Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Are you heartbroken?
Yan Jiu raised her eyes and saw Chen Yuchu in the mirror carefully hugging her, as if she were fragile porcelain. Under the warm light, their outlines seemed to merge together.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a burning sensation spread through her ears. She lowered her eyes and bit her lip. "My mother isn't the person she says she is."
Yan Jiu didn't know whether Chen Yuchu would believe it, nor did he know why he began to care about Chen Yuchu's opinion of his mother.
Just explaining in a panic.
Almost without interruption, Chen Yuchu's deep voice reached her ears.
"I know."
Yan Jiu stared down at the silver hem of her skirt, hesitated for two seconds, and then said, "It was my father's wish that I marry into the Chen family. Mom couldn't disobey him."
Chen Yuchu's large palm was placed on Yan Jiu's waist. The graceful curve was just under his skin, and a faint tremor came from it. He pinched it with his slender finger bones, but there was no flesh at all.
"You're too thin."
"ah?"
Yan Jiu raised her eyes in confusion. It seemed that her conversation with Chen Yuchu was completely on different lines.
"I'll have Butler Yu invite a nutritionist to come home and arrange three meals for you."
Chen Yuchu didn't release his large hand from the side of her waist. Instead, he began to gently caress her, over and over again. The lack of rhythm somehow made Yan Jiu's mind wander. She suppressed her strange emotions and said in a trembling voice, "Someone's coming soon. Don't do this."
Finally it's back to its original state.
Chen Yuchu found that this trick was extremely effective on Yan Jiu. She seemed unable to do two things at once, and her body was very sensitive. Whenever her body reacted, she had no extra thoughts to worry about other things.
He let go of her hand and loosened his embrace as he was told, but he did not leave here together as Yan Jiu expected. Instead, he spun her around like a dancer under the lights, and her silver skirt fluttered in the low sky, as beautiful as the Milky Way flowing in the night.
Yan Jiu's toes trembled, and then he was firmly embraced by Chen Yuchu from the front, his arms tightly wrapped around his shoulders and waist.
Her face was so hot that she knew it must be extremely red without even looking. Feeling Chen Yuchu's flawless face slowly moving down, she became even more nervous.
There was a large area of snow-white above the silver dress. The ointment was so effective that there was no trace of it that could arouse people's reverie. On her slender swan neck was a pure and delicate sapphire.
A smile flashed in Chen Yuchu's eyes. He pressed the corner of her lips with his jade-like fingertips, and his cold white fingertips touched a little of her lipstick. He suppressed the desire swirling in his eyes and the sharp rolling of his Adam's apple. He took a moment before placing a kiss on her ear.
Chen Yuchu didn't care about Yan Hongsheng's thoughts. He had seen many greedy people and didn't think they were a big deal. He also never thought that ambition was a bad thing. As long as the person had the ability to get things done and get what they wanted, no matter what means they used, it didn't matter.
He used to think that Yan Hongsheng had a kind of self-righteous stupidity.
But now, he wanted to thank Yan Hongsheng instead.
He brought Yanjiu to him.
Yan Jiu didn't know what Chen Yuchu was thinking. When he took her hand and walked outside, she realized that no one would find this place.
There were two people standing at the corner not far away. They must have been instructed by Chen Yuchu that whenever someone asked for directions, they would guide the guests in another direction.
He always does things in a proper way.
Hearing the noise, one of them walked up to Chen Yuchu and whispered a few words in his ear.
Chen Yuchu's expression remained unchanged after hearing this. He nodded slightly and said to him, "Send the madam out."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jiu didn't ask any more questions and wanted to follow him out. Her eyes fell on the hands holding each other, and she signaled Chen Yuchu to let go, but she didn't expect him to suddenly bend down and adjust her skirt.
Yan Jiu was startled, and the redness on his face that had not yet faded away began to emit a burning heat again.
She looked away in panic, but found that Chen Yuchu's men were as surprised as she was.
As he squatted, his broad shoulders and narrow waist were clearly visible under his black suit. The movement, which did not look good to others, exuded an indescribable nobility from him.
"Since you're at the party, you should have fun, my beautiful wife."
Perhaps it was Chen Yuchu's actions and words that gave Yan Jiu courage. As Chen Yuchu was leaving, she pinched his suit and asked softly, "Where are you going?"
Chen Yuchu didn't seem to expect Yan Jiu to ask, but his expression was gentle, showing no displeasure at being questioned about his whereabouts. His voice was magnetic and soothing, "My mother is looking for me. You go play with your friends, I'll be here soon."
"good."
Although none of Yan Jiu's friends were here, she still smiled and nodded, her slightly red ears trembling in a very cute way.
Chen Yuchu's men were all silent. After sending Yan Jiu to the banquet venue, they did not leave immediately, but stood guard around her not too far away.
Yan Jiu withdrew his gaze, found a place with few people, and called Xiang Tianjiao.
Sheng Jingyao's words had a great impact on her, and she didn't have time to care about Xiang Tianjiao.
With the repeated sound of "no one answered the call", Yan Jiu's heart sank slowly, and his guilt reached its peak.
If only she had discovered earlier that Xiang Tianjiao didn't come.
Yan Jiu felt extremely uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it. Occasionally someone would greet her, and she could only maintain a perfect smile.
Until a familiar and excited voice came, "Xiaojiu!"
Yan Jiu turned around in surprise, the sunlight shimmering on the silver hem of her skirt, and a soft warm light glowed on her delicate face.
Xiang Tianjiao deliberately lowered his voice, but he couldn't hide his excitement, "Why are you hiding here?"
Yan Jiu looked at Xiang Tianjiao, who was smiling brightly. Thinking about how much he had worried about her for so long, he couldn't help but said angrily, "Where's your phone? I called you many times. Xiang Yayun said that she cut your dress."
"Oh, you're bombarding me with questions like a machine gun. Which one should I answer?"
Yan Jiu pinched Xiang Tianjiao's waist and said, "Why don't you confess the truth?"
"Yes, sir! Xiang Yayun said she wanted to come with me this morning. I felt strange but agreed. Unexpectedly, she cut off my dress while I wasn't paying attention. I was so sad and upset that she just walked out of the house with such a swagger."
Having said that, Xiang Tianjiao bit her lip and said, "I won't let her go."
Yan Jiu took her hand and said disapprovingly: "Why didn't you call me right away?"
Xiang Tianjiao stuck out her tongue. "I'm afraid you're busy. I don't want you to worry about me."
"And..." she drawled out her tone, "your husband is really good to you."
Yan Jiu's eyelashes trembled, wondering why Xiang Tianjiao suddenly mentioned Chen Yuchu.
"His secretary contacted me and said you asked him to pick me up at the Chen family's. When I arrived at the Chen family's house, the styling team was already waiting for me. They had prepared many beautiful dresses for me. They were much more gorgeous than what I could prepare myself."
At this point, Xiang Tianjiao's eyes flashed with mischief, "It's rare to see a man who does good deeds in the name of his wife."
Yan Jiu felt a little embarrassed by what she said. He pursed his lips and changed the subject uncomfortably, "Where's your phone?"
Xiang Tianjiao said nonchalantly, "Maybe it was lost in the dressing room. Never mind. At worst, I can just buy another one."
Looking at Xiang Tianjiao's open-minded look, a genuine smile appeared in Yan Jiu's eyes.
No wonder Chen Yuchu let her play with her friends when he left. It turned out that he had thought of everything and prepared everything.
But when she thought of Chen Yuchu, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. He had treated Sheng Jingyao and Xiang Yayun so cruelly. Meng Zhuxing must have called him over to blame him.
Meng Zhuxing likes Sheng Jingyao so much, and this is her birthday party, so she has to give the birthday girl her face. Besides, it would be ugly if the Sheng family made a fuss.
Yan Jiu's heart was in turmoil. She looked around but didn't see Chen Yuchu and Meng Zhuxing, nor did she see Sheng Jingyao and Xiang Yayun. Her chest felt heavy and she couldn't tell what she was afraid of.
Xiang Tianjiao saw Yan Jiu fidgeting and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No..." Yan Jiu always spoke softly, and this time he lowered his voice even more, and told Xiang Tianjiao the whole story that had just happened.
Of course, the part where Chen Yuchu hugged her was skipped.
"Are you afraid that Chen Yuchu will be scolded by his mother?"
When Xiang Tianjiao said this, they were both stunned at the same time. She immediately said, "Are you heartbroken?"
When it was really said out loud, not only Xiang Tianjiao, but even Yan Jiu himself was in disbelief.
Chen Yuchu is a gifted child of destiny. He usually looks calm and composed, so it is hard to imagine that someone would scold him.
Who dares to touch him?
Yan Jiu didn't know what he was worried about.
This thought was suddenly revealed, and a light blush appeared on her cheeks.
While they were stunned, two people stopped in front of them.
Wearing the same suit, one is suave and dashing, while the other is handsome and elegant.
Shang Yu raised her fox eyes and spoke in a long tone, "Hello, sister-in-law~"
Wen Yunhui kept smiling. When he saw Yan Jiu looking at him, he nodded at her as a greeting.
Yan Jiu was confused and didn't know who these people were, but it seemed that they were either relatives of the Chen family or friends of Chen Yuchu.
Otherwise she wouldn't be called that.
Come to think of it, she had never met Chen Yuchu's friend.
This was a social occasion, and Yan Jiu didn't think too much about it. She quickly got into the mood and stood up. The silver dress fit her curves like a shimmering mermaid emerging from the sea. A smile naturally appeared on her face. "Hello."
But Yan Jiu had just said three words when Shang Yu sighed sadly, "Ah."
Yan Jiu was a little confused.
Wen Yunhui explained with a smile: "Shang Yu and I made a bet to see if you would ask who we are. I'm sorry, I made a bet with you without your knowledge. I will send the bet to Jianan Villa later. We are Yu Chu's friends. My name is Wen Yunhui and he is Shang Yu."
Anyone who knew they were staying at Jianan Villa was no ordinary friend. Furthermore, Wen Yunhui was polite, and Yan Jiu wasn't angry that they were betting on him; after all, they hadn't asked him to do anything else.
She nodded slightly, the sunlight falling on her hair, casting a golden outline, and said softly, "It's okay, you don't have to give me the bet."
Shang Yu curled his lips, obviously not caring much about the stakes, but more about winning or losing. He restrained his playful interest and said, "Just keep the wine. It's better to give it to you than to this guy. I always lose to these two in the bet. It's so boring."
Sometimes I call her sister-in-law, sometimes I call her Xiaojiu...
Yan Jiu was a little surprised. The bet they made sounded very boring, but from Shang Yu's expression, it seemed that they often made such bets.
Chen Yuchu's dull face flashed through her mind. Would he actually participate in such a boring game?
Yan Jiu's clear eyes flashed, and a tall figure appeared in his sight. He appeared with Meng Zhuxing.
Meng Zhuxing didn't even glance at them. She walked towards the center of the crowd, took Chen Jinghe's hand, and talked and smiled.
Chen Yuchu walked straight towards them, his posture calm and unhurried, his eyes swept across the crowd of people who were avoiding him, and his long legs wrapped in pure black trousers were in front of them in just a few steps.
Yan Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and he heard the man's steady voice, "What are you talking about?"
Wen Yunhui briefly explained the whole story to Chen Yuchu. He was still standing there, but he seemed to be surrounded by a layer of heavy fog, giving off a faint sense of oppression.
He glanced at Wen Yunhui and said calmly, "You're betting on my wife. Have you prepared an apology in advance?"
