Chapter 213
Chu Yang's expression remained calm as she said, "Let's check the car first."
Chairman Qian looked at his driver, who immediately went to inspect the vehicle. At first, everything seemed fine, but then he discovered that someone had tampered with the brakes. Not only that, but the steering wheel also had issues.
The driver's face turned pale as he nervously reported to Chairman Qian, "The car's brakes and steering wheel have been tampered with. If we had driven off earlier, then..."
The driver didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood the implications.
Chi Bai was also shocked. "Check the security cameras right away!" It was clear that the car had been sabotaged in their building's parking lot, as it had been fine when Chairman Qian first arrived.
"Yes, sir."
Chairman Qian looked visibly shaken, pondering who might want to harm him.
Chi Yan suggested, "Grandfather, I heard you were planning to go golfing today. Perhaps we should cancel and return to the office? We can wait for the security footage results there."
Everyone agreed.
"Check Grandfather's car as well," Chi Yan instructed the driver.
"Certainly."
They took the elevator directly to the top floor, to Chi Bai's office. Chu Yang followed behind Chi Yan. She had come wearing heels, not the extremely thin 10-centimeter kind, but because she had run so hastily earlier, she now realized her feet were sore, and her heel felt rubbed raw.
However, Chu Yang didn't have time to dwell on this as they quickly reached the top floor, with her still following close behind Chi Yan.
Once Chi Bai and Chairman Qian were seated on the office couch, and after the secretary had brought hot tea and left, only the two older men, Chi Yan, and Chu Yang remained in the office.
Chi Yan pulled Chu Yang to sit down. She hesitated for a moment, but Chi Bai said, "Little Chu, please have a seat."
"Thank you, Chairman."
Chi Bai smiled, "No need to call me Chairman. You can call me Grandfather, just like Chi Yan does."
Chu Yang glanced at Chi Yan, who encouraged her with a look. She then smiled and said, "Grandfather, if there are no outsiders present, I hope you don't mind me addressing you so familiarly."
Chairman Qian looked puzzled. "And who might this be?"
Chi Bai introduced her with a smile, "This is my grandson's girlfriend, Chu Yang. She's a lovely girl."
Chi Yan, holding Chu Yang's hand, added, "Grandpa Qian, this is my girlfriend, Chu Yang. You can call her Little Chu."
Chairman Qian looked Chu Yang over, then said with a smile, "My, my, little Yan has grown up."
Chu Yang could only smile and thank Chi Yan's grandfather.
With nothing else to discuss, Chi Yan led Chu Yang out. As soon as they were out the door, Chi Yan scooped Chu Yang up in his arms, "I'll carry you. Your foot is hurt."
Chu Yang looked at him, "You noticed?"
Chi Yan nuzzled her nose, "Of course I did."
When Chi Yan carried Chu Yang directly to the 29th floor, some people who saw them were stunned. Whoa! Was the young boss showing off his love?
Chi Yan carried Chu Yang into his office and sat her down, then called for someone to bring medicine. When someone came to knock on the door, intending to have Chi Yan sign some documents, they were surprised to see the usually serious and cold young boss crouching on the ground, carefully tending to his girlfriend's foot.
Whew!
Was this really their normally stern young boss?
"What is it?" Chi Yan asked.
"Mr. Chi, there's an urgent document that needs your signature."
Without looking up, Chi Yan replied, "Alright, leave it on the desk. I'll review it shortly and have Qi Jie distribute it."
"Yes, sir."
As the person left, they even overheard the young boss asking tenderly, "Does it hurt?"
...
Before long, many people in the building knew just how doting the young boss was towards his girlfriend.
In the afternoon, Chi Yan once again escorted Chu Yang to her office. Because of the earlier incident that made Chu Yang feel somewhat embarrassed, she didn't let Chi Yan carry her back to her office this time—it was too mortifying!
When it was time to leave work, Chi Yan promptly arrived at Chu Yang's office and helped her out, leaving together.
That evening, after returning home and showering, Chi Yan continued to apply medicine to her feet. After finishing, he gently kissed Chu Yang's toes. Her feet were soft and pink, incredibly cute. Chu Yang, startled, quickly pulled her foot away. "Chi Yan, are you some kind of pervert?" she exclaimed. This man had initially come across as a cool, dignified gentleman... how had he turned into this?
Chi Yan laughed and replied, "Yes, but only for you!"
Chu Yang protested, "You can't kiss me after that." She felt it wasn't right for him to kiss her after kissing her feet.
Chi Yan responded, "I'll go brush my teeth and rinse my mouth right away. Then you'll let me give you lots of kisses, won't you?"
Chu Yang: ...
