âI saw her crying in Master Nineâs arms, but Master Nine didnât push her away. If Master Nine didnât really care about that woman, how could he possibly allow her to cry in his arms?â
âWhat were they talking about?â
âI was too far away to hear them.â
âThat woman is from the Yin Family?â
Qiu Jian hurriedly shook her head. âNo, there was no girl among the younger generation of the Yin Family. Besides, that woman is an actor in the garden. If sheâs a member of the Yin Family or is related to the Yin Family, why would she be an actor in the garden?â
The Lingering Garden Garden was the largest Beijing opera garden in the capital.
âMoreover, as long as Master Nine returns to the capital, he will definitely go to the Lingering Garden for a while. This is something that everyone who knows Master Nine in the capital knows about.â
Min Rufeng knew about this too.
Even after he brought Little Yu back to North City some time ago and passed by the capital after leaving North City to deal with the trouble Huo Xuan created, Yin Jiujin had also gone to the Lingering Garden once.
Min Rufengâs warm smile deepened as he thought about it.
It was best that it wasnât. Otherwiseâ¦
âWhatâs that womanâs name?â
âYu Qingwan! Her name is Yu Qingwan!â
âItâs said that she was an orphan and was adopted by the owner of the Lingering Garden. She grew up in the Lingering Garden. On the surface, sheâs the star of the Lingering Garden, but in reality, her status in the Lingering Garden is equivalent to that of the eldest daughter.â
Seeing that he was interested, Qiu Jian couldnât help but say more. After all, this was her only chance!
âDo you know the consequences of lying to me?â
Looking into his smiling eyes, Qiu Jian couldnât help but shiver. She hurriedly said, âI know! I know! I swear I didnât lie to you. I really saw it with my own eyes!â
Min Rufeng glanced at her and stood up. âRest here for the night. Iâll get someone to send you overseas tomorrow morning.â
He was about to walk out of the basement after speaking.
Qiu Jian was so shocked that she didnât even have time to be happy. She hurriedly said, âSecond Young Master Min!â
âAnything else?â
Sweeping a glance at the gloomy basement, Qiu Jianâs face was filled with fear, âC-can I not live here? This place is t-too scary.â
âI can get someone to send you out and even send you back to the hospital.â
Qiu Jianâs face turned pale, ââ¦I-Iâm sorry. Iâll have to trouble Second Young Master Min to send me overseas tomorrow morning as promised.â
***
After leaving the basement, Min Rufeng didnât stay in the villa for long. He drove away and headed for his and Xi Fenglingâs apartment.
The apartment was in the city. It was neither big nor small.
It was already nine in the evening when he came out from the bathroom after taking a shower.
Min Rufeng sat on the sofa and turned the ring on his left middle finger. No one couldnât see what he was doing, but at a certain moment, a faint light suddenly flashed on the ring. Then, a female voice sounded, âSecond Young Master Min, whatâs the matter?â
Min Rufeng leaned lazily on the sofa. âCanât I look for you if thereâs nothing?â
Before the other party could speak, he said, âLittle Yu sent me a message in the evening. Did you smoke?â
The other party was silent for a long time before saying coquettishly, âAiya, Fengfeng, thereâs no such thing. Donât listen to Beauty Yuâs nonsense. I quit it long ago.â Her voice was charming and seductive.
Hearing that, Min Rufengâs Adamâs apple moved, âWhen are you coming back?â
âIn a few days.â
Min Rufeng said nothing.
She quickly corrected herself. âIâll be back the day after tomorrow!â
Min Rufeng still did not speak. She gritted her teeth and said, âIâll go back tomorrow! Iâll go back tomorrow! This smoking matter will be over from now on!â
Min Rufeng remained silent, but the other party was getting impatient. âMin Rufeng, donât push your luck. Do you believe that I wonât go back for a year and a half! Hmph, you know that as long as I want to hide, you wonât be able to find me at all!â
âCome back tomorrow and there wonât be a next time.â
âLetâs make this clear first. Youâre not allowed to bring up old scores when I go back! Itâs not like you donât know how good your stamina is. I canât withstand your torture!â
Min Rufengâs lips curled up, and his warm smile became a little dirty. âYes, I wonât torture you.â
âI donât believe your nonsense! You always say that, but when did you really do it? Every time you wonât stop till you torture me to death!â
âI promise not this time.â
Xi Fengling snorted coldly, obviously not believing him.
âLetâs get down to business.â
âWhat business? Did that female doctor in your hospital ask you out for a meal again? If you dare to eat with her while Iâm not in the capital, youâll be finished!â
Min Rufeng smiled helplessly. âHow long has it been? Why do you still remember it?â
âIt was only two weeks ago. How was it long? Did she ask you out way earlier?â
âYouâre already so old, yet youâre still jealous of something that doesnât exist.â
âMin Rufeng, donât think that I canât tell. Youâre indirectly saying that Iâm old! Iâm only 23. How am I old?â
âYes, youâre not old anywhere.â
ââ¦â Xi Fengling was silent for a few seconds.
âLetâs get down to business!â
Min Rufeng told her roughly what he learned from Qiu Jian.
After hearing that, Xi Fengling wasnât as calm as Min Rufeng. âYou said that Yin Jiujin has a woman he likes?!â
âDonât get excited yet. Iâm not sure yet.â
âHow can I not be excited! Theyâve already hugged. Even if sheâs not the woman Yin Jiujin likes, itâs still unforgivable! Our Beauty Yu is a beautiful young lady whoâs only 18 years old. She hasnât even been in a relationship before. She hasnât even held a boyâs hand. What a huge loss!â
âYou men are always like this! Youâre all unsatisfied with what you have!â
ââ¦â Min Rufeng was scolded for othersâ mistakes.
She would only throw a tantrum in front of him.
However, on second thought, outsiders would only see her charming and strong side. Only he could see her like this, so he let her be.
After patiently listening to her rant, Min Rufeng said, âDonât tell Little Yu about this first.â
âDo you think Iâm stupid? It wasnât easy for me to see Beauty Yu like this. Would I spout nonsense before Iâm 100% sure? Speaking of which, Yin Jiujin doesnât seem to be the kind of person who will change his mind easily.â
Min Rufeng said calmly, âYouâve only met him once and yet you know him quite well.â
âYo, yo, yo. Where did this strong sour smell come from? Min Rufeng, youâre even jealous of this. Youâre really good. Thatâs Beauty Yuâs man!â
âNot yet. Heâs not someone who treats Little Yu wholeheartedly. Heâs not worthy to be with Little Yu.â
âThatâs right. Heâs not Beauty Yuâs man yet. Iâll go back tomorrow morning. I want to investigate Yu Qingwan personally! I want to see who it is that actually dares to burrow into Beauty Yuâs manâs arms!â
ââ¦Yin Jiujin isnât yet.â
âI know, I know! Oh right, you were talking about Qiu Jian just now. I seem to remember that she has caused trouble for Beauty Yu. Would you be so kind as to send her safely overseas?â
âItâs an equal exchange. Iâm not someone who would take advantage of others.â
âBullsh*t! How can I not know who you, Min Rufeng, are? Tell me, what exactly are your plans?â
âSome people might not be better alive than dead. Little Yu is lazy and doesnât want to pursue someone who tried to take her life, but I canât just let it go.â
âIâll decide where to send her overseas. Iâll also decide what kind of life sheâll lead in the future.â
âHmph! Thatâs more like it!â
âRight, whatâs going on with that Bai Shuangshuang and your so-called father?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had said so much, but she only remembered what was related to him at the end. She deserved a lesson from him.
âIâm not sure yet. I still have to investigate.â
âAlright, wait for me to go back and investigate together. Min Rufeng, do you think Bai Shuangshuang is one of your fatherâs close female friends?â
âWho knows?â
âIt would be interesting if she is.â
âIf that old woman from the Min Family finds out, the capital will probably be in a tizzy. The key is that the other party is still the wife of the head of the Qin Family! I originally thought that Bai Shuangshuang didnât treat Qin Hao and his sister well, and because of Bai Shuangshuang, Qin Chongwen didnât treat the two of them well either. In the future, when Little Rain marries into the Qin Family, she might feel stifled, but I didnât expect Bai Shuangshuang to send such a huge handle over.â
âMin Rufeng, your father is such a playboy. Donât tell me you could inherit it from him?â
âIâve given you all my love life.â
ââ¦â Xi Fengling

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
On this day, Yan Jinyu woke up an hour earlier than usual. She took something out of the drawer and leaped from her balcony to the balcony of Yin Jiujinâs room.
It was dawn.
Her vision wasnât very clear.
She fumbled around and silently slipped in through the open window in Yin Jiujinâs room.
Ever since they came back from the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs, their relationship had become even better.
In Mount Jing, the two of them were almost always together. Occasionally, Yan Jinyu would go to the company with Yin Jiujin and they would kiss and hug whenever they had the chance.
Anyway, people like Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin, who often followed Yin Jiujin, had to watch them being lovey-dovey every day.
Yan Jinyu finally polished and modified the ring that she wanted to give Yin Jiujin. After thinking for a long time, she finally thought of giving it to him in such a special way.
Yes, it was even Yin Jiujinâs birthday today.
Originally, Yan Jinyu wanted to give the ring to him after midnight last night. However, Yin Jiujin was a little busy yesterday and came back from the company very late. Yan Jinyu thought that he was tired from being busy for the entire day, so she let him rest first. That was why she didnât disturb him in the middle of the night.
She waited till this morning.
After she slipped into the room, she could see Yin Jiujin sleeping soundly in the faint morning light.
She crept over.
She crouched by his bed and looked at him with her chin propped up on her hands.
She had undergone special training. After adapting to the environment in the room, she could already see clearly with the faint light from the window.
Hence, she could see Yin Jiujinâs face clearly now.
The more she looked at him, the brighter the smile on her face became.
They had known each other for so long, but why did she still feel astonished every time she saw his face?
Yes, breathtaking. She hadnât shown it in the past, but that didnât mean that she wasnât stunned by Yin Jiujinâs handsome face.
It was just that she was used to not revealing her true emotions most of the time.
She stared at him for a long time before picking up his left hand and putting the ring on his left middle finger. She then lowered her head and kissed his fingertips. âBrother Nine, Happy Birthday.â
She knew that Yin Jiujin was awake.
He was so alert. How could he not notice her after she had sneaked into his room for so long? He must have already woken up when she leaped onto the balcony of his room.
Indeed, when she kissed his fingertips, Yin Jiujinâs closed eyes slowly opened.
He stared at her quietly.
The next second, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto his bed gently.
He rolled over and trapped her under him, looking down at her. âLittle girl, youâre really bold. You actually dared to sneak into my room in the morning. Do you know what the consequences will be?â
