Chapter 41: Master Nine Was Frustrated

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Empire Hotel in the largest hotel in a luxurious city, the man sitting at the study desk had one hand on the laptop in front of him and the other holding the phone to his ear. The man was wearing a white shirt with half of his sleeves rolled up. Two of the buttons on his collar had been undone. He had sharp eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. His face was handsome and cold, and he exuded a strong sense of attractiveness.

There was a strange expression on his face, as if there was a hint of surprise and an undetectable joy.

Who would have thought that this man had a cold gaze just a mere second ago? He looked very angry and a little anxious.

Upon hearing the young lady’s words over the phone, Yin Jiujin was indeed a little stunned. However, he was quickly affected by her bell-like laughter. He couldn’t help but imagine the young lady smiling sweetly.

Yes, she must have looked silly.

However, he really wanted to see the girl in person now.

A week was neither long nor short, but it was his first time talking to the girl.

He had only been texting the little girl these few days.

Speaking of texting, he was not someone who liked to nag, nor was he someone who would easily worry about others. However, after parting with the girl, he was always worried about her. If he wasn’t too busy and had a cold personality, it definitely wouldn’t be as simple as one to three messages a day.

He was always worried that the young lady would not be used to being in the Yan Family. He was even more worried that the young lady would be bullied.

Fortunately, the little girl would reply immediately every time he sent a message. Even though most of the time, the little girl’s reply was very simple, and sometimes, she would only reply with likes “Mm”, “Yes”, “Alright”, and so on. It was so short that it made him feel depressed. However, he could at least receive her reply immediately, but this time, his phone had been silent for almost three minutes. He thought that something had happened to the little girl.

He quickly called her.

He was very angry initially, but after hearing the girl’s words and laughter, he’d forgotten to be angry. His mood even became inexplicably better.

The girl lady might look silly, but she knew that he would call her if she didn’t reply to his message. She wasn’t stupid.

However, this kind of thing could only happen once. It could not be encouraged.

“I’ll forget about it this time. You’ll have to reply to my messages as soon as possible in the future.” However, he had forgotten that he, Yin Jiujin, had never easily forgiven someone for making a mistake.

Yan Jinyu was obviously an exception.

The girl chuckled and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes.”

“Is Brother Nine still busy?”

Looking at the document on the computer in front of him that still needed to be dealt with, Yin Jiujin said without changing his expression, “No.”

Yan Jinyuknew that he wasn’t telling the truth, but she didn’t intend to expose him, “Then when can Brother Nine’s matter be settled?”

“…Soon.” The girl’s question made him feel that she wanted him to return to North City earlier. His heart felt a little warm.

It seemed like he had to hurry up and settle the matters here. At least, he had to rush back before the young lady’s coming-of-age ceremony.

“Have you gotten used to living in North City recently?”

Yan Jinyu’s hand that was holding the phone paused. To be honest, she wasn’t used to it, even though she didn’t have to worry about anything when it came to meals. She clearly wasn’t someone who liked to use her brain to think, but recently, her mind kept spinning unconsciously. Whenever she thought too much, she would feel frustrated.

She disliked it very much.

“It’s still alright. You don’t have to worry about anything. My life is very comfortable.”

Yin Jiujin was an extremely sharp person. Although her tone was relaxed, he could still sense her slight pause.

It made sense when one thought about it. The young lady’s growing up environment was like that. It was good enough that she didn’t panic when she suddenly returned to the Yan Family and wasn’t liked by the Yan Family. How could she get used to it?

“If you need anything, look for Cheng Lin or call me directly.” He was afraid that she would be bullied and no one would stand up for her.

“Yes, Brother Nine, please focus on your work. You don’t have to worry about me.” Although she wasn’t used to it, these people weren’t enough to make her suffer. “I even made a trip to the Feng Family today. The Feng Family’s cousins are all very good people.” She specially mentioned this to let Yin Jiujin know that she wasn’t alone in North City, so he didn’t have to worry about her continuously.

Yin Jiujin knew that the Feng Family in North City had been insisting on looking for Yan Jinyu.

Feng Chen’s family really cared about her. As a young girl, how could she not hope to be liked by her family? With the Feng Family’s concern, the young girl should feel better, “You can interact with the Feng Family more often.”

Yan Jinyu understood Yin Jiujin’s intentions. She smiled with curved eyebrows, “Got it.”However, it was fine as long as she interacted with them occasionally. There was no need for her to interact with them too much. She had too many enemies. She didn’t even plan to make friends with Yan Xin, let alone the Feng Family.

“It’s rare that Brother Nine isn’t busy so you should rest early. I won’t disturb you anymore. Goodnight.”

“…Mm-hmm.” Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Yin Jiujin frowned again. Most of her messages were very short, and the call ended so quickly as well…

It had always been others who rushed to curry favor with him. This was the first time he had encountered someone like the girl.

He felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.

He glanced at the computer in front of him and closed it after a moment of hesitation. Then, he got up and walked into the bathroom, preparing to shower and sleep.

He had not had a good rest for the entire week. Today, he had the urge to rest early because of the young lady’s words.

After Yan Jinyu hung up the call, she looked up at the door in front of her and narrowed her beautiful eyes.

This door was really familiar and yet strange at the same time.

With so many things happening today, she knew what she would have to face when she stepped through the door.

Tsk, she was getting frustrated again.

Given Yan Jinyu’s ability, there were many ways she could enter the door. However, she still walked forward and pressed the doorbell.

Probably due to her previous intimidation, the door opened shortly after the doorbell rang. The person who opened the door was the housekeeper Zhao Ling, “Missy, you’re back.” Her tone was very respectful.

She looked out of the door, “Is Missy alone?”

Yan Jinyu smiled at her, “Why not?”

Under the streetlamp, her smile was clearly fine, but Zhao Ling did not dare to look at her directly. She lowered her head in fear, “Missy, please don’t blame me. I was thinking that Second Missy went out with you, but you came back alone. I’m a little puzzled, so… It’s cold at night. Missy, come in first.”

To be honest, Yan Jinyu really didn’t have any other intentions now. She simply asked a question. She didn’t expect that it would scare her.

However, Zhao Ling’s words made her aware that Yan Jinyun wasn’t back yet.

They went straight to the main building.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, Yan Qingyu and Fu Ya, who were sitting on the sofa, looked at her. Yan Qingyu had a complicated expression on his face, while Fu Ya looked unhappy.

“You have indeed grown up in the countryside. You don’t have any rules at all! What time is it now?!”

Yan Jinyu stopped in her tracks and smiled with narrowed eyes, “Mom, if I’m not wrong, Yun’er isn’t back yet, right? From the looks of it, isn’t the top socialite raised by Mom even more unruly than me, who grew up in the countryside?”

Fu Ya was choked by her words. Facing Yan Jinyu, she felt an inexplicable fear. She snorted coldly and looked away, not daring to meet her gaze, “You even dare to talk back to your elders. You don’t have any rules at all! Yun’er didn’t come back because she wanted to attend her friend’s birthday party. What about you? You came back so late at night. I wonder where you went to fool around!”

“Alright, can’t you stop talking?” Yan Qingyu said and Fu Ya shut up unwillingly.

Yan Qingyu looked at Yan Jinyu, ” Did you go to the Feng Family?”
