The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 118: Sweet Medicine

It would suit him perfectly if she was going to be always by his side. As for her identity, what did it matter? Who dared to say anything?

Considering Yan Jinyu’s previous situation, Yin Jiujin’s kiss didn’t last too long.

After the kiss, Yan Jinyu’s pale face flushed a little. However, she was still a little weak after all. It was just a short kiss, but her breathing was still a little unstable.

After that, Yin Jiujin kissed her forehead and said softly, “Go to sleep. I’ll leave after you fall asleep.”

After Yan Jinyu fell asleep, Yin Jiujin tucked her in before leaving.

Yan Jinyu’s door was broken by him and couldn’t be closed anymore so Yin Jiujin simply didn’t close it. There were only the two of them in the villa anyway.

The next day.

Yin Jiujin thought that Yan Jinyu would sleep late after last night’s circumstances. After all, she had vomited so badly at that time. However, he didn’t expect to see Yan Jinyu, who had also changed into her workout clothes, when he woke up at six in the morning as usual and was about to go out for a run.

She smiled at him. “Morning, Brother Nine!”

“Morning.” Yin Jiujin walked towards her. “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

He touched her forehead. “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

Yan Jinyu shook her head, “No.” She smiled. “Brother Nine, don’t worry. I’ve told you before. I’m just like the people who drink alcohol. It’s fine as long as the drunk person wakes up.”

“Are you really fine?”

“I’m really fine! If you don’t believe me, let’s go downstairs. I’ll exchange a few moves with Brother Nine.”

“…” Yin Jiujin.

He flicked his finger at her forehead. “Why should I exchange moves with you? What if I accidentally hurt you? Since you’re fine, let’s go for a run together.” It was naturally best if she was fine.

Yan Jinyu blinked. Accidentally injure her?

She had said so many times that she was very formidable, but why didn’t he believe her?

Forget it. One day, he would witness her power with his own eyes.

The two of them went downstairs for a run.

Half an hour later, they returned.

She met Aunt Cheng, who walked out of the kitchen. “Miss Yu, I remember that there’s still a lot of yoghurt in the fridge…”

However, Yin Jiujin interrupted her with a mild gaze.

Aunt Cheng was stunned for a moment before she smiled as if nothing had happened, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Breakfast is ready. Miss Yu, do you want to go upstairs to change first or eat now?”

Didn’t Yan Jinyu see Yin Jiujin interrupting Aunt Cheng?

Of course, she did. She was just pretending not to see it.

Let’s not talk about last night.

She only needed to know that both she and Yin Jiujin cared more about each other after last night.

She smiled faintly and said, “Let’s eat later. I’ll go upstairs to take a shower and change my clothes first. Thank you, Aunt Cheng.” After taking two steps, she stopped in her tracks and her expression froze. “Aunt Cheng, what else is cooking in the kitchen?”

“Miss Yu’s nose is really sensitive. You can even smell it here. Second Young Master said that Miss Yu’s stomach is not good so he found a familiar Chinese medicine doctor and prescribed some medicine for Miss Yu. I’m brewing some medicine for Miss Yu in the kitchen. You can drink it after breakfast.”

Yan Jinyu looked at Yin Jiujin with a stiff expression. “Brother Nine, is what Aunt Cheng said true?”

Yin Jiujin’s expression remained unchanged. “Yes.”

In the next second, Yan Jinyu rushed over and bumped her head into him. Her head was clearly very small, but she actually caused Yin Jiujin to take two steps back from the collision. His heart even ached faintly.

She had an accusing look on her face, “Brother Nine, who are you lying to? Little Rain gave you this medicine, right? I knew it. Little Rain clearly said that she wanted to play in North City for a few more days. Why did she send me a message early in the morning saying that she was already at the airport and was about to board the plane back to the capital!”.

Yin Jiujin rubbed his chest, which was slightly hurting from her collision, and he raised his eyebrows indifferently.

Huo Siyu had returned to the capital?

That was a good thing.

“She cares about you too.”

Yan Jinyu fell silent. “Of course I know that, but Brother Nine, you don’t know that I’ve drunk a lot of those medicines. It’s useless.” Obviously, Yan Jinyu had already guessed that Yin Jiujin had found out about her situation from Huo Siyu.

She wasn’t too worried.

Firstly, she knew that Huo Siyu knew her limits. She knew what to say and what not to say.

Secondly, even if Huo Siyu really said something, it didn’t matter to Yan Jinyu. Anyway, she wasn’t worried that Yin Jiujin would discover her identity.

“…A few more days.”

“Brother Nine, that medicine is really useless. You have to trust me. Besides, Feng’s medicine tastes horrible. Can I not drink it?”

Feng…

The person who kept calling her last night?

So, he was also an expert in medicine.

He was not a careless person. Even if he knew that Huo Siyu and the young lady’s relationship was not ordinary, he would never just give the medicine that Huo Siyu sent to the young lady.

The people on Mount Jing were his trusted subordinates. He had many capable people under him, so he naturally had to have many people who were skilled in Chinese medicine. Although these medicines were sent to Mount Jing at dawn, they had already been seen by everyone on Mount Jing who knew Chinese medicine.

All of them was amazed by the wonders of this prescription.

Since they could understand the prescription, those people could naturally derive the illness that it was treating.

The situation described was similar to the young lady’s. It was a psychological trauma caused by her early years.

Those people said that this was the best prescription for such illnesses. If it were them, they would not have been able to prescribe such a prescription.

The people around the girl seemed to be very capable.

He didn’t know about the others. For example, how could Huo Siyu, who Qin Hao had set his sights on, be simple?

Yin Jiujin raised his hand and rubbed the top of Yan Jinyu’s head. “Be good. Don’t make me worry.”

At this moment, Yan Jinyu really saw a hint of worry in his obscure and dark eyes. “…T-then we’ll drink for three days? If it’s still useless after three days, we won’t drink it. How about that?”

“Brother Nine, you better not object. Otherwise, I won’t drink it for a day!”

Looking at her angry face, Yin Jiujin smiled with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. “Alright, let’s drink for three days first.”

The few of them who had read the prescription said that medicine alone might not be useful for psychological trauma. Most importantly, they had to get out of it themselves. Hence, Yin Jiujin had actually never thought of forcing Yan Jinyu to drink the medicine, especially after knowing that she had drunk it in the past and it wasn’t very effective.

He would accompany her as she slowly gets out of it.

Even though he still did not know what she had experienced.

Poor Yan Jinyu. She was still feeling smug because Yin Jiujin had compromised and made her only drink medicine for three days.

After breakfast, she pinched her nose and finished the bowl of medicine. Yan Jinyu looked at Yin Jiujin, who had been supervising her drinking the medicine the entire time, and a hint of cunningness flashed past her eyes. “Brother Nine!”

The next second, she pushed him onto the sofa and the smell of Chinese medicine filled his mouth.

After the surprise attack, she jumped away. Yan Jinyu chuckled, “Brother Nine, how is it? Didn’t I say that it’s very horrible?”

Yin Jiujin, who was lying on the sofa, looked at her with a dark gaze. He reached out and pulled her onto him again.

He pressed the back of her head down.

After the kiss, Yin Jiujin looked at Yan Jinyu, who was blushing slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “No. Everyone says that Chinese medicine is very bitter, but I think the medicine you’re drinking is sweet.”

Yan Jinyu stared at him blankly for a moment. Forget it, her face was bright red.

Yes, she was blushing!

If it wasn’t for the fact that her face was burning hot, Yan Jinyu wouldn’t have believed that she would actually blush.

She got up from Yin Jiujin in a fluster and stood by the sofa. “W-What are you talking about!”

Hearing his words, she actually felt that the medicine today was not bad at all. It was obviously very bitter, but she could vaguely feel the sweetness.

Most importantly, was Yin Jiujin flirting with her?!

Steady, cold, unfathomable, and dignified… These were all used to describe Yin Jiujin. He actually knew how to seduce people?!

Alright, he was so petty that he was even jealous of girls. In that case, it didn’t seem like there was anything wrong with him flirting with her.

However, as the number one killer, she actually blushed because of him…

It was too disgraceful for her as the number one killer!

If word got out, how could she face anyone?

After thinking about it, she smiled. “I also think that the medicine today seems to be sweet. I didn’t expect Brother Nine’s kiss to turn the bitter medicine sweet. Then, in the future, I’ll kiss Brother Nine like today after I finish drinking the medicine. In that case, the medicine might not be so bad anymore.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t realize that her smile made her look a little more seductive. Yin Jiujin’s eyes darkened.

He sat up on the sofa and leaned against it as he looked at her lazily.

He just looked on without doing much, but Yan Jinyu’s aura almost weakened again.

After a while, he said calmly, “That’s a good idea.”

Yan Jinyu’s eyelids twitched. She felt that she didn’t seem to have the upper hand.

Yin Jiujin’s gaze at this moment made her feel a little uncomfortable. She hurriedly changed the topic. “Brother Nine, aren’t you going to the company? Since you’ve agreed to hire me as your bodyguard, it’s my first day at work today. Shouldn’t we leave now?”

Yin Jiujin looked at her and then stood up to hold her hand. “Let’s go then.”

Yan Jinyu didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she kept feeling that whenever Yin Jiujin held her hand, his thumb would caress her palm.

It gave her a very strange feeling, making her almost instinctively shake his hand away.

However, she saw that his expression was serious and proper.

Hence, Yan Jinyu didn’t shake his hand off in the end.
