Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Life should be respected.
The slender fingers were stained with a lustrous light, and the cool ointment exuded a cool feeling, but became hot in just a few seconds.
Yan Jiu's mind couldn't help but recall the previous scene, which was the ultra-high-definition 4K version.
The man's deep, woody scent and the delicate aroma of medicine permeated her entire living space. Her eyelashes trembled, and she almost scratched the bedsheets, but she still said, "I don't need your help."
Her frail body was trembling slightly, and everyone knew how hard it was for her to endure at that moment.
Proud and broken like a lamb that can't find its home.
Chen Yuchu thought that only someone like him could be so hard-hearted.
Just like in business, always strike hard when your opponent is vulnerable.
He is not a philanthropist, he is an outstanding entrepreneur in Juancheng.
But when the lost lamb opened her moist almond eyes and didn't even look at him, the proud lion admitted for the first time that there is no eternal top in the biological world.
Chen Yuchu gathered Yan Jiu's soft and boneless body and tilted her towards him.
Under the bright light, they seemed to blend into one. He lowered his sharp jaw, gently leaning on her shoulder, his voice a bit seductive, "But, I need you."
What is needed is Yan Jiu as a person, not her help.
Yan Jiu heard the hidden meaning in his words, and a ripple flashed across her watery eyes. She opened her lips, but before she could think of what to say, her slender finger bones pinched a certain point, and she was completely submerged by the tide.
It drowned her and also soaked him.
White knuckles tightly grasped the strong, muscular arm, as if it were the only massive building standing in the storm. His chest was thick and secure. His frail body trembled for a moment before Yan Jiu's unfocused pupils slowly regained focus.
Yan Jiu's eyes and eyebrows were already filled with lust, as thick as his wet fingertips, clear and distinct under the warm light.
She didn't understand Chen Yuchu's sudden change, nor did she know that the proud lion had silently lowered his head.
Maybe he would give up much earlier than now.
But they were all unaware.
Soft water, clear and pure, has no power at all, yet it can grind away the hardest stone. A lost lamb, at the bottom of the food chain, can bring the most formidable lion on the grassland to its knees.
"You..." Yan Jiu's voice was a little hoarse, mixed with a gorgeous glow.
Only then did she realize that the proud lion also had his weaknesses. He showed her his weaknesses honestly and without reservation, letting her feel them, feel his swollen veins, his burning hot blood, and the passion that had not yet subsided.
Yan Jiu suddenly let go of her clenched hands and placed them behind her helplessly. She hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when she heard Chen Yuchu's slightly hoarse voice, "I'll leave for a while."
The man's posture is still upright and noble.
He did not use the bathroom here, as if he did not want Yan Jiu to see his lion-like brutality that was difficult to conceal.
Yan Jiu blinked her moist eyelashes. In the room where she was the only one left, a hint of obscure emotion seemed to flash across her watery eyes.
She suddenly felt empty.
Although I have been relieved, it seems like something is missing.
The blood was already flowing badly. Yan Jiu suppressed the inexplicable thoughts in his heart and dragged his somewhat tired body into the bathroom.
She was covered in a thin layer of sweat, wet and sticky.
Seeing the blurred, wet eyes and the interwoven red and white marks on his body in the bathroom mirror, Yan Jiu sighed slightly. What the hell was going on? The medicine was all in vain.
The bath ball has an orange scent, a fresh and sweet smell that completely covers up the original body smell.
Yan Jiu let out a sigh of relief. Lying in the warm, orange-flavored foam, her nerves relaxed a little, and the pain in her body also subsided a lot.
She closed her eyes, then opened them again after a while, her clear eyes blinking slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Finally, she bit her swollen lips, as if she had made up her mind. Her porcelain-white hands slid the water, appearing and disappearing in the orange foam. She imitated him, twisting her pink skin, but her eyes remained calm.
The corners of Yan Jiu's moist eyes trembled. She stared blankly at the exquisitely patterned tiles above her head, muttering to herself in a voice so soft that it was almost silent.
Only Feng heard her say, "Is Chen Yuchu the only one who can do this?"
In the guest bathroom.
The tall man took off his robe calmly, revealing the firm muscles and smooth lines of his abdomen. He looked into the mirror with his deep eyes, which were filled with strong emotions.
A vibrating sound was heard on the sink.
Chen Yuchu lowered his eyes, took a look, and then turned it off.
But the person on the other end of the phone seemed to not stop until he answered the call, and the vibration sound started again.
Chen Yuchu swiped the screen, turned on the hands-free mode, and asked calmly, "What's going on?"
It was Wen Yunhui on the other end of the line. He wasn't as direct as Shang Yu, but even through the phone, his voice was still as gentle as ever. "We agreed to meet. What's going on?"
Chen Yuchu hummed calmly, "I'm not coming today."
Before Wen Yunhui could say anything, Shang Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I think he is so lost in the world of pleasure. Isn't this what is called forgetting one's principles for the sake of beauty?"
Wen Yunhui said disapprovingly: "It's normal for a newlywed girl."
"Ah, yes, yes," Shang Yu rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I'm the only one who's single, right? I'm almost hanging up, please don't disturb the king from attending court."
His voice became exaggerated. "No wonder he just hung up on us. No way..."
Before they could finish, Chen Yuchu said, "Hang up."
Wen Yunhui and Shang Yu stared at the phones on the table in a daze. In the end, Shang Yu spoke first. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said uncertainly, "So, did we really disturb them?"
The protagonist in their conversation now had a cold and gloomy brow, and a hint of irritability could be seen.
This kind of uncontrollable emotion is extremely rare for him.
There is no paradise, only an empty guest bedroom and bathroom.
Even the faint sweet fragrance of Yan wine on his body gradually disappeared.
But if he was asked to force Yan Jiu to do it, he couldn't do such a thing.
A shadow fell from his crow-feather eyelashes, and he grasped the blue veins that were hidden in his body.
For the first time in my life, I fantasized about a woman.
*
The family's servants only returned on Wednesday.
Everyone was grateful to the boss for giving them four days off. As for whether they had any guesses in their minds, Yan Jiu had no idea.
Yu Yinghui brought a lot of wool for Yan Jiu. The color of the wool she bought last time was not suitable for Chen Yuchu, so Yu Yinghui helped Yan Jiu modify it and gave it to Ping An to wear in winter.
"I think these colors are all quite suitable. A royal blue scarf would be perfect with a black suit, and gray would be nice too." Yu Yinghui held up the yarn to show Yan Jiu, "Actually, knitting a sweater isn't difficult. You can try it after you finish knitting the scarf. When you finish, he'll wear your sweater to the office, and he'll think of you every day."
Yan Jiu felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and a slight blush appeared on her ears. She didn't knit the scarf to make Chen Yuchu think about her. She swallowed and said, "I'm afraid he won't wear a sweater."
"How could that be! I see the male protagonists in Korean dramas all dress like this, sweaters and windbreakers, it looks so good."
Yan Jiu shook her head and opened her red lips slightly, "There's not enough time. I still have to knit scarves for grandma, mom, brother, Jiaojiao, and Aunt Hui."
Hearing that she was also involved, Yu Yinghui sighed a little, "Xiaojiu, you are so kind. To put it nicely, I am the housekeeper here. To put it bluntly, I am just an employee. How can an employer knit scarves for a servant?"
Yan Jiu didn't think much of these things. After all, aren't we all human beings? Wealth and status cannot be brought into this world and cannot be taken away from this world. At the end of life, everyone is the same.
She couldn't help but think of Chen Yuchu. What would a child of destiny like him think? From the moment he was born, it seemed as if a chasm had been created between him and ordinary people.
Does this ambitious person disregard anyone else? What is his goal, the direction he strives for? Is it the position of the Chen family's leader? Will that be the end?
What next?
Yan Jiu admitted that her understanding of Chen Yuchu was too superficial, but now was not a good time to think about these issues. She regained her composure and put these questions deep in her heart.
Many times, Yan Jiu doesn't want to argue with others because there is no conclusion to be reached, especially when there are differences in concepts.
Then, her eyes, like autumn water, smiled and she said softly, "No matter what, you have to keep it. Don't think my knitting is ugly. Wear it well."
"Of course, of course."
"Please help me pick out some colors for Grandma. I want to smudge the incense she likes to use on me after I finish weaving it."
"That's a good idea."
Yan Jiu had just chosen the wool for Yong Meiru when the phone on the table vibrated and the screen lit up.
Ping'an, who had been lying obediently at their feet, suddenly woke up and squinted his eyes alertly.
Yan Jiu patted its head soothingly and answered the phone.
She nodded from time to time, her shiny fingertips tapping Ping An gently, her voice gentle, "Is it next Saturday?"
After receiving confirmation from the other party, Yan Jiu opened his mouth and said, "Okay, I'll join. Thank you, Doctor Pan."
Dr. Pan was the doctor who treated Ping An. He was a very enthusiastic person and did his best to treat Ping An. At that time, Yan Jiu could not find a pet shop nearby and could not give Ping An a bath in advance. Ping An was wet and tangled all over, but Dr. Pan did not despise him. He personally bathed Ping An, undid the tangles and treated him.
He also took the initiative to tell Yan Jiu that since Ping An was a stray puppy, he could enjoy the discount their hospital had set for stray animals.
At the same time, their pet hospital itself will rescue stray animals, provide them with basic examinations, vaccinations, and then look for adopters.
This time, Dr. Pan called to ask if Yanjiu was available to volunteer next Saturday. Their hospital had contacted the mall and had received permission to hold an adoption event there. She and other volunteers would be needed to help maintain order, vet adopters, and prepare for the puppy placements.
Ever since Yan Jiu got the puppy, she couldn't stand seeing stray animals outside, and her philosophy became "adopt instead of buying."
Life should be respected. People should not buy a puppy on impulse just because it looks good when it is young, and then abandon it when they find that it is not to their liking or because of unexpected changes such as job transfers.
After hanging up, Yan Jiu called Zhu Shiqing again and asked if she was free next Saturday. After receiving a negative answer, she said she understood that Zhu Shiqing was a model and her business activities were scheduled by her partners, so sometimes she had to work overtime even on Saturdays and Sundays.
Yan Jiu told Yu Yinghui about this matter. She was also very supportive and asked, "Do you want me to call a few people to help?"
This is a good thing. Yan Jiu nodded, his eyebrows curved, "That's great, the more the better."
Both of them were very excited when talking about this matter.
Yu Yinghui said, "Aren't you guys going on a picnic this Sunday? I'll ask the kitchen to buy some extra meat and other things for Ping An and Billion. We'll bake the rest into snacks and bring them over to the puppies and kittens on adoption day."
When Ping'an heard his name and the word "eat", he immediately raised his head and looked at Yan Jiu eagerly.
Yan Jiu's heart almost melted when he saw this, and he hurriedly fed it the dried duck meat on the table.
At the same time, she responded to Yu Yinghui, "Good idea."
When Chen Yuchu returned, he saw the two of them chatting happily. Some wool was piled on the sofa, and Yan Jiu's black hair fell across her shoulders like silk.
The scary red marks on the slender neck were gone.
