Chapter 173 Is it possible that his sweetheart is me?
"Can you please not treat me as an elder, and not care about my identity as the president of Duan Group, and just treat me as a friend, okay?" Duan Yuchen's voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying an invisible magic, trying to break the invisible but real barrier between the two of them.
However, Qiao Jingyu just shook her head gently. Although she didn't say anything, she thought firmly in her heart: "No!" To her, Duan Yuchen was not only an elder, but also the high and mighty president of Duan Group. The gap in status and identity made it difficult for her to easily overcome the psychological barrier and treat him as a friend.
Duan Yuchen quietly waited for Qiao Jingyu's response. As time passed, the air around him seemed to become heavy. After a long time, he still didn't hear a word from Qiao Jingyu. He couldn't help but sigh slightly. He had guessed what she was thinking. Helplessly, he gently rubbed his brows, then pointed to the inconspicuous file bag on the table and said, "Open the file bag on the table and take a look."
Qiao Jingyu looked in the direction Duan Yuchen pointed, and then she noticed the file bag. In fact, she had seen it on the dining table when she walked into the room, but at that time she thought it was just something Duan Yuchen needed for his afternoon work, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Hearing Duan Yuchen say this, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and at the same time, a little doubt surged in her heart: "Is this file bag for me?"
With such doubts in mind, Qiao Jingyu slowly stood up and walked towards the dining table. She stretched out her slender fingers and carefully picked up the file bag. It felt heavy in her hands, and she didn't know what important things were in it. After standing still, she took a deep breath and slowly opened the file bag. As the seal was opened, neatly stacked files appeared in front of her.
Qiao Jingyu first took out the topmost document and unfolded it. It turned out to be a copy of the property rights of the Duan Building, with the official seal of the Duan Group clearly stamped on it. Her eyes widened and she stared at the document in disbelief, not understanding why such a thing was here. Then, she turned to the next page and found that it was a copy of the business license of the Duan Group, which was also stamped with the official seal. Looking further back, there were two identical contracts, each with Duan Yuchen's signature and a bright and eye-catching official seal.
With these crucial documents, Qiao Jingyu was finally able to start registering her own business license on the online platform! In fact, she had been so anxious to find a suitable house for this reason - all the conditions required for the registration license were basically complete, and the only thing missing was an accurate office address.
To her surprise, Duan Yuchen not only generously rented her three spacious and bright offices in the Duan Building, but also carefully prepared all the necessary information for her.
The more crucial point is that the magnificent building of Duan Group is located in the most prosperous and lively area in the city center, which is a veritable prime location. Normally, renting Duan Group’s building is not easy to achieve with money alone, but Duan Yuchen is willing to rent it to himself at a normal and reasonable price in the market!
At this moment, the excitement deep in Qiao Jingyu's heart was like a surging wave, almost bursting out uncontrollably. She asked excitedly, "Mr. Duan, are you sure you want to rent these three offices to me?" Her words were full of disbelief and joy.
Duan Yuchen nodded slightly and replied softly, "Yes, that's right. The key is in that file bag, and two of the three offices are interconnected."
Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu couldn't wait to take out a pen from her bag. Just as she bent down to sign the lease contract, she suddenly paused. After a brief hesitation, she gently put the pen cap on, slowly stood up, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I can't sign this word."
"Hmm?" Duan Yuchen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Qiao Jingyu lowered her eyes and held the pen tightly in her hand. Perhaps because she was holding the pen too tightly, the joints of her fingers turned white.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Jingyu seemed to muster up the courage to ask, "Mr. Duan, why are you so nice to me?"
"Because you're worth it!" Duan Yuchen slowly stood up as he said this. His tall and straight figure was like a towering mountain, emitting a powerful aura that could not be ignored. He walked towards Qiao Jingyu step by step with steady and powerful steps.
When he finally stood in front of Qiao Jingyu, he stretched out his slender fingers and gently touched Qiao Jingyu's head. The movement was as gentle as the breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples. Then, he gently rubbed Qiao Jingyu's hair with a little force, as if he was treating an extremely precious treasure. At the same time, his magnetic voice said very gently: "I don't have a girlfriend, and I never like to have too much contact with other women, but you are the only girl who can make me willing to get close to you."
Qiao Jingyu was stunned when she heard Duan Yuchen's sudden confession. She stared at the god-like handsome man in front of her with wide eyes and disbelief. She wanted to escape from his warm palm, but her body seemed to be under a spell and could not move at all. She could only stand there stiffly. After a while, she stammered, "Mr. Duan... why are you telling me this?"
Duan Yuchen smiled slightly, gazed at Qiao Jingyu affectionately, and said slowly: "Because I want you to know all this."
These few simple words were like a thunderclap in Qiao Jingyu's ears. Her heart trembled suddenly, and an indescribable joy surged in her heart. "...Oh!" She nodded subconsciously, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. At this moment, knowing that Duan Yuchen didn't have a girlfriend, her heart, which had become depressed and uncomfortable because of her wild thoughts since yesterday, was instantly like a spring breeze blowing away the haze, and suddenly became clear.
At this moment, Duan Yuchen's warm palm slid down from Qiao Jingyu's head and finally stopped on her shoulder. He slightly increased the strength of his hand and said softly: "Well, can you please take me to familiarize myself with the environment here?"
At this moment, the distance between the two was so close that they could almost feel each other's breathing. Qiao Jingyu could even clearly smell the charming scent of Duan Yuchen, which was unique to mature men, and the heat coming from his palms. This close contact made her heart beat faster involuntarily, and her cheeks gradually became as bright as the sunset.
Qiao Jingyu's heart was beating uncontrollably and she felt like she was about to melt.
Qiao Jingyu said softly, "Okay!"
Qiao Jingyu helped Duan Yuchen walk around the small two-bedroom apartment they rented. In the past, Qiao Jingyu thought that Duan Yuchen was a person who was out of her reach, and she didn't dare to expect him to look at her differently.
But what he just said, and the few times he said, each time he helped her at the most critical moment.
Maybe he has feelings for himself too?
Duan Yuchen said that she didn't have a girlfriend, but he had a lover. However, during this period of time, she had almost never seen Duan Yuchen in contact with any girl, and he just said that she was the only girl he was willing to contact.
Could it be that the person he loves is me?
