Chapter 163-164

Chapter 163: Master Nine Is Lovey-Dovey 　 Before he could finish speaking, Yan Jinyu excitedly stepped forward and hugged his arm, interrupting him coquettishly, “Where is it? Where is it? At Mount Jing?” Seeing that she was hugging his arm and swaying coquettishly, a smile appeared in Yin Jiujin’s eyes. “No.” The excitement in Yan Jinyu’s eyes dimmed. She was obviously very disappointed, “Huh? Not here?” “Although the photo isn’t at Mount Jing, I can get someone to send it over if you really want to see it.” Yan Jinyu’s eyes that had just darkened lit up again, “Really?” “However, I have a condition.” “What condition? Brother Nine, tell me. I’ll agree to any condition.” “Including you continuing to go to school?” With Yin Jiujin’s brain, even if he couldn’t hear what Yin Yuhan and Qin Jianjia were saying, he could roughly guess their conversation. 　 　 He didn’t want others to bother his girl with this matter anymore. Besides, he had always had the intention of letting the young lady return to school. He just wanted her to have an ordinary life like other girls her age. Even if he wasn’t involved in her past, he could roughly guess what it was like. He didn’t want the young lady’s life to only have an unpleasant past. He thought that whatever other young ladies had, his young ladies should have too. Even if it was just to experience school life. When Yan Jinyu heard his words, her expression froze slightly. “Brother Nine, isn’t this topic already over? Why are you still mentioning it?” “You’re at the age where you should go to school.” Yin Jiujin already planned to persuade her. Yan Jinyu saw his determination and knew that it wasn’t so easy to get away with it this time. She blinked, and a hint of cunningness flashed past her eyes. “Brother Nine, do you dislike me?” Yin Jiujin was stunned. He flicked her forehead. “What are you talking about?” “How could I possibly dislike you?” He couldn’t have liked her more. Yan Jinyu wasn’t in the mood to care that he had flicked her forehead. She was scheming inwardly. 　 　 “If you don’t dislike me, why do you always want to send me to school? I already said that I want to accompany you.” “…You want to accompany me forever? Little girl, it’s enough to say such coaxing words once. If you really want to accompany me, why didn’t you follow me when I went to the company? I leave early and return late every day. I don’t get to see you much.” This… …was the truth. However, why did she find it so strange when he said that? Was the person in front of her who sounded aggrieved really the famous Master Nine that even she was afraid of? “Didn’t Grandpa Yin say that it’s not appropriate for me to follow you to the company every day?” “So what if he says it’s not appropriate? I have the final say in my company. So what if you follow me every day? Who dares to say anything?” “Of course, no one dares to say anything. It’s just that I don’t think it’s good. I’m not worried that others will gossip. I’ll affect your work if I stay in your office every day.” “But aren’t you my bodyguard?” “…” Yan Jinyu. For some reason, she felt like laughing. “Yes, I’m your bodyguard. However, Grandpa Yin said that you have many skilled people around you. You’ve also trained for a few years, so it’s obvious that I’m useless as your bodyguard. So, didn’t I put a locator on the ring I gave you? If you encounter danger, turn on the locator. I’ll save you.” 　 　 Yin Jiujin pulled her into his embrace and leaned his chin on her shoulder. He rubbed his face against hers. “In the end, you just don’t want to stay by my side.” “…When did I?” Yan Jinyu said. He felt that Yin Jiujin was especially strange today. Could it be that the two of them were closer? Or was it because his mood had been affected after seeing the Yin Family today and he had become abnormally weak? Look at what she was saying. She even had to use such an indescribable tone. He was simply like a different person from the usually calm and dignified Yin Jiujin. “Haven’t I been waiting for you to get off work? You can see me every day when you go home. If I don’t want to stay by your side, why would I wait for you at home?” At home… He liked her saying that. “Besides, I didn’t go to the company with you recently because I wanted to give you a surprise. I have to secretly prepare a ring for you while you’re not at home.” Yin Jiujin’s arms that were hugging her paused slightly before hugging her tighter. It was quite a surprise. He was so surprised that his heart was pounding like a young boy who was in a relationship for the first time. “Aunt Cheng said that you actually spend most of your time sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking yogurt and watching television when you’re home.” 　 　 “…” Yan Jinyu. Her slack life was due to the Yan Family a while ago. She would sit cross-legged on the sofa with yogurt in hand and drink as she watched television. She looked extremely carefree. There were five bottles of yogurt in the fridge every day. Although she could already control herself from drinking so much, a habit was a very scary thing. She was more used to drinking yogurt than drinking tea and plain water. She had to drink something while watching television, so… Occasionally, for a few days, she would actually finish the five bottles of yogurt in the fridge. “…That’s because the ring I wanted to give you is done. There’s nothing else to do. I’ve wandered all over Mount Jing. I can only watch television.” “If you don’t have anything to do, why don’t you accompany me to the company?” Yin Jiujin let go of her slightly and wrapped his arms around her. He lowered his head to look at her. “So, since you have nothing to do and you don’t want to accompany me to the company, why don’t you want to go to school?” “I’ll go to work while you go to school. You will return after I get off work. It’s no different from now. You can still accompany me.” He had said so much because he wanted her to go to school. Yan Jinyu sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Brother Nine, why do you insist on making me go to school? Didn’t I say that I can get whatever education qualification that I want?” Yin Jiujin held her waist with one hand and held her face with the other. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips. “It’s probably because my heart aches for you.” Yan Jinyu froze. Actually, she knew why he insisted on letting her go to school. However, her heart still trembled when she heard it from him. Hence, how could she not treat Yin Jiujin well? “Do you like yogurt a lot?” He left her lips and looked down at her. She didn’t really like it, but perhaps she was used to it. Compared to other drinks, she preferred yogurt. So she nodded. “You like to watch television? Especially cartoons.” She didn’t really like it either. She was just bored so she turned the television on to watch it. As for cartoons, because compared to other television programs, it didn’t take much brain power, so she didn’t have to think. Hence, when she turned on the television, she would usually switch to the channel that was broadcasting cartoons. Hence, she nodded again. “You should be in school at your age. Which school do you want to go to?” “…” Yan Jinyu. The topic changed a little too quickly for her to react. She didn’t answer. Uh, she simply ignored it. “If you go to school obediently, I’ll fill the top shelf of the fridge at home with yoghurt and you can watch cartoons every day.” Actually, this wasn’t very attractive to Yan Jinyu, but her eyes couldn’t help but light up. 　 　 Perhaps it was because when she was drinking yogurt without a limit in the past, the three of them always gave her a limit, making her have an inexplicable obsession with hoarding more yogurt. As for cartoons, she could still kill time when she was bored. It was the standard of her carefree life. “It’s my birthday today. Can you bear to reject me, hmm?” Yan Jinyu fell silent. She couldn’t bear to. However, she still did not want to go to school! Hence, she chose to remain silent. “If you agree to go to school, I’ll show you the photos from when I was young. How about that?” This… Yan Jinyu’s eyes were no longer just glowing. They were almost starry. “Can I see it immediately? Don’t I have to wait for the mail?” The corners of Yin Jiujin’s lips curled up into an imperceptible smile. “I might be able to find one or two in Mount Jing after searching through the villa.” “Alright, deal!” How should he describe the way she looked now? It actually made people feel like she was “bending her back for a favor”. Her black eyes were wide open and her exquisite face was tense. She looked silly and cute. With her ability, if she really wanted to see the photo, how could she not find it? It was not difficult for people like them to investigate on their own, let alone find a few photos. The young lady was really… Perhaps, the young lady was only like this in front of him. As he thought about it, Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but raise his hand and pinch her little face. He lowered his head and touched the tip of her nose intimately. “Then, it’s settled?” “Yes.” She had the final say on whether she should go to school on time every day. She would agree first as it was more important to look at the photos. “Which school do you want to go to?” “Brother Nine, you shall decide.” “Boyu High School, then? Your sister is also at that school. The school is not far from Mount Jing. You can still live at home.” The young lady had just agreed to move in with him. Of course, she had to live on Mount Jing. “Yes.” Of course, she had to stay at home. She still had to satisfy her eight-pack addiction every night. “Good girl.” “…” Yan Jinyu didn’t have the chance to refute him for using the word “good” on her which violated her dignity as the number one killer. She felt his lips land on hers. This kiss was very gentle. But it was also very long. “…” Lin Zimu, who was walking past with a pile of documents, happened to see this scene. Ever since Miss Yu moved into Mount Jing, the people around his boss were subjected to their lovey-dovey every day. They were always intimate. Was this still the boss he knew? Boss, where’s your chill and calmness? He had fallen, fallen! He retracted his gaze silently, not daring to look. Otherwise, with the boss’s sharp senses, he would throw another glare at him later. On the other side, Yin Yuhan and Qin Jianjia, who saw Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin stop, also stopped. They didn’t go forward. They didn’t turn around to leave either. Hence, they witnessed the entire process of the two of them being intimate. Although they were far away and could not hear what they were saying, they could not ignore the sweet atmosphere between the two of them. Their emotions were very complicated. However, they now had a clearer understanding of Yan Jinyu’s importance in Yin Jiujin’s heart. This was probably not as simple as “cared for” anymore. They could feel such strong emotions even from so far away. 　 Before he could finish speaking, Yan Jinyu excitedly stepped forward and hugged his arm, interrupting him coquettishly, “Where is it? Where is it? At Mount Jing?” Seeing that she was hugging his arm and swaying coquettishly, a smile appeared in Yin Jiujin’s eyes. “No.” The excitement in Yan Jinyu’s eyes dimmed.

They could feel such strong emotions even from so far away. *** Chapter 164: Scheming Jinyu Later on, Yin Yuhan and Qin Jianjia returned to the villa. Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin walked outside for more than half an hour before returning hand in hand. After stepping into the villa and seeing the Yin Family members sitting on the sofa in the living room, Yin Jiujin’s emotions were no longer affected. He was in a very, very good mood now. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were gentle. Perhaps Yin Wuzhan’s words had worked, Min Qinglan simply looked up at them. Even though her gaze would still be unhappy when it swept past Yan Jinyu, she didn’t speak again and quickly retracted her gaze. 　 　 It was as if what she didn’t see couldn’t hurt her. Min Qinglan wasn’t stupid either. Everyone was standing on her opposite side. Once she objected, she would become the public enemy. Even if she had any objections to Yan Jinyu, she wouldn’t say it out publicly. Yan Jinyu looked at them. When they looked over, especially when the three people other than Min Qinglan looked over, she nodded slightly and retracted her gaze. She looked up at Yin Jiujin. “I’ll go make you a birthday cake now. Are you going upstairs to rest?” She remembered that she went to wake him up at five. However, she forgot that they hugged and slept for a while after that. “I’ll accompany you,” Yin Jiujin said. “There’s no need to. If you accompany me when I’m baking a cake for you, won’t it be equivalent to you baking with me? This is the cake that I want to make for you. Wouldn’t the meaning be different if you interfere?” “I told you, this is my first birthday with you. I want it to be more meaningful.” Wouldn’t it be more meaningful if the two of them baked the cake together? However, Yin Jiujin didn’t say that. He only raised his eyebrows indifferently and said, “I won’t interfere. I’ll accompany you by the side.” Yan Jinyu looked at him deeply. Clingy. Since she had already decided on him, she naturally had to indulge him a little. He was so clingy, so she let him be. Anyway, she was actually quite happy to see the awe-inspiring Master Nine clinging to her in front of outsiders. “Then let’s make a deal. Don’t interfere.” “Mm-hm.” Yin Jiujin took off her jacket and hung it on the clothes hanger at the side. He led her to the kitchen and personally picked up the new apron Aunt Cheng had prepared for her to put on. Yes, a pink apron. Yan Jinyu no longer had the energy to complain about this color. She was actually slowly getting used to it. That was true. Even she was surprised. Aunt Cheng pointed the ingredients to Yan Jinyu and left the kitchen. Of course, her aunt smiled. In the kitchen, Yan Jinyu took out her phone and searched for the steps to bake a cake. She then simply swiped a video of baking a cake and handed the phone to Yin Jiujin, who was leaning lazily against the kitchen door and looking at her. “Brother Nine, I’m going to start now.” Yin Jiujin smiled and nodded. “Yes.” At first, it was fine. Yin Jiujin’s expression was gentle, and his gaze was locked on Yan Jinyu. However, the more he looked, the more Yin Jiujin’s eyelids twitched. Can you imagine the scene of a thin “golden thread” flying out from her wrist and accurately landing on the eggbeater without her even turning back to take out the eggbeater? 　 　 He wondered how long she had practiced to excel at such a precise technique. He then saw her stirring the flour and putting the mixture into the oven after she was done beating the eggs. As she cut the decorative fruits, she spun the kitchen knife skillfully on her palm. Then, just from the sound of the kitchen knife landing on the chopping board, one could tell that her knife skills were extraordinary. Yin Jiujin suddenly recalled the calluses on her hands when he first met her. Now since he had nourished her hands, the calluses had become very faint. Presumably, the weapons she needed to familiarize herself with on Ghost Slaughter Island shouldn’t be limited to the thin “golden thread” on her hand only. At the thought of this, Yin Jiujin’s heart constricted uncontrollably, and the smile in his eyes couldn’t help but disappear. If the Ghost Slaughter Island had not been destroyed, he would definitely make Ghost Slaughter Island pay the price! Yan Jinyu, who was cutting fruits, sensed the change in his mood. She turned to look at him, “Brother Nine, what’s wrong?” Yin Jiujin restrained his emotions and smiled faintly. “Nothing. I just feel that you don’t look like you’re making a cake for the first time. You seem to be very familiar with it.” “This is my first time making it. Brother Nine, didn’t you see me searching for the steps on my phone just now? Not only is this my first time making a cake, but it’s also my first time entering the kitchen to make something personally. I’ve said that I learn things very quickly, so even if it’s my first time making it, I can still do it very well.” 　 　 She raised her chin slightly and said proudly, “Brother Nine, I’ve told you many times that I’m very formidable. Do you believe me now?” She looked like she desperately wanted to be acknowledged again. She was so childish. The expression in Yin Jiujin’s eyes softened. “Yes, I believe you now.” Yan Jinyu, who had finally obtained his recognition, grinned happily. She turned around and ran towards Yin Jiujin, kissing him on the cheek. It was supposed to be a scene that was filled with “pink bubbles”, but Qin Jianjia was still shocked by it when she decided to come to the kitchen to take a look after hesitating for a while. Because Yan Jinyu was still holding a sharp kitchen knife! The way that she pounced at Yin Jiujin made Qin Jianjia think that she was going to stab Yin Jiujin with the kitchen knife. She was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweat! When she saw Yan Jinyu’s actions, her suddenly tensed-up heart finally relaxed. She sighed inwardly. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have taken the risk of being a third wheel. She was originally a little worried that Yan Jinyu didn’t know how to bake a cake, so she came over to take a look and give her pointers… Alright, this was her retribution for trying to be a third wheel. 　 　 After kissing Yin Jiujin, Yan Jinyu naturally saw Qin Jianjia, who had appeared outside the kitchen. She, who was blocked by Yin Jiujin, stuck her head out and looked at Qin Jianjia. “Sister-in-law, why are you here?” At that moment, she was still holding the kitchen knife. Qin Jianjia’s eyelids twitched. “Y-Yu’er, don’t hold the kitchen knife like that. Be careful so you don’t hurt yourself.” Yan Jinyu looked at her and then at the kitchen knife in her hand. “Oh, Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry. I’m very familiar with using the knife. I won’t hurt myself.” After saying that, she hooked her fingers on the handle of the knife and swung the knife beautifully in her hand. “…” Qin Jianjia. An expert! If this wasn’t a kitchen knife but a long sword, she would definitely look very awesome. But… this was a kitchen knife! She could even swing the kitchen knife so handsomely. H-how did she train that skill? Alright, it seemed like even a longsword wasn’t that easy to master either. “Yu’er, have you practiced before?” Yan Jinyu smiled, looking like she didn’t know what she was asking. “What?” “I say, y-you’re so good at using a kitchen knife. Have you practiced it before?” “No, who would practice a kitchen knife for no reason? It’s just that when I was in school in the past, I liked to turn the pen in class and figured out the trick.” As she spoke, Yan Jinyu glanced at Min Qinglan, who was standing behind Qin Jianjia with a smile on her face. Yes, she did it on purpose just now.
