Jiang Duoduo stood in the center of the room, looking from the soft bed to the carpeted floor, and then to the leather sofa...
Qin Jue gave her a choice between these three positions. Overwhelmed by decision-making anxiety, she obediently lowered her head and said, "I will follow President Qin's arrangements."
The man stood behind her without her noticing, leaned down slightly, and said in a gentle tone, "Duoduo helped me a lot today, so how about we sleep in the bed?"
Jiang Duoduo nodded without any hesitation, "Sure!"
Jiang Duoduo was lying on the soft bed, completely enveloped by the soft blankets, feeling incredibly comfortable.
I thought the Jiang family was quite wealthy, but now, comparing them to Qin Jue, it's clear that rich people sleep in very luxurious beds.
I seem to recall there was also a massage bed, which might have a massage function as well.
As Jiang Duoduo was thinking, something she never dreamed of was happening—
After Qin Jue finished dealing with all the emails and put down his tablet, he walked towards her, wearing a bathrobe, and crawled directly into bed.
Realizing what was happening, Jiang Duoduo sat up abruptly. "President Qin, why are you sleeping on the bed too? Shouldn't you be sleeping on the floor or the sofa?"
"What did you say?" Qin Jue frowned. "Say it again?"
"I...I didn't..." Jiang Duoduo stammered for a moment, "I said I'd go sleep on the sofa." She then began to do so.
She knew Qin Jue also needed to sleep in a bed, so she would rather die than listen to him!
However, Qin Jue didn't give her a chance at all and immediately turned off the lights in the room, saying, "Go to sleep."
The room was pitch black, enveloping Jiang Duoduo. She was completely unfamiliar with the room and dared not move around.
She obediently lay down, then opened her eyes. After a very, very long time, hearing the man's even breathing, she still couldn't rest easy and secretly slipped onto the floor to sleep.

The next day.
When Jiang Duoduo opened her eyes in Qin Jue's arms, her mind went blank, and she was stunned for several minutes.
She looked up at Qin Jue's face, completely terrified, unable to even scream.
After the young woman stared at him for several minutes, the man opened his eyes and glanced at her.
Qin Jue wrapped his arm around the petite Duo Duo, pulled her closer, and held her, helping her lie on her other side to find a more comfortable position. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Awake?"
The dizzying sensation brought Jiang Duoduo, who was still dazed, back to her senses, and she immediately snapped back to reality. "Ah!"
A scream, several beats late, escaped her lips. Qin Jue reached out and covered her mouth. "Quiet."
Jiang Duoduo broke free from him abruptly, dodged to the side, and clutched the blanket tightly. "Why are you sleeping with me like this?"
"What else could it be? You rolled onto the floor last night, and I was afraid you'd catch a cold, so I carried you to bed." Qin Jue said without changing his expression. "Later, you were sleeping very soundly and kept kicking me. If I didn't hold you, would I let you kick me like that?"
"..." Jiang Duoduo fell silent for a moment. She had deliberately rolled onto the floor to sleep!
She kicked around randomly? Her sleeping posture was perfectly fine, okay?
However, Qin Jue remained serious and expressionless, as if stating the facts, which made her waver again.
Qin Jue narrowed his eyes and asked her in return, "Otherwise, what do you think I did to you?"
"No." Jiang Duoduo swallowed hard, clenching her hands into small fists, then suddenly noticed a sticky feeling on her hands...
She immediately calmed her nervous heart, stopped sweating, and realized that she felt perfectly fine. Clearly, Qin Jue hadn't done anything inappropriate to her.
...
Jiang Duoduo dressed neatly and followed Qin Jue downstairs.
Qin Jue intended to take her away directly, but Old Madam Qin, who had been waiting in the living room since early morning, looked at the two of them with an inscrutable expression and a smile, saying, "Have breakfast before you leave."
The two were eventually taken to a restaurant, where a large clay pot of chicken soup and several side dishes were laid out on the table.
Grandma Qin was not polite at all, and bluntly said, "Duoduo, drink more chicken soup to nourish your body."
Jiang Duoduo thought the chicken soup was indeed quite delicious, and she kept putting spoonfuls into her mouth, asking, "What kind of nourishing soup is this?"
"I was exhausted last night, so I need to nourish myself."
"Ahem!" Jiang Duoduo immediately understood and tried her best to explain, "Last night, President Qin and I... we didn't! We really didn't!"
The smile on Old Mrs. Qin's face suddenly froze.
Jiang Duoduo watched as Grandma Qin's gaze suddenly turned to Qin Jue, her expression clearly conveying the complex meaning: Is her grandson no good? He must be no good!
After understanding, Jiang Duoduo suppressed a laugh. She also felt that... Qin Jue's rigid and serious nature might not be a good fit.
Qin Jue, however, continued eating with an indifferent attitude.

Rising star, big factory.
As Jiang Duoduo jumped out of the car, Qin Jue drove away.
She was walking towards the dance studio when Lu Ming appeared beside her at some point.
It's not early now; all the girls from "Idol Producer" have arrived at the studio. Lu Ming, holding a yogurt in his hand, took a sip and asked, feigning indifference:
"Why did Sister Duoduo get out of her cousin's car?"
Jiang Duoduo stepped aside to keep a safe distance from him and asked curiously, "You've been discharged from the hospital?"
"Um."
Last night, Lu Ming learned at the hospital that his cousin had brought his girlfriend back to the old house, and the girlfriend he brought home was Jiang Duoduo.
He was afraid that Xiao Duoduo would really be taken away, so he didn't sleep well all night and got up early in the morning to go back to the program crew after being discharged from the hospital.
He pressed on, "Sister Duoduo, answer me! Why did you get out of my cousin's car?"
"President Qin brought me here."
"So, where did Sister Duoduo sleep last night?"
"Of course it's at President Qin's house."
Lu Ming was clearly about to reveal his true nature, his voice becoming two degrees colder, "Sister Duoduo and my cousin are together?"
"No!"
Upon receiving the denial, Lu Ming relaxed. "Then why did my cousin bring you home to introduce you to Grandma as his girlfriend?"
"Isn't Grandpa Qin in poor health? Mr. Qin asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend to put the old man at ease."
"Oh, I see." Lu Ming knew Old Master Qin and Old Madam Qin's personalities all too well. "So, Sister Duoduo slept in President Qin's room last night, right?"
Jiang Duoduo responded calmly and lightly, "Mm."
This response made Lu Ming crush the yogurt bottle. "Did Qin Jue do anything to you last night?"
"No! President Qin isn't that kind of person..." Jiang Duoduo was now very clear about Lu Ming's feelings for her, and was afraid of offending him. Even if there really was something going on, she would say no.
Lu Ming frowned, leaned close to her ear, narrowed his eyes, and whispered, "Does Sister Duoduo really trust him that much?"
The cool breath near her ear sent a chill down Jiang Duoduo's spine, and she began to stammer, "President Qin really didn't do anything to me."
Lu Ming spoke again in a low, cold voice, warning: "Qin Jue is just a patient wolf!"
In less than a second, Lu Ming stepped aside as if nothing had happened, saying, "Sister Duoduo, you'd better watch out for your cousin in the future!"
Seeing how quickly Lu Ming's expression changed, Jiang Duoduo subconsciously swallowed.
