Doctor Jiang’s Beloved Sweetheart

Before she could complete her sentence, the man suddenly raised his voice at her.

He had always been a cold and aloof person who spoke in a low voice. So when he suddenly raised his voice a few octaves for the first time, Yan Nian was completely frightened out of her wits.

She was truly cowed by him.

She became submissive in front of him.

“Isn’t that what you want? Didn’t you say I look like your ex…?”

“Yes. In fact, the two of you seem to practically come from the same mold!”

After dropping that last sentence on her, he left right away.

The woman felt herself being thrown into confusion, and she stood frozen to the spot for a long time in a daze.

How she wished what happened earlier was nothing but a dream.

…

The next day, when she met her bestie for lunch, she told her about this matter.

It had kept her feeling very depressed.

“I thought about it all night, but I still just can’t figure out what I did to tick him off.”

“It’s fine. Men’s anger tends to be short-lived. You don’t have to be bothered about it.”

Ding Baoyi nonchalantly cut the foie gras in her plate.

“No, he was truly angry this time. In the past, he would only give me a black face at most. He’s never flown into a rage before.”

She had no appetite at all.

Propping her cheeks on her hands, she stared at the plate of steak and got lost in her thoughts.

The other woman sighed and put down the silverware in her hands.

“Well, you were in the wrong, too. The fact that he wanted to meet your mother means that he respects you, so how can he not be angry when you refused him?”

“Come on! You know what my mom is like. I’m just afraid that she would extort money from him.”

Her mother would not be Ma Xueyan if she did not ask him for any money upon knowing that the man drove a luxurious car and stayed in a luxurious house.

Ding Baoyi snorted. “Why would you fret over that when you don’t like him?”

“O-Of course I don’t like him!” she stammeringly replied as she waved her hands frantically at her friend.

“Besides, he doesn’t like me either. He only treats me as a replacement for his ex.”

“So what are you still concerned about? Just get over it and don’t overthink it. Learn from me and you’ll be worry-free!”

“Surely, you didn’t break up with that boyfriend of yours?”

“Which one?”

“The one who drives a blue Maserati!”

“Oh~ That’s last month’s matter. Now, I’ve found another one. I’ll let him meet you another day.”

Yan Nian: “…”

The speed of her changing clothes was not as fast as her friend’s when changing her boyfriend.

Her friend used to be a very sensitive person. However, after getting hurt from dating a few scumbags in college, she now no longer cared about relationship affairs.

Yan Nian knew, though: she must somehow still care about it despite her saying otherwise.

Who did not want to marry a good man, after all?

If one could be forever treated like a treasure by someone, who was willing to be a scumbag and a replacement?

At the thought of that, she let out a sigh.

“That said, Jiang Beiyuan treats me pretty well. Not only did he introduce me as Jiang Nian to his friends last time, he even did not allow his buddies to say anything bad about me. He was very protective of me, and that was the first time someone did that for me.”

“So, are you moved now?”

“No…”

She was met with the disbelief in her bestie’s eyes, though.

She coughed twice at that.

“Well, a little. Say, what should I do now, though? I don’t want things becoming so awkward between us.”

“Now you’re asking the right person.”

Ding Baoyi cut a mouthful of steak, placed it in her mouth, and slowly chewed on it.

Yan Nian: “…”

…

Ning City Central Hospital.

As a wise man who submits to circumstances, Xu Kuangjie arrived at the entrance of Jiang Beiyuan’s office early in the morning and waited there to beg for forgiveness.

Upon seeing the doctor arriving at his workplace, he entered the room and offered the man a piping hot meat bun with his two hands.

“Dr. Jiang, you haven’t taken your breakfast, I suppose?”

The other man was putting on his coat, his long, slender fingers slowly buttoning up the front of it.

“Sissies don’t need breakfast.”

Xu Kuangjie: “…”

“Bro, I was at fault. How on earth could I have known that that lad likes your wife?!”

He made no comments about it and, instead, sat down before his desk and started to go through his patients’ medical reports.

Xu Kuangjie walked toward him, feeling frustrated at himself for not thinking before he talked. “Aren’t I here to offer you my most humble apology now? Try the bun, there’s a surprise in it.”

Hearing that, the doctor cocked a brow and gave him a sidelong glance.

“Money filling?”
