Chapter 190: Always Think of Yourself
"Um……"
At this moment, Qiao Jingyu suddenly heard a dull hum, and then Duan Yuchen's low and magnetic voice also sounded in her ears: "You pulled my wound."
Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu's struggling body suddenly froze, and all her movements stopped in an instant. After just a second, she asked anxiously, "How is it? Is everything okay? Do you need to see a doctor?"
However, Duan Yuchen didn't seem to care about his injuries. He said softly, "As long as you don't move around, I'll be fine."
Qiao Jingyu listened to Duan Yuchen's tone and soon noticed that there was a hint of smile in his voice. In an instant, the grievance and worry in her heart turned into a trace of uncontrollable anger. However, considering the wound on Duan Yuchen's shoulder, she finally suppressed her anger and did not struggle to break free from his restraints. She just twisted her body gently and said coquettishly: "Mr. Duan, please be more respectful."
Facing Qiao Jingyu's slightly angry words, Duan Yuchen was not angry at all. Instead, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile full of pampering and a hint of helplessness. He slowly said: "Why are you calling me Mr. Duan again? Didn't you always call me Third Brother before? Besides, the reason I did this was entirely for your sake. I don't want to hear others talking behind my back, saying that you were able to win the entertainment city project purely because you climbed into my bed..."
Qiao Jingyu's body suddenly froze, and she heard the man's gentle voice slowly coming again, "With the in-depth investigation, the people in the company will know that you are Qiao Fukang's daughter sooner or later."
Qiao Jingyu's heart moved, and she instantly understood the deep meaning behind Duan Yuchen's move. If he had openly favored Qiao Fukang just now, once everyone knew his true identity, they would definitely speculate about the complicated relationship between her and Duan Yuchen. In this way, people might even have doubts about her signing the contract in the first place, and then wonder if there was a hidden secret in it.
"It is indeed difficult for the Duan family to conduct an in-depth investigation on this matter. After all, we can't just break into your father's company and conduct a comprehensive investigation, right? Moreover, in fact, the matters we need to verify can be completed in about a day at most. However, the reason why I just claimed that it would take five days is actually because I hope you can take this opportunity to make full use of these days to go to your father's company and conduct a thorough and detailed investigation. Such a large-scale engineering project dared to cut corners, which is definitely not something that only individual personnel in the procurement department can do. There must be the possibility that the company's senior management is colluding with it. So what I said before is that as long as Yukang Company can hand in a satisfactory answer and is willing to continue to cooperate with it, when you successfully find out the mastermind behind the scenes, you can push him out and let him bear the corresponding responsibility. In this way, your father's company can still continue to undertake the entertainment city project."
Duan Yuchen was like a steadfast mountain, still holding Qiao Jingyu tightly in his arms. Qiao Jingyu's petite body fit perfectly on his broad and solid chest. She could clearly hear Duan Yuchen's strong and steady heartbeat, each of which hit her heart like a heavy hammer. At this moment, an unprecedented warm feeling surged through her body like a tide, making her intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.
Duan Yuchen has always given people the impression of being so cold and ruthless, like ice that has not melted for a thousand years, but now Qiao Jingyu suddenly realized that all this was just an appearance. In fact, he has been silently caring about her, and even thought about how to investigate the matter so carefully and meticulously, and told her one by one. Qiao Jingyu thought to herself that this matter was most likely Liu Fengping's doing, but Duan Yuchen was still unaware of it. Looking at the man in front of her who was concentrating on giving her advice, Qiao Jingyu couldn't help but feel ripples in her heart, and her feelings of being moved were beyond words.
Instantly, a hot current rushed to her head, and Qiao Jingyu felt her cheeks burning. How she wanted to reach out her hands and hug Duan Yuchen's lean and strong waist tightly, but just when her hands were about to touch his body, she suddenly hesitated, and finally did not dare to really take action. So, she had to gently rub her head on Duan Yuchen's chest for a few times, and whispered in a slightly shy tone: "Thank you!"
Duan Yuchen's big, broad hands gently stroked Qiao Jingyu's long black hair that fell like a waterfall, and he said slowly, "If you need any help, just go find Feng Bo."
"Okay!" Qiao Jingyu responded, but she still had a lot to ask Duan Yuchen in her heart. She really wanted to know why Duan Yuchen always treated her so attentively. However, she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
Last time when he helped her prepare an office building, Qiao Jingyu finally plucked up the courage and asked him why he was so good to me. "At that time, Duan Yuchen just smiled and replied, "Because you are worth it!" Such a simple sentence made Qiao Jingyu's heart instantly a mess.
She really didn't dare to imagine whether Duan Yuchen did these things because he liked her. If he really liked her, why didn't he tell her the truth when she asked him directly? But if he didn't like her, why did he take such great care of her?
Shouldn't those warm hugs and patient persuasion only exist between lovers? Whenever Qiao Jingyu thought of this, she felt as if she was trapped in a foggy mystery and couldn't figure it out. And what kind of feelings Duan Yuchen had for her was even more elusive for her.
After the two talked, Duan Yuchen said that he still had some work to do, so Qiao Jingyu left the room first. After Duan Yuchen finished the work at hand, he slowly walked down the stairs. Suddenly, he heard a burst of noise coming from the kitchen downstairs, mixed with the aroma of food. Out of curiosity, he walked towards the kitchen. The crisp sound of the spatula hitting the bottom of the pot, and the sound of the range hood...
Even though Duan Yuchen couldn't see, the feeling brought to him by his sense of smell and hearing made him feel very happy and beautiful...
He could imagine what a beautiful picture it was to see a girl wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen, and she was busy for herself.
The years are peaceful and the rest of my life is long. Having you cook for me is enough for me in this life!
