C19

The warmth of Lu Juyan's chest flowed down Du Ruyan's green arm to her body. Her absent-minded eyes were filled with tears as they slid down her face. She was not the least bit touched. Instead, she could not help but bawl.

The fatigue on his body and the pain in his heart caused Du Liqing to once again cry to the point where he couldn't even make a sound. It was only when her eyes were red, swollen, and sore and she could no longer shed any tears that she finally fell asleep. She unconsciously whispered, "Why did everyone do this to me?"

The bitterness in his words made Lu Juyan's heart ache. He carefully greeted her in her room, and touched her cheek with his fingertips, as if he was treating a treasure.

Lu Juyan personally put ice cubes on her swollen red eyes, hoping that they wouldn't hurt too much when they woke up tomorrow. After applying it a few times, he slowly left the room. Before he left, he even switched off the light.

Due to the failure of the lawsuit, all of Du Liqing's property was moved to his name by Sun Jiangyuan, causing Du Liqing to lose all of it. The hospital's huge bill just happened to be mailed to Lu Juyan's home.

Lu Juyan's mind rippled with the image of Du Ruyan's dejected appearance, and his heart ached slightly. Ye Zichen rubbed the envelope in his hand. He didn't intend to give this thing to her, so he subconsciously put it away.

"To pay off the debt that Dean's father had in the hospital." In his room, Lu Juyan took out his phone after showering and called a trustworthy person, ordering them to do this in private.

The other party complied. Seeing that Lu Juyan had no other instructions, they hung up the phone. He quickly gave the hospital a sum of money and helped Du Liqing repay this debt.

The next day, Dudian woke up. She didn't know if it was because of yesterday's crying or because of some other reason, but her mood was temporarily good.

She felt a cold sensation on her eyes. She walked to the mirror in the bathroom and didn't notice any swelling or redness. She couldn't help but feel gratitude towards Lu Juyan, and unintentionally revealed other emotions in her heart that she had naturally overlooked in the past.

"Time for breakfast?" Lu Juyan walked up to the door of Du Liangqing's room and knocked on it courteously. He smiled as he saw the person who opened the door.

Du Ruqing thanked Lu Juyan in a simple manner and followed him out. Looking at the tall figure of the youth, he had a faint feeling that something was amiss.

The two of them walked downstairs together. Lu Juyan pulled up a chair for her in a very gentleman's manner, indicating that she should sit here.

Du Liqing nodded, smiled and sat on the chair. Her gratitude towards Lu Juyan deepened further as she looked at the few dishes on the table that just so happened to be her favorite food.

Du Ruqing had been living in Lu Juyan's house during this period of time, and she didn't need to do anything at all. This made her feel a bit guilty.

"Thank you for this period of time. When I get back my family business, I will definitely arrange a very good job for you!"

Du Liqing held his chopsticks and poked the rice as he pondered on how he could make up for the guilt in his heart. Spreading his thoughts over his capital, he secretly decided that he had to take it home.

His words were solemn, but his eyes were very resolute as he continuously touched Lu Juyan. But there was a trace of a smile on his face as he tucked the hair of Dean's body behind his ears.

"My job is actually pretty good too." A trace of tenderness was in Lu Juyan's eyes, unwilling to let Du Liqing make too many promises.

He didn't want much, as long as she was alone, that was all.

Just as Du Xiangqing was about to try to persuade him, his phone suddenly rang. She placed her gaze on the screen and realized that it was a call from Qu Yan Shi. Her heart tightened. Without another word, he picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Qing, the letter of share transfer has been released. Furthermore, it declares that the Du Family has become a product under Sun Jiangyuan's name from now on!"

Qu Yan Shi directly told her everything she knew. Her emotions were very complicated. She never thought that Sun Jiangyuan would be so ruthless and merciless. She couldn't help but to feel worried for Du Liqing, but since all of this was related to the other party, she had no choice but to say.

There were no unnecessary words. Hearing these words, Du Liqing was already numb to it. Listening to Qu Yan's study of the breathing pattern, she slowly opened her lips, wanting to say something. In the end, she found that she could not say anything, as if something had choked her.

"Yeah, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first." Du Yun's mind was blank. At this moment, she didn't want to say anything. After hanging up, he put his phone to the side and looked straight ahead. In that instant, he lost the clarity he had from the start.

His entire mood plummeted, making Lu Juyan, who was sitting to the side, feel a bit worried. He had heard the phone call clearly, so he was the one who understood Du Liqing's mood the most.

The storyline from the past rippled through his mind, revealing a trace of a smile without denying anything.

Lu Juyan didn't say anything as he walked over to Du Liqing's side and hugged her in an attempt to give her warmth. He didn't want to see the despair on her face. He swore in his heart that he would take back everything she deserved from Sun Jiangyuan!

Du Ruqing felt the warmth of Lu Juyan's body and couldn't help but choose to approach it in order to obtain more warmth. His eyes were closed, and the slight tremble in his body was gradually relieved by the warmth.

"Why are you taking care of me?" Du Ruqing opened her eyes and leaned into Lu Juyan's embrace. She didn't notice the resolution and viciousness in his eyes, and only muttered the question of constant suspicion in her heart.

You shouldn't have been so nice to me.

It was unknown whether it was because she felt too much inferiority or because of the current situation, but it caused Du Ruqing to become more and more untrusting of others to treat her well. At the same time, she became more and more suspicious of the reason why others were so close to her.

Now that she had nothing, what did this man want?

"I, I …" Lu Juyan didn't know what to say to Du Liqing's sudden question. The hand that was attached to the man's back trembled helplessly as a trace of panic flashed in the depths of his eyes.

What am I doing this for?

Lu Juyan asked himself, but discovered that he couldn't get an answer either. He lowered his head and looked at Du Ran's delicate body. He only wanted to pity her.

The absence of Lu Juyan's answer made a mocking smile appear on the corners of Du Liqing's lips. He didn't make any sound at all. The pain in her heart made her more and more numb. The fragmented feelings in her heart made her feel more and more that her heart had already died, and she didn't know if she should trust anyone else.

Du Liqing didn't know if he should believe the man in front of him.

The two of them did not speak, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other's feelings. The two of them had different emotions, but neither of them had the intention of harming the other.
