Chapter 173: Rubbing Salt into Gao Chuan’s Wounds
Jiang An followed Song Li out of the club at past nine in the evening. She was already thinly dressed that day, and she had caught a cold in the afternoon after running a long distance to pick up a cake. As soon as she got in the car, she sneezed.
Song Li, seated in the driver’s seat, turned on the car’s heating system upon seeing this, and said to Jiang An, "Sister-in-law, let’s go."
Jiang An sniffled and nodded with a soft "Mhm."
The dark night intertwined with rain, neon lights flashing all the way. Neither of them spoke a word, the only sound was the windshield wipers swaying left and right.
Sitting in the back, Jiang An turned to look at the raindrops sliding down the car window along with the intricate patterns, a touch of desolation emerged within her apricot-shaped eyes, as if she got something in her eyes and suddenly, an aching sourness hit her.
She had clearly been sitting by Gao Chuan’s side that evening, yet the man hadn’t uttered a single word to her.
To this day, she still had no idea what she had done wrong that the man would give her such a cold look.
As Song Li drove, turning the steering wheel while glancing at the girl’s downhearted expression through the rearview mirror, he let out a soft sigh.
Speaking of this couple, they were indeed strange. It could have been excused if it was just a fake marriage, but now that they had decided to take their pretend play seriously and live a good life together, many things still felt like they were between strangers.
Earlier in the private room, upon seeing the cake on the table, he knew that Jiang An was completely unaware of the background behind Gao Chuan’s birthday, perhaps the girl was wholeheartedly planning a birthday surprise for him in her mind!
