Chapter 497: Their Birthday
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After leaving Qin Hao’s base, Yan Jinyu naturally agreed when Chu Ling applied for a day off to return to the Chu Family.
Hence, Chu Xiaohuan and Chu Ling returned to the Chu Family while Yan Jinyu drove back to the Mount West Villa…
It was true that she was driving, but she was not going back alone.
Yin Jiujin was waiting for her outside Qin Hao’s base.
As soon as she walked out of the base, she saw Yin Jiujin standing there. Yan Jinyu’s complex emotions, which were caused by putting an end to the kidnapping back then, instantly dissipated.
“Little Yu’er.”
Yin Jiujin stood there and looked at her with a faint smile.
“I came to take you home.”
It seemed like he had been standing here for a while.
At that moment, other than the complex emotions that had dissipated, Yan Jinyu was also a little touched.
He opened his arms to her, and Yan Jinyu pounced into his arms.
“Brother Nine, why are you here?”
He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her for a while before rubbing her long hair. “Didn’t I say that I’m here to pick you up and bring you home?”
“I drove here. I can go back by myself.”
“I want to pick you up. Can’t I?” Actually, there was no special reason for him to come over. He just had a hunch that he should come over.
As soon as he finished speaking, the young lady smiled and said, “Of course.”
Then, she looked up and kissed him.
Yin Jiujin thought to himself.?She must have made a move personally again.
He first followed her lead. He gave her the lead before taking it back later.
The kiss lasted for a long time.
Chu Ling and Chu Xiaohuan hadn’t left yet. They were undoubtedly shocked to see this scene.
What shocked Chu Xiaohuan was that Yin Jiujin was completely different from the rumors. He didn’t look like a cold God of Slaughter at all. He was clearly a good man who doted on his fiancée very much.
Chu Ling was more shocked because of Yan Jinyu.
Yan Jinyu had completely subverted her understanding.
How was she a big shot who killed without batting an eyelid? She was clearly an ordinary girl who knew how to rely on others.
This was the first time she had seen Miss Yu show such a completely dependent and trusting expression in front of someone.
The two of them left silently with complicated emotions.
As for Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin, they ended the long kiss and drove back to the Mount West Villa.
Yan Jinyu wanted to drive, so Yin Jiujin consciously sat in the front passenger seat.
He didn’t fight with her.
***
Another few days passed.
On this day, the Mount West Villa was especially lively.
Yan Jinyu’s birthday arrived.
There was no grand event, but many people came.
Even Feng Xiangxiang and Feng Qin from the Feng Family came.
Feng Qin and Feng Xiangxiang didn’t know that Xi Mao was still alive and he was at Mount West Villa before they came to Mount West Villa.
They were purely here to celebrate Yan Jinyu’s birthday.
However, they were led away by Xi Fengling as soon as they entered the Mount West Villa.
“Sister, where are you bringing us? We just arrived here. Should we greet the hosts first?”
“It’s fine. Beauty Yu isn’t an outsider. She won’t mind these things.”
“As for Second Young Master Yin, he won’t mind either.” He probably wouldn’t pay any attention to them at all.
“I’ll bring you and Mom to meet someone first.”
“Who?” Feng Qin was puzzled.
This was Master Nine’s territory. She didn’t dare to look around after coming in. She couldn’t think of anyone who wanted to see them here.
Actually, they were all very nervous to attend Yan Jinyu’s birthday party here.
They only thought that Yan Jinyu contributed greatly to them being able to escape the control of the Feng Family and gain freedom now. In addition, with Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling’s relationship, it wouldn’t feel good if they didn’t attend when they found out that today was Yan Jinyu’s birthday and they were holding a small banquet to celebrate.
That was why they came.
“You’ll know when we see him.”
Xi Fengling led them to the small building beside the main building.
Seeing Min Rufeng standing outside the small building, Feng Xiangxiang and Feng Qin were taken aback at the same time.
Meeting Second Young Master Min?
But hadn’t they seen each other many times recently?
“Auntie Feng,” Min Rufeng greeted.
“N-nice to meet you.” Although she had seen him a few times, Feng Xiangxiang still couldn’t treat Min Rufeng as an ordinary junior.
After the Feng Family’s accident, Feng Xiangxiang and Feng Qin came to the capital to stay for a while.
Feng Qin was a celebrity and lived in a high-end apartment. Most of the residents there were successful people.
When she was taking a walk in the neighborhood, Feng Xiangxiang would occasionally chat with some neighbors. From the neighbors, she realized more clearly what kind of existence the Min Family in the capital was and how formidable the young head of the Min Family in the capital was.
Feng Xiangxiang was very reserved in front of him, so Min Rufeng naturally sensed it too.
However, he did not care.
The only person he cared about was Xi Fengling. It was fine as long as he was polite to the others. He didn’t care about anything else.
Min Rufeng was a little similar to Yan Jinyu in this aspect.
Xi Fengling understood Min Rufeng. In addition, her feelings for Feng Xiangxiang and the others were actually not that deep. She wasn’t very close to Feng Xiangxiang herself, so she naturally wouldn’t expect too much from Min Rufeng.
Min Rufeng nodded at Feng Qin as a form of greeting before walking over to hold Xi Fengling’s hand. “He’s waiting upstairs, but he probably doesn’t know that you’ll bring someone to see him.”
Xi Fengling had decided to bring Feng Xiangxiang and Feng Qin over at the last minute. She didn’t know that they would celebrate Yan Jinyu’s birthday either.
Hence, she didn’t tell Xi Mao about this in advance.
“It’s fine. They have to meet sooner or later. It was a last-minute decision to come today. It’s not a bad idea to take this opportunity to meet him.” It would be even more torturous if they couldn’t meet him immediately after knowing the news.
She was about to go upstairs when she saw that Xi Mao was already on the first floor. He was sitting in a wheelchair and was about to push the wheelchair out.
Min Rufeng didn’t even know that he went downstairs.
He had been waiting for Xi Fengling outside and didn’t enter the house first.
It seemed like Xi Mao had asked the servants to help him downstairs and sit in the wheelchair.
He did not ask the servants to help push the wheelchair.
With Min Rufeng’s medical skills, as long as he could wake the person up, he could heal any serious injuries. It was just a matter of time.
Just like Xi Mao. He was so seriously injured that he could get out of bed after waking up for a few days. Now, he could even go downstairs and take the wheelchair out. It was obvious how formidable Min Rufeng was.
He was about to push the wheelchair out when all of them stepped in.
They bumped into each other.
The ones with the greatest reaction were undoubtedly Xi Mao and Feng Xiangxiang.
After a long while, Feng Xiangxiang said uncertainly, “B-Brother Xi?”
It was not that she could not recognize the unrecognizable Xi Mao, but she could not believe that this was true. She was afraid that if she believed it, reality would give her a fatal blow in the next second.
Xi Mao was filled with bitterness. He moved his lips and only spoke after a long while, “Xiangxiang, I’m back.”
Feng Xiangxiang heard the familiar voice and her body swayed. She almost lost her balance.
Xi Fengling reached out to support her in time.
“Y-you…”
“I’m back. I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”
She was indeed waiting.
Back then, he asked Feng Xiangxiang to wait for him and said that he would come back after making the trip.
However, he never came back.
She had waited for 16 years!
Although Feng Xiangxiang had married before, she was beautiful. The Feng Family had brought her and Feng Qin back with the intention of exchanging them for benefits. How could they not have any thoughts about Feng Xiangxiang?
Every time Feng Xiangxiang used her own life as a threat, coupled with the fact that Feng Qin was sensible at such a young age and said that if the Feng Family dared to touch Feng Xiangxiang, she would immediately disfigure herself. Her attitude was firm and she didn’t seem to be joking at all. That was why the Feng Family slowly backed off and never had any designs on Feng Xiangxiang again.
However, regardless of whether the Feng Family had any designs on Feng Xiangxiang, Feng Xiangxiang had indeed suffered all these years.
She did not know if her husband was dead or alive, her elder daughter was missing, and she did not have the ability to protect her younger daughter…
Hence, after hearing Xi Mao’s words, Feng Xiangxiang covered her mouth and cried.
However, she did not go forward. Xi Mao pushed the wheelchair towards her and held her hand. “I’m sorry for making you worry.”
Feng Xiangxiang pounced into his arms. “B-Brother Xi, is that really you? I’m not dreaming, right?”
“It’s really me, Xiangxiang. I’m back.”
Feng Xiangxiang sobbed uncontrollably.
Feng Qin came back to her senses. “Dad, Dad?”
Xi Mao patted Feng Xiangxiang’s back gently and looked up. He squeezed out a smile when he saw Feng Qin. Probably because he had not smiled for a long time, his smile was a little stiff. “It’s Qin’er. You’ve grown up.”
Feng Qin covered her lips in disbelief and sobbed.
It was actually true!
She really wanted to see her father again, especially when she had just arrived at the Feng Family and the Feng Family forced her mother to do something that her mother didn’t like. She really wanted her father to be by her side.
But she had never dared to think about it.
Because once she thought about it and felt dependent, she would become weak.
She had to toughen herself up to protect her mother and herself.
Feng Qin grabbed Xi Fengling’s arm excitedly. “Sister, I didn’t see wrongly. It’s really Dad, right?”
Xi Fengling’s expression didn’t change much, but how could she feel good seeing this?
She just wouldn’t cry like them.
“Yes, it’s him.”
After a pause, Xi Fengling patted the back of her hand. “Stop crying. Isn’t it a happy matter for him to appear in front of you?”
“Yes, I’m happy.”
Xi Fengling patted her shoulder comfortingly.
Min Rufeng, who was at the side, was about to extend his hand when he slowly retracted it.
He clenched his fists gently.
His heart ached for his woman too.
However, she still had to comfort others.
Hence, he spoke first, “Let’s go in and talk.”
They slowly calmed down, especially Xi Mao and Feng Xiangxiang.
Feng Xiangxiang retreated from Xi Mao’s arms. Although she had stopped crying, she was still trembling.
When she saw Xi Mao sitting in the wheelchair and then Xi Mao’s face, she said with a trembling voice, “Brother Xi, w-why are y-you…”
“Have I become very ugly?”
Feng Xiangxiang shook her head hard. “No! No! No matter what you become, you’ll always be the best and the most handsome man in my heart.”
After saying that, Feng Xiangxiang felt a little uncomfortable when she remembered that she had juniors around.
However, these were indeed her thoughts.
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Xi Mao helped her out. “I encountered something. Let’s go over and sit down.”
After saying that, she looked at the three people standing there. “Come and sit too.”
Seeing that he was about to push the wheelchair forward, Feng Xiangxiang hurriedly said, “I’ll do it!”
She pushed him into the living room.
Feng Qin still couldn’t recover. Her eyes turned red again as she held Xi Fengling’s arm. “Sister, you really found Dad! You really found him! I’m so happy. Am I dreaming?”
“No, it’s real.”
“Let’s go in first and sit down.”
As soon as Feng Qin let go, an arm wrapped around Xi Fengling’s waist and hugged her for a while without saying anything.
Feng Qin, who was walking in front, did not see the two people hugging behind her.
When she turned back, Min Rufeng had already let go of Xi Fengling.
However, Min Rufeng’s comforting was very effective to Xi Fengling.
Min Rufeng sat beside Xi Fengling too when he walked over and sat down.
Without saying a word, he held her hand and accompanied her quietly.
Xi Mao didn’t tell Feng Xiangxiang and Feng Qin what exactly happened all these years. He only said that he had fallen into the hands of his enemies and was only saved by Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin not long ago.
This description undoubtedly earned him another round of tears.
However, after crying, Feng Xiangxiang and Feng Qin were happy.
They were extremely happy.
After knowing that Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin had saved Xi Mao, they didn’t delay anymore. They each went to wash their faces and went to the banquet hall in the main building next door to thank them personally. They also wanted to celebrate Yan Jinyu’s birthday.
Xi Mao wanted to push the wheelchair out just now because he had heard that it was Yan Jinyu’s birthday today. He wanted to go over personally to take a look.
Even if he could not bring gifts for the time being, he would seem more sincere to be present personally.
Xi Mao was grateful to Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin.
Without them, he would still be in a horrendous situation now.
However, due to his personality, Xi Mao couldn’t say emotional words, so he put this gratitude inside him.
When they arrived at the main building’s banquet hall, everyone was already there.
Not many people came either.
Other than them, only Min Ting, Qin Hao, Huo Siyu, and the Yin Family came.
Of course, Chu Ling and Yan Jinyun came together, so Chu Ling was also here.
Chu Lin was here, and so was Chu Xiaohuan.
Feng Yuan had been following Yan Jinyun.
Huo Xuan was also present. At this moment, he was sitting in the resting area.
“Beauty Yu.”
Just as Yan Jinyu heard the voice, she saw a figure pouncing at her.
Xi Fengling hugged her.
Yin Jiujin was pushed away.
His face darkened instantly.
