Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu only came back after eating outside. They didnât go downstairs to eat dinner.
After coming out of Huo Siyuâs room, Yan Jinyu met Huo Xuan standing in front of the door again.
This time, Huo Xuan didnât change into his sleeping robe. He was still wearing the same clothes as when he came home.
It seemed like he had been waiting here for a while.
âYoung Master Huo, are you looking for me for something?â
Huo Xuan, who was standing in front of the door, watched as she walked over. There was a complicated look in his eyes that Yan Jinyu couldnât understand.
Huo Xuan turned his head and covered his lips as he coughed softly. He only looked at her after he calmed down, âI have something to ask Miss Yan.â
Yan Jinyu stopped and gestured for him to speak.
âEldest Miss Yan is familiar with Rainy. Did Rainy⦠learn martial arts in her early years?â
Yan Jinyu smiled. âYes, Iâve learned it for a few years.â
According to Chen Ye, Rainyâs skills couldnât be simply learned after âlearning for a few yearsâ.
âRainy used to⦠Forget it. Eldest Miss Yan, rest early.â After saying that, he turned around and returned to his room. He even quickly closed the door.
Yan Jinyu couldnât help but laugh.
He was a good brother who cared about Little Rain.
She also opened the door and entered the room that the Huo Family had prepared for her.
After entering the room, Yan Jinyu went straight to the bathroom to wash up. She changed into her pajamas and lay on the bed.
She switched off the lights in the room, leaving only the bedside lamp.
She lay there without feeling sleepy. She casually placed her phone beside the pillow.
She turned around and looked out at the dark night through the half-opened curtains. Her thoughts suddenly drifted away.
Hearing Chen Xiaotianâs words, she actually did not appear to be so nonchalant in front of Huo Siyu. She was just trying to ease Huo Siyuâs heart and pretend to be calm.
She cherished her life, but she was not afraid of death either.
However, just because she was not afraid of death didnât mean that she wasnât afraid of the people around her.
They had thought that once Ghost Slaughter Island was destroyed, everything would be over and they could live a peaceful life.
They were naturally not referring to her alone.
If Ghost Slaughter really had someone who was lucky enough to survive, she was not afraid that the other party would come to find her directly. She was worried that the other party would attack Little Rain, Feng Meimei.
Furthermore, she still had Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyun.
Putting Yin Jiujin aside, with his ability, no one dared to touch him easily. But what about Yan Jinyun?
She was confident that she could protect Yan Jinyun because no one at the Ghost Slaughterhouse was lucky enough to escape from the explosion.
Her past enemies werenât able to hurt the people she wanted to protect.
But Ghost Slaughterâ¦
She knew better than anyone else how capable the people in the Ghost Slaughter were, especially since the other party had the ability to sneak into the Smith Family and kill the person in charge. His skills were probably not much different from hers.
The key was that the enemy was in the dark while she was in the open.
Perhaps, she shouldnât have gotten too close to Yan Jinyun from the beginning.
Indeed, there was a price to pay for being attached to something that was originally not there.
Was it that difficult for her to just live a carefree life?
Unfortunately, Yin Jiujin still wanted her to experience school life like an ordinary girl and make friends of her age.
Not to mention that she did not like to be controlled and did not want to go to school, she did not seem to have the good life to enjoy the school life of an ordinary girl.
Frustration.
She turned over and took her phone before dialing.
The call was quickly connected.
âBrother Nine.â
Yin Jiujin, who had just washed up and walked out of the bathroom, paused when he heard that.
The young ladyâs soft and pitiful toneâ¦
What happened?
âWhatâs wrong?â He walked towards the black-and-white bed.
He lay down on the bed and leaned against the headboard.
âNothing. I just missed you a little.â
Now, perhaps only Yin Jiujin could make her yearn for him without any worries.
Yin Jiujin was very capable, so she didnât have to worry about him being implicated by her at all times. Furthermore, she usually stayed by his side. She could protect him immediately if anything happened.
Upon hearing her words, Yin Jiujinâs thoughts stirred. He was a little happy, but at the same time, he was even more certain that something had happened to her.
The young lady usually wouldnât use such a soft tone to say that she missed him.
However, he did not expose her.
The young lady did not say anything because she did not want him to find out.
Then, he would pretend not to sense anything and go along with her words.
âYou do miss me so you still have some conscience.â
âDid you have fun today?â
Yin Jiujinâs tone was very gentle, so gentle that Yan Jinyuâs heart softened when she heard it. Her attention was also mostly diverted. âIâm happy. I went to ski and even tortured two people.â
âTell me about it.â
âThatâs Little Rainâs adopted sister. Needless to say, sheâs indeed a smart and scheming person. Fortunately, Little Rain isnât an ordinary young mistress from a wealthy family who was found outside. Otherwise, Iâm afraid she wouldnât be her match at all.â
âShe actually made three preparations for a scheme. Iâm a little impressed. However, no matter how much she schemed, itâs not enough in front of absolute power.â
âItâs only been a day and sheâd already been forced to the point of not being able to fight back by Little Rain and me. Thereâs still a good show to watch.â
âLetâs not talk about the details. Youâre probably not interested in such a small scheme, Brother Nine. Anyway, weâve decided to give her a taste of her own medicine. Since she had the intention of destroying Little Rain from the beginning, weâll use her method to deal with her.â
Yin Jiujin felt a little helpless.
She was clearly a small fry who could be easily dealt with, but she had to make it so complicated.
However, the young lady had probably been bored for too long and wanted to find something to do.
Forget it, as long as she was happy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If there was really a situation where it couldnât end nicely, he would just step in.
âWhen are you coming back?â
Yin Jiujin asked almost every time she called.
Yan Jinyu was also very helpless about this.
âIâll be back in a few days.â
âBrother Nine, Iâve only been away for a day. Didnât you live very well without me in the past?â
How could that be the same?
Yin Jiujin thought.
However, he did not say that.
âIâm almost done with my work. Shall I pick you up in South City tomorrow?â
Yan Jinyu fell silent for a moment, âBrother Nine, donât think that I donât interact with the business world that I know nothing about it. You only have endless tasks on your hands. Thereâs definitely no time to settle them all.â
âI didnât spend money to hire so many people so that they would only take the money and not do anything. If I had to do everything myself, why would I spend money to hire them?â
That made sense.
Howeverâ¦â Brother Nine, Iâll stay in South City for a few days. Thereâs no need for you to specially come here to pick me up. If you have the time, stay in Mount Jing and rest well. â
However, Yin Jiujin didnât follow her words. Instead, he asked, âHave you seen Huo Xuan?â
Only then did Yan Jinyu remember what he said earlier about wanting her to stay away from Huo Xuan. She thought that he was probably afraid that Huo Xuan, who was always going against him, would attack her.
âI saw him. Heâs at the Huo Familyâs residence. Huo Xuan has been returning to the Huo Family after work for the past two days. However, Brother Nine, donât worry. I didnât interact much with him. I only treated him as Little Rainâs brother and would simply greet him when we met occasionally. Other than that, thereâs nothing else.â
She said that entirely to reassure Yin Jiujin that she really wasnât too close to Huo Xuan and didnât have to worry unnecessarily.
However, just as she finished speaking, Yin Jiujin said, âHe still has time to go home?â
âOh, I heard from Little Rain that Huo Xuan has indeed been a little busy recently. However, no matter how busy he is, he will still have time to go home. Thereâs nothing strange about that.â
There was nothing strange about that?
He had instructed someone to create Huo Xuanâs trouble. He knew best whether Huo Xuan was busy or not.
From what he knew, Huo Xuan had been living in the company for a long time.
He had lived in the company for so long. He did not return to the Huo Family before or after, but two days after his little girl visited the Huo Family.
Huo Xuan must have ulterior motives for taking the time to go back when the young lady was at the Huo Family!
He had only said that he wanted to go to South City casually. Now, he felt that he needed to go to South City.
âIâm flying to South City tomorrow morning.â
Yan Jinyu was stunned. Why didnât she persuade him? Instead, the more she persuaded Yin Jiujin not to come to South City, the more determined he became?
âBrother Nineâ¦â
âGirl, I miss you too.â
Yan Jinyuâs words were stuck in her throat.
Mainly, Yin Jiujinâs tone made it impossible for her to reject him.
âAlright then, but letâs make things clear beforehand. Youâre here for your own personal matter, so donât cause too much trouble with Huo Xuan for the time being. There will be a good show in the Huo Family soon. Huo Xuan is extremely important, so we canât let him be trapped by anything else. Iâll only be at ease if we get rid of Huo Sisi at once and Little Rain stays in the Huo Family.â
Little ghosts were hard to deal with.
Although Huo Sisiâs schemes were all unpresentable, keeping her around was still a threat.
âIâll do whatever you say.â
Hearing his words, Yan Jinyuâs heart skipped a beat.
What sweet words.
Who would have thought that the famous Master Nine was actually like this? He sounded like a playboy who had mixed around with ladies all year round.
ââ¦Iâm hanging up. Goodnight, Brother Nine.â
Yin Jiujin chuckled softly, probably realizing that she was feeling uncomfortable. âGoodnight, baby.â
ââ¦â Yan Jinyu.
Yin Jiujinâs hearty laughter came from the other end of the line.
Mocking! He must be mocking her!
Not only was he teasing her, he was also mocking her!
Babyâ¦
Yan Jinyu trembled violently and felt goosebumps all over her body.
Using such a form of address on her was extremely disrespectful to her, the number one killer!
However, after putting down the phone, Yan Jinyu thought about Yin Jiujin calling her âbabyâ and couldnât help but smile.
Yes, she was the only one in the business world who could get Master Nine to call her âbabyâ.
The frustration from earlier had disappeared without her knowing.
She switched off the lights and went to sleep.
It was a dreamless night.

The next day, Yin Jiujin arrived at the North City airport and was about to board the plane to South City when he suddenly received a call.
He had no choice but to change the ticket at the last minute and head to the capital.
Because it was a private trip, Yin Jiujin didnât bring his assistant along. Therefore, Lin Zimu, who had been called over at the last minute, didnât dare to get too close when he saw Yin Jiujinâs gloomy expression. He didnât dare to say anything and tried his best to reduce his presence.
He did not know which âheroâ had the ability to make the bossâs face darkened and his body exuded a frightening aura not long after he went out happily.
