Chapter 206 Beyond Her Imagination

Yan Chengyu got up early the next morning.

He pulled Qu Jianhang into his arms and coaxed her, "Baby, you promised me you'd get up and go for a run yesterday, right?"

Qu Jianhang enjoys exercising, but she rarely gets up early.

And I'm also a bit grumpy when I wake up.

"I'm not going..."

She answered groggily, hugging Yan Chengyu's waist and burying her face in his chest.

I found a comfortable spot, snuggled up, and went back to sleep.

Yan Chengyu is no longer a young man in his twenties or thirties, so he will definitely be more restrained in his marital life.

But for someone his age, the quality of their married life is already very high.

Many young people probably can't compare.

This is thanks to Yan Chengyu's years of training.

Qu Jianhang is able to participate in extreme sports.

This shows how good his physical condition is.

There are many things that Yan Chengyu wants to do with her.

But Qu Jianhang didn't want to move.

"Didn't you say you were going to come to work with me?" Yan Chengyu coaxed her, "Get up, let's go for a run first, then have breakfast, and then go to work together."

For Yan Chengyu, this was the life he had always dreamed of.

Qu Jianhang didn't open his eyes, and hummed, "I'm not going."

"Why aren't you going? You were all agreeing on this yesterday." Yan Chengyu said helplessly, "Then how about we go for a run?"

"I'm not going."

Yan Chengyu couldn't bear to call her anymore, so he kissed her cheek and got out of bed to go for a run.

On such a cold day, so early in the morning, apart from school children, almost no one else was up and active.

It's mainly because it's too cold.

The temperature has dropped again these past few days, now it's below -10 degrees Celsius.

However, these are also some of the coldest days of the year.

This city has four distinct seasons; if it's not cold during the coldest days of winter, then winter wouldn't be winter at all.

When Yan Chengyu finished his run, the person next to him had already bought breakfast. It was from the restaurant that Qu Jianhang liked, which he had specifically asked him to buy beforehand.

He can cook, but there's not enough time in the morning.

If he has a day off, he will cook a meal for Qu Jianhang with care.

But Qu Jianhang has eaten all sorts of good food. No matter how good his cooking is, it can't compare to that of a master chef.

What we're eating is simply a token of our appreciation.

When he got home, he found that Qu Jianhang had gotten up and was stretching his legs next to the cabinet.

"When did you start?" He walked over and kissed her. "I should have waited for you a little longer."

"Just got up." Qu Jianhang pushed him away. "You're covered in sweat."

"I'm going to take a shower." Yan Chengyu placed breakfast on the table: "Eat it while it's hot."

"No rush, I'll wait for you."

Twenty minutes later, the two of them sat down.

Yan Chengyu had a very difficult time pursuing Qu Jianhang back then.

As the only daughter of the Qu family, Qu Jianhang was pampered from a young age.

Her older brothers would often surprise her, fearing that she might be tricked by a poor boy in the future.

Just when she finally fell in love with someone, that man died in an accident.

From then on, she was all alone.

Her family members cherished and loved her even more.

What new tricks might Yan Chengyu have up his sleeve when he's chasing after someone?

It's nothing more than dating, sending flowers, and buying gifts.

But what kind of situation hasn't Qu Jianhang seen?

Yan Chengyu initially felt very frustrated.

He believed he was quite capable, but compared to Qu Jianhang, he had no advantage whatsoever.

Later, Qu Jianhang told him not to waste his energy.

Because she couldn't forget her deceased lover, she had no intention of looking for him again.

Yan Chengyu said something to her at that time.

He said, “If I had been attracted to other women before, I would have given up after hearing what you said. But at my age, you are the only woman who has ever moved me. If I were to give up like this, I would never rest in peace until the day I die.”

Qu Jianhang asked him, "What about your wife? You two even have a son."

Yan Chengyu spoke frankly: "We were just compatible, and during our marriage, we only treated each other with respect. I respected her, but I couldn't love her. I did wrong, but I couldn't control my heart. Seeing you, I realized what love is."

Qu Jianhang gave him a four-word evaluation: glib and smooth-talking.

Poor Yan Chengyu, who was serious his whole life, ended up with this kind of evaluation.

He was completely wronged.

Qu Jianhang only learned Yan Chengyu's true identity later.

But this did not change her mind.

In fact, because Yan Chengyu held a high position and wielded great power, she became even more resistant to him.

Yan Chengyu never considered himself superior to others.

But he never imagined that he would be rejected by Qu Jianhang because of this official position.

Qu Jianhang said, "With such a high-ranking official like you, wouldn't being with you be a lot of constraints? I've always loved freedom and want to do whatever I want. Being with you would involve a lot of concerns and taboos, which isn't what I want."

Yan Chengyu could only promise, "I won't restrict you. After we're together, you can do whatever you want without having to worry about me."

After he finished speaking, Yan Chengyu asked her another question.

"Do you have feelings for me now? Is it just because of my status that you don't want to be with me?"

Qu Jianhang glanced at him, then looked him up and down.

She asked, "Do you work out regularly? How's your health? What are your measurements?"

Yan Chengyu was like a commodity waiting to be sold, and she judged him based on his appearance.

He smiled helplessly and answered her questions one by one.

Qu Jianhang said, "How about this, I'll give you a trial period first. If... you satisfy me, then we'll talk about making you a permanent employee."

Can relationships really be like this?

But this was the only chance, so Yan Chengyu had no choice but to seize it.

He just didn't expect that on the first day of his trial period, Qu Jianhang would sleep with him.

He's a rather traditional person, and to be honest, I really can't accept it.

Qu Jianhang told him, "I know you have regular check-ups, but if I want to be with you, I still want to see your recent check-up reports."

The secretary had all of these; Yan Chengyu had someone send them to him, and then forwarded them to Qu Jianhang.

Then Qu Jianhang said, "Should I go to your place or mine? Let's go to mine. I'm afraid I won't be used to your place."

Yan Chengyu hadn't reacted yet: "Going to my house for dinner?"

"Eat," Qu Jianhang said. "After eating, go to sleep."

She spoke of sleeping very casually.

Yan Chengyu almost thought he had misheard.

Qu Jianhang said, "Why do you think there's a trial period? Whether our sex life is compatible is the most important part of the trial period. What, are you scared?"

To be honest, Yan Chengyu was a little scared.

He doesn't have much need for that.

His relationship with his previous wife was just a routine matter.

After she fell ill, the two of them became even less affectionate.

She had been ill for several years before passing away.

After that, Yan Chengyu lived alone. He was busy with work and was not at the age where he was full of energy, so he rarely thought about such things.

It was only after she fell in love with Qu Jianhang that her body began to react on several quiet nights.

But whether he can pass Qu Jianhang's verification is really hard to say now.

"Never mind then..."

After Qu Jianhang finished speaking, he got up to leave.

Yan Chengyu grabbed her hand.

The two had known each other for quite some time by this point, and Yan Chengyu had been pursuing her for several months.

But this was the first time they held hands.

Yan Chengyu pulled the person into his arms.

He wouldn't normally do something like this.

But he could tell that Qu Jianhang often did things in ways that defied common sense.

If he had followed the rules, he probably would have been eliminated in no time.

So many men like her, he won't have a chance then.

Qu Jianhang was pulled by him and sat in his lap.

Qu Jianhang didn't hesitate and hugged his neck, smiling as he looked at him: "What, Secretary Yan, aren't you afraid anymore?"

Yan Chengyu is usually not a talkative person.

He was a tall, imposing man, and usually silent.

At this age, what you possess is a mature charm.

But no matter how outstanding he is, his age is a major drawback.

For a rich man like Qu Jianhang, finding a young, handsome man is an easy task.

Is it not uncommon for wealthy women to be accompanied by 20-year-old athletes?

Yan Chengyu usually believes in doing more and talking less.

So when Qu Jianhang put his arm around his neck and asked that question, he didn't hesitate and kissed him directly.

The signals between mature men and women are actually quite obvious.

Qu Jianhang did not struggle against him, which was tantamount to acquiescing to him continuing.

Yan Chengyu kissed her for the first time.

To be honest, the psychological comfort was greater than the physical comfort.

But when it comes to these things, whether it's kissing or anything else, men seem to be able to do it all on their own, as if they have a natural talent for it.

Although Yan Chengyu didn't love his wife before, it didn't stop him from being a very good kisser.

At least Qu Jianhang was somewhat satisfied.

Moreover, this shows that she at least does not reject Yan Chengyu.

Yan Chengyu led his men back to his own place.

Qu Jianhang said she would not be used to it, but Yan Chengyu said, "No matter what we do, I will serve you. What could you not be used to?"

Sure enough, Yan Chengyu served her so well that she was almost infatuated with him.

Yan Chengyu is a man of action in bed, and doesn't talk much.

But the man's deep breathing was even more alluring.

Yan Chengyu remained on edge, not letting his guard down even as he was captivated by her beauty.

He had originally planned to ask her that very night whether he had passed.

But Qu Jianhang looked very tired and fell asleep immediately.

So Yan Chengyu's heart was in his throat until the next morning.

He was terrified that Qu Jianhang would wake up in the morning and tell him, "You're not qualified, forget it."

Qu Jianhang woke up, and Yan Chengyu handed him a glass of water: "It's warm, drink it slowly."

She drank about half a glass, handed the glass to him, and saw the tension in his eyes.

The two have already done the most intimate things, but their relationship is still not officially defined.

Qu Jianhang guessed what he was nervous about.

She lay down, pulled the blanket up to her chin, and stared at Yan Chengyu with her eyes open.

To be honest, Yan Chengyu's performance exceeded her expectations.

Qu Jianhang is not the type to indulge his selfish desires.

Moreover, over the years, her feelings for her deceased lover have never faded with the passage of time.

Over the years, countless men have confessed their love to her and pursued her in a high-profile manner.

Some people like her simply because she is a person, but many more are drawn to her because of her status as a member of the Qu family.

However, in recent years, those people have been coming for her more often.

After all, she's so good at making money.

Yan Chengyu was not the one with the best conditions.

After all, he used to have a wife and a son.

It should be noted that among those pursuing Qu Jianhang were many talented young men who were not yet married.
