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 didnât show it. Seeing that she wasnât drinking anymore, Yin Jiujin didnât say anything. He took the glass of water and placed it back on the desk.
âBrother Nine, are you still angry with me?â Yan Jinyu looked at him and asked.
In fact, she was already certain that Yin Jiujin wasnât angry with her. If he was angry with her, he wouldnât 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. âIâm not angry with you.â Even if he was a little angry at first, it had dispersed after returning to Mount Jing.
She had already seen that he wasnât angry with her. Now that she heard it from him, Yan Jinyu still heaved a sigh of relief.
She hugged him back. âBrother Nine, I⦠didnât mean to.â
âI know. Itâs already in the past. Thereâs no need to mention it again in the future.â 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 hadnât done well enough and they hadnât 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. âItâs getting late. You just⦠lay down and rest. Weâll talk tomorrow.â
âBrother Nine, you⦠donât have anything to ask me?â
âNo.â He had already asked others what he needed to ask. He already had a rough idea of her situation.
âJust donât drink yogurt so carelessly in the future, even if you really like it.â
Yan Jinyu smiled. She really couldnât 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, a 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, âGo to sleep.â
It did not matter if she did not respond. After all, with him watching in the future, he would not let todayâs 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. âBrother Nine.â
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. âIâm not leaving. Iâll go get your phone. Your phone kept ringing previously, so I muted it.â
When Yan Jinyu heard him say that, she couldnât help but glance at the phone on the desk. The screen was no longer flashing. In other words, Feng didnât call her again. He probably knew her well enough and knew that she would figure it out herself after reading those messages. Hence, he wasnât so worried anymore.
Actually, it wasnât that. Even after sending the message, Min Rufeng⦠or rather, Xi Fengling, who was beside him, wasnât completely at ease. She continued to call Yan Jinyu. Huo Siyu, who received Yin Jiujinâs call later, knew that he had discovered Yan Jinyuâs situation and definitely wouldnât 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.
âThereâs no need for that. Iâll call you back tomorrow. On the other hand, arenât you curious whoâs been calling me, Brother Nine?â
She didnât intend to return the call, and Yin Jiujin didnât insist.
He sat down on the bed and held her hand as he looked at her. âIf you want to say it, Iâll listen attentively. If you donât want to say it, itâs fine.â He didnât ask further nor show any curiosity.
âIâll still say the same thing. Youâre still my fiancée after all. Youâll also be my wife in the future. This will never change.â
âYou have the right to make friends. I wonât interfere too much.â Of course, there was a premise.
Not with overly intimate friends of the opposite sex.
Yin Jiujin didnât 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 Jiujinâs 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. âBrother Nine, youâre so smart. You actually knew that Little Rain and I knew each other long ago, right?â
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 couldnât let Yin Jiujin know for the time being, she would tell him what he could know.
Yin Jiujin was a little surprised. He didnât expect her to expose this matter.
He restrained his emotions and nodded. âYes.â
âIâve 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, Iâll introduce them to you.â
Yin Jiujin was very sharp. He caught the word âpartnersâ.
Not close friends, but close partners.
There was a difference between friends and partners to a certain extent.
âYes.â He did not intend to probe further.
âBrother 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 havenât seen each other for a long time. Since sheâs in North City, we have to spend more time together. Brother Nine, you⦠please donât mind so much.â
ââ¦â 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.
âLittle Rain wouldnât be in North City for long. Sheâll return to the capital in a few days. When Little Rain leaves, Iâll accompany you every day. Iâll be at Mount Jing if youâre at Mount Jing. Iâll follow you to the company if you go there. Anyway, Iâll go wherever you go.â
âI will be following you. But what would be my status?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yin Jiujin, who was happy that she said she would go wherever he went, was about to speak when she interrupted him, âFiancée?â
As she spoke, Yan Jinyu shook her head. âNo, no, no. Fiancées should stay at home. Who would bring their fiancées along wherever they go? Thatâs not appropriate. If your business partners or competitors know about this, they will also laugh at you.â
âWhy donât you announce to the world that Iâm your lover, Brother Nine?â
ââ¦â Yin Jiujin.
After saying that, she shook her head. âNo, that doesnât seem to work either. Anyone who knows Brother Nine should know that you have a fiancée called Yan Jinyu. Itâs obviously impossible to use an alias too since so many people saw me at the Yan Familyâs banquet that day.â
âThen, why donât you say that Iâm your secretary, Brother Nine?â
âI donât think so. Everyone knows that I only graduated from junior high school. I donât have enough education.â
Suddenly, Yan Jinyuâs eyes lit up. âBrother Nine, why donât you hire me as your bodyguard! The kind that doesnât need a salary. You just need to take care of my meals. Iâm very formidable. Iâm completely qualified to be your bodyguard!â
She was the one who kept talking. Yin Jiujin couldnât interrupt at all.
When she finally finished speaking, she stared at him with her round eyes in anticipation. Yin Jiujin couldnât help but laugh. âSilly.â
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 didnât slap his hand away. Instead, she grabbed his hand. âBrother Nine, Iâm serious. Iâm not joking!â
âYes.â Yin Jiujinâs eyes were still smiling.
She looked pale and very vulnerable. He didnât continue to pinch her face. Instead, he opened his palm and placed his palm on her cheek. His thumb caressed her smooth skin.
âSo are you going to hire me or not?â
âI donât want any salary. Donât you believe me? Iâm really good. Few people are my match in fights. I can protect you.â
âYes, youâre hired,â he said, leaning over and kissing her on the lips.
