Chapter 159 No, which girl wouldn't like a candlelight dinner like this?
Qiao Jingyu gently pushed open the door, blocking out the faint light in the corridor. As she expected, the light in the room was not on. Qiao Jingyu thought to herself that maybe Duan Yuchen forgot to turn on the light. So she reached out to touch the switch on the wall and was about to turn on the light.
At this moment, a broad and powerful hand suddenly tightly grasped Qiao Jingyu's soft and boneless hand. This sudden contact made Qiao Jingyu's heart tremble violently, just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
"Don't open it!" Duan Yuchen's deep and magnetic voice sounded in the darkness. At the same time, he exerted a little force on his hand and pulled Qiao Jingyu forward. Qiao Jingyu could clearly feel the warmth coming from Duan Yuchen's palm. This strange and intimate touch made her heartbeat lose its original rhythm and become chaotic. However, despite being a little flustered, she still followed Duan Yuchen's footsteps.
They came to the living room. When Qiao Jingyu saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned. In the center of the living room was an exquisite round dining table, with a white tablecloth as pure and flawless as snowflakes. On the table were neatly laid a bottle of vintage red wine, a plate of delicious Western food, and several crystal clear goblets. In the center of the dining table were two exquisite candlesticks, with candles burning on them emitting a dim and soft light, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, illuminating the entire living room in a hazy manner, filled with an ambiguous and charming atmosphere.
All of this was so beautiful that it made people feel as if they were in a dream, unreal and unreal. Qiao Jingyu couldn't help but widen her eyes and stared blankly at the beautiful scenery in front of her, and for a moment she even forgot to speak.
Duan Yuchen slowly turned his head, his handsome face looked particularly gentle under the candlelight. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and asked softly: "How is it? Do you like this arrangement?"
"I like it." Qiao Jingyu blurted out the answer without even taking a second to think. There is no girl who would not like such a candlelight dinner!
In fact, Qiao Jingyu was wrong. The reason why she liked this candlelight dinner was not only because of the flickering candlelight, the exquisite food and the warm atmosphere, but more importantly, the person who accompanied her for dinner was Duan Yuchen. It was because of him that everything became so different and so beautiful.
Duan Yuchen stretched out his hand elegantly and gently pulled out the chair for Qiao Jingyu like a gentleman. In order to do this simple yet ritualistic action well, he actually practiced it silently for no less than ten times in private. In fact, it was not because of his poor eyesight or lack of ability to control the direction. You have to know that when he was in the army, he was trained in the dark. In an unfamiliar environment, he only needed to be given half an hour to quickly and accurately understand the surrounding situation.
But this time was different, this was his first candlelight dinner with his beloved girl! He wanted every detail to be perfect, striving to leave Qiao Jingyu with the most unforgettable memory.
Seeing this, Qiao Jingyu smiled sweetly and said politely and softly, "Thank you, Mr. Duan."
Then, Duan Yuchen slowly moved to the opposite side of the dining table and sat down calmly. He stared at Qiao Jingyu with his deep eyes and asked softly, "We should be considered friends now, right?"
Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu was slightly stunned, and thought to herself: Why did Duan Yuchen suddenly ask this question? After all, before this, he had mentioned more than once that they were friends: "Of course."
"Then you keep calling me Mr. Duan. This doesn't seem like a friend at all!" Duan Yuchen smiled and said, "You can call me by my name."
Qiao Jingyu thought to herself: I dare not call your name directly.
Hearing Qiao Jingyu remain silent, Duan Yuchen paused for a moment before speaking again: "How about this, you can also call me Third Brother. My comrades who fought alongside me used to call me that."
Qiao Jingyu raised her head slightly and looked at Duan Yuchen's handsome and charming face. After hesitating for a moment, she finally called softly, "Third brother!" Her voice was as soft as the breeze blowing across the strings of a piano.
When Duan Yuchen heard the call, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face, and that smile was as warm as the spring sun. Then, he smiled and asked, "Would you like some wine?"
Qiao Jingyu shook her head without hesitation and replied softly, "No!" Then, as if she remembered something, she quickly added, "I promised Duan... Third Brother that I would not drink from now on. Now that I have said it, I must do it."
Duan Yuchen obviously didn't expect Qiao Jingyu to answer like this. He was slightly startled, but soon came to his senses. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an interested smile, and teased: "So obedient!"
At this time, Qiao Jingyu muttered to herself: Haha! How dare I disobey you? Just like yesterday, I just drank a little for some special reasons, but you still pressed me in the car mercilessly. That kind of physical contact really makes me a little overwhelmed! However, she naturally didn't dare to say these words in front of Duan Yuchen, so she could only nod and say: "Yeah!"
Seeing Qiao Jingyu being so obedient, Duan Yuchen's smile became more and more obvious, and gradually spread. His voice was still low and magnetic, and sounded particularly gentle: "But from now on, as long as you are with me, you are allowed to drink."
When Qiao Jingyu heard this, she didn't know how to respond for a moment, and secretly complained in her heart: This person is really double-standard! But on the surface, she remained calm and just said "hmm" lightly as a reply.
When Qiao Jingyu saw Duan Yuchen picking up the bottle, she quickly stood up, "Duan..."
"Ok?"
"Third brother, I'll do it, I'll do it."
"Okay! Duan Yuchen handed the bottle to Qiao Jingyu.
When Qiao Jingyu was about to pour the wine, she suddenly remembered that Feng Bo had said before that he only poured a little for Duan Yuchen, "Third brother, Uncle Feng's drinking is not good for your eyes, you should not drink it."
"It's okay to drink a little."
Qiao Jingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then drink a little."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Duan Yuchen had a faint smile on his face when he spoke. He seemed very happy and a little doting.
Qiao Jingyu was stunned for a moment. These words sounded to her like she should listen to her wife.
Qiao Jingyu was startled by the sudden thought that popped up in her quilt, and her face turned red instantly.
After pouring the wine, Qiao Jingyu returned to her seat.
Qiao Jingyu originally thought that she would be very nervous during this meal, but Duan Yuchen kept leading the topic. They talked about everything from Mu Kaiyuan's case to Qiao Jingyu's future plans, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After dinner, the two chatted for a while, and then Duan Yuchen received a call. After hanging up, he asked Qiao Jingyu, "Feng Bo said he had something to do today and would not be back tonight. He also said that you agreed to stay here overnight."
Qiao Jingyu's face turned red again, and she whispered, "I didn't..."
Duan Yuchen was silent for a few seconds, "I'll let Dong Lei take you back..."
"Assistant Feng is not here, can you do it on your own?"
"I can."
Duan Yuchen had such a severe fever yesterday that Qiao Jingyu was a little worried. She bit her lip and said softly, "Then I...then I'd better...not leave."
"Okay!" Duan Yuchen had a sweet smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
