Chapter 114 - Master Nine Panicked
Chapter 114: Master Nine Panicked
Two hours after Yin Jiujin returned to his room, he received a call from Cheng Lin.
At that moment, Yin Jiujin had just come out of the shower after returning to his room to settle two documents on his computer. He was wearing a white sleeping robe.
In the black-and-white room, his phone was casually tossed on the bedside table.
He dried his hair and picked up the phone to answer the call after hearing it ring.
It was almost midnight.
Usually, unless there was something urgent, Yin Jiujin’s subordinates wouldn’t call to disturb him at this time.
Hence, Yin Jiujin’s handsome face frowned slightly when he received this call.
“Master Nine.”
“What’s the matter?”
“The person in charge of Mount Jing’s security gave me a call just now. He said that a car has been hovering at the foot of Mount Jing. According to the license plate on the surveillance camera, he found that the owner of the car is someone under the eldest son of the Huo Family. That car should have been assigned to Miss Huo recently.”
“Miss Huo is loitering at the foot of Mount Jing but she doesn’t make her way up the mountain. Master Nine, do you want me to send someone down the mountain to ask for the reason?”
Cheng Lin couldn’t be blamed for asking this. Huo Siyu had come to Mount Jing once and was someone that Qin Hao had entrusted Yin Jiujin to take care of during her stay in North City. If she really had something to do, she could always enter Mount Jing after obtaining permission. However, she was loitering at the foot of the mountain, neither going away nor going up the mountain. The security chief of Mount Jing asked Cheng Lin to make a decision. After thinking about it, Cheng Lin decided to call Yin Jiujin.
On the other hand, Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but tighten his grip on his phone after hearing Cheng Lin’s words.
At this point, Yin Jiujin was already completely certain that Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu didn’t get to know each other because of his introduction. In other words, they knew each other in the past.
As for how they met, Yin Jiujin didn’t know, nor did he have much guesses.
Initially, his intention was to let them get to know each other, so Yan Jinyu wouldn’t be isolated in an area that he couldn’t care for her in this circle in the future.
Therefore, Yin Jiujin’s thoughts were that they only needed to be on good terms. Even though he felt that Huo Siyu was an eyesore as she always took up his time with Yan Jinyu.
But no matter what, in Yin Jiujin’s opinion, Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu were already good friends.
Thinking about how Huo Siyu had been looking for yogurt for Yan Jinyu in the restaurant previously, Huo Siyu seemed to be a little anxious. Yin Jiujin didn’t have to guess to know why Huo Siyu had appeared at the foot of Mount Jing but didn’t come up the mountain.
He was flustered.
“There’s no need for that.” Then, he hung up.
Cheng Lin was still stunned for a moment. Did Master Nine mean that he didn’t need to send someone to ask her?
Then, should he just leave Miss Huo at the foot of the mountain?
Although he was puzzled, Cheng Lin wouldn’t disobey Yin Jiujin’s orders. He called the security chief of Mount Jing and told him not to interfere.
After Yin Jiujin hung up, he held his phone tightly and quickly turned to leave the room.
If one took a closer look, they would notice that his footsteps were a little messy.
For the first time in his life, he felt regret.
The young lady had already apologized to him, so why did he have to make her wait for an entire night before letting her know that he had forgiven her?
Thinking back carefully, the young lady’s tone when she said “sorry” was indeed a little different from her usual tone.
Besides, seriously speaking, it was not the young lady’s fault. He was… being unreasonable. Otherwise, she would not have had the chance to suspect him.
Although he was still very concerned about her not trusting him, overall, they had not interacted for long, so it seemed normal for the young lady to trust a friend whom she had known since the beginning more than him.
He should have given the girl more time and gained her full trust with his actions. He shouldn’t have turned around and sulked like a young boy.
He was six years older than the young lady, and she was still a child. He was actually angry with her…
The young lady had only turned 18 yesterday and was completely ignored by her biological parents on the day she turned 18. She left with him in disappointment in the end.
The young lady was treating him as someone she could rely on, but he was fussing with the young lady over such a trivial matter…
He wondered if she would hide and cry.
In the end, Yin Jiujin didn’t even care that Yan Jinyu didn’t trust him…
Outside Yan Jinyu’s room, Yin Jiujin looked at the closed door and his heart constricted.
The soundproofing in the room was not bad, but it was not very good either. At least, standing outside the door, he could barely hear the commotion inside.
It was music.
However, she wasn’t playing music. It was Yan Jinyu’s phone’s ringtone.
It rang again and again, but no one picked up.
Yin Jiujin was alarmed. He hurriedly raised his hand to knock on the door, but he didn’t notice that his hand was trembling.
Did she not hear it when she was showering? Or was she already asleep?
W-why wasn’t she picking up the call?
The sound of him knocking on the door was loud. Could it be that she could not hear that either?
Yin Jiujin panicked. He was really panicking.
Emotions such as regret had never appeared on him before tonight, but they had appeared twice tonight, and each time was stronger than the last.
How did he have the heart to ignore her earlier?
No one answered when he knocked on the door. Perhaps it was because he was too flustered, but Yin Jiujin, who was usually calm and composed, actually forgot that he had a spare key. He straight away raised his leg and wanted to use brute force to knock open the door.
In the room, the lights were switched off and the curtains were closed. It was dark.
Fortunately, the curtains were not completely closed. A faint moonlight shone through the gaps of the curtains, and after adapting, she could barely see the situation in the room.
There was no one on the pink bed next to the door. There was also no one in the room either.
At that moment, Yan Jinyu was sitting next to the bed by the window. She was sitting on the carpet.
The bottles of yogurt that she had brought up in a basin had already been taken out by her and placed neatly on the carpet. There were five rows of five bottles neatly arranged, totaling 25 bottles.
After more than two hours, only eight bottles of yogurt were left. As for the finished bottles of yogurt, she placed them in the empty basin.
Her phone was placed beside the bottles of yogurt.
The phone kept ringing. Didn’t she hear or see it?
Of course, she did. She simply didn’t want to answer it.
Yin Jiujin kept knocking on the door. Didn’t she hear him?
Of course, she did. She simply didn’t want to respond.
She kept saying that she trusted Yin Jiujin, acknowledged him as her fiancé, and decided to spend the rest of her life with him. Just last night, she even recognized her feelings for Yin Jiujin.
However, did she really trust Yin Jiujin?
If it was before today, she would definitely answer yes.
From her point of view, Yin Jiujin, who only treated her well because she was Yan Jinyu, couldn’t possibly hurt her.
She also believed that her feelings were right.
However, just now, Yin Jiujin had only asked Little Rain a few questions, and she had already suspected his intentions…
Did she really trust Yin Jiujin as much as she thought?
She wasn’t sure anymore.
However, she did trust him. Otherwise, with her personality, how could she allow Yin Jiujin to be so close to her? She even wanted to spend the rest of her life with him?
It was not easy for her to survive until now. She cherished her life very much and would never want to spend the rest of her life with someone she did not trust.
In that case, she trusted him, but she also suspected him…
She could not figure it out.
She knew very well that if she didn’t make things clear, or rather, if she couldn’t make things clear, it was clearly impossible for her to be with Yin Jiujin for a long time.
If she ignored it, she might suspect that Yin Jiujin had ulterior motives because of his words or actions in the future.
Because of her distrust, Yin Jiujin was angry with her. At that moment, she was flustered.
This was the first time she felt flustered. What did it mean?
It could only mean that Yin Jiujin was more important to her than she thought.
He was someone whom she had recognized and held so much weight in her heart. With her personality, she naturally had to keep guarding him. Since she had to keep guarding him, she naturally couldn’t suspect Yin Jiujin for no reason.
Therefore, she had to think carefully. She clearly trusted Yin Jiujin. Why did she misunderstand him when he only asked Little Rain an unimportant question?
She did not like to think, but because of this, she decided to think things through clearly.
However, after thinking about it for so long and drinking so much yogurt, she still could not figure it out. Instead, the frustration in her heart grew.
She was frustrated and nauseous. She felt terrible.
If not for the fact that her willpower and control were far beyond that of ordinary people, one would not be able to see her sitting here.
After finishing another packet of yogurt, she threw the empty bottle into the basin and continued to open a new bottle.
At that moment, the door was knocked open by Yin Jiujin with a loud bang.
