Chapter 287 - Huo Xuan Flares Up
Yin Jiujin didn"t expect her to be so rough and was shocked. However, he quickly held her waist to prevent her from falling.
This kiss lasted for a long time. When it ended, the two of them did not separate. They hugged each other tightly.
Yin Jiujin buried his head in the crook of her neck and chuckled softly. "You"re so anxious?"
His tone was teasing.
Yan Jinyu didn"t feel embarra.s.sed either. She pushed him away slightly and the two of them looked at each other.
She still had one hand around his neck and the other on his beautiful face. "Brother Nine, I think you"re too attractive."
Yin Jiujin turned his head and kissed her palm with a smile in his eyes. "Can it be understood that you"re praising me?"
"I"m praising you. Fortunately, you look so attractive. Otherwise, I might not have accepted you so easily in the beginning."
"…" Yin Jiujin.
He pinched her face. "My little girl is obsessed with looks."
"This isn"t about obsessing with looks. I have a beautiful face. If you"re too ugly, won"t you feel inferior when you walk with me?" After saying that, Yan Jinyu blinked. Why did she feel that this sentence sounded a little familiar?
What a narcissistic little girl.
"Then I should be glad that I look good."
"Yes." She nodded seriously, making Yin Jiujin laugh. He held the back of her head and lowered his head to kiss her again.
This time, with Yin Jiujin taking the lead, the two of them kissed even more intensely.
Min Sisi left the banquet hall and walked over. From afar, she saw the two of them kissing.
Her handbag was almost twisted under her grip.
She didn"t expect such a cold and indifferent person like Master Nine to have such a pa.s.sionate moment! If she had known earlier, she would have tried to approach him.
It was because all those rumors about Master Nine hated getting close to women had misled her!
If she had taken action long ago and captured Yin Jiujin"s heart before Yan Jinyu returned, it would be none of Yan Jinyu"s business now.
As she watched this scene angrily, she saw a person standing not too far away.
The street lamp in the courtyard was not bright, but it was not dark either. It was enough to see the other party"s appearance and… expression.
That person also stared at the two people kissing for a while before turning to leave.
He looked dejected.
Min Sisi smiled. She seemed to have discovered something incredible.
This was interesting.
Min Sisi"s smile looked a little twisted because of her anger.
She looked at the two of them with jealousy and indignation before turning and walking in the direction that person had left.
Perhaps, she could use him.
"Young Master Huo, please wait." The person Min Sisi saw was Huo Xuan.
He had wanted to find a quiet place to calm down, but he did not expect to witness such a scene.
At that moment, he was stunned for a moment before turning to leave. He did not stay for long.
When Min Sisi chased over, Huo Xuan was holding a handkerchief to his lips and coughing softly under the streetlamp beside the tree.
From afar, he looked a little disheveled.
However, when he heard Min Sisi"s voice, that disheveled look suddenly disappeared.
Even though he was still coughing softly and his face was pale.
When he turned back to look at Min Sisi, Huo Xuan looked n.o.ble and sinister with an aggressive gaze.
"What"s the matter?"
Min Sisi couldn"t help but stop in her tracks. She was probably a little frightened by his aura.
She adjusted her gla.s.ses and smiled appropriately as she pulled her shawl tighter around her. "Nothing much. I just came out to take a breather. I happened to see Young Master Huo here, so I came over to greet you."
"Mm-hm."
Min Sisi was stunned. What did that mean?
Huo Xuan said, "Since we"ve already greeted each other, you can leave now."
His tone was flat, but there was strong disdain and impatience within it.
Min Sisi frowned, "What does Young Master Huo mean? Do you think I"m disturbing you?"
"If you know, why are you still asking?"
Min Sisi"s expression froze. He actually didn"t give her any face!
"It seems like Young Master Huo doesn"t like me very much."
"At least you have some self-awareness." Huo Xuan wasn"t a good person, nor was he a warm man who cared about women. He wouldn"t pay attention to his tone just because the other party was a woman. Otherwise, after all these years, the Huo Family had been the dominant family in South City. He was also the head of the Huo Family, so it was impossible for him to not have a woman by his side. It was also impossible for no woman to have designs on him openly.
Even the Huo Family rarely saw his gentle and easy-going side.
After all, even his parents rarely saw Huo Xuan"s smile before Huo Siyu returned to the Huo Family. Huo Xuan didn"t have any form of gentleness.
He was feeling complicated now. Or rather, he was feeling frustrated. Min Sisi happened to hit the nail on the head, so he naturally wouldn"t give her any good att.i.tude.
"Young Master Huo is really impolite. I thought that Young Master Huo seemed to be in a bad mood and came to care about you. Since Young Master Huo doesn"t appreciate my kindness, then forget it. I didn"t expect that Young Master Huo, the head of the Huo Family, would have a time when he couldn"t get what he wanted."
Huo Xuan put down his handkerchief and looked at her with a sinister gaze, "Can"t get what I want?"
"Not to mention that I don"t have anything to ask for, even if I do, what does it have to do with Eldest Miss Min? So, Eldest Miss Min, are you meddling in my matters?"
He sneered and his eyes were sharp. "I wonder when did any Tom, d.i.c.k, and Harry can interfere in my matters?"
Any Tom, d.i.c.k, or Harry…
Min Sisi was furious.
"Young Master Huo"s reaction is so big. Isn"t it because I poked you in the wound? I"m not trying to interfere in Young Master Huo"s matters. I just thought that Young Master Huo is a big shot who controls the entire Huo Family. Your status is not inferior to the head of the three top families in the capital. Since you have taken a fancy to someone and you have the ability to fight for her, there"s no need to hurt yourself…"
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Xuan dashed forward and grabbed Min Sisi"s neck.
He smiled with ruthlessness within his evilness. "Sowing discord? You want to use me to find trouble so that you can sit back and reap the benefits?"
"You"re quite bold."
Min Sisi didn"t expect Huo Xuan to attack directly so she wasn"t prepared at all.
Now that she was in the other party"s hands, she did not dare to resist because as long as the other party used force, she wouldn"t be able to breathe immediately.
"You"re the first person who dares to provoke and use me, Huo Xuan."
He let go and pushed her away. Min Sisi covered her neck and tried her best to breathe.
Huo Xuan took out his handkerchief to wipe his hand that was grabbing her neck and then threw it into the trash can beside her.
"This is the Min Family. I"m giving the other members of the Min Family face. I don"t want to kill anyone for now, so I"ll let you off. If there"s a next time, you"ll know the consequences."
"You even dare to use that little trick on me. Do you really think that I relied on luck to hold the power of the Huo Family before I was 20 years old?"
"Get lost."
Min Sisi had never suffered such humiliation before. Her eyes were furious. "Young Master Huo, very good! Good intentions are useless. I"ll remember today"s humiliation!"
Min Sisi left in a sorry state. Huo Xuan frowned and turned around to continue walking in frustration.
That"s right, he did have thoughts and he could not have her.
But so what?
Since when did others have the right to interfere in his matters?
It wasn"t entirely right to say that he couldn"t ask for her because he had never thought of asking for her at all. He, Huo Xuan, wasn"t that cra.s.s to ruin someone else"s marriage.
If he really wanted to fight, he might not lose to Yin Jiujin.
Just like in the business world, if he really fought with his heart, how could he be defeated every time?
However, it was really disgusting to be targeted and used.
So the daughter of the Min Family was such a person.
He thought that she was really someone without any ambition who was willing to help Min Rufeng expose the truth about the Min Family. He didn"t expect…
Tsk, another person who was thinking about Yin Jiujin.
Was Yin Jiujin that likable?
He had a sullen face and was cold all day. What was there to like about him?
On this side, Min Sisi left angrily and met someone at the corner.
It was Luo Yikun.
He looks like he"s been standing here for a while.
"Were you watching me almost die at Huo Xuan"s hands just now?!"
Luo Yikun crossed his arms and leaned lazily against the street lamp pillar at the side. When he heard that, he mocked, "Look at what Eldest Miss Min is saying. You sounded as if I"m your bodyguard."
"What does your life have to do with me?"
"However, I really didn"t expect Eldest Miss Min to be so naive as to provoke the eldest son of the Huo Family. Does Eldest Miss Min think that Huo Xuan is as silly as Qin Bailu and Yu Chen?"
"Before I met Eldest Miss Min, I thought you were such a formidable person. Now that I"ve met you, you"re just so-so."
"You—!"
"Look, you can"t hold it in anymore. Your self-control is even worse than mine." He sized her up and said with a hint of disdain, "I really don"t know what they see in you that they actually want me to help you. Fortunately, I only need to help you do three things and now there are only two left. Otherwise…"
"With a partner like you, I don"t know how badly I"ll be implicated."
"How dare you speak to me with such an att.i.tude!"
"Eldest Miss Min, don"t put on a high and mighty att.i.tude in front of me. I"m not your subordinate. Since I"ve met you here, I"ll kindly remind Eldest Miss Min to do everything within your means. Don"t covet someone who doesn"t belong to you and don"t naively go against someone you can"t beat at all."
"You saw it tonight. Those people are not to be trifled with. Don"t end up in trouble and drag us down too."
"Kun, what are you talking about!" A man in his seventies walked over.
"How could you talk to Missy like this?"
It was the Old Master of the Yu Family, Yu Quan.
After scolding Luo Yikun, he greeted Min Sisi respectfully, "Missy."
"Old Master Yu, you"re wrong. What do you mean by "how could you talk to Missy like this"? She"s your Missy, not mine."
"It was indeed Eldest Aunt and Master who saved me back then. In order to return Eldest Aunt"s favor, I"ll protect Qiu, and to return Master"s favor, I said that I would help Eldest Miss Min do three things. Oh, there are only two left now."
Yu Quan frowned and looked a little unhappy.
"She"s not your young mistress, but she is your junior sister. Since she"s your junior sister, shouldn"t you protect her?"
Luo Yikun chuckled. "Why should I protect my junior sister?"
"I didn"t even see her before I came to the capital this time. We don"t have any relations.h.i.+p as martial arts siblings at all. Of course, Old Master Yu, don"t say to me that we should take care of each other because we"re from the same school.. I"m a very cold-blooded person."
