With such a beautiful woman by his side, how could he, neither a gentleman nor a saint, remain unmoved?
Jiang Yong'an was prepared to be slapped, but he didn't.
As if he were in an empty place, he easily plucked those delicate lips, as tender as rose petals.
Gu An'an had no intention of resisting until she heard the bed creak in protest against the sudden weight. Only then did she come to her senses and try to push the man's chest away with her weak and powerless hands.
In reality, it's like a tickle; it has absolutely no harmful effect.
Jiang Yong'an used the force to create distance between them. With his keen eyesight, he saw the blush on Gu An'an's cheeks and felt his own body burning. "I... I just wanted to ask you to wait for me."
Gu An'an felt that she must have been single for too long, so her body couldn't resist male hormones.
It's all the fault of dopamine.
"On what grounds?"
She admitted that she had some feelings for Jiang Yong'an.
Humans are visual creatures; it's perfectly normal for men to like beautiful women and for women to like handsome men.
Jiang Yong'an is a strange person, but putting aside his strangeness, he is a decent person.
He was good-looking, skilled, and had saved her life.
Of course, a woman doesn't need many reasons to have feelings for a man.
Therefore, Gu An'an did not refuse when Jiang Yong'an kissed her.
But that doesn't mean she'll agree to Jiang Yong'an's request.
"We're not related, so why should I wait for you for three years? I'm wasting my best years on you, Jiang Yong'an. Do you think you have the right to ask me to stay by your side?"
The man paused for a moment upon hearing this, his eyes growing increasingly dark as he looked at the lips that had just been lightly bitten and were now fuller.
Gu An'an subconsciously pulled the thin blanket up a little, though it didn't help.
But if this person really uses force, Gu An'an won't just sit and wait to die.
"I know I'm not qualified; it was wishful thinking on my part." The man chuckled. Bai Mu was right. He was a man whose life was on the line; how could he be qualified to talk about marriage?
How dare he make Gu An'an wait for him for three years?
They've only known each other for a short time.
Jiang Yong'an took out the five thousand tael silver note and stuffed it under his pillow. "I'm leaving now. I'll have to trouble you with Mingyi and the others a lot more."
He suddenly got up and left, which left Gu An'an dumbfounded.
They've left?
What does this mean?
"Jiang Yong'an".
Afraid of disturbing the other family members, Gu An'an lowered her voice and, without even putting on her shoes, got up and chased after them outside.
Stepping on the blue bricks, a slight chill ran through her, and Gu An'an couldn't help but furrow her brow.
Fortunately, she managed to grab the man's sleeve and pull him to face her. "What do you mean?"
After all, it's summer, and if it weren't for the few little boys at home, Gu An'an would probably wear as many clothes as possible. Right now, she's only wearing a cotton undergarment made in Songjiang.
The person, who has never been a very still sleeper, had unknowingly tossed and turned until the tie at the collar of his shirt came undone.
A patch of white, smooth skin was revealed on her chest, which unfortunately fell into the man's eyes.
Jiang Yong'an sighed and reached out to help her tie her coat. "It's a bit chilly at night, be careful not to catch a cold."
"What business is it of yours whether I'm sick or not?" Gu An'an kicked Jiang Yong'an angrily after swatting his hand away. "You'd better get out of here right now, so you don't annoy me in front of me."
Now that this person is gone, where is she going to find another guy who's not short of money and can occasionally go hunting in the mountains and bring back some wild game?
Gu An'an still had a lot of complaints.
Let's go, let's go quickly.
It's best if you never come back.
Wouldn't it be better for her to continue living a carefree life as a young widow?
Turning around, Gu An'an went back to her room to sleep.
Before I could take two steps, someone hugged me from behind.
Jiang Yong'an was surprised to find that Gu An'an was so thin, with a waist so slender it could be encircled by a single hand.
"Let's talk this out, don't resort to violence."
Gu An'an spoke fiercely, but she did not break free from the man's arms. In her words, don't try to provoke a strong man.
Especially for a man in his prime, even struggling will only bring him trouble.
We must outsmart them.
"Wait for me for three years, okay? I will definitely come back in three years to marry you in a grand ceremony and make you the mistress of the house."
Three years.
Gu An'an laughed out loud.
Even though Jiang Yong'an took the initiative to write her a divorce agreement, and even though Jiang Yong'an knew she liked children but didn't forcibly take some of the children away, she was still grateful for it.
But so what?
"If you agree to marry into my family in three years, I might consider it."
Upon hearing this, the man gently rubbed his chin against Gu An'an's shoulder and neck, his short stubble scratching against her delicate skin, causing Gu An'an to involuntarily furrow her brows.
"Did you hear that?" Unless a family is extremely poor, a man rarely chooses to marry into another family.
Gu An'an wasn't insisting that Jiang Yong'an marry into her family; she just wanted a gesture.
Otherwise, why should she wait for Jiang Yong'an for three years?
The woman's voice was low, and perhaps because it was the middle of the night, it sounded somewhat charming and innocent to Jiang Yong'an.
He could almost picture Gu An'an's expression at that moment, her face flushed with a hint of anger, "I heard you."
Jiang Yong'an turned the person around, lowered his body a little, and looked at Gu An'an. "Although I have parents and brothers, my parents do not love me, and my brothers do not treat me with affection. I am truly a lonely and helpless person. What harm would it do for me to enter your family?"
