After the kiss, Yin Jiujin hugged her and looked into her eyes. “Am I not as important as a painting? Huh?”
“No—”
Before Yan Jinyu could say anything, her lips were covered again.
She could only sigh helplessly and cooperate with him.
Yin Jiujin finally stopped after the long kiss.
He sat her on his lap with his back against the sofa.
Yin Jiujin was mostly dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. Yan Jinyu had never seen him in a black shirt until today.
He felt even more charming than before.
“Brother Nine, stop fooling around. The more I look at that painting, the more I feel that I seem to have seen the person in it somewhere. However, I should have only glanced at her casually. Otherwise, with my memory, I wouldn’t have forgotten about it.”
Yin Jiujin turned serious. He held her with one hand and tidied her messy hair with the other. “Could it be when you were on Ghost Slaughter Island?”
Yan Jinyu shook her head decisively. “No, people who survive in a place like Ghost Slaughter Island are not ordinary people. If I had seen her on Ghost Slaughter Island, I would definitely remember her, just like Liu Junqing back then.”
“However, even if I’ve seen her, it should be many years ago.”
“On the other hand, Liu Junqing.” Yan Jinyu leaned her face on his shoulder and raised her hand to touch his face. “Brother Nine, I don’t think Liu Guang’s last words were true. There must be another reason for Liu Junqing to suddenly be exposed.”
“But regardless of whether there’s any other reason, I don’t think you should keep remembering that matter back then. At the end of the day, he had ulterior motives ever since he came to your side. Yes, he did a lot of things during this process, but we can’t rule out the possibility that he did those things to gain your trust.”
“Taking a step back, even if he was really forced into a corner, he still chose to attack you in the end. In fact, if he just wants freedom, he can bring his fiancée far away.”
“Although it’s very difficult to avoid being hunted down by Ghost Slaughter Island, I think if he had the intention, he would have chosen to do so and not attack you directly.”
“Moreover, since he can gain your trust by your side, he’s naturally quite capable. In addition, Liu Guang values him. I don’t think he can’t avoid Ghost Slaughter’s pursuit.”
“No matter what, the moment he chose to betray you, you’re not as important to him as some things. Just based on this alone, it’s not worth you not letting go.”
“You’ve done enough for him.”
“Putting everything else aside, he had clearly betrayed you, but you saved his reputation. Up until now, not many people knew about his betrayal. They only thought that he sacrificed himself on a mission.”
“There were so many people who carried out the mission with you back then. Someone must have seen it with their own eyes. You must have to withstand a lot of pressure to protect his reputation.”
Yin Jiujin stared at her with infatuated eyes.
He held her hand on his face and kissed it. “Yes.”
“Don’t worry, I know.” He actually also felt that Liu Guang’s last words were not the truth.
This was his intuition.
And he had relied on this intuition to avoid many dangers before.
Besides, there was no need for Liu Guang to emphasize his last sentences.
It was hard not to suspect him when he emphasized that.
After all, Liu Guang was not an ordinary person. He was not someone who would answer everything others asked.
Even though he was at a disadvantage then.
“On the other hand, didn’t you say that you would tell me immediately if anything happened? You sent yourself to a dangerous place alone without telling me.”
Yan Jinyu thought to herself, Indeed, he won’t skip over this question.
He looked a little sullen.
She leaned over and kissed him comfortingly. “You came before I could say anything. I saw you at the Feng Family that night.”
Yin Jiujin was a little surprised. She had actually discovered him so early on. He thought that she had only realized it later.
On second thought, it was reasonable too.
The young lady was very capable.
“I saw you and knew that you were around. That’s why I didn’t tell you.”
“Then you should have told me. You called me so many times, but you didn’t say a word to me. This makes me feel uncomfortable.”
“I know, I know. I’ll pay attention next time.”
Yin Jiujin snorted coldly. “You make it sound so nice. You still won’t say it when something happens.”
Yan Jinyu was extremely helpless. “I promise. I’ll definitely say it next time. Brother Nine, don’t be angry. I know I’m wrong.”
“Hmph!”
This “hmph” was very funny. Anyway, Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but laugh.
Was it really appropriate to use this cold face to do such a cute action?
She smiled, and Yin Jiujin didn’t feel embarrassed by his actions that didn’t match his persona. Anyway, she wasn’t a stranger.
“Alright, Brother Nine. Why don’t I swear?”
Yin Jiujin held her hand again. “There’s no need for that.”
He became serious for a second. “But you have to remember that even if you don’t want to tell me anything, don’t do it alone. Just like this time, you did very well because you brought Xi Fengling along.”
“The more the merrier. Your friends are all quite capable. It’s better to have them by your side when you encounter problems.”
“Don’t make me worry.”
Yan Jinyu looked at him and then hugged his neck tightly. “Brother Nine, I’ll tell you everything in the future.”
He actually compromised so much for her.
He was clearly an extremely strong person, but he was willing to follow her lead, even if he did not know the situation and was worried, jealous and angry.
At the end of the day, he just didn’t want her to face the danger alone. That was all.
Even if the person staying by her side to help her was not him, he was willing.
How could this person be so good?
Yin Jiujin wrapped his arms around her and replied softly, “Yes.”
The two of them hugged each other quietly for a long time.
It was very warm and touching.
After a long while, Yan Jinyu let go of him and asked, “Brother Nine, your aunt…”
“Don’t worry. Feng Yun will settle it.” Yin Jiujin clearly trusted Feng Yun’s strength very much.
Since he had already said so, Yan Jinyu naturally believed him. “Then, does your aunt really not even recognize Cousin?”
“No,” Yin Jiujin said confidently.
If he could tell, so could Feng Yun.
Yan Jinyu was puzzled.
“Don’t worry. We’ll find out in the future.”
He pinched her face. “Besides, isn’t Hei Yao still around? I think he values Aunt very much.”
Yin Jiujin was already jealous, but unexpectedly, his girl’s expression darkened for a second when he mentioned this person.
He was even more jealous.
However, he could not show it because he knew that she must be feeling terrible now.
He felt sorry for her yet jealous at the same time.
In the end, his heart ached for her and he suppressed his jealousy.
He caressed her face. “Alright, don’t think too much. I don’t think Hei Yao really betrayed you. There must be another reason.”
Even Yin Jiujin could tell that. How could Yan Jinyu, who knew Hei Yao quite well, not tell?
She just couldn’t figure it out.
“I’m going to be angry if you think of another man in front of me again.”
As he spoke, Yin Jiujin placed her on the sofa and stopped hugging her.
He really seemed to be angry.
Yan Jinyu leaned over and hugged his waist. “Alright, alright. I’ll stop doing that.”
“Brother Nine, do you want to know if Hei Yao and I…”
“No! Not at all! Don’t say it. I don’t want to hear it!” Yin Jiujin hurriedly interrupted her. He even turned his back to her and didn’t look at her.
“…” Yan Jinyu. The emotions in her heart dissipated instantly. She wanted to laugh.
She hugged his waist tightly and stuck her head out to look at him. “Brother Nine, I just want to tell you what we’ve experienced and our relationship on Ghost Slaughter Island in the past. I was only friends with him in the past. He’s the same as Feng in my heart. He’s like a brother and a friend.”
Yin Jiujin thought to himself, You treat him as an elder brother, but he might not treat you as a younger sister.
He was a man and knew very well that although a man could restrain his emotions very well, he still could not hide his love for someone.
However, he wouldn’t tell her.
It would be best if she never found out.
The thought of having a man who lusted after her by her side when he was not around made him feel uncomfortable.
He even resented Liu Guang for that.
Back then, why didn’t Liu Guang find him when he was looking for outstanding children to kidnap?
Wasn’t he outstanding enough?
Speaking of which, it was still when he was at home back then. His family members were outstanding, and with his elder brother and Feng Yun holding the fort, he had no chance to show his excellence. Furthermore, he was not the heir of the family, so there was no need to show too much to make the other families who were competing with the Yin Family afraid. Hence, he was the Second Young Master of the Yin Family quietly.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have been so quiet.
He removed her hand from his waist. “You’ve been tired for the entire day. Go take a shower and sleep.”
Without waiting for Yan Jinyu to reply, he turned and carried her up. “Forget it. Let’s shower together.”
“…” Yan Jinyu.
It was already two hours later when the two of them came out of the bathroom.
Yan Jinyu was sleepy.
Yin Jiujin took a blanket and wrapped it around her. He carried her out and helped her dry her hair.
At that moment, someone had already packed Yan Jinyu’s luggage and sent it from the Feng Family.
Yin Jiujin didn’t immediately put on her pajamas for her. He placed her on the bed with the blanket and began to apply the ointment Min Rufeng had given her.
Her wrist was already a little swollen.
Yin Jiujin carefully helped her apply the medicine. While he was glad that she was so capable, his heart ached for her.
Nobody was born with skills.
She could be so capable now because of the countless dangers in the past.
Almost everyone nurtured by Ghost Slaughter Island had the ability to block a bullet. However, their individual abilities were different. His girl was obviously better at this.
However, this was enough to prove that this was a compulsory lesson on Ghost Slaughter Island.
How dangerous was it when she first learned this ability?
Yin Jiujin didn’t even dare to think about it.
After applying the ointment, Yin Jiujin lowered his head and kissed her lips gently.
She was already asleep.
After doing this, Yin Jiujin didn’t immediately lie down beside her. Instead, he opened the luggage that the waiter had just sent in and took a nightdress to put on for her. He then called the hotel to send some food over and personally helped her eat some before sleeping.
It was already the second day when the two of them woke up.
After the kiss, Yin Jiujin hugged her and looked into her eyes. “Am I not as important as a painting? Huh?”
“No—”
Before Yan Jinyu could say anything, her lips were covered again.
She could only sigh helplessly and cooperate with him.
