Chapter 169 - Barely Reasonable

"Of course."
"Little Yu, if you've heard something from someone, don't take it seriously. I, Yin Jiujin, am not the kind of person who is fickle-minded. Before I brought you back, I never even thought that the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with would appear."
"Before you, not to mention hugging another woman, no matter if it's a man or a woman, others can't easily get close to me. You should have heard of this." Or rather, she should have found out.
Even if he didn't ask or investigate, Yin Jiujin knew that Yan Jinyu had definitely investigated him before she returned to North City.
To a certain extent, they were the same kind of people.
If it were him, he wouldn't easily let someone who he didn't know nothing stay by him either.
"Brother Nine, why are you saying all this? The famous Master Nine, how can the word 'heard' be accurate when it comes to information related to you? Not to mention hearing about it, even if I investigate personally, I might not be able to find much."
The flustered Yin Jiujin frowned deeply. "Don't say that." He felt stifled and uncomfortable hearing that.
"Master Nine is used by others, not you."
Yan Jinyu couldn't be bothered to talk about the first time they met. She looked at him with her cold eyes, "Let me ask you one last time. Have you hugged any other woman before?"
"Brother Nine, I don't know how much you know about the number one killer, 'Chi', but I want to tell you now that 'Chi' isn't a patient person."
"It's an exception for me to ask a question a second time. I won't ask a third time. So, answer after you've thought it through."
Yin Jiujin could tell that she wasn't joking. He had a feeling that if his answer this time wasn't as she wished, he might lose her forever…
It was precisely because of this that he did not say "no" immediately.
Even though he was extremely sure of his answer.
"Don't worry. Let me think… I hugged my mother and grandmother when I was young. Does that count?"
When did the frightening Master Nine ever be so humble and… ridiculous?
If it wasn't Yan Jinyu sitting opposite him, the anger in her heart would have dissipated when she saw him like this.
Yan Jinyu had never been an indecisive person. Since she was so concerned about this matter, she naturally had to ask thoroughly.
After all, if she didn't resolve it now, this matter would be like a thorn stuck in her heart.
She glanced at him calmly.
"Let me think about it…"
In the end, Yin Jiujin held his breath and braced himself. "I really didn't. My memory has always been very good. Other than you and a woman who doesn't know what's good for her and threw herself into my arms, I…"
At this point, Yin Jiujin suddenly paused. When he saw Yan Jinyu's expression, he instantly understood. "You're talking about that disgusting woman?"
To be able to make a calm and noble person like Yin Jiujin use the word "disgusting" so many times, it seemed like she had really disgusted him.
"I heard that she cried in your arms?"
At the mention of this, Yin Jiujin's expression turned very ugly. If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have used the word "disgusting" on an unimportant person.
"Y-yes. That did happen…"
Seeing that Yan Jinyu no longer had any smile on her face, there was a hint of coldness in her indifferent eyes. Then, she placed her right hand on her left wrist. Yin Jiujin hurriedly said, "Girl, don't be anxious. Let me explain first."
The young lady was really silly when she was silly. The young lady was really seductive when she was flirting, and the young lady was really ruthless when she was ruthless.
He had lived for more than 20 years, and all his calm and self-control had been destroyed by her.
No one had ever forced him to this extent.
He had long realized that he had lost himself to her for the rest of his life.
"That day, I went to the Lingering Garden as usual to sit. I didn't expect her to be the one serving tea. I didn't take an unimportant person to heart. I just thought that she was like an ordinary server."
"After she poured the tea, I thought that she had already left and didn't care. I didn't expect her to sob softly. I was a little unhappy, but I didn't chase her out."
"Why didn't you chase her out?" Yan Jinyu saw that his expression seemed to have changed. It had a complicated look that she couldn't understand, and her heart softened as she asked.
"That day was her fiancé's death anniversary. I almost forgot about it if she didn't mention it."
"Her fiancé is your comrade who sacrificed himself on that mission?"
Yin Jiujin was surprised. "You… knew?"
If Yan Jinyu still couldn't tell that the person he cared about was actually that comrade, then she would be too stupid.
"I'm not sure, but I know a little. So, because she's your comrade's fiancée, you allowed her to fall into your arms because she was sad and crying?"
"Of course not!" Taking advantage of her softened attitude, Yin Jiujin hurriedly got up and sat beside her. He ignored her struggles and carried her to sit on his lap, trapping her tightly.
The more she struggled, the tighter he held her. Yan Jinyu simply gave up and said, "Put me down first."
"No." He leaned his chin on her shoulder. "Say what you want to say like this."
He could not control the panic in his heart if he was too far away from her.
"Let go of me."
Yin Jiujin rubbed his face against her neck gently. "Girl, can I just hug you and explain to you like this? I don't feel good thinking about the past."
Impressive. He even knew how to act coquettishly.
However, it was obvious that his move had worked on Yan Jinyu. Seeing him like this, Yan Jinyu's heart couldn't help but soften.
She would just treat it like sitting on the sofa.
Yan Jinyu said calmly, "Go ahead."
"I didn't expect her to suddenly throw herself into my arms as she cried. I was distracted by something else at that time and didn't pay attention…"
"Then why didn't you push her out after you reacted?"
"Didn't I say that I was distracted by something else? I've come so far and there are countless people who want to kill me. That day, someone had sneaked into the Lingering Garden."
"There seems to be quite a number of them."
Meeting her gaze, Yin Jiujin heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, his heart warmed. "Don't worry. A few people can't do anything to me."
Yan Jinyu snorted softly, "Who's worried about you?"
"If I push her out, I'll alert the enemy and that woman might die on the spot. It's fine if it's somewhere else, but that's the Lingering Garden. No matter if that woman dies or those people who want to kill me create a commotion in a panic, the Lingering Garden will be affected."
"That's not what I want to see."
"The Lingering Garden belongs to Grandmother."
Yan Jinyu was stunned. She didn't know that.
The largest Beijing opera garden in the capital actually belonged to Old Madam Yin.
"After Grandmother left, she transferred it to me."
"The Lingering Garden is Grandmother's favorite place when she was alive. It's also a property under my name. Naturally, I can't let its reputation be damaged."
"After the subordinates received my instructions to get rid of those people silently. I couldn't take it anymore and pushed that woman out."
"I really pushed her out. You have to believe me. At that time, she hit the table beside her. I heard that her back almost broke. She stayed in the hospital for a few days."
"…" Yan Jinyu.
"Even now, I still feel disgusted."
"After I went back that day, I took a bath for the entire night. The clothes I wore that day were burned by the servants." That was not a lie.
His lips landed beside her ear. "So, girl, stop scaring me for such an unimportant person, okay?"
"…Then why is she still in the Lingering Garden now?"
"She's the adopted daughter of the director. The director is an old employee of Grandmother's. Since he begged me, I naturally have to give him some face."
"Not because she's your comrade's fiancée?"
At the mention of that comrade, Yin Jiujin paused his kiss on her ear, and his eyes darkened. "No."
"Do you want to know what happened back then?"
Yan Jinyu turned her head and looked into his eyes.
"You don't want to talk about it." An affirmative tone.
"Since you don't want to talk about it, don't force yourself."
Yin Jiujin's heart trembled slightly as he looked at her. He simply raised her chin and kissed her.
She was always so understanding.
He really didn't want to talk about it. He didn't want to recall what happened back then.
This kiss was very light and quickly ended. Yin Jiujin didn't dare to go overboard, afraid that she would still be angry.
"Are you still angry?"
"I just want a reasonable explanation. Since I think this explanation is reasonable, I naturally won't pursue it."
"Then don't scare me like that again."
"So easily frightened? Did you inherit your mother's courage?"
Yin Jiujin's expression froze slightly as if he had thought of something. However, he quickly recovered. "Did she come to find trouble with you?"
"It couldn't be considered as looking for trouble. She just happened to bump into me when I'm in a bad mood and didn't get any benefits."
"Don't take it to heart with her. Other than being a little timid, she usually likes to poke her nose into other people's business and always uses her 'compatible family' standards to do things. She's not an evil person. If you don't want to bother with her, just ignore her."
"If she comes to look for you again, just tell me. I'll handle her."
"She probably wouldn't dare to look for me anymore."
Hearing her say that, Yin Jiujin roughly guessed it. After all, that person was so timid that she was even afraid of her biological son.
"That's good too."
He lowered his head and kissed her again. He glanced at the yogurt on the coffee table. "If you get angry again in the future, don't vent your anger on your body. If you drink too much yogurt, your body won't be able to take it."
"It's not that I don't want you to drink but don't drink so much of it."
"If you really can't control it, you can kiss me. Other than you, no one has touched my lips before. The situation of people overestimating themselves and pouncing over to touch me will definitely not happen. You won't be at a disadvantage. I know that you can actually control your emotions by kissing me."
"…" Yan Jinyu. He was indeed the sharp Master Nine. He could even notice that.
