Doctor Jiang’s Beloved Sweetheart

There were flickering lights and passing shadows with huge neon lights outside.

A round wooden table with approximately more than ten people seated around it was reflected in the mirror.

Yan Nian, who was sitting beside Jiang Beiyuan, was drinking soup uncomfortably.

Rewind to ten minutes ago.

Jiang Beiyuan was driving as Yan Nian sat in the passenger’s seat. When they had reached the entrance of Huangtian Grand Hotel, the man only explained simply, “I am bringing you to meet some friends.”

Yan Nian was stunned.

“Meet your friends? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Is there a problem?”

Yan Nian lowered her gaze to look at herself.

She was wearing a white blouse and skinny jeans. Her hair was tied messily into a bun, and she did not put on any makeup today. She obviously did not look formal.

“Isn’t it rather rude of me to be looking like this? How about we just forget about it? You can head in by yourself and I will wait for you in the car!”

The corners of Jiang Beiyuan’s lips twitched a little before a slight smile graced his lips. “You aren’t the one who is rude, they are.”

“What do you mean?”

The man did not explain any further.

As they took a seat, there were men of varying heights and sizes present. Amidst these different men, Yan Nian only recognized Xu Kuangjie.

Jiang Beiyuan introduced them one by one from left to right, but she couldn’t remember a single one of them.

“Is this sister-in-law? She is rather pretty.”

A bespectacled man who was wearing a blue training suit had asked as he sized her up.

Before Yan Nian could even respond, Jiang Beiyuan held her shoulders and nodded his head. “My wife, Jiang Nian.”

Yan Nian was stunned.

Stunned by the warmth from his broad palm and his words.

Jiang Nian…

The man smiled. “Woah, Brother Jiang, sister-in-law has the same surname as you? The two of you were really fated to be with one another!”

Yan Nian hurriedly shook her hand. “No, no, my name is Yan Nian. It’s ‘Yan’ in the word ‘language’ ¹ .”

“Ah… Brother Jiang, her surname is Yan.”

The man didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

Jiang Beiyuan was not embarrassed at all despite being undermined by Yan Nian. His pretty face was filled with warmth. “My wife is now part of the Jiang family. Do you have a problem with her taking my surname?”

“Alright. Since she is already your wife, please have a seat!” Xu Kuangjie said.

His words were laced with a double meaning.

This lad didn’t seem to have very good eyesight. Couldn’t he tell that Yan Nian was the girl from high school? Yet he still asked about her.

Following his words, Yan Nian sat down.

Not long after, another person arrived.

Yu Lili.

Zhang Fan explained that he had invited Yu Lili as he was afraid that it would be awkward with Yan Nian as the only woman present.

Yan Nian smiled speechlessly. She was actually feeling more awkward now with Yu Lili around since this woman had a crush on Jiang Beiyuan. But judging from Zhang Fan’s expression, he had no clue.

Halfway through, Yan Nian excused herself to go to the washroom.

When she returned, she could hear Yu Lili’s laughter as she stood outside the door.

“Yes, our Dr. Jiang is extremely popular with the ladies in the hospital. He is smart and has brilliant medical expertise. He is also clean and honest. Who wouldn’t like a man like him?”

Yan Nian stopped in her tracks.

The man already had someone unattainable in his heart. If she were to like him too, she was just going to be a disgrace.

When it came to feelings, the best situation was mutual affection and mutual attraction. Do not fall for a person who has someone else in their hearts, or the person who would end up hurt is yourself.

Especially women.

She’d known this reasoning for a long time. Therefore, she was only infatuated once in a while but she never fell too deep. When it came to relationships, she had already seen through everything.

Yu Lili was smooth and slick, thus instantly clicking with the other men in the room, apart from Jiang Beiyuan and Xu Kuangjie.

“I’m sorry, but I need to head to the washroom as well.”

Just as Yu Lili had walked out, Yan Nian was tidying herself in front of a mirror.

One was in a red skirt and had red-stained lips. Another was delicate and neat.

It was like a comparison between a red rose and a white rose.

Yu Lili smiled at Yan Nian.

However, there seemed to be some hidden meaning behind her smile.

Yan Nian did not take it to heart and was prepared to head back in, only to hear the men in the room talking about her—

“Lao Jiang, can I be honest for a moment?”

“I feel that Dr. Yu is beautiful and impressive, and she has a thriving family background. I heard that her father is the boss of a company. Also, the two of you work in the same occupation, and you guys have so many common topics to talk about. Isn’t that nice?”

“This Yan Nian seems okay too. She doesn’t speak much, and she seems really quiet…”

“But from what I saw, she isn’t as good as Dr. Yu!”

Yan Nian was instantly hit with a realization.

So this was the reason behind Yu Lili’s meaningful smile.

In the next second, through the gap of the door, she could see Jiang Beiyuan’s sunken expression as he raised his hand and gave the person beside him a punch.

“You brat. If you dare to say bad things about my wife again, we will no longer be brothers!”
