Chapter 167: Chapter 94 When Love Matures_2 Chapter 167: Chapter 94 When Love Matures_2 He looked down at her and said in a very casual tone, “Let’s pretend we met at a party, introduced by friends, or even through matchmaking, you get my meaning?”

Wen Yangzhi sought affirmation from her, Yun Yuwan’s ears burning, feeling the sweltering romantic atmosphere enveloping her with no escape.

Wen Yangzhi actually sought affirmation, Yangzhi in love could be like this too.

Clingy as a shadow.

But she was quietly smug for a moment.

When she spoke, her understanding exceeded expectations:

“You mean, I’m already an adult, and we should respect, understand, and take care of each other, is that it?”

Wen Yangzhi was a bit surprised she could understand, his deep black grape-like eyes layering intense shades upon one another, harboring a bottomless smile:

“Indeed, that’s what a lasting relationship is all about.”

By a certain age you realize, love is not jealousy, possession, control, or the desire to take.

Only liking remains.

Liking doesn’t necessarily translate into weathering life’s storms together, it’s mostly conditional, perhaps for someone’s appearance, halo, or a moment’s palpitation of the heart.

Yet love can be stable, regardless of whether the other’s appearance or status changes, whether days are as mundane as water.

Yun Yuwan was nearly sucked into his gaze.

He intentionally asked her, “Do you know the difference between love and liking?”

Nobody knew better than Yun Yuwan, over the years others had pursued her, unconsciously she compared their feelings to what she felt for Wen Yangzhi, it was distinctly different:

“If the one your heart yearns for also yearns for someone else, liking means being overjoyed to see them rejected by another, delighted at the chance for yourself; love means feeling their rejection as if it’s your own, understanding their frustration, not content with their misfortune, your first thought is concern.”

Wen Yangzhi nodded, unabashedly praising, “Philosopher.”

Yun Yuwan made a sound of bemusement at his childlike praise.

His compliments were too carelessly tiger-like, casual as if coddling a child.

But in that moment, the more gentle and steady he was, the more she could feel that this man truly had a broad and profound life experience and understanding, not the impulsive fluctuations of a young boy.

It seemed she understood.

His person was stable, his love as well.

Yun Yuwan leaned into his embrace, feeling an indescribable sense of security.

From the third floor of the Wen Garden villa, you could see the Suzhou River in the distance at the North Bund, with its dazzling bright sea of lights and cars.

Outside was such a clamor, and yet she was with Wen Yangzhi.

Suddenly she kissed him, pressing her lips against his; he just looked down at her for a moment, quickly intertwining with her.

Their breaths were clingier than moonlight.

Their all-accepting kiss was like two warm currents meeting in the ocean, the very confession of a lover’s thoughts being a deadly sincere seduction.

Knowing the other’s dependency gnaws deep to the bone.

Sometimes you can’t even articulate why you like someone, left only with uncontainable feelings, every action stirring the mind and emotions.

It was as if invisible tendrils surrounded them both, tenderly intertwining, pulling their bodies together with the eager yearning for an embrace.

Her lips were the color of Shui Yan, and in a low voice she spoke as she pulled away, “Why only tell me ‘couldn’t help it,’ what about the rest?”

“Mentioning the rest might frighten you,” he was unshakeable.

Yun Yuwan questioned, “It’s not something perverted again, is it?”

He answered her with four words, “Such a teachable child.”

Not a hint of embarrassment on his face, his color unchanged.

Yun Yuwan didn’t dare linger on that thought, her body breaking out in goosebumps, which she couldn’t help but rub.

In his eyes floated a teasing smile, just giving her a meaningful look.

Yun Yuwan suddenly said, “I feel like I’ve gotten closer to you.”

Wen Yangzhi thought she was about to reproach him.

Instead, she looked up at him, her eyes brimming with watery light, “Getting to know the man I like, I feel so happy.”

Her previous desire to check his phone was because she wanted to understand him.

“Is this happiness not part of everyday life?” Wen Yangzhi found her train of thought somewhat amusing.

She muttered softly, “Actually, I was very distressed six years ago; compared to back then, now is definitely better.”

Wen Yangzhi stroked her head, “Oh?”

Yun Yuwan’s heart was full of regret, “Because I missed you so much, if there were other women around you, I was afraid I couldn’t control myself. Seeing you standing there, I just felt love for you, so I left, I didn’t want to cause you trouble.”

Wen Yangzhi seized the crux, “So, from the start, it was love for me.”

“Yes, though it was very painful, I hoped for your betterment,” Yun Yuwan was like a young pup not yet fully grown, but willing to offer up its toys.
