Chapter 145-146

Chapter 145: Feng Yuan And Jinyun ... “Bad things? Could it be that Third Young Master Min feels that Master Nine will spread the contents of our conversation?” Min Ting’s lips twitched. “Boss Xi knows what I’m talking about.” Xi Fengling smiled charmingly. “Third Young Master Min’s worries are unnecessary. I’m a very good judge of character. I hit it off with the little beauty and already treat her as one of us.” Min Ting wanted to say something when Yin Jiujin glanced over indifferently and immediately shut up. Looking over again, they saw that Yan Jinyu, the main character of their discussion, was currently lowering her head and eating the food Yin Jiujin had placed in her bowl. It was as if she wasn’t listening to their conversation at all. 　 　 However, after he looked over, she suddenly looked up at him. After flicking a glance at him, she lowered her head and continued eating. However, it was this look that made Min Ting suddenly feel that she wasn’t their enemy. He didn’t know why he suddenly felt this way. Clearly, there was no emotion in her eyes at that moment. “Third Young Master Min, don’t worry about anything else. Just tell me what you mean.” Before Min Ting could reply, Xi Fengling smiled charmingly and said, “But it’s fine if Third Young Master Min doesn’t agree to the cooperation. Min Rufeng and I will go and talk to Second Master Min. Compared to Third Young Master Min, Second Master Min should be more capable. Second Master Min is Old Master Min’s son. If he knows that his father’s death was caused by someone, I believe he will be very willing to cooperate with us.” “…” Min Ting. What was this? If he wouldn’t cooperate with her, would she go look for his father? With his father’s character, if he found out that his grandfather’s death was caused by someone and he knew who the murderer was, wouldn’t the Min Family be turned upside down? *** In the end, the cooperation was naturally achieved. Although it was not explicit, since they were already in a cooperative relationship, Xi Fengling naturally wouldn’t do anything to Min Ting’s people, even if those hooligans had indeed caused trouble in Elegant Bamboo. However, she didn’t tell Min Ting about that. Since Min Ting didn’t mention it, she would pretend to forget to give up on the money. Money was, of course, the more the merrier. After lunch, Min Ting left alone. Even though they had reached an agreement, there were still some things that he had to investigate. 　 　 For example, Min Rufeng’s recent situation, the cause of his grandfather’s death, and Min Rufeng and Xi Fengling’s life before they returned to the capital… Anyway, he had to investigate everything properly, even if he couldn’t find anything useful in the end. However, there was one thing that Min Ting had never thought of investigating. That was whether Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling knew each other in the past. To be more precise, he wouldn’t investigate anything that was related to Yan Jinyu. Because Yan Jinyu was Yin Jiujin’s fiancée whom he was extremely protective of. After Min Ting left alone, other than Yan Jinyu, Xi Fengling was also in Yin Jiujin’s car. They didn’t return to the company or Mount Jing. Instead, they found a relatively quiet cafe to sit in. Yin Jiujin wanted to send them to the cafe before returning to the company, but Yan Jinyu stopped him. Yan Jinyu still had a smile on her face. She hooked onto his little finger and actually sounded a little coquettish. “Brother Nine, don’t be in a hurry to go back. I’ll introduce someone to you.” *** On the other side, Yan Jinyun was already waiting at the entrance when Feng Yuan arrived at the “Summer Time” cold drink shop again. Feng Yuan stopped the car and hesitated for about a minute before rolling down the window. He looked at Yan Jinyun with a complicated expression. After pondering for a long time, he said, “…I’m here.” Inexplicable cowardice. Normally, when he encountered such a situation where Yan Jinyun asked him to rush over to pick her up, the first thing he would say would definitely not be this. His tone was still so weak! He would definitely diss her in an unfriendly tone to satisfy himself before shouting fiercely, “Yan Jinyun, get in the car quickly! I came all the way here to pick you up. Do you still want me to open the door for you like you are some big shot?!” Things were different now. He admitted that he was a coward. Yan Jinyun walked over, opened the door of the front passenger seat, sat in, and buckled her seatbelt. Yan Jinyun had already returned to her usual demeanor. Other than not rebuking Feng Yuan, there was no difference. 　 　 If he didn’t know her very well, Feng Yuan would have suspected that the confession was just his imagination. After she got into the car, she remained silent. This made Feng Yuan, who was already nervous, even more nervous. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his palms were sweating. The car drove very slowly. He was afraid that he would accidentally cause an accident if he panicked, even though his driving skills had always been good. After a long while, Feng Yuan asked, “…Where are we going?” Yan Jinyun didn’t look at him. She continued to look ahead, “Let’s find a quiet place to sit for a while.” Because he could not see her expression, Feng Yuan did not know her current emotions. Clutching the steering wheel tightly, she said, “How about we go to the park outside Boyu High School? I remember that you like to sit on the bench under the tree beside the river in the park and read. Few people go there usually. It’s very quiet.” Feng Yuan didn’t notice that after hearing his words, the corners of Yan Jinyun’s lips curved slightly. Not only did very few people go to the bench under the tree by the river in the park, but very few people even went to the park. Boyu High School had a park with a better environment and was bigger than that park. Usually, the students of Boyu High School would go to that park if they wanted to go to a park or find a shade to read. Boyu High School was in the suburbs, so there were few residents around. 　 　 Unlike her preference for peace, Feng Yuan had a jumpy personality and played all day. Other than class time, Feng Yuan spent most of his time either at the basketball court or leaving school to go to the internet cafe outside to play games. Occasionally, he would go straight to play a few racing games. Otherwise, he would invite a few people to sing and drink. A Feng Yuan actually knew that she liked to go to the park outside the school and even knew where she usually liked to sit. Feng Yuan didn’t seem to find it strange, nor did he realize that his question was so natural. “Yes, let’s go there.” This place was not far from Boyu High School. After half an hour of driving, the two of them arrived. They sat in silence the rest of the way. After parking in the park, the two of them walked towards the big tree by the river. Yan Jinyun walked in front, while Feng Yuan followed a few steps behind her. Yan Jinyun was wearing a long white dress today. Her straight black hair hung down to her waist. The wind blew. Her black hair flew and her skirt ruffled. Her figure was slender and even her back view exuded a different charm. Based on looks, figure, and temperament, Feng Yuan had always known that Yan Jinyun was very outstanding. It was just that in the past, he had paid more attention to her inner self under these appearances. He only felt that Yan Jinyun was very pretentious and didn’t admire her much. Now, she looked… very beautiful. At this thought, Feng Yuan quickly shifted his gaze away nervously. At the same time, he despised himself inwardly. What was going on? Could it be that because Yan Jinyun confessed to him, he realized that Yan Jinyun wasn’t as annoying as before? Instead, even her back view was very pretty? After a while, Yan Jinyun arrived at the bench where she usually sat quietly and read. Yan Jinyun walked over and sat down, but Feng Yuan couldn’t move his feet when he was about 10 steps away from the bench. He didn’t dare to walk over. For a second, he almost ran away. He thought Yan Jinyun, who didn’t fall in love easily, would be very sad when she was rejected after confessing to someone. He couldn’t leave her here alone. Seeing that he wasn’t coming over, Yan Jinyun looked up at him, “You’re standing so far away. Am I poisonous that you can’t get close to me?” “No, no…” Feng Yuan braced himself and walked over, but he didn’t sit down on the bench. Instead, he stood beside the bench near the big tree. “You…” He wanted to speak but realized that he didn’t know what to say. Ask her if she really liked him? Not only would this make him seem narcissistic, but if she replied with a “yes”, how would he respond? He stood while she sat. Yan Jinyun looked up at him, “Do you want to ask if I really like you?” “…” Feng Yuan trembled in fear. He also felt an inexplicable strange feeling. Seeing his frightened expression, Yan Jinyun smiled and said, “I really like you.” “Feng Yuan, what’s so good about you? You don’t have any good points and you said horrible things. Your attitude towards me is also bad. What exactly do I like about you?” “What do you mean by no good points?! There are still people in school now. Go to the school and ask anyone to see if I have any good points!” “No merits? What a joke! If I don’t have any merits, why would I be one of the three schools beaus of Boyu High School? Boyu is an elite school in North City. There are many outstanding young masters from influential families. I’m still so popular in school, so how could I not have any merits?” “Also, when did I say horrible things? If you didn’t diss me every time, why would I…” At this point, he suddenly paused. He realized that he could not control his temper and retorted habitually. He carefully looked at Yan Jinyun’s expression. He was afraid that she would be hurt by his attitude and his words. *** Chapter 146: I’ll Wait For You For Two Years ... However, he saw an extremely “hypocritical” smile on Yan Jinyun’s face. Yan Jinyun said, “Feng Yuan, why are you so careful? It’s my business if I like you. If you’re willing, we can just make do with each other. If you’re not, just pretend that you don’t know about this. Is there a need to do that?” Pretend not to know about this? How could he pretend not to know? She said it so easily! “Besides, I’ve seen many girls confess to you in the past. Didn’t you respond very well? Those who should be your classmates, continue to be your classmates. Those who should be ignored were ignored. It doesn’t seem to affect you much. Why is it that it affects you so much this time? You can completely deal with me as you deal with other girls.” “You make it sound so easy! You’re not the same as those people…” 　 　 Feng Yuan then realized that Yan Jinyun was actually so special in his heart! She was different from other girls! Did he really treat Yan Jinyun… as a childhood friend? Yan Jinyun smiled at him. “Are you trying to say that I’m different from those people?” Feng Yuan’s expression stiffened slightly. He looked very unnatural and didn’t dare to meet her eyes directly. “Since I’m different from those people in your heart and we’ve known each other since we were young, we know each other’s temper very well. Why don’t we just make do with each other?” “How can we do that!” Seeing that Yan Jinyun’s smile was frozen on her face, Feng Yuan panicked, “I-I didn’t mean that. I mean, it’s that we can’t make do with relationships. No… I’m not saying that being with you is just making do. What I mean is, I can’t make do with you… No, what am I talking about!” Yan Jinyun, who was initially a little disappointed, burst out laughing when she saw this. Feng Yuan’s face turned red. However, Feng Yuan’s panic subsided slightly because of her smile. After a while, when he looked at her again, his expression became more serious. “Yan Jinyun, I hope you can think about it again. I don’t want you to be careless in matters of the heart.” 　 　 “I’m not careless,” Yan Jinyun said. “On the contrary, I’m very serious. Extremely serious.” “Feng Yuan, you don’t have to say all this nonsense. I’ve already said just now. If you’re happy, we can just make do with each other. If you’re unwilling, just pretend that you don’t know about this. I’m not someone who keeps pestering you. Do you think I’ll pester you every day like Xu Xiaoxiao?” “Tsk, you like Xu Xiaoxiao and you don’t like someone like me. I really don’t know what kind of taste you have!” “…I didn’t like her!” Feng Yuan’s face was flushed red, but this was the first thing he refuted. “If I really liked her, I wouldn’t have broken up with her so easily. I wouldn’t have stood by and watched as she was sent overseas by the Xu Family!” “That’s why I said you’re a jerk!” Feng Yuan was furious and said without thinking, “I’m a jerk and you still like me?” He only reacted after saying that, thinking that Yan Jinyun would be angry. However, he saw her staring at him and saying with a complicated expression, “Who knows why? I’m probably blind.” “…” Feng Yuan. Who exactly was the one who said horrible stuff? Yan Jinyun retracted her gaze and stopped looking at him. Instead, she looked at the clear river water in front of her and said without emotion, “Feng Yuan.” Her sudden call stunned Feng Yuan, “Huh?” Yan Jinyun looked at him and smiled lightly. “Thank you.” “Th-thank me for what?” “A lot, I guess. I can’t explain it to you within a short time. Think of it as a thank you for your recent help.” “…There’s nothing much for you to thank me for. I’m not very good to you either. In fact, I’m a little nasty. As for my recent help, I actually didn’t help much.” Yan Jinyun smiled and didn’t say anything. It was fine as long as she knew if it was good or not. How could someone who knew so much about her preferences and that she often came here to sit, treat her badly? 　 　 Even though his words were really unpleasant sometimes. “Feng Yuan, after knowing each other for so many years, we’ve never chatted so peacefully alone before, right?” “There are still times when we’re pleasant, but we’ve never had a peaceful conversation alone.” Yan Jinyun chuckled, “Is that so? Then why are you still standing? Come and sit down. Let’s not talk about anything else. It’s rare for you to have such an opportunity. Sit down and talk to me for a while.” Feng Yuan looked at her and hesitated for a moment before walking over and sitting down. However, he deliberately distanced himself from her. “You’re sitting so far away. Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?” “…No, I didn’t!” He shifted, then shifted again to sit a little closer to her. He looked so cowardly with that behavior. Actually, even Yan Jinyun, who had known him for so many years, rarely saw Feng Yuan being afraid. However, she had seen him so many times today. There was still enough room for a person between them. Yan Jinyun smiled brightly, “Sit closer.” “No, there’s no need for that. I think that’s enough.” “Sit closer!” Feng Yuan shuddered and quickly sat over, “This is not…” His voice was stuck. His neck was suddenly hugged, and then in the next second, he felt a soft sensation on his lips. A faint fragrance greeted his nose. Feng Yuan was in a daze. He even forgot to push her away! The kisses of a teenage boy and a teenage girl were usually very pure. The light kiss quickly ended. Yan Jinyun let go of him and sat back, but she didn’t look away. Instead, she stared straight at him. “I, Yan Jinyun, have never been at a disadvantage. Since you’re the first person I’ve liked in my life, even if we can’t be together, I can’t lose out either. I’ll give you my first love and you’ll give your first kiss to me. It’s very fair!” Although she sounded calm and imposing, her ears were actually red. 　 　 Feng Yuan, who finally came back to his senses, blushed, “Y-y-you…” “You’re a girl. You’re the one who’s at a disadvantage. Are you stupid?!” Yan Jinyun looked at him with a smile in her eyes, “It’s me who likes you, not you who likes me. Even if I take advantage of you, how can I be the one who loses out?” “But Feng Yuan, didn’t you date Xu Xiaoxiao for a while? Why is your first kiss still available?” He didn’t deny it just now, so she could be said to be in a very good mood now. Kissing Xu Xiaoxiao… Just thinking about it gave Feng Yuan goosebumps. It was completely unimaginable! “So, so what if it’s still available?” After saying that, he felt that he was not imposing enough and added fiercely, “You should be glad that my first kiss is still here. Otherwise, you would have lost out greatly!” Yan Jinyun narrowed her eyes and smiled. This action was very similar to Yan Jinyu’s at times. She said, “Feng Yuan, you’re the one who should be thankful. If you have given your first kiss to someone else, you’re finished.” Feng Yuan instinctively shivered, “W-what does it have to do with you whether my first kiss is here or not?” “Of course it’s my business. Didn’t I just take it?” “…” Feng Yuan. “You make it sound like I didn’t take yours!” Both of them were taken aback after he said that. Forget it. They looked away awkwardly at the river in front of them at the same time. No one said anything. They fell silent for a long time. After a long while, Feng Yuan spoke first. He looked at her, “Yan Jinyun.” Yan Jinyun looked at him. “I, Feng Yuan, am not someone who takes advantage of others. I will be responsible for you.” Yan Jinyun’s eyes darkened slightly, and she couldn’t help but clench her fists. “I’m the one who took advantage of you. You don’t have to push all the responsibility onto yourself, let alone force yourself.” “Not at all!” “North City’s top socialite. You don’t know how many people like you. Not to mention others, just that cousin of mine…” At this point, probably thinking about the unhappiness that day, Feng Yuan paused for a moment before continuing,” My cousin has the best reputation among the younger generation of the North City’s families. He’s already so infatuated about you, let alone others. ” “If I really get together with you, I wonder how many people will envy me.” “What they envy has nothing to do with me,” Yan Jinyun said. “Besides, there are also many girls who like you and you just broke up with one not long ago.” “…That’s all in the past. Why do you keep mentioning it? I’m not done talking. Don’t interrupt me!” “Alright, go on.” Feng Yuan instantly became serious, “I’ll be responsible, but not now. Can you… wait for me for two years?” There was no need to ask further. Just by looking at his expression, Yan Jinyun understood what he meant. She never expected that Feng Yuan, who had always been so ostentatious, would also show such an “unconfident” expression. It must be because he was helpless when they met Luo Yilin that day and she had already taken over the Yan Corporation now. No wonder such a playful person like him would enter the Feng Corporation now. It was just two years. She could still afford to wait. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.” Then they smiled at each other. In the quiet park, the wind blew the branches softly and made the small river ripple. An unknown bird flew past, its chirping crisp and happy.
