Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Panic is inevitable.
"you......"
Yan Jiu had just finished speaking when he swallowed the rest of the words.
Chen Yuchu kissed her lips gently, the scent of roses and lychees mixed with a faint smell of blood, and his slender knuckles wiped away the tears from her eyes.
She hurt herself.
Yan Jiu was so used to suffering alone that she wrapped herself in a thick shell, as if this would allow her to dissolve the pain on her own.
He thought, of course he could just let her handle everything the way she was used to.
It's just a matter of time, she will get out of it.
Things like this may have happened countless times before.
But once upon a time, he was not by her side.
Now, he is by her side.
Why let her solve it her own way?
Chen Yuchu lifted her chin and pried open her wet lips. He nimbly invaded the familiar place and wanted her to truly accept him.
The other hand supported her back, stroking her straight spine and exposed butterfly bones.
He finally felt the reality of being married.
Marriage means that two previously independent people form a family.
From now on, they can face many things together.
A flicker of anger flashed across Chen Yuchu's eyes, at those who had angered her, at those who had caused her to become like this. He was more violent than ever, his desire to destroy rising.
But his kiss was more gentle and restrained than before.
The air around Yan Jiu was filled with his rich woody aroma and the faint scent of red wine. There was a feeling of no escape in the enclosed space. She was so shocked that she forgot what she was going to say, and her tear-stained eyelashes trembled.
She tilted her head, wanting to breathe properly, but he caught up with her and kissed her again. His tongue was sucked and pressed down, and tears soon gathered on her eyelids.
Chen Yuchu's eyes were dark and focused. He felt like he was taking advantage of the situation and bullying the little girl.
He slowly pulled away, their intertwined tongues already soaked in the taste of both parties.
Go deep into each other's hearts.
The deep eyes were fixed on the pupils that gurgled like spring water. The rough fingertips passed by, and the voice was a little hoarse, "Don't cry."
"Grandma told you not to bully me."
Yan Jiu sniffed his red nose, his chest heaving violently, and he puffed out his lips. The rosy color seemed to announce what had happened.
This was clearly saying that he bullied her.
Chen Yuchu was not annoyed, he just smiled. What she said was right. He even said "hmm" to show his approval of her words.
"But grandma isn't here right now."
Yan Jiu's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Chen Yuchu in disbelief and snorted heavily, "You are so bad."
Chen Yuchu raised his thin lips slightly, not denying it. He rubbed her butterfly bones calmly, tracing the shape of her lines, and said slowly, "Then you can bully me too."
Yan Jiu's eyes widened, his long eyelashes trembled, and it was as if fireworks were exploding in his mind.
How could he say this without blushing or getting nervous?
She doesn't want it.
Chen Yuchu glanced at that puffed-up face, knowing he couldn't tease her anymore. He slowly released his grip on her, his voice filled with a gentleness he hadn't even noticed. "Go get some sleep. I'll call you when we get there."
Yan Jiu bit her lower lip, her eyes flickering, as if she couldn't believe that he let her go so easily.
Chen Yuchu's usually calm face also had some faint cracks on it. He didn't expect that his "bad" image in Yan Jiu's heart was so complete. There was a hint of smile in his clear voice, "If I don't sleep now, I'm not sure what I will do."
Yan Jiu's white fingertips clenched slightly, and she glanced at him secretly. Sure enough, the arm covering her back had returned to its original position unconsciously, and her hands were folded in front of her body, with faint blue veins on them.
The dim light from outside shone in, and he sat as straight as a pine or cypress, giving people a noble and relaxed feeling. If his shirt had not been crumpled to pieces by her, it would seem as if everything just now was just an illusion.
Even the aura that lingered around her gradually faded away. She finally relaxed, lowered her eyelashes, and stepped aside to create some distance between them.
After doing all this, Yan Jiu found that the man next to him did not react at all.
While she felt a sense of relief in her heart, some inexplicable emotions spread throughout her body.
She felt it to some extent.
Chen Yuchu has been very accommodating to her tonight, whether it was dancing or other times.
Perhaps this is his unique way of comforting people.
Chen Yuchu half closed his eyes and cast a little glance at Yan Jiu, just when she had been silent for a long time and was so quiet that people thought she had fallen asleep.
A somewhat soft voice sounded.
If you don't pay attention, you might think you heard it wrong.
"I don't want to know about Mom's past." Yan Jiu's voice was soft but firm. "I don't want this incident to become the blade I use to stab Mom one day."
Her voice was a little hoarse, due to the blockage of her vocal cords after crying, but it had another kind of resolute strength that even cut through the darkness in the car.
Chen Yuchu stared at her for a long moment before saying, "Okay."
He knew what Yan Jiu meant. Intimate relationships are always the most transparent. When you first learn of someone's weaknesses, you might feel heartache. Over time, that heartache will gradually fade. Even the closest people will eventually have arguments. Would she use their weaknesses as a weapon?
Human nature is hard to describe.
No one can tell how hurtful the words spoken at that time can be.
So she would rather never know.
Chen Yuchu slowly withdrew his gaze and took out his mobile phone. The suddenly lit screen reflected his handsome face. His thin lips were slightly pursed, as quiet as a lonely snow-capped mountain. His slender knuckles lightly tapped a few letters.
At the same time, he opened his thin lips and said in a calm voice, "You should get some sleep."
Yan Jiu thought she definitely couldn't fall asleep, so he just planned to close his eyes and rest for a while.
A lot of things happened that day, leaving her overwhelmed.
But when she slowly opened her eyes, she found that the night outside the car was almost thick.
Yan Jiu's heart skipped a beat. His slender, porcelain-white fingers frantically dug out his phone from his bag. He lost his grip, and the phone, along with his suit jacket, fell to his feet. The screen lit up, illuminating the dark interior of the car. Yan Jiu suddenly realized there was a figure sitting upright beside him.
He was so quiet, so quiet that he was barely breathing.
The light on the screen dimmed again, returning to its original darkness and silence.
Yan Jiu swallowed and felt that the current environment was a bit like a horror movie. In this dark and silent space, some terrifying creature might suddenly appear.
But she was not drunk after all, and she had just come out of the haze of waking up. She knew that Chen Yuchu must have been waiting for her for a long time.
A familiar voice fell into Yan Jiu's ears, "Are you afraid of the dark?"
She lowered her eyes and picked up the suit, her shiny fingertips curling up, "I'm fine, thank you for waiting for me."
In the darkness, one's vision is limited, but one's other senses are always unusually sharp. She felt Chen Yuchu move his jaw slightly, and his voice, as usual, said casually, "Waiting for the madam is what I should do."
There seems to be some profound meaning in the magnetic voice.
Yan Jiu's ears inexplicably turned red, but she didn't dare think too deeply about it. She was thankful that Chen Yuchu couldn't see her at this moment, and she only felt that even the air in this enclosed space had become thicker.
She kept her breathing even, "Then I'll get off."
This was said somewhat deliberately.
It was similar to how he spoke to his subordinates, as if he was trying to distance themselves from each other, but also like he was just making awkward conversation.
She got out of the car. Was he going to sit in the car and think quietly all night?
Chen Yuchu was amused by her words, and his thin lips curled up into a beautiful arc.
Unfortunately, Yan Jiu didn't see it. She had already opened the car door and turned her back.
As she turned to pick up her handbag and suit jacket, she caught sight of Chen Yuchu opening the car door. She hesitated for a moment, then paused for a few seconds, waiting for him.
The car was parked in front of the lawn of the villa.
There was no one in the driver's seat.
Yan Jiu felt that her sleep was a bit ridiculous. She didn't sleep so soundly even at home on weekdays, let alone the uncomfortable sitting position in the car. She didn't even notice that Chen Yuchu had covered her with clothes.
Feeling the warmth from the suit on his arm, Yan Jiu was in a trance for a moment.
As they walked side by side, a deep voice came into Yan Jiu's ears.
"I thought you would run away."
Yan Jiu slowed down her pace and muttered to himself, then her face flushed red after she understood what he said. Even her subconscious mind in her dream was running away.
This cannot be blamed on her. After all, what Chen Yuchu said was indeed scary. Everything about him except his handsome face was scary.
She froze in place, but didn't want to admit defeat. "I'm not going to run away."
When Chen Yuchu saw that she hadn't caught up, he stood there waiting for her, glancing at her thoughtfully, "Really? Are you ready?"
Yan Jiu was an adult, so he naturally knew what Chen Yuchu meant. Furthermore, he had specifically "emphasized" this in the afternoon.
Her slender fingertips clenched her handbag, and the back of her hand was abnormally white, like a piece of cool and white porcelain.
Honestly, she wasn't ready yet.
She had no aversion to Chen Yuchu, and had even imagined that one day they would naturally do something like this. But she herself was a slow-moving person, sometimes as slow as a turtle, and she had no reference cases in this regard.
Other couples wouldn’t be like them, not seeing each other for three months after getting their marriage certificate.
Her relationship with Chen Yuchu was like crossing a river by feeling the stones.
This was her first time doing this.
Panic is inevitable.
Yan Jiu's entire face, including his neck, was faintly rouge-colored, and his long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, as if foreshadowing that his master was struggling with his conscience and was facing a difficult choice.
She was lost in a tangle of thoughts, her brain in chaos, until the cool scent of wood floated to her nose. Her pupils constricted and she subconsciously took a step back.
"careful."
She felt a force from her back and crashed into the man's broad chest.
Yan Jiu's nose felt sore and mist rose in her pupils. She raised her head slightly and through her hazy vision, she saw Chen Yuchu frowning.
The next second, she was picked up in the air.
His cold tone seemed to contain some emotion. "Madam, am I so hungry in your heart? So rude? Do I scare you so much?"
Chen Yuchu's three consecutive questions made Yan Jiu's eyes look confused.
Didn't you say that yourself?
Could it be that he was just trying to scare her? What a joke of the century.
But Chen Yuchu didn't seem to need her answer.
He withdrew his gaze, held her in his arms and walked straight into the room.
A sour feeling surged uncontrollably from the bottom of her heart.
It lingers no matter what.
She bit her lip, swallowed the strange emotion rising in her chest, and asked unnaturally: "Do you still have the red wine that Shang Yu gave you?"
