Chapter 431: Master Nine’s Face Darkened

Yan Jinyu felt that it was funny. She couldn’t help but laugh. “I bought them when I saw that they were suitable for them on my trip. How do you know about such a small matter?”

Of course, he had unintentionally seen gift boxes on his assistant and the two secretaries’ desks.

“That’s not important.”

“I’m only asking you. They all have gifts. Why don’t I have any?” As he spoke, Yin Jiujin’s eyes were blinking, and his tone was sour.

Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but throw herself into his arms and laugh. “Brother Nine, why are you like a child? You’re actually jealous because others have gifts but you don’t.”

Yin Jiujin thought to himself,?That’s because it’s your gift. I might not care about other people’s gifts.

Cheng Lin, who was driving in front, agreed with Yan Jinyu.

Master Nine had become increasingly childish ever since Miss Yu was by his side.

However, he didn’t dare to say anything. He treated himself as an emotionless tool and focused on driving the car.

Yin Jiujin raised his hand to support her waist to stabilize her body and not let her fall. “So, I don’t have a gift?”

“Of course.” Yan Jinyu looked up from his arms and smiled very happily. “You’re my Brother Nine. It’s impossible for me not to bring one for you.”

She took the small bag at the side and opened it. She took out a simple wooden box from it. “I bought this for you on the first day I went on a vacation. See if you like it.”

Yin Jiujin took it.

Even if it was a stone, as long as she gave it to him, he would like it. Furthermore, just looking at the box, he knew that the gift inside was unusual.

He opened it.

It was a purple dragon jade pendant.

With Yin Jiujin’s judgment, he could tell at a glance that this was something that was difficult to buy even with money.

“How is it? It’s very beautiful, right? I felt that this jade pendant suited you at first glance, so I bidded for it.”

Yin Jiujin successfully caught the word “bid”.

So it was bought at an auction. No wonder it was not an ordinary item.

“That’s right.” After staring at the jade pendant for a few seconds, he closed the wooden box and pinched her face. “At least you have some conscience.”

Yan Jinyu glared at him angrily.

When did she ever lose her conscience?

“Speaking of which, Brother Nine, I met someone when I went to the auction. Her name seems to be Chu Yiran. Do you know her? She called you Nine.”

“…” Yin Jiujin.

Did it have to be so scary all of a sudden?

He tensed up and carefully looked at the young lady in front of him. Seeing that she was looking at him with a faint smile, Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat.

“How did you meet her? What did she say to you?”

Without waiting for Yan Jinyu to speak, he hurriedly said, “No matter what she says, don’t believe her. I’m not familiar with her. Really, not familiar at all!”

Afraid that Yan Jinyu wouldn’t believe him, he placed the wooden box in his hand on the seat and held her shoulders with both hands. “Little Yu’er, you have to believe me. No matter what she says, don’t believe her. I’m really not familiar with her.”

Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows imperceptibly. “So, there’s really such a person?” Actually, seeing Yin Jiujin’s reaction, her disgust dissipated.

Besides, she hated the way Chu Yiran addressed Yin Jiujin. It wasn’t like she hated Yin Jiujin, so she wouldn’t take her anger out on him.

“Y-yes.”

Suddenly, his expression turned cold. Yin Jiujin asked anxiously, “You fought with her? Did she harm you? Or did she come to you and say something inexplicable?”

Yin Jiujin’s impression of Chu Yiran was before Liu Junqing didn’t betray him and he was still in the army.

Chu Yiran and Liu Junqing had a very good relationship, so he had interacted with them a lot. However, she really didn’t have a good relationship with him and Qin Hao.

They reluctantly accepted that she was always in their circle because she was Liu Junqing’s friend.

They really forced themselves to accept her.

“We didn’t fight. Someone like her isn’t worthy enough for me to do it personally in my territory.” Yan Jinyu smiled faintly, and her tone was a little arrogant.

However, Yin Jiujin knew that she had the right to be arrogant.

She made him mesmerized with her behavior.

She was fascinating.

However, he still caught the main point.

“Your territory?”

“Oh, the Bi Family’s auction house. I own 30% of its shares.”

“…” Yin Jiujin.

It wasn’t that he had never heard of the Bi Family Auction House. On the contrary, it was precisely because he had heard of it that he knew what the Bi Family Auction House meant and what its 30% shares meant.

It turned out that his girl was also a rich girl.

Looking at how easily she said it as if it was just a few dollars, he knew that this must be a very small part of her many assets.

He was under a lot of pressure when the young lady was so rich. If she suddenly didn’t want him to support her, who else could he spend the money he earned on?

No, so what if she had money? She could only spend his money on food and clothes.

“Not only did we not fight, but she didn’t even know who I was. However, I slapped her hard in the face. If she knew who I was, I think she would want to kill me.”

“How dare she!”

“That’s really hard to say. After all, some people won’t shed tears until they see the coffin.” Her smile was a little unfathomable. Even Yin Jiujin couldn’t understand the meaning in her smile.

However, he did not ask further.

He was afraid that she would misunderstand and did not have the mood to care about anything else.

“Brother Nine, do you want to know how I embarrassed her?” She looked a little proud.

She shouldn’t be angry like this, right?

Yin Jiujin heaved a sigh of relief. “How did you do it?”

“I asked the people at the auction to throw her out. Hahaha… If she wasn’t wearing a mask back then, her expression would have been very beautiful.”

“…” Yin Jiujin.

He was helpless and afraid.

He felt helpless because she was childish. He was afraid that he would suffer if she really misunderstood.

However, it was more appropriate to call it fear.

“Yes, you did very well. Do this the next time you meet such a person.”

“Tell me about the situation at that time. Since she didn’t recognize you, there’s no reason for her to…”?call me that.

Yin Jiujin was smart enough not to finish his sentence.

He knew that Yan Jinyu could understand.

“I met Little Rain and Young Master Qin. She should have followed Young Master Qin to carry out a mission. However, did your organization really nurture someone like her, who disobeyed the orders of her superior and secretly took the auction pass from her superior and acted on her own?”

Upon hearing that, Yin Jiujin frowned deeply with anger in his eyes.

He was in the army in the past. Some missions…

It was the kind of special mission that Qin Hao was in charge of now. If he was not careful, he might lose his life. There was actually such a person who ignored the orders of her superior and acted rashly? If she was his subordinate, he would definitely not care about gender. He would beat her half to death before talking about punishment after he returned from the mission.

They were simply treating the lives of their comrades as child’s play!

Yan Jinyu knew what he was thinking when she saw his expression. “Don’t worry. Little Rain and Young Master Qin are both safe. It’s just that we couldn’t find the mission target that night.”

“She was arguing with Young Master Qin and mentioned ‘Nine’ when she felt that Young Master Qin had disregarded their many years of relationship and embarrassed her.”

Yan Jinyu smiled at him, and Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat again.

“That’s what she said to Young Master Qin back then.”

She repeated her words in Chu Yiran’s tone, “You actually disregarded our years of friendship and humiliated me like this! If Nine was here, he wouldn’t have…”

“That’s what she said.”

“…” Yin Jiujin. He was disgusted.

He took a deep breath to prevent his anger from exploding in front of Yan Jinyu. “Don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m not familiar with her at all!”

“Then, what’s with her familiar tone and the way she calls you ‘Nine’?”

“I don’t know why her tone is so familiar, but this nickname…”

As if he recalled something from a long time ago, Yin Jiujin’s expression was a little complicated. “Actually, Liu Junqing called it out when he was joking. However, Qin Hao used it more later. I’m a man. Why should I be called that?”

“I never allowed them to call me that.”

“Later on, Liu Junqing betrayed me. I minded it even more when I thought that he was the one who called me that first, so…”

“…” Yan Jinyu. So that was the reason.

However, wasn’t Liu Junqing’s presence too strong?

Why was everything related to him? Even a form of address that Yin Jiujin minded so much was related to him. If Liu Junqing wasn’t a man, she would have suspected that there was something between Liu Junqing and Yin Jiujin.

It seemed like it was fate that Liu Junqing died in her hands!

“So, there’s nothing to do with Chu Yiran at all?”

“I already said that I’m not familiar with her.”

“What about Liu Junqing? Brother Nine, tell me honestly. Is there any unspeakable relationship between you and Liu Junqing? After all, it’s not like gays don’t exist in real life.”

Yin Jiujin’s face darkened. “Don’t you know my sexual orientation the best? Or is it that I don’t work hard enough usually and I don’t let you feel it deep enough? Then, I’ll let you feel it tonight!”

“…” Cheng Lin. He was deaf and didn’t hear anything.

“…I was just asking,” Yan Jinyu said.

“Can you ask such a thing casually? My fiancée already has doubts about my sexual orientation! This is very serious!”

“…Then, you can’t blame me. Who asked you to keep thinking about Liu Junqing? You even let him call you ‘Nine’? I get goosebumps whenever I think about him calling you ‘Nine’ sweetly in front of you.”

“…” Yin Jiujin. Sweetly?

He thought about that scene and trembled right away.

He couldn’t bear to look at that!

Yin Jiujin’s face darkened when he suddenly realized what Yan Jinyu had said. “I didn’t ask him to call me that!”

“Alright, alright, alright. If it’s not, it’s not. Don’t be so agitated.”

“Since you’re not familiar with Chu Yiran, I won’t show her any mercy when I confront her.”

“Confront her?” Yin Jiujin was puzzled.

However, Yan Jinyu didn’t intend to explain. She only smiled faintly.

Yin Jiujin was puzzled, but since she didn’t say anything, he didn’t intend to ask further. He said, “There’s no need to show mercy. I can still help you if you’re going to confront her.”

That night, Yin Jiujin naturally didn’t let Yan Jinyu off. Hence, the next day, Yin Jiujin only went to the company at noon and Yan Jinyu, who had promised to help him, lay at home for the entire day.

In the blink of an eye, it was the start of school in September.
