Chapter 109 - Jinyun Is Jealous

Chapter 109: Jinyun Is Jealous

At a restaurant.

By the window.

Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu sat on one side, while Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan sat on the other.

Ever since he sat down, Feng Yuan’s gaze had been darting between Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu.

Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu had long realized that he was sizing them up, but Yan Jinyu didn’t take it to heart. She supported her chin with one hand on the dining table and tilted her head to look out of the window. Her other hand was playing with the empty yogurt bottle.

Yes, she had finished the yogurt. However, Yan Jinyu didn’t throw the yogurt bottle away immediately like before. Instead, she kept holding it.

It was not a packet of yogurt with a straw either. It was a bottle with a lid. Hence, no one would pay special attention to an empty yogurt bottle.

However, holding the yogurt bottle, she no longer had the urge to drink yogurt to suppress her frustration after seeing blood.

Yan Jinyu didn’t take it to heart. Huo Siyu, who was waiting for her meal, couldn’t help but say, “Young Master Feng, if you want to ask anything, just ask. Why do you keep looking at Beauty Yu and me?”

After a moment of hesitation, Feng Yuan finally asked the question in his heart, “Miss Huo and Jinyu… knew each other before, right?”

He had suspected it ever since he heard Jinyu call Huo Siyu “Little Rain” yesterday.

He remembered that Jinyu had a friend called Little Rain. She was someone who knew someone who didn’t get along with Master Nine in the business world.

Wasn’t the eldest son of the Huo Family, Huo Xuan, against Master Nine in the business world?

Feng Yuan asked about the same suspicion which Yan Jinyun had and was already 90% sure about. However, he didn’t ask Yan Jinyu for confirmation.

Her hand that was holding the glass of water paused. Her eyelashes were slightly lowered, but her ears were pricked up to listen to Huo Siyu’s reply.

Yan Jinyu retracted her gaze from the window.

Huo Siyu glanced at Yan Jinyu. Seeing that she had no intention of stopping her, she thought that since Feng Yuan had asked, he must have already guessed most of it. Hence, she didn’t hide it and said with a smile, “Yes, we’re very good friends.”

“Did Jinyu used to live… in Country F?”

He wanted to ask if Jinyu lived in Country F like Huo Siyu, but on second thought, if he really asked, wouldn’t it mean that he knew the information that Jinyu had been living in that orphanage all these years was fake?

If that was the case, Jinyu might mind.

“I’ve been to Country F a few times.” Yan Jinyu answered.

This was not a lie. Not only had she been to Country F, but she had also been to many countries. Putting aside the places she had gone to during her previous missions, she had been running around the world for the past three years after destroying Ghost Slaughter Island.

“Then, did you meet Miss Huo in Country F?”

Yan Jinyu smiled and replied, “No.” However, she had no intention of explaining further.

Feng Yuan did not intend to probe further. Now that he saw that she did not want to talk anymore, he did not say anything.

“Yun’er,” Yan Jinyu said.

Yan Jinyun didn’t expect her to suddenly call her. She was stunned, “What?”

“Did you put on your bracelet?”

Yan Jinyun instinctively held her left wrist. “You want to take it back?!” She only realized that her reaction was a little big and her face was slightly red.

“Yes, why?”

Yan Jinyu looked at her and chuckled, “Don’t be nervous. How can I take back a gift that I’ve given away? I just want to tell you that I’ve assembled something on that bracelet. If you encounter any trouble like today, remove the small purple diamond on the bracelet. I’ll rush over immediately.”

Yan Jinyun was stunned. She looked at her and then at the silver bracelet on her wrist. There was indeed a small purple diamond on it.

Feng Yuan and even Huo Siyu looked at Yan Jinyu in surprise.

Obviously, Huo Siyu didn’t know about this. Or rather, she knew that Yan Jinyu cared about her younger sister, Yan Jinyun, but she didn’t expect her to care so much.

Yan Jinyun moved her lips. “You… How did you… know how to assemble this thing?” She wanted to ask why she did that, but she suddenly changed her words.

Why would she do that? She was not stupid. How could she not tell?

Yan Jinyu only did this because she treated her well!

“I’ve learnt how to do it,” Yan Jinyu said nonchalantly.

“If you’re in trouble, as long as you remove that purple diamond, my phone will show your location. Knowing this, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you don’t have to panic even if your phone has no signal.”

“You…”

Yan Jinyu smiled and interrupted her, “Alright, you must be hungry since you haven’t eaten yet. Let’s eat first.” The waiter happened to come by to serve the dishes.

In the end, Yan Jinyun just looked at her and didn’t say anything. She picked up her cutlery and was about to start eating.

She had just picked up her knife and fork when she heard a shout.

“Brother Yuan!”

Yan Jinyun’s eyelids twitched. When Feng Yuan heard the voice, he didn’t look up immediately to see who it was. Instead, he instinctively looked at Yan Jinyun.

Yan Jinyun lowered her eyes, so he couldn’t see her expression.

Anyway, when he realized that his actions were a little strange, someone called him Brother Yuan. Why was he looking at Yan Jinyun?

Could it be that he wanted to see if she was… jealous?

Feng Yuan was shocked again.

He couldn’t use the word “jealous” carelessly. His relationship with Yan Jinyun was so bad, yet he actually thought of using the word “jealous” on Yan Jinyun?

Was he crazy?!

He quickly looked up at the person.

Feng Yuan frowned when he saw who it was.

Yan Jinyu glanced at Yan Jinyun before looking up at the person.

She had a good memory. She could remember everyone that she had seen once.

It was Feng Yuan’s ex-girlfriend, Xu Xiaoxiao. Beside her was someone with an awkward expression. It was Feng Yuan’s good friend, Xu Gui.

“Brother Yuan, are you guys eating here too?”

Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun were sitting in the seats by the window while Huo Siyu and Feng Yuan sat on the outside. Hence, Xu Xiaoxiao was standing beside Feng Yuan as soon as she dashed over.

She was about to bend down to hug Feng Yuan’s arm when Feng Yuan dodged her.

Feng Yuan did not look at Xu Xiaoxiao. Instead, he looked past her to look at Xu Gui behind her, “Why are you here?”

Speaking of this, Xu Gui was embarrassed and speechless.

He was called out by Xu Xiaoxiao. She said that he didn’t pick her up when she was discharged yesterday and asked him to treat her to a meal as compensation.

It was just a meal, he thought. As long as she no longer annoyed him while he was playing games, it was fine to treat her to a meal. Anyway, he was not short of money for a meal.

Naturally, Xu Xiaoxiao was the one who chose the restaurant. He was also curious as to why Xu Xiaoxiao would suddenly enter this restaurant which featured steak as its signature dish.

It was only when he saw Feng Yuan that he realized that Xu Xiaoxiao had an ulterior motive.

He did not know how she found out that Feng Yuan was here.

It was fine if Feng Yuan was here alone. Did Xu Xiaoxiao know who else was here besides Feng Yuan?

Yan Jinyun was an old acquaintance.

But even if it was an old acquaintance, it was still an old acquaintance that was not to be trifled with!

Eldest Miss Yan… Uh, although he had only met her once, the impact that she gave him had not eased up for more than a month!

The moment he thought of Miss Yan, two words popped up in his mind—I’m convinced!

He was convinced by her driving skills, her ability to turn the situation around, and even seriously injure the other party.

Furthermore, she had a huge backer!

He was present at the Yan Family’s banquet yesterday and was hiding in the crowd to watch the show. Hence, he could clearly see how Master Nine treated Yan Jinyu.

How would he dare to provoke such a person!

Moreover, there seemed to be someone else here whom he also could not provoke. She was the daughter of the Huo Family in South City, the fiancée of the eldest son of the Qin Family, Huo Siyu.

She had a high status and dared to embarrass the head of the Yan Family and his wife in front of the guests!

He was really afraid that Xu Xiaoxiao would be stupid enough to provoke them!

After all, Xu Xiaoxiao had done quite a lot of stupid things.

“…I came here for dinner. Xiaoxiao called me over. She said as compensation for the fact that I didn’t pick her up when she was discharged. I didn’t know that you were here.”

It had to be said that Xu Gui’s survival instincts were very strong.

Feng Yuan even asked him to transfer the breakup fee to Xu Xiaoxiao. It was obvious that he really didn’t want to see Xu Xiaoxiao again.

As Feng Yuan’s good friend for many years, Xu Gui knew very well that if he did not remove himself now, the one who would be unlucky would not be Xu Xiaoxiao but him.

Besides, he knew what Feng Yuan was thinking. Yan Jinyun was still here.

Although Feng Yuan himself might not have realized that he treated Yan Jinyun differently until now, there were some things that existed. Even if he didn’t realize it, he would still subconsciously react.

For example, after Xu Xiaoxiao called out “Brother Yuan”, Feng Yuan’s first reaction was to look at Yan Jinyun.

“Does Brother Yuan not want to see me? I’ve stayed in the hospital for more than a month. It’s fine if Brother Yuan didn’t visit me even once. Could it be that you don’t even want to greet me when you happen to meet me in the restaurant?”

“You’re right. I really don’t want to see you. I’m not the kind of person who will stay in touch after we break up. Since you’re no longer my girlfriend, you should return to where you came from. It’s best if you treat me as a stranger whenever we bump into each other in the future.”

Feng Yuan sounded like a jerk when he said this.

“Also, you said that I haven’t visited you once in the past month that you’ve been hospitalized. We’ve already broken up and you’ve accepted my breakup fee. You’re a stranger now. Have you seen anyone visiting a stranger? Even if there is, that person definitely won’t be me.”

“Besides, have you forgotten how you ended up in the hospital? You could fall down the stone stairs just by walking on it and even get yourself into the hospital. You don’t find it embarrassing, but I don’t have the heart to watch. It’s already so embarrassing. How thick is your skin? You actually have the cheek to let someone visit you. If it were me, I would definitely wish to hide and not see anyone.”
