Chapter 160 There is indeed a traitor
Qiao Jingyu recalled the last time Duan Yuchen bumped into the table and even knocked over a chair. She was still frightened and didn't have the courage to spend the night on the sofa in the living room, so she decided to sleep on the floor in the bedroom.
Although she knew that Duan Yuchen was blind, for some reason, Qiao Jingyu still felt uncomfortable when she was in the same room with him. She lay obediently on the floor, and was very careful when she moved, for fear of making any noise.
At this moment, the whole room was strangely quiet, so quiet that one could clearly hear the two people's breathing. Qiao Jingyu felt that this atmosphere was so oppressive that she couldn't breathe. If she continued to be in a stalemate, she might be suffocated to death. After thinking it over, she finally plucked up the courage and took the initiative to talk to Duan Yuchen: "Third brother, are you asleep?"
After a while, Duan Yuchen's low and brief answer came from the darkness: "No."
After getting the response, Qiao Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
Duan Yuchen didn't seem to mind her question, and replied calmly, "Go ahead and ask."
Qiao Jingyu hesitated for a moment, and finally said what was in her mind: "Third brother, what kind of girls do you like?" As soon as she said it, she regretted it a little, worried that it would cause Duan Yuchen to misunderstand. So she hurriedly added: "Last time you asked me what kind of man I like, and I told you honestly! So this time I'm going to ask you, this is fair."
Duan Yuchen was silent for a long time after hearing her words. Just when Qiao Jingyu thought he would not answer, she suddenly heard him slowly say: "I like you like this..."
After hearing what Duan Yuchen said, Qiao Jingyu's heart began to beat wildly again. Duan Yuchen actually said that he liked her like this! But what does this mean? But doesn't he already have someone he likes? Could it be... could it be that, as she guessed, it was just because her personality was similar to his sweetheart's, that he was so caring and considerate to her?
When she thought of this possibility, Qiao Jingyu's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and she was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe. That heavy feeling was like a huge mountain pressing down on her heart, making her breathless.
"Why aren't you talking?" Duan Yuchen's deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang out in this room that was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly.
However, Qiao Jingyu was already thinking about a lot of things at the moment, and she had no intention of responding to him. After a moment of silence, she said softly in a slightly hoarse voice: "...I'm sleepy..."
"Go to sleep, good night..." Duan Yuchen said gently, and he said the last sentence "my girl" silently in his heart.
"Good night."
The night was getting deeper and deeper. It was pitch black all around, with only a faint moonlight shining through the window. Qiao Jingyu closed her eyes tightly, trying to fall asleep, but the thoughts in her mind were surging like a tide, and she couldn't stop them. Before she knew it, her tears had quietly fallen, soaking a large area of the pillow.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was unknown how long it had been before Duan Yuchen heard the girl's even and steady breathing. He got out of bed carefully, fearing that any noise would wake up the sleeping person. Then, he walked gently to the bed, picked up Qiao Jingyu very gently, slowly put her back on the bed, and carefully covered her with a blanket. After doing all this, Duan Yuchen quietly stared at Qiao Jingyu's quiet and sweet face. He wanted to see the appearance of his beloved, the doting and cherishing in his eyes, and a hint of regret.
He kissed her smooth forehead gently, "Are you scared by my words, or are you indifferent to them?"
He spoke in a soft voice, with cherishment and a little helplessness.
The next morning, Qiao Jingyu woke up and found herself in bed, but Duan Yuchen was nowhere to be found.
Qiao Jingyu turned around and got out of bed, walked lightly to the door, opened it gently, and saw Duan Yuchen sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone with someone unknown.
Duan Yuchen heard a slight sound and turned to look in the direction of the bedroom, "Wake up!"
"Ah."
"Then go wash up first. I ordered breakfast."
"Oh!"
Meng Yu, who was on the phone with Duan Yuchen, seemed to have discovered a new world, his tone full of curiosity and gossip, "There's a woman in your room so early?"
"Um……"
"Ah!" Meng Yu yelled, "It's really unfair. I'm a handsome guy who's loved by everyone, but I don't have a woman. How could you have one? Even your iron tree has blossomed, and you don't like your little sweetheart anymore? You're such a scumbag, changing your heart so quickly."
Duan Yuchen frowned slightly, "Don't you have enough women? How do you know that the one just now was not her?"
"We are different. I did it to relieve my loneliness, but you did it to get married."
The doorbell rang. "I'm going to have breakfast. That's it for now!" Duan Yuchen was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait a minute." Meng Yu's tone suddenly became serious. "I have checked everything I can. I have confirmed that there was a traitor back then. There will be no other results if I continue to investigate. You have to investigate the rest."
"Yeah." Duan Yuchen's brows suddenly became sharp and sinister.
"When can I drink your wedding wine?" The broken window,
Dai Qin sat on the sofa with disheveled hair and a haggard face, looking at the broken window, crying and shouting at Lu Jinghai, "It's all your fault. You didn't enjoy your good life, but insisted on doing something illegal. Not only will you go to jail, but you will also put your son in jail."
"Why are you crying? You're mourning here so early in the morning. I'm not dead yet!" Lu Jinghai roared in annoyance.
Dai Qin wiped her tears. She, who was always weak, became tough. "You ruined our home like this and you didn't let me say anything. Do you think I don't know about the mistresses you have outside? I turned a blind eye to them because you could give Yuan Er and me a good living condition. Do you think this is the life we live now? I want to divorce you."
"Do you think that if you divorce me, Yuan'er will no longer be my son? You and your son will be able to live a peaceful life? You have long been labeled as my wife and son, Lu Jinghai, and you will never be able to take it off in this lifetime."
Dai Qin burst into tears when she heard this, "Why is my life so miserable, marrying a bastard like you..."
