Chapter 76 Chapter 76 But he did not choose this easy path. ...

The hall of the hot spring villa is brightly lit with lights.

The walls are covered with art paintings, but it's obvious that the person who arranged them doesn't know much about paintings. Baroque, Impressionist and Memphis art paintings are all placed together.

Or maybe this is also a kind of ingenuity.

Shang Yu and the others sat on both sides of the sofa. Ji Ruixi was the first to stand up after hearing the noise.

But soon her body shook, the sofa sank, and her pretty face turned red and looked a little sad.

When Yan Jiu saw Wen Yunhui preparing to sit over, she took two steps at a time and sat directly between them, with her back to Wen Yunhui.

Shang Yu tugged at his gold-rimmed glasses, wanting to laugh but holding it back, his expression looked very strange for a moment.

I didn't expect that Yan Jiu, who looks so weak, actually has a real personality.

As soon as Ji Ruixi's eyes met Yan Jiu's, she seemed about to cry and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, Xiaojiu. Brother Yuchu told me you were asleep, so I didn't go up to disturb you. Are you okay? Don't pay attention to what people say online."

Ji Ruixi was wearing a high-necked top that was inappropriate for the season. There were traces of crying in her eyes. She was about to fall down when she stood up.

Combined with the ointment the waiter brought, it's not difficult to guess what happened.

Perhaps it is even more serious than originally imagined.

But what Ji Ruixi was thinking about now was that she had not comforted herself in time. Yan Jiu felt sad and his back tensed up a little.

But she couldn't do anything at this moment. Instead, in order for Ji Ruixi to escape, she needed to be calmer.

Yan Jiu held her hand tightly, speaking gently, "It's okay. Chen Yuchu has cleared everything."

When he was talking about him, Chen Yuchu came in from outside.

He was wrapped in the dark night, standing straight in a sports suit, holding Ping An's hand. His handsome face was calm, and it was impossible to tell how this incident had affected him.

The waiter took Ping'an's leash from him and took Ping'an to clean the house.

Yan Jiu turned around and met his gaze, his eyes smiling and his tone rising, "You're back."

Chen Yuchu nodded slightly at her, turned his gaze to Wen Yunhui, and asked slowly, "Move aside, I want to sit next to my wife."

Before Wen Yunhui could react, Shang Yuxian couldn't help laughing.

He was really impressed by this couple.

Everyone was venting their anger on Wen Yunhui.

But I have to say that Wen Yunhui deserved it.

If you want to pursue a girl, just pursue her properly. You don’t say anything clearly and let her guess. Now Ji Ruixi is afraid of him.

Wen Yunhui didn't seem angry at all. He was still as gentle and polite as usual and gave up his seat very gentlemanly.

But when he stood up, he glanced at Ji Ruixi.

This sight made her flinch.

When Chen Yuchu sat down, Yan Jiu leaned towards him unconsciously, smelling the pleasant minty scent on him and a little bit of moisture from outside. She raised her eyes and looked up, with a lot of things she wanted to say, but she felt that it was not a good time or place.

She wanted to ask him if he had been scolded by the elders in his family?

She wanted to ask him what to do if it brought bad consequences to Qingyu Group?

But what she wanted to ask most was why did he do this?

Yan Jiu suddenly realized that the moment she knew what Chen Yuchu had done, she had been secretly expecting something in her heart.

Chen Yuchu glanced at Yan Jiu's white sportswear. Neither of them had any brand logos on them, making them look like a couple's outfit. He raised the corner of his lips and asked in a soothing tone, "Have you had dinner?"

Yan Jiu shook his head, "Not yet, I just went downstairs."

The others hadn't eaten either, so the five of them went to the restaurant together.

During dinner, everyone was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of waiters serving dishes and the clinking of cutlery while eating.

After dinner was over and the waiter brought dessert and tea sets, everyone started talking sporadically.

It was Shang Yu who spoke first, "Yu Chu, is the matter resolved?"

This sentence has two meanings.

One meaning is how to explain to the company. If it affects the company's reputation, it will be difficult to resolve.

Another layer of meaning was how to explain it to the family. After all, the Chen family hadn't decided on an heir yet, so the old man's opinion was still very important. Don't let Chen Baichuan take advantage of the situation. Although it wouldn't have much impact on the outcome, it would still be annoying.

Yan Jiu looked at the orange-scented Babaruya in front of him, but his mind was all on Chen Yuchu, listening carefully.

Chen Yuchu wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin, moistened them with tea, and then responded slowly, "It's all solved."

His gaze swept over Yan Jiu before he looked at Shang Yu. His tone was steady, "We've already caught the person and handed him over to the Legal Department and the Human Resources Department. The Public Relations Department is keeping an eye on the public opinion. They predict that this public opinion will actually benefit the company."

Shangwu curled his lips and said lazily, "Mr. Chen is very famous today. He is a loving couple, the most affectionate among the wealthy..."

As a long-time friend, he found it hard to imagine the word "affectionate" appearing in his friend. He originally thought that the person who took relationships most seriously among the three of them was Wen Yunhui.

I really didn't expect it.

There are actually two love saints.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiu raised his eyes to look at Chen Yuchu, and suddenly his gaze met, and the tips of his ears turned red.

Chen Yuchu's lips curled up slightly, and he said nonchalantly, "It's okay."

The orange-scented Babaruya had a refreshing sweet aroma. Yan Jiu had eaten most of it. When she put down her cutlery, she heard Chen Yuchu's unhurried voice.

"We're leaving first. You guys should get some rest early tonight."

I have to go back to Juancheng early tomorrow morning and need enough sleep.

Yan Jiu was a little worried about Ji Ruixi, but she had something to ask Chen Yuchu.

Chen Yuchu noticed her hesitation and leaned over to her ear, his voice clear and audible, "Don't worry, I've talked to him."

Yan Jiu's brows relaxed a little, and she stared at him with her clear eyes blinking without blinking. Her pupils sparkled in the light.

She admired Chen Yuchu so much for being able to accomplish so many things in such a short time and in such an orderly manner.

Their actions were all seen by the three people behind them, and Shang Yu made a "tsk" sound.

Ji Ruixi looked at their backs with envy. She had known Chen Yuchu for a long time, but he had always been very cold and even reluctant to let her call him "Brother Yuchu".

Now that he is married, he has become so gentle, and his patience is only with his wife.

She envied Yan Jiu, but was also happy for her.

He caught a glimpse of Wen Yunhui out of the corner of his eye, then suddenly retracted his gaze, his eyelashes fluttering rapidly.

I heard that the Wen family has already arranged a marriage for him.

She didn't want to be around him.

When Yan Jiu heard Shang Yu's "tsk" sound, her cheeks suddenly turned red. She could feel that she had been a little attached to Chen Yuchu recently, like a baby kangaroo, wishing she could crawl into his pocket and never be separated.

She couldn't help swallowing, trying to suppress the embarrassment that was spreading.

When he reached the door, Yan Jiu pursed his lips and spoke slowly, "Did your family blame you?"

She had asked Yong Meiru this question, but she knew that her grandmother was probably trying to comfort her rather than telling the truth.

When she asked this question at this moment, her dark eyes revealed a heartache that she herself was not aware of, and her fingers curled up.

Chen Yuchu stared deeply into her pursed lips, wishing he had a paintbrush so he could paint a smile for her. His voice was calm and gentle, "No. Public opinion is moving in a positive direction. How could my family blame me?"

But when he first announced it, he didn't know whether the outcome would be good or bad.

Yan Jiu lowered his eyes slightly, the corners of his eyes flushed red, and his voice was erratic, as if it would fade away at any moment. "But, Chen Yuchu, why did you do this?"

His deep black eyes completely engulfed Yan Jiu. His profile was hidden in the dim light, making it difficult to see his expression. He calmly asked, "We are husband and wife. Isn't it my duty to do this?"

yes.

They are husband and wife.

Grandma Yong also said the same thing, because they are husband and wife, it should be made public.

Yan Jiu's breathing stagnated for a moment, he gently rubbed his fingertips, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

She collected herself and opened the door.

Yan Jiu knew that she was becoming greedy, and she didn't want this answer from Chen Yuchu.

It seems that no matter who his wife is, he will give her patience and tenderness, and he will protect her.

But this answer is impeccable.

On the contrary, she was obviously moved and distressed by Chen Yuchu's behavior at first, so why did her heart now seem to be gripped by an invisible hand?

Yan Jiu felt that he was too contradictory.

This intense feeling coursed through her.

A hint of helplessness flashed across her soft and quiet eyes.

So what answer did she want?

Yan Jiu didn't want to continue to indulge in an unanswered question.

Chen Yuchu's gaze fell on the corners of her red eyes, and her watery pupils were filled with helplessness.

At first, he thought Yan Jiu felt guilty for triggering a series of events that led to him being blamed by his family.

Although it wasn't her fault at all, she didn't have to take the blame on herself.

But Chen Yuchu soon realized that this was not entirely true.

She asked why.

This means that she wants to get this answer in her heart.

He has an excellent memory and can remember every word he said.

After reviewing the situation, he didn't think he had said anything he shouldn't have said.

Why would Yan Jiu be sad because of his answer?

Rarely, a hint of doubt flashed in his usually calm black eyes.

There was no doubt that Chen Yuchu's IQ was top-notch. Even someone as arrogant as Shang Yu or as calm as Wen Yunhui would trust Chen Yuchu's choices more than their own, because he was always right.

In Chen Yuchu's life so far, wine has been the only problem.

He had no emotional experience, so no matter how smart he was, he was still caught in an intractable confusion.

The suite fell into a sticky silence.

Suddenly, the wind blew through the window, making a crackling sound.

Yan Jiu came back to her senses and convinced herself that she couldn't live the twisted life anymore. Now everything was moving in a good direction and she couldn't fall into the whirlpool of thoughts anymore.

How could Chen Yuchu understand something that even she herself couldn't figure out? He couldn't be the worm in her stomach.

So she smiled softly and said calmly, "I'll go take a shower first."

Chen Yuchu's slightly cool fingertips fell on the back of her hand, and his magnetic voice was full of seriousness, "Yan Jiu, wait for me and let me think about it."

He thought, maybe what he did today was not because Yan Jiu was his wife.

From the safest perspective, Yan Jiu's suggestion is correct.

But he did not choose this easy path.

Yan Jiu paused for a second, then looked at him with sparkling eyes. Her tone was gentle but serious. "Chen Yuchu, you don't have to be like this. I'm very grateful to you. You've always been so kind. You shouldn't be burdened with my emotions."

After saying this, she raised her foot and walked forward.

Just as she took a step, her hand was firmly grasped. She met those deep and dark eyes and was momentarily dazed.
