Rebirth, the domineering president's unbridled love

Chapter 195 Pretending to be a girlfriend

The man just stood there quietly, leaving Qiao Jingyu with only a broad and tall back. However, such a simple figure seemed to possess an invisible magic that attracted her eyes involuntarily, and even made her a little dazed and confused.

At this moment, a slight sound was heard, and Duan Yuchen was keenly aware of this change. He said to the phone in his hand: "Don't worry, I will be there on time. But I have something to deal with now, so let's leave it at that for now, and we'll talk later." After that, he quickly pressed the button to end the call and carefully put the phone with a special button into his trouser pocket.

Then, Duan Yuchen slowly turned around, with a gentle smile on his face, and called softly: "Jingyu, come here quickly!"

Qiao Jingyu was slightly stunned, her heart filled with surprise and confusion. Because from beginning to end, she had not said a single word, but Duan Yuchen was able to know so accurately that it was her who came. Moreover, this kind of situation seemed to be more than the first time it happened.

Full of curiosity and confusion, Qiao Jingyu quickly walked up to Duan Yuchen. Finally, she couldn't hold back her inner doubts and blurted out, "Third brother, I haven't said anything yet, how did you know it was mine?"

Facing Qiao Jingyu's innocent question, Duan Yuchen smiled and patiently explained, "In fact, the sound everyone makes when walking is different, just like a unique fingerprint. So as long as you listen carefully, you can roughly judge who the person approaching is by the sound of footsteps."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Qiao Jingyu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then Third Brother, do you always rely on listening to the footsteps to identify the identity of the visitor?"

Duan Yuchen was silent for a moment, then replied, "That's basically it." However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out his hand and gently rubbed Qiao Jingyu's soft hair, and added in an especially doting tone, "But for you, even if you stay still and quiet, I can immediately feel that you are by my side."

"So amazing?" Qiao Jingyu widened her watery eyes, approached Duan Yuchen with curiosity, and asked impatiently, "Third brother, how did you determine that?"

Duan Yuchen raised his chin slightly, a faint and mysterious smile quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he responded softly: "It's just a feeling." His eyes as deep as the sea seemed to contain endless wisdom.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu couldn't help but stand there in a daze, muttering to herself: "... Is this possible? Can such an accurate judgment be made based on feeling alone?" However, when she saw the confident look on Duan Yuchen's face, she felt that maybe it was really as magical as he said.

At this moment, Duan Yuchen suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Does what you said two days ago still count?" As he spoke, he stretched out a broad and warm hand and stroked Qiao Jingyu's soft and shiny long hair with interest.

Qiao Jingyu blinked her bright eyes and tried to recall what she had said two days ago, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, her mind was still blank. She shook her head blankly and asked in confusion: "What did I say? Why don't I have any impression of it at all?"

Duan Yuchen looked at Qiao Jingyu, who was bewildered, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing softly. His hand, which had been quietly resting on the ends of Qiao Jingyu's hair, slowly slid down along her silky hair, and finally gently landed on her fair and delicate forehead.

Then, Duan Yuchen extended his slender index finger and gently touched Qiao Jingyu's smooth forehead like a breeze blowing across the lake. Along with this action, he uttered a sentence full of intimacy and pampering: "Your little head, I don't know what's in it all day long! Do you remember two days ago? You said something solemnly at that time, but after only a few days, you actually threw those words out of your mind?"

Hearing Duan Yuchen's slightly teasing words, Qiao Jingyu's delicate little face instantly flushed with a faint blush, looking even more shy and cute. She frowned tightly, narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought. Time passed by, but no matter how hard she racked her brains and thought, she could not remember what crucial words she had said.

Finally, Qiao Jingyu seemed to give up resistance and sighed softly. She raised her head and looked at Duan Yuchen with a watery gaze, "Third brother, please stop keeping me in suspense! What did I say?"

Duan Yuchen raised his lips slightly. He deliberately slowed down his speech and said word by word: "You said at that time that if I ever need you in the future, you would come forward without hesitation and go through fire and water for me to repay me for saving your life! How about it, you finally remember it now, right?"

Qiao Jingyu: "..." Did you say this with full confidence? This was clearly said in anger.

If Duan Yuchen hadn't hugged her in time to avoid the concrete blocks falling from the tunnel that day, she might have lost her life. It is a fact that he saved her life, and he should repay him.

Qiao Jingyu now really spoke with a solemn oath, "Third brother, if you need any help from me, just tell me. I will do my best."

"Hmm..." Duan Yuchen had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be very satisfied with what Qiao Jingyu said, but his next words scared Qiao Jingyu so much that she froze in place.

He said, "Be my girlfriend?"

Qiao Jingyu's heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out. She thought she must have heard it wrong, and asked with a trembling mouth, "Third brother...you...what did you say?"

"My grandma remembers wanting a granddaughter-in-law, and I promised to bring her one tonight. Can you pretend to be my girlfriend temporarily?" There was a hint of loss in Duan Yuchen's voice.

So it’s just pretending for one night! It’s not true!

Qiao Jingyu's excitement and joy faded away in an instant, replaced by endless loss, and she whispered, "Okay..."

The Duan family’s old house - Cuiliu Villa.

Duan Yuchen and Qiao Jingyu got out of the car together. Duan Yuchen tilted his head and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Qiao Jingyu answered truthfully, "A little bit."

Duan Yuchen reached out and held Qiao Jingyu's white and tender little hand in his palm, "Don't be nervous, I'm here!"

Qiao Jingyu's eyes lingered on their hands, then she suppressed the throbbing in her heart and said softly, "Okay..."

Qiao Jingyu had been to Cuiliu Villa once before. That time, Jiang Mubai was punished by Duan Yuchen because of her and she came to plead for him. She came and left in a hurry and only went to Duan Yuchen's room.

This time, Duan Yuchen took her on a completely different route. After passing through a lush bamboo forest, they arrived at a duplex villa.

Duan Yuchen seemed to notice Qiao Jingyu's nervousness, so he stopped and said softly, "Don't be nervous, just treat this as your own home."
