The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 422 - That Woman

Chapter 422: That Woman

Huo Siyu was furious.

After knowing that the pass to the underground auction that Qin Hao had received from her was taken away from his room by a woman, she could not suppress the anger in her heart.

She seemed to be changing the topic and not letting Beauty Yu focus on her calling “Nine”, but she was not pretending to be angry now.

On the way here, she even comforted herself that she was Qin Hao’s teammate. It was normal for Qin Hao to not guard against her when she worked under Qin Hao.

However, she could not calm down until she saw her.

Especially when that woman even said “so many years of relationship” as if she had something going on with Qin Hao!

“We’re not childhood friends. We’re just colleagues. I was indeed careless this time. I didn’t expect her to be so unruly and just take the pass from me,” Qin Hao tried his best to explain.

As he spoke, he stood up and sat beside Huo Siyu. He held her waist with one hand and pulled her towards him. He held her very tightly.

“Rainy, you know that I don’t have anyone else but you. She’s not an important person. You can’t get angry with me for an unimportant person. Isn’t that unfair to me?”

“Let go of me!”

However, Qin Hao refused to let go of her and tightened his grip. “No!”

“I was careless this time. That’s why she had the chance to get something from me. I promise there won’t be a next time.”

Even though he was wearing a mask, he exuded an honest feeling.

He looked completely different from his imposing presence and dangerous aura earlier.

Tan Shiyun blinked.

So they were the eldest son of the Qin Family in the capital and the daughter of the Huo Family in South City! No wonder they could recognize Jinyu even when she was wearing a mask.

However, she did not expect the two of them to interact like this in private.

She had also heard of the eldest son of the Qin Family. Moreover, she could clearly sense the frightening aura emanating from him outside just now.

However, he was completely an ordinary man coaxing his fiancée now. He was a little aggrieved, anxious, and honest.

This honest and straightforward person matched the outside world’s description of him.

“Hmph, don’t try to argue here. I heard her say with my own ears that you two have a relationship for so many years! How can it be fake?”

“I already said that we work together. I don’t have any personal ties with her.”

“Rainy, you have to believe me. You can’t treat me like this just because of an outsider. I’m also very aggrieved. I’m here on a mission. I was thinking about how to enter this place. You gave me the pass after knowing that I was coming here. I haven’t even used what you gave me before she took it. Now, you even got someone to destroy it.”

“To be honest, this is the first time you’ve given me something. I wanted to ask you for it as a keepsake after this matter is over.”

“What do you mean by this is my first time giving you something? Haven’t I given you enough?”

“How can the things you picked out with me be the same as the things that you gave me specially?”

“How is it different?”

Yan Jinyu looked at Huo Siyu and sighed inwardly.

Little Rain’s attention had obviously been completely diverted.

She said at the right time, “Young Master Qin, are you here on a mission?”

Qin Hao was still hugging Huo Siyu tightly. He looked up at Yan Jinyu when he heard that. He had his usual serious look. “You can say so. A mission target will appear here this time, so I took the pass from Rainy to investigate.”

“There are rules here. All the conflicts in the outside world have nothing to do with here. We can’t fight here,” Yan Jinyu said.

Hearing that, Qin Hao looked at her strangely.

Was she worried that he would implicate Rainy here, or was there another reason?

“I naturally know the rules. Eldest Miss Yan, don’t worry. Even if we want to fight, it will only happen after we leave here.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything else and looked at Huo Siyu, “Little Rain.”

She only called out and didn’t say anything. Huo Siyu instantly understood what she meant. “Beauty Yu, I unintentionally heard that Qin Hao had such a mission. I didn’t deliberately investigate them. Qin Hao’s missions are almost all secrets. I won’t casually investigate and cause trouble for myself. Don’t worry.”

“As for the passes, you also know about my relationship with Qin Hao. It’s fine if I didn’t know that he needed the pass, but since I knew, how could I not care? The pass isn’t anything special to begin with. Even without the pass, I could still enter here.”

“As for that woman just now, it’s the first time I’ve seen her. She doesn’t even know that I’m Huo Siyu. She thinks that I’m just a woman Qin Hao knows outside. You don’t have to worry. If we meet again, I won’t be bullied by her. It was because it was inconvenient to make a move here just now. Otherwise, I would have given her two slaps long ago.”

“Mm-hm.” Yan Jinyu nodded and didn’t ask further.

Huo Siyu heaved a sigh of relief and felt much better.

Beauty Yu rarely cared about her so openly.

She didn’t want her to find trouble with Qin Hao’s missions. After all, Qin Hao was a law enforcer. Even if Qin Hao wouldn’t do anything to her, it was hard to guarantee that others wouldn’t make an issue of it.

Beauty Yu couldn’t bear to see her endure being bullied either.

It was a reminder that even if she was the daughter of the Huo Family and Qin Hao’s fiancée, she could not tolerate other women bullying her because of Qin Hao.

She knew Beauty Yu’s intentions.

However, Qin Hao was a little unhappy when he heard Huo Siyu’s words.

His little fiancée obviously valued Eldest Miss Yan over him.

Moreover, Eldest Miss Yan didn’t say anything and she completely understood what she meant. This tacit understanding was really uncomfortable. She and he didn’t have such tacit understanding.

If she hadn’t said that she knew that he wanted the pass and emphasized their relationship, he probably wouldn’t have been able to sit still now.

“Eldest Miss Yan said that you have a question for me just now? Is it about Fox?”

He had called that woman “Fox” just now.

Yan Jinyu knew that these were their codenames when they were on a mission.

“I think Young Master Qin should know what I want to ask.”

Tan Shiyun quietly watched the show.

She felt that that woman’s aura was a little similar to the woman she met in the hotel earlier in the day. However, the one in the hotel had short hair, and the one earlier had long hair. She immediately denied the guess that they were the same person.

Just as she ruled out this guess, Huo Siyu and Qin Hao arrived.

Even if it wasn’t the woman from earlier in the day, she was still related to Jinyu.

She wasn’t stupid. That woman had a relationship with Young Master Qin, and Young Master Qin seemed to have a relationship with Master Nine for many years. Although she didn’t know how Young Master Qin and Master Nine’s relationship was, Jinyu cared so much about that woman calling him “Nine”.

Then, it was not difficult to guess who this “Nine” was.

“Her name is Chu Yiran. We’ve been comrades for many years. She joined the army two years later than Second Yin and has a very good relationship with Liu Junqing. When Liu Junqing was still around in the early years, she often interacted with me and Second Yin because of Liu Junqing. We’re considered familiar with each other.”

“After Liu Junqing got into trouble and Second Yin retired, we rarely interacted with each other. Later on, she was transferred to me and is now my subordinate.”

“I can’t say much about other stuff.”

“Did she call Yin Jiujin ‘Nine’?”

Qin Hao fell silent.

Yin Jiujin?

She had already said his full name, so was she really angry?

However, he could not tell anything from her face.

“Yes.”

“Was she the first one to use the name ‘Nine’?”

Qin Hao said decisively without thinking, “No.”

Second Yin would probably fight him to the death if he hesitated.

“Then who used it first?”

“I think it’s more appropriate for you to ask Second Yin this question.”

Yan Jinyu looked at him and smiled mysteriously.

She didn’t ask further and only said, “Young Master Qin has such a disobedient person under you. You have to watch her carefully. Don’t do anything irreversible or offend someone you shouldn’t have. It won’t be easy to clean up the mess.”

“I heard that Young Master Qin’s subordinates only listen to your orders and were personally chosen by you. Why would you suddenly have such a subordinate who acted on her own and even openly contradicted her superior?”

“Young Master Qin’s taste in picking people is not good, and your methods at controlling your subordinates are not good either!”

Under the mask, Qin Hao frowned slightly. He didn’t like to be criticized. He was a little unhappy with Yan Jinyu’s words.

However, he thought that with Yan Jinyu’s intelligence, it was impossible for her not to know that he would be unhappy if she said this. She still said it.

That meant she had her reasons.

Whether it was to stand up for Rainy or to remind him that he could not keep such a subordinate, she had good intentions.

The unhappiness slowly dissipated.

“Eldest Miss Yan is right. My methods are indeed not enough. This is my negligence. However, she wasn’t chosen by me personally. She was sent over.”

“With Young Master Qin’s status, even though she was sent over, if you don’t accept her, won’t the people who sent her over be helpless too?”

Qin Hao didn’t refute.

That was indeed the case.

He kept her because he thought that Chu Yiran was indeed capable and they did have some ties in the early years.

It had only been a year since Chu Yiran became his subordinate.

This was the first time they were on a mission together. He only knew that Chu Yiran was like this now. If he had known earlier, he would never have kept her under him.

Seeing that Qin Hao didn’t say anything, Huo Siyu forcefully removed his hand and sat on the other side of Yan Jinyu.

She was obviously serious.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have struggled free at all.

Qin Hao moved his lips and said, “She didn’t listen to orders this time and has already broken my rules. I’ll settle her when I go back.”

He seemed to be saying this to Yan Jinyu, but he was actually looking at Huo Siyu.

Huo Siyu still ignored him and looked at the auction hall below. “Beauty Yu, did you have anything to bid for today?”

“No.”

Huo Siyu looked at her in confusion. “Then why are you here?”

“Looking for someone.”

After saying that, she looked at Qin Hao. “It’s best if Young Master Qin keeps his word. Otherwise, you might get into big trouble if you keep that person around.”

Qin Hao frowned, but Yan Jinyu didn’t intend to say anything more.

He looked at the auction with Huo Siyu.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Yan Jinyu said calmly, “Come in.”
