Chapter 238 - He's Hers
Yan Jinyu chuckled again and held his arm. "Alright, Brother Nine. Let's go eat first."
Yin Jiujin looked at her deeply before letting her pull him forward.
However, during the entire dinner, Yin Jiujin's gaze would always land on Yan Jinyu, who was looking at him with her chin propped up.
Every time he looked at her, Yan Jinyu would smile brightly at him.
Under such circumstances, how could Yin Jiujin sit still? He didn't even taste anything during dinner.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks without eating much.
"Brother Nine, you're not eating anymore?".
"I don't have much of an appetite eating alone."
"…But am I not accompanying you here?" said Yan Jinyu.
"…" He looked up at her calmly.
"?" Yan Jinyu didn't understand.
Yin Jiujin sighed inwardly. "Nothing. I just want to know quickly what your so-called compensation is."
She had just said that she would compensate him and she was staring at him the entire time…
Yan Jinyu blinked and smiled. "Then, what kind of compensation do you want, Brother Nine?"
"What do you think?"
Yan Jinyu grinned. "Brother Nine, I think you're thinking too much. The compensation I want to give you isn't what you think."
"…" Yin Jiujin.
The young lady was so bold that she even dared to tease him. Did he say what compensation he wanted?
He just didn't like her leaving him alone at home to answer someone's call.
He glanced at her faintly and then stood up to walk over. He bent down and picked her up by the waist before walking upstairs.
He did it in one go.
He kicked open the door and then kicked the door closed with a bang. He threw her onto the bed, "Little Yu'er, I think if I don't teach you a lesson, you'll climb onto my head."
Yan Jinyu smiled foolishly.
Yin Jiujin gritted his teeth at her carefree look. "Little girl, you knew I pampered you."
Yan Jinyu didn't comment.
Yes, she knew he pampered her.
"Brother Nine, go take a shower. I said I'll compensate you."
Yin Jiujin propped himself up slightly and stared at her. "You're still despising me?"
"What are you talking about? How am I despising you? We've all been outside for a whole day. After coming back, we went to the interrogation room. I want to wash up too."
Everyone had a little obsession with cleanliness.
"Let's go. I'll scrub your back."
Yin Jiujin's eyelids twitched. "Y-you want to go with me?"
"Yes, didn't I say that I wanted to compensate you? Scrubbing your back is my compensation. How am I going to scrub your back if we don't do it together?"
If it was compensation, so be it. Could she not say such words with such an innocent and harmless expression?
Yin Jiujin felt that his life was a little difficult.
Seeing that he wasn't saying anything, Yan Jinyu blinked. "How is it, Brother Nine? Is my compensation sincere?" Yin Jiujin was feeling conflicted, but he didn't see a sly smile flash past Yan Jinyu's clear eyes.
She did it on purpose.
After being together for so long, she knew that Yin Jiujin had many concerns and wouldn't really do anything to her.
How sharp was she? The two of them stayed together almost every day. How could she not notice?
This was her man, so she felt sorry for him.
There had to be a chance. Otherwise, with how well he treated her, their relationship would definitely not break through.
She was not an ignorant girl. Since she had already decided on him, it was him.
"Very sincere!" The sincerity that cost him his life!
Yin Jiujin gritted his teeth.
"Then, Brother Nine, go fill up the tub with hot water. I'll get my pajamas."
Yin Jiujin stared at her for a moment before finally getting up and walking to the bathroom.
Forget it. It was rare for the young lady to have the sincerity to scrub his back. He would just go along with her.
It was just a back rub. There were even some places where men and women share the same hot spring. It was nothing special.
Yan Jinyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Yin Jiujin walking towards the bathroom "stoically".
She went to the cloakroom to get two sets of pajamas.
She especially took some time.
Therefore, when she pushed open the slightly ajar door and walked into the bathroom, Yin Jiujin had already filled up the hot water and was sitting in the huge bathtub. He looked no different from usual with a calm expression.
It seemed like he had already adjusted his mentality.
Unfortunately, Yin Jiujin had underestimated Yan Jinyu's understanding of him recently.
If he had really adjusted his mentality and felt that it was fine, he wouldn't have entered the bathtub before she came. He was clearly avoiding her on purpose.
She did not expose him.
Yan Jinyu narrowed her eyes and smiled. "I'll put the pajamas away."
She put down the pajamas and walked to the other side, which was behind Yin Jiujin.
"Brother Nine, wait for a while."
Yin Jiujin didn't dare to turn back.
After a moment, the water rippled.
Yan Jinyu held a towel in her hand.
However, Yan Jinyu had still underestimated Yin Jiujin's care for her. After about 10 minutes, Yin Jiujin didn't move at all.
Yan Jinyu couldn't sit still anymore.
She had decided to completely take him down tonight and did not want to give up halfway.
"Brother Nine."
Hearing her call him "Brother Nine" sweetly, Yin Jiujin froze. "Huh?"
"Brother Nine, I think you're not right. Am I not attractive to you at all? I feel very defeated by you like this."
Yin Jiujin hugged her.
"Silly girl." How could she not be attractive? She was just too attractive.
"You won't regret it?"
"What's there to regret? Brother Nine, you're the person I've decided on. You can only be mine in this lifetime. Besides, since you're already the person I've decided on, my heart will ache for you too."
Yin Jiujin's heart softened.
This young lady always coaxed him nicely, but this trick was very useful to him.
***
In the capital, in the Min Family's mansion.
After Yu Chen sent Min Sisi to the Min Family, Min Sisi entered the Min Family right away.
"Eldest Missy, you're finally back. Eldest Young Master has been locking himself in his room since he came back last night. It's been an entire day, and he hasn't come out to eat either. We sent his food over, but Eldest Young Master didn't open the door either."
Min Sisi frowned deeply. Min Nan, this incompetent fool, was still in the mood to throw a tantrum now!
"Has my mother gone to take a look?"
"She did, but Young Master still doesn't want to see anyone. He doesn't even see Madam. Eldest Missy, do you want to take a look?"
"Where's my mother?"
"Young Master ignored her. Seeing that she couldn't persuade him and then heard some commotion in Young Master's room, Madam knew that Young Master was fine. She instructed the servants to prepare food in the kitchen and said that Young Master would come out to eat when he was hungry. She then returned to her room."
"Since my mother has already gone to visit, I won't go. Brother must have encountered something annoying and is throwing a tantrum. It's getting late. I'll visit him tomorrow."
The servant agreed weakly.
She sighed inwardly at how cold this family was.
Min Sisi's room was in the main building of the Min Family's mansion. She lived on the third floor, while Min Guili and Meng An's room was on the second floor.
Hence, when she went upstairs, she happened to meet Meng An, who had come out of her room.
"Sisi, you're back?"
Min Sisi nodded. "Yes."
"What did Bai Shuangshuang say to you?"
"As usual, there's nothing new. Mom doesn't have to care about her. Since she wants to plan for me, let her do it."
Her tone was cold and there was a hint of mockery.
She was completely different from Min Sisi in the eyes of outsiders.
"Yes, since she wants to pave the way for you so much, let her do it. If she does it well, it will be beneficial to us. If she doesn't, we won't lose anything either!"
"Alright, I'll go upstairs first. Mom, rest early too."
"Go on."
The two of them didn't mention Min Nan at all. It was obvious that it was not without reason that the servants would lament that this family was cold.
At this moment, Min Nan had already locked himself in his room for a day and a night and was in a sorry state.
Even so, he had yet to recover from the shock.
To Min Nan, Yan Jinyu's technique was no different from magic. Although he had locked himself in the room for so long and had already figured out that there was no such thing as magic in this world, it couldn't deny the fear he had for Yan Jinyu.
The curtains were drawn and the lights were not switched on. It was dark.
Min Nan was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. He was sitting on the floor in the corner of the room with a cigarette in his hand. The floor was covered with cigarette butts and the room was filled with a strong smell of smoke.
Min Rufeng had already gradually risen in power. Even if he was unwilling, he had to admit that Min Rufeng had indeed threatened his position as the heir of the Min Family.
He didn't expect that Min Rufeng had actually been pretending to be weak for the past three years!
If he had known that Min Rufeng was so capable and didn't only graduate from an ordinary university and wasn't very good in Chinese medicine like what they found out when he returned to the Min Family, he wouldn't have kept Min Rufeng alive until now!
Min Rufeng was already difficult to deal with alone, and he had Xi Fengling, whom many young masters in the capital didn't dare to offend.
Forget it. Now, even Yan Jinyu appeared!
Yan Jinyu was already so formidable. If Min Rufeng received Yan Jinyu's help, wouldn't Yin Jiujin also side with Min Rufeng?!
In that case, what else could he use to fight with Min Rufeng?
Min Rufeng was indeed born to be at odds with him.
His grandfather didn't like him when he was young, but he brought Min Rufeng, who was an illegitimate son, back to the Min Family and raised him under his care. At that time, everyone said that he, the legitimate young master of the Min Family, wasn't as favored as Min Rufeng and wasn't as outstanding as Min Rufeng. It was very likely that the heir of the Min Family was Min Rufeng and not him.
Later on, his mother took Min Rufeng away, but his grandfather tried his best to find Min Rufeng, so later on…
Now, Min Rufeng, who had disappeared for many years, was back.
It was fine that he was back, but he actually still had some ability.
Not only did he rock his status as the heir, he even snatched the woman he liked!
Unforgivable!
However, Min Rufeng had so many advantages now. What was he going to use to fight with Min Rufeng? Could it be that he wanted to repeat what happened back then?
Let Min Rufeng be like Grandfather…
At the thought of this, Min Nan's eyes suddenly darkened.
However, he could not make the decision himself. Perhaps, it was time to discuss it with his parents.
Otherwise, when the matter back then was exposed, he would really be no match for Min Rufeng.
***
It was a long night.
To a person like Yin Jiujin, he could endure it more than anyone else. However, once their relationship broke through, it would be uncontrollable.
The two sets of pajamas that Yan Jinyu took out were still at where she last put them.
Yin Jiujin hugged her from the middle of the night until dawn.
Neither of them woke up at six as usual.
Yan Jinyu woke up first.
The drawn curtains let in a faint light. It was obvious that the sky was already bright.
Yan Jinyu raised her arm and removed Yin Jiujin's arm that was hugging her.
She only felt that it was actually more tiring than any high-intensity training she had on Ghost Slaughter Island in the past. If she had known that Yin Jiujin would really be so "restless", she wouldn't have made such a fuss about him last night.
She was in a daze at the end last night.
She actually couldn't beat Yin Jiujin in terms of stamina.
This made her, the number one killer, feel very defeated.
She raised her wrist to look at the time. It was almost 11 o'clock.
She had an appointment with Little Rain at two in the afternoon. She had to get up.
She turned slightly to face Yin Jiujin.
He was still sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. Without his usual cold indifference, his face's advantage was obvious.
He really had a perfect face.
She would never get tired of his face.
Yan Jinyu couldn't help but place her hand on his handsome face.
Her fingers were slender and fair. They were very beautiful.
However, in Yan Jinyu's opinion, they weren't as good-looking as Yin Jiujin.
As she was sizing him up, the hand on his cheek was held.
Yin Jiujin didn't open his eyes immediately. Instead, he held her hand and pecked it before slowly opening his eyes.
He held her hand and asked softly, "You're awake?"
"Yeah."
"Little Yu'er, let's get engaged."
Yan Jinyu was stunned.
She moved back a little and blinked her big eyes at him. "Why are we suddenly getting engaged?"
Yin Jiujin raised his hand and gently placed it on her face. His eyes were gentle. "I didn't plan to do it so urgently, but…"
"I, Yin Jiujin, am not an irresponsible person. If it isn't for your age, we will be preparing for a wedding. Furthermore, we're already betrothed. An engagement is only a matter of time. It's not too sudden."
Yin Jiujin pulled her into his arms and said seriously and gently, "Little Yu'er, I can't give you a wedding for the time being but I must give you an engagement."
