Doctor Jiang’s Beloved Sweetheart

Jiang Beiyuan: “My wife placed strict rules around the house, so I have to go back early.”

“Oh, is that so…”

Compared to her drained face last time, she now appeared much more natural and did not find it embarrassing at all to be rejected.

“Oh, yeah. There was a woman claiming to be a friend of yours sitting in your office today while wearing your white coat. After I mentioned that you don’t like others touching your personal belongings, she obediently took it off and even encouraged me to pursue you. Your friend is really amusing.”

His long brows knitted into a knot when he heard that, his face remaining impassive.

“Mrs. Jiang always tend to keep a low profile and likes to call herself my friend.”

She was astonished.

She knew that the man disliked speaking contentiously.

However, when she mentioned Yan Nian as “others,” he immediately shot back at her with her own words.

“And you’re wrong about something.”

The man smiled, but that smile was not intended for her. His eyes became gentle and warm at the mention of “Mrs. Jiang.”

“She’s a disobedient wild kitten.”

He dropped his magnetic voice so low, as if he was afraid that others would not be able to hear the “indulgence” in his voice.

After saying that, he then turned toward the direction of the elevator and met his buddy.

The latter cocked a brow meaningfully at him, which he ignored and just headed straight into the elevator, pressing the floor number 7 where his office was located.

Xu Kuangjie followed him into the elevator before regarding him. “Hey, that female doc seems like a pretty good catch with her voluptuous figure and sweet voice. She’s obviously interested in you.”

Jiang Beiyuan snorted. “Are you feeling very idle?”

“Say, there are plenty of beauties in your hospital. No matter who you pick from the lot, that person is surely better than that one you have at home— Ugh.”

He swallowed the rest of his words back down after receiving a sharp glare from a certain man.

That person was his treasure, indeed. He could not even say a word about her.

As the saying went, “He who understands the times is a wise man.” He did not want a repeat of last time, whereby he’d had to fork out the money for 50 bowls of sea cucumber soup for nothing.

…

As it was a weekend that day, it was crowded at the cafeteria. While Xu Kuangjie went to place their food orders, Jiang Beiyuan waited at his seat while leaning against the window.

He had his hands behind his head while he shut his eyes for a nap.

Yu Lili’s earlier words lingered in his mind.

Given Yan Nian’s personality, she would surely never match him with another woman.

He was referring to the past Yan Nian, of course.

Now…

He frowned.

She was a coward.

His thoughts gradually drifted back to a decade ago…

On a path where the setting sun lit up the roadside, a girl in a blue and white school uniform and a high ponytail walked beside him.

“You’d better not tell my parents that I was made to stand still as a punishment today!”

He glanced at her, and upon seeing her crumpled face, laughed. “It’ll depend on my mood.”

“Hey! Why do you behave this way? How can you take delight in seeing me being punished?!”

“Which eye of yours see that I’m rejoicing over your misfortune?”

“Both eyes! While you’re up on the flagpole platform, you were smiling so smugly at seeing me standing below. You must’ve been laughing at me.”

So, this was what she thought of him.

He was not upset. Instead, he wore a mischievous look on his face as he continued smirking at her. “Well, your parents will surely be at home later. Let’s see if I’ll say anything about it when we arrive there.”

“Jiang Ting!”

“Call me ‘big bro’ and I’ll reluctantly consider keeping your secret.”

A certain female then glared at him with her two big eyes and shot him a murderous look.

Still, she eventually meekly compromised…

“Brother Jiang Ting…”

Interesting.

That was what he thought back then.

Little did he expect that he would find her increasingly more interesting later on.

He got pulled back to reality when he was startled awake by a sharp and clear sound.

The moment he opened his eyes, his friend’s curious face appeared in his line of vision.

“What is it? What sweet dreams were you having?”
