The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Yin Jiujin’s eyes flashed. “No.”

“I’m hanging up.”

“Wait, Nine!”

Suddenly, Yin Jiujin’s eyes were filled with dread, and his grip on the phone couldn’t help but tighten. “Don’t call me that again.” Although his tone was flat, Qin Hao, who was on the other end of the line, could hear a hint of anger that he almost couldn’t suppress.

“Alright, Second Yin.”

“…Please call me by my full name,” said Yin Jiujin.

The anger dissipated before it could gather. Everyone said that Young Master Qin was honest and honest.

Tsk!

It was obvious that he was the most cunning one. He could easily control the emotions of others with a seemingly casual action or sentence.

Like now.

Qin Hao’s thoughts were also the most obscure. Even for him, Master Nine, who was known to be sinister, cunning, ruthless, and wise in the eyes of the world, could not see through Qin Hao.

“Alright, Yin Jiujin, let’s get back to the topic. Why are you suddenly concerned about Rainy? Don’t say that it’s just a casual question. You’re not such a free person.”.

“How much do you know?” He asked Qin Hao the same question. How much did he know about Huo Siyu?

Qin Hao naturally understood.

He could not help but think of the girl who had clearly been drugged with an extremely strong drug and was soaked in cold water. Even though she had bitten her lips and cut her palms with her nails, she still did not utter a word and tried her best to endure it. “She’s a very strong girl.”

“…” Yin Jiujin. He might as well not say a word.

“I’m hanging up.”

“Wait. Although I don’t know why you asked about Rainy, since you asked, you must have your reasons.”

“Regarding Rainy, other than seeing how strong she was with my own eyes, I actually don’t know much more than the others.” Qin Hao was referring to the fact that Huo Siyu had been living in Country F all these years after she went missing. Then, she returned to the country and was brought back to the Huo Family by Huo Xuan.

“However, you also know that you and I both came from the same place. My vigilance isn’t inferior to yours. In the time that I’ve spent with Rainy, I’ve realized that she’s very different from other girls. This is the only thing I can tell you.”

When Yin Jiujin heard that, he paused for a moment before scoffing, “You joined the army when you were nine years old. Even now, you’re still in the army. When have you interacted with girls? She is different from other girls? How many girls have you seen?”

“…” Qin Hao. It hurt a little.

However, it seemed like it had been a long time since Yin Jiujin had used such an insulting tone. Ever since…

Yin Jiujin became very quiet, and his temperament was very volatile.

Now, whatever the reason, it was a good sign.

Perhaps it was related to Yin Jiujin’s fiancée, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family.

He stayed in the army all year round, but he was still well-informed. Two months ago, he had heard that Yin Jiujin had personally gone to fetch the eldest daughter of the Yan Family back to North City. On the day he picked her up, he had personally accompanied her to shop and eat…

This might not be a big deal to others, but it was no small matter for Yin Jiujin.

Over these years, Yin Jiujin had been very indifferent, even to the Yin Family.

Sighing inwardly, Qin Hao said, “However, Second Yin, since you’re unwilling to say more, I won’t ask further. I just want to remind you that no matter what, I hope you don’t forget that Rainy is my fiancée.”

“Yes. Don’t worry, I’ll give you face.”

After a pause, Yin Jiujin said, “Also, please call me by my full name.”

***

As soon as the call ended, Qin Hao called Huo Siyu while walking to the bathroom.

At that moment, Huo Siyu was lying on the sofa in the living room of the small villa that Huo Xuan had gotten someone to prepare for her, with a facial mask on her face. When she heard the ringtone, she reached out to take her phone from the coffee table beside her. Without even looking at it, she picked up the call and pressed the speaker button. Then, she threw the phone back onto the coffee table. “Hello?”

“Rainy.”

Hearing the voice, Huo Siyu jumped up from the sofa. “It’s you, Qin Hao.” She was about to smile out of habit when she suddenly remembered that she was doing a facial mask. She quickly stopped herself. “Why are you calling me at this time?”

“Can’t I call you when there’s nothing on?”

“Of course not! Um, I thought you were usually still training at this time. I thought something happened when you suddenly called me.”

“Nothing. I simply wanted to give you a call.”

“…Oh.” He called her and even said that he simply wanted to call her. This kind of honest person was really straight forward. He said whatever he wanted to say. He was not tactful at all so it was embarrassing.

“You’ve always wanted to go to North City. Are you happy now that you’ve finally gotten your wish? Also, is North City different from what you expected? Did you encounter anything interesting?”

“Of course I’m happy!” She hadn’t seen Beauty Yu for a year, so she was naturally happy to see her now.

“North City isn’t that different from what I expected. Don’t all first-tier metropolises look similar?” It wasn’t her first time in North City, but they just didn’t know that.

Five years ago, she had come to North City with Brother Feng and Sister Feng Ling to investigate. Then, they had Elegant Bamboo.

“As for the interesting things, I went to attend Beauty Yu’s birthday party and caused a commotion in the Yan Family. After that, I accompanied Beauty Yu to Mount Jing to continue celebrating her birthday.” She added, “Oh, Beauty Yu is Second Young Master Yin’s fiancée, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City, Yan Jinyu. She went to the airport to fetch Second Young Master Yin yesterday and Second Young Master Yin introduced us to each other. I hit it off very well with her and can be considered as good friends.”

It was not a secret and he could find all these out easily. There was nothing she could not say.

Most importantly, it was less suspicious for her to bring it up herself.

“Second Yin—Second Young Master introduced you?”

Huo Siyu quickly sat up straight and took off the mask on her face. She looked serious, thinking that she had accidentally exposed herself. “Yes, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” He was just surprised and relieved.

There was finally someone that Yin Jiujin was willing to care about after so many years.

“What do you mean by causing trouble in the Yan Family?”

“Oh, it’s just that the Yan Family didn’t treat Beauty Yu well. I insulted Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya, who are Beauty Yu’s heartless parents, in front of all the Yan Family’s guests. I insulted them in public and made them lose all their faces. I’m furious when this matter is mentioned. Why are there such parents in this world? They’re both their children, but they’re treated so different… ly”

Before she could finish the word “differently”, Huo Siyu suddenly stopped.

She suddenly remembered that after the Qin Family’s Madam passed away, the head of the Qin Family married a new wife. The head of the Qin Family ignored the two children left behind by the previous wife after the new wife entered the family.

The head of the Qin Family was Qin Hao’s father, Qin Chongwen. Qin Hao was one of the two children left behind by Qin Chongwen’s late wife.

It was not without a good reason that the Eldest Young Master of the Qin Family decided to give up a good life to enter the army to suffer when he was nine years old. He had made a name for himself in the end.

“Sigh. Anyway, I embarrassed them in public. Then, I left the Yan Family with Beauty Yu and went to Second Young Master Yin’s Mount Jing to continue celebrating Beauty Yu’s birthday. Other than that, there doesn’t seem to be anything special for the time being. I just arrived in North City yesterday. I’ll be staying in North City for a few more days. I’ll tell you when something interesting happens.”

“Alright, I’m a little tired after playing for the entire day. I want to go upstairs to sleep. You’ve been training for the entire day, so you should shower and rest early too. It’s rare that you ended your training so early today. You should spend more time resting. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Bye.”

Qin Hao’s expression darkened when he saw the call being hung up.

He had ended his training early today to call her and ask her how she was doing in North City. He wanted to know if she was in a good mood after finally going to North City as she wished. It just so happened that Yin Jiujin had called.

He did not expect her to hang up on him so quickly.

She did not seem to realize that they were engaged. Or rather, she did not seem to care much about him, who was her fiancé.

Really…

He couldn’t boil the frog too slowly.

He looked honest and righteous as a persona for others to see. He should stop using this persona in front of her after using it for almost a year. Otherwise, she would probably keep this attitude towards him.

***

On the other hand, Yin Jiujin took out some documents to settle after hanging up.

About half an hour later, Aunt Cheng knocked on the door and told him that dinner was ready.

Yin Jiujin nodded. He put down the documents and got up to call Yan Jinyu.

Walking down the long corridor, Yin Jiujin came to Yan Jinyu’s room. As he was afraid to disturb Yan Jinyu, who was resting, Yin Jiujin specially lowered the strength he used to knock on the door.

He knocked only once.

No one answered.

The girl should be asleep.

Yin Jiujin pushed open the door and walked in.

On the pink bed with the pink drapes, a person could be seen lying on the bed.

Yin Jiujin paused for a moment before walking over lightly. He pushed away the drape that blocked his vision and walked to the bed.

He just stared at her.
