Chapter 193 Are You in Love with Me?
"Su Yanqing, it's me, Xiao Chuyi. Can you hear me now?"
Xiao Chuyi asked in a low voice, trying to keep his voice calm so as to bring some peace of mind to Su Yanqing who was in an anxious state.
Despite being extremely weak, Su Yanqing still managed to squeeze out some sounds to express her extreme discomfort at the moment: "It's... hot! I want to take a shower!"
Her tone sounded extremely anxious, and she said this with almost her last bit of strength.
After hearing Su Yanqing's request, Xiao Chuyi did not hesitate for too long. He picked her up again and walked towards the bathroom. There, he gently placed Su Yanqing into the bathtub that was already filled with clean water.
In order to prevent the cold water temperature from exacerbating the pain in her body, he also deliberately chose a gentle water flow temperature instead of using cold water directly.
Based on previous experience, Xiao Chuyi knew that the feeling this type of poison gave people was as uncomfortable as countless ants crawling and gnawing under the skin at the same time, and the burning heat was even more unbearable.
However, even after taking a cold shower for a while, Su Yanqing still felt extremely hot all over, and it only slightly relieved some of the discomfort.
Seeing her twisting her body in the water because of pain and trying hard to break free from this torment, Xiao Chuyi reached out without hesitation and pulled her out of the bathtub. He casually wiped her still wet body a few times and hurriedly took her back to the bedroom to take care of her.
The effect of the medicine made Su Yanqing bolder than usual. She kept calling Xiao Chuyi's name, her voice full of desire and tenderness.
This emotion made Xiao Chuyi unable to suppress the love for her deep in his heart.
Before he was exhausted and about to fall asleep, he still kissed her earlobe gently and said to her in a loving voice:
"I really miss you so much."
The next day at noon, when the warm sunlight shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains, Su Yanqing slowly opened her eyes.
She found herself lying quietly in Xiao Chuyi's broad and warm arms.
What happened last night seemed to her like a beautiful but unreal dream.
Feeling her slight movement, Xiao Chuyi subconsciously tightened his arms around her.
The passionate and proactive behavior of last night and the scenes of her repeatedly pestering him for further intimate contact emerged in her mind, which made the originally shy girl blush suddenly.
She quickly buried her face in the soft and comfortable pillow, trying to hide her shy expression.
Seeing this, Xiao Chuyi smiled, then stood up and sat up straight, asking, "Isn't it a little late to feel embarrassed now?"
At this moment, as she moved her shoulder slightly, an obvious scab formed on her shoulder due to the scar became particularly glaring.
"Is this the new job you've been doing since you left me?"
The man who was smiling a moment ago suddenly turned cold and serious.
"Then how on earth did you find me?"
When asked about this topic, Su Yanqing asked with some curiosity and doubt.
"I saw one of your colleagues standing outside, crying out your name, and your company's boss was blocking anyone from approaching. Judging from this scene, I guess something might have gone wrong. Luckily, I happened to be in this area today to discuss something, but what would you do if it were any other day?"
Xiao Chuyi said with a hint of blame in his tone.
After hearing this, Su Yanqing couldn't help but curl her lips, wondering if it was really appropriate to discuss such things in this place...
"Quit your job and I can open you your own dance studio."
He made such a suggestion sincerely.
"Do you mean you want me to continue to be your significant other?"
In response to his proposal, Su Yanqing responded directly, with a hint of impatience in her words.
This question stunned him for a moment.
Indeed, he missed the other person's beautiful appearance very much. That kind of delicate appearance always made people's heart beat faster.
He also missed her unique personality, her unconventional way of doing things that always surprised him.
Of course, there is also that familiar body. The days when they used to be closely dependent on each other are now out of reach.
However, he hesitated about whether to develop a romantic relationship again. After all, reality is always full of complicated factors...
At this moment, a push notification suddenly lit up on Su Yanqing's mobile phone screen: News came that the president of GM Group and the daughter of the chairman of MO Group were engaged.
Upon seeing this news, Su Yanqing's heart suddenly tightened. The man standing in front of her was the one to whom she had just announced the good news, and MO Group happened to be the company where her father had worked in the past.
All this seemed like an irony, and she felt mixed emotions in an instant.
At this moment, tears flowed uncontrollably and slid down her cheeks.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but the tears still flowed down her face.
"Are you going to make me your secret lover for life?"
There was a hint of bitterness in her words, and her voice became a little hoarse.
Faced with Xiao Chuyi's silence, Su Yanqing felt powerless and heartbroken. Finally, she couldn't help but sneer, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Congratulations on your engagement, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Chuyi remained calm. He didn't seem shaken by Su Yanqing's questioning. Instead, he said, "This is just a business marriage. I don't have any feelings for her. Although I'm asking you to be my lover, I can guarantee that I will treat you well. Your life will be much better than most people's."
Hearing this, a trace of grief and despair flashed in Su Yanqing's eyes. She asked softly, "Boss Xiao, I'm going to ask you, are you in love with me?"
Xiao Chuyi also realized at this time that his recent behavior was indeed a bit abnormal. He thought it was very irrational to care so much about a woman.
If this is love, he will bravely admit it.
"I kind of like you."
He said in a calm tone.
However, this sentence made Su Yanqing feel even more painful.
She shook her head and said, "You like me, but you want to marry another woman, and you want me to continue to play the role of the third party. I really can't bear this kind of love. Thank you for saving me yesterday, but from now on, I hope we don't meet again."
Her tone was firm and heavy, as if she had made a final decision.
After returning home, Su Yanqing went to her boss to resign the next day.
When Guo Chen saw Su Yanqing appear at the door, he immediately realized that something was wrong and tears welled up in his eyes. "Su Yanqing, are you okay?"
she inquired eagerly.
