Chapter 118:1 Want to Like It Very Much

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu An intended to take Jin Nian back to the villa, but she resisted and insisted on going to her rented house. Eventually, Lu An had to compromise, and they headed toward her place.

The autumn night breeze was particularly chilly. As soon as they stepped out of the car, Lu An pulled her into his embrace.

He playfully claimed that he was afraid she might feel cold.

On such a chilly night, being led home by someone who held her hand warmly, Jin Nian felt her heart warming up.

She glanced at Lu An and smiled.

Lu An was puzzled by her smile and asked, “What’s so funny?”

Jin Nian had intended to speak, but before she could say anything, she burst into laughter as if a ticklish point had been touched. Her laughter was uncontrollable and she couldn’t stop.

This was just how she was whenever she found something amusing to say, she’d burst into laughter, often making herself laugh until her stomach hurt.

Lu An had initially wanted to inquire about her laughter, but seeing her bright smile, he got caught up in the moment and started laughing too.

When the laughter finally subsided, Jin Nian looked at Lu An once more.

Her crystal-clear eyes held a hint of seriousness as she suddenly said, “Lu An, I was quite happy that you came to pick me up tonight.”

“All, just quite happy?”

“Yeah, just a bit.”

Lu An still seemed somewhat dissatisfied. “I want you to be extremely happy, and I want you to enjoy it.”

In reality, Jin Nian knew perfectly well whether she liked Lu An just a little or a lot.

Ever since Lu An had started subconsciously looking out for her, protecting her, and other similar behaviors, she had developed strong feelings for him.

Back then, she had thought that the fondness she felt for him was like that of a brother.

Before Lu An had pierced through that barrier, she hadn’t even considered the possibility of having emotions for him beyond those of family.

But when that barrier was broken, she didn’t find it strange at all.

Her relationship with Lu An seemed to flow naturally.

Yet, at this moment, there was a sense that something was missing between them.

She gazed at Lu An for a while and suddenly said, “Lu An, why don’t you give being with me a try?”

Lu An didn’t respond for a while.

Starting a romantic relationship?

He had only ever liked one woman in his life, and he lacked any relationship experience. Being with Jin Nian had been something he’d wanted since high school, but someone else had beaten him to it.

What if he didn’t perform well?

Lu An’s mind raced as numerous thoughts darted through his head.

Jin Nian waited for Lu An’s response for a while, feeling a bit disheartened.

“If you’re not willing, then…”

Before she could finish saying those two words, Lu An was already eager, exclaiming, “Of course!”

He patted his heart which was racing, making an effort to suppress his excitement.

“However, if we’re together, do you have any specific conditions?” Lu An asked.

Jin Nian pondered for a moment and replied, “Just let things flow naturally. Relationships can become tiring if we’re too calculated and deliberate.” “Let things flow naturally? How is that any different from what we’re doing now?”

Jin Nian considered it and realized it was a valid point.

So she added, “Then, just try your best to make me happy. They say being in love brings happiness, so focus on making that happen.”

“Happy? What do you want me to do to make you happy?”

“Isn’t that something you should figure out? If I had to come up with it myself, then I’d be making myself happy.”

Jin Nian crossed her arms and assumed a somewhat stern expression.

Though, from Lu An’s perspective, this made her even more adorable.

In truth, her current request to Lu An was motivated by her envy of Feifei.

Feifei always seemed to radiate happiness while in a relationship, unlike Jin Nian’s previous experiences with Jiang Qingchi.

On the contrary, it often felt like she was the one putting in all the effort to make Jiang Qingchi happy.

At that time, her decision to marry Lu An had been impulsive, almost like a last-ditch effort.

She had begun to believe that she was bad at relationships and had all but given up on finding love.

However, Lu An’s presence tonight had rekindled these aspirations.

As Jin Nian thought about these things, she also noticed how pitiful she must have appeared.

Seeing Jin Nian like this, Lu An’s heart swelled with tenderness.

He pulled her into a tight embrace.

“Alright, I’ll make an effort to think about it myself. I’ll figure out ways to make you happy,” Lu An assured her.

After speaking, he gently touched her cheek and caressed her back affectionately..
