Chapter 117-118

Chapter 117: Silly And Ignorant ... Yan Jinyu glanced at him, then turned her gaze to the glass of water in his hand. Her eyes flickered as she took the glass of water and took a sip. She could not drink it because her stomach was not feeling well. However, she didn’t show it. Seeing that she wasn’t drinking anymore, Yin Jiujin didn’t say anything. He took the glass of water and placed it back on the desk. “Brother Nine, are you still angry with me?” Yan Jinyu looked at him and asked. 　 　 In fact, she was already certain that Yin Jiujin wasn’t angry with her. If he was angry with her, he wouldn’t have been so busy with her and even cleaned her room. At that moment, Yan Jinyu was sitting on the bed while Yin Jiujin was standing beside the desk. Yin Jiujin stared at Yan Jinyu for a moment before walking over. He bent down and hugged her. “I’m not angry with you.” Even if he was a little angry at first, it had dispersed after returning to Mount Jing. She had already seen that he wasn’t angry with her. Now that she heard it from him, Yan Jinyu still heaved a sigh of relief. She hugged him back. “Brother Nine, I… didn’t mean to.” “I know. It’s already in the past. There’s no need to mention it again in the future.” It did not matter if her reaction was intentional when he had asked Huo Siyu those two questions. If it was intentional, then it was because he hadn’t done well enough and they hadn’t spent enough time together, making her not trust him enough. There was no hurry. One day, he would make her trust him completely. It would be even better if it was unintentional. He let go of her slowly. “It’s getting late. You just… lay down and rest. We’ll talk tomorrow.” “Brother Nine, you… don’t have anything to ask me?” 　 　 “No.” He had already asked others what he needed to ask. He already had a rough idea of her situation. “Just don’t drink yogurt so carelessly in the future, even if you really like it.” Yan Jinyu smiled. She really couldn’t agree to this. She knew very well that once she felt frustrated, there were only one or two ways to ease it. Now that she had retired and no longer accepted missions, the only way to ease it was to drink yogurt. Of course, when that frustration was still within her control, simple action could ease it, just like the day Yan Jinyun schemed against her. Seeing that she was only smiling and not saying a word, Yin Jiujin sighed softly after a long while. He picked her up by the waist and went to the other side to place her on the pink bed. He pulled the blanket over her and said, “Go to sleep.” It did not matter if she did not respond. After all, with him watching in the future, he would not let today’s situation happen again. Seeing that he had covered her with the blanket and stood up straight, Yan Jinyu thought that he was about to leave. She hurriedly reached out and grabbed his hand. “Brother Nine.” Perhaps because she had drunk too much yogurt and vomited too badly, although her words were not affected, she was actually not feeling well and her face was very pale. Seeing her like this, Yin Jiujin fell silent, and the regret in his heart intensified. He held her hand in his and squeezed her fingertips. “I’m not leaving. I’ll go get your phone. Your phone kept ringing previously, so I muted it.” 　 　 When Yan Jinyu heard him say that, she couldn’t help but glance at the phone on the desk. The screen was no longer flashing. In other words, Feng didn’t call her again. He probably knew her well enough and knew that she would figure it out herself after reading those messages. Hence, he wasn’t so worried anymore. Actually, it wasn’t that. Even after sending the message, Min Rufeng… or rather, Xi Fengling, who was beside him, wasn’t completely at ease. She continued to call Yan Jinyu. Huo Siyu, who received Yin Jiujin’s call later, knew that he had discovered Yan Jinyu’s situation and definitely wouldn’t leave her alone. When she turned the car around and left Mount Jing, she gave Min Rufeng a call and told them the rough situation here. She told them to be at ease, so they stopped calling Yan Jinyu. “There’s no need for that. I’ll call you back tomorrow. On the other hand, aren’t you curious who’s been calling me, Brother Nine?” She didn’t intend to return the call, and Yin Jiujin didn’t insist. He sat down on the bed and held her hand as he looked at her. “If you want to say it, I’ll listen attentively. If you don’t want to say it, it’s fine.” He didn’t ask further nor show any curiosity. “I’ll still say the same thing. You’re still my fiancée after all. You’ll also be my wife in the future. This will never change.” “You have the right to make friends. I won’t interfere too much.” Of course, there was a premise. Not with overly intimate friends of the opposite sex. Yin Jiujin didn’t say that out loud. He would try his best to follow her lead in everything, but she had to be his. She could only be his. Yin Jiujin was Yin Jiujin after all. Even though he was extremely regretful because of his jealousy, his possessiveness towards Yan Jinyu remained unchanged. 　 　 When Yan Jinyu heard that, her heart skipped a beat. With Yin Jiujin’s temperament, he was already very indulgent towards her for being able to do this. As she thought about it, she chuckled and looked at him. “Brother Nine, you’re so smart. You actually knew that Little Rain and I knew each other long ago, right?” Anyway, she had already decided on him and knew very well that he held a lot of weight in her heart. Since he was unwilling to investigate her, it would be the same if she told him slowly. Yin Jiujin would always realize that she was different when they interacted with each other all day. Instead of making the two of them feel uncomfortable by suspecting each other, it was better to eliminate the possibility of such a situation from the beginning. Since she couldn’t let Yin Jiujin know, for the time being, she would tell him what he could know. Yin Jiujin was a little surprised. He didn’t expect her to expose this matter. He restrained his emotions and nodded. “Yes.” “I’ve known Little Rain for a long time. We grew up in the same place. Other than Little Rain, I have two other close partners. When I have the chance in the future, I’ll introduce them to you.” Yin Jiujin was very sharp. He caught the word “partners”. Not close friends, but close partners. There was a difference between friends and partners to a certain extent. “Yes.” He did not intend to probe further. “Brother Nine, there are only a few people in the world who are on good terms with me, so I inevitably have to pay more attention to them. Little Rain came to North City to see me specially. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Since she’s in North City, we have to spend more time together. Brother Nine, you… please don’t mind so much.” “…” Yin Jiujin. Even the young lady felt that he was in the wrong. She gave him some face and did not say it out loud. “Little Rain wouldn’t be in North City for long. She’ll return to the capital in a few days. When Little Rain leaves, I’ll accompany you every day. I’ll be at Mount Jing if you’re at Mount Jing. I’ll follow you to the company if you go there. Anyway, I’ll go wherever you go.” “I will be following you. But what would be my status?” Yin Jiujin, who was happy that she said she would go wherever he went, was about to speak when she interrupted him, “Fiancée?” As she spoke, Yan Jinyu shook her head. “No, no, no. Fiancées should stay at home. Who would bring their fiancées along wherever they go? That’s not appropriate. If your business partners or competitors know about this, they will also laugh at you.” “Why don’t you announce to the world that I’m your lover, Brother Nine?” “…” Yin Jiujin. After saying that, she shook her head. “No, that doesn’t seem to work either. Anyone who knows Brother Nine should know that you have a fiancée called Yan Jinyu. It’s obviously impossible to use an alias too since so many people saw me at the Yan Family’s banquet that day.” “Then, why don’t you say that I’m your secretary, Brother Nine?” “I don’t think so. Everyone knows that I only graduated from junior high school. I don’t have enough education.” Suddenly, Yan Jinyu’s eyes lit up. “Brother Nine, why don’t you hire me as your bodyguard! The kind that doesn’t need a salary. You just need to take care of my meals. I’m very formidable. I’m completely qualified to be your bodyguard!” She was the one who kept talking. Yin Jiujin couldn’t interrupt at all. When she finally finished speaking, she stared at him with her round eyes in anticipation. Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but laugh. “Silly.” At the same time, he pinched her face. So what if the young lady was really different from what she appeared to be? She was always silly and ignorant. The complicated emotions that had gathered in her heart because of what happened tonight had completely dissipated at this moment. Yan Jinyu glared at him, but she didn’t slap his hand away. Instead, she grabbed his hand. “Brother Nine, I’m serious. I’m not joking!” “Yes.” Yin Jiujin’s eyes were still smiling. She looked pale and very vulnerable. He didn’t continue to pinch her face. Instead, he opened his palm and placed his palm on her cheek. His thumb caressed her smooth skin. “So are you going to hire me or not?” “I don’t want any salary. Don’t you believe me? I’m really good. Few people are my match in fights. I can protect you.” “Yes, you’re hired,” he said, leaning over and kissing her on the lips. 　 *** Chapter 118: Sweet Medicine ... It would suit him perfectly if she was going to be always by his side. As for her identity, what did it matter? Who dared to say anything? Considering Yan Jinyu’s previous situation, Yin Jiujin’s kiss didn’t last too long. After the kiss, Yan Jinyu’s pale face flushed a little. However, she was still a little weak after all. It was just a short kiss, but her breathing was still a little unstable. After that, Yin Jiujin kissed her forehead and said softly, “Go to sleep. I’ll leave after you fall asleep.” After Yan Jinyu fell asleep, Yin Jiujin tucked her in before leaving. Yan Jinyu’s door was broken by him and couldn’t be closed anymore so Yin Jiujin simply didn’t close it. There were only the two of them in the villa anyway. The next day. Yin Jiujin thought that Yan Jinyu would sleep late after last night’s circumstances. After all, she had vomited so badly at that time. However, he didn’t expect to see Yan Jinyu, who had also changed into her workout clothes, when he woke up at six in the morning as usual and was about to go out for a run. She smiled at him. “Morning, Brother Nine!” “Morning.” Yin Jiujin walked towards her. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” He touched her forehead. “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” Yan Jinyu shook her head, “No.” She smiled. “Brother Nine, don’t worry. I’ve told you before. I’m just like the people who drink alcohol. It’s fine as long as the drunk person wakes up.” “Are you really fine?” “I’m really fine! If you don’t believe me, let’s go downstairs. I’ll exchange a few moves with Brother Nine.” “…” Yin Jiujin. He flicked his finger at her forehead. “Why should I exchange moves with you? What if I accidentally hurt you? Since you’re fine, let’s go for a run together.” It was naturally best if she was fine. Yan Jinyu blinked. Accidentally injure her? She had said so many times that she was very formidable, but why didn’t he believe her? Forget it. One day, he would witness her power with his own eyes. The two of them went downstairs for a run. Half an hour later, they returned. She met Aunt Cheng, who walked out of the kitchen. “Miss Yu, I remember that there’s still a lot of yogurt in the fridge…” However, Yin Jiujin interrupted her with a mild gaze. Aunt Cheng was stunned for a moment before she smiled as if nothing had happened, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Breakfast is ready. Miss Yu, do you want to go upstairs to change first or eat now?” Didn’t Yan Jinyu see Yin Jiujin interrupting Aunt Cheng? Of course, she did. She was just pretending not to see it. Let’s not talk about last night. She only needed to know that both she and Yin Jiujin cared more about each other after last night. She smiled faintly and said, “Let’s eat later. I’ll go upstairs to take a shower and change my clothes first. Thank you, Aunt Cheng.” After taking two steps, she stopped in her tracks and her expression froze. “Aunt Cheng, what else is cooking in the kitchen?” “Miss Yu’s nose is really sensitive. You can even smell it here. Second Young Master said that Miss Yu’s stomach is not good so he found a familiar Chinese medicine doctor and prescribed some medicine for Miss Yu. I’m brewing some medicine for Miss Yu in the kitchen. You can drink it after breakfast.” Yan Jinyu looked at Yin Jiujin with a stiff expression. “Brother Nine, is what Aunt Cheng said true?” Yin Jiujin’s expression remained unchanged. “Yes.” In the next second, Yan Jinyu rushed over and bumped her head into him. Her head was clearly very small, but she actually caused Yin Jiujin to take two steps back from the collision. His heart even ached faintly. She had an accusing look on her face, “Brother Nine, who are you lying to? Little Rain gave you this medicine, right? I knew it. Little Rain clearly said that she wanted to play in North City for a few more days. Why did she send me a message early in the morning saying that she was already at the airport and was about to board the plane back to the capital!”. Yin Jiujin rubbed his chest, which was slightly hurting from her collision, and he raised his eyebrows indifferently. Huo Siyu had returned to the capital? That was a good thing. “She cares about you too.” Yan Jinyu fell silent. “Of course I know that, but Brother Nine, you don’t know that I’ve drunk a lot of those medicines. It’s useless.” Obviously, Yan Jinyu had already guessed that Yin Jiujin had found out about her situation from Huo Siyu. She wasn’t too worried. Firstly, she knew that Huo Siyu knew her limits. She knew what to say and what not to say. Secondly, even if Huo Siyu really said something, it didn’t matter to Yan Jinyu. Anyway, she wasn’t worried that Yin Jiujin would discover her identity. “…A few more days.” “Brother Nine, that medicine is really useless. You have to trust me. Besides, Feng’s medicine tastes horrible. Can I not drink it?” Feng… The person who kept calling her last night? So, he was also an expert in medicine. He was not a careless person. Even if he knew that Huo Siyu and the young lady’s relationship was not ordinary, he would never just give the medicine that Huo Siyu sent to the young lady. The people on Mount Jing were his trusted subordinates. He had many capable people under him, so he naturally had to have many people who were skilled in Chinese medicine. Although these medicines were sent to Mount Jing at dawn, they had already been seen by everyone on Mount Jing who knew Chinese medicine. All of them were amazed by the wonders of this prescription. Since they could understand the prescription, those people could naturally derive the illness that it was treating. The situation described was similar to the young lady’s. It was a psychological trauma caused by her early years. Those people said that this was the best prescription for such illnesses. If it were them, they would not have been able to prescribe such a prescription. The people around the girl seemed to be very capable. He didn’t know about the others. For example, how could Huo Siyu, who Qin Hao had set his sights on, be simple? Yin Jiujin raised his hand and rubbed the top of Yan Jinyu’s head. “Be good. Don’t make me worry.” At this moment, Yan Jinyu really saw a hint of worry in his obscure and dark eyes. “…T-then we’ll drink for three days? If it’s still useless after three days, we won’t drink it. How about that?” “Brother Nine, you better not object. Otherwise, I won’t drink it for a day!” Looking at her angry face, Yin Jiujin smiled with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. “Alright, let’s drink for three days first.” The few of them who had read the prescription said that medicine alone might not be useful for psychological trauma. Most importantly, they had to get out of it themselves. Hence, Yin Jiujin had actually never thought of forcing Yan Jinyu to drink the medicine, especially after knowing that she had drunk it in the past and it wasn’t very effective. He would accompany her as she slowly gets out of it. Even though he still did not know what she had experienced. Poor Yan Jinyu. She was still feeling smug because Yin Jiujin had compromised and made her only drink medicine for three days. After breakfast, she pinched her nose and finished the bowl of medicine. Yan Jinyu looked at Yin Jiujin, who had been supervising her drinking the medicine the entire time, and a hint of cunningness flashed past her eyes. “Brother Nine!” The next second, she pushed him onto the sofa and the smell of Chinese medicine filled his mouth. After the surprise attack, she jumped away. Yan Jinyu chuckled, “Brother Nine, how is it? Didn’t I say that it’s very horrible?” Yin Jiujin, who was lying on the sofa, looked at her with a dark gaze. He reached out and pulled her onto him again. He pressed the back of her head down. After the kiss, Yin Jiujin looked at Yan Jinyu, who was blushing slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “No. Everyone says that Chinese medicine is very bitter, but I think the medicine you’re drinking is sweet.” Yan Jinyu stared at him blankly for a moment. Forget it, her face was bright red. Yes, she was blushing! If it wasn’t for the fact that her face was burning hot, Yan Jinyu wouldn’t have believed that she would actually blush. She got up from Yin Jiujin in a fluster and stood by the sofa. “W-What are you talking about!” 　 　 Hearing his words, she actually felt that the medicine today was not bad at all. It was obviously very bitter, but she could vaguely feel the sweetness. Most importantly, was Yin Jiujin flirting with her?! Steady, cold, unfathomable, and dignified… These were all used to describe Yin Jiujin. He actually knew how to seduce people?! Alright, he was so petty that he was even jealous of girls. In that case, it didn’t seem like there was anything wrong with him flirting with her. However, as the number one killer, she actually blushed because of him… It was too disgraceful for her as the number one killer! If word got out, how could she face anyone? After thinking about it, she smiled. “I also think that the medicine today seems to be sweet. I didn’t expect Brother Nine’s kiss to turn the bitter medicine sweet. Then, in the future, I’ll kiss Brother Nine like today after I finish drinking the medicine. In that case, the medicine might not be so bad anymore.” Yan Jinyu didn’t realize that her smile made her look a little more seductive. Yin Jiujin’s eyes darkened. He sat up on the sofa and leaned against it as he looked at her lazily. He just looked on without doing much, but Yan Jinyu’s aura almost weakened again. After a while, he said calmly, “That’s a good idea.” Yan Jinyu’s eyelids twitched. She felt that she didn’t seem to have the upper hand. Yin Jiujin’s gaze at this moment made her feel a little uncomfortable. She hurriedly changed the topic. “Brother Nine, aren’t you going to the company? Since you’ve agreed to hire me as your bodyguard, it’s my first day at work today. Shouldn’t we leave now?” Yin Jiujin looked at her and then stood up to hold her hand. “Let’s go then.” Yan Jinyu didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she kept feeling that whenever Yin Jiujin held her hand, his thumb would caress her palm. It gave her a very strange feeling, making her almost instinctively shake his hand away. However, she saw that his expression was serious and proper. Hence, Yan Jinyu didn’t shake his handoff in the end.
