Chapter 172 Are You Daring Now?
"What's wrong with Assistant Feng?" At this time, Qiao Jingyu was listening attentively to the detailed introduction of the intermediary and Feng Bo at the same time.
"Mr. Duan asked you to come to Duan's." Feng Bo replied hurriedly, his tone sounding a little hasty.
"Excuse me, I have to take a call first." Qiao Jingyu gestured to the agent apologetically, then turned her attention to the phone in her hand and said into the receiver, "Assistant Feng, is there anything Mr. Duan wants to talk to me about?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. Just when Qiao Jingyu was full of doubts, Feng Bo muttered softly, "Does it count as something to coax you..." Feng Bo's voice was very low, and Qiao Jingyu didn't understand clearly, "Assistant Feng, what did you say?"
"Mr. Duan is here to talk to you about something, right?"
"I'm out here looking at offices. I can't get away. I really don't have time to go over now."
After saying this, there was another brief silence on the other end of the phone. After about two seconds, Feng Bo said, "...Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Jingyu felt as if a big stone was pressing on her chest, making her feel particularly uncomfortable. She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm her surging emotions. After a long while, she finally calmed down a little and refocused her energy on the conversation with the agent about the house.
Time passed by minute by minute. About an hour and a half later, Feng Bo's phone rang again. Qiao Jingyu pressed the answer button and said softly, "Assistant Feng."
"I'll wait for you at your door." The familiar, deep, and magnetic voice seemed to have a kind of magic, and it slowly entered Qiao Jingyu's ears through the receiver. The moment Qiao Jingyu heard this voice, he stood still as if struck by lightning, his eyes widened, his face full of unbelievable shock, his lips trembling as he murmured: "Duan... Mr. Duan..."
On the other end of the phone, Duan Yuchen seemed quite dissatisfied with this title, and his tone revealed a hint of helplessness: "Didn't I tell you not to call me Mr. Duan anymore?"
Before Qiao Jingyu could come back to her senses, Duan Yuchen immediately said, "I've prepared lunch, let's eat together."
"......Oh!" Qiao Jingyu responded subconsciously. However, when a busy tone came from the phone, she suddenly realized what she had just promised Duan Yuchen!
Having lunch together? And at her house? What on earth was going on? Countless questions flooded into Qiao Jingyu's mind, making her a little overwhelmed. But at this moment, she didn't have time to think too much. She quickly reached out to stop a taxi and hurried home.
Along the way, Qiao Jingyu's heart was pounding, and various possible scenarios kept appearing in her mind. Finally, the car stopped downstairs, and she rushed upstairs impatiently after paying the bill. As soon as she reached the stairs, she saw two figures standing in front of her house from a distance - Duan Yuchen and Feng Bo.
One of them is a tycoon who can call the shots in the business world, and the other is a well-known elite in the industry. They are dressed in clothes with exquisite tailoring and high-quality fabrics. Their every move shows elegance and composure. Just standing there, one can feel a unique and powerful aura, and one can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people.
Now it seems out of place in the old corridor.
Qiao Jingyu quickly took out the key, opened the door, and Feng Bo entered the room first.
Feng Bo carefully took out the carefully packed lunches one by one and placed them neatly and orderly on the small and exquisite dining table. After he finished all this, he turned and walked out the door. When he walked out the door, he found Qiao Jingyu and Duan Yu still standing quietly at the door.
"I'm sorry, Miss Qiao, there is an urgent matter at the company that I need to take care of, so I have to go back first. I will come back to pick up Mr. Duan in about an hour and a half. Miss Qiao, this is the first time for Mr. Duan to come here, and he may not be familiar with the surrounding environment. I'll trouble you to take care of Mr. Duan later!" Feng Bo explained these things to Qiao Jingyu with a smile on his face at a moderate pace, then turned around without hesitation, strode downstairs and left in a hurry, without even leaving Qiao Jingyu the slightest room for refusal.
At this moment, Duan Yu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Aren't you going to help me in?" The corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining an arc that seemed like a smile, and his deep eyes stared straight at Qiao Jingyu, as if with an indescribable charm.
Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu was stunned at first, but she quickly reacted. She gently reached out her hand to hold Duan Yuchen's arm, and slowly led him into the house. The two walked side by side, through the narrow aisle, and finally came to the small restaurant where a sumptuous lunch was placed.
After entering the restaurant, Qiao Jingyu carefully helped Duan Yuchen to sit on the chair, and after carefully confirming that he was sitting firmly, she gently let go of his hand, walked to the other end of the table, and sat down gracefully. However, in the following time, neither of them took the initiative to speak, but just sat there silently, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle and awkward. The only sounds in the room were the occasional light breathing and the rustling of leaves outside the window.
"Let's eat!" Duan Yuchen spoke first.
“Okay!” Qiao Jingyu secretly glanced at Duan Yuchen. These dishes were all put in by Feng Bo. I guess they were put in according to Duan Yuchen’s usual habits, right?
But Qiao Jingyu was still a little worried until she saw Duan Yuchen pick up the dishes accurately and start eating.
When Qiao Jingyu saw Duan Yuchen, she recalled what he said when he answered the phone in the car yesterday. She felt very uncomfortable and the food she ate tasted like chewing wax.
The atmosphere at the table was a bit dull, and the two of them didn't talk much during the meal.
Feng Bo said he would pick up Duan Yuchen in an hour and a half. Only forty minutes had passed, but Qiao Jingyu really didn't want to be alone with Duan Yuchen.
Qiao Jingyu cleaned up the table and came to Duan Yuchen, "Mr. Duan... I have something else to do later, otherwise I can help you call a car to go back to Duan's!"
"Are you trying to kick me out?" Duan Yuchen frowned.
"Of course not!" Qiao Jingyu said with a fake smile.
"What are you afraid of?" Duan Yuchen's thin lips curled up slightly, "No one can refuse what I say! I asked you to go to Duan's, but you refused. Now that I am here, you want to drive me away. Tell me, are you too bold now?"
Qiao Jingyu lowered her head, holding her clothes with both hands, looking at a loss. She said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Duan... I'm not... I really have something to do later."
Duan Yuchen sighed softly, "I was just joking with you, and you got so scared."
Don't you know how powerful your aura is? And are you the kind of person who can joke around?
Qiao Jingyu pursed her lips and said nothing.
