Chapter 174 - 170: Celebrating Gao Chuan’s Birthday
Chapter 170 Celebrating Dr. Gao’s Birthday
Song Xin didn’t return to the office until the afternoon. Jiang An carried on with her tasks as usual, as if nothing had happened, and the awkward moment from the morning went unmentioned between them.
In the afternoon, just before closing time, Song Xin took Jiang An with her on rounds. Jiang An was responsible for recording the recovery of the patients as they walked behind Song Xin. The pair, one in front of the other, stepped out from the ward as Song Xin began to explain the patient conditions that needed extra attention in the coming days.
The girl followed closely behind, listening intently. Almost at the end of the briefing, Jiang An planned to leave but Song Xin stopped her. The woman slid her hands into the pockets of her white lab coat, eyes landing on Jiang An, "By the way, Jiang An, you know that Gao Chuan has his birthday this Sunday, right?"
At the sound of her words, Jiang An’s steps faltered and she turned back to look at Song Xin, who wore a placid smile. A sudden jolt hit Jiang An’s heart.
Song Xin saw her bewildered expression and a smile with an unclear meaning curved up the corners of her mouth. Without waiting for Jiang An to answer, she said directly: "Our group usually gets together for such occasions. Why don’t you come too? Gao Chuan will definitely be happy."
Since Song Xin had extended the invitation, all she could do was accept.
Jiang An turned back to her office but continued to be engrossed in thought as if someone had bewitched her, her face burning hot as if someone had slapped her.
What a lousy wife she was, not even knowing her husband’s birthday after more than half a year of marriage.
A wave of self-reproach washed over the girl, and on her way home, she sent Ji Wanwan a WeChat message.
Jiang An: Dr. Gao’s birthday is this Sunday. Dr. Song invited me to go and hang out with them.
