Chapter 99-100

Chapter 99: Clear Intentions ... The next day, Yan Jinyu woke up at six as usual. When she opened her eyes and saw the decorations in the room, Yan Jinyu was slightly stunned. It took her a moment to realize that this was Mount Jing, Yin Jiujin’s residence. Last night, after Yin Jiujin carried her downstairs, she quickly returned to her room after dinner and didn’t stay in the living room for long. She slept for more than half an hour and didn’t feel sleepy after that. It was just that… she suddenly felt that after the intimacy she had with Yin Jiujin in the room, she didn’t dare to face him. He was clearly fine when he carried her downstairs, but for some reason, after the meal, she felt very strange again. Especially when she looked up at Yin Jiujin at the dining table, the strange feeling in her heart was the most obvious. She was always worried that Yin Jiujin would suddenly look up and realize that she was looking at him. Therefore, every time she looked at him, she would feel a little secretive. Of course, Yan Jinyu, as the number one killer in the world of killers, wouldn’t admit to this. He didn’t know why Yin Jiujin, who was vigilant, didn’t notice her sizing him up. Other than putting food in her bowl, he ate very calmly throughout the meal. He didn’t even look at her. Whether Yin Jiujin really didn’t notice her sizing him up or not, Yan Jinyu didn’t have the mood to think too much. She only felt increasingly strange because she was alone with Yin Jiujin. Hence, after dinner, she hurriedly informed Yin Jiujin before going upstairs to her room. It was rare that she could not sleep. She did not fall asleep until around three in the morning. All these years, she had been very vigilant. She would wake up at the slightest movement. However, whether it was later on when no one dared to hurt her or when she was just an ordinary child who could die at any moment, she had never lost sleep. That was because she needed to have more energy than her competitors in order to win. Hence, no matter where and when she would maintain her vigilance and sleep well. This habit had never changed from when she was young and unskillful to the time when she was young but more skillful than many people. The habit remained till now. She actually had insomnia last night! Yan Jinyu was someone who would definitely not use her brain if she could not use it. However, once she used her brain, her brain was so flexible that ordinary people couldn’t compare to her. It was around seven in the evening after dinner and she went upstairs and lay in bed until three in the morning. During this time, her mind was spinning. 　 　 After such a long time, how could she not understand the strange feeling that she had in front of Yin Jiujin? In her heart, Yin Jiujin seemed to be different from others. As for what was different… If it were another man kissing her, she would have hated him and not also indulged him repeatedly. She would also not feel that the sensation was not bad and try it with him again. As a killer and the number one killer in the world, she knew a lot of things. Especially since she had Feng and Meimei, two sticky examples. She must have fallen for Yin Jiujin. Yan Jinyu gradually returned to her senses. She raised her hand and touched her lips, smiling slightly. Since she wanted to treat Yin Jiujin well, there was nothing wrong with him being more important to her. She also hoped that there was someone in this world whom she could treat without reservation. This way, she would no longer be like before, someone who cherished her life but could not find a reason to continue living and wandered aimlessly around the world. She got out of bed and opened the window. The morning glow filled the sky. Another beautiful day. She turned around and walked into the bathroom to wash up. About half an hour later, Yan Jinyu washed up and took out a set of workup clothes from the closet to change into. She prepared to exercise as usual. 　 　 Just as she opened the door and walked out of the room, she saw Yin Jiujin walking out from the room beside her. Yin Jiujin was no longer wearing his standard shirt, trousers, and leather shoes. He was also dressed in sportswear like her and had a pair of white sneakers on his feet. This attire made him look more youthful. Perhaps it was because he was surprised to see Yan Jinyu, but his expression wasn’t as cold as usual. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he didn’t look as sinister as usual. His face was handsome and clean. Yan Jinyu, who was a little surprised to meet him, felt her eyes light up. Yin Jiujin felt different like this. Yan Jinyu wasn’t someone who was shy. Since she understood her feelings for Yin Jiujin, she naturally wouldn’t hesitate to admit it. She liked him like this. She was very happy to have met him the moment she stepped out of the room, so she did not hesitate to express her love and happiness in her own way. She ran towards Yin Jiujin, jumped up lightly, and hung onto him. She moved very quickly. Less than 10 seconds had passed since their gazes met. Yin Jiujin didn’t even have time to retract the surprise in his eyes before she jumped up and hugged him. Yin Jiujin hurriedly raised his hands to support her and stop her from falling off. 　 　 He was naturally happy that the girl was so clingy to him. It seemed like he was right to let her think for a night. That’s right. After carrying her downstairs last night, he had actually sensed her actions. Although he did not show it on his face, he was very happy inside. He had thought that the young lady did not know anything because she was young. However, if she really did not know anything, she wouldn’t sit at the dining table without saying a word. She would even look up at him from time to time as if she was afraid of being discovered by him. She would look at him for a while and then quickly retract her gaze. She looked at him again and again. Since the girl was about to be enlightened, he would give her time. The girl might look silly, but she was actually not rigid. Her mind was still very bright. If she was given time, she would always be able to understand something. It was rather unexpected that she would figure it out so quickly. He thought that it would take some time for her to completely understand. Just as Yin Jiujin was feeling happy, he felt a wetness on his lips. One-touch and she was gone. Yan Jinyu wrapped her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. Her eyes curved into crescents. “Brother Nine, good morning.” Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat, and his hand that was hugging her stiffened slightly. His eyes darkened slightly. Forget it, he smiled. “Good morning, silly girl.” Then, he kissed her lips. “Why are you up so early? Can’t sleep in your new bed?” Yan Jinyu’s skin was fair, and the faint green shadow in her eyes was a little obvious. It was obvious that she hadn’t slept well. Yin Jiujin actually knew how the shadows under her eyes were caused. However, she clearly couldn’t sleep, yet she still woke up so early. The only reason he could think of was that she couldn’t fall asleep on a new bed. “No, it’s a habit.” She hugged him tightly and praised him without any modesty, “Brother Nine, you look very good in this outfit.” Yin Jiujin asked, “…I don’t look good in other clothes?” Yan Jinyu hurriedly let go of him a little. She looked at him and shook her head. “Of course not!” “Brother Nine, with that face of yours, you look good no matter what. It’s just that you’re different from the past you.” Her words clearly suited Yin Jiujin very well. His mood got even better. But the habit that she mentioned… Yin Jiujin subconsciously frowned. Ordinary 18-year-old girls would not have the habit of waking up around six. She… He suddenly recalled the calluses on her hands when he first met her. Since her experiences over the years could be fake, it meant that the calluses that she had developed after dropping out of school and working for three years after graduating from junior high were most likely fake too. Then how did she get her hands full of calluses? Also, she had nothing to do but she still woke up early. It seemed like she needed to train. How did she develop this habit? Her driving skills were so good. Just this skill alone was enough to stop her from worrying about her life. Then, the calluses on her hands and the early morning habits she had developed were definitely not for working for survival. Then why? Humans were not born with outstanding abilities. Without a certain degree of learning and hard work, it was very difficult to truly grasp a skill. Her superb driving skills would not appear out of nowhere, and the calluses on her hands could not possibly grow out of nothing. He suddenly wanted to know what the little girl had been through all these years, but he didn’t want to investigate her, nor did he want to ask her that. Regardless of whether he asked or investigated, he was afraid that she would think too much about it if she found out. Forget it. When it was time to know, he would naturally know. No matter how the young lady had lived in the past and how much she had suffered, she would stay by his side in the future. With him around, he would definitely protect her and not let her suffer anymore. He put her down gently. “Are you going for a run?” Yan Jinyu nodded. “Yes, is Brother Nine going for one too?” “Yes. Together?” “Sure!” She had that in mind. The two of them ran along the asphalt road in the Manor for half an hour. *** Chapter 100: She Only Trusts Him ... Hence, this morning, everyone in the manor, including Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng, saw that the lone figure running on the asphalt road had become two figures. They jogged side by side. Everyone was surprised and delighted. Surprisingly, it was very rare that Miss Yu had insisted on waking up early to exercise at such a young age. Fortunately, Master Nine was finally not alone. After running, Yan Jinyu didn’t punch as usual. On Mount Jing, other than Yin Jiujin, there were many other martial arts practitioners. If she practiced a few sets of punches every morning, it was hard to guarantee that no one would notice anything. To the martial arts practitioners, it would be obvious at a glance if she had any real skills. 　 　 She wasn’t worried that Yin Jiujin would discover her identity, but not the others. At least not now, even if they listened to Yin Jiujin. She trusted Yin Jiujin but not others. Once they knew her identity, they could easily trace it to Feng and the rest. Before she found out if Min Ting was Feng’s enemy and before she had personally seen Little Rain’s fiancé, who was also the Young Master of the Qin Family, she did not want to expose her identity to others. As for Yin Jiujin, she dared to let him know because he wouldn’t hurt her even if he knew. It was simply intuition without reason. Since he would not hurt her, he would naturally not do anything to harm the people she cared about. Otherwise, if something happened to the people she cared about, she, too, would be sad. It was a form of hurt to her too. She believed that Yin Jiujin wouldn’t do that. After running, they returned to their rooms to take a shower and have breakfast. Yin Jiujin wanted to go to the office. Huo Siyu was in North City, so Yan Jinyu naturally wouldn’t lie on the sofa and watch television leisurely like she did at the Yan Family. Besides, she had other things to do. After breakfast, Yin Jiujin asked, “I’m going to the company. Do you want to stay in Mount Jing or go with me?” After that, he seemed to have thought of something and continued, “The Empire Group is mine. You will be safe in my territory.” 　 　 Yan Jinyu smiled when she heard that. “Of course I know. Brother Nine will protect me. However, I won’t accompany Brother Nine to the company today. Of course, I won’t stay in Mount Jing either. Little Rain specially applied for leave to come to North City to play. I promised her yesterday that I would accompany her during this period of time when she’s in North City. I’ve already been in North City for some time, and I’ve almost figured out North City. I know which places are more fun and can be a guide for Little Rain.” It was good to know Little Rain openly and it was only normal for them to go out together. Of course, being a guide was just an excuse. She wanted to do something. Little Rain had been obediently acting as the daughter of the Huo Family for the past year, so she must have not exercised for a long time. Since Little Rain was still in North City, she could invite her along. Accompany Huo Siyu? Yin Jiujin frowned imperceptibly. It was Huo Siyu again. Not only would she accompany Huo Siyu, but she would also accompany her for a few days! He still wanted to bring the young lady to the office and let her play in his office. He could see her anytime… He suddenly regretted introducing them. She had only known Huo Siyu for two days, and yet she was acting so familiar with her. Why would the daughter of the Huo Family lack someone to guide her? However, seeing how excited the girl was as if she was looking forward to going out with Huo Siyu, he kept his disapproval to himself. Forget it. It would only be a few days. Young ladies should also befriend more people of the same age. “Okay, let’s go out together. I’ll send you there first.” Yan Jinyu didn’t reject. “Sure.” The two of them stood up and prepared to leave. Aunt Cheng took out a bottle of yogurt. “Miss Yu, this is the yogurt you wanted.” Aunt Cheng was very efficient. She got someone to prepare it on the same day when Yan Jinyu first came to Mount Jing and asked if there was any yogurt. 　 　 Although they were both yogurts, the yogurt that Aunt Cheng sent over was obviously not on the same level as the yogurt that the Yan Family servants bought for Yan Jinyu. Regardless of the packaging of the yogurt or the quality of the yogurt itself. Yan Jinyu took it and smiled as she thanked her, “Thank you, Aunt Cheng.” “Do you like to drink this a lot?” Yin Jiujin asked with a frown as he looked at the yogurt in her hand. He clearly recalled the first day he saw her. He had seen her drink several packets of yogurt on the plane with his own eyes, as well as the fact that he had gotten someone to send two boxes of yogurt to the Yan Family. No matter how delicious a beverage was, drinking too much of it would be bad for the body. Furthermore, yogurt was not beneficial to a child’s body in Yin Jiujin’s eyes. At least, it was far inferior to milk. Furthermore, he had seen Yan Jinyu drink a few packets of it in one go. When Yan Jinyu heard that, she chuckled. “Yes, I like it very much.” Like? Not really, she was just used to it. “I only mentioned it once previously and Aunt Cheng remembered it. Thank you, Aunt Cheng.” Aunt Cheng smiled kindly. “There’s no need to thank me. It’s just a matter of instructions. As long as Miss Yu likes it.” Yan Jinyu smiled at Aunt Cheng, then said to Yin Jiujin, “Take whatever you want. Drink it if you’re thirsty on the way.” Forget it. She only took one bottle and would not drink too much. This was it for now. He would keep an eye on her more in the future and not let her drink it so carelessly. “Just buy it when you’re thirsty. You don’t have to bring it from home. It’s tiring to carry it.” 　 　 Yan Jinyu’s eyes twitched. How heavy could a bottle of yogurt be? It was tiring to hold it. In his eyes, how weak was she? “I just want to take it from home. When I see the yogurt, I’ll think that it was bought with Brother Nine’s money. My mood will also improve as I drink it.” “…” Yin Jiujin. His emotions were complicated. From home… This term felt completely different when she said it. She also treated this place as her home. He was pleased. She even said that she would feel better after drinking it since they were bought with his money… She had a sweet mouth and was a smooth talker. Reaching out, he pulled her over and pecked her on the forehead before holding her hand. “Let’s go.” Aunt Cheng’s smile grew wider as she watched the two of them leave together. Second Young Master and Miss Yu seemed to have an even better relationship now. Look, Second Young Master had such an obvious smile on his face. She had not seen Second Young Master smile like this for many years. Cheng Lin drove while Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu sat in the back seat. The car left Mount Jing. After sending Yan Jinyu to her destination, Yin Jiujin turned and headed to the Empire Group. Not long after he left, Yan Jinyu’s phone rang. It was a message for funds transfer and a message from Yin Jiujin. “You can spend my money too even if you buy it outside.” He was referring to the yogurt that she had taken from home before she left. It was something that would make her mood better when she drank it. Yin Jiujin was really… It was just a bottle of yogurt. Why did he have to put in so much effort? She smiled and walked into the cafe behind her. Huo Siyu was waiting for her in the cafe, and opposite the cafe was the Yan Corporation building. *** On this day, something major happened in North City. The Yan Corporation, which was controlled by the Yan Family, the number one family in North City, had changed hands! Yan Qingyu, the former head of the Yan Corporation, had been taken over by his biological daughter, Yan Jinyun, who was personally raised by him! The financial news took turns to broadcast on the television, the newspapers, the Internet, and so on. However, from the beginning to the end, there was no news that criticized Yan Jinyun’s actions. On the contrary, there were many praises for her. They all said that since the Yan Corporation was handed to her, it should restore the corporation to the glorious time when Old Master Yan Qi was still alive. It might even bring them to a higher level. Regardless of whether someone had secretly tampered with the news, it was enough to prove that Yan Jinyun was more favored by others than Yan Qingyu. Moreover, almost all the influential people in North City had gone to the Yan Family’s banquet yesterday and witnessed Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya’s actions. They were very clear about what had happened to the Yan Family and why the Yan Family had changed hands. Although this matter wasn’t reported openly, Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya were destined to lose all their face. It would be very difficult for them to raise their heads up high in North City in the future. People like Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya who cared about their reputation the most would probably hide at home and not dare to show their faces in public for a long time. Around 5 pm. In the Yan Family’s main building. The servants of the Yan Family, including the butler, did not dare to stay in the living room. Those who had something to do, went to get themselves busy, and those who had nothing to do found an excuse to leave. The television in the Yan Family’s living room was playing the news about the Yan Corporation changing hands. Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya were sitting there watching. Both of their expressions were very sullen but other than smashing the remote control and scolding, they could do nothing. Yan Qingyu didn’t have the face to smash the remote control and scold because he had been thinking about what Yan Jinyun had said the entire night and had figured out the pros and cons. He was definitely indignant, but he didn’t want the Yan Corporation to be destroyed. Then, he wouldn’t be able to get anything. Besides, if the Yan Corporation went bankrupt in his hands, he might even have to bear a huge debt and be chased around the world by his creditors. Therefore, regardless of whether he was willing or not, at least for now, he had to accept reality.
