Forced Marriage: The Evil CEO Hubby - C179
Relying on his height, Lu Juyan, who was standing beside Du Yanqing, just so happened to notice this. She was feeling extremely complicated as she resisted the urge to hang up on Du Yanqing, and secretly took a deep breath to calm herself down.
“I found out that the boy’s family members are from the same family as the one that looked like him.”
Gu Li felt the anticipation in Du Yanqing’s words, and he was inexplicably happy in the bottom of his heart. Lowering his eyes, he looked at the information on the computer and informed them.
“Thank you! I’ll go take a look later. ”
In this period of time, the boy’s warning kept echoing in Du Yanqing’s dreams, causing her to feel uneasy almost every night, as if something was pressing down on her heart. Now that she had obtained the confirmed information, she was extremely happy and excited to thank Gu Li. She hung up and glanced at the taxi on the side of the street. She decided to go and see the place and return it to its owner.
Regarding Lu Juyan’s existence, Du Yanqing did not wish to place any restrictions at all. She had ignored yesterday’s memories as if nothing had happened. The uneasiness in her heart made her not dare to get too close to Lu Juyan, in order to avoid falling too deep into his embrace.
“I’ll send you there!”
Just as Du Yanqing was about to stop a taxi, he grabbed her hand. Looking into her clear eyes, she spoke word by word with extreme seriousness and determination. It was as if she was making an oath.
Du Yanqing felt the warmth on Lu Juyan’s palm, and his heart trembled slightly. The rejection that he wanted to say was stopped by the reflection in his deep eyes. Xiao Yan shifted his gaze away, pursed his lips and nodded indifferently.
Along the way, the two of them did not speak a word. The only thing left in the silent atmosphere was the radio in the car playing a slow and beautiful song, which was used to cover up the awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
When the two of them reached their destination, Lu Juyan stopped the car. Du Yanqing noticed his action of undoing the seat belt and immediately spoke out to stop him, “You can go back to work first.”
It was unknown if it was because of the rejection in the bottom of Du Yanqing’s heart, or because she was afraid that Lu Juyan’s temper would scare the boy’s family, but she inexplicably wanted to drive Lu Juyan away. He casually unfastened his seatbelt and looked at the small villa in front of him, but did not dare to turn his head to look at Lu Juyan.
This obvious consolation made Lu Juyan’s heart tighten, and his movements abruptly stopped as well. He turned his head to the side and looked at Du Yanqing, his heart feeling bitter, but he was even more worried that Du Yanqing had calmed down and was not willing to leave.
Du Yanqing, who did not receive a reply, mistakenly thought that Lu Juyan was just tacitly admitting it. He opened the car door and was about to leave. However, she did not know that Lu Juyan was even faster than her, and was directly in front of her. He used one hand to support himself on the carriage to block her path, and very cautiously opened his mouth to say: “I want to accompany you!”
The distance between the two was extremely close, so close that Du Yanqing was able to hear the soft sounds of his breathing and feel the hot air coming from his body. Du Yanqing didn’t know what to do, and wasn’t willing to maintain this posture either. She reached out her hand and tried to push away his arm.
After repeating this several times, Lu Juyan was still holding onto his hands. He turned his face to face with’s, but realized that he didn’t have the slightest intention to move away at all.
“Let’s go.”
The more time he had with Lu Juyan, the more Du Yanqing didn’t know what to do. He put his hands down and tightly grabbed her bag. He lowered his eyes and a trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes. He sighed in his heart and decided to agree.
This late consent made a trace of sweetness in Lu Juyan’s heart, and the bitter feeling also suddenly disappeared. He let go of the hand that seemed to be stuck there and walked out indifferently. Beneath the cold mask was a rippling pool of spring water, which was exceptionally tender.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of the small villa. Du Yanqing naturally pressed the doorbell, and calmly stood in place, waiting for the door to open. Lu Juyan, who was standing at the side, just happened to help Du Yanqing block the rising sun, and gave her a cold feeling.
The woman who opened the door looked at Du Yanqing’s face, and felt that he looked a little familiar. Gu Li’s words appeared in his mind, inviting them to enter, he decided to ask more.
“This is the woman I just mentioned to you.”
Du Yanqing’s appearance caused an expression of anticipation to flash past his eyes, and he very naturally introduced the people to the Shen Family. Her gaze landed on Lu Juyan who was behind her. The emotions in her heart were slightly complicated, but her face still remained indifferent.
It was unknown if Du Yanqing was too kind, or if Gu Li had already established a good relationship with the Shen Family. This allowed everyone to have no objections to the existence of Du Yanqing and her, and also allowed them to receive good tea in a very courteous manner.
Facing Gu Li who had arrived a long time ago, a trace of astonishment flashed through Du Liqing’s heart. However, in the blink of an eye, he used another excuse to explain the situation. “With a polite smile on his face, he greeted everyone.
Lu Juyan who was seated at the side also agreed, and did not say another word as he fell silent. Glancing at Gu Li who was seated opposite to him, he felt a faint sense of dissatisfaction from the bottom of his heart. With a stern face, he pretended that he didn’t exist.
“Miss Du, may I ask if you could show us that jade pendant that boy gave you?”
On the sofa, the middle-aged woman who was in an emotional state placed her gaze on Du Yanqing. She opened her mouth, and only after a long while did she think of the appropriate words to ask.
Her hand tightly held onto the hand of the man she was nestling against. Her lips were slightly pale and her eyes were filled with worry and unease. Deep in her heart, she was faintly hoping that her child was still alive. Unfortunately, reality was constantly destroying her thoughts.
The man held the woman in his arms, and patted her on the shoulder in an attempt to soothe her emotions. A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. She looked to be over a hundred years old, and there was an vicissitudes of life in her.
After nearly ten years of searching, they had encountered many scams and swindles, causing them to have no choice but to be more cautious.
“Alright.”
Du Yanqing felt the atmosphere, his mind thinking back to that day, he felt guilty towards this family. She lowered her head and took out a box from her bag. He opened the box and handed both hands to the woman who opened the door.
The woman lowered her gaze as she received the jade pendant. A familiar feeling pierced her eyes, making her eyes fill up with tears. She secretly endured the urge to cry. He turned around and walked in front of his master and wife, and handed over the jade pendant with both hands. Then, he turned around and returned to where he had been.
