Doctor Jiang’s Beloved Sweetheart

The woman standing at the door was startled by his reaction.

She did not expect him to defend her.

The man, who was her husband, was usually reserved and detached. But he was all fired up when he stood up for her this time.

She had to admit that it warmed her heart to see him standing up for her. It was like her heart was melting while surrounded by a halo.

Just like that day when she had appendicitis…

He anxiously carried her to the hospital and took care of her through the night. This warmth was like the warmth she’d felt that day.

Still, it would be rather awkward if she were to enter the room now.

After all, she could tell that his buddies did not approve of their union.

Thus, she sent a text message to him and left, citing tummy ache as an excuse.

Tummy ache?

He thought that she was having the same inflammatory issue with her appendix again.

Just as he was about to leave, he bumped into Yu Lili coming in from outside.

“Yan Nian was standing outside just now. Hasn’t she come in yet?”

The man immediately understood what prompted her to go when he heard that.

He got up and walked away without another word, shrouded in a thick layer of chill that sent off an icy warning to those around him.

Everyone at the table looked at one another, wondering what could have caused the sudden change in him.

In the end, Xu Kuangjie, who could read the man well, said with a start, “The bunch of you are done, all done in! You’ve antagonized him.”

“Ah?!”

“Heheh, haven’t you all recognized who that lady is? She’s the one from high school!”

At his words, they looked at each other again, and it was Zhang Fan who got the hint first. Slapping the back of his head, he exclaimed, “Gosh, that’s her! She’s that girl whom our man has been pining over!”

“You’re right. That’s why I said that all of you here have now been done in. Who knows, she might have overheard our conversation earlier. Heheh.”

This man was secretly gloating!

He loved watching Jiang Beiyuan exerting his vengeance on those who crossed him.

Next time, if any of them were to suffer from any issues with their heart, chest, or lungs and he was the one to perform the operation, the man would surely do something despicable like leaving a piece of gauze inside the cavity.

All of their faces turned horrid as they stared across at the bespectacled man who made the wrong comments.

“Lao Ba, we’re not going to be the scapegoat for your blunder!”

The bespectacled man was speechless. “…”

…

Yan Nian wandered aimlessly on the streets.

Somehow, she seemed to sense a stalker following her from behind. She turned around and was stunned for a few seconds when she smacked right into Jiang Beiyuan’s face.

“Why are you here?”

Shouldn’t he be with his buddies?

He dipped his head in an obeisant fashion as his gaze was fixed on her. “I’m full.”

“Oh… Oh, right. I had a terrible, terrible tummy ache just now, but not anymore!”

She rubbed her tummy and tried to grin at him.

Her acting skills were so poor that the man could not be bothered to expose her lie.

“If there’s nothing else, then I’ll return to my shop now. There are still many things to settle.”

Nodding, he said to her, “Let me send you back.”

“It’s not necessary! My shop is not on the way to your hospital. I can get a cab by myself.”

She was hesitating and uncertain.

The man walked up to her and grabbed her delicate, tender wrist.

“Your man here is more than willing to send you back.”

In other words, there was no room for her to reject the offer.

Yan Nian: “…”

She’d found the man haughty and hard to get along with at first.

But after spending some time with him, she realized that he was not aloof at all.

Instead, he was a showy man and could be rather coy.

Like now.

He sent her safely back to the shop. Just as she was about to thank him, she suddenly discovered that the door to her shop was open.

Thinking the worst, she alighted hurriedly and fled to the shop for a closer look.

She had initially reckoned this to be the work of a burglar, only to see He Huaiguang sitting at the hall, trying his hands at floral arrangement…

There was something she needed to say, though… the floral arrangement in the hands of an untrained person was too atrocious to look at!

The man inside the hall was waving at her when he caught sight of Jiang Beiyuan, who came in right after her.

The man was in a white tee and black Bermudas. Looking tall and slender, he had exquisite features with prominently high cheekbones. The profile outline between his jawline and lips was impeccable.

He found the man familiar, as if he had seen him before. However, he could not remember where it was exactly.

“Yan Nian, who is this?”

“Oh, he… he’s my, my—”

She was debating whether to introduce him as a friend or a relative when the man in question responded ahead of her.

“Her hubby.”
