Chapter 113: Jinyu’s Panic

Yan Jinyu didn’t have any appetite anymore. Not only that, but she also felt an inexplicable panic when she saw Yin Jiujin like this.

Yes, panic.

This was the first time in so many years that she had such emotions.

With this panic, she could not suppress her usual frustration. She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them as she clenched and unclenched her fists. She raised the glass of water beside her and took a sip.

It was useless.

Yin Jiujin was still immersed in Yan Jinyu’s distrust of him, so he didn’t notice anything wrong with Yan Jinyu at all. Even Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun, who were sitting opposite them and had stopped eating because of the commotion, didn’t notice it.

But Huo Siyu found out.

She was a little flustered.

After knowing Beauty Yu for so many years, she had seen Beauty Yu’s frustration countless times. Especially on the day of Beauty Yu’s first killing every year, she would either go out on a mission to vent her emotions or hide in her room to drink yogurt for the entire day…

In recent years, under Brother Feng’s medicinal care, Beauty Yu only would lose control of her emotions on that day every year. This was also why on that day, they would indulge her and not limit her yogurt. They would even call her because they were worried about her.

But today was not that special day…

She thought that Beauty Yu’s condition had improved.

Perhaps Beauty Yu’s situation had indeed improved a little. Other than the deepest thought in her heart—Returning to the Yan Family— was settled, and it was also because of Yin Jiujin, whom she cared about.

In other words, whether Beauty Yu’s situation would repeat itself was greatly related to Yin Jiujin.

Like now.

“Beauty Yu, yogurt…” Huo Siyu only realized that the bottle of yogurt that Yan Jinyu had been holding was empty.

She got even more anxious.

“Waiter!”

The guest had a special status and the manager had personally handled her. Naturally, there was a waiter waiting not far away. When he heard the shout, he hurriedly came over, “Miss, what do you need?”

“Bring me a packet of yogurt!” She could already see Beauty Yu’s hand on the silver watch on her left wrist.

It was completely Beauty Yu’s subconscious action.

The waiter was stunned. “I’m sorry, Miss. We don’t have yogurt in the shop.”

“No?”

“Yes. If Miss really needs it, I can go and buy it outside.”

“There’s no need for that,” Yan Jinyu looked up and smiled.

They were all smart people, so Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun had also figured it out a little, especially Yan Jinyun who had seen Yan Jinyu vomiting because she had drunk too much yogurt in the washroom.

She pursed her lips tightly and looked at Yan Jinyu.

“Beauty Yu…”

Yan Jinyu smiled at her, “Little Rain, it’s fine.”

Looking at Yin Jiujin, who was frowning when he heard the commotion, Yan Jinyu chuckled and said, “I’m done eating. If Brother Nine is done eating, let’s go.”

Yin Jiujin looked at her deeply, but no matter how he looked at her, all he saw was her smile.

Her smiling eyes were clear and pure.

She did not seem to be affected by it, so she actually did not take the misunderstanding about him to heart?

She didn’t trust him and didn’t seem to care about him… i

Of course, he also understood that perhaps because she was still young, there were many things she did not understand.

However, even if he knew, he still felt a little stifled.

He could accept that she did not know many things because she was young and he was not in a hurry either. Anyway, there was still a long time ahead of them. He could take it slow.

However, he could not accept that she didn’t trust him.

He could not accept her suspecting him for someone else.

This not only showed that she didn’t trust him enough, but it also showed that in her heart, he was not as important as others.

He stood up. “Let’s go.” However, he didn’t hold her hand.

Yan Jinyu also stood up.

“Beauty Yu…”

Yan Jinyu smiled. “I’ll make a move first. I’ll call you tomorrow.”

She said to Feng Yuan, “I’ll have to trouble Cousin Feng Yuan to send Yun’er back to the Yan Family.”

“I’ll send her back safely. Don’t worry. But Jinyu, are you… alright?”

Yan Jinyun also looked at Yan Jinyu, but she still pursed her lips tightly and didn’t say anything.

“What can happen to me? Don’t I look fine now?”

“But…” Feng Yuan didn’t know what to say either.

He did not understand why the situation became like this when Master Nine had only asked Huo Siyu a few questions.

Although Master Nine’s questions about Huo Siyu were very abnormal, and so abnormal that he almost suspected that this person was not the Master Nine he knew, no matter what, weren’t they just two very ordinary questions? At most, it would show that Master Nine was very possessive of Jinyu. He was even jealous that a girl like Huo Siyu was occupying Jinyu.

What was wrong with that?

Taking a step back, even if Master Nine’s question was really abnormal, Master Nine looked like he was obviously angry. Jinyu, who clearly looked a little anxious at the beginning and wanted to explain but was interrupted by Master Nine, shouldn’t look like she was fine.

He was worried about Jinyu, especially since Huo Siyu’s reaction was so big.

He did not know the exact relationship between Huo Siyu and Jinyu, but he could tell that they must be very familiar with each other. Huo Siyu, who was familiar with Jinyu, was so flustered that she could even knock over an empty yogurt bottle. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

“I’ll make a move first,” Yan Jinyu said with a smile.

Then, she turned and chased after Yin Jiujin, who had already walked far away.

Huo Siyu had good eyesight. She could clearly see that Yan Jinyu wanted to reach out to hold Yin Jiujin’s hand twice, but she only reached out halfway before retracting her hand both times.

She placed her hands behind her back and touched her left wrist with her right hand.

She couldn’t understand Beauty Yu like that.

Did Beauty Yu manage to control her usual frustration?

If she didn’t control her emotions, why would she behave like this? Every time Beauty Yu couldn’t control her emotions, there were only two ways to deal with it. One was to vent her emotions, and the other was to drink yogurt.

But now, Beauty Yu was doing neither.

However, if she had already controlled it, what was going on with Beauty Yu’s act of reaching out to hold Yin Jiujin’s hand before retracting it and then touching her “weapon”?

It was also Yin Jiujin’s fault. If he was jealous, he could have just said so. Why was he being so pretentious? He even beat around the bush to target her and did something that didn’t match his status at all.

Great, now it backfired!

She was blaming herself now. If she hadn’t come to North City to look for Beauty Yu…

Huo Siyu’s lips twitched at the thought of this.

What was going on!

She had not seen Beauty Yu for more than a year. Could it be that she could not even come to North City to see Beauty Yu?

In the end, it was all because Yin Jiujin was too petty!

That man was so possessive that he was even jealous of her.

If he had been more magnanimous, would there be so much trouble now?

However, on second thought, the stronger Yin Jiujin’s possessiveness towards Beauty Yu, it meant the more he cared about her. This was a good thing…

It was so confusing that it burned her brain!

“Miss Huo.”

Yan Jinyun’s voice interrupted Huo Siyu’s thoughts and she looked up.

“Is my sister… alright?”

Huo Siyu looked at her deeply and then smiled. “It’s fine. Didn’t you see it too? She’s fine. If there’s really anything wrong, it’s just her and Second Young Master Yin having a little squabble. She’ll be fine in a few days. Don’t worry too much.”

“You’d better focus on the matter of the Luo Family that Beauty Yu mentioned. It won’t be good for you if the Luo Family falls into Luo Yilin’s hands. Since Beauty Yu knows all the secrets of the Luo Family, she obviously spent some effort investigating them. Just don’t waste her effort.”

“You don’t have to worry too much about Luo Yilin. I’ll go to Elegant Bamboo to take a look later and make sure that he has learned his lesson.” The meaning of learning his lesson was to teach him a lesson again.

Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan naturally understood as well, but they had no time to care about that now.

They were still worried about Yan Jinyu.

“Alright, don’t worry. If Beauty Yu really has something on, I’ll be even more anxious than you. I’ll make a move first. Go back early. See you later.”

Huo Siyu left quickly.

Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun looked at her retreating back and looked at each other. After a long while, Feng Yuan said, “Since Miss Huo has said so, I think it should be fine. So much has happened today, so you should be tired. I’ll send you back to rest early. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

A lot had indeed happened.

The Yan Corporation had changed hands. Luo Yilin was looking for trouble, and Yan Jinyun was almost taken away by Luo Yilin. Jinyu appeared and turned the situation around in an inconceivable way. She brought Luo Yilin away and told them a secret about the Luo Family. She met Xu Xiaoxiao when she was eating in the restaurant, and Master Nine and Jinyu were obviously in a bad mood afterward…

Putting Yan Jinyun aside, he did feel a little tired after this day.

Yan Jinyun heard Feng Yuan’s words and looked up at him. Feng Yuan felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him. She then said, “Don’t you feel sorry for Xu Xiaoxiao for ending up like this?”

Feng Yuan was stunned. “Why should I feel sorry for her? She’s not someone to me!”

“Isn’t she your ex-girlfriend?”

“…Didn’t you say that she’s my ex-girlfriend? There’s a huge difference between an ex-girlfriend and a girlfriend, okay? I’ve already broken up with her, so why should I care about her?”

“You’ve only broken up for so long, and you’re already turning your back on her. You’re such a jerk.” With that said, she stood up and left from the other side.

Feng Yuan quickly got up and chased after her, “Yan Jinyun, tell me clearly. Who’s the jerk?! Besides, it’s none of your business if I’m a jerk…”

Yan Jinyun stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.

Feng Yuan couldn’t continue talking.

“Indeed. It’s none of my business whether you’re a jerk or not.” With that said, she turned and walked out of the restaurant.

Feng Yuan was stunned on the spot. He wanted to shout, “That’s what it is”, but he couldn’t say it out loud.

On the way back to the Yan Family, neither of them spoke again.

***

On the other side, Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin were sitting in a car.

Yin Jiujin was driving while Yan Jinyu sat in the front passenger seat.

The two of them were silent.

Yin Jiujin looked straight ahead and focused on driving. Yan Jinyu turned her head to look at the night scenery outside the car window, but she didn’t look at Yin Jiujin.

Of course, only they knew if Yin Jiujin was indeed focused on driving and if Yan Jinyu was really looking at the night scenery outside the car window.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Mount Jing.

Although the two of them had not had many chances to be alone since they met, this was the first time they had been silent for such a long time. The atmosphere was still a little unusual.

The car drove into the small courtyard of the villa and stopped.

Yin Jiujin got out of the car but he didn’t open the door for Yan Jinyu as usual. Although he paused for a moment after getting out of the car, he still didn’t open the door for her. He didn’t wait for her to get out of the car either. Instead, he walked straight to the small villa.

However, after Yan Jinyu got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the villa, he held the car keys and locked the car.

Yin Jiujin had said that he wouldn’t be back for dinner, so Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng didn’t wait here for him. They had already returned to the small building behind.

Hence, there were only Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu in the entire villa.

After entering the house, Yin Jiujin hung the car keys by the door and went upstairs.

Halfway down the stairs, she heard Yan Jinyu’s voice from behind. “Brother Nine.”

He stopped in his tracks but did not turn back.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but clench his fists, but he didn’t turn back.

She didn’t trust him.

However, when he heard her apologize, his heart felt like it was being held tightly by something. It was very uncomfortable.

After a long while, he sighed softly.

Forget it. Since the young lady had already said that she was sorry, it meant that she had realized the problem. He would forgive her then.

However, in order to make her remember not to suspect him so easily next time, he could not let her know that he had already forgiven her. At least, he had to wait until tomorrow morning.

He walked upstairs.

If Yin Jiujin had turned back and seen Yan Jinyu’s expression, he definitely wouldn’t have left Yan Jinyu behind.

Yan Jinyu was expressionless, and her dark eyes were abstruse. Looking at Yin Jiujin’s back, who was ignoring her and walking straight upstairs, a smile appeared on her lips.

It was a bitter and self-deprecating smile.

She was born with early wisdom. This was the first time she had said “I’m sorry” since she had memories.

She was indeed the one who was in the wrong this time. Therefore, even if it was the first time she had apologized to someone, it was understandable that Yin Jiujin ignored her.

She was just flustered.

There was panic and confusion in this mess.

She walked to the kitchen and found a clean basin. She took out all the yogurt from the fridge and placed it in the basin.

There were more than 20 bottles of yogurt.

She carried them upstairs to her room.

She was frustrated and could not sit down quietly to think about things. However, she could not go out and find someone to vent her emotions now. The only solution was to drink yogurt.

She really wanted to drink yogurt now.

She didn’t like yogurt much, but like many people who didn’t like alcohol much but simply wanted to drink alcohol when they were in a bad mood, it was for the exact same reason that she drank yogurt.
