Jin Lan found it laughable. He had already guessed the identity of this woman: Jiang Yan's troublesome elder sister, Jiang Huan.
Tsk, it was true that seeing is believing, and she was as ridiculous as a buffoon.
"Can I come in now?"
Jiang Huan had been posing at the doorway for a good few minutes, and Jin Lan could no longer stand it.
"Please, come in!" Jiang Huan moved aside, reaching out to take the items in Jin Lan's hand.
As she took the flowers, she deliberately brushed her fingertips across the back of Jin Lan's hand, then walked away with a bashful expression.
Jin Lan strode in and placed the flowers on the table. Jiang Huan immediately snatched them up, saying joyfully, "Thank you, Doctor Jin. These are my favorite flowers."
Jiang Huan truly didn't expect her mother had lied. This Doctor Jin was truly perfect in every way – good-looking, well-built, wealthy, and influential. He was simply the man of her dreams.
If, at first, she had only intended to snatch the man from Jiang Yan, now she was utterly captivated by him.
Jiang Huan felt she had fallen in love. This man was exactly her type, and she was determined to have him.
"Those flowers are for my girlfriend, Jiang Yan. Put them down and don't touch them!" Jin Lan took a disposable disinfectant wipe from his pocket, tore it open, and meticulously wiped the back of his hand before discarding it in the trash.
Jiang Huan looked at his actions, somewhat dumbfounded. What did he mean by that? Did he think she was covered in germs?
But then, remembering he was a doctor, she thought perhaps all doctors were quite hygienic and didn't dwell on it.
"Doctor Jin, do all doctors have germophobia? Do you have to disinfect after a simple touch?" Jiang Huan asked.
"It depends on the person. When my girlfriend touches me, I'm delighted. Some people, however, find it dirty and need to disinfect," Jin Lan said sarcastically, his tone cold and undisguised.
"Doctor Jin, I just washed my hands. They're not dirty at all. You can smell them if you don't believe me." Jiang Huan deliberately leaned in.
Then, she pretended to trip, lunging towards Jin Lan. Jin Lan had been guarding against her. He quickly moved aside, and Jiang Huan landed directly on the nearby sofa. Due to the excessive force, she nearly tumbled over.
Jin Lan was speechless and asked, "When is Yan Yan coming back?"
"Oh, I told her you were coming tonight and asked her to come back early. Who knows why she's still not back? Maybe something has delayed her," Jiang Huan, who had nearly been thrown off the sofa, quickly adjusted herself into a seductive pose.
"Then I'll go pick her up. At this hour, she should be on her way to work." Jin Lan said, picking up the flowers from the table and leaving, with no intention of staying.
Jiang Huan panicked. She had never expected this Doctor Jin to be so difficult to handle. She hadn't informed Jiang Yan about tonight's gathering at all and absolutely couldn't let him leave.
Moreover, her objective hadn't been achieved yet. How could she let this man go?
"Doctor Jin." Jiang Huan stood up, trying to chase after him. However, she was wearing high heels, and in her haste, she twisted her ankle and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
"Doctor Jin, I've sprained my ankle. It really hurts. Can you come and help me up?" Jiang Huan gasped in pain, her ankle already swelling.
"It's not convenient for me to help you up. I'll call an ambulance for you." Jin Lan said, then took out his phone and dialed 120 for emergency services before leaving with the flowers.
Jiang Huan was stunned. She couldn't believe he would pull such a stunt. She wanted an ambulance? She wanted him to help her up!
