Chapter 191 Otherwise You Stay with Me
Qiao Jingyu carefully stir-fried the dishes in the pot, and when the last dish came out of the pot, she relaxed her brows with satisfaction. However, when she turned around, she was surprised to find Duan Yuchen leaning against the kitchen door in an extremely leisurely posture.
When did he appear there quietly? What was even more puzzling was that at this moment he had his eyes closed, as if he was immersed in his own world.
Qiao Jingyu's heart tightened, and she quickly put the steaming food aside, then hurriedly walked towards Duan Yuchen. She asked with a worried look on her face, "Third brother, are you feeling unwell?" Her voice was full of concern.
Hearing Qiao Jingyu's anxious question, Duan Yuchen slowly opened his deep and calm eyes, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a reassuring smile. He stretched out his right hand, gently stroked Qiao Jingyu's head, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I was just attracted by the fragrance in the room. What delicious food did you make?"
After hearing this, Qiao Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help explaining: "These are just some home-cooked dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste..." As she said this, a faint blush appeared on her face, because although she had long been accustomed to Duan Yuchen's intimate behavior of touching her hair from time to time, every time it happened, she would always involuntarily feel a strange feeling deep in her heart.
"I'm used to it!"
Qiao Jingyu: "..." You haven't even eaten it yet, how do you know if you're used to it?
"do you need my help?"
“No need!” Qiao Jingyu stretched out her hand, gently pushed Duan Yuchen who was standing beside her and said, “Third brother, please go out quickly. The kitchen smells very badly of cooking fumes. I’ve almost finished everything here, and we’ll be ready to eat soon. Please go to the restaurant and wait for me!”
Duan Yuchen looked at the gentle and lovely woman in front of him, his eyes full of doting. He smiled slightly and responded, "Okay! Then I will listen to you and go to the restaurant to wait." After that, he turned and walked towards the restaurant.
Soon, the sumptuous meal was served on the table. Qiao Jingyu sat opposite Duan Yuchen, her beautiful eyes falling on him from time to time, and she seemed a little worried. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Third brother, are you really okay?"
"It's okay." Duan Yuchen had a faint smile on his face and answered in a relaxed tone, "My injured shoulder is not my hand. Eating is not a difficult thing for me!" As he said that, he deliberately moved his intact hands to show them to Qiao Jingyu.
However, he immediately changed his tone, a sly look appeared on his face, and he continued jokingly: "But...if you really care about me and want to feed me, I won't refuse!"
Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu's pink face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She muttered to herself: This guy, what nonsense is he talking about! Who wants to feed him? People are just simply concerned about his injury.
But for some reason, looking at Duan Yuchen's smiling face and slightly ambiguous words at this moment, Qiao Jingyu suddenly felt that the third brother in front of her seemed a little different from before. What was the difference? Well... he seemed to have become more flirtatious and knew how to make people's heart beat faster! Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyu couldn't help but lower his head.
After finishing the meal, Qiao Jingyu cleaned the kitchen swiftly. She took off her apron, walked out of the kitchen lightly, and her eyes fell on the sofa in the living room. Duan Yuchen was sitting there quietly, with one hand casually resting on the back of the sofa, leaning slightly, and holding his forehead with the other hand. His eyes were a little blurry, as if he was thinking about something important.
"Third brother, isn't Song Ma here at Cuiyu Mansion?" Qiao Jingyu asked softly as she walked towards the sofa. She still remembered that when she came here last time, Song Ma had been busy taking care of everything at home.
"Yeah." Duan Yuchen responded softly, and at the same time reached out and patted the empty seat next to him, motioning Qiao Jingyu to come over and sit down.
Qiao Jingyu nodded obediently, but did not sit next to Duan Yuchen as he expected, but chose to sit a little further away. She looked at Duan Yuchen carefully and asked with concern: "Then you live here alone at night, can you cope with it?"
When Duan Yuchen heard this, he was silent for a moment, thinking about something. Then he raised his head and looked at Qiao Jingyu with a smile, and asked in a slightly teasing tone: "What should I do? How about... you come and accompany me?"
Here it comes again! It's always like this, Duan Yuchen can always easily say these words that make people blush and their heartbeats accelerate. Doesn't he really know how seductive his lazy and casual attitude and words are? Qiao Jingyu only felt a blush on her cheeks, and her heart was beating like a little rabbit.
Although Qiao Jingyu knew Duan Yuchen was joking, her heart was still beating uncontrollably!
Duan Yuchen heard that Qiao Jingyu hadn't said anything, and thought that this little girl must be shy again, so he stopped teasing her and said in a serious tone, "I'm fine, don't worry!"
"Oh!" Qiao Jingyu sat with Duan Yuchen for a while. Duan Yuchen said, "It's getting late. Go back and rest. I'll ask Dong Lei to take you back!"
Although Qiao Jingyu still had a trace of worry in her heart, she knew very well that it was not appropriate to stay overnight at this moment. And just now, Qiao Fukang called and urged her to go home as soon as possible. He must be worried about what happened on the construction site today. Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyu knew that she had to go home quickly to comfort her father and grandmother. So, she nodded gently and said softly: "Third brother, I'll leave first, I'll come to see you tomorrow morning!"
"Feng Bo will be here early tomorrow morning, so you don't have to run back and forth like this. The most important thing for you right now is to properly handle the affairs of your father's company. You should know that you only have five days left. As for me, everything is fine, don't worry." The man responded with a smile and a firm tone.
Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu nodded slightly and responded: "Okay... Third brother, then you should rest early too!" After that, she turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing into the night.
When Qiao Jingyu entered the house, the clock had quietly pointed to nearly ten o'clock. The house was brightly lit, and the whole family, young and old, sat on the sofa, waiting for her to return. The whole living room was filled with a strange and dull atmosphere, as if even the air had frozen.
Seeing Qiao Jingyu coming back, Liu Fengping held her hand affectionately and asked hurriedly, "Jingyu, how is Mr. Duan going to deal with today's incident?"
Qiao Jingyu calmly pulled her hand out, ignoring Liu Fengping. She looked at Qiao Fukang and Han Shuqin and said, "Duan Company gave us five days to investigate. If this matter has nothing to do with the company, we will hand over the culprit and continue the cooperation. If there is a problem with the company itself, we will terminate the contract after compensation."
