Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 158 Please Behave Yourself

Upon hearing this question from An Zhaoran.

Liu Changcun's expression remained calm. He continued to remain silent, gazing intently at An Zhaoran, who was earnestly asking questions.

After a few seconds, he asked with a smile.

"What do you think?"

"I am not sure as well……"

When answering truthfully, An Zhaoran's tone became much lower.

She was clear about her feelings for Liu Changcun, but she could never figure out his attitude towards her.

Sometimes An Zhaoran felt like she was going crazy.

Despite the fact that Liu Changcun was divorced and had two children, she couldn't help but develop feelings for him after spending time with him.

Back in school, she disliked Lin Wanran the most, and Liu Changcun the second most.

However, even now, while the dislike for Lin Wanran remains, the dislike for Liu Changcun in front of him is completely gone.

An Zhaoran was puzzled and conflicted.

She enjoyed being with Liu Changcun; he always took her feelings into account and she never felt bored during conversations.

But Liu Changcun seems to be like this even when he's talking to his senior...

An Zhaoran felt that she was special.

However, judging from the current situation, she is not as special as imagined.

Looking at Liu Changcun in front of her, An Zhaoran couldn't understand why this man was smiling inexplicably when they were talking about a very serious topic.

After hesitating for a while, An Zhaoran continued to express her opinion.

"I don't know how you feel about me, and I don't know what our relationship is right now..."

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Obviously what..."

With her eyes blinking, An Zhaoran looked at Liu Changcun in front of her.

"Aren't we dating now?"

"..."

The blinking suddenly stopped.

An Zhaoran felt her chaotic thoughts suddenly disappear, and her already unclear mind went completely blank.

Looking at Liu Changcun with a question in his eyes, the question gradually turned into confusion.

Then it turned into surprise.

In the end... it turned into a surprise.

"What did you say?"

An Zhaoran looked incredulously at Liu Changcun, who was still smiling.

His mouth opened and closed from time to time, as if he wanted to say something, but he was never able to express his meaning accurately.

Only after his daze subsided did he uncontrollably raise the pitch of his voice.

"is that true?"

"I thought you already knew."

"When did this happen?"

"Hmm... it started when I agreed to let you move into my house."

Liu Changcun pretended to think for a moment, and after pausing for a few seconds, he gave his answer.

Looking at An Zhaoran, whose face was full of shock.

"Sometimes you're more oblivious than I thought; I assumed you'd noticed it much earlier."

"I, I, I, I..."

It was rare to see An Zhaoran stutter.

After several attempts, she calmed down a bit and returned to a normal level of communication.

"I don't remember..."

"Don't remember what?"

"Have you... confessed your feelings to me?"

Without daring to blink, An Zhaoran stared straight at Liu Changcun in front of her.

I was afraid that if I blinked, I would miss Liu Changcun's statement.

Having just received this surprising answer, she began to diligently dig into her past memories.

But no matter how An Zhaoran tried to recall, she couldn't recall any scene of Liu Changcun expressing his feelings to her.

That's why she asked that question after she realized what had happened.

Hearing An Zhaoran's question, Liu Changcun was also somewhat surprised.

In this life, Liu Changcun has only dated his ex-wife Lin Wanran, so he has almost no experience in romance.

In his previous life, he had dated quite a few girlfriends, but they usually ended up together after going out together for a while and spending some time together.

To be honest, Liu Changcun, who had several relationships in his previous life, had never taken the initiative to confess his feelings to a girl.

He didn't even know that dating required such formalities.

"No."

Liu Changcun answered honestly.

An Zhaoran seemed not to have reacted to this response, and it took her a while before she raised her voice.

"You never even confessed your feelings... how did I end up with you?"

"Haven't you hugged me several times already?"

"That was just a natural reaction when I was happy and excited!"

"That night you were downstairs at my place, didn't you even kiss me..."

"I was just kidding!"

"It was just a joke."

"..."

Realizing she had said the wrong thing, An Zhaoran became nervous.

He hurriedly waved his hand, trying to take back what he had blurted out, and was about to step forward to comfort Liu Changcun.

But when she got closer, she saw that the other person was secretly laughing.

In an instant, An Zhaoran realized that the other party was teasing her again, and she immediately reached out her hand again.

This time, however, her pinching technique failed to hit the target and was instead dodged by Liu Changcun with his agile movements.

Despite reaching out several times, An Zhaoran showed no sign of giving up.

Chasing after them in circles, determined to teach them a lesson.

Liu Wanqiu was laughing happily as she swung on a swing in the distance. As the swing went up and down, she also saw the two people circling around in the distance.

Liu Wanqiu, still young, was unaware of what was happening to An Zhaoran, who was playing and frolicking with his father.

Why would adults play such childish games? It wasn't until Liu Changcun grabbed the other person that he was finally able to control An Zhaoran, who had been chasing him.

With his hands tightly gripping the other person's wrists, Liu Changcun simply pulled them in slightly.

An Zhaoran in front of him was like a magnet, drawn to him.

The two touched each other face to face.

An Zhaoran was still trying to pull her hand away, but Liu Changcun's voice rang in her ears.

"Behave yourself, don't let Wanqiu see you."

"..."

The warm breath he exhaled landed on An Zhaoran's ear.

In an instant, her body seemed to lose all strength, and her struggle to pull her hand away also stopped.

An Zhaoran silently looked up at Liu Changcun, who was standing close to her.

She looked at the man in front of her.

Those eyes... were like a calm lake surface, where a stone thrown in created ripples.

So... are we together now?

"If you don't want to be together, you can pretend I never said anything."

"Bah bah bah."

She hurriedly made a statement, as if she had heard something ominous. When she looked at Liu Changcun again, her eyes were already filled with joy.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the two children in the family were on holiday.

An Zhaoran thought today would be another ordinary day, but to her complete surprise, she heard such words from Liu Changcun.

It felt like a dream, without any sense of reality.

An Zhaoran was so overwhelmed with joy that she couldn't suppress it, leaving her quite confused.

Looking at Liu Changcun in front of her, An Zhaoran paused for a long time before murmuring something.

"I'm so happy right now."

He paused, then changed the subject.

"But I'm also a little unhappy..."

"why you are not feeling happy?"

"Because it felt like defining the relationship this way was a bit too casual..."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Liu Changcun".

An Zhaoran called out the man's name, her gaze fixed on him, and met Liu Changcun's gaze.

"You...please confess your feelings to me again."

"..."

"Can't you?"

After An Zhaoran finished speaking, she was met with a five- or six-second silence from Liu Changcun.

Looking at An Zhaoran's expectant eyes, Liu Changcun recalled his private meeting with An Junan at the TV station that day.

In fact, he had just lied to An Zhaoran.

He did not assume that he had established a romantic relationship with her after agreeing to let her stay at his home.

It was only after talking with An Junan that day that he truly understood what An Zhaoran had been going through in private.

After coming into this world, Liu Changcun had not yet tasted the happiness of marriage before his marriage with Lin Wanran fell apart.

Although Liu Changcun had several relationships in his previous life, he ultimately failed to get married.

If in his past life he still had some expectations for marriage.

After coming into this world, he became completely disillusioned with marriage.

Liu Changcun in this world left him with a son and a daughter.

She also left him with that painful marital experience.

It is precisely because of this unforgettable experience that Liu Changcun now deeply resists marriage.

Furthermore, after meeting Ning Mengyao, he witnessed firsthand the demise of her marriage.

Based on his own memories and the experiences of others, Liu Changcun completely lost faith in marriage and only wanted to raise his two children to adulthood.

However... the An Zhaoran before us is different.

Although neither of them had ever been married, they both shared a deep fear of marriage.

However, after spending time with Liu Changcun, she was able to confront her own feelings and act on them without hesitation.

Liu Changcun admired the other party.

They were also attracted by An Zhaoran's indomitable spirit and his unwavering attitude towards difficulties and obstacles.

She confronted her parents and made a bold declaration that she would never marry anyone but Liu Changcun.

If it were Liu Changcun... he might not be as decisive as An Zhaoran.

Such decisiveness.

As Liu Changcun's time with An Zhaoran deepened, he unknowingly began to develop different feelings for her—a kind of affection that only exists between men and women.

He only felt this way when he was facing An Zhaoran.

However, although An Zhaoran had become brave, he, as a man, had not been able to truly express his feelings.

Perhaps inspired by An Zhaoran's imposing presence, Liu Changcun also felt that he could do the same.

Looking at the woman in front of him, he saw An Zhaoran staring directly into his eyes without any hesitation.

Liu Changcun took a deep breath and then slowly began to speak.

"let's be together."

"..."

Upon hearing Liu Changcun's words, she could no longer control herself. She pulled her arm away from his gentle grasp and opened it to embrace the man in front of her.

An Zhaoran gave her whole heart to the other person, holding him tightly as if she wanted to embed herself into him.

She turned her head and gently leaned on the other person's shoulder.

She could even hear Liu Changcun's heartbeat at that moment.

His heartbeat quickened, slowly merging with the beating of her own heart.

"Um……"

The voice coming from An Zhaoran's mouth sounded somewhat muffled.

It was as if they were full of anticipation, or as if they had finally received a response after waiting for a long time.

He gripped the other person's arm even tighter.

He hugged Liu Changcun tightly in front of him.

An Zhaoran felt that today was the happiest day of her life.
