CHAPTER 426: CHAPTER 427 SLAP IN THE FACE! RELATION? WE ARE LOVERS!

Gu Anxi nodded with a gleeful smile. "Dr. Jiang, actually, I hope you get married sooner than you do, so you can stop having designs on my uncle."

Jiang Chaoge was somewhat angry. "Gu Anxi, mind your words."

"Does Dr. Jiang even possess such a thing?" Gu Anxi looked her up and down with a smirk.

Jiang Chaoge had initially wanted to get the upper hand on her, but she quickly found out she was no match for Gu Anxi’s sharp tongue.

She glared at Gu Anxi resentfully. "Once I’ve signed the contract, the landscape of Beicheng’s medical industry will be rewritten."

Gu Anxi cast her eyes down. "So you’re willing to sacrifice yourself just to compete with others? Jiang Chaoge, isn’t it good enough to focus on your own career? Isn’t your own life worth cherishing?"

"What about you? Aren’t you also fighting!?" Jiang Chaoge sneered. "Didn’t you also move from Qingcheng to Beicheng?"

Gu Anxi gave a soft smile. "If I had a choice, I’d rather stay in Qingcheng forever."

That car accident, that year of inhuman training... How could someone like Jiang Chaoge, who’s had such a smooth life, ever imagine it!

And yet, she sometimes thought, if it weren’t for these tribulations, she would never have met her uncle...

Later, at the restaurant, she seemed a bit subdued and leaned on Bo Xichen without saying a word.

After Bo Xichen finished his interactions, he took her away. Once in the car, he turned to her. "What’s wrong? Did Jiang Chaoge bully you?"

Gu Anxi protested, "Uncle, you underestimate me too much. I’m the one who bullies her, not the other way around."

Bo Xichen chuckled and caressed her cheek. "Ah, I forgot. She can’t out-talk you or out-fight you."

Gu Anxi’s tiny fist landed on him. It didn’t hurt him, but her hand was somewhat sore.

"It’s all your fault! My hand hurts. Rub it for me." She snuggled into his embrace.

Bo Xichen was exasperated. "So, you’re being unreasonable now?"

"Yes, I’m being unreasonable," she said in a spoiled tone, then added discontentedly, "Uncle, are you going to..."

"Do you want a reward, or do you want me to rub your hand?" His voice was husky.

The spoiled girl thought for a moment, then finally whispered, "I want both..."

Bo Xichen gave a gentle smile, holding her small face...

Near their car, Jiang Chaoge and Jack were also preparing to leave. Jack suddenly paused.

He silently watched AN in another man’s arms, her arms around his neck, completely absorbed.

She must love that man so, so much, he thought. Far more than she ever liked Qin Siyuan. If her affection for Qin Siyuan was that of a girl, then the man she was with now... he had made AN a woman. She was different with him—so soft...

Jiang Chaoge also watched quietly, then managed a forced smile. "Jack, let’s go!"

She stayed in his hotel that night, all night long.

Jiang Chaoge felt that even if their relationship hadn’t reached the point of discussing marriage, it had certainly become firmly established.

So, early the next morning, she walked into the bathroom and hugged Jack from behind. "I’m going home today... I mean, to my parents’ home. Do you want to come with me?"

Jack was brushing his teeth. He paused for a moment, then said rather absent-mindedly, "Some other time! I have something on today."

Jiang Chaoge took a deep breath. "Jack, you... us..."

"We are great lovers." Jack turned his head and smiled faintly.

Jiang Chaoge’s smile froze on her face.

After a long pause, she finally managed to stammer, her voice trembling, "Lovers?"
