Chapter 112 - 111: Dress Warmer as It Gets Colder
Chapter 111: Wear More Clothes When It’s Cold
Gao Chuan had been busy with hospital affairs and did not show up until late in the evening. Jiang An stayed at the Gao Family’s house for dinner and helped clean up before rushing back, coincidentally just as Gao Chuan was getting off work. The man, probably exhausted from performing surgeries all day, asked Jiang An a few questions about Shen Mei’s birthday party earlier in the day.
Jiang An happily shared with the man how Ji Wanwan and Shen Mei had reconciled, and Gao Chuan simply nodded in response before heading to the bathroom to take a shower.
Jiang An also went back to her room to take a shower. As she opened the closet to get her pajamas, she suddenly remembered what Xia Zi had said to her yesterday. Although she had firmly refused on the surface, her heart was wavering.
If it was really as Xia Zi had said, that their current awkward atmosphere was because they hadn’t been honest with each other, then she might as well give it a try.
Xia Zi’s words from yesterday flooded into her mind: "Think about it, why hasn’t Dr. Gao touched you for more than a month? Could it be because he only kissed you when he was drunk and thought about taking responsibility? If that’s the only reason, naturally he wouldn’t touch you again. But if he truly likes you and wants to continue living with you, he wouldn’t shy away."
The girl lingered beside the closet for a while, then recalled the pajamas Shen Mei had given her, which she thought she would never wear. But now, as if possessed, she dug them out. Jiang An took out a black lace negligee and blushed as she walked into the bathroom.
After the shower, the girl struggled mentally for a long time before she dared to leave her bedroom. Gao Chuan, who had showered some time ago, was sitting on the sofa looking at his laptop dealing with documents. Jiang An timidly approached the kitchen, took some freshly bought fruits from the fridge, cut them up, and prepared to bring them to the man.
Jiang An had not realized how revealing this nightgown was. The sheer fabric, perhaps a size too small, barely reached her thighs. She was grateful that the air conditioning in the room was set high; otherwise, she might have frozen to death.
Dr. Gao was still checking his emails on the laptop, a faint scent of jasmine entering his nose. The man slightly lifted his head to see Jiang An placing a plate of cut fruits in front of him. There she was, wearing a black lace hollow-out negligee, her neck’s skin soft as curdled cream, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, and slender lace-clad legs revealing tender pink skin. As she slightly bent over, the man’s eyes caught a glimpse of her cleavage.
"Will you be busy for much longer?" Jiang An put down the fruit, noticing the man’s gaze, and said with an embarrassed face.
