Chapter 6 Chapter 6 You are my wife.
As the mist rose, a pair of slender arms as white as porcelain slowly stretched out from the bathtub, with long hair with slightly curled ends scattered. Yan Jiu's face was stained with the smell of dampness, like a siren from the sea, hazy and charming.
She squinted her eyes and pressed her temples with her smooth and delicate hands.
I didn't sleep all night and just fell asleep accidentally.
When Yan Jiu stepped onto the soft carpet and wrapped the bath towel around her delicate body, she felt a little cold and shivered for a while.
Yan Jiu walked down the stairs slowly in slippers, unwilling to admit that he was avoiding Chen Yuchu.
She didn't want to see her new husband because she didn't know how to face him.
The purple silk nightgown hung loosely on Yan Jiu, revealing her snow-white and delicate skin as she walked. Halfway up the stairs, she suddenly stopped -
Chen Yuchu hasn't left yet.
Yan Jiu's almond-shaped eyes widened and he opened his lips, but didn't say anything.
She wanted to go upstairs immediately.
But Chen Yuchu's gaze swept straight towards her, his eyes as deep as a cold pond penetrating the distance in space, leaving her nowhere to escape.
Chen Yuchu withdrew his gaze indifferently and continued to swipe the tablet to check today's news.
The breakfast and tableware in front of him had been taken away, leaving only a cup of coffee.
He was obviously waiting for her.
Yan Jiu knew she had no choice but to walk over to her seat, next to Chen Yuchu, and sit down with her eyelashes drooping. After the servant brought her breakfast, they left together at the housekeeper's instruction.
In the huge living room, only Yan Jiu and Chen Yuchu were left.
Yan Jiu straightened his body and pursed his lips. A deep voice came to his ears, "Eat breakfast."
She subconsciously picked up the fried egg with a fork, and only when she put it to her mouth did she blame herself for being so obedient.
Perhaps sensing Yan Jiu's body language, Chen Yuchu didn't wait for her to finish eating. Instead, he put down the tablet and said calmly, "You don't have to send Ping An away."
This sentence was as bland as last night's "Send it away tomorrow."
It seems that there is no difference between the two to him.
Yan Jiu didn't connect the dots for a moment. At this moment, she excitedly grasped Chen Yuchu's arm and shook it, her eyes sparkling as she cautiously asked, "Really?"
Her voice was so soft and innocent that it made people feel from the bottom of their hearts that it would be a sin to deceive her.
This was the first time Yan Jiu had made such an intimate gesture to him. Chen Yuchu nodded slightly, and replied to her words in a soothing tone, "It's true."
If he had known how important Ping An was to Yan Jiu before, he would never have suggested sending Ping An away. Although he and Yan Jiu were only in a marriage alliance, they would have shown the necessary respect.
Yan Jiu scanned Chen Yuchu's face, and after confirming that he wasn't joking, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she realized her hand was clutching his shirt. Uncomfortably, she let go and said softly, "Sorry."
The shirt was made of high-end custom-made fabric, which was not transparent but as thin as a feather. The soft touch beneath the shirt fabric gradually faded away. Chen Yuchu's eyes deepened a little. He looked deeply at Yan Jiu, who looked uneasy and at a loss.
He had seen this look on the faces of his subordinates.
But their relationship is not that of superior and subordinate.
Seeing Chen Yuchu's face suddenly darken, a trace of panic flashed in Yan Jiu's dark pupils. She was afraid that Chen Yuchu would change his mind.
The dial traced a beautiful arc in the air. Chen Yuchu lowered his eyes to glance at the time. It was already 9:10. He hadn't expected Yan Jiu to take such a long bath. Fortunately, today's meeting was in the afternoon.
But he needs to go to the company to deal with some things.
As for the problem between me and Yan Jiu, it’s not too late to talk about it later.
Yan Jiu felt his throat tighten, so he clenched his fingers, picked up the juice on the table and took a sip.
A slow, low voice came into her ears, "I'll pick you up for dinner tonight."
Yan Jiu remembered that Chen Yuchu had mentioned to her last night that they wanted to go to Chen's house for dinner, and she replied, "Okay."
Her reaction made Chen Yuchu frown. A meaningful look flashed across his dark eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "You are my wife."
When he spoke this word in a low voice, it was inexplicably tender and alluring.
Yan Jiu curled up his little finger, and his heart was briefly suspended in mid-air because of Chen Yuchu's words.
His wife?
Chen Yuchu didn't wait for Yan Jiu's reaction. He put on a well-tailored dark blue suit, walked away with straight long legs. The driver had been waiting for him, one step behind Chen Yuchu, and the two of them disappeared from Yan Jiu's sight.
What does he mean?
Yan Jiu blinked his swollen eyes. Was he afraid that she would embarrass him like this?
Anyway, Chen Yuchu had already walked away, so Yan Jiu simply stopped guessing what he was thinking. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she quickly walked outside to share the good news with Yu Yinghui, "Aunt Hui, Ping An doesn't need to be sent away!"
Yu Yinghui clasped her hands together and muttered, "Thank God, thank you, Mr. Xie!"
"Madam, your husband is a very good man. You two should get along well. You two were having dinner together just now and you look so well matched. Seeing you, I finally understand what the saying in novels about a talented man and a beautiful woman means."
Yu Yinghui also knows that if she says too much, young people may not listen at all, but she sincerely hopes that such a lovely and kind girl can be happy.
Yan Jiu inexplicably thought of Chen Yuchu's words, and a hint of rouge stained the tips of her ears. But then she thought of Chen Yuchu's previous intention to send Ping An away, and her smile froze on her face. Chen Yuchu was not a good person. He had a good appearance, but he was as overbearing as her father. He was the one who said he would send Ping An away, and he was the one who said he would not send Ping An away. He was so capricious in just one night.
The way they get along isn't like that of a couple, so how can they be considered a good match?
It was more like the two companies were collaborating briefly on a project, and she had no say.
But she wouldn't tell Yu Yinghui this. She coughed lightly and said, "Aunt Hui, I found an adoptive parent for Ping An yesterday. Now that Ping An doesn't have to leave, I want to tell her about the situation."
Looking at Yan Jiu's fleeing figure, Yu Yinghui smiled.

When Yan Jiu arrived at Ping'an's room, Ping'an immediately wagged his tail, but the amplitude of the wag was smaller than before. He looked outside the door from time to time as if he was wary of something.
When Yan Jiu saw this, his heart softened and ached. He immediately squatted down and said, "Ping An, I'm sorry I didn't protect you well before. We will never separate in the future."
Ping An seemed to understand and licked her palm.
Yan Jiu put all of Ping An's things back to their original places. Ping An seemed to have noticed something and happily raised his two front paws to say goodbye. Yan Jiu felt distressed again when she saw this. She had never taught Ping An this gesture before. It might have been taught by Ping An's previous owner.
She couldn't imagine how anyone could be willing to abandon Ping An.
The first time Yan Jiu met Ping An was on a stormy night. Ping An huddled in front of a shop, but was still ruthlessly driven away.
At that time, Ping An did this.
Yan Jiu knew at the time that it was not convenient for her to raise Ping An, but she still felt compassion for him.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Yan Jiu fed Ping An some dog food and snacks, then called Xiang Tianjiao.
"Jiaojiao, Ping'an doesn't need to be adopted out. I can raise her now. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Xiang Tianjiao scolded her: "This is a good thing, why are you apologizing?"
Yan Jiu: "I'm so sorry for standing your friend up. Please invite him for me. I'll treat you two to a meal together."
"Oh no." Xiang Tianjiao's throat tightened. "No need, my friend won't mind. Don't be polite with me!"
Yan Jiu finally gave up and said, "Okay."
Xiang Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief, but she became angry when she thought about what Qin Rong had asked her for yesterday. It was clearly he who broke up with Yan Jiu, but now he wanted to adopt her puppy. If it wasn't for the fact that Yan Jiu was too anxious, she would never have helped Qin Rong.
It would be disastrous if Yan Jiu's husband knew about this.
She knew that Yan Jiu and her husband were a marriage arranged by their family. Although she didn't know who the other party was, she was sure that the other party must have a prominent family background, which was why Yan Jiu's father was so determined to separate Yan Jiu and Qin Rong.
Xiang Tianjiao wanted to change the subject, and she was really curious, "Why did your husband agree again?"
Yan Jiu didn't know the reason for Chen Yuchu's change of attitude, so he said frankly, "I don't know either, maybe he's just having a fit. Anyway, no matter what he says after this, I will never send Ping An away again."
Xiang Tianjiao: "Your personality may seem calm, but you're actually very stubborn."
That's why Yan Jiu would rather give up all the financial support from his family and insist on being with Qin Rong even though his family disagreed. Unfortunately, he trusted the wrong person.
Xiang Tianjiao sighed in her heart. She had witnessed the beginning of Yan Jiu and Qin Rong's love, and had also watched them separate and say goodbye.
Yan Jiu bit her lip and said, "I am Ping An's rescuer. I shouldn't have given up on her."
Xiang Tianjiao suddenly remembered something, "Jiujiu, the class monitor said the class reunion might have to be rescheduled to next week."

Secretary Gao always arrives at work on time because she has a boss who attaches great importance to time.
But today he was late for work.
I arrived at the office building at 9:50.
The rest of the elevators are on other floors, and there is only one elevator on the ground floor. Normally, he would not take this elevator. Since the old man of the Chen family gradually retreated behind the scenes, this elevator was only used by Chen Yuchu.
Secretary Gao looked at his watch, gritted his teeth, and got on the elevator.
Anyway...the boss should be in the office now.
I'm already late, so I can't care less.
Just as Secretary Gao pressed the close button, a pair of elegant brogues stepped into the elevator door.
Secretary Gao's hands began to spasm uncontrollably, and he frantically pressed the door-opening button.
"Good morning, boss."
Secretary Gao was 1.81 meters tall, but Chen Yuchu was still half a head taller than him. His dark eyes were filled with swirls, and his aura was intimidating. Secretary Gao was terrified for a moment, wondering whether to take the initiative to explain.
Chen Yuchu's calm eyes drooped, pausing for a few seconds on his suit, and asked slowly, "Do you have a pet?"
Secretary Gao's heartbeat slowed down. How did the boss know?
He looked down and saw the dog hair on his suit, then he realized what had happened.
"Yes." Hearing that Chen Yuchu didn't mean to blame him, Secretary Gao took the opportunity to explain: "The dog my girlfriend and I raise together may have eaten something bad last night and has diarrhea. I was worried about its life, so I took it to the hospital and was late. I'm sorry, boss."
Secretary Gao explained the matter briefly.
He would never say anything unnecessary or unprofessional.
Chen Yuchu thought of Yan Jiu's swollen eyes and asked calmly, "Is this dog important?"
Secretary Gao was stunned. He hadn't expected his boss to be so concerned about his personal life. He immediately stood up straight and expressed his loyalty. "Boss, this will definitely not affect my work. What happened today won't happen again."
Chen Yuchu glanced at Secretary Gao's tense face and slowly said, "Just answer whatever I ask."
Secretary Gao stood up straight, raised his chest, and answered with a resounding voice: "Yes! This puppy is our family."
The elevator door slowly opened, and Chen Yuchu walked in front with steady steps. As he stepped into the office area, everyone immediately fell silent. Secretary Gao followed closely behind him. The moment he entered the office, Chen Yuchu suddenly paused and ordered in a calm voice, "Help me win that set of pink diamonds at the Sotheby's auction this afternoon."
