Chapter 535: Sweet And Tender
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“This is Yu Xiao, my aunt’s son. You should have seen him in North City before.”
He had seen him before, but Yin Jiujin actually didn’t have any impression of him.
However, he was no stranger to Yan Ruyu’s family. Knowing that Yan Ruyu’s family of three was returning to the country and had called Yan Jinyu, Yin Jiujin got someone to investigate them carefully.
He usually wouldn’t investigate much about the young lady’s relations.h.i.+ps, just like Hei Yao, who had a deep relations.h.i.+p with the young lady previously. He had been jealous so many times, but he had never thought of investigating how Hei Yao and his young lady interacted in the past.
However, the Yan Family’s members were an exception.
They were the young lady’s family after all. It was hard to guarantee that their att.i.tude towards the young lady would not affect her.
Just like him, the Yin Family’s members were also different to him.
Hence, he could only be at ease after investigating the Yan Family’s members.
The young lady might know that he was investigating, but she didn’t expose him, so he didn’t say anything.
Anyway, it was not a big deal.
Fortunately, Yan Ruyu’s family treated the young lady differently from her parents. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Yan Ruyu’s family return to the country successfully.
He nodded. “Yes, I’ve seen him before.”
He said to Yu Xiao, “Call me Brother-in-law.”
“…” Yu Xiao was a little stunned.
Did he hear wrongly?
Seeing that Yin Jiujin had stopped talking and seemed to frown slightly, Yu Xiao was frightened. He hurriedly probed, “B-Brother-in-law?”
Yin Jiujin nodded in satisfaction. “Yes.”
“Sit. Since you’re Little Yu’er’s cousin, just treat this as your own home. There’s no need to be reserved.”
Yu Xiao said, “…O-Okay.”
Yin Jiujin ignored him and rubbed Yan Jinyu’s long hair. “I’ll go upstairs to change. Wait for me for dinner.”
“Yes, go ahead. I’ll put the clothes you want on the bed.”
Yin Jiujin finally couldn’t help but kiss her forehead. “How virtuous.”
When Yan Jinyu didn’t go to the company with Yin Jiujin, or when Yin Jiujin didn’t pick her up and she came back alone from school first, she would take out the home clothes that Yin Jiujin wanted to change into and put them on the bed.
Yan Jinyu wasn’t humble either. “Of course. You’ve got a great deal with a fiancée like me.”
Yin Jiujin chuckled. “I did get a great deal, but I don’t like the word ‘fiancée’.”
Yan Jinyu understood and glanced at him.
Wasn’t she his real wife after the word “fiancée” was removed?
Although it didn’t matter to her since they had decided to spend the rest of their lives after all and their current interactions were similar to that of a married couple,
she still did not agree with him.
Based on her understanding of Yin Jiujin, if she agreed, he would probably do something to change her age and register their marriage.
Yin Jiujin was completely capable of doing such a thing.
After Yin Jiujin went upstairs, Yan Jinyu walked to the sofa and looked at Yu Xiao, who was standing there in a daze. “Sit. Why are you standing there?”
Yu Xiao sat down robotically.
After a while, he slowly came back to his senses. “Eldest Cousin…”
“What?”
He said hesitantly, “Does Master Nine… Brother-in-law treat you well?”
Without waiting for Yan Jinyu to reply, he said, “Oh, I’m being silly. Anyone with eyes can tell that Brother-in-law treats you very well.”
“This is quite good, quite good…”
“Yu Xiao.” Yan Jinyu suddenly called him by his full name.
Yu Xiao was stunned. He sat up straight in a second. “Eldest Cousin!”
Yan Jinyu looked at him and said, “I’m three years older than you. I’m your eldest cousin.”
“?” Yu Xiao did not understand what she was talking about.
Yan Jinyu continued, “I’m your eldest cousin. I’ll settle my matters. You don’t have to worry. Your job now is to study hard.”
So that was what she meant…
“I wasn’t worried about you. I was just asking out of curiosity.”
“Eldest Cousin, I heard from my mother that you’ve met the others in the Yin Family. Are they easy to get along with?” After saying that, he hurriedly added, “I was just asking casually. If Eldest Cousin doesn’t want to answer, just pretend that I didn’t ask.”
“The Yin Family is very easy to get along with.” She paused slightly. “Don’t worry.”
Even if they were not easy to get along with, they could not do anything to her.
Yan Jinyu didn’t say that.
Yu Xiao was relieved to hear that.
He stopped asking, but he was happy.
His eldest cousin had already answered his questions properly, but she still told him not to worry. Did that mean that his relations.h.i.+p with his elder cousin had improved again?
Yu Xiao was not happy for too long.
He became nervous again when Yin Jiujin went downstairs.
However, thinking that he was Yan Jinyu’s family member, he didn’t show fear on his face. He tried his best to control the nervousness in his heart and make himself look more natural.
What he didn’t know was that his skills were completely insufficient to Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu.
They had long seen through him.
They just didn’t expose them.
During the meal, Yu Xiao saw how much Yin Jiujin doted on Yan Jinyu again.
Almost all the dishes in Yan Jinyu’s bowl were picked up by Yin Jiujin.
He even helped her remove the fish bones when he picked up the fish. When she ate the prawns, he personally helped her peel the prawns…
Yan Jinyu would also pick up food for Yin Jiujin during the meal.
The atmosphere between the two of them was so warm that no one could interrupt.
Yu Xiao was completely relieved.
He quickly finished his meal and left.
He didn’t want to be a third wheel.
***
The next day.
Yan Jinyu didn’t go to cla.s.s. She personally accompanied Yu Xiao to the Imperial Capital High School to settle the admission procedures.
Yin Jiujin wanted to follow them, but Yan Jinyu didn’t allow him to.
Firstly, Yin Jiujin had something to do at his company. Secondly, it would be too high-profile.
With Yin Jiujin’s looks and aura, Yu Xiao would immediately become famous if he went to school with him.
Of course, the effect wouldn’t be far off either if Yan Jinyu went with him.
Hence, Yan Jinyu specially restrained her aura and even wore a pair of sungla.s.ses that covered most of her face. She wasn’t that conspicuous anymore.
Yu Xiao walked beside Yan Jinyu, feeling a little surprised.
Why did his eldest cousin look like a different person when she was wearing sungla.s.ses?
If it were him, who never took the initiative to pay attention to strangers, he would not look at her when he saw her like this before he knew her.
Even if he saw her, he would only glance at her once. He would pay too much attention to it.
This did not mean that his eldest cousin was not beautiful after wearing sungla.s.ses. It was just that she would inexplicably give people a low-key and inconspicuous feeling when she walked in the crowd. And he was not the kind of person who would stare at a beauty whenever he saw one. Naturally, he would not pay much attention to such a beauty like his eldest cousin.
It was very strange.
Why did he have the feeling that his eldest cousin could… or rather, completely restrain her aura?
It was the kind of ability that only the formidable figures had that allowed them to hide their ident.i.ties and make it convenient for them to act.
Her eldest cousin was not professionally trained. How was that possible?
He must be thinking too much.
Yin Jiujin had already greeted them beforehand, so the admission procedures were very smooth.
“It’s done. I’ll bring Student Yu Xiao to cla.s.s first.”
“Thank you, Dean.” Yan Jinyu took off her sungla.s.ses.
Seeing Yan Jinyu’s appearance, the director in his forties was stunned.
However, he didn’t dare to stare at Yan Jinyu when he thought about the person that sent Yu Xiao here.
“You’re being too polite.”
Yan Jinyu nodded and said to Yu Xiao, “Someone will pick you up after school. Try to get along well with your cla.s.smates in school. Call me if you need anything.”
Yan Jinyu didn’t let Yu Xiao stay on campus.
She knew that Yan Ruyu had no intention of letting Yu Xiao stay on campus either. However, Yu Xiao did not want to trouble them too much, so he planned to stay on campus before Yan Ruyu and Yu Wen returned to the country. He would only go back on the weekend.
Since she had promised to help take care of Yu Xiao, how could Yan Jinyu allow him to stay on campus?
She had told Yu Xiao about it during dinner last night.
Yu Xiao wanted to insist, but Yan Jinyu glanced at him indifferently. For some reason, he didn’t dare to speak again.
Then that was it.
“Alright, thank you, Eldest Cousin.”
