With a clang, the dagger in Hei Yao’s hand swung out quickly and blocked the bullet.
It was obvious that the dagger in Hei Yao’s hand was also made of a special material, and his technique was actually faster than a bullet.
This was similar to Yan Jinyu’s ability to shatter bullets.
“I know you don’t want to kill me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be using a gun but your weapon. You chose to use a gun because it’s dark at night. You’re afraid that you’ll accidentally kill me if you don’t control it well, right?”
Hei Yao glanced at the wound on his right arm.
“You never miss when you want to kill someone. If you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t have missed just now.”
“Tsk, you really know how to flatter yourself. I’m just thinking that I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to kill someone. Besides, this is a place Meimei arranged for me. I don’t want to kill someone here on the first day I come to stay.”
“At the end of the day, you still can’t change your habit of being soft-hearted. Eldest Miss Yan, I’m only here to remind you not to hold back the next time we meet. You and I are enemies now.”
“By the way, don’t die at the hands of others next time we meet. I’m not the only one in Ghost Slaughter who survived and Ghost Slaughter’s power is more than what you see.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Yin Jiujin, whose expression couldn’t be seen clearly. His gaze landed on Yan Jinyu again. “It’s best if he’s not a weakness. Otherwise, it would be a huge taboo for killers if Eldest Miss Yan keeps a weakness by her side. It’s too stupid.”
“Then, I look forward to our next meeting.” After saying that, he jumped down the high wall and left.
Yan Jinyu retracted her hand that was holding the gun and her gaze narrowed.
Her emotions could not be seen clearly.
She stood rooted to the ground for a long time until she heard Yin Jiujin’s voice.
“Little Yu’er.”
Yan Jinyu paused and turned to walk towards him.
Yin Jiujin reached out his hand. Yan Jinyu placed her hand in his palm and walked up the stone stairs step by step.
Yin Jiujin took the revolver from her and placed it in his pocket before pulling her into his arms.
“Little Yu’er, I almost became your burden.” He leaned his chin on her shoulder and spoke softly as if he was acting coyly.
It was obvious that he wasn’t sober…
“…” Yan Jinyu.
The aura just now had frightened her but he was actually drunk.
“You’re not a burden. You even helped me scare away the enemy.”
“How was I the one who scared him away? You clearly did it yourself. Little Yu’er, I seem to be really drunk. My reaction was a little slow just now. Before I could react, you attacked. I didn’t even have the chance to attack. I clearly said that I would protect you.”
“Didn’t you always say that you weren’t drunk?”
Yin Jiujin fell silent.
“Alright, it doesn’t matter who makes a move. He can’t hurt me either.”
“He really can’t hurt you.” It wasn’t that he really couldn’t hurt her, but he didn’t want to.
Yin Jiujin’s tone was a little sullen when he said that.
After saying that, he fell silent again.
If she didn’t judge from the frequency of his breathing, Yan Jinyu would have thought that he was asleep.
“Brother Nine.”
“Yes?”
“Aren’t you going to ask me who that is?”
Yin Jiujin let go of her and placed his hand on her face. “You don’t really want to say it.”
Yan Jinyu was startled.
She stared at him blankly.
Yin Jiujin didn’t say anything. He smiled gently and raised her chin before kissing her.
After kissing for a while, he pulled her into the villa whose door was already opened with the passcode.
They went from the living room to the room on the second floor.
It was destined to be another sleepless night.
Not asking didn’t mean that Yin Jiujin didn’t care.
He was also half-drunk. Under such circumstances, human emotions were easily magnified.
He was jealous because he cared.
Yan Jinyu was “tortured” by him for the entire night.
***
The next day.
When Yan Jinyu woke up, the person beside her was already gone.
It was noon and the sky was already bright.
Only then did she see the layout of the room.
It was actually a pink princess room again!
“…” Yan Jinyu was speechless. She didn’t expect Meimei, who was such a glamorous beauty, to have a little princess in her heart.
In reality, Xi Fengling had prepared it for her.
After so many years, even though she knew that it was all an illusion, Xi Fengling still felt that Yan Jinyu was a soft and beautiful little girl and she should have lived like a little princess. Hence, she helped her decorate the room like this.
Yan Jinyu looked at the room and suddenly wanted to know what Yin Jiujin’s expression was when he woke up in the morning.
As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but laugh.
After a moment, she turned to look out of the window and suddenly stopped smiling.
She was reminded of the uninvited guest who appeared here last night.
There was a complicated look in Yan Jinyu’s eyes.
After a long while, she got out of bed and walked to the bathroom with the clean clothes that were placed at the head of the bed. She wanted to take a shower and change first.
As for this set of clothes, she didn’t have to guess to know that it was definitely prepared by Yin Jiujin.
Half an hour later, she came out after taking a shower, drying her hair and changing her clothes.
She left after tidying up the room.
She was about to go downstairs when she heard movement in the study.
She pushed open the door and saw Yin Jiujin sitting at the desk as if he was handling work.
Upon hearing the commotion, Yin Jiujin looked up at her from his laptop. “You’re awake?” He had returned to his normal self.
Other than the gentle gaze he used to look at her, he exuded a calm and stable aura.
Yan Jinyu sighed softly.
He felt completely different from Yin Jiujin, who had acted coquettishly last night.
However, the scene was still very pleasing to the eye.
There was air conditioning in the study, so Yin Jiujin didn’t wear too many clothes. He only wore a white shirt with two buttons undone.
Wasn’t this face coupled with such a slightly seductive posture simply pleasing to the eye?
“Yes, when did Brother Nine wake up? Why didn’t you wake me?”
“I saw that you’re sleeping well, I’ll let you sleep a while more.” He closed the computer and got up. “I’ve cooked porridge in the kitchen. Go down and eat something.”
He walked over and held her hand before walking downstairs.
“Porridge? Brother Nine, did you cook it?”
Yin Jiujin raised his eyebrows indifferently. “Who else do you think it was?”
“Brother Nine, you even know how to cook?” Yan Jinyu was indeed very surprised. She was skilled in all kinds of martial arts, but she didn’t know how to cook.
Cooking was a useless skill to her.
However, she knew how to barbecue and she was quite good at it. Surviving in the wild was totally not a problem for her.
As killers, they had to learn how to survive when they had not debuted in their early years. Cooking was useless and dispensable.
One fire and one wild game could completely resolve the problem of food.
Of course, there were also people who specially went to learn culinary skills to complete their missions. Both Xi Fengling and Huo Siyu had learned it before.
Yan Jinyu didn’t learn it because the missions she accepted were completely unrelated to it. She usually just finished the mission targets and left.
Fast, ruthless, and accurate.
She had never accepted a mission that required boiling a frog slowly.
“Are you so surprised that I can cook?”
“It’s quite unbelievable.”
“Who would have thought that the God of Slaughter in the business world, Master Nine, who instills fear in countless people with just his name, would be someone who can cook?”
He raised his hand and pinched her face. Yin Jiujin chuckled. “You have such a high opinion of me?”
Yan Jinyu slapped his hand away. “I’m simply telling the truth.”
“How does Little Yu’er feel with such an outstanding fiancé like me?”
“Very satisfied, hehe.”
Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but flick her forehead. “Silly.”
“Go sit over there. I’ll bring the porridge over.”
“Oh.” Yan Jinyu obediently walked to the dining table and sat down.
The two of them didn’t mention Hei Yao coming here last night, as if it had never happened.
Yin Jiujin filled two bowls of porridge and one bowl for each of them before sitting opposite Yan Jinyu.
The dining table was very small. It was only a table meant for six, so they were not far from each other.
“How does it taste?”
Yan Jinyu ate a spoonful of it. Then, her eyes lit up. She praised him generously, “Delicious. Brother Nine, so your culinary skills are so good.”
It was just ordinary porridge. The young lady’s reaction was like she was eating some exotic food.
However, it sounded very pleasant to him.
“Eat more if it’s delicious. There’s more in the kitchen. I’ll cook for you when I’m not busy in the future.”
Yan Jinyu nodded happily. “Great.”
She wasn’t naive enough to think that Yin Jiujin would personally cook every meal for her in the future. Just because she was living a leisure life didn’t mean that Yin Jiujin was also living a leisure life.
Ordinary office workers already had endless work to do. As the CEO of the Empire Group, Yin Jiujin wouldn’t have the time to cook.
If he wanted to cook, he had to specially make time or use the time for his rest to do it.
However, Yan Jinyu didn’t want him to take time out of work or use his rest time to cook.
She would be satisfied if she could eat it once or twice.
“Brother Nine, this is my first time staying here. I don’t think I have any food here. Your porridge…”
“The person who decorated this place was very meticulous. You have everything here. As for the porridge, I got Lin Zimu to buy the raw materials from the supermarket when I got him to send the clothes over.”
“Lin Zimu even brought a document over when he came. It’s on the coffee table in the living room. You can go take a look after lunch later. It’s something you instructed me to do.”
Yan Jinyu looked towards the living room and indeed saw a document bag on the coffee table.
It must be the information regarding the conflict between the Min Family and the Qin Family that she asked him to investigate.
“Yes, I’ll watch it later.”
“By the way, Brother Nine, what about Qin Bailu? How did you handle her?”
“She was detained at the Mount West Villa for a night. Lin Zimu sent her back to the Qin Family according to your instructions this morning.”
“Then what did they say to the public?”
“Sister-in-law pleads for mercy on her behalf.”
Yan Jinyu nodded. “That’s good.”
“What are your plans next?” Yin Jiujin asked about this.
“There’s no hurry. I’ll see what we’ve found out first. However, I don’t think I’ll do anything for the time being. I’ll just watch the show quietly.”
“Alright.” Yin Jiujin gave her an indulgent attitude.
As he drank the porridge, he looked around and asked, “Did you prepare this villa yourself?”
“No, Meimei prepared it. I’m actually not particular about where I stay. Usually, I stay in a hotel outside.”
She spoke casually, but Yin Jiujin could see a hint of sadness in her eyes.
It was not that she was poor, but she was unwilling to get a place to stay put. She would rather stay in a hotel. He could more or less guess what it meant.
“With me around in the future, I’ll accompany you even if you stay in the hotel.”
It wasn’t direct, but it hit Yan Jinyu’s heart.
She smiled and nodded heavily. “Alright.”
