Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Now I know what husband and wife are.
Under the gorgeous warm lights, the two people and the dog look extremely cozy.
Chen Yuchu's angular profile became softer, and his sharp Adam's apple rolled.
Yan Jiu has been feeling uncomfortable these days. He doesn't dare to touch her at all. Even though he has extraordinary self-control, he still finds it a bit unbearable.
It was Yu Yinghui who first spotted Chen Yuchu. She said, "Sir, you're back."
Yan Jiu followed her gaze, tilting his head back to reveal his slender neck. The pearl earrings on his earlobes swayed, making him look even more gentle. She greeted him with a relaxed expression, "You're back early today."
This was at home, and Chen Yuchu's expression had lost its stern expression as it did outside. He stepped forward with long legs and stood in front of Yan Jiu. "I'll leave everything to them."
With his trusted aides in charge of the overseas branch, there were no major problems. As for the domestic projects, he was primarily responsible for the development of the land west of the city, which he essentially delegated to Chen Baichuan, Sheng Junhao, and Yan Hongsheng.
No one knew what Sheng Junhao was thinking about the events of the banquet that day, but he remained calm and even smiled condescendingly at Yan Hongsheng. Chen Baichuan was the only one who expressed dissatisfaction with Yan Hongsheng bringing Yan Song along for the ride, and Sheng Junhao, in turn, tried to reassure Chen Baichuan.
As for the other work, perhaps Meng Zhuxing and Chen Jinghe discussed it, and Chen Jinghe took over all the decisions he could make.
Meng Zhuxing also called today and asked him and Yan Jiu to go to the hot spring villa as soon as possible, saying that he was tired from work recently and needed to relax.
Work didn't make him tired, but he had to do it himself these past two nights, which made him a little tired.
Yu Yinghui left tactfully, picked up the wool on the sofa, and took Ping An with her.
Yan Jiu, tired of that position, had already turned away and was now fiddling with the yarn. Although winter was still a long way off, she had to make enough for several people. In case she got addicted to knitting and wanted to make sweaters again, it would be best to speed up the process.
Chen Yuchu walked from the back of the sofa to the front and sat down next to Yan Jiu. He slowly untied the strap of his watch and put it down. The cold blue dial drew a streak of light in the air.
After taking off his suit jacket, he glanced at Yan Jiu's porcelain-white and tender cheeks, and said in a deep and charming voice, "Yan Jiu, help me take off my tie."
Chen Yuchu's request is also very reasonable.
Yan Jiu paused, put down the yarn, and leaned over to touch his tie. Chen Yuchu was much taller than she was. When she looked up, she happened to meet his gaze. Her heart skipped a beat. She lowered her eyes, her radiant fingers tugging at the black knot, pulling it down.
Normally, it is the interaction of two forces, and Chen Yuchu should stay where he is, so the tie can be easily untied.
But he just leaned down following her strength, and the distance that had just been widened was instantly closer again, even closer. His hot breath hit her face without reservation, and light pink flowers instantly appeared.
Yan Jiu's pearl earrings were wobbling, and she couldn't even speak clearly. "Chen Yuchu, what do you want to do?"
Outside the French windows, people walked by from time to time, and the situation inside was clearly visible. There were so many people in the villa. Yan Jiu was scared to death, but the tone of reprimand coming out of her mouth was sweet.
Her ears suddenly turned red, and she wanted to quit. Just as her radiant fingertips were about to leave, her slender wrist was grabbed and held firmly in place.
The woody scent belonging to Chen Yuchu permeated her nose. Before she could wait for Chen Yuchu's reply, she felt a little unbearable because of the close distance and the heat of his breath.
Yan Jiu said under his breath, "Let me go."
She didn't expect Chen Yuchu to really let go.
So her body weight fell backwards uncontrollably. When she was about to fall onto the sofa, Chen Yuchu grabbed her back with his palm, and with his other hand pulled her slender fingers close to the tie, pulled it down, and the tie was untied.
Even without a mirror, Yan Jiu felt that their actions at this moment were incredibly ambiguous.
The slender finger bones were still holding hers. Yan Jiu struggled to break free and moved sideways from the sofa, standing away from Chen Yuchu. His porcelain-white cheeks seemed to be dripping with blood.
On the other hand, the other man, leaning on the sofa with his strong arms, slowly rose to his feet. A faint smile played on his thin lips, and his voice carried a bewitching magnetism. "Mom called today to ask if we're free next week. We're going to the hot spring villa with Wen Yunhui and the others."
Yan Jiu didn't really care about how excessive Chen Yuchu had just been. She blinked her clear eyes and said with some embarrassment, "I just promised the pet hospital to volunteer there next Saturday. I'm afraid I can't go."
The weekend is two days long, and including the journey to Jicheng, it is usually best to set off on Friday.
Yan Jiu felt embarrassed for delaying their trip and suggested, "You guys go have fun."
Yan Jiu thought that what she said was considerate and that she was thinking about them, but for some reason she felt that the air pressure around her suddenly dropped. She looked at Chen Yuchu's cold face with a look of confusion.
Chen Yuchu glanced at Yan Jiu's clear pupils and told him clearly that she didn't care at all whether she could go with him or not. He was almost laughing with anger.
He tugged at the collar of his shirt, and said in a deep voice, "Yanjiu, do you even know what a husband and wife are? Why do you want me to go alone?"
Yan Jiu really didn't know. After all, before Chen Yuchu got married, he always played alone with Wen Yunhui and the others, and they also went alone.
They are already so familiar with each other, wouldn't it be better without her?
Yan Jiu keenly sensed that if she told the truth, Chen Yuchu would probably be even angrier.
But she had already made an appointment with Dr. Pan and didn't want to go back on her word, so she softened her tone and said, "But I've already promised him, and I don't want to disrupt your schedule."
Chen Yuchu's thin lips moved, as if he accepted her statement. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "What time does it end? Ping An and I will be waiting there for you. Go on Saturday."
Yan Jiu's expression was surprised for a moment. She felt that this sentence sounded like a husband waiting for his wife with his children. But she quickly denied it and replied to Chen Yuchu, "About four or five o'clock, so we should be able to leave early."
Chen Yuchu nodded slightly, his sharp Adam's apple rolling down. Qingjian's voice fell clearly into her ears, "There is a woman traveling with us. Madam, you shouldn't trust me like this."
He paused, not giving Yan Jiu time to reply, and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."
Yan Jiu looked at his tall, bamboo-like back and then remembered Meng Zhuxing's words that Ji Ruixi would also go. She hadn't cared at first. Ji Ruixi was Wen Yunhui's sister. They had probably grown up together and had gone on countless trips together.
But after hearing Chen Yuchu say this, she couldn't help but wonder if she was too careless. It seemed that apart from Sheng Jingyao, she didn't have any unusual feelings towards the women around Chen Yuchu. And her feelings towards Sheng Jingyao were mostly because of Meng Zhuxing, not because of him.
Her heart suddenly began to beat violently, and strange emotions fermented in her heart. Because of Chen Yuchu's words, it turned into a giant marshmallow.
A faint smile appeared on her rosy face.

After dinner, Chen Yuchu went upstairs, while Yan Jiu, Yu Yinghui and others played with Ping An on the lawn outside.
Yu Yinghui acted quickly, inviting several of her friends from the Huaishao Residence. Two or three people from Jianan Villa also wanted to go. Even Yong Meiru had heard about it. She'd wanted to go, too, but the crowds would have worried her family, and she'd have to bring numerous bodyguards, which would have been a negative influence on the adoptive parents.
But Yong Meiru did not go and still expressed his support for this matter.
She arranged for people to buy a lot of cat and dog beds as well as cat and dog food for the cats and dogs in the hospital that had not yet been adopted, and was even willing to provide a place to accommodate these stray animals.
Yong Meiru said that her constant worship of Buddha is ultimately about doing good deeds. Doing good to people is good, and doing good to animals is also good. She hasn't been out much these days, so she's been out of touch with much of the news. Now that she has another way to do good, she's grateful to Yan Jiu.
Yan Jiu was really scared about this. She had only rescued one stray dog, Ping'an, in her life, and it was her first time as a volunteer. She could not compare with the hospitals and other individual rescuers who had been accepting stray animals.
They are the ones who do things quietly.
She doesn't deserve such praise at all.
However, Yan Jiu herself did not expect that so many people would be willing to go with her. Even Meng Zhuxing called to ask. In addition to telling Yan Jiu about the hot spring villa, she also told her that her niece from her mother's side had previously mentioned that she wanted to raise a kitten.
Yan Jiu had met that girl at Meng Zhuxing's birthday party. She was a bit shy and stopped talking after calling her sister-in-law.
Things were going so smoothly before they even started. Besides being a little unbelievable to Yan Jiu, she was also full of confidence in this adoption activity and began to reflect on some of her previous behaviors.
Why did she feel that she could not do anything well before?
Moreover, she tends to have negative thoughts about things, and her first reaction to some things is that they will have a bad ending. If everyone is like this, no one will do anything to help, and even life will be difficult.
Just like when she first met Chen Yuchu, she was very afraid of him. For three months, he didn't contact her, and she didn't contact him either. As soon as she got the marriage certificate, she felt that this marriage was just a forced marriage for the Chen family. Chen Yuchu must hate her. Their marriage would be difficult to maintain, or even the surface of peace would not be able to be maintained.
But after actually getting to know her, she discovered that Chen Yuchu wasn't that scary after all. He was good at everything, perceptive enough to easily sense her emotions. In their relationship, he was always the one taking the initiative.
On the other hand, Yan Jiu himself seems to have always been passive.
So, in the evening she read the book for a while, then suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Yuchu.
Chen Yuchu naturally noticed the gaze of the person beside him, and a smile flashed across his deep eyes. He continued reading, expecting to hear what she had to say. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, she didn't say anything. So he turned around and asked gently, "You've been looking at me for so long, what do you want to tell me?"
Yan Jiu didn't expect that he would be caught red-handed. He was just preparing something and hadn't figured out how to start. Under his probing gaze, the tips of his ears turned red. He stumbled and said, "Now I know what husband and wife are. We should act together."
Her next words were swallowed up by the kiss before she could even utter them.
