The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned - Chapter 103

Chapter 103: How Thick-Skinned

“Cousin, please wait a moment. I’ll call her and ask her. If Yan Jinyun minds, I can’t do anything about it. After all, Yan Jinyun only invited her classmates. Everyone’s about the same age. Cousin… Sigh, I’m not saying that Cousin is old. It’s just that Cousin is a few years older than us and not familiar with our classmates. With you around, we won’t be able to play to our hearts’ content.”

Luo Yilin’s face darkened.

He smiled stiffly. “I’m only 20. I’m not much older than you.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t stay long. I’ll go and see where you have your event. I’ll leave once I’m sure it’s safe. You said it yourself. I’m older than you. I’ve naturally seen more than you. There are many things that you might miss out but I won’t.”

“…” Feng Yuan. How thick-skinned! You even decided to play along!

“Alright, Cousin, wait for me. I’ll call Yan Jinyun.”

He turned around with the phone in his hand and coughed dryly twice before dialing the number.

He sounded confident when he said that, but he was not confident at all when he made the call.

After all, he was the one who made up those words just now. Yan Jinyun didn’t even know that he had come to the Yan Corporation!

The call was connected.

Yan Jinyun didn’t waste any time. She answered his call and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Feng Yuan didn’t have the mood to argue with her anymore. He took a deep breath and finished his words in one go, “Yan Jinyun, what are you doing? You said that you found a few friends to go out and play, and at the same time, celebrate with you. I’ve already arrived at the Yan Corporation. Why aren’t you coming down yet? Didn’t you ask me to pick you up at six? Oh, right, I saw my cousin here at the Yan Corporation. He asked me to ask you if you mind bringing him along for our gathering?”

Yan Jinyun was stunned by Feng Yuan’s shout and wanted to scold him back out of habit. However, Feng Yuan kept talking, and she couldn’t find a chance to interrupt.

Hence, she finished listening to Feng Yuan.

With her intelligence, how could she not understand why Feng Yuan said these words?

“On speaker?”

Feng Yuan understood what Yan Jinyun meant. She was asking if he had put the call on speaker.

He turned back to look at Luo Yilin and said, “No.” He simply smiled at Luo Yilin, who was staring at him. “It has nothing to do with Cousin. Yan Jinyun asked me if Jinyu was around, but I said no.”

“You want me to call Jinyu along?”

“I’ll get a few people to find a private room at the clubhouse later. I’ll be downstairs in a few minutes. Since he wants to follow, just let him follow.” The conversation was completely incongruous.

But both of them understood what the other party meant.

Yan Jinyun knew Feng Yuan very well. He wouldn’t have suddenly said such nonsense to her if it wasn’t something that he couldn’t handle.

She had clearly rejected Luo Yilin’s invitation, but Luo Yilin still appeared at the Yan Corporation’s building. She was not stupid. She could figure it out immediately.

Luo Yilin would definitely bump into her if he really waited for her downstairs. At that time, she couldn’t say anything to reject Luo Yilin if she wanted to maintain a superficial friendly relationship with the Luo Family for the Yan Family.

Yan Jinyun suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Feng Yuan was here.

As for why Feng Yuan was here, she did not want to investigate further now.

Not long after the shareholders’ meeting ended, when the Yan Corporation’s news was all over the place, she received the news that the Feng Family had contributed a lot to guide the public’s opinion.

Regardless of whether the Feng Family was protecting the Yan Corporation because of their grandparents and couldn’t bear to see anything happen to the Yan Corporation, or because of Yan Jinyu, or… Feng Yuan did all these for her,

she had accepted the Feng Family’s kind intentions.

They continued their incongruous conversation.

“Alright, I won’t call her then. Come downstairs quickly. I said I would pick you up at six. It’s six now!”

Yan Jinyun, “…Find a way to get him to talk. See what he wants to do. I’ll go down after I finish reading this document.” Although she understood what Feng Yuan meant, she couldn’t control her emotions when she heard him talking to her in such a provocative tone.

She wanted to explode!

However, she still tried her best to control it.

She would endure it for now and think about it later.

“Okay, I will.”

The call ended.

Feng Yuan put his phone back into his pocket, “Yan Jinyun will be down soon. She asked me to ask if you want to wait for her in the lobby on the first floor of the Yan Corporation? Oh, if you want to go, Cousin can go by himself. I won’t go. I’ll wait for her in the car.”

He turned around and opened the car door to get in as he spoke. However, he suddenly stopped and looked up at Luo Yilin while holding the car door. “Oh, I forgot to ask Cousin. Since you applied for leave because of Little Qiu, why don’t you stay at home and take good care of Little Qiu? Is Little Qiu better already?”

“But that’s not right. I just came out of the house not long ago. When I went out, my mother told me that Aunt called her and said that Little Qiu is still having a high fever.”

Feng Yuan continued, “Oh, I forgot. Cousin, your major in university is completely unrelated to medicine. Even if you’re at home, you won’t be able to help much. Why don’t you let the private doctor and aunt take good care of Little Qiu? But I still don’t understand. Cousin, since you’re not at home to take care of Little Qiu, who’s still having a high fever, why did you take leave and not go to class?”

Without waiting for Luo Yilin to reply, Feng Yuan smiled and got into his red sports car.

He didn’t care about Luo Yilin’s expression now.

His mother didn’t have a very close relationship with the Luo Family to begin with. Other than having a better relationship with Luo Qiu, who was in the same class as him, his relationship with the rest of the Luo Family was very ordinary.

As for Yan Jinyun wanting him to find out Luo Yilin’s intention…

Hmph! Even if he didn’t ask anything, he knew very well that Luo Yilin had taken a fancy to Yan Jinyun and wanted to find an opportunity to interact with her more.

Yan Jinyun wasn’t much, but in his opinion, Luo Yilin wasn’t worthy of Yan Jinyun at all!

It was all Feng Yuan’s fault. Luo Yilin had tried to speak but to no avail. He had to answer Feng Yuan’s question, but Feng Yuan had no intention of listening at all.

Luo Yilin’s expression became even worse.

Luo Yilin glanced at Feng Yuan, who was sitting in the sports car with a dark expression. He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He calmly retracted his gaze and stood leaning against his car.

There was no hurry. He would let Feng Yuan off for now. He would slowly deal with him after Yan Jinyun became his.

After a while, Yan Jinyun came downstairs.

Yan Jinyun was wearing a professional suit. She was wearing high heels and a small black tight dress, making her look even taller and slender. Her figure was also outlined.

Her legs were fair and straight.

Luo Yilin’s eyes lit up at first, then a hint of lust flashed past them.

Yan Jinyun didn’t notice the lust in his eyes. She just inexplicably didn’t like the way he looked at her.

Hiding her disgust, Yan Jinyun nodded slightly and greeted, “Young Master Luo.”

Young Master Luo…

It was that address again.

It made Luo Yilin very unhappy. However, Luo Yilin suppressed these bad emotions and forced a warm smile on his face. He pretended to be doting and said, “Yun’er, didn’t I tell you not to call me Young Master Luo? Just call me Brother Luo like before. Otherwise, we will seem very distant.”

“Young Master Luo must be joking. Although the Yan Family and the Luo Family are both in North City, we don’t have much business dealings, and we rarely interact with each other. So, to be honest, the relationship between our two families isn’t actually that deep. I was insensible in the past and neglected this point, which was why I addressed Young Master Luo as my elder brother. I won’t be so rude in the future.”

Luo Yilin’s expression gradually twisted, but he had to control it with all his might. He couldn’t ruin his image at this time, or all his efforts would be wasted.

“…Look at what Yun’er is saying. You’re regarding me as an outsider. Alright, I was so focused on talking that I forgot to congratulate Yun’er for becoming the youngest chairwoman of a multinational corporation in the history of North City.”

“Thank you.”

“Yun’er wants to play with her friends. Which venue did you book?”

“Years Like Flowing Water.” It was a clubhouse in North City that was about the same level as Elegant Bamboo. “I’ll take Feng Yuan’s car. If Young Master Luo isn’t busy, you can come over with us to play.”

“Of course I have time. Look, you rejected my invitation, but I still couldn’t help but want to look for you.”

Hearing this, Yan Jinyun looked at him deeply. She had rejected him with the excuse that she was too busy. In this situation, anyone with a brain would know that her previous rejection was an excuse, but Luo Yilin deliberately didn’t ask further.

Yan Jinyun was very curious about the reason, but she didn’t intend to ask further.

“Young Master Luo, you’re being too polite.” After saying that, she turned and walked towards Feng Yuan’s car.

When she got closer, she realized that Feng Yuan was staring at her in a daze.

His gaze landed on her, making Yan Jinyun feel uncomfortable for a moment. “W-Why are you looking at me like that?”

Perhaps she felt that her tone was not imposing enough, she hurriedly continued, “What are you looking at?! Haven’t you seen a beautiful girl before?”

“…” Feng Yuan. With this bad temper, she had wasted her barely passable face!

To think that he had thought she looked very charismatic in a professional suit after changing out of her gentle white dress. He had wanted to praise her…

Indeed, Yan Jinyun didn’t deserve his praise!

However, Yan Jinyun looked much better in this dress than she did in the white dress.

“Get in!”

Yan Jinyun glared at him before opening the car door and getting in.

“Beauty Yu, they seem to be going to the ‘Years Like Flowing Water’. Do you want to follow them?”

“Mm-hm.”
