Chapter 39 Chapter 39 It turns out that you miss me so much.
The afternoon sun shone into the room. Yan Jiu was only covered with a thin blanket, which could not hide her graceful curves.
Chen Yuchu came out of the bathroom, still a little damp.
When he sat on the bed, he lowered his eyes to glance at Yan Jiu. Coincidentally, her eyes suddenly opened, and she obviously didn't wake up yet. It was as if covered by a layer of fog, and her pupils couldn't focus.
Chen Yuchu smiled, his eyes slightly warm, and his voice was a bit coaxing, "You sleep a little longer."
Yan Jiu didn't know whether he heard clearly or not, and closed his eyes again.
Her long and thick eyelashes drooped, making her look as delicate and beautiful as a doll, and her rosy lips were slightly parted, making people want to take a closer look.
Chen Yuchu looked at her uncertainly for a long time before he leaned over and picked up his phone and turned it to silent mode.
His slender fingertips tapped the screen. There were a lot of work messages, none of which were particularly important, but he would still take the time to reply to one or two to keep up the progress.
After all, it was an unfamiliar environment, so Yan Jiu didn't sleep well.
Her body fell asleep, but her mind was still in a state of half-awakeness.
The crisp woody aroma filled her nose. Yan Jiu frowned slightly, her mind full of chaotic fragments. One moment, Chen Yuchu was holding her and telling her not to be afraid, and the next moment, he was telling her not to run away with an inexplicable look on his face.
Where will she run to?
Why run again?
It was so confusing that she shook off Chen Yuchu's hand, but he held it too tightly. Not only that, he pressed down on her with his whole body, swallowing what she was about to say, but his hands did not stop moving.
She felt a little uncomfortable, but couldn't tell where.
There's a lack of oxygen, but it seems like it's not oxygen that's lacking.
At this moment, the man with clear features suddenly released his hold on her. Before she could catch her breath and carefully discern his smile, she saw a glass-like thread hooked on his fingertips.
The thin lips opened slightly in the next second: "So, you missed me so much."
nonsense!
She didn't think about him at all, and not in this way!
Yan Jiu suddenly woke up.
Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably, as if the dream just now had not ended, and her white fingertips curled up.
A crisp woody aroma enveloped her, invisibly pressing her from all directions, until Qingjian's voice rang in her ears, "Are you having a nightmare?"
Yan Jiu's rationality had just returned a little, but her heart was still beating fast. She wiped the sweat from her smooth forehead and said vaguely, "No."
She was embarrassed to say what kind of dream she had.
It's really embarrassing.
Perhaps Chen Yuchu's words had such a huge impact on her that it even affected her dreams.
Chen Yuchu stared at the suspicious red color on Yan Jiu's face, paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You can sleep for a while."
Yan Jiu's breathing was slightly stagnant, but she didn't dare to sleep anymore.
"No need." She answered without thinking.
She was afraid that Chen Yuchu would ask again, so she turned sideways and turned on the screen of her mobile phone. It was already half past three.
Dinner is scheduled for six o'clock, so it just needs to be ready by half past five.
Because this dream was so real, Yan Jiu didn't dare to stay in the same room with Chen Yuchu anymore. Her clear eyes turned and she stood up, "I'll go get ready first."
Without waiting for Chen Yuchu to respond, Yan Jiu went to the cloakroom.
This is where Chen Yuchu has lived since he was a child. Unlike the business style of the cloakroom in Jianan Villa, there are quite a few casual clothes here.
Yan Jiu had never seen Chen Yuchu in casual clothes except for pajamas. He was always dressed in a formal suit. After a few seconds of pausing, she held her breath, turned her head to look outside, and then carefully rummaged through his clothes.
There were a lot of T-shirts hanging in one corner. I flipped through them with my slender fingers and found a signed jersey of a famous player.
It turns out that Chen Yuchu can also play basketball?
Does he watch football games and have his favorite football stars like any other young man?
Yan Jiu opened her lips, somewhat incredulous. She thought his entire life must revolve around "business", acquiring knowledge, learning multiple languages, and actually running a company.
Otherwise, how could he become the person who can easily control everything today.
There seemed to be ripples in Yan Jiu's heart, like a small bubble that was constantly expanding. No one knew what would happen to it in the future.
It’s hard to describe what emotion she was feeling. Maybe she understood Chen Yuchu a little better.
The Chen Yuchu that outsiders cannot see.
She lowered her eyes, put down the T-shirt in her hand, and randomly chose a white satin long skirt.
I'll have to change it later anyway.
When I changed my clothes and came out, Chen Yuchu was no longer in the room.
Yan Jiu was in a trance for a moment, pursed his lips, and absentmindedly picked up his phone to change into his dress.
The screen lit up because of the touch of the finger temperature.
Yan Jiu lowered his eyes and glanced at him nonchalantly.
Chen Yuchu: [I'm going to Wen Yunhui's place.]
Yan Jiu's fingertips stroked the words on the screen, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The evening dress Yan Jiu chose was a black Elie Saab dress, embellished with sparkling diamonds. Even without wearing any jewelry, it was already exquisite and elegant enough.
The smooth lines of the black skirt fit the beautiful body curves, and the skirt is high-slit, revealing the white and translucent skin.
The stylist accessorized Yan Jiu with a diamond necklace, bracelet, and earrings.
This set of diamond jewelry was given to her by Yong Meiru. She said that she had bought it before, but now she felt that she was too old to suit such gorgeous jewelry, and it would be a waste to keep it, so she gave it to Yan Jiu.
Expensive jewelry is a precious item that can be passed down in any family. Yan Jiu knew that Yong Meiru said this just to make it easier for her to accept it.
She was grateful.
Apart from Chen Yuchu, Yong Meiru is the best person in the Chen family who treats her well.
When everyone else in the Chen family ignored her, Yong Meiru was the only one who would occasionally invite her out, give her furniture, and buy her beautiful clothes.
Chen Yuchu left for abroad as soon as he got his marriage certificate, and he didn't return home for three months. Yan Jiu knew that the servants at Jianan Villa had been so polite to her during this period, never slacking off, because of Yong Meiru.
"Xiaojiu, you are so beautiful."
Behind Yan Jiu was Xiang Tianjiao, who was wearing a white satin fishtail dress. The one-shoulder design made her neck look slender and graceful. She had finished her hairstyle before Yan Jiu and was now staring at Yan Jiu in the mirror with an exaggerated sigh.
"You're beautiful too. This dress suits you very well."
Yan Jiu stood up, her pupils glowing with warmth and a peaceful smile on her face. She reached out and held Xiang Tianjiao's hand.
The venue for the dinner was different from that for the luncheon, and it was held indoors.
Inside the banquet hall, a huge crystal chandelier hung in the center of the ceiling. The long white tables were covered with desserts and drinks. The stacked champagne towers shone brilliantly under the lights, creating a luxurious scene.
When Yan Jiu and Xiang Tianjiao arrived, the guests, all dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, were holding their wine glasses lightly and chatting happily.
"Mrs. Chen is really lucky."
"What's the prize?"
"I heard it was the right to use Defeng Plaza for a year, but Mrs. Chen didn't want it. So Mrs. Shang gave her a racehorse instead."
"Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Shang are both generous people."
"Who says it isn't?"
Xiang Tianjiao was a little surprised when he heard this. He leaned close to Yan Jiu's ear and whispered, "One year's use rights for Defeng Plaza? That's really a big deal, Mrs. Shang."
Yan Jiu nodded. Shang Tai was Shang Yu's mother. The person who could be with Chen Yuchu was indeed from a prominent family. She could give away such a precious prize just by playing cards.
Not to mention the one-year use rights of Defeng Plaza, the racehorse that was later exchanged for it was also not simple, and it was probably one that had won a prize.
Her clear eyes swept across the entire audience. Naturally, Meng Zhuxing was surrounded by a group of wealthy ladies. Perhaps they were talking about something funny, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Qu Lingling was holding Chen Baichuan's hand. In front of them was a very beautiful young woman with a shy smile. Chen Baichuan was clutching his cufflinks, looking a little impatient.
Yan Jiu's slender fingers stroked the diamond bracelet on his wrist, thinking subconsciously.
I'm afraid this is the person Qu Lingling used the banquet to introduce to Chen Baichuan. Yong Meiru said that Qu Lingling was at her wit's end with Chen Baichuan, and had found him some pretty girls with good family backgrounds, but after arranging them, Chen Baichuan just wouldn't go.
Chen Baichuan had many excuses, so much so that he couldn't even find anyone at the entertainment venues he usually liked to go to, and he insisted on working overtime at the company.
When Yan Jiu was thinking, he would naturally stare at one place.
At this moment, she was looking at Chen Baichuan, and for a moment she did not notice that the noisy banquet had suddenly become quiet.
Until a straight and slender figure stood in front of him, blocking Yan Jiu's sight and casting a large shadow, and a deep voice fell: "What are you looking at?"
Yan Jiu regained some of her composure. She raised her clear eyes and whispered, "Nothing."
Chen Yuchu also changed into a suit, still a black haute couture suit, but with a slight difference in the material. He half-lowered his eyes, his deep black eyes looking at her quietly, with no emotion visible.
She keenly noticed that Chen Yuchu was not satisfied with her answer.
But she couldn't say she was thinking about his brother's gossip, right?
Everyone's eyes were on them. Yan Jiu's long eyelashes trembled, and she used Chen Yuchu's tall figure to cover herself.
The familiar woody scent soaked into the tip of her nose, and the ends of Yan Jiu's eyelashes trembled, and she was slightly stunned.
Chen Yuchu's cold eyes moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Xiang, you..."
Before he could finish, Xiang Tianjiao immediately let go of Yan Jiu's hand, with a smile in his voice, "I know, I know, I'll go find my parents and won't disturb you."
Yan Jiu watched Xiang Tianjiao leave, and a broad hand appeared in her sight, quietly placed in front of her.
The man's finger bones were long and slender, and under the luxurious overhead light, they were as cold and white as jade.
He looked abstinent, but she was the only one who knew that he was the worst.
Yan Jiu took a sip, her cheeks inexplicably hot. Many eyes were looking at her vaguely. She didn't want to be "watched", so she quickly put her hand in his arm.
The man's thin lips curled up silently.
His forearms, tightly wrapped in his suit, were lean and strong, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
Yan Jiu knew that Chen Yuchu was going to introduce her to some people. She knew before that this was something she had to face, so she raised her rosy lips into a sweet smile.
Fortunately, with Chen Yuchu around, his aura was strong enough, and the guests' eyes were very restrained. They did not ask too many questions, nor did they talk about any cooperation. They just gave brief praise.
Yan Jiu stood next to Meng Zhuxing with Chen Yuchu. She was still chatting with Shang Tai and pulled Shang Tai to introduce her: "Look how beautiful my daughter-in-law is. Shang Yu, don't miss her anytime."
"She is as beautiful as a fairy, standing out from the crowd. I've noticed it a long time ago." He Qinyan nodded slightly and spoke sweet words.
"I can't control Shang Yu." He Qinyan looked at Chen Yuchu with a helpless tone, "Yuchu and he are brothers. Please help me persuade him. I'm counting on him to change his mind after marriage."
He Qinyan was wearing a silver sequined gauze dress, and the luxurious beads on her neck were extremely dazzling under the light. She was obviously very familiar with Chen Yuchu, and spoke to him more intimately than others.
Chen Yuchu was also very polite to her and nodded in agreement.
Shang Yu walked over to them at a leisurely pace. His face was very gentle under the gold-rimmed glasses, but his tone was nonchalant. "Mom, a forced melon is not sweet."
When He Qinyan heard this, her expression instantly brightened. She raised one hand and pinched Shang Yu's ear, lowering her voice, "You little brat, you only know how to embarrass your mother. I'm giving your racehorse away."
"Bai Xue???" Shang Yu was anxious.
"If you don't obey me, I will sell your Black Cloud."
Yan Jiu's pupils showed astonishment. Meng Zhuxing and Chen Yuchu had obviously known how the mother and son got along for a long time and were not surprised at all.
Chen Yuchu said calmly, "My aunt gave Bai Xue to me."
