Chapter 68 - Which Little Rain?
Yan Jinyu wasn't considered short, but she only reached Yin Jiujin's chin when she stood in front of him, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall. In addition, she was petite, beautiful, and had a clean aura unique to young maidens. Standing in front of Yin Jiujin, who had a cold temperament and handsome face, she gave people a huge visual impact.
Especially since someone as cold as Yin Jiujin would actually pinch her face in public.
And Yan Jinyu didn't dodge at all.
She did not even push his hand away immediately, even though her eyes were filled with accusation.
Accusation…
Huo Siyu was shocked.
Based on her understanding of Beauty Yu, not everyone could do such intimate actions to her. No, it should be said that no one had ever done such intimate actions to her.
Because Beauty Yu didn't allow it, and because… nobody dared to.
Furthermore, Beauty Yu had never exuded a maiden-like aura before!
And Yin Jiujin…
Didn't they say that his eyes were cold and he was very cold to his family?
That was right. Yin Jiujin still had a cold expression on his face. He looked like he wasn't easy to get close to, but his actions of pinching someone's face and the words he said didn't reflect that.
His attitude to Beauty Yu…
As expected of Beauty Yu!
"Why are you pinching my face?"
Just as Yan Jinyu was about to slap his hand away, Yin Jiujin retracted his hand and rubbed the top of her head, "Silly girl."
"My hair is all messed up!" Yan Jinyu slapped his hand away, "You're the silly one!"
Huo Siyu couldn't bear to look at her. Beauty Yu was indeed… a little silly.
However, she felt relieved to see Beauty Yu like this.
It was good that she was no longer the Beauty Yu who did not even know what she was living for.
She took a step forward, "Second Young Master Yin, is this your fiancée, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City, Yan Jinyu?"
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows at Yan Jinyu.
There was a smile in Yan Jinyu's eyes.
However, Yan Jinyun frowned. What exactly was the relationship between this woman and Master Nine? What did she mean by asking that suddenly? Did she want to find trouble with Yan Jinyu because of Master Nine?
Even though Yan Jinyun was unhappy and worried, she didn't interrupt their conversation.
Yin Jiujin frowned and glanced at Huo Siyu, but he still nodded. "Mm."
He introduced her to Yan Jinyu, "This is the daughter of the Huo Family in South City, Huo Siyu." Yin Jiujin didn't know or trust Huo Siyu much but he trusted Qin Hao.
A person that Qin Hao cared about should have a good character.
The girl would only turn 18 tomorrow. He heard that the young lady from the Huo Family was only 19. They were about the same age. If they got to know each other, the girl would have more playmates in the future.
In this circle, the young lady had no one to rely on other than him. He would always have things that he could not take into consideration. He should let the girl befriend more girls of her age that he trusted in the circle so there would be someone who could help her when she was in trouble and he was not by her side or could not take care of her.
It was fine in North City now, but when she went to the capital in the future…
The people in the capital were not kind people. The girl was so silly and innocent. He was worried that she would be bullied.
South City… Huo Family?!
Yan Ruyu and the others had complicated expressions and were slightly shocked when they heard Yin Jiujin's introduction, especially after seeing Yin Jiujin's attitude towards Yan Jinyu.
There was North City and South City, but the Yan Family, the number one family in North City, could not compare to the number one family in South City.
This pretty girl with shoulder-length hair which was tied into a bun, was actually the daughter of the Huo Family in South City.
The Huo Family in South City was engaged to the Qin Family in the capital…
At the thought of this, Yan Jinyun's nervousness dissipated a little.
However, the eldest daughter of the Huo Family in South City was said to be Huo Sisi. Could this Huo Siyu… be the daughter the Huo Family found a year ago?
A legitimate daughter was different from an adopted daughter. The marriage contract between the Huo Family and the Qin Family should fall on her since Huo Siyu had returned to the Huo Family.
The eldest daughter of the Qin Family in the capital was the eldest young madam of the Yin Family, who was also Master Nine's sister-in-law. The relationship between the two families was not shallow. As the fiancée of the Qin Family's Young Master, it seemed like it was normal for Master Nine to treat her differently.
She could only hope that Young Master of the Qin Family had not taken a fancy to the adopted daughter of the Huo Family while that Huo Siyu fancied Young Master of the Qin Family.
It was really hard not to yearn for someone like Master Nine.
If Huo Siyu fell for Master Nine, Yan Jinyu would be in big trouble.
Yan Jinyun's thoughts were racing, but Yan Jinyu smiled and reached out to Huo Siyu. "Nice to meet you, Yan Jinyu."
Huo Siyu raised her eyebrows and held her hand. "Nice to meet you, Huo Siyu."
"You're so beautiful, and there's the word 'Yu' in your name. Shall I call you Beauty Yu in the future?" Since she didn't have to create an opportunity to get to know Beauty Yu, she didn't object to Qin Hao's suggestion to let her come to North City with Yin Jiujin.
Seeing that everyone, including Yin Jiujin, was looking at her, Huo Siyu coughed dryly and continued, "I'm actually a beauty lover. I like your looks very much and want to be friends with you. I feel that this address sounds more intimate. I'll call you that in the future, okay?"
These words seemed to be directed at Yan Jinyu, but they were actually meant for the people around them to hear.
There was a hint of helplessness in Yan Jinyu's smiling eyes, "It's just a form of address. Anything is fine."
Speaking of which, she did not know how the term "Beauty Yu" was coined by Xiaoyu and Meimei. It seemed to happen when Meimei had jokingly called her out, and Xiaoyu had echoed her at a gathering a few years ago. Ever since then, the two of them had always called her that.
"So you're willing to be my friend?"
Huo Siyu was so enthusiastic that even Yin Jiujin was surprised, let alone Yan Jinyun and the rest.
This was not the first time he had seen Miss Huo. When the Huo Family brought her back, they had organized a banquet and introduced her to everyone. He had been there at the Huo Family's banquet.
Even though he did not pay much attention to an unimportant person like Huo Siyu, he had sharp senses and could tell with one look that Huo Siyu was not someone who would be warm to others.
She didn't even seem to be very close to the Huo Family, but she was so friendly to the girl.
As he thought about it, Yin Jiujin's gaze landed on Huo Siyu before turning to Yan Jinyu.
Both Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu naturally sensed his gaze.
Huo Siyu was a little nervous. It wasn't that she was afraid of Yin Jiujin, but she was worried that Yin Jiujin would notice something and ruin Beauty Yu's plans.
Beauty Yu had returned to North City… or rather, she had come to Yin Jiujin's side to investigate how Bai Ye, who she owed a favor to, had died. If possible, Beauty Yu might even avenge Bai Ye.
However, that was not the entire reason why she was nervous.
From her point of view, Beauty Yu treated Yin Jiujin differently. She had also heard from Sister Fengling that Beauty Yu had once told her and Brother Feng that she would stay by Yin Jiujin's side to protect him in the future and use him as her reason to live.
Although Beauty Yu and Yin Jiujin were close now, it was far from enough.
Indeed, it was impossible for Beauty Yu's identity to be hidden from Yin Jiujin forever. However, it was not the time to expose her identity yet.
This person was Yin Jiujin. He had an excellent mind. She shouldn't have shown her familiarity with Beauty Yu so quickly in front of him. However, if she didn't show her attitude towards Beauty Yu, with her relationship with Beauty Yu, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't reveal her flaws. Even though she and Beauty Yu were very rational, there was no guarantee that it wouldn't be the case.
Rather than making Yin Jiujin even more suspicious, it was better to be outfront from the beginning. Even if Yin Jiujin would be puzzled, he wouldn't think deeper.
Hence, after thinking about it, she felt that it was best to get along with Beauty Yu with the persona of a "beauty-lover". That was indeed what she demonstrated.
However, Yin Jiujin's gaze…
No matter what, it made her nervous.
Compared to Huo Siyu's nervousness, Yan Jinyu seemed very calm.
She didn't think as much as Huo Siyu. From her point of view, Yin Jiujin was already one of her people. Furthermore, she had already decided to be with Yin Jiujin forever. Hence, she had never thought of deliberately hiding anything from Yin Jiujin.
She didn't hide it deliberately, but it was not convenient for her to tell him now.
However, if Yin Jiujin had discovered it first, she wouldn't have concealed it.
Hence, Yan Jinyu's expression was very open when Yin Jiujin sized her up.
She ignored him and smiled at Huo Siyu. "Mm-hmm."
Seeing that she was not worried at all, Huo Siyu felt relieved. She smiled at Yan Jinyu, "Since we're friends, it's not appropriate for you to call me by my full name or Miss Huo. Why don't you call me Little Rain?"
When Yan Jinyun heard that, she stared at them with her eyes wide open.
Little Rain?
Wasn't that…
