Chapter 162: Problem With The Photos

Yan Jinyu, who was drinking the soup, sensed his gaze. Her body stiffened slightly, and she stuck out an eye from the soup to look at him.

There was a faint warning in her eyes.

She wanted him to remember their surroundings.

Yin Jiujin’s thoughts stirred when he suddenly saw her sticking half of her face out and glaring at him with a ferocious gaze. However, she didn’t look scary at all and his naughty thoughts suddenly dissipated.

He only felt that she was so cute.

He personally took the soup bowl that she had finished and handed it to Aunt Cheng.

He couldn’t help but pinch her face.

“Brother Nine, what are you doing?” Yan Jinyu glared at him accusingly. She grabbed his wrist and wanted to remove his hand.

“Don’t keep pinching my face. It’s going to get deformed by you.”

“It’s light.” Yin Jiujin meant that he didn’t use much strength.

“Do you think I don’t know if it’s light or not? You’re pinching my face. I am the one who is hurting.”

“Forget it. It’s your birthday today, so I won’t argue with you.” She slid her hand down and held his hand. “Let’s go for a walk.”

Yin Jiujin looked at his hand which was held by hers and turned his gaze to her face. He smiled. “Alright.”

He let her lead him out.

The sky had already turned cold. Even if the weather was good today, the sun was not scorching.

The two of them held hands and walked out of the villa towards the sea of flowers that was already past its peak.

In the house, Yin Yuhan and Qin Jianjia looked at each other as they watched the two of them walk away together.

“Shall we go for a walk too?” Yin Yuhan asked.

Qin Jianjia nodded and placed her hand in his outstretched palm.

Looking at the backs of the two people in front of her, Qin Jianjia said with a sigh, “It seems like Jin’er really cares about the Yan Family’s daughter. I’ve known Jin’er since I was young. Not to mention him later, even eight years ago, I didn’t see him look at anyone with such a gentle gaze.”

Yin Yuhan didn’t say anything, but he clearly agreed with Qin Jianjia’s words.

“By the way, are you angry with me for talking to Mom like that just now?”

Yin Yuhan shook his head. He naturally wouldn’t be angry since she was right. After all, even he was quite angry with his mother back then.

Looking at her, he said, “But don’t do this next time. We’re family after all. If things get too awkward, your life in the Yin Family won’t be easy either.”

Qin Jianjia smiled when she heard that, “Why? Are you still afraid that Mom will bully me?”

Yin Yuhan didn’t answer her directly. He only said, “Mom seems to have become more and more unreasonable in the recent years.”

Qin Jianjia saw the sadness in his eyes, but she didn’t expose him. “How can you say that about your mother? Alright, let’s not interfere in the matters of the elders. We just have to keep an eye on Mom and not let her anger Jin’er again.”

Yin Yuhan looked at her deeply and his expression softened. “Yes.”

Looking at the two people walking in the sea of flowers in front, her gaze stopped on Yan Jinyu. Qin Jianjia suddenly asked, “What do you think of the eldest daughter of the Yan Family?”

“I don’t comment on my sister-in-law.” This didn’t mean that Yin Yuhan didn’t value Yin Jiujin, his younger brother. Instead, it was because he gave Yin Jiujin enough respect.

He believed that Yin Jiujin had his own judgment, so he didn’t interfere in Yin Jiujin’s private matters.

Qin Jianjia fell silent. “You’re right. I won’t comment on it. Jin’er has had his own opinions since he was young. He also relied on himself to attain his current status. How can he be easily bewitched? Since he isn’t bewitched, it means that he really has feelings for the Yan Family’s daughter.”

“With Jin’er’s outlook, the girl he likes shouldn’t be too bad.”

“I just didn’t expect the real Yan Jinyu to be like this. It’s a little different from the rumors. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just based on her bearing and courage when facing the few of us, she doesn’t show any fear at all. She’s not like a little girl who grew up in a rural orphanage and dropped out of school early to work.”

Yin Yuhan also looked up at Yan Jinyu’s back view in front of him. His gaze paused slightly, “Not many rumors are trustworthy.”

Qin Jianjia sighed. “That’s true. Rumors can’t be easily believed. Perhaps it’s because of her background. Be it her bearing or courage, they’re all hidden in her bones.”

“And I can tell that she treats Jin’er very well. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but for a moment, I actually feel that she dotes on Jin’er very much. Just now, she was so protective of Jin’er. For Jin’er, she even didn’t hesitate to offend her future mother-in-law.”

As she spoke, Qin Jianjia couldn’t help but chuckle. “I should be thinking too much. Even if she’s a little different from the rumors, she’s only an 18-year-old girl in the end. In terms of experience, she’s countless times more innocent than Jin’er. She looks so innocent and carefree like a child who hasn’t grown up and doesn’t know the evil intentions of others. How could she possibly dote on Jin’er?”

“Even if she treats Jin’er differently, she should still rely on Jin’er.”

Doted?

She wasn’t the only one to sense that. He sensed it too.

Yin Yuhan thought.

However, it was really impossible for an ordinary girl to dote on Jin’er.

The famous “Master Nine” could scare a group of people just by mentioning his name. Jin’er had such an imposing presence and a powerful aura. Yan Jinyu was already considered bold if she didn’t show fear in front of him. How would she dare to overestimate herself and “pamper” Jin’er?

If that was true, there were only two possibilities.

Firstly, Yan Jinyu was so innocent that she didn’t know what the words “Yin Jiujin” meant.

Secondly, Yan Jinyu was extremely capable and could even match Jin’er.

That possibility was almost zero.

Yan Jinyu didn’t look like someone who was stupid enough to overestimate herself and “dote” on anyone, so…

“Perhaps, she’s just more protective of the people she cares about.”

As he spoke, Yin Yuhan sighed softly. “That’s good too.”

“Yes, that’s good too. It’s just that Mom…” At this point, Qin Jianjia couldn’t help but frown.

This matter really couldn’t be ignored.

If they were careless, Jin’er would gradually drift away from the Yin Family.

“Don’t worry. Dad will watch over her.” After a pause, Yin Yuhan said, “Besides, Mom isn’t stupid to the point of getting out of hand. Unless she really doesn’t want Jin’er as her son.”

“That’s true, but I’m still worried…”

She wasn’t worried about Yan Jinyu, but Yin Jiujin.

Qin Jianjia really treated Yin Jiujin as her biological younger brother.

“Her family background cannot be changed. At least, she should make sure that Mom can’t find anything else to pick on her. I heard that the Second Miss of the Yan Family, who is also Yu’er’s twin sister, is in her third year of high school now. It seems like it was the winter break recently. North City is indeed much warmer than the capital. We’re still always wearing the big cotton-padded jackets in the capital. Unlike North City where it’s only slightly chilly and we can wear so little to go out in this season.”

“Back to the topic. Yu’er’s twin sister is in her third year of high school. If Yu’er goes to school normally, she should be in her third year now. Why don’t we get Jin’er to find her a school?”

“It’s not that we have to let her learn much. After all, Jin’er’s money is enough to support her for a few lifetimes. However, girls should enrich themselves more even if they don’t have their own careers in the future. Not only for themselves, but also to make others unable to find an excuse in this aspect.”

“It’s not that I have to let her learn much. After all, Jin’er’s money is enough to support her for a few lifetimes.

“Grandfather mentioned this before,” Yin Yuhan replied.

Qin Jianjia was stunned. She didn’t know that.

Yin Yuhan looked at her and explained, “Grandfather mentioned this to them the last time he came to North City. Yan Jinyu seems to be very against going to school.”

“Why? Is she worried that she can’t keep up?”

“So what if she can’t keep up? It’s not like we want her to get first place. There are many lousy students in school. Even if she goes to school, she might not be the worst.”

Qin Jianjia, who had been a top student since she was young, didn’t know much about hating school.

“If she’s worried that she can’t keep up, we can get her a few tutors. Otherwise, Jin’er can teach her himself. Or I can teach her. My grades were good when I was in school, and I’m too busy at work.”

“Don’t interfere. Do you think I don’t know if you’re busy with work? We’ve rearranged our travel schedule for a few times because you can’t get away from work. You’re even busier than me.”

This tone…

Although it was not obvious, it was indeed an accusation.

Qin Jianjia smiled apologetically, “Alright, then I won’t interfere anymore. About the trip… How about I arrange the itinerary and we go out to play for a few days? When will you be free?”

Yin Yuhan stopped in his tracks and stared at her. “I have annual leave. I can go anytime.”

Qin Jianjia smiled. “Alright, I’ll arrange it then.”

“However, you can persuade Yan Jinyu to go to school. You’re both girls, so it’ll be easier for you to talk to her.”

“I know.”

Forget it. Qin Jianjia sighed softly. “I really don’t understand. Why would anyone hate school? What’s so difficult about studying?”

The two people walking in front didn’t know what they were talking about.

“Brother Nine.” Yan Jinyu swung their hands that were entwined. She jumped forward and walked backwards to face Yin Jiujin.

“Yes?”

Yan Jinyu blinked her clear big eyes. “Do you really not have photos from your childhood? Not even one?”

She still had such an expectant expression on her face that it made his heart soften.

Yin Jiujin tightened his grip on her hand.

“No.”

Yan Jinyu stopped walking. She suddenly stopped and looked up at him with anticipation, “Really?”

Yin Jiujin stopped as well. The two of them stood very close. He lowered his eyes and looked at her. “Do you want to see it that much?”

Yan Jinyu nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, I want to see it. I really want to see it!”

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “So, Brother Nine, you actually do have photos of your childhood?”

“There’s always one or two…”
