Beside the Mercedes-Benz car late at night, Ye Meiyun clutched her knee, her face contorted in pain.
It was obvious that the sudden fall after getting out of the car had injured her knee.
"Yun family, where did you fall?"
Qin Chuan anxiously rushed to help Ye Meiyun, who was sitting on the ground.
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts... Don't move me yet, let me catch my breath!"
Ye Meiyun felt a sharp pain in her knee with the slightest exertion and quickly cried out.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan felt Ye Meiyun had fallen badly and immediately pulled out his phone, saying, "I'll call 120 and get an ambulance!"
"Xiao Chuan, no need to call!"
Ye Meiyun stopped him, "It's just that my knee took a hit, let me recover first, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Sister Yun, it's better to go to the hospital, it's safer this way,"
Qin Chuan said worriedly.
"Really, no need. Look, I can still move this leg, it's clear the bone isn't broken."
To reassure Qin Chuan, Ye Meiyun endured the pain and moved her injured leg.
In the dim moonlight, Qin Chuan saw a wet spot on Ye Meiyun's knee and immediately exclaimed anxiously, "Sister Yun, your knee seems to be bleeding!"
"Ah?"
Ye Meiyun was also startled and quickly looked at her knee. It was too dark to see clearly, but she could already feel it.
"Qin Chuan, help me upstairs, I have a first-aid kit at home."
"Sister Yun, why don't we go to the hospital!"
Qin Chuan said again.
"No need, it's just a minor injury, why bother!"
Ye Meiyun was resolute, "Your sister isn't one of those delicate women, this little injury is nothing!"
Qin Chuan thought it made sense. Ye Meiyun was a strong woman who took over and managed such a large electronics factory after her husband's death, and had weathered so many storms. This little injury was indeed nothing.
He wasted no more time, parked the Mercedes properly, asked Ye Meiyun where she lived, and helped her limp into the residential compound.
Ye Meiyun's walk, though short, was agonizing, as she couldn't put any weight on her injured leg.
"Sister, let me carry you!"
Qin Chuan stopped abruptly and said.
"Xiao Chuan, no need, I can walk."
Ye Meiyun waved her hand.
"Your leg is injured, and you're wearing high heels, be careful not to injure the other leg too!"
Qin Chuan said, and before Ye Meiyun could react, he had already half-knelt in front of her, urging, "Get on!"
Looking at the broad, strong back, Ye Meiyun hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and leaned forward, settling onto his back.
Qin Chuan's hands reached behind him, supporting Ye Meiyun's thighs to prevent her from falling. At that instant, Ye Meiyun felt a jolt like an electric shock, her body trembling slightly.
Through the thin fabric of her pants, she could feel the intense heat radiating from his hands.
Especially now, with Ye Meiyun lying on Qin Chuan's back, her breath was filled with his scent—not cologne, but a subtle, captivating, and pleasant aroma of a man.
Since her husband's death, Ye Meiyun hadn't been in such close physical contact with a man for over six months. Her heart was in a turmoil.
Moreover, Qin Chuan was the savior of her and her daughter, and he was tall and handsome.
In the short span of three months, his aura had transformed, becoming more mature and reserved. His jet-black eyes were as deep as the sea...
As Ye Meiyun lost herself in thought, she suddenly tightened her legs, her face flushing crimson.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and no one was in the residential compound; everyone was asleep. No one saw the embarrassing predicament of the beautiful boss of Ziguang Electronics Factory.
However, she knew her own body, and as the mistress of her own thoughts, she was even more aware of the jumbled emotions swirling in her mind.
"Xia... Xiao Chuan, am I very heavy?"
Along the way, Ye Meiyun, trying to ease her embarrassment, initiated a conversation.
"How could that be? Sister Yun, with your figure, you're probably not even a hundred jin! You've maintained yourself so well!"
Qin Chuan replied with a smile.
"Hehe, you have such a way with words."
Ye Meiyun knew her weight perfectly well.
At one meter sixty-eight, she was of above-average height for a woman. Coupled with her excellent figure and regular exercise, she certainly weighed over one hundred and ten jin.
Yet, in Qin Chuan's words, she weighed less than a hundred jin. It made her incredibly happy.
Following Ye Meiyun's directions, Qin Chuan entered an apartment building and pressed the button for the twelfth floor.
"Xiao Chuan, put me down now!"
After the elevator started moving, Ye Meiyun couldn't help but say again.
"No need, Sister, you're not heavy, and you're wearing high heels. I'll just carry you like this,"
Qin Chuan said casually.
Ye Meiyun, still on his back, didn't speak further. She kept her head hidden behind Qin Chuan, not wanting to be seen in the elevator's reflective surfaces.
When the elevator reached their floor, Ye Meiyun pointed to the left, and Qin Chuan followed.
This apartment building had three units per floor, so besides Ye Meiyun, other people lived there.
Upon opening the door and turning on the lights, the apartment's actual decoration was revealed.
It was a three-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen layout, with a total area of about one hundred and ten square meters. The decoration was not extravagant but was simple and spacious.
"Sister Yun, I thought someone of your status would live in a villa, but I didn't expect it to be an apartment like this."
After putting Ye Meiyun down, Qin Chuan surveyed the apartment's decor.
"I bought this place a few months ago. Living here is not only close to the company but also very convenient for shopping and other things."
Ye Meiyun replied, for some reason instinctively avoiding the question about villas.
"Ever since Niuniu's father passed away, I didn't want to go back to our old place, so I moved here."
After speaking, Ye Meiyun limped towards the bedroom.
"Sister Yun, let me help you!"
Qin Chuan quickly stepped forward to assist.
Ye Meiyun waved her hand, "No need, I need to go to the bedroom to change my clothes first."
"Xiao Chuan, make yourself at home. There are drinks in the refrigerator, help yourself, please don't be polite!"
"Alright, Sister Yun, just call me if you need anything."
Hearing that Ye Meiyun was going to change in the bedroom, Qin Chuan let go and walked towards the living room.
Meanwhile, after entering the bedroom, Ye Meiyun quickly opened the wardrobe and found a set of plain pajamas she usually wore. Just as she was about to toss them onto the bed, her movements paused. Her gaze fell upon another set of pajamas in the wardrobe.
It was a silk nightgown, noticeably shorter than the previous one and adorned with lace. It was a deep red, exuding a seductive glow under the light.
Ye Meiyun bit her red lips, her beautiful eyes showing indecision, and finally, she gritted her teeth...
