Yan Jinyu took Yin Jiujin’s exclusive elevator and went straight to the top floor. She indeed didn’t see Yin Jiujin. She only saw one of his secretaries.
Zhou Xiao was sitting at her desk. The moment she saw Yan Jinyu, she stood up in surprise, “Miss Yu, why are you here? No, I mean, didn’t you go on a vacation?”
“I just came back.”
So, that was the reason.
Zhou Xiao was very happy to see Yan Jinyu.
They were in a terrible state when Miss Yu went on a vacation for the past few days. Master Nine worked overtime, and they had to work overtime too.
It was fine to work overtime. After all, they had been busy recently. However, they still had to endure the cold aura emanating from Master Nine when they worked overtime. They couldn’t take it anymore.
They missed the days when Miss Yu was around.
“Welcome back.”
Yan Jinyu chuckled, “Thank you.” She handed the handbag over. “This is a gift for you, Special Assistant Lin and Secretary Zhao Xin. Help me pass to them. You guys have worked hard recently.”
Zhou Xiao was surprised to see the gift box in the handbag. It was exquisitely packaged. There was a note on each box that showed whose gift it was.
It was obvious that she had prepared them meticulously.
She said in surprise, “You even brought us a gift?”
“I went to many places and bought them when I saw they are suitable for you guys.”
Of course, Zhou Xiao wouldn’t deny it. Miss Yu didn’t lack this bit of money. She brought gifts for them on the trip, so it would seem a little ungrateful if she rejected it.
She quickly took it. “Thank you, Miss Yu.”
“You’re welcome.”
“It’s like this, Miss Yu. Master Nine is still in the meeting room. Do you need me to go inform him?”
“There’s no need to. I’ll wait for him in the office.”
She had a bright smile and was very easy to talk to. She was not unreasonable at all.
Zhou Xiao thought to herself that such a girl was indeed the most suitable for their Master Nine. She knew that Master Nine was busy with work and she had just returned from a vacation. They had not seen each other for more than 20 days, but she actually didn’t make a fuss about seeing him. It was rare to see such a rational 18-year-old girl.
“Alright, what would you like to drink, Miss Yu? I’ll prepare it for you.”
“Water will do. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, Miss Yu.” After saying that, she thought of something and quickly added, “Oh right, Miss Yu, I heard from Special Assistant Lin that you’re the North City’s top science student for the college entrance examination. I didn’t have the time to congratulate you.”
“Congratulations!”
She thought to herself, She’s indeed someone Master Nine likes. She’s indeed extraordinary.
Not only was she beautiful and soft, but she was also so outstanding.
She liked this future lady boss even more now.
Yan Jinyu smiled. “Thank you.”
“Then go do your work. I will be fine.”
As she spoke, Yan Jinyu pushed the door open and entered Yin Jiujin’s office.
The office looked the same as it was more than 20 days ago. The bookshelf was still filled with the books she wanted to read, and the tablet computer that she was playing games with, was still on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Other than that, there were also many other things that belonged to her.
Even if she had not been here for more than 20 days, this place was filled with her traces.
Seeing this, Yan Jinyu was in a very good mood.
It was necessary to ask Yin Jiujin what was going on with Chu Yiran, but Chu Yiran wasn’t important enough to completely affect her mood.
Chu Yiran was not important enough.
Since she was in a good mood, she wouldn’t be playing games. She walked to the bookshelf and took a book before walking to the small guest sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window and sitting down.
She started reading.
***
Yin Jiujin came out of the meeting room. Zhou Xiao was busy and didn’t have the time to tell him that Yan Jinyu was here. Hence, he was stunned on the spot when he pushed open the office door and saw the person sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The girl was wearing a long pink dress, and her black hair fell to her waist.
From this angle, he could see her side profile.
There was a glass of water on the small round table. She sat in the armchair and focused on the book in her hand. A ray of sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, making her look unreal.
Then she looked away from the book and at him.
Her smile was very sweet, so sweet that it reached his heart.
At that moment, Yin Jiujin felt that all his fatigue from working overtime had dissipated, and his heart was filled to the brim.
Their eyes met.
She did not say anything, but it was warm and comforting.
After a while, Yin Jiujin walked into the office and closed the door.
His actions were neither rush nor slow. He looked elegant and indifferent.
In fact, he locked the door when he closed it.
He didn’t say anything, and Yan Jinyu didn’t say anything either. She just sat there and smiled at him without standing up.
Yin Jiujin walked towards her and trapped her between the small armchair and him without saying anything.
He pressed against the back of the sofa with both hands and lowered his head to kiss her.
The kiss was gentle, delicate, and urgent.
Yan Jinyu’s book had fallen to the ground and her hands were already slowly wrapped around his back.
The kiss lasted for a long time. It went from gentle at the beginning to a violent storm later.
After the kiss, Yan Jinyu was already carried to the resting room by Yin Jiujin.
She was trapped between him and the bed.
After the kiss, another kiss landed again.
It had only been 23 days since they last met, but Yin Jiujin felt like a long time had passed. Every cell in his body was screaming that he missed her.
There were a few moments in these few days that he almost couldn’t help but abandon his work to look for her.
He had only experienced a desperate longing for her in his whole life.
An hour later, Yin Jiujin let go of her.
He did not finish what he wanted to do.
He was afraid that he would not be able to stop once he started. This was his office.
Although he was not afraid of others’ gazes and his subordinates did not dare to gossip about him, he still did not want to do it here.
After helping her put on her dress, Yin Jiujin sat at the head of the bed and hugged her from behind. His chin was still leaning on her shoulder. “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t be back until tomorrow morning?”
“That’s a lie. I wanted to give you a surprise.” She turned back to look at him. “How is it? Did Brother Nine get a surprise?”
Yan Jinyu wanted to ask him about Chu Yiran, but the moment she saw him, she suddenly felt that there was no need to.
Although she still wanted to ask about Chu Yiran, it was no longer an interrogation.
“I’m very surprised. Extremely surprised.” As he spoke, he rubbed the side of her neck again. “We agreed on 20 days, but you only came back after 23 days. You left me at home.”
Yan Jinyu enjoyed his coquettish tone very much. She raised her hand and rubbed his hair. “Our schedule changed at the last minute. Plans can’t keep up with changes.”
“Have you missed me recently?”
He asked seriously, and Yan Jinyu chuckled. “You make it sound like we really haven’t seen each other for a long time. Don’t we have video calls every day? In the last few days, we even video call three times a day.”
“That’s different. Tell me, did you miss me?” The question was fierce.
Yan Jinyu held back her laughter. “Yes, I did.”
“Don’t smile. Be serious.”
Yan Jinyu became serious in a second. “Yes.”
Only then was Yin Jiujin satisfied. He held her face and kissed her for a while.
“Alright, let’s stop this. If you have something to do, go ahead. I’ll wait for you to go home together.”
Home…
It was not the first time he had heard her say that, but he was very touched every time she said it.
“I’m not busy. We can go back now.”
Looking at him lying through his teeth, Yan Jinyu rolled her eyes secretly. “Before you say this, please cover the dark circles under your eyes. Thank you.”
He had such heavy dark eye circles and yet he still said that he was not busy.
Yin Jiujin hugged her and didn’t let go. He even rubbed against her. “Little Yu’er, I want to go on a strike for a day.”
“…” Yan Jinyu. Fortunately, she was used to him ruining his persona in front of her. Otherwise, she would definitely be frightened when she suddenly saw him like this.
“Do you really want to go on strike?”
Yin Jiujin shook his head when she asked that.
If he really went on strike, he might not even be able to follow her to the Imperial Capital University after she got the admission notice. She would leave him alone in North City…
That kind of life was torture simply thinking about it.
Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, go get busy. At least, you have to finish your work for today. I’ll help you. This way, you can get off work early today.”
When Yin Jiujin heard that, he suddenly let go of her and looked at her with a faint smile. “Why should we get off work early? Does Little Yu’er want to…”
Yan Jinyu understood what he meant.
“…” She was a little speechless.
“I simply feel that you haven’t had a good rest for so many days. I just want you to get off work early and go back to rest. Don’t think too much.”
“I didn’t think of anything. Little Yu’er is clearly thinking too much.”
“…”
She rolled her eyes and got out of bed first. However, Yin Jiujin was still sitting on the bed. He looked up at her with gentleness in his eyes.
“Little Yu’er, are you really going to help me?”
“Yes, I’ll help you for the next few days.” He was only so busy because he was moving back to the capital earlier.
And the reason why he wanted to return to the capital early was because of her.
She was occasionally… Uh, not really occasionally.
Although she was very lazy sometimes, her heart would ache if he worked overtime every day when she idled around.
Yin Jiujin saw the heartache in her eyes.
“Little Yu’er feels sorry for me?”
“Yes, I feel sorry for you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Jiujin held her hand and gently pulled her forward. Yin Jiujin wrapped his arms around her waist.
“You have to keep feeling sorry for me.”
Yan Jinyu couldn’t help but smile when she saw him acting coy again. She raised her hand and rubbed his hair. “Mm-hm.”
After coming out of the resting room, Yin Jiujin, who had sat behind his desk to settle work again, had already recovered his calm and composed appearance.
Yan Jinyu, who was sitting on the sofa and reading documents, couldn’t help but lament when she saw him like this. Who would have thought that this man who was seriously busy with work had been hugging her and acting coyly not long ago?
The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
She lowered her head and continued to read the document.
The moment she lowered her head, Yin Jiujin looked up at her.
The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
They continued to work.
There was only the sound of documents flipping in the office. The atmosphere was extremely warm.
Yin Jiujin had indeed gotten off work early on this day.
He left the office with Yan Jinyu before five.
He even asked Lin Zimu to tell everyone in the CEO’s office that they didn’t have to work overtime today and everyone got off work on time. Everyone was so excited.
Yan Jinyu’s image in their hearts became even greater.
It was all because Miss Yu was here that they received such good treatment.
Knowing that Yan Jinyu’s luggage was at the front desk, Yin Jiujin personally went over to help her retrieve it.
Seeing Yin Jiujin, the two young ladies at the front desk were tense, afraid that something would go wrong. They thought to themselves that Master Nine’s aura was really strong. As soon as he appeared, their pressure doubled.
“Master Nine!”
Yin Jiujin nodded slightly. “Where’s Miss Yu’s luggage?”
The young lady at the front desk hurriedly said, “Here, here.”
Yin Jiujin took it personally. “Thank you.”
The young lady at the front desk was flattered. “It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”
Yan Jinyu also thanked her.
Actually, if it wasn’t for Yan Jinyu, who they thought was easy to get along with, the two young ladies at the front desk probably wouldn’t even be able to talk to Yin Jiujin.
Yan Jinyu thanked them. They were still very terrified, mainly because Yin Jiujin was beside them.
Their luggage was in the trunk. Just as they got into the car that returned to Mount Jing, Yin Jiujin asked Yan Jinyu, “Did you bring gifts for the people in my secretary’s office?”
His gaze was faint and his tone was a little resentful.
