Chapter 72 - Afraid To Look At Him



Chapter 72: Afraid To Look At Him

“Miss Yu, are you hungry? Have some fruit to fill your stomach first. I’ll go make lunch for you and Second Young Master now. We planted these fruits ourselves. They taste better than those bought outside.”

Yan Jinyu sat on the sofa and watched television while Yin Jiujin went to the study room upstairs. Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin followed after him. Yin Jiujin probably had something to tell them.

Auntie Cheng brought her some fruits at that moment.

A cartoon was playing on the television.

Of course, Yan Jinyu didn’t adjust the remote control herself. The moment she entered the room, Yin Jiujin told her to sit down and Aunt Cheng switched on the television for her.

For some reason, Auntie Cheng tuned her to a channel that was playing cartoons.

Yan Jinyu was very curious about Yin Jiujin’s residence and was looking around. Her attention wasn’t on the television at all. It was only when she saw Aunt Cheng walking over with fruits that she retracted her gaze and glanced at the television opposite her.

It gave Aunt Cheng the impression that she was watching television.

As she held the fruit, she sighed inwardly. Miss Yu was indeed still a child. She was so engrossed in watching cartoons.

She had suffered so much at such a young age. If Madam Yan and the Old Madam were still around, their hearts would ache terribly.

“Thank you, Auntie Cheng. There’s no hurry for lunch. It’s still early. I’m not hungry yet.” It was the truth. It wasn’t even noon yet.

Ever since she stepped into the small courtyard of the villa, Yan Jinyu realized that other than Yin Jiujin and Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin, who were following him, there were only Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng. There were no other servants. Hence, regardless of whether it was trimming the flowers in the courtyard or washing the vegetables and cooking, it was only the two of them.

Yan Jinyu could understand that Yin Jiujin definitely didn’t like others stepping into his private territory.

“You’re at the age where you’re still growing up. You’ll get hungry quickly. You don’t have to stand on ceremony with Aunt Cheng. Just tell me if you’re hungry.”

After saying that, she smiled dotingly. “Alright, eat your fruit first. Aunt Cheng is going to cook.”

Yan Jinyu’s eyes flickered when she saw her smile. Her hands, which were on her knees, clenched her skirt tightly. However, this change only lasted for a few seconds before she gave Aunt Cheng a huge smile. “Aunt Cheng, do you have yogurt here?”

She had always been a decisive person. Since she no longer had any expectations for her parents, she would not go back on her words. However, she could not help but be affected by the elders’ concern.

She could not help but despise herself.

Killers were always cold-blooded. As the number one killer, she was even more cold-blooded than ordinary killers. However, someone as cold-blooded as her was still affected by this useless thing.

Had she become indecisive after not killing for three years?

“Yogurt? Second Young Master usually stays here alone. He doesn’t have many guests and doesn’t drink this often, so I didn’t get someone to prepare it. If Miss Yu likes to drink yogurt, I’ll get someone to prepare it. When Miss Yu comes next time, you’ll definitely be able to drink it.”

“I see. Thank you, Auntie Cheng. If there’s no yogurt, do you have red wine?” She had to drink something to suppress her emotions.

This was her habit.

“I do have red wine. Second Young Master had a lot of it in the basement, but… Miss Yu, you’re still young and can’t drink. How about this, I’ll make you a glass of juice? The fruits picked in the manor are natural.”

“That’s fine. I’ll just drink some water and eat some fruit.”

“Alright, I’ll get you a glass of warm water.”

“Thank you, Auntie Cheng.”

Aunt Cheng turned around, and the smile on Yan Jinyu’s face faded slightly. She lowered her eyes and hid the emotions in them. After a long while, she raised her eyes and took a bite of the fruit on the tray on the coffee table.

The taste was really sweet, but it was far less effective than yogurt.

She finished one piece and stopped eating.

She took a sip of the warm water Aunt Cheng brought over and put it down.

“You don’t like it?”

She looked up and saw Yin Jiujin coming down from upstairs.

He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, looking cold and handsome.

As he spoke, he frowned slightly with concern in his eyes.

In that instant, for no reason, the frustration in Yan Jinyu’s heart dissipated.

At that time, Yan Jinyu thought that just based on looks, Yin Jiujin was enough to make countless women infatuated, not to mention that he had such great charm.

It was pleasing to the eye to just look at him.

No wonder someone came looking for her the moment she returned to North City.

She smiled and shook her head. “No, I’m worried that I won’t be able to eat after eating fruits.”

“Boss, we’ll get going first,” Lin Zimu said as he followed Yin Jiujin downstairs.

Yin Jiujin nodded. Lin Zimu and Cheng Lin nodded at Yan Jinyu in a friendly manner before walking out of the villa.

Yin Jiujin walked towards Yan Jinyu, but he didn’t sit down immediately. Instead, he stood by the sofa and looked at her before looking at the fruits on the coffee table. “It’s just a few pieces of fruit. you would have already digested them after Aunt Cheng finishes preparing lunch.”

He was thinking that the young lady ate very little. A few pieces of fruit were enough for her.

However, he had forgotten that he had eaten two meals with Yan Jinyu on the day he brought her back and Yan Jinyu wasn’t a small eater at both meals.

Although Yan Jinyu was slender, she actually ate a lot. The appetite of a socialite like Yan Jinyun could not be compared to hers at all.

“I don’t care. Aunt Cheng made a lot of delicious food. I want to reserve my stomach for lunch.”

It wasn’t Yin Jiujin’s fault for thinking that she was silly. It wasn’t Aunt Cheng’s fault for thinking that she was still a child who liked to watch cartoons. It was really hard for people not to think so when Yan Jinyu pouted and acted coquettishly now.

Yan Jinyu didn’t deliberately pretend in front of Yin Jiujin. Or rather, others felt that she was innocent and gullible. She didn’t deliberately pretend.

This was how she was.

She was the one who had restrained her killing intent and was too lazy to think. She had unintentionally revealed her true self.

Yin Jiujin’s gaze deepened as he stared at her pouty and coquettish face.

He wanted to pinch her face again.

However, Yin Jiujin ultimately held back. “Up to you.” He sat down beside her.

He happened to see the television playing “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf”‘ when he looked up. For a moment, Yin Jiujin’s lips twitched imperceptibly.

No one he had interacted with had ever watched such a television programme.

In other words, he had never seen anyone watch such a childish cartoon, whether it was elsewhere or in his own residence.

It was quite fresh.

She always talked about her fiancé but she was clearly still a young girl.

Yan Jinyu naturally didn’t know what Yin Jiujin was thinking about, nor did she pay attention to it. She picked up a cut apple from the tray and brought it to his mouth. “I just ate it. It’s very sweet. Brother Nine, do you want to try one too?”

Even the calm Yin Jiujin was stunned by her sudden actions. Then, he stared at her smiling eyes and subconsciously opened his mouth to bite it.

“Isn’t it very sweet?”

After chewing a few times, Yin Jiujin nodded, his gaze never leaving her face.

Yan Jinyu couldn’t understand the emotions in his dark eyes. Of course, she didn’t know if it was because she couldn’t understand or because she was lazy and couldn’t be bothered to think about it.

“I heard from Aunt Cheng that she planted the fruit herself. Before this, I never thought that Mount Jing would be like this.”

Without waiting for Yin Jiujin to reply, she continued, “Have another bite?”

Yin Jiujin suppressed the strange feeling he felt when he heard her say that she had never imagined that Mount Jing would be like this. He took another bite of the apple.

Then, he took the fork in her hand and put it back on the tray, but he did not let go of her wrist.

Yan Jinyu didn’t think much of it at first. She was about to ask him why he put the fork back when she suddenly met his deep black eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Yan Jinyu frowned slightly. This feeling… was a little nervous. However, it seemed to be different from the nervousness of worrying about her identity being discovered. Besides, she wasn’t worried about Yin Jiujin discovering her identity. It was impossible for her to be nervous because of that.

But why was she feeling that?

She instinctively wanted to retract her hand, but Yin Jiujin suddenly grabbed it tightly.

Suppressing the emotions she didn’t understand, she looked at Yin Jiujin and then at his wrist. She asked in puzzlement, “Brother Nine, why are you pulling me?”

Yin Jiujin’s eyes paused slightly, and he held her hand a little more gently. However, he still had no intention of letting go of her. “Open your palm. Let me see.”

“What are you looking at…” Yan Jinyu suddenly paused.

She recalled that when Yin Jiujin brought her back to North City two months ago, he had seen her hands full of calluses. Then, he immediately got Cheng Lin to send something to her.

Did he want to see the calluses on her hands?

Yan Jinyu lowered her eyes slightly and opened her hand. Yin Jiujin picked up her other hand as well. He held both of her hands and rubbed his thumbs on the calluses on her palms that had already faded quite a bit.

With every touch, Yan Jinyu’s heart skipped a beat. Her hand unconsciously trembled, and she didn’t dare to look up at him.

Didn’t dare…

Yan Jinyu’s heart skipped a beat when she thought of that.

Was there anything she, Yan Jinyu, didn’t dare to do?

She didn’t think so.

The word was so abrupt on her, but at this moment, she really did not dare to look at him!

Ridiculous!
