Chapter 241 He Finally Waited

"Jiang An, I miss you so much." Gao Chuan pulled Jiang An into his arms, wrapping his hand around her slender waist.

Jiang An’s face unwittingly pressed against the man’s chest, stunned by his deep voice, she forgot to struggle.

Held captive in his embrace, she felt Gao Chuan’s burning temperature below her, like a warm furnace.

Not knowing if the man was delirious, Jiang An tried to get up, but he tightened his grip, his hot breath entirely on her neck beside her ear.

"Jiang An, I miss you." Gao Chuan repeated hoarsely, slightly opening his bleary eyes to look at the woman on him, he pursed his pale, bloodless lips, his consciousness already sinking.

For four whole years, he had longed to hold her in his arms again.

Now, his wish was finally fulfilled, feeling the faint breaths of the woman and the tangible touch on his hands.

It was like the dreams he’d often had over the years.

His eyes gradually warmed, he hugged the slightly stunned Jiang An a bit tighter, and his chin gently rubbed the top of her head. With a somewhat choked voice, he asked, "Have you... have you... thought about me?"

In these four years, did you think of me?

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang An, lying on top of him, stiffened suddenly, a surge of frustration welled up inside her.

It was as if all the pent-up endurance and grievances of the past four years shattered in that instant, and the wall she had painstakingly built around her heart collapsed.

During her four years abroad, too many misfortunes had occurred. She remembered how one night a thief entered her place, the sound of intrusion was clear in her ears, lying in bed she dared not make a sound, enduring as all her cash was stolen.

After the thief left, she didn’t dare to turn on the light and sat on the bed crying all night.

That tear-filled night, she insanely thought of him, helplessly wishing that if he were lying next to her, embracing her to sleep, how wonderful that would be.

In school, a foreign boy had publicly confessed to her, looking at that bunch of bright roses, she could not help but recall the flowers he had once given her, even fancifully hoping that if it were him, things would be better.

But such longing was like a cursed poisonous worm, the flowing time bit by bit devoured her last hopes.

For four years, he had never come to find her.

She knew it would be easy for Gao Chuan to find out where she went abroad, yet he never appeared.

It was as if their connection was completely severed, without any contact.

If he truly missed her, why was there no sign of him during those long four years?

Thinking this, Jiang An sniffled, knowing Gao Chuan was not very lucid due to his fever, she pushed him away and got off the bed.

Turning back to see him squinting, his cheeks reddened, she picked up a cup from the table, and tended to him by giving him fever-reducing medicine.

After much struggle, Gao Chuan had lost his strength and closed his eyes, deeply falling asleep.

Jiang An pulled the covers over him, turned to wet a towel in the bathroom, and placed it on his forehead to make arrangements properly. Seeing that there was no more sound from the person on the bed, she slowly squatted by the bed examining his sleeping face.

It seemed that the fever-reducing medicine was working, sweat had formed on the tip of his nose, the redness on his face gradually faded, his brows and lashes were dense, his thin lips pale like water, and his firm chest rhythmically rose and fell.

Jiang An couldn’t help but reach out and gently stroke the man’s facial features, muttering to himself, "Do you really love me?"

——

Gao Chuan slept straight into the evening. When the man sat up from the bed, he saw that night had fallen outside the window, and he glanced around to find that Jiang An was nowhere in the room, silently furrowing his brows.

Hearing the noise, Secretary Chen walked over from the sofa, and upon seeing Gao Chuan about to get out of bed, hurriedly came up to ask how he was feeling.

The fever had subsided, but the heat had been driven out, making his throat very dry. Seeing Secretary Chen approaching, Gao Chuan pinched his slightly itchy throat and walked over to pour himself a glass of water.

"It’s alright, where is Jiang An?"

Secretary Chen seemed to know he would ask about Jiang An and answered straightforwardly, "Ms. Jiang left in the afternoon, she instructed me to make sure you took your medication."

"Hmm," Gao Chuan picked up the glass, took a few sips of water to moisten his throat, and noticed two strips of pills placed next to the cup, taking them out and swallowing two pills.

He had slept all afternoon, unaware of when Jiang An had left. His head was foggy from the fever before, only remembering Jiang An urging him to wake up and take his medicine, and he had no recollection of anything after that.

The man patted the back of his head, watching as Secretary Chen placed a dinner on the table, cleverly saying, "Ms. Jiang said you should eat first when you get up."

Having not eaten all day, Gao Chuan walked over to the sofa and sat down, opened the lunchbox, and realized it was a porridge of preserved egg and lean meat, still not completely cool, and began eating with a spoon.

Secretary Chen stood by, thinking that now Gao Chuan’s fever had subsided, it was time to consider returning to Jing City, and asked, "There are two projects in Jing City urgently needing your return, should we book a flight back?"

Hearing this while eating his porridge, Gao Chuan’s expression sharpened, his motion pausing for a few seconds before silently nodding.

It was indeed time to return.

Seeing his consent, Secretary Chen breathed a sigh of relief; he immediately checked the flights for the next few days and after discussing with the man, they finally settled on a flight at four o’clock the next afternoon.

After finishing his porridge, Secretary Chen tidied up and left the room. Gao Chuan sat alone on the sofa, quietly reflecting for a long time, eventually picking up the car keys from the table and leaving the house.

When he arrived downstairs at the Fang Family’s building, it was already past nine o’clock. He parked the car in the same place as before.

Just like the previous times, looking up at the now quiet villa, the man sat silently in the car, maintaining a long silence alone.

Still not feeling very energetic after recovering from a severe illness, Gao Chuan’s thoughts were numerous. Just as he was about to pull out a cigarette from his pocket, his phone suddenly vibrated a few times.

He tapped to open it, only to find that it was a message from Jiang An.

Jiang An: Are you downstairs?

In the darkness, seeing the particularly brief words on the phone screen, the man immediately perked up, turned his head to look again at the villa that hadn’t completely turned its lights off, and quickly replied.

Within a few seconds, Jiang An replied.

Gao Chuan: Yeah.

Jiang An: Wait for me.

Sitting in the car, seeing the content Jiang An replied back, a gentle smile overflowed from the depths of his eyes.

He waited.
