Chapter 225 - 221: Overreaching Oneself
Chapter 221 Outsmarting Herself
Jiang An was dragged all the way out of the art exhibition by the person in front of her, and it wasn’t until she finally came to her senses that she tried to forcefully shake off the man’s hand but was still harshly pulled along.
"Dr. Gao, let me go!" she called out softly from behind.
Her faint voice fell into his ears, but Gao Chuan showed no sign of stopping. Ignoring the gazes of people around him, he pulled her straight to a deserted corner outside the venue.
He himself didn’t know what kind of emotions drove him to chase Jiang An here. Just now, when he saw Jiang An gazing from afar at the man being interviewed in the crowd, he almost couldn’t suppress the fury in his heart and dashed over in an arrow step.
"Dr. Gao, let me go, you’re hurting me!" Forced to keep up with the man’s rapid pace, Jiang An’s wrist was already sore from being yanked.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to feel. In theory, Gu Yi was her arranged date, and seeing him with another woman, she should feel upset, yet the emotions that should have come didn’t appear. At that moment, she only stood there stunned, her mind blank, never expecting Gao Chuan to suddenly rush over and pull her away from the crowd.
It wasn’t long before the man finally stopped, released Jiang An’s reddened wrist, and forcefully backed her against the cold wall behind her. His dark pupils emitted a chilling sharpness, and without discerning right from wrong, he bellowed at her: "Jiang An, are you stupid? What are you still standing there for?"
Jiang An was still looking down at the spot that Gao Chuan had reddened, and when she heard the words that spilled from the man’s thin lips, she suddenly raised her head and met his fierce gaze, and for some reason the emotions that had been missing earlier suddenly choked her chest.
"Yes, I am stupid. Are you satisfied seeing me being played by someone else?" Jiang An fearlessly met the man’s penetrating gaze, confronting him without showing any weakness.
Gao Chuan looked down at the woman’s resistant demeanor, his hands gripping Jiang An’s frail shoulders, and the jealousy that had been accumulating over the past few days broke through the last line of defense as he coldly questioned: "Is that how much you want to leave me to find another man?"
