Chapter 441: The Rural Woman in Power Coveted by the Rich and Powerful (5)
The same thin lip line, the same straight nose bridge, even the faint wrinkle between his eyebrows when he frowned, are exactly the same as the person in my memory.
The man who used to see her day and night, pestered her every day, and was unwilling to let go even in his dreams.
"husband......"
Qingwu spoke subconsciously.
This face is 70% similar to Gu Chenzhou's, but younger and sharper.
Especially the coldness at the brow bone, as if covered with a layer of frost and snow that would never melt.
In comparison, Gu Chenzhou always had that warm smile for her, and a doting light hidden between his gentle eyebrows.
The moment the words fell, Yan Lili's fingertips suddenly stopped moving.
The child's body temperature under the handkerchief felt hot through the cashmere, and the soft call with the ending tone of the Jiangnan water town echoed repeatedly in his ears.
The sound of my heartbeat almost drowned out the sound of the rain falling.
Yan Lili frowned fiercely.
He stared at Qingwu's red eyes and eyelashes stained with raindrops, and looked at the little face of the child in her arms who was murmuring unconsciously due to a high fever. The irritability in his heart that was originally disturbed by the sound of rain suddenly changed.
He had seen too many socialites using "chance encounters" as bait. They were either pretending to be shy or flirting, all to attract his attention.
But what's happening now... Who would act out this in the pouring rain while holding a child with a high fever?
The faint scent of soapberry mixed with the smell of rain on her body was so clean that it didn't seem like a carefully designed trap.
At this moment, the sudden surge of tears in Qingwu's eyes was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing a series of inexplicable ripples in Yan Lili's heart.
She was not acting. The dazed and distracted look in her voice when she said "husband" clearly showed a habit ingrained in her bones.
......husband?
Such a beauty...
Why do you call him husband?
Or...
Does she call out like this to everyone she sees on the street?
What about her husband?
How could he bear to let her appear here alone with the child?
How dangerous her behavior just now was...
If it wasn't him I met...
He had something hidden in his heart, and a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, making Yan Lili's solemn face feel more oppressive.
Qingwu looked up at the young and handsome man in front of her. Raindrops slid down his jawline and gathered into crystal clear water droplets on his collarbone.
At that moment, her memories suddenly overlapped. Gu Chenzhou had also looked down at her in this condescending manner, but the man in front of her had a bit more distance and aloofness.
So, when she saw the man in front of her, she subconsciously called out that name.
When she came to her senses, Qingwu realized her gaffe.
Qingwu's cheeks turned red instantly.
"You've got the wrong person." Yan Lili withdrew his hand, his voice even colder than before.
The moment he turned around, he unconsciously leaned towards her, using his tall figure to block some of the slanting raindrops for her.
A strong intuition flashed through Yan Lili's mind like lightning, splitting his chaotic thoughts.
He has been a person with extremely sharp intuition since he was a child, and at this moment, a voice deep in his heart kept shouting, making him unable to ignore it.
Yan Lili suddenly remembered that his mother had pointed at Gu Chenzhou's photo in a financial magazine and said to him, "When your uncle was young, he looked just like you, except he didn't have your cold, aloof air."
At that time, he did not take this sentence to heart, and just thought it was a casual comparison made by his mother.
But now, the child's age seems to coincide with the time when his uncle had the accident...
This thought made Yan Lili's heart suddenly shrink, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
"Get in the car, I'll take you to the hospital. The child can't be exposed to the rain anymore."
Yan Lili's voice was still as cold and hard as usual, but only he himself knew that beneath this seemingly calm surface, a storm was brewing in his heart.
He tried to keep his voice steady and suppress the barely perceptible tremor.
Yan Lili pulled at his slightly tight tie and opened the back door for Qingwu.
The warm yellow light from inside the car poured out, illuminating half of his outline.
His eyes, which were usually cold and sharp, now seemed to be softened a little by the rain under the warm light. The coldness at his brow seemed to be softened a little by the rain, revealing a complex emotion that he himself was not aware of.
Qing Wu stood there holding the child in her arms, with crystal tears hanging on her rain-soaked eyelashes, but to him they looked as dazzling as broken diamonds.
"If you don't get in the car, the child will be confused by the fever."
Yan Lili didn't know what he was feeling at the moment.
It is extremely complex and chaotic.
Suspicions and guesses intertwined in my heart.
still......
Unspeakable desire and confusion?
Yan Lili didn’t know, he just felt as if he was in a turbulent wave, swept away by all kinds of emotions and unable to find direction.
And the woman holding the child...
Will give him all the answers.
The muffled sound of the car door closing blocked out the raging rain outside the window, and the warm light inside the car suddenly lit up, tightly wrapping the three wet people.
Yan Lili stared at the water droplets dripping from Qingwu's hair—
They slid into her neckline along the curve of her swan neck, casting dark spots on her lilac cotton skirt.
He curled his fingertips unconsciously. His obsession with cleanliness, which should have disgusted him with the water stains on the leather seat, now turned into a dull pain somewhere in his chest.
This feeling made him feel a little overwhelmed. He didn't understand why just looking at the water droplets on Qingwu's hair could trigger such strong emotional fluctuations.
Yan Lili silently turned up the heating and drying systems in the car.
The car heater started up with a hum, and the warm air from the drying system gushed out from the air outlet, carrying with it the scent of soapberry and rainwater on Qingwu's body.
Yan Lili took out a towel and blanket from the locker.
"Wipe it off."
Yan Lili seemed a little embarrassed and quickly turned his face to the car window, pretending to admire the street lights passing by outside the window.
But when he caught a glimpse of her current appearance out of the corner of his eye, his ears suddenly started burning.
The heir of the Yan Group showed some of his youthful shyness and timidity at this rare moment.
The clothes are a little wet and a little transparent.
He saw it all...
Pink lace...
Qingwu noticed something strange about Yan Lili, but she didn't think much about it. She just took the towel and blanket and said thank you.
In fact, Yan Lili didn't hold an umbrella when he got out of the car just now, so his body was a little wet.
However, his coat was made of waterproof material, and he had plenty of yang energy, so this little moisture was not a big problem for him.
