Chapter 70 - 69 Dr. Gao is a Bachelor
Marriage is a fortress besieged; those outside want to get in, and those inside want to get out. — "City"
The car sped all the way, Z city truly deserved its reputation as a tourist city, as the receding landscape reflected in Jiang An’s rippling eyes, patches of greenery flashing by fleetingly.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..." Song Li called out several times before he managed to bring the daydreaming Jiang An back to reality. The girl hastily turned her head and responded, looking rather dazed and silly.
Song Li had not expected that his chat would dumbfound someone. Worried that Jiang An might overthink, he quickly explained, "Sister-in-law, don’t get the wrong idea. Your Dr. Gao is not the type who likes to mess around. He’s usually just busy with work at the hospital and the lab stuff. We can hardly get him to come out with us."
Feeling that he might have said too much, Song Li became a bit incoherent, fearful that Jiang An might mistakenly think of Gao Chuan as a philandering man, and if Gao Chuan found out about this, it might spell trouble for him.
"It’s fine, I know." Jiang An said with a smile, her hands on her knees. She had been acquainted with Gao Chuan long enough to be fairly clear about his basic temperament. If Dr. Gao had indeed been the unfaithful type, she would not have agreed to this marriage.
Sitting next to her driving, Song Li heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing her say this. The car then took another turn down a street and after a short drive, they arrived at the restaurant they had arranged to meet at. After turning off the engine, the man promptly got out of the car and, like a gentleman, opened the door for Jiang An.
Jiang An smiled and said, "Thank you," and the two of them walked into the restaurant side by side.
This time, Song Li chose a time-honored Chinese restaurant, probably because he had learned ahead of time that Jiang An was from the south, and he had specifically selected a table full of Jiangnan dishes. It could be that Jiang An had not eaten authentic hometown food for a long time, so her appetite was greatly aroused.
