Chapter 54 - 53 She Likes Dr. Gao
Jiang An was standing still, lost in whimsical thoughts, when the man sitting on the sofa suddenly turned his head. Seeing the sweet smile on the girl’s face and the clarity in her eyes, he abruptly remembered his audacious behavior from the afternoon. He, who had always been emotionally detached, had never thought there would come a day when he would want to take the initiative to kiss a woman, nor had he ever imagined that woman would be Jiang An.
In this marriage in name only, it seemed he was the one who truly overstepped the boundaries.
Jiang An lifted her head and met the man’s gaze. Just as she was about to walk back to her room, she suddenly heard the man’s deeply magnetic voice filling the silent living room: "Where do you want to go for fun?"
Her steps halted abruptly. Jiang An turned her gaze in surprise and found the man had already turned his head back, but the words were meant for her, the slightly hoarse timbre echoing in the air.
Jiang An was flustered for a moment. She had thought that Gao Chuan’s refusal of Shen Mei’s arrangement just now was an unspoken agreement to call off the unnecessary honeymoon. Could it be that Dr. Gao was indeed planning to take her on a honeymoon?
"The hospital probably won’t give me a long leave. I should be able to take three days off. We can find somewhere nearby to have fun." Gao Chuan didn’t continue to observe the girl’s astonished expression. He reached out to pour himself a cup of water from the teapot on the coffee table, his fair and slender fingers distinct under the bright afternoon sunshine.
Indeed, as the deputy head of the oncology department in the hospital, Gao Chuan was always busy with outpatient surgeries. One thing you couldn’t really hope for as a doctor was a vacation. At first, when he heard Gao Lin’s suggestion, he had also intended to use the excuse of work to decline. However, today, when Shen Mei suddenly made such a demand and chided him for neglecting his family, he became impulsive. He might truly want to try being a good husband.
"There’s no need, Dr. Gao. Don’t let it interfere with your work. I have a lot of papers to defend and internships to complete at school as well. Let’s forget about the honeymoon," Jiang An replied, waving her hand dismissively.
Gao Chuan didn’t expect such an answer from Jiang An. His gaze leisurely moved to the transparent glass on the table. Since the young lady had said so, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to say more. He simply responded with a noncommittal "Hmm."
