Chapter 19 Chapter 19 It turns out that I was also secretly looking forward to it. ...
Her beautiful long eyelashes were raised up, and there was a wheelchair not far from her bed.
There was a note stuck on the book by the bed, with four words written in a vigorous handwriting: "Call me when you wake up."
Yan Jiu lowered her eyelashes. After a night, she only felt a faint pain in her toes. She first stretched out her intact right foot, made sure her center of gravity was stable, and then jumped forward with one foot.
When she was about to take the second step, she looked up inadvertently and saw a man standing not far away.
It was rare for him to wear loose pajamas during the day. He stood tall and slender, with a unique sense of dashing and romanticism. Although he was dressed so simply, it was difficult to conceal his noble aura.
Yan Jiu felt his heart skip a beat, and his standing posture became unstable for a moment, and he lost his balance and fell to the side.
She thought to herself, "It's over."
This will probably take a hundred days to recover from the damage.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into a broad chest. Like a drowning person desperately grabbing a life-saving straw, she hugged Chen Yuchu with both hands very tightly. Her soft lips just happened to stick to the sharp Adam's apple, and she could even feel it rolling up and down.
What's even worse is that she stuck out her pink tongue and licked it.
Yan Jiu was so embarrassed that her whole face turned red, but she didn't dare to let go of Chen Yuchu. If she did, she might really fall and break her bones. She lowered her head and huddled in the man's arms, revealing only her jet-black hair and the rouge-red tips of her ears.
To those who don't know, it looks like a couple in love hugging each other sweetly.
Chen Yuchu lowered his eyes to look at his wife, who was tucked away in his arms like an ostrich. His throat suddenly itched, a feeling of strength radiating from the kissed area to every part of his body. He breathed in the sweet fragrance emanating from her dark hair, and a faint smile crossed his lips. She was truly too well-behaved. If only he could hold her still. But thinking of Yan Jiu's injured foot, he spoke calmly, "I'll carry you up."
Without waiting for Yan Jiu's response, he put one hand on her waist and the other hand on her knees, and easily carried her into the wheelchair.
Yan Jiu kept her head down the whole time, as if as long as she turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window, she could pretend nothing had happened. Her expression was full of regret.
How could he do such a thing?
Even though she hadn't eaten breakfast, she wasn't that hungry. It seemed like even though she was injured, her lustful desires hadn't diminished.
Could it be that the dream was still playing tricks on her? Yan Jiugui was suddenly reminded of the dream from last night. She and Chen Yuchu were both frantic, like they were competing to see who would be the first to be swallowed, devouring each other ravenously. The painful and itchy touch seemed to still dance on her skin, twitching her heartstrings inch by inch.
Yan Jiu didn't dare to recall any more, and the last scene appeared in his mind.
The ground was in a mess.
The sunlight sprinkled on the smooth wooden floor. In the warm light, Yan Jiu's fair and translucent skin looked as if it had been scorched, adding a bit of gorgeousness to her originally pure and gentle appearance.
Her long, thick eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. She looked up quietly and found that the scratches she had made on Chen Yuchu's soft pajamas had left marks.
What a tremendous amount of strength that takes.
Yan Jiu was still struggling with his conscience when Chen Yuchu said in a deep voice, "I'll push you to go have breakfast."
After being interrupted, Yan Jiu's embarrassment dissipated a little. Knowing that Chen Yuchu was behind her, she dared to look up and forward. She swallowed, her voice slightly hoarse from not drinking water all night, "I'll do it myself, you do your thing."
Yan Jiu knew Chen Yuchu was always busy, even requiring phone calls for appointments. As someone who worked remotely, asking him to do these chores seemed like an overkill. Besides, her foot was only injured; her hand was still intact. This wheelchair was well-made and high-tech, so she could easily push it herself.
"Grandma will worry."
Chen Yuchu seemed to understand completely what she was thinking, and he could always hit her accurately. What she was afraid of was that her grandmother would know, but she also knew that since her grandmother lived here, it was inevitable.
So Yan Jiu obediently remained silent.
Chen Yuchu's grip was steady, and the wheelchair's construction provided built-in cushioning, so Yan Jiu could barely feel the movement beneath her. Watching the floors flash on the elevator screen, she began to think about how to explain this to her grandmother, her lips subconsciously pursed.
When Chen Yuchu pushed her out of the elevator, Yan Jiu still didn't know what to say.
Yong Meiru spotted her with her sharp eyes and stood up in shock, putting down her cutlery with a thud. She quickly walked over to Yan Jiu, her face full of undisguised worry, her voice trembling with anxiety, "Xiaojiu, what's wrong with you?"
Facing Chen Yuchu, Yong Meiru was so gentle, "Have you called a doctor?"
Chen Yuchu replied calmly, "I've asked the doctor to wait. He'll come over after Yan Jiu finishes his meal."
"What are you waiting for?" Yong Meiru wanted to grab Chen Yuchu's ear and ask him if he understood what was important. However, she had to maintain her image as an elder, and her grandson was already grown up and married. So she hesitated for a moment and said, "Eat while I eat, or I won't be able to rest assured."
Seeing Yong Meiru's nervous look, Yan Jiu felt uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to tell her about the injury he got in the middle of the night. "It's okay, grandma, it's just a minor injury."
Yong Meiru didn't believe it and insisted on seeing a doctor first.
The doctor who came was a female doctor named Xia. She asked Yan Jiu to eat breakfast while she examined him. Her delicate hands unwrapped the layers of gauze wrapped around Chen Yuchu. After patiently examining him for a long time, she stood up and replied, "The wound has been treated very well. You only need to disinfect and bandage it every day from now on."
After Dr. Xia left, Yan Jiu looked at Yong Meiru's unhappy face and acted coquettishly towards her, "Grandma, I told you it's okay."
Yong Meiru glared at her, "What if it leaves a scar?"
Then he turned around and told Chen Yuchu, "Take good care of Yan Jiu."
Chen Yuchu had already changed into a three-piece suit. The well-tailored dark suit looked elegant on him. The Windsor knot was tied neatly, and his trousers were straight and slender. When he raised his hand, a silver light flashed on his wrist, and he exuded an innate nobility.
Hearing Yong Meiru's words, Chen Yuchu nodded slightly, his voice magnetic and gentle: "I will."
Yan Jiu ate her breakfast leisurely. The warm light in the restaurant made her look very gentle. She raised the glass with her slender wrist and swallowed the juice slowly. She listened to her grandmother and Chen Yuchu talking slowly. This quiet picture was so beautiful.
She realized belatedly that today was Monday.
But Chen Yuchu did not go to work in the company.
Yan Jiu raised her eyes slightly and looked at Chen Yuchu who was talking patiently to Yong Meiru. His brows were calm, without the coldness and loneliness that she had when she first met him. She pursed her beautiful lips.
Sensing Yan Jiu's gaze, Chen Yuchu's sharp, cold, white Adam's apple rolled, and he spoke in a steady tone, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Hearing this, Yong Meiru looked at Yan Jiu with concern.
Yu Yinghui also took a step forward, her face tense.
Seeing so many people caring about him, Yan Jiu felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and every part of his body felt warm. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he asked softly, "Aren't you going to the company today?"
Chen Yuchu's deep brows relaxed slightly, and he spoke slowly, "I'll be working from home today."
"Oh." Yan Jiu was speechless again and took a sip of juice.
Yong Meiru watched Yan Jiu and Chen Yuchu's overly restrained communication, feeling anxious and wanting to speak for them. She tilted her head and looked at Yu Yinghui, took a sip of tea, and at the same time, she already knew what to say in her mind.
She slowly put down her teacup and said to Chen Yuchu, "Xiaojiu is injured. You know it's a good thing for you to stay home with her. Let go of the company's affairs. I know you're worried about handing them over to Baichuan, so it's the same for letting your subordinates do it. Why don't you just not go to the company this week? It's a good opportunity since you just returned home. Spend some time with Xiaojiu."
Hearing this, Yan Jiu looked up in surprise, her ears already tinged with pink. She had long suspected that Chen Yuchu had stayed home because of her, and when she finally got confirmation from Yong Meiru, she felt a surge of unspeakable emotions.
It is very similar to the candied haws we ate when we were young. It is not that sweet at first, but when you put it in your mouth, the rock sugar melts and the sweetness fills your entire mouth.
Her translucent, porcelain-white cheeks were slightly hot. She was stared at by Yong Meiru and Yu Yinghui. She blinked her thick eyelashes uncomfortably and said helplessly, "It's just a minor injury. I can take care of myself."
"The company is busy," Yan Jiu paused for a moment before mumbling the two words, "Yu Chu should go to the company to feel more at ease."
Yan Jiu might not have realized it himself, but her voice lowered unconsciously when she called his name, and her gentle voice had a certain tenderness to it.
Chen Yuchu stared at her bewildered face, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I will stay home with my wife, and it would be better if Baichuan could gain some experience with this project."
Yan Jiu originally expected that a workaholic like Chen Yuchu would definitely take advantage of her words to return to the company, but she didn't expect him to say such words. She was so surprised that she almost bit the corner of her lip.
Chen Yuchu sat quietly in the chair, the light shining against his deep features, and there was no trace of joking on his noble and calm face.
Well, he wasn't the type to joke.
Before marrying Chen Yuchu, Yan Jiu knew that, aside from the old man, Chen Yuchu was the most unpredictable of the Chen family members. He was highly capable at work, and devoted almost all his attention to it. He was a man of his word, ruthless, and intelligent.
Yan Hongsheng had warned her not to disturb Chen Yuchu's work, to be sensible and gentle, to give him the warmth of a family but not to restrain him.
Constraint?
Yan Jiu had scoffed at the term at the time. People like Chen Yuchu were like the wind, fleeting and traceless. Even when absent, their presence was strong, yet they wouldn't stop for anyone.
The project Chen Yuchu is working on is completely different from that of others. The work he is in charge of represents the power he holds in the Chen family. How could he let it go?
Even a fool with no ability like Chen Baichuan knows that he has to control two companies and punch in several times a week, let alone someone with ambition and aspirations like Chen Yuchu.
Yan Jiu was very aware of this and never thought that he could influence Chen Yuchu.
So when she heard with her own ears that Chen Yuchu was going to stay at home for her and hand over the project to Chen Baichuan, she was completely stunned.
The shock was hard to conceal in her clear eyes, which looked like glass beads and were extremely beautiful.
It was not until this moment that she realized that she was also secretly looking forward to it.
