Chapter 121-122

Chapter 121: Master Nine Loses Control ... Amidst the respectful greetings from the front desk, Yin Jiujin brought Yan Jinyu to his exclusive elevator and went straight to the 55th floor of the Empire Building. In Yin Jiujin’s office. On that floor, other than Yin Jiujin’s office and hall, there was a small meeting room and a pantry, as well as the CEO’s secretarial office led by Lin Zimu. There was Lin Zimu, Yin Jiujin’s chief assistant, and two other secretaries in the secretarial department. The two secretaries were a young man and a young woman about 30 years old. The two secretaries’ desks were set in the hall. One could see them as soon as they stepped out of the elevator. Lin Zimu had an independent office. In addition, there was another office beside Lin Zimu’s office. It was for Cheng Lin, Yin Jiujin’s “exclusive driver”. As soon as Yin Jiujin, Yan Jinyu, and Cheng Lin walked out of the elevator, the two secretaries sitting in the hall hurriedly stood up. Both of them were stunned when they saw Yan Jinyu, who was beside Yin Jiujin. Their mental fortitude was not something that an ordinary person couldn’t compare to. Their expressions quickly returned to normal and they said respectfully, “Master Nine! Miss Yu!” Obviously, they all knew Yan Jinyu, even if they had never met her before. Those who could stay close to Yin Jiujin were naturally his trusted subordinates. Yin Jiujin glanced at them and the two of them hurriedly spoke. “Hello, Miss Yu. My name is Zhao Xin. I’m Master Nine’s secretary.” “Hello, Miss Yu. My name is Zhou Xiao. I’m Master Nine’s secretary like Zhao Xin. If Miss Yu has anything in the future, you can instruct me.” It was the female secretary. She was 28 years old and wore a pair of black-framed glasses. Her tone was respectful and her face was expressionless. She looked very capable. Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded. “Mm-hm.” “You don’t have to be polite. I’m Brother Nine’s bodyguard now. We’re colleagues. You don’t have to take care of me on purpose.” Hearing her words, even Lin Zimu’s lips twitched when he walked out of the office, let alone the two secretaries. 　 　 Fortunately, they had good mental fortitude and didn’t dare to be impudent in front of Yin Jiujin. Otherwise, they would have long burst out laughing. They knew very well what a bodyguard was, but to use the word “bodyguard” on Miss Yu… Miss Yu was indeed young. She was naive and loved to joke. Yin Jiujin no longer said anything about Yan Jinyu’s recognition that she was his bodyguard. It could be considered a tacit agreement. In his opinion, it did not matter what identity she used to be by his side. What was important was that she would always be by his side. Yin Jiujin looked at Zhou Xiao. “Pour me a cup of hot mil… Pour me a cup of hot water and send it to my office. Then, prepare some fruits and healthy snacks.” Yin Jiujin wanted to say that he wanted to pour a glass of warm milk, but he suddenly recalled that Yan Jinyu had only drunk so much yogurt last night and had vomited all night. Hence, he changed his mind. Although there was a big difference between milk and yogurt, there were still some ingredients that were similar or even the same. It was better not to let her drink it first. Yin Jiujin had always only drank coffee and tea. Clear water rarely appeared in his office, let alone fruits and snacks. It was obvious for whom these things were prepared for. “Alright, Master Nine,” Zhou Xiao replied. Yin Jiujin held Yan Jinyu’s hand and brought her to his office. The office was very spacious, but there were not many things in there. It was simple, grand, and clean. 　 　 Yin Jiujin held Yan Jinyu’s hand and walked to the sofa. “Sit here. I have something to do. If you’re bored, go to the bookshelf over there to take a look or use this to play games for a while.” There was a white tablet on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Yan Jinyu let go of him and sat on the sofa to pick up the tablet. She looked up and said to him, “Brother Nine, go ahead and do your work. Don’t worry about me. I’m accompanying you as your bodyguard. If my presence affects your work, I wouldn’t be able to follow you to the company with a peace of mind.” She would protect him in another way. Yin Jiujin didn’t want her to stop following him to the company. “It won’t affect me.” “I’ll get going first. Call me if you need anything. The tablet has a passcode. The passcode is…” Just as he spoke, he saw that the tablet in Yan Jinyu’s hand had already displayed the desktop interface. Yin Jiujin’s eyes suddenly darkened. The tablet was his and he had encrypted it personally. Even a top computer expert might not be able to crack the code he had encrypted. The young lady was really… She kept giving him surprises! Yan Jinyu’s fingers swiped twice on the tablet and opened a game that she had already downloaded. She looked up at him, “Brother Nine, the encryption of your tablet is a little simple. Fortunately, there are no urgent documents inside.” “Simple?” “Uh… not really. The person who encrypted the tablet is obviously an expert. Indeed, very few people can crack it, but there are too many people in this world. There are always some people who have the ability.” Yin Jiujin looked at her with an unfathomable expression. “Like you?” 　 　 Yan Jinyu didn’t avoid him and looked straight into his eyes. Then, she chuckled, “Brother Nine, I’ve told you many times that I’m very formidable. You should believe me now, right?” Yin Jiujin stared at her for two seconds before pinching her face. “So silly.” She did have the ability, but she did not have any schemes. She said whatever she had in mind. She did not know how to guard against others. She was indeed a silly child who would suffer without knowing. Yan Jinyu slapped his hand away and glared at him. “You’re the silly one! There aren’t more than 10 people in the world who can crack your tablet. I’m one of them, and you actually call me silly! Hmph! I don’t want to talk to you for the time being. I want to play games now. Don’t stand here and disturb me. Go ahead and do your thing!” Looking at her angry expression, Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat. He wanted to kiss her. Yin Jiujin had always been a man of action. He would do whatever he wanted without any hesitation. He leaned over and trapped her between him and the sofa, gradually approaching her. Yan Jinyu was about to play games when she was suddenly trapped by him. She was stunned for a moment before realizing what he wanted to do. She raised her hand to push him away. Hmph, he said that she was silly again. He even said that she was silly after seeing that she had the ability to break his tablet so easily. She was still angry with him! No way she was going to let him kiss her! His round eyes widened. Not only did they not have any deterrence in Yin Jiujin’s eyes, but they were also abnormally cute and adorable. He didn’t want to let go of her at all. He directly held her hand that was about to push him away and pinned it on the sofa. He then leaned closer to her. His lips moved closer. At that moment, someone knocked on the door. “Someone’s knocking!” Yan Jinyu glared at him and tried to struggle. Yin Jiujin paused and frowned slightly, but he had no intention of letting go of Yan Jinyu. He stared at her exquisite face for a second and kissed her decisively. Yan Jinyu was still struggling at first. It wasn’t that she hated him, but she didn’t want Yin Jiujin to succeed. She was still angry! However, slowly, she was engulfed into the emotions that Yin Jiujin stirred up. The tablet in her hand had slid to the sofa at some point. One of her hands was held by him, and the other was wrapped around his neck. Yin Jiujin was very satisfied with her response. The two of them had kissed a few times before. Yan Jinyu no longer didn’t know how to breathe like the first time they kissed. Although she was not very familiar with it, she was getting better each time. This way, their kiss lasted longer and longer. Yin Jiujin felt that the young lady looked very silly. Although she seemed to have quite the ability, it couldn’t deny the fact that she was silly and innocent. However, when the two of them were intimate, she seemed to have completely changed. He did not know if it was because he could not see her black eyes with his eyes closed that she looked exceptionally charming. Her passion was no less than his when she responded to him. It ignited his desire for her that he had hidden in the depths of his heart. He who usually had very high self-control almost lost control completely. “Bang! Bang! Bang!” The knocking on the door woke Yin Jiujin up. When he came back to his senses, his other hand had already reached her back from the corner of her shirt. No, it should be said that the two of them came back to their senses at the same time. Not only Yin Jiujin, but Yan Jinyu had also gradually lost her consciousness and was completely immersed in it. Yin Jiujin’s abstruse eyes were filled with forbearance when he left her lips. Yan Jinyu was blushing. Yan Jinyu slowly removed her hand from his body and shifted her gaze away slightly. “Someone is knocking.” Yan Jinyu admitted that she was indeed a little embarrassed now. At first, she clearly wanted to push him away and not let him succeed. Later on… Even she had almost lost control. She had never experienced this before, but she was not an ignorant and naive girl. She knew very well what would happen if the situation just now did not stop. It wasn’t that she was afraid or resistant, but she had actually forgotten that this was Yin Jiujin’s office. This made her feel rather embarrassed. She turned her face, and Yin Jiujin could clearly see her fair neck. His eyes darkened again. *** Chapter 122: Protecting Her Loved Ones ... After a long while, he sighed softly. The girl was still young. He then moved his gaze away from her neck with difficulty and stopped looking at her. At the same time, he let go of her wrist and retracted his hand that had reached into the corner of her shirt. He gently held her waist and looked at her, “I’m sorry. I couldn’t control myself just now.” Yan Jinyu was slightly stunned. She turned back to look at him and their eyes met. Yan Jinyu smiled lightly and placed her hand on his handsome face. “Brother Nine, why are you apologizing to me? I don’t hate what you like, right?” She didn’t hate what he liked either… The young lady actually knew everything. “It’s not enough that you don’t hate it. When you like it too…” “I didn’t say that I don’t like it!” If she didn’t like him and liked to be close to him, how could he have restrained her so easily? 　 　 Yin Jiujin’s body stiffened. This young lady was really… “Do you really think that I have very high self-control? How dare you say such things at a time like this?” Yan Jinyu blinked, her eyes clear. “But I’m telling the truth!” Yin Jiujin stared at her and gradually tightened his grip on her waist. He just felt that the girl knew everything, but after a while, she gave him such an innocent and ignorant look. He was a little confused as to whether she understood or not. “…You only dare to speak so fearlessly because you’re young and you know that I won’t really do anything to you.” There was no hurry. He would get back what he owed sooner or later. He got up and helped her arrange her slightly messy clothes and hair. During the entire process, Yan Jinyu was a little stunned. She did not understand why the topic suddenly turned to her speaking so fearlessly because of her young age? When did she ever speak so fearlessly because she was young? Besides, how could he tell that she was sure that he wouldn’t really do anything to her? Based on his passion earlier, she did believe that he would really do something to her. 　 　 She didn’t think he would have stopped if someone hadn’t knocked on the door. Forget it. He was someone she indulged in any way. She would believe whatever he said. After helping her tidy up, Yin Jiujin also tidied his shirt before saying, “Play your game. Call me if you need anything.” He walked to the big chair behind the desk and sat down. He was using Master Nine’s usual cold posture. “Come in.” His voice was faint and emotionless. No one would have thought that he, who was so cold and fierce, had just hugged the girl and lost himself in the kiss. “Boss.” “Master Nine.” There were two people standing outside the door. It was Lin Zimu who knocked on the door. Zhou Xiao, who was carrying a tray, was half a step behind him. The two of them walked into the office. Zhou Xiao placed the snacks, fruits, and hot water on the coffee table in front of Yin Jiujin. “Miss Yu, please enjoy.” Yan Jinyu was playing a game that had just started. When she heard this, she looked up and smiled at her, “Thank you.” “You’re welcome. If Miss Yu has any instructions, just call me. I am working in the hall outside.” “Alright, thank you.” After Zhou Xiao left, Yan Jinyu picked up a piece of fruit with one hand and placed it in her mouth before continuing to play the game. Yin Jiujin happened to see this scene from the corner of his eye, and his eyes were tainted with a faint smile. When he retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Zimu, the smile in his eyes had disappeared. It was his usual cold and indifferent expression. “What’s the matter?” 　 　 Lin Zimu retracted his gaze that was darting between Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin. He did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that the atmosphere between the boss and Miss Yu was a little strange. Of course, the atmosphere between the boss and Miss Yu always seemed to be strange. However, it seemed especially strange this time. As for what was strange, he couldn’t pinpoint it either. Forget it. Business was more important. He said seriously, “Boss, this morning… No, it should be said that in the middle of the night yesterday, a piece of news in North City spread on the Internet. It might affect the situation in North City.” Yin Jiujin’s expression didn’t change. He only gestured for him to continue. “It’s like this. The head of the Luo Family in North City, Luo Wanhong, has an ex-wife who died of illness 18 years ago. Her name is Yu Yao. Last night, there was a sudden piece of news that Yu Yao didn’t die of illness. Instead, she was deliberately killed by Luo Wanhong’s current wife, Zhang Mei, when she was giving birth. The child that Yu Yao gave birth to back then was the current eldest daughter of the Luo Family, Luo Qiu.” “Luo Qiu is 18 years old this year and is classmates with Second Miss Yan. Not only the outsiders, but even Luo Qiu herself, have always believed that Zhang Mei is her biological mother.” “Yu Yao… is also the cause of Luo Qiu’s mother’s death. The news online is reasonably believable and should be true. “Zhang Mei is suspected of murder and has been taken away. At the same time, the eldest son of the Luo Family, Luo Yilin, was found lying in front of the Luo Family’s gate this morning. He’s covered in injuries and on the verge of death. He’s still unconscious. I wonder who injured him.” 　 　 When Yan Jinyu, who was playing games, heard this, other than raising her eyebrows slightly, she didn’t have much emotion or reaction. She continued to play games. However, when Lin Zimu said this, he glanced in Yan Jinyu’s direction and said, “According to the results of the Luo Family’s investigation, Luo Yilin appeared at the Yan Corporation’s main building around six o’clock last night. Later on, he left with Second Miss Yan and the Feng Family’s Eldest Young Master.” “The Luo Family said that they want Second Miss Yan and the Feng Family to give them an explanation.” Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything, but her eyes darkened slightly. The Luo Family had no evidence, yet they still dared to demand for an explanation? “Anyway, both the Luo Family and North City are in a mess now.” “The Huo Family still has the energy to interfere in this matter?” He wasn’t asking if this matter had anything to do with the Huo Family, nor was he asking if the Huo Family would interfere. Instead, he was asking if the Huo Family still had the energy to interfere in this matter. This was because Yin Jiujin knew that if it was only what had happened to the Luo Family, even if it would affect the situation in North City, it wouldn’t be enough to make Lin Zimu panic. Even when his panic wasn’t really obvious. In the business world, only Huo Xuan could slightly affect Yin Jiujin. Hence, after seeing that Lin Zimu looked a little panicked, it wasn’t difficult for Yin Jiujin to guess that it was the Huo Family or rather, Huo Xuan. “According to our people, Young Master Huo has already arranged for someone to contact the eldest daughter of the Luo Family.” Yin Jiujin didn’t react, but Yan Jinyu’s hand that was playing games paused. The Huo Family was going to interfere? This was something she had not expected. If the Huo Family really interfered, it would be troublesome. She had investigated Huo Xuan seriously when Little Rain returned to the Huo Family. That wasn’t someone Yan Jinyun could deal with. If the Huo Family really entered North City and cooperated with the Luo Family to gain a place in North City, not only the Yan Family, but even Brother Nine would be in trouble. “Get in touch with Luo Qiu before Huo Xuan’s people did. Tell her that the Empire Group is willing to cooperate with the Luo Family as long as the Luo Family doesn’t get involved with the Huo Family.” He wasn’t afraid of the Huo Family or Huo Xuan. Whether the Huo Family entered North City wouldn’t affect him much, but it was different for the Yan Family. After cooperating with the Huo Family, the Luo Family would have the qualifications and ability to compete with the Yan Family for the title of the number one family in North City. Yan Jinyun was the head of the Yan Family now, and Yan Jinyun was someone his young lady protected. Of course, he couldn’t ignore that. “Yes.” Lin Zimu hesitated for a moment before saying, “There’s one more thing.” “Third Young Master Min called and said that the Qiu Family will bring Eldest Miss Qiu to North City to apologize to Miss Yu today. They’re already on the plane from the capital to North City.” “Apologize? Who allowed them to apologize? They even want to visit us! I’m asking the Qiu Family to give me an explanation, not for them to bring people to make their presence known in front of Little Yu!” Lin Zimu did not dare to reply. Yan Jinyu, who was playing games, looked up at Yin Jiujin. Indeed, she didn’t want the people whom she had taught a lesson to make their presence known to her again. “I don’t want to see them.” Yan Jinyu said. “I like to teach someone a lesson on the spot when they’re looking for trouble with me. I’ve already taught Qiu Jian a lesson, so whatever happens next has nothing to do with me anymore.” The meaning behind her words was that Yin Jiujin wanted an explanation from the Qiu Family on her behalf. The Qiu Family only needed to give Yin Jiujin an explanation. It had nothing to do with her. She couldn’t be bothered. As for those people from the Qiu Family, she couldn’t be bothered to meet them either. Yin Jiujin looked at her and said in a doting tone, “Alright, if you don’t want to see her, then don’t.” She said to Lin Zimu, “If they’re here, just block them. Tell the Qiu Family that since they’re not sincere enough, there’s no need to give them the explanation I want. Wait for the Qiu Family to be removed from the capital.” Lin Zimu was about to answer “yes” when he suddenly thought of something and said, “But Boss, Third Young Master Min also said that the Second Missy of the Qin Family will also come with the Qiu Family.” “So what?”
