Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Some things should not be rushed, but some things...
As Dr. Xia said, Yan Jiu's wound healed very quickly.
There were only a few marks left on the jade-like feet. Looking closely, it looked like a perfect and noble porcelain was destroyed, which made people sigh.
Yu Yinghui looked somewhat disappointed. Yong Meiru immediately sent for ointment upon learning of the situation. Yan Jiu herself didn't seem to mind, as it wasn't like anyone would even lift her foot to look at it.
However, in order not to worry Yong Meiru and Yu Yinghui, she still applied the ointment obediently, once in the morning and once in the evening.
The ointment exudes the scent of lavender. The white long fingers gently twist the milky white ointment, lean over and rub it slowly, and a slight burning feeling comes from the toes.
After receiving the information, Chen Yuchu returned to the room and caught a glimpse of Yan Jiu bending over, revealing her snow-white waist skin, with her long black hair like silk loose. Under the dim light, her deep eyebrows had become less sharp. He did not disturb her and went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.
Yan Jiu's hands were sticky after applying the ointment. She put on her slippers and walked to the bathroom. As soon as she opened the door, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure. A white shirt was casually placed in the wall-mounted clothes basket. The man had broad and smooth back muscles and a lean waist. She didn't expect there was someone in the bathroom, and her thick eyelashes trembled.
Sensing the movement, the man turned around slowly, his upper chest exposed to the air, and his waist and abdomen clearly defined.
Yan Jiu felt a strange feeling in his heart. He looked away unnaturally, his ears turning red. He spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's whistle, "I didn't know there was anyone inside."
Chen Yuchu looked very calm and had no intention of shielding himself. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said "hmm".
Yan Jiu took a half step back, trying to keep his voice steady, "Then I'll go out first."
As she stepped out of the door, a lazy voice came from behind her, "It doesn't matter if you know."
?
What does Chen Yuchu mean?
Yan Jiu blinked, thinking uncertainly.
Did Chen Yuchu think that she went in deliberately to peek at him?
A blush rose on Yan Jiu's face and his chest heaved violently because he was angry.
She's not that boring.
She bit her lower lip with her neat teeth, changed out of her pajamas into her home clothes, and slid downstairs in her slippers to see Ping An. The blush on her face slowly faded when she touched Ping An's little dog head.
When Yan Jiu first rescued Ping An, the people at the pet hospital were very grateful to her, thinking that she had saved a life, and told her that many people would actually give up because of the high cost of treatment.
But that's not the case.
At that time, she hated herself very much. She hated herself for finally following her father's will, and she developed a world-weary mood.
But that day, she suddenly wanted to reconcile with herself.
Because she was born in the Yan family, she can afford the medical expenses and subsequent long-term treatment costs.
Yan Jiu took Ping An outside to interact for a while. The vegetation coverage rate of Jianan Villa is very high. Ping An likes the ball picking game the most. Yan Jiu only needs to throw the ball on the spot and does not require strenuous exercise.
Watching Ping An pick up the ball and return to her again and again, a smile appeared in Yan Jiu's beautiful eyes.
It wasn't that she saved Ping An, but that Ping An healed her.
Chen Yuchu's long arms cut through the mist, and he stepped onto the off-white handmade carpet. He picked up a clean white bath towel, and water droplets slid down his firm and undulating chest, lingering on the well-defined texture. He slowly wiped it off with the bath towel, then put on a black bathrobe and tied it casually.
When I walked into the master bedroom, I didn't see Yan Jiu.
There was some movement outside the open window. He fixed his dark eyes and slowly walked to the window, facing a large lawn. He saw at a glance that Yan Jiu was throwing the ball in the air and Ping An rushed out like a cheetah. A group of people stood beside her, cheering one after another.
"Safety, come on!"
"Great! Brave little dog, go ahead!"
Even though I couldn't see Yan Jiu's expression clearly from the distance, I could still tell her emotions from her ups and downs. At this moment, she was relaxed and natural.
She seemed to have taken off her disguise in front of him and was completely being herself.
The real her.
In the dim yellow light, the deep outline was softened a little. He stood quietly for a while before slowly shifting his gaze back.

After playing for about half an hour, Ping An began to breathe out with his pink tongue. A servant brought a basin of water for Ping An to drink. Yu Yinghui handed Yan Jiu a warm towel and said, "Wipe it off."
Yan Jiu barely moved and wasn't sweating, but she still took the towel and wiped her face, "Thank you, Aunt Hui."
"Thank you for what?"
It wasn't their first day at work, and they had come into contact with all kinds of people, but they had never met anyone who was easier to talk to than Yan Jiu.
When someone broke Yan Jiu's newly made porcelain, she asked if the other person was injured; when she noticed that the driver had a cold, she gave him paid leave; she would approve leave for anyone who asked for something.
Too mild-tempered.
Sometimes she even fears that her husband will bully her.
There was no need to wear a leash in their own territory. Yu Yinghui called Ping An over and said to Yan Jiu, "It's getting late. I'll take Ping An back to the room. You should rest."
Under the bright yellow street lights, Yan Jiu's skin was as white as snow, and she nodded slightly.
Only when Yan Jiu disappeared did people start to murmur.
"The wife is such a good person, why is the husband not moved at all?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The lady is beautiful and gentle, who can not like her?"
"I have a friend who works for the Sheng family. He said that the master and the eldest daughter of the Sheng family were childhood sweethearts and he was not happy with this marriage at all, which is why he let his wife stay here alone for three months."
"Whose side are you on? The husband must like his wife, otherwise why would he immediately give up work and not even go to the company when his wife was injured? Can you imagine this happening in the past?"
The servants chattered, one after another, and no one could convince the other. Until Yu Yinghui settled Ping An, she glared at him with her sharp eyes, "Why don't you go back to work?"
After the servants had dispersed, she murmured, "Of course the master likes his wife."

When she was about to reach the bedroom door, Yan Jiu suddenly hesitated for a moment. Since her grandmother had returned home, could she move back to the second bedroom?
"Why don't you go in?"
A refreshing minty scent came from behind her, covering her nose all at once, with an irresistible sharpness. Chen Yuchu was wearing a black nightgown with the middle belt tied loosely, casually and lazily revealing his well-defined skin texture, and even his tone was a bit leisurely.
Yan Jiu only took a quick glance and quickly retracted his gaze to look ahead, carefully negotiating, "Can I move to the second bedroom?"
"No," Chen Yuchu's eyes darkened, his crow-like eyelashes drooping into a shadow, and he said word by word, "Unless we divorce."
Yan Jiu's eyelids twitched. She didn't expect Chen Yuchu to refuse so decisively without any room for negotiation.
Her pale pink lips opened and closed again. She wasn't sure what he was thinking, so she didn't say anything.
His slender finger bones grasped the door handle and turned it gently, motioning Yan Jiu to go in first.
Then he followed behind, his tall figure casting a shadow, their shadows overlapping on the floor, and the refreshing scent of mint followed him everywhere.
The door slowly closed behind him.
The deep voice was close at hand, "If we divorce, Chen Ping'an will be mine."
Yan Jiu turned around in shock. Chen Yuchu was too late to stop. Her nose hit his bare chest hard, and tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her cheeks, her nose red, and asked, "Why?"
Why did they divide Ping An during the divorce? Wasn’t Ping An adopted by her?
Why should it belong to Chen Yuchu?
Yan Jiu breathed a little faster, his cheeks puffed up, "If you count, Ping An's last name should be Yan, right? And you clearly promised me before that you would give me time."
Chen Yuchu was originally a very patient person. In the business world, he could always accurately deliver the most critical blow to his enemies.
His dark gaze glanced at Yan Jiu's round almond eyes, and he thought of the affectionate look in her ex-boyfriend's eyes when he secretly looked at her on that rainy night. No matter how he thought about it, it was irritating.
Some things should not be rushed, but some things must be kept to the bottom line.
For example, where to sleep at night.
Yan Jiu didn't know what Chen Yuchu was thinking, so he asked again hurriedly, "Why aren't you talking?"
Her tone sounded aggrieved and helpless, and her eyelashes trembled, as if tears would fall in the next second.
Chen Yuchu leaned over and whispered in her ear, his voice calm, "Given Grandma's temper, she might come back for a second time. I don't want my family to think that I can't even handle my marriage."
The magnetic voice was very close, and his hot breath hit her earlobe. Yan Jiu took a step back, glanced at him, and saw that Chen Yuchu had a serious expression. She thought that what he said made sense.
Not only Chen Yuchu, but she also didn't want others to know that they were sleeping in separate rooms.
She frowned, but nodded and said, "You're right."
Yan Jiu's sparkling eyes were misty. He rubbed his fingertips gently and mustered up the courage to continue asking, "Then what about the ownership of Ping An that you just mentioned?"
Chen Yuchu knew Yan Jiu wouldn't move out again. His deep features softened by the warm light, and he asked calmly, "Didn't you read the agreement? The lawyer asked about the family's financial situation and concluded that although Ping An is a companion pet, it's necessary to have an agreement on the division of property."
Yan Jiu listened to Chen Yuchu in a daze. She had asked her lawyer to look at the agreement. The lawyer thought there was nothing wrong with it and told her that it was a relatively generous agreement he had seen in his career. Even if they really divorced, she could get a lot.
Hearing the lawyer's affirmation, Yan Jiu took a quick look at the thick agreement. In addition to this villa, Chen Yuchu would also give her several properties and shares in a branch company.
Since it didn't do her any harm, she signed it.
Now, hearing Chen Yuchu's words, she was a little confused. She knew that he would not speak without a purpose, and in an instant, she was completely overwhelmed by regret.
Even if the lawyer said there was no problem, she should have looked at it carefully again.
Chen Yuchu was looking at her with his eyes lowered.
She has a gentle personality, but can be a bit stubborn at times. However, she is also very introverted and always blames herself first when encountering problems.
Chen Yuchu admitted that he had set a trap for Yan Jiu. Knowing that she cared about Ping An, he asked the lawyer to write this line in the vast sea of information.
Most lawyers don’t notice, and if they do, they don’t care.
As for why we do this.
Maybe he doesn't want a divorce.
Chen Yuchu knew he had the initiative. He stared at Yan Jiu's pale face and the tears in his eyelids, and said slowly, "Anyway, you haven't thought about divorce, right?"
"Yeah." Yan Jiu answered him subconsciously.
Although she was not willing to get married, she knew that divorce was not that easy.
There were too many things involved in marriage, and it affected the interests and reputations of both families. Not to mention that a family like the Chen family wouldn't let her divorce easily, her father would also never agree. He had finally gotten into the Chen family, so how could he be willing to do that?
If the two families were to quarrel, no one would benefit. The first person to suffer would be herself.
As Chen Yuchu said, not only would she not divorce, she would also firmly protect this marriage. But she was a little out of breath, always feeling that she was following Chen Yuchu's rhythm.
She took a deep breath and said, "Ping An wants to take my last name."
Yan Jiu couldn't understand why Chen Yuchu, with his endless workload and company affairs, had the time to dwell on a dog and its surname. Did he feel that anything that entered the Chen family would bear his stamp?
This is too inexplicable.
Chen Yuchu's thin lips formed a line, and he noticed her expression. He said in a deep voice: "I have already signed the marriage agreement and handed it to the lawyer. This matter is not easy to change."
He paused for a moment, his tone as calm as usual, "From now on, our child will have your last name."
