【Big Boss Chapter 6】
On the way As a trusted subordinate of Governor Yan, Lieutenant Li's efficiency is beyond compare.
When Chu Jiao returned home from school the next day, she saw a group of workers coming in and out of the big house next to her house, as if it had a new owner.
On the third day after school, she pushed her bicycle out of the school gate and saw a familiar car.
"...Brother Yan?" The car window was covered with film, and Chu Jiao was a little uncertain, but there was a uniformed captain standing upright next to the car. Chu Jiao remembered that he was the person who followed Yan Zhan.
"I'm on the way, I'll take you home." The car window rolled down, revealing Yan Zhan's handsome face.
"But I rode a car..." After Chu's father passed away, his subordinates also scattered. The huge Chu residence was left with only a loyal old housekeeper, and of course there was no full-time driver. Although there was a car parked in the backyard, Chu Jiao didn't know how to drive
it, so she simply took out the Forever brand bicycle in the warehouse and used it as a means of transportation. Adjutant Li stood beside the car and felt his back tingling. He didn't need to turn around to know that it was his own governor who was staring at him.
He immediately raised a fawning smile and snatched the bicycle from Chu Jiao's hand, "Miss Chu, don't worry, I will definitely deliver your car to your home intact! You are petite and frail, it is safer to ride in a car." He
still has good eyesight.
Yan Zhan retracted his gaze.
The handlebars were firmly held, and in front of her was Lieutenant Li's pitiful and pleading look. Chu Jiao felt amused, but she didn't pretend. She handed the bicycle to Lieutenant Li, opened the door, and sat next to Yan Zhan.
"Thank you, Brother Yan."
"You're welcome," Yan Zhan nodded, "It's my duty."
The girl was wearing a cotton and linen student outfit today, with a buttoned shirt on the upper body and a knee-length black skirt on the lower body. She was very well-behaved. After sitting down, as her body bent, the hem of her skirt shrank slightly upwards, revealing a little bit of her fair skin, which was very eye-catching.
Yan Zhan sat upright, his eyes casually glanced, and immediately retracted as if burned, staring straight ahead, as if the back of the chair in front of him could be stared into flowers.
Chu Jiao let her body lean on the soft leather seat, casually as if she was in her own car. But the host Yan Zhan next to her straightened his back, like a reserved guest.
She was a little amused, with such status, why did he feel so embarrassed?
Yan Zhan suddenly tilted his head, "How is the wound?"
He thought of the whip marks on Chu Jiao's arm that day, and his eyes fell on the girl's exposed skin again.
"Thanks to Brother Yan's medicine." It was originally a small wound, and it scabbed over in two days. Chu Jiao raised her hand and shook it in front of his eyes.
Her wrist was grasped by the man.
Yan Zhan was worried, so he held the girl's hand in front of him and examined it carefully.
"Don't be careless," he said seriously, "You'd better not touch the water these days, otherwise it may leave scars."
The man's palm was dry and warm, and his thumb rubbed the wound gently and attentively. Chu Jiao felt a little itchy.
Her wrist was itchy, and her heart was itchy too.
She teased the man with embarrassment, "But I signed up for the school's "Women's Swimming Club."
In the early years of the Republic of China, with the rise of the women's liberation movement, swimming also became a banner of body liberation and was quite popular in schools.
Swimming is bound to get wet, and you have to wear tight and revealing clothes... He is also a person with higher education and understands women's liberation, but when he thinks that the girl's graceful body will be exposed to the eyes of other men, Yan Zhan becomes uneasy.
He frowned, "You are not allowed to go."
Chu Jiao raised an eyebrow.
As soon as Yan Zhan said this, he felt that his words were too unreasonable and overbearing, and immediately explained, "If you want to learn to swim, I can teach you." He also served in the Beiyang Navy for a while, so swimming is certainly no problem for him.
"Well..." Chu Jiao nodded in a conciliatory manner, "Then I will ask the president for leave first."
Yan Zhan suppressed the words "or you can just quit the company directly" on
his lips. His father's previous nagging emerged in his mind, that you can't be hurried or impatient when pursuing women, and you have to take it slowly.
The carriage became quiet, and the misty atmosphere once again surrounded the two of them.
Yan Zhan continued to stare at the back of the chair, while Chu Jiao turned her head to look out the window.
It seemed that nothing had changed from just now.
Except for the hands clasped between the two.
Yan Zhan seemed to have forgotten, and his big hand still loosely circled the girl's wrist and held it at his side.
Chu Jiao glanced at the man's ears that began to turn red again, and did not pull her hand back. She looked at the prosperous scene passing by outside the car window and smiled softly.
This atmosphere did not last long, because the destination was reached.
"Thank you, Brother Yan, I'm home." Chu Jiao twitched her arm lightly, and Yan Zhan suddenly relaxed.
Sweat appeared on his palms at some point, and Yan Zhan opened the car door for Chu Jiao.
Chu Jiao pushed the door open, turned around and saw Yan Zhan following him down.
"?" Not only did she take advantage of him all the way, but this man also wanted her to invite him to her home?
Chu Jiao thought that this male protagonist was a bit stuffy.
"Hey," Yan Zhan pointed to the mansion next to Chu's house, "I'm home too."
Chu Jiao's eyes widened, and she suddenly felt that this male protagonist was not just a bit stuffy...
but very stuffy.
