Chapter 117: Silly And Ignorant

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 didn’t show it. Seeing that she wasn’t drinking anymore, Yin Jiujin didn’t say anything. He took the glass of water and placed it back on the desk.

“Brother Nine, are you still angry with me?” Yan Jinyu looked at him and asked.

In fact, she was already certain that Yin Jiujin wasn’t angry with her. If he was angry with her, he wouldn’t 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. “I’m not angry with you.” Even if he was a little angry at first, it had dispersed after returning to Mount Jing.

She had already seen that he wasn’t angry with her. Now that she heard it from him, Yan Jinyu still heaved a sigh of relief.

She hugged him back. “Brother Nine, I… didn’t mean to.”

“I know. It’s already in the past. There’s no need to mention it again in the future.” 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 hadn’t done well enough and they hadn’t 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. “It’s getting late. You just… lay down and rest. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

“Brother Nine, you… don’t have anything to ask me?”

“No.” He had already asked others what he needed to ask. He already had a rough idea of her situation.

“Just don’t drink yogurt so carelessly in the future, even if you really like it.”

Yan Jinyu smiled. She really couldn’t 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, “Go to sleep.”

It did not matter if she did not respond. After all, with him watching in the future, he would not let today’s 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. “Brother Nine.”

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. “I’m not leaving. I’ll go get your phone. Your phone kept ringing previously, so I muted it.”

When Yan Jinyu heard him say that, she couldn’t help but glance at the phone on the desk. The screen was no longer flashing. In other words, Feng didn’t call her again. He probably knew her well enough and knew that she would figure it out herself after reading those messages. Hence, he wasn’t so worried anymore.

Actually, it wasn’t that. Even after sending the message, Min Rufeng… or rather, Xi Fengling, who was beside him, wasn’t completely at ease. She continued to call Yan Jinyu. Huo Siyu, who received Yin Jiujin’s call later, knew that he had discovered Yan Jinyu’s situation and definitely wouldn’t 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.

“There’s no need for that. I’ll call you back tomorrow. On the other hand, aren’t you curious who’s been calling me, Brother Nine?”

She didn’t intend to return the call, and Yin Jiujin didn’t insist.

He sat down on the bed and held her hand as he looked at her. “If you want to say it, I’ll listen attentively. If you don’t want to say it, it’s fine.” He didn’t ask further nor show any curiosity.

“I’ll still say the same thing. You’re still my fiancée after all. You’ll also be my wife in the future. This will never change.”

“You have the right to make friends. I won’t interfere too much.” Of course, there was a premise.

Not with overly intimate friends of the opposite sex.

Yin Jiujin didn’t 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 Jiujin’s 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. “Brother Nine, you’re so smart. You actually knew that Little Rain and I knew each other long ago, right?”

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 couldn’t let Yin Jiujin know for the time being, she would tell him what he could know.

Yin Jiujin was a little surprised. He didn’t expect her to expose this matter.

He restrained his emotions and nodded. “Yes.”

“I’ve 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, I’ll introduce them to you.”

Yin Jiujin was very sharp. He caught the word “partners”.

Not close friends, but close partners.

There was a difference between friends and partners to a certain extent.

“Yes.” He did not intend to probe further.

“Brother 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 haven’t seen each other for a long time. Since she’s in North City, we have to spend more time together. Brother Nine, you… please don’t mind so much.”

“…” 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.

“Little Rain wouldn’t be in North City for long. She’ll return to the capital in a few days. When Little Rain leaves, I’ll accompany you every day. I’ll be at Mount Jing if you’re at Mount Jing. I’ll follow you to the company if you go there. Anyway, I’ll go wherever you go.”

“I will be following you. But what would be my status?”

Yin Jiujin, who was happy that she said she would go wherever he went, was about to speak when she interrupted him, “Fiancée?”

As she spoke, Yan Jinyu shook her head. “No, no, no. Fiancées should stay at home. Who would bring their fiancées along wherever they go? That’s not appropriate. If your business partners or competitors know about this, they will also laugh at you.”

“Why don’t you announce to the world that I’m your lover, Brother Nine?”

“…” Yin Jiujin.

After saying that, she shook her head. “No, that doesn’t seem to work either. Anyone who knows Brother Nine should know that you have a fiancée called Yan Jinyu. It’s obviously impossible to use an alias too since so many people saw me at the Yan Family’s banquet that day.”

“Then, why don’t you say that I’m your secretary, Brother Nine?”

“I don’t think so. Everyone knows that I only graduated from junior high school. I don’t have enough education.”

Suddenly, Yan Jinyu’s eyes lit up. “Brother Nine, why don’t you hire me as your bodyguard! The kind that doesn’t need a salary. You just need to take care of my meals. I’m very formidable. I’m completely qualified to be your bodyguard!”

She was the one who kept talking. Yin Jiujin couldn’t interrupt at all.

When she finally finished speaking, she stared at him with her round eyes in anticipation. Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but laugh. “Silly.”

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 didn’t slap his hand away. Instead, she grabbed his hand. “Brother Nine, I’m serious. I’m not joking!”

“Yes.” Yin Jiujin’s eyes were still smiling.

She looked pale and very vulnerable. He didn’t continue to pinch her face. Instead, he opened his palm and placed his palm on her cheek. His thumb caressed her smooth skin.

“So are you going to hire me or not?”

“I don’t want any salary. Don’t you believe me? I’m really good. Few people are my match in fights. I can protect you.”

“Yes, you’re hired,” he said, leaning over and kissing her on the lips.
