Chapter 322: Chapter 322 - They Look alike

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Two hours later.

In the hot spring, Yin Jiujin cuddled Yan Jinyu and let her lean in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips. Then, he leaned his chin on the top of her head. “What’s wrong with Feng Qin?”

Yan Jinyu was still a little tired. Although it was only two hours, she had been “tortured” badly.

Jealous men were indeed not to be trifled with.

She leaned weakly in his arms and didn’t even bother to open her eyes. “Her eyes look like someone’s.” This was something she had discovered when she accidentally caught a glimpse of the drama the girl in class was watching.

Her vision was very good. She even saw the name of that television drama and specially searched for it.

The more she looked at Feng Qin, the more she felt that she looked like her. Hence, she casually investigated.

She didn’t expect to find out that Feng Qin was from the Feng Family and used to live in Water City. Her father was from Water City.

As for what her father’s surname was, she did not find out.

Perhaps, they could only have some clues if they went to Water City or sent someone to investigate.

However, this information was enough.

It proved that her guess had a new basis.

“Who does she look like? Feng Yun?”

“They do look a little like Cousin. That’s not surprising. After all, they’re all from the Feng Family.” They all had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, but Feng Yun’s almond-shaped eyes were elegant while Feng Qin’s were charming.

“The person I’m talking about isn’t Cousin.”

Yin Jiujin couldn’t think of anyone else.

He rarely paid attention to others’ looks. In fact, there were not many people who were worthy enough for him to take a second look.

“Meimei.”

Yin Jiujin was a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, he recalled Xi Fengling’s looks.

They did look a little alike.

“Are you suspecting that… Xi Fengling is related to the Feng Family?”

“I was only suspicious previously, but now I’m 50% confident.”

“Meimei was an orphan before she entered Ghost Slaughter Island. She lived in an orphanage in Water City.” Yan Jinyu opened her eyes and looked up. “How could it be such a coincidence?”

“She doesn’t have any impression of her parents?” Yin Jiujin didn’t care about other people’s business, but he knew that Xi Fengling was Yan Jinyu’s companion.

That was why he made an exception and paid attention to what Yan Jinyu cared about.

“No.”

“I heard from Meimei that she was dumped at the entrance of the orphanage. She was only a few months old when the director picked her up. At that time, she had a letter and a sum of money on her. Her name was written in that letter.” It sounded a little melodramatic, but it was indeed the truth.

“So Meimei wasn’t abandoned. Her parents must have been forced to put her in an orphanage.”

“However, Meimei was discovered and taken away by Ghost Slaughter Island before her parents could return to look for her.”

Yan Jinyu’s eyes turned cold.

“Those people from Ghost Slaughter Island indeed can’t be allowed to continue living in this world. Otherwise, every time I think about how so many people’s lives were ruined because of them, I want to cut them into pieces!”

Didn’t her life, too, change drastically because of those people?

Yin Jiujin caressed her face sympathetically and kissed her forehead. “That day will come.”

“She didn’t try to find her parents?”

“She did, but she didn’t find anything. Perhaps because she was disappointed too many times, Meimei gave up.”

Yan Jinyu rubbed his chin. “Brother Nine, do you think I should tell Meimei?”

“When I was probing Feng Qin earlier, I asked her if she had any siblings. She said no, but when she said that, she hesitated.”

“Do you want to tell her?”

Yan Jinyu shook her head decisively. “Meimei has been disappointed too many times. I’m afraid that I’ll disappoint her again if I give her hope this time. Without full confidence, I don’t want her to know.”

“Then don’t tell her for now.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “I’ll help you investigate, okay?”

Yan Jinyu looked at him. Before she could say anything, Yin Jiujin said, “Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. I have more people under me. It’s faster for me to investigate things.”

“I’m not rejecting you. I just want?Feng1?to investigate it himself. If Feng knows about this, he’ll like to investigate it himself rather than let me do it.”

“Alright, do whatever you want.”

Yan Jinyu wrapped her arms around his neck. “Then, Brother Nine, has your anger subsided?”

“What anger?”

Yan Jinyu glanced at him. “You’re asking the obvious. You were clearly jealous just now.”

“If you know that I’m jealous, don’t interact with him so much in the future. It’s best if you don’t interact at all.”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible.”

Yin Jiujin glared at her.

Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, Brother Nine. I promise you to have less interaction with him, but we really can’t have zero interaction. That person is involved with the Jones Family, so we still have to interact.”

Yin Jiujin couldn’t be bothered to be jealous. His eyes were filled with worry.

“Brother Nine, don’t worry. He’s not Jones. I’m certain of that. It’s just that I saw him in the Jones Family back then.”

Under Yin Jiujin’s puzzled gaze, Yan Jinyu told him about meeting Bo Lang in the Jones Family after assassinating Old Jones.

Upon hearing that, Yin Jiujin frowned slightly. “So, you even saved him?”

“Brother Nine, why are you jealous of everything? You know that we’re just taking what we need.”

“But you saved him too.”

“…”

Yin Jiujin raised her chin slightly with his hand that was caressing her face and made her look at him. “However, even if you’ve saved him, I still want you to do it again.”

She had saved Bo Lang and Bo Lang had led the way for her to leave the Jones Family safely. Nothing was more important than her safety.

Even if he was still jealous.

“If you encounter such a thing in the future, think about what’s beneficial to you first. Your safety is prioritized over everything. You don’t have to consider my feelings.”

“However, I still have to be jealous. Who asked you to seduce my soul and occupy my heart? However, you have to remember that nothing is more important than your safety.”

Yan Jinyu was both touched and speechless.

She was touched that he said nothing was more important than her safety. She was speechless that he said she seduced his soul and occupied his heart.

He sounded so sweet.

“Brother Nine, don’t worry. I’m smart.”

Yin Jiujin pinched her face. “Yes, smart girl.”

The kiss ended and a new round began.

On the other side, Min Ting returned to his room after taking Feng Qin away.

Min Ting had never planned to bring Feng Qin here simply for a vacation.

Their intensity was no less than the other side.

However, there was no warmth here when it ended.

Min Ting put on his bathrobe, lit a cigarette, and sat by the bed to smoke. Feng Qin was still lying on the bed with the blanket covering her body. She turned around and had her back facing Min Ting.

From the looks of it, the two of them had their backs facing each other.

After smoking a cigarette, Min Ting sat back on the bed. “What did my Second Sister-in-law talk to you about today?” Although he didn’t know Yan Jinyu well, from Yan Jinyu’s identity, he could tell that Yan Jinyu wasn’t someone who would have the patience to chat with others for no reason.

He had seen Yan Jinyu, Xi Fengling, and Huo Siyu’s behavior when they were together. The atmosphere was indeed very harmonious, but Yan Jinyu mostly listened quietly and occasionally replied while the other two chatted.

Yan Jinyu was already like that in front of people whom she was especially familiar with. This meant that she wasn’t a talkative person.

However, she had said so much to Feng Qin today and even seemed to be chatting happily.

He couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Feng Qin turned around and looked at him. “We didn’t talk much. We were just chatting.”

“Chatting? What were you chatting about?”

“She asked me about some interesting things that I encountered in the entertainment circle. She asked me where I was from and if I had any siblings…”

At this point, Feng Qin paused.

“Oh, she even mentioned when I joined the industry. Miss Yan seems to be my fan. She even knows that I joined the industry after graduating from high school.”

“Other than that, there shouldn’t be anything special.”

Fans?

Min Ting was even more certain that something was amiss.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He knew very well that it was impossible for Yan Jinyu to really be Feng Qin’s fan. She wasn’t a fan, but she even knew when Feng Qin entered the industry. Yan Jinyu wasn’t that bored yet.

In other words, she had investigated Feng Qin.

She wouldn’t have investigated Feng Qin for no reason.

“You’ve met my second sister-in-law before?”

Feng Qin shook her head decisively. “No, this is the first time I’ve seen her. However, I’ve heard a lot of rumors about her.”

“Then, how did you answer all the questions she asked you? I’m referring to the questions of where you came from and whether you have siblings.”

“I simply told the truth.”

“Where are you from? Do you have any siblings at home?”

Feng Qin looked at him strangely. “Third Young Master Min, what are you doing? Didn’t we say that we only care about the content of the contract? I won’t look for other men during the contract’s period. We won’t interfere with each other for the rest?”

“What you’re asking is beyond the contract’s scope.”

“Third Young Master Min, are you interested in me?”

When Min Ting heard that, he looked at her and sneered, “You sure dare to think about it.”

“It’d better not be. I don’t want to be too involved with a wealthy family, especially a top-notch family like your Min Family. It’s impossible for a family like yours to marry someone like me who is in the entertainment circle. It will make things difficult for everyone when you care about me.”

Impossible to marry her?

Min Rufeng’s woman came from a messy place like a bar in the eyes of the world. Wasn’t there no issue…

Min Ting suddenly paused.

What was he thinking?

It was impossible for him to marry this woman. He was just putting on a show to get what he needed. Why was he thinking so much?

“Don’t change the topic. Don’t even think about it.”

“I’ll ask again. Where are you from?”

“You can find that out easily. Why do you have to ask?”

Seeing that Min Ting was already impatient, Feng Qin rolled her eyes secretly and said, “I lived in Water City when I was young. I came to Cloud City with my mother after I was 10 years old.”

“Your mother? What about your father?”

“Dead. He was long dead. I was only two years old when he died.”

Min Ting paused and stared at her.

She spoke calmly, but he could sense the sadness in her heart.

It wasn’t that he suddenly had feelings for her, but his mother, too, had died when he was very young.

“What about your mother? Does she live in Cloud City alone? Or do you have other siblings keeping her company?”

“Don’t think too much. I’m not concerned about you. I just know very well that my second sister-in-law won’t ask questions like this about someone she met for the first time for no reason. I want to find out and see if I can help.”

“Don’t say that she’s your fan and it’s normal for her to ask you these questions. Fans? Perhaps there’s someone in this world who’s qualified to be her idol, but that person definitely won’t be you.”

Feng Qin’s lips twitched. “Am I that bad?”

“It’s not that you’re bad, but she’s too strong.”

Seeing that she was stunned, Min Ting smiled. “Don’t tell me you really think that she’s cute and innocent? Do you think someone like my Second Brother would really like a naive person?”

“Even if my Second Brother really likes her, will the people under my Second Brother trust her? Of course, you wouldn’t know that, but you can tell my attitude towards her, right?”

Feng Qin was stunned. “You… respect her very much.”

“She…”

“You don’t have to know too much. You just have to know that the questions she asked you must not be a simple chat.”

After a moment of silence, Feng Qin said, “I don’t have any siblings, but my mother isn’t alone in Cloud City. There are other relatives at home.”

She lowered her eyelids and clenched her fists under the blanket. She opened her eyes and looked at Min Ting again. Feng Qin asked, “Compared to this, I’ve always had a question that I want Third Young Master Min to answer.”

Min Ting glanced at her and gestured for her to speak.

“There were three girls with me at that banquet. Why did Third Young Master Min only save me? I heard that Third Young Master Min never interfered in such matters.”

“You’re an artist under my company.”

This answer was obviously not sincere.

“An artist under the company?”

Feng Qin chuckled. “Third Young Master Min, as the secret boss of the company, how can you know which artists are under you? Of course, I’m not saying that you’re not capable. I just want to say that I was at most a C-list celebrity at that time. There were so many big shots in the company. It’s impossible for you to remember me.”

“Why not?” Min Ting’s hand landed on her face and his smile was a little unruly. “There are so many female celebrities, but you’re the only one I like.”

“Your face is more beautiful than many people’s.”

“Is that so? Thank you for your compliment, Third Young Master Min.” She took his hand and kissed it.

It really matched the words “putting on a show”.

“But Third Young Master Min, you didn’t tell me the truth, right? Why did you suddenly save me back then?”

Min Ting rolled over and trapped her. He kissed her. “You’re quite smart.”

He said mockingly, “How could such a smart person almost suffer a huge loss? Could it be that her brain isn’t used on the right path?”

“Third Young Master Min, speak properly. Don’t attack me personally.” If she didn’t have any brains, would she have failed for the first time after being in the entertainment circle for almost four years?

The only time was when she was schemed against by her good friend.

She almost fell big time.

If Min Ting hadn’t saved her…

It had to be said that Min Ting was still considered a gentleman and did not take advantage of her. Even when she was drugged and was in a daze, he only brought her home and hired a private doctor.

This was also one of the reasons why she didn’t reject Min Ting.

Even though he had mentioned about keeping her as soon as she woke up.

“Also, Third Young Master Min can forget about changing the topic.”

“I got the wrong person.”

“What?” Feng Qin thought she had heard wrongly.

“I interfered because I got the wrong person.”

Although she clearly didn’t have any feelings for him, Feng Qin’s heart still ached for some reason when she heard him say that. “You mean, you mistook me for someone else and saved me?”

Min Ting looked down at her. “Do you have to be so agitated? Are you sad?”

“…No.”

Sad? How was that possible?

She knew their relationship very well and she had never crossed the line. She had seen the Feng Family’s scheming and she did not like to be involved with these wealthy families.

“I’m just curious who you mistook me for…” She suddenly paused and quickly grabbed Min Ting’s arm with wide eyes. “Have you seen a woman who looks like me?!”
