Chapter 256: A Simple Romance

Because nothing can defeat love except love itself. — "Love You Like Life"

"All right, I agree to everything." Gao Chuan, sitting on the sofa, looked intently at Jiang An beside him, his expression somewhat stiff.

Whatever the conditions, he would agree, after all, he had waited for this moment far too long.

Jiang An noticed his eagerness to agree and couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth, as if amused by the man’s fear that she would change her mind, she stood up and rubbed the top of his head, "Hey, at least listen to me first!"

A tone of helplessness, yet the gesture was filled with indulgence.

Touched by her caress, Gao Chuan’s eyes blinked slightly, but he didn’t move to take her hand away from his head.

When Jiang An finally realized she had made such an affectionate gesture, she hurriedly tried to withdraw her hand, but before she could move back, the man in front of her grasped her wrist and gently pulled her to his side.

The man hugged her, spread her legs, and Jiang An was seated astride him.

The sequence of movements was smooth and practiced, as it had always been.

Jiang An, caught off guard, reached out to wrap her arms around the man’s neck, stabilizing her motions, and then lifted her gaze to meet the man’s sharp and exquisite features.

So close, she could even capture the sight of his hair strands, distinct from being wet.

The man naturally buried his head in her shoulder; his previously tense expression relaxed in an instant, and he murmured, "Go ahead."

Jiang An, encircled in his arms, felt the weight on her shoulder, and a faint blush crept upon her face.

Seeing his obedience today, she didn’t struggle free, allowing the man’s broad palms to rest on her waist as she slowly bent down to lift his face.

Forced to look up, Gao Chuan’s eyes were somewhat moist, with fine veins visible.

"First, I hope that when we are in a relationship we can respect each other, and when it comes to intimacy you should ask for my opinion, not start touching without a word," Jiang An said, staring at the man in front of her, her voice calm.

She was referring to his behavior just now.

The woman’s words fell on his ears word by word, and though Gao Chuan was reluctant, he could only comply, squeezing out a "Mhm" from his throat.

Seeing that after so many difficulties he finally succeeded in winning back his wife, yet he could look but not touch, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat disappointed.

Jiang An noticed a hint of absent-mindedness flickering in the man’s eyes, curved her brows and eyes, and lightly smoothed out the man’s furrowed brow, throwing out her second requirement: "Also, you can’t stay silent."

"Tell me what’s happening; don’t keep everything bottled up inside."

Gao Chuan’s expression faltered upon hearing this, and after regaining his senses, he nodded slightly.

Staying silent, not explaining, not sharing his feelings—this was his greatest flaw.

In the past, he arrogantly believed that some things didn’t need to be exaggeratedly explained, unaware that his negligence had allowed the crack between them to widen to the point where it finally erupted, which led to Jiang An’s departure.

Previously, he didn’t understand what love was, thinking that love could also be silent.

But he never considered that sometimes, love also needed to be voiced.

"Whatever happens, we need to communicate promptly, understand?" Jiang An, looking down at the man before her, spoke gently and persuasively.

If he keeps up his silent persona, she would feel as if she was in a relationship with a mute.

She hadn’t thought it was a serious problem when they were together previously, thinking that Dr. Gao was just taciturn until everything that happened later. If they were to start again, they couldn’t continue in silence.

Although she wasn’t one for sweet talk, she hoped that Gao Chuan would express his love for her more.

That way, she wouldn’t think that romance was a one-person show.

Moreover, since their reunion, the man had never once told her the three words "I love you."

For women, some formalities really do matter.

Hearing Jiang An’s gentle guidance, Gao Chuan’s eyes flickered, and he responded in a deep voice, "Okay."

It was as if his weakness had been poked, and the man buried his head back into the nook of Jiang An’s shoulder, his warm breath spreading over the pale skin of her neck.

There was one last request. Jiang An calmed down and thought for a while, then reached out to lift the man’s head up again, guiding him like a little child, and said, "The last one... um..."

"Repeat what you wanted to tell me last night."

She had been out drunk last night, and by the time she got home it was already nearly midnight, missing the birthday surprise he had prepared.

But in a normal romantic relationship, you can’t skip the confession part.

Gao Chuan watched Jiang An, who was spinning her eyes, her teasing demeanor like that of a crafty little fox.

He had indeed prepared a lot, but because her drunkenness had disrupted all the plans, the atmosphere he had hoped for was lost. To utter words that felt corny to him, given the context, was indeed embarrassing.

Seeing him just looking at her, remaining silent, Jiang An pouted her mouth impatiently, "Are you going to say it or not?"

The man looked at her, still not opening his mouth.

When Jiang An saw this, a hint of displeasure appeared on her face.

"Are you going to speak, or should I walk away?"

He had agreed to speak just a second ago and now had turned mute again.

As he watched the woman become agitated by his silence, getting up to leave, Gao Chuan gripped her hand in desperation, securing her firmly in his embrace.

"I’ll say it."

Jiang An stopped trying to pull away, looking with interest at the person before her.

Seemingly struggling to speak, the man’s lips quivered, and a few seconds later, he looked directly into the woman’s eyes and slowly began, "Jiang An, you’ve told me before that you long for a normal romance and marriage."

"I haven’t loved many people from childhood to adulthood, but I know I want to have all of you."

"So, if you wish, I would like to have an ordinary romance with you."

This time, they would not mess up the order; they would meet, get to know each other, fall in love, and be in love, just like most couples in the world.

An ordinary romance, with life’s simple needs, meals of all seasons, companionship for life.

He would make up to her all the missing romance and the rightful status she deserves.

The man was looking up, his face tense as he gazed at the person before him, his adam’s apple moving nervously.

After hearing his speech, Jiang An looked at him for a moment and then burst out laughing.

Her heart was also leaping wildly.

It seemed as if fireworks were exploding in her heart, and she felt like she was walking on clouds.

Isn’t he also pretty good with words?

Gao Chuan took in her smiling face, and just as he showed confusion, Jiang An’s voice came down.

"Okay, then let’s be in a relationship."
