The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Disregarding Others

Seeing Yan Jinyu looking at him with glowing eyes, Yin Jiujin raised his hand and flicked her forehead.

This was the first time he had seen the girl so interested in anything other than yogurt.

“I’ve never liked taking photos. It was the same when I was young.”

“Oh.” Yan Jinyu raised her hand and rubbed her head that was hurting from his flick. She answered gloomily. It was obvious that she felt that it was a pity.

She blinked and looked at him in anticipation. “But Brother Nine, are there really no photos? Not even one?”

Yin Jiujin couldn’t stand her gaze. Who could bear to reject her gaze?

He looked away slightly. “No.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t suspect anything. Didn’t she have none as well?

Perhaps, there were some photos of her when she was two years old and still living in the Yan Family. However, after her grandparents passed away, no one treasured her photos. Now, there were probably no more photos of her left in the Yan Family.

“He’s lying to you,” Qin Jianjia said with a smile.

“Yu’er, don’t listen to his nonsense. Even if he doesn’t like to take photos, it’s impossible for him to not have one. Not to mention the Yin Family, even the Qin Family has a photo of Jin’er and Hao’er.”

“Oh, you probably don’t know Hao’er yet. Hao’er is my younger brother. Didn’t Rainy go to North City with Jin’er to meet you some time ago? Hao’er and Rainy have been engaged since they were young.”

Yan Jinyu smiled. “I know. He’s the young master of the Qin Family.”

Qin Jianjia was stunned for a moment before she chuckled, “You know?”

“Yes, I get along very well with Little Rain. I’ve heard her mention it before.”

Now, Qin Jianjia was surprised.

She had interacted with Huo Siyu a few times. To be honest, she was not an easy person to interact with. It was not that Huo Siyu’s personality was bad, but she could vaguely make people feel that she was unapproachable.

Usually, it was her who gave people the impression that she was easy to get along with but was actually hard to get close to. However, Huo Siyu was even worse than her.

It was hard to imagine that Huo Siyu would talk about her fiancé with others.

However, there was no need for Yan Jinyu to lie to her.

Moreover, she had indeed heard that after Huo Siyu arrived in North City, she seemed to be very close to Yan Jinyu.

Could it be that the two of them had led a wandering life for many years and felt that they were in the same boat?

As she thought about it, Qin Jianjia couldn’t help but look at Yan Jinyu more seriously.

No matter what the reason was, Yan Jinyu actually got along well with Huo Siyu, whom even she found difficult to get close to. This meant that Yan Jinyu should be quite good herself.

Actually, putting everything else aside, the first time she saw Yan Jinyu, she felt that she was a likable girl.

How should she put it? She probably felt that her smile was sincere and not fake.

Her smile was bright and her eyes were pure.

She did not seem to have so many roundabout thoughts, making people subconsciously lower their guard against her.

In their circle, it was rare to see such a girl who gave people such good feelings at first sight.

Take her half-sister, Qin Bailu, for example.

She looked like a kind person who knew how to speak, had good manners, and maintain her status as the Second Missy of the Qin Family. However, she knew exactly what Qin Bailu was thinking.

It was laughable that Qin Bailu naively thought that she was stupid and could not tell anything.

Last time, Qin Bailu specially called her because she wanted a legitimate reason to meet Jin’er.

Did she really think that she couldn’t tell? She even “foolishly” asked Grandma Wu to prepare two of Jin’er’s favorite dishes for her to deliver to North City.

Naive. She did it on purpose.

Because she knew Jin’er’s temper. Not to mention Qin Bailu wasn’t a good person, just the fact that Qin Bailu’s mother had flaunted her power in the Qin Family and caused her and Hao’er to be ignored, it was impossible for Jin’er to have a good attitude towards Qin Bailu. Even if she had a legitimate reason to meet Jin’er, Qin Bailu would definitely not be able to get any benefits.

Qin Bailu wanted to use her name to get close to Jin’er. Alright, she would fulfill her wish! As for whether Qin Bailu could endure the consequences of infuriating Jin’er, it was none of her business.

Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu got along well. If it wasn’t because they pitied each other, perhaps Huo Siyu was like her and felt that Yan Jinyu was likable at first glance.

“I see. The two of you are about the same age. You should have a lot of common topics to talk about. You can contact each other more often. Of course, you can also go to the capital to look for Rainy to play.” As she spoke the second half of the sentence, Qin Jianjia looked at Yin Jiujin.

“The topic has been pulled away. Let’s talk about Jin’er’s childhood photos. Don’t believe Jin’er. I saw Jin’er in Yin Yuhan’s childhood photo album. Jin’er was so much cuter back then.”

“Don’t you want to take a look?”

She naturally wanted to, but she was on Yin Jiujin’s side. Since Yin Jiujin seemed to have a barrier with the Yin Family, she naturally wouldn’t undermine him at this time.

Anyway, she would get to see Yin Jiujin’s childhood photos sooner or later.

Even if she didn’t have the chance to see it, she would create her own opportunity.

Yan Jinyu smiled. “I do, but I’m not in a hurry. It won’t be too late to visit you all when I go to the capital with Brother Nine in the future.”

She had a bright smile on her face, and no one could tell what she was thinking.

At least, that was what Yin Wuzhan and Yin Yuhan felt.

However, Qin Jianjia and Min Qinglan didn’t think too much about it.

They only felt that although Yan Jinyu was a little interested in looking at Yin Jiujin’s photos when he was young, she didn’t seem to be very enthusiastic about it.

Towards this, Qin Jianjia simply smiled.

Min Qinglan’s face darkened.

Her impression of Yan Jinyu had worsened.

Yin Jiujin glanced at them and then said to Yan Jinyu, “Let’s eat.”

Without mentioning anything else, he was actually in a very good mood today. The young lady had slipped into his room and even gave him a ring. Uh, she was even prepared to give herself to him.

This was the best birthday present he had received in all these years. Although they didn’t go all the way, he couldn’t deny his good mood.

After all, the two of them had everything except the last step.

He didn’t want to affect his good mood today because of someone else.

Moreover, the girl was still growing and he had already caused her to miss breakfast. She should be hungry already. Now, nothing was more important than letting the girl eat.

Yan Jinyu smiled at Yin Jiujin. “Alright.” She could roughly guess what he was thinking.

Since he was still concerned about her, it meant that his emotions were not affected much by the appearance of the Yin Family.

She was relieved.

And she was indeed a little hungry.

The meal was very quiet, but the Yin Family members at the dining table were not calm at all.

No, not being calm was not enough to describe their current feelings.

It should be called shock.

As they sat down at the dining table and started to pick up their chopsticks, they saw Yin Jiujin picking up food for Yan Jinyu. He didn’t just pick up food once, but he kept picking up food for her.

It could be said that Yan Jinyu had never picked up any food herself throughout the meal.

That wasn’t all. They even saw Yin Jiujin taking a tissue and gently wiping Yan Jinyu’s lips when her food touched the corner of her lips. At that moment, there was still a doting smile in his eyes.

Although it was not obvious, it was undoubtedly a smile.

They had almost forgotten how many years it had been since they saw Yin Jiujin smile, let alone smile so dotingly.

Besides that, Yin Jiujin’s temperament had always been indifferent and cold, and he was completely unfathomable. Before this, they utterly didn’t expect him to have a gentle and patient side.

Moreover, not only was Yan Jinyu not surprised, she even looked very natural. It must have been a long time since the two of them interacted like this.

How could they not be shocked?

Qin Jianjia and Yin Yuhan looked at each other and saw the same shock in each other’s eyes. They tacitly suppressed that shock and didn’t say anything.

Yin Wuzhan didn’t show it on his face, but when he saw the smile in Yin Jiujin’s eyes, his eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

Fortunately, he had a calm and stable personality. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have been able to suppress his emotions.

After so many years…

Even Min Qinglan was silent.

However, her silence was only because she saw Yin Jiujin’s smile again after so many years. It didn’t mean that her attitude towards Yan Jinyu had improved.

On the contrary, seeing how Yin Jiujin doted on Yan Jinyu, she disliked Yan Jinyu even more.

After dinner, Yin Jiujin put down his chopsticks. As he took out a tissue and elegantly wiped his mouth, he asked Yan Jinyu, “Where do you want to go to play later?”

Yan Jinyu also put down her chopsticks and looked at him when she heard that, “Today is your birthday. Shouldn’t I be asking you this question? You’re the protagonist today.”

“Yes, I’m the protagonist today.” The corners of Yin Jiujin’s lips curled up slightly. “However, I’m usually busy with work. I don’t know where it’s fun. Why don’t you help me arrange it?”

The three people who were familiar with Yan Jinyu knew that she was very lazy. She was so lazy that she couldn’t even be bothered to pick out the dishes that she liked from a complicated menu. Sometimes, she was so lazy that she didn’t even want to think.

Yin Jiujin had really made things difficult for her by asking her to arrange their itinerary today.

However, since even such a lazy Yan Jinyu was willing to meticulously prepare a birthday gift for Yin Jiujin, after hearing Yin Jiujin’s question, she naturally had to use her brain to seriously plan it.

Hence, Yan Jinyu thought for a while and said, “Why don’t we not go anywhere and stay in Mount Jing? It’s your birthday today. Shall I make a cake for you personally?”

Yin Jiujin’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

He stared at her exquisite and a little silly face and moved his fingers.

He resisted the urge to hug her and kiss her completely. “You know how to bake a cake?”

Yan Jinyu chuckled. “No.” She said it as a matter of course.

“But I can learn. I learn things very quickly. I’ve thought about it. This is my first birthday with Brother Nine after all. I have to make it more meaningful. Besides, we have guests at home. It’s not polite to leave the guests here and go out alone.”

“…” The four people who were completely ignored. So she still remembered them. They thought that they were being completely ignored!

However, guests?

Also, at home?

It seemed like this was her home and they were her guests!

Regarding Yan Jinyu’s words, Yin Wuzhan, Yin Yuhan and their wives only looked at her with complicated expressions in silence.

In comparison, Min Qinglan was not that calm.

“We’re all Jin’er’s family, and we’re Jin’er’s closest family members. When did we become guests?! Furthermore, even if you’re engaged to Jin’er, you’re not married yet. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to put on airs in Jin’er’s place and act like a host to Jin’er’s parents and siblings?”
