Jin Chengyan was truly a man of action. After signing the contract, he immediately arranged for the best doctors for Qiao Nuo's father. The nightclub where she used to work was inexplicably shut down, which meant she no longer had to worry about repaying her debts.
During this time, Qiao Nuo stayed at Jin Mansion while Qiao Chen was at school.
Two days later, Alice brought her and Jin Chengyan's marriage certificate. It was a small, bright red booklet that felt hot in her hands. The photo inside was a composite, but seeing Jin Chengyan's official photo for the first time was quite a shock—he looked handsome.
It was only when she saw the marriage certificate that Qiao Nuo truly realized she was married to Jin Chengyan.
However, this matter was not announced publicly, and Qiao Nuo had no idea what Jin Chengyan intended to do.
She also began working at what used to be Qiao's Architecture, now Jin's Architecture. From initially feeling lost and out of place, she gradually got the hang of things over the course of half a month and finally understood what sales entailed.
Just as she started to feel more confident, the Sales Director handed her a task: to increase the sales rate of a community that had been below ten percent to thirty percent within a month. She knew there were pressures coming from above.
The company staff remained the same group of people who had failed to help when her father fell seriously ill. Now they were worried that if Qiao Nuo ever rose through the ranks, she might retaliate against them. So before she could establish herself, they were determined to suppress her.
If she failed this project, she would have to leave Jin's Architecture.
After work, Qiao Nuo first went to the hospital to see her father. He had been moved to a regular ward but still showed no signs of waking up. The doctor told her they could only wait; perhaps one day he would regain consciousness.
At eight o'clock, she returned to Jin Mansion.
She entered the house after entering the code at the front door, only to find a black Bentley parked in the yard. Was that Jin Chengyan's car? He was here?
Qiao Nuo took a deep breath and walked into the mansion. She skillfully opened the wooden door; although the main entrance had a keypad lock, the inside was secured with a key lock, so there was no beeping sound.
After opening the door, she put away her keys and changed her shoes in the foyer, pondering where Jin Chengyan might be. Should she invite him to have some of the dinner she had brought back?
As she walked toward the living room, she heard some noise coming from the stairs. Standing at the foot of the staircase, she looked up and saw Jin Chengyan slowly descending.
However... he was only wrapped in a bath towel that barely covered his key areas, loosely draped around his waist. As he walked down, it seemed like the towel could fall off at any moment, and he was completely unaware of it.
Suddenly, she recalled that time in the hotel when she had taken a picture of him—he had been completely exposed then.
Thinking of this made Qiao Nuo's face flush instantly.
Now, while worrying about that towel potentially slipping away at any moment, her gaze unconsciously drifted upwards. What met her eyes were his chiseled abs, toned muscles, a sexy Adam's apple, and... his damp hair.
Qiao Nuo instinctively swallowed hard. It wasn't that she was drooling over his looks, but with such a walking embodiment of hormones standing before her, she couldn't help but admire him.
"Why are you back so late?" Jin Chengyan glanced at the clock in the hallway; it was nearly nine o'clock.
"Ah..." Qiao Nuo pointed outside. She wasn't even sure why she did that; her takeout was raised along with her hand. "I went to see my dad at the hospital, and then..."
As she spoke, her eyes darted around nervously. She still wasn't accustomed to the change in her relationship with Jin Chengyan.
Feeling increasingly embarrassed to stare at a man whose upper body was exposed and whose lower body could be revealed at any moment, her face grew hotter.
He continued to walk downstairs and stood beside Qiao Nuo. Noticing that her handbag was unzipped because it was stuffed with documents, while she held a takeout bag in her other hand, he asked, “Why is your face so red? Are you catching a cold?” Jin Chengyan raised his hand and placed his warm palm on her forehead. The touch of skin against skin made Qiao Nuo's mind go blank.
When she was with Shen Fengye, they had held hands and kissed, but the sensation of Jin Chengyan touching her forehead was entirely different; it felt like an electric current coursing through her body, sending tingles everywhere.
In an instant, her face turned even redder, and she instinctively tried to move away from him. However, as she stepped back, her handbag snagged on his precariously balanced towel...
The towel fell to the floor!
Then, Qiao Nuo felt as if the entire mansion fell silent for ten seconds. All she could hear was the ticking of the clock and the rapid beating of her heart.
