesome patients, Wei Yan’s barrage of questions, and the mess at home—it seemed he was always dealing with these recurring issues. The man slightly closed his eyelids, intending to take a brief nap on the sofa, but before he could settle down, he was startled by the sudden sound of breathing approaching him. He opened his eyes abruptly and Jiang An’s oval-shaped little face appeared before him.
The girl squatted beside the sofa and leaned in, staring at his face with curiosity, asking, "Dr. Gao, did you fall asleep?"
Their faces were suddenly so close, the enlarged visages startling them both. Once Jiang An realized Gao Chuan had opened his eyes, she immediately backed away, straightened up, and said, "Sorry Dr. Gao, I thought you were asleep."
Gao Chuan slowly sat up from the sofa, noticed the girl in front of him wearing a pink apron, her eyes slightly sparkling, and responded softly, "No."
Turning around, the girl still held a small kitchen spatula and cheerfully said to him, "Then go wash your hands and get ready for dinner, I’ve made supper."
Looking at the girl’s pure face in front of him, Gao Chuan was slightly astounded. Her lovely image reflected in his dark pupils, his heart seemed to be suddenly overwhelmed by her smile. He nodded in surprise, his hoarse voice murmuring, "Okay."
Regardless of what the future held, at least for now, she was his wife.
She was his, he thought.
