Chapter 85 Chapter 85 It seems that a storm is coming.

When he finally arrived at the door of Chen Yuchu's office, Yan Jiu felt a little nervous.

She didn't know what to say when she saw him.

It was clearly something she wanted to do, but Chen Yuchu took the responsibility.

He also took on the pain.

In her heart, she actually didn't quite understand why Chen Yuchu did this.

For others, this is a difficult dilemma: choosing between a wife and a brother.

It's just like a test of human nature: "If your wife and mother fall into the water at the same time, who would you save?"

Presupposed questions make people suspect that the person who asks them has bad intentions, but when things really happen, the entanglement and pain are real.

But Chen Yuchu is so smart that he can completely avoid it.

He could obviously deceive her, or he could persuade her with sweet words to believe that it was right for Ji Ruixi to stay here.

But, just like when she was attacked by scandals and rumors.

Chen Yuchu once again chose to stand by her side.

The moment he transferred 4% of the group's shares, she just felt confused and unnecessary.

But in the days that followed, she finally understood what he meant by "sense of security."

He put into practice everything he said with his actions.

He said he wanted to give her a sense of security, and he never let her hesitate or doubt for a moment.

Yan Jiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, thinking of Chen Yuchu saying that everything he did was not because she was his wife, but because he loved her.

She pursed her lips and asked herself in her heart.

So do you love him?

Yan Jiu didn't know the answer.

Obviously Chen Yuchu was the rational person, but she felt that she was cold and poor.

She was confused and unsure.

She doesn't know what it means to love someone.

If Chen Yuchu's behavior is used as a benchmark, she can't do it.

So, doesn't she love Chen Yuchu?

She doesn't know either.

As my thoughts were wandering, the office door suddenly opened.

Yan Jiu took a big step back. In a panic, her left foot stepped on her right foot, her balance was broken, and she fell backward uncontrollably.

Her heart sank in mid-air, and the feeling of weightlessness made her close her eyes, waiting for the pain of hitting the floor.

The next second, she fell into a warm and broad embrace.

"You trust me so much? You even closed your eyes."

A magnetic voice sounded in her ears.

Yan Jiu seemed to have just woken up from a dream, his eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, and he slowly opened his eyes. His clear eyes were moist because of nervousness.

The familiar woody scent lingered at the tip of her nose. Her blood surged slightly beneath her fair skin, and the tips of her ears turned a light cherry red.

Chen Yuchu patted her thin back soothingly, with a questioning look in his eyes, "What were you thinking about just now? Why were you so lost in thought?"

Yan Jiu finally recovered and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Chen Yuchu raised his eyes and looked towards the office door. Yan Jiu followed his gaze and heard him say slowly, "Surveillance."

"oh."

Yan Jiu responded calmly at first, then immediately couldn't control his expression. Finally, after looking at the surveillance video, he endured it.

Did Chen Yuchu see the conflicted expression on her face at the door just now?

Maybe the security department saw it too...

Almost fell down.

So embarrassing.

Chen Yuchu seemed to know what she was thinking and said calmly, "Only I can see it."

Yan Jiu finally felt relieved and followed him into the office.

Chen Yuchu's dark eyes were narrowed, and she did not answer his two questions just now.

After a moment of silence, he poured a cup of tea for Yan Jiu and asked casually, "Why are you here?"

Yan Jiu looked at his calm and indifferent face and did not apologize to him again, otherwise it would seem too distant. Instead, he asked the question he wanted to know most, "Does Wen Yunhui know?"

Chen Yuchu stayed in the study last night because he didn't want her to worry, but his perceptive wife still noticed it. He looked back calmly, tucked her hair behind her ear, and said in a gentle voice, "I understand."

"Then he..." Yan Jiu pursed his lips, trying to keep his voice flat, "Did he do anything to you?"

She looked at Chen Yuchu carefully, as if she wanted to perform an MRI on him with her eyes.

"Wen Yunhui rushed into the office and almost hit me."

Chen Yuchu spoke calmly, but Yan Jiu was almost ready to lift up his shirt to check it thoroughly. Fortunately, his next words stopped her.

"Shang Yu stood in front of me and finally persuaded him to stop."

Glancing at Yan Jiu's worried eyes, Chen Yuchu recounted the entire story, "Yun Hui appears to be calm and collected, but he is actually the craziest among us."

"But he should have listened to what I said. How they develop from now on is beyond our control."

Yan Jiu couldn't hide his surprise. He hadn't expected the story to be so complicated. He couldn't help but say, "Who could have known that someone as smart as him wouldn't be so talkative? Xixi must have misunderstood that he was trying to have a two-timing affair and make her the third party. They were childhood sweethearts, and to have ended up like this, Wen Yunhui deserved it."

"I hope there will be a good ending between them. If Xixi doesn't forgive him, I hope he can let Xixi go, stop pestering her, and let her find her own happiness."

After sighing, she asked again: "Is Shang Yu's injury okay?"

"I have a minor injury on the corner of my mouth. I have received preliminary treatment and am now sleeping at home."

Chen Yuchu raised his watch, the cold light on the dial flickering. He said slowly, "I have a video conference soon. I'll ask my secretary to bring you some dessert and fruit. How about you wait here until I get off work and we go home together?"

He had mentioned before that Yan Jiu should accompany him to work, but she refused without a second thought. Now he mentioned it again, and although his tone was steady, there were swirls in his black pupils, and even his heart was in his throat.

Yan Jiu didn't notice the change in his eyes. She came in a hurry and was in no mood because of worry. The corners of her lips were a little chapped at this time.

She took a sip of tea, her pale lips shimmering with a wet sheen. "Okay."

His heart returned to its original place because of her words. After a while, his heart slowly swelled up, as if it had received its food.

The secretary quickly brought desserts, fruits, and a glass of ginger lemonade.

Yan Jiu thanked him politely and ate quietly, not making any sound for fear of disturbing Chen Yuchu's meeting.

Afterwards, she wandered around the office aimlessly. It was decorated in a desolate black and white tone. There were some documents and books in the cabinets. The names of the books were obviously boring.

At this moment, the luxurious office seemed like a golden prison cell to Yan Jiu.

She knew that every item here was expensive, and the pen placed casually on the table was a six-digit limited edition of Montblanc.

But she really felt that this office was not as good as her own pottery studio.

At least every piece of artifact in her studio is made by her. Although not perfect, she has poured her heart and soul into them.

And this office is full of cold luxury brands.

In this kind of environment, dealing with boring documents every day, how can people have such strong energy?

Yan Jiu unconsciously locked his gaze on Chen Yuchu and fell into deep thought.

Chen Yuchu naturally noticed the scrutiny surrounding her, which was wrapped in her unique warmth and could not be ignored.

His black eyes suddenly became deep, and his cold white finger bones fell on the collar of his shirt and pulled it.

Chen Yuchu is always calm and focused during meetings and never makes such small movements.

At this moment, the eyes of countless participants who were already paying attention to his every move flashed at the same time.

Some people's fingertips began to dance quietly, sending messages in private groups.

"Did anyone see it?"

"Of course. Honestly, the boss is so handsome. Every move he makes is just so sexy. It's my style."

"Even if it's the style you like, it doesn't matter. Who told you not to work hard when your boss was single? Now he's taken. Thinking about it anymore is just wishful thinking."

"How do you know Cynthia hasn't tried hard? Hahahaha, I've seen her confess to her boss."

"Please, stop publicizing my embarrassing story. I'm still in the group! I'm going to be embarrassed anyway, so I might as well tell it myself. My boss didn't even change his expression at the time. He didn't even say to me, 'Cynthia, you're a good girl, it's just that we're not suitable.' He just turned around and walked away, throwing the letter in the trash in front of me. Me: ??? SOS??? You won't even give me a Nice Guy Card?"

"Oh~ The boss is so cruel to a good girl like you."

"Don't think I can't hear your gloating. There are plenty of fish in the sea. After losing him, I gained my current boyfriend, a 1.88-meter-tall athlete who is seven years younger than me~"

"I can only see the deep reluctance in your words while pretending to be calm."

"Hey! Look up! You guys are having so much fun chatting, where's the boss?"

"I just stood up, and then I disappeared."

Chen Yuchu's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his long legs tightly wrapped in trousers moved forward carefully, and a smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

Just a few seconds later, when he looked up, he found that Yan Jiu had fallen asleep hugging the back of the sofa.

Her slender back was facing him, her long black hair fell down, the hem of her skirt tilted upwards to reveal her white calves and ankles, and her breathing was steady.

He brought a thin blanket from the lounge and gently covered her with it. His fingertips moved down and carefully took off her high heels and placed them on the off-white carpet.

Under the bright light, his deep gaze remained on the bony ankle for a few seconds, his sharp Adam's apple rolled, and he leaned over slightly to place a kiss on the porcelain-white skin.

The feather-light kiss burned Yan Jiu's skin, but she was unaware of it, as if she were a sleeping beauty, quiet and holy.

And her servant kissed her ankles devoutly.

"Ohhhh! Look, the boss is back again? What was he doing? Why is he so fast?"

"So fast? I'm going to think it's wrong! You're making me feel awkward, like I'm not a pure person."

"Then you're really not pure! I'm asking if the boss went to get some water? Or to the bathroom? Where did you think he went? Although I didn't get his dick, I believe he can't be that bad."

"I heard that the more attractive a person is, the less likely they are to be attractive that way. Otherwise, why didn't the boss even have a girlfriend before? He must be afraid that she would tell others about him."

"That's possible. Nowadays, what rich person at this age is still so chaste? He hasn't had any previous relationships, and the official announcement is that he's married. Didn't you notice? After the boss came back just now, his eyes were different, so gentle that it didn't seem real."

"I'm heartbroken."

"Me too... plus one."

"Filter gone... plus two."

Yan Jiu was awakened by the sudden ringing of his cell phone.

The thin blanket on her body fell on the carpet. She opened her sleepy eyes and moved her gaze to the man holding the phone. His thin lips were tightly pursed, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was solemn.

After a while, a slightly cold voice sounded: "Got it."

Meeting Yan Jiu's gaze, his expression softened a bit, and his voice became warm and deep, "My uncle is back, and grandma wants us to go back to the old house for dinner tonight."

The last time I went to the old house was Chen Yuchu’s mother’s birthday.

Yan Jiu's thoughts were a little dazed. Isn't Chen Yuchu's uncle Chen Xiuyun?

It was also on that day that she learned from Sheng Jingyao that Yu Xue and Chen Xiuyun were childhood sweethearts and there might be something going on between them.

Hasn't he been out of touch with worldly affairs for many years? Why did he suddenly come back?

Thinking of Chen Yuchu's expression just now, she inexplicably felt that Chen Xiujun's return this time would not be a good thing.

Outside the glass window, the originally bright sky suddenly changed color, dark clouds pressed down, and suddenly, several beams of light flashed by.

It seems like a storm is coming.
