Chapter 157-158

Chapter 157: Moving In Together 　 “You’re mine. The person lying beside you can only be me!” “Yes, yes, yes. It can only be you.” Yan Jinyu’s tone sounded a little helpless. “However, Brother Nine, there were so many people on Ghost Slaughter Island in the early years. The place where everyone slept was narrow and simple. It’s really impossible not to have someone beside you.” Before Yin Jiujin could say anything, Yan Jinyu smiled faintly and said, “However, after I was about six years old, there weren’t many people left from my batch. The venue became more spacious, so no one dared to lie beside me anymore. Not only that, but those people all looked like they wanted to stay as far away from me as possible.” 　 　 “There was a time when I suspected if I looked very scary. Later on, I specially went to ask Meimei about it. Meimei looked at me strangely and didn’t say anything.” “I was just asking casually. I didn’t get any results after asking, so I never asked again. However, when I didn’t do anything, everyone seemed to think that I was easy to bully so I don’t think I look scary.” Upon hearing her words, Yin Jiujin had no mood to be jealous. He only felt sorry for her. “You don’t look scary,” he said. Not only did she not look scary, most of the time, she looked silly. Yes, she was still a little cute sometimes. “However, you do look easy to bully.” Looking at Yan Jinyu’s slightly stunned expression, Yin Jiujin said, “It should be said that you don’t look like you’re easy to bully. You’re really easy to bully. With your experience, how can you be so careless toward a man? Not only did you sneak into someone else’s room, but you even allowed others to bully you. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll really be taken advantage of and the other party won’t take responsibility?” “Also, aren’t you worried that I will harm you if you just lie beside me and sleep soundly?” Yan Jinyu blinked and smiled at him. “But Brother Nine, will you?” 　 　 “Will you harm me? Will you not be responsible for me?” “No,” Yin Jiujin said without hesitation. “But even if I won’t, you’re a girl. You’re only 18 years old. You can’t trust others so easily…” “So, Brother Nine, do you mean that you want me to not believe you and be wary of you?” “…” Yin Jiujin. “I’m talking about someone else!” “But Brother Nine, you’re not anyone else. Besides, I’m only treating you like this. Who asked you to be my fiancé?” Suddenly, the smile on her face deepened. “Besides, Brother Nine, you won’t be stupid enough to be irresponsible to me or even attack me. That won’t do you any good. Because even if that person is you, it won’t be easy to kill me. And if you’re not responsible or even disadvantageous to me even when I trust you so much. What do you think I’ll do?” “Brother Nine, you’re my man. You’re still mine even when you’re dead.” “So, Brother Nine, don’t give me a chance to attack you.” “…” Yin Jiujin felt extremely complicated. There was joy and shock. But in short, he was still overjoyed. She was so determined to make him her man and even said that he would be hers even if he died. It was good that she had this awareness. Although she was silly, she still had the number one killer’s aura when she was imposing. She was the only one who dared to threaten him like this. However, he enjoyed it. He lowered his head and kissed the tip of her nose. “Yes, I’m yours.” “I won’t give you a chance to attack me either.” Yan Jinyu hugged his neck in satisfaction and kissed his chin. “Brother Nine, you can lie beside me in peace in the future. I won’t hurt you. I’ll protect you.” Yin Jiujin’s heart suddenly felt warm. “Mm-hm.” “Are you moving over?” “Move to your room?” Yan Jinyu’s eyes lit up. Without thinking, she said, “Sure!” Afraid that he would not be able to control himself and do something to her? That didn’t exist at all. She had wanted to give herself to him from the beginning, but he forced himself not to. Since she was not even worried about that, what was wrong with living with him? She could even rub his abs every day. “You… agreed just like that?” Yin Jiujin didn’t expect her to agree so quickly. His feelings became complicated again. He was happy and yet at the same time, felt that she was silly. Yan Jinyu smiled. “Yes, I agreed.” “Brother Nine, aren’t you going to look at the ring I gave you?” Upon hearing that, Yin Jiujin took his left hand out from under her head and looked at the ring on his middle finger. 　 　 Actually, he had already taken a good look at this ring after she fell asleep from exhaustion. There was a faint golden color in the silver, and the style was a little different from the one he had given her. His ring looked more simple and elegant than hers, but one could still tell at a glance that the two rings were a pair. The inside of the ring he gave her was engraved with the letters “J & Y”, and the one she gave him had the letters “Y & J”. She had put in a lot of effort, be it in terms of material or design. The ring that she had personally made had been modified according to what she had said. Although he had figured out what modifications she had made in a short while, it was actually very difficult to modify them on a tiny ring. Yan Jinyu held his hand in hers. She explained as she demonstrated, “I put three things on the ring.” “Firstly, it’s a locator. I don’t have to keep an eye on you all the time. You have to move the patterns on the ring so that I can locate you. If you’re in danger and it’s inconvenient for you to communicate, you can tell me your location through this.” “The second is the communication device. You move the ring like this.” Then, Yan Jinyu’s left wristwatch flashed with an inconspicuous light. She raised her hand to show it to him. “Look, I can receive your message over here. We can talk now.” She held the ring around her neck with her other hand. “I wanted to put my communication device on the ring you gave me, but I remembered that you made the ring yourself. I wanted to maintain the original appearance of the ring, so I modified my wristwatch slightly.” 　 　 “However, we can’t use this kind of communication often. It’s easy to be exposed. We shall use our phones to contact each other under normal circumstances. This will only be used when there are special circumstances.” “The third is this.” Yan Jinyu changed the pattern on the ring again. Suddenly, something as sharp as a blade popped out from the ring. “This material is special. It’s sharp and will not be stained with blood. When necessary, it can be used as a weapon for self-defense. This way, if you encounter danger and don’t have a weapon at hand, you won’t be at a disadvantage bare-handed.” “Yes, I remembered them.” She looked up and met his deep eyes. There was a meaningful look in his eyes. Yan Jinyu’s heart couldn’t help but tremble. “D-do you remember everything?” “Yes.” Yin Jiujin’s thumb swiped across the ring on his middle finger. The blade-like item was retracted and returned to the original slightly beautiful and slightly simple ordinary ring. In the next second, Yin Jiujin rolled over and kissed her lips again. He had actually figured out the mystery of this ring when the girl was asleep. At that time, he was not calm. Every assembly on this ring was the girl’s effort for him. At that time, he couldn’t hold it in anymore. He ignored the fact that the girl was asleep and his lips landed on hers. Now that he heard it from the young lady again, he was still excited. Or rather, he was even more excited than when he figured out the mystery on the ring himself. He just wanted to kiss her. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get enough of it. How could there be such a likable girl? *** It was already two hours later when Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin showered, changed, and went downstairs. Four people from the Yin Family came. The four of them sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for two hours. They knew that Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin were upstairs, but who dared to call for them? The four of them had different emotions. However, three of them were rather calm. They were either drinking the tea Aunt Cheng made or eating the fruits Aunt Cheng cut. Only one of them had an increasingly ugly expression. 　 　 However, for some reason, she suppressed her anger and did not let Aunt Cheng go upstairs to call her. This person was none other than Yin Jiujin’s mother, Min Qinglan. A 52-year-old elegant wealthy lady. Other than Min Qinglan, Yin Jiujin’s father, Yin Wuzhan, Yin Jiujin’s elder brother, Yin Yuhan, and his sister-in-law, Qin Jianjia, were sitting in the living room. Yin Wuzhan had been in a high position for a long time. He looked gentle, but he actually carried a fierce aura. Compared to Yin Jiujin, Yin Yuhan looked more similar to Yin Wuzhan. They were both gentle people, but there was a sharp aura in their bones. Yin Jiujin joined the army when he was young. He joined the business world after he was 16 years old. Yin Yuhan walked the path of Yin Shuguo and Yin Wuzhan. He was only 28 years old now and was already considered outstanding in his field. He didn’t disgrace his status as the eldest son of the Yin Family. As for Qin Jianjia, she was the typical daughter of a wealthy family. There was always a standard smile on her face. She looked very easy to get along with, but when they interacted, she would give people a difficult feeling to get close to. This kind of difficult feeling was not because she was putting on airs and was difficult to get close to, but after interacting with her, one would automatically feel that they were not on the same level as her. She was indeed the eldest daughter of the Qin Family. She was full of natural elegance. She could hold her status as the granddaughter-in-law of the Yin Family. When Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin came down from upstairs, they saw the four of them sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room. The television was on but the volume was soft. Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan were watching the news channel. Qin Jianjia was elegantly eating fruits while Min Qinglan sat on the sofa with a sullen expression. Just as she was about to lose her cool, she picked up the teacup on the coffee table in front of her and took two sips. The atmosphere was rather harmonious. As the two of them came down the stairs, the four people on the sofa looked up at them. They saw the two of them walking down the stairs side by side. Yin Jiujin had one hand around Yan Jinyu’s waist and his posture was very intimate. The four of them were stunned. Holding back the surprise in her eyes, Min Qinglan put on the posture of a strict mother. “An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. You’re alone in North City with no family to guard you. Jin’er, are you leading a life that you sleep until late in the morning?” Yin Jiujin looked up calmly. Although the emotions in his eyes didn’t change, for some reason, Min Qinglan couldn’t maintain the sternness on her face anymore. Her expression fell a little, and there was even a hint of fear growing in her heart. She moved her gaze away and didn’t dare to look at Yin Jiujin again. *** Chapter 158: The People From The Yin Family 　 Therefore, she didn’t see a hint of sadness flash past Yin Jiujin’s eyes the moment she looked away. Of course, this emotion quickly flashed past Yin Jiujin’s eyes. Even if Min Qinglan stared at him, she might not notice it because the other three people in the living room didn’t notice it either. However, Yan Jinyu did. She had sensed the change in his mood from the change in Yin Jiujin’s grip on her waist. When she looked at Min Qinglan with smiling eyes, her gaze was a little cold. She had always only acknowledged the person she wanted to protect. She wouldn’t care about the other party’s identity. 　 　 Not to mention others, she even looked at Old Master Yin with a dimmed gaze when she found out that he had a conflict with Yin Jiujin. If it wasn’t for the fact that she later saw Old Master Yin and Yin Jiujin’s way of interacting, as well as the fact that Old Master Yin treated her completely like a grandfather treating a granddaughter, her attitude towards Old Master Yin wouldn’t have changed. Min Qinglan didn’t dare to meet Yin Jiujin’s gaze, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t dare to look at Yan Jinyu. After looking away from Yin Jiujin, her gaze landed on Yan Jinyu. The weather was turning cold, but there was an air conditioner in the room, so the girl was wearing a pink long dress. Her long hair reached her waist, and she looked pretty good. She had a very clean smile on her face, and at first glance, she gave people a good impression. She was not as unpresentable as she thought. However, this was not enough. A marriage without a compatible family background, how many of them could last? Besides, apart from her family background, this girl was also not worthy of the Yin Family. A girl who had led a wandering life for many years and grew up in the countryside without her parents’ love and only had a junior high education. No matter how good her appearance was, she wasn’t compatible with her son. Jin’er was born in the Yin Family. His brother had shouldered the family’s mission. What he needed to do was grow up under the endless love of his family. However, Jin’er was an accomplished person. He insisted on joining the army at the age of eight and even became famous in the army. 　 　 Although Jin’er insisted on retiring later on, he had also made a name for himself after transferring to the business world. Up until now, others respected Jin’er even more than his father and brother. The word “outstanding” was not even enough to describe such a Jin’er. Only a girl with a good family background was worthy of him. As she thought about it, Min Qinglan already didn’t think highly of Yan Jinyu. Her gaze then landed on the bruise on her neck. She frowned deeply. The daughter of a good family wouldn’t be so loose! When she saw that there were also marks on Yin Jiujin’s neck and collarbones, Min Qinglan’s “still okay” attitude towards Yan Jinyu went to “dislike” and then finally to “disgust”. Her son was very disciplined. He had never played outside for so many years. How long had it been since the eldest daughter of the Yan Family returned to North City? Not only did they start to cohabit, but she even made her son become like this! When had Jin’er ever slept until noon? They had rushed over from the early morning flight in the capital, but he was still not up! She was only 18 years old. What would happen if she really married into the Yin Family in the future? 　 　 She looked pure, but she did not expect her to be so seductive. It seemed like her inner self wasn’t as simple as she looked. She had seen many pretentious girls in this circle. They could only cheat the men. They could not cheat her! “Are you the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, Yan Jinyu?” With Old Master Yin passing on Yin Jiujin’s words previously, no matter how much Min Qinglan disliked Yan Jinyu, she didn’t dare to show it on her face. Yan Jinyu looked at her and was about to speak when someone beat her to it. Qin Jianjia stood up and smiled kindly and elegantly at Yan Jinyu, “You’re Yu’er? You’re indeed as Grandfather said. You’re very beautiful and likable.” Min Qinglan glanced at Qin Jianjia, but she didn’t say anything in the end. She knew that Qin Jianjia was reminding her of the words Old Master had told her before they set off for North City. He said that if anyone provoked Yan Jinyu in North City and angered Jin’er, they would get lost from the Yin Family. She didn’t know what Old Master liked about Yan Jinyu. She was clearly just a daughter from a small family who wasn’t even favored! It was all the old lady’s fault. Why did she have to arrange a betrothal for no reason! Fine, it was settled. Why did she go for such an unpresentable small family? 　 　 There were many families in the capital that were more suitable for marriage than the Yan Family! Of course, she wasn’t going to force Jin’er to accept the girl that she preferred. After all, Jin’er was her son. She could still tell who was more important to her. She just wanted Jin’er to choose a girl with a good family background. She might not have to be what she liked, but she had to be what she felt was worthy of Jin’er. “I’m Qin Jianjia, Jin’er’s sister-in-law. You can call me sister-in-law like Jin’er.” Min Qinglan was about to voice her disapproval after Qin Jianjia finished speaking. Qin Jianjia hurriedly shook her head at her before she reluctantly retracted the words that she was about to say. Of course, Yan Jinyu saw their interaction, but she wasn’t concerned. She glanced at Yin Jiujin and saw that he wasn’t unhappy after hearing Qin Jianjia’s words. In other words, he actually had a good relationship with his sister-in-law Qin Jianjia, or even more precisely, with his brother Yin Yuhan. She then smiled at Qin Jianjia, “Hello, Sister-in-law. I’m Yan Jinyu.” Her confident attitude stunned Qin Jianjia, and the kind and dignified smile on her face became more sincere. “You and Jin’er should be hungry, right? I think Aunt Cheng has already cooked. We shall talk after you and Jin’er have eaten.” “Yes, Sister-in-law, you guys haven’t had lunch either, right? If you don’t mind, we can all eat together.” If someone was kind to her, she would repay with kindness. However, when she said this, not only was Qin Jianjia stunned, but everyone present, including Yin Jiujin, stared at her. She spoke casually, and it was just because of her using such a casual tone to say these words, she brought out the air of the mistress of the house. As for Qin Jianjia and the others, they seemed to be just guests of Mount Jing. Qin Jianjia didn’t say anything, but she had a better impression of Yan Jinyu. It was precisely because she had the airs of a mistress and did not give in that she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage when she married into the Yin Family in the future, regardless of whether she faced the Yin Family or outsiders. Indeed, Qin Jianjia was an understanding person. Or rather, she knew Yin Jiujin well enough to know that since Yan Jinyu was someone he had decided on, no one could influence his decision. Rather than making a scene like eight years ago, it was better to follow Jin’er’s wishes. Speaking of eight years ago, she had yet to marry into the Yin Family. To her, Jin’er was one of her own, while the other members of the Yin Family were outsiders. Because Jin’er was her younger brother’s best friend, and she wasn’t with Yin Yuhan at that time. Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan only glanced at Yan Jinyu. They didn’t say anything and their emotions didn’t change much. Only Min Qinglan disliked Yan Jinyu even more. She felt that Yan Jinyu couldn’t recognize her identity. She had yet to marry into the Yin Family, but she was already putting on airs. The people whom she was treating as an outsider were still Jin’er’s family! 　 　 As for Yin Jiujin, as he looked at Yan Jinyu’s exquisite side profile, the bad feeling that he had suppressed in his heart earlier dissipated just like that. There was a faint smile in his eyes. Clearly, he was very satisfied with Yan Jinyu, who had unintentionally put on airs of the mistress. “Of course not. It’s been a long time since I ate Aunt Cheng’s food. I’m craving it.” “Jin’er,” Yin Wuzhan said indifferently to Yin Jiujin. Yin Jiujin didn’t respond. He only slowly looked up. His expression was calm. “Are you planning to celebrate your birthday alone if we don’t come to North City? It’s already been so many years, but you still remember what happened back then? You haven’t returned to the Yin Family for your birthday in eight years.” “I’m not alone,” Yin Jiujin said. He pulled Yan Jinyu to his side. “I have my fiancée accompanying me.” While Yin Wuzhan was stunned, Yin Jiujin spoke again with a serious tone, “Let me formally introduce you. My fiancée, Yan Jinyu. She is also the wife I will spend the rest of my life with in the future.” It was an introduction, but also a disguised reminder and warning. Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan finally began to seriously size Yan Jinyu up. Old Master Yin went back and told them that Yan Jinyu was Yin Jiujin’s acknowledged fiancée. The impact on them wasn’t as big as when Yin Jiujin personally said that. Furthermore, Yin Jiujin had said it in such a serious tone. The two of them understood Yin Jiujin and knew that since he had taken a fancy to her, she definitely wasn’t too bad. Indeed, Yan Jinyu’s expression didn’t change at all when she saw the sharp gazes of the father and son. She still had a smile on her face. A sincere and clean smile. Such a person was either very innocent or very unfathomable and kept her thoughts to herself. Either way, it was very satisfying. An innocent person had her advantages while a shrewd person had her advantage too. Both were better than being a schemer without brains. After all, she would not cause trouble if she wasn’t shrewd. She would have the ability to protect herself if she was. She wasn’t like someone who was scheming and yet had no brains. She would only cause trouble but had no ability to resolve it. The two of them were satisfied, but Min Qinglan was not. She felt that Yin Jiujin had been bewitched by Yan Jinyu. However, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she didn’t dare refute Yin Jiujin at this moment. “She’s a good girl,” Yin Wuzhan said. Then, he looked at Yin Jiujin and continued, “Dad trusts your judgment. Since you’ve decided, find a time to bring her back to the Yin Family for a visit.” Without waiting for Yin Jiujin to reply, he smiled and asked Yan Jinyu, “Little girl, do you want to go to the Yin Family to take a look?” After Yin Wuzhan asked that, the three of them, including Min Qinglan, all looked at Yan Jinyu. Min Qinglan couldn’t care less about her dislike for Yan Jinyu. Her eyes were filled with anticipation when she looked at her. They all knew that if Yan Jinyu said that she wanted to go, she definitely wouldn’t be going alone. At that time, Yin Jiujin would return to the Yin Family. Qin Jianjia exchanged a look with Yin Yuhan and quickly struck while the iron was hot. “That’s right. Does Yu’er want to go to the Yin Family to play for a few days? I was just worried that I wouldn’t have anyone to talk to at home every day. I grew up in the capital and am familiar with the capital. I can even bring you to some fun places.” She had her own job. She was actually making it up by saying that no one would talk to her at home. “Jin’er lived at home until he was eight years old. There are many photos of him when he was young at home,” Yin Yuhan answered. At first, Yan Jinyu didn’t have any reaction after hearing what the others said. However, after hearing Yin Yuhan’s words, her eyes suddenly lit up. Photos of Yin Jiujin when he was young? She really wanted to see them!
