Chapter 91: Birthday Present

“Little Yu.”

Yan Jinyu’s heart skipped a beat when he suddenly called her softly. “Huh?”

“Are you happy to live with me in Mount Jing?”

Of course, she was happy. This was part of her plan. However, she did not answer immediately when he really asked.

It was not that she was unhappy, but this happiness seemed to be different from the happiness she had planned.

She could not pinpoint exactly what was different.

She didn’t answer, but Yin Jiujin said, “I’m very happy.”

“…” Yan Jinyu. Her heart beat even faster now.

However, she could not figure out why. This had never happened to her before.

Perhaps, her “illness” was getting worse? action

That must be it!

Feng had said that her “illness” always made her feel inexplicably frustrated. That frustration was often out of her control.

Frustration was also a kind of emotion. The frustration that she could not control was actually similar to the strange feeling that she was feeling now.

In that case, it made sense that her “illness” had worsened.

Yin Jiujin sighed inwardly when he didn’t hear her reply for a long time and then saw her stunned expression.

Forget it. The girl was still young and didn’t know a lot of things. She should take it slow.

With one hand around her waist, he raised the other and took out a gift box from the bag on the back of the seat behind him. “Haven’t you been thinking about my birthday present for you? Open it and take a look.”

Yan Jinyu was feeling complicated when she saw the pink gift box in front of her. Her confused emotions dissipated instantly.

She was happy to see the gift, but she was speechless again when she saw Yin Jiujin’s aesthetic choice.

The first time he went shopping with her, he picked out a pink fluffy princess dress for her. This time, he bought her a birthday present and it was a pink package.

She suddenly didn’t dare to open it, afraid that the gift inside was also filled with girly pink color.

However, she really wanted to open it.

She had been looking forward to this gift for a long time. Ever since Yin Jiujin told her that he was going to choose a birthday gift for her, she had been looking forward to it.

It was about 20 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide.

Like a necklace package.

“You don’t like it?” Seeing that she was staring at the gift box and refusing to accept it, Yin Jiujin thought that she didn’t like it.

“No.” Although she didn’t dare to “compliment” Yin Jiujin’s aesthetics, she really liked this gift, even though the gift inside might be pink that would give her a headache.

She took it and opened it.

A necklace lay in the box.

It indeed was a necklace package!

The ordinary silver necklace was, thankfully, not pink.

The necklace was nothing special. At least, to Yan Jinyu, who had seen countless treasures, this necklace barely caught her eye.

However, she was still shocked when she saw the necklace.

The necklace was an ordinary necklace chain, but the pendant was a ring!

There was a faint golden color in the silver. The material was top-notch. The workmanship was not rough, but it was definitely not considered exquisite. At least, to Yan Jinyu, it looked like this.

It was obvious that it was not the handiwork of a skilled master.

Yan Jinyu roughly looked at it. The size of the ring was just right for her left middle finger.

She swept her gaze over without a trace and happened to see the tiny wounds on Yin Jiujin’s slender fingers. They were almost completely healed.

Yan Jinyu’s eyes flickered.

Her grip on the gift box tightened.

Yin Jiujin was born in the Yin Family, a top-notch influential family in the capital. He had an elder brother who was responsible for carrying on the family’s mission. It could be said that he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Furthermore, he didn’t have to shoulder the family’s mission even when he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

He should have been spoiled by his elders.

However, he was a capable man. He joined the army when he was eight years old. Although nobody knew why he suddenly retired when he was 16 and started to work in the business world.

However, it was undeniable that he was outstanding in every field.

The Yin Family wasn’t a business family. Yin Jiujin had come to North City alone. Other than the Mount Jing’s title deed that Old Madam Yin had left for him, he hadn’t brought anything with him. He hadn’t taken any money from the Yin Family either. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that he had built his fortune from scratch.

As for Yin Jiujin, he made the Empire Group famous in just five years. At the same time, he, who was only 20 years old then, had already been respectfully addressed as Master Nine in the business circle.

His reputation was even greater at 24 years old now.

Such a person was completely worthy of being called the “favored son of heaven”.

However, even such a “favored son of heaven” took time out of his busy schedule to personally polish her birthday gift!

Yin Jiujin didn’t even intend to tell her if she hadn’t discovered it herself!

Why was she so sure that Yin Jiujin had taken time out of his busy schedule to prepare this gift? Because two months ago, Yin Jiujin didn’t know anything about her other than her name “Yan Jinyu”.

At that time, it was impossible for Yin Jiujin to personally prepare a gift for her.

In the two months since he brought her back to North City, Yin Jiujin had been busy dealing with the trouble that Huo Xuan had created for him.

What else could it be if it wasn’t him taking time out of his busy schedule?

If the gift wasn’t for her, who could Yin Jiujin have already prepared it for?

That was even more impossible.

Not to mention that Yin Jiujin wasn’t the kind of person who would have the time to polish a woman’s ring, but even if he was that kind of person, the ring wouldn’t be so suitable for her. Furthermore, if one looked carefully, they would see a very subtle “J & Y” logo on the inside of the ring.

With her brain, how could she not understand the meaning of this symbol?

How could this be a ring that Yin Jiujin had made for someone else?

Was Yin Jiujin someone who lacked the money to buy a ring? Yet, he had to do it personally, making her feel so complicated now.

Seeing her staring blankly at the necklace (ring), Yin Jiujin asked again, “You don’t like it?”

Ever since he brought the young lady back to North City, he had been considering what kind of coming-of-age gift to give her. He couldn’t think of anything suitable to give her.

He had a lot of money and could buy as many expensive gifts as he wanted. However, if the young lady wanted those gifts, he could buy them for her in the future. The young lady only had one coming-of-age gift and he wanted to give her a special gift.

That night, he told the little girl on the phone that he was going to patrol the Empire Mall and pick out a birthday present for her. He chose this silver chain that could barely match the ring and this gift box.

As for the ring, he had accidentally obtained the raw material many years ago. On the second day after he left North City to settle some matters, he had been concerned about whether the young lady would be bullied in the Yan Family, so he found time to start polishing it.

He had polished the ring for almost a month.

Of course, he had other things to do and did not have much time to polish the ring.

Even though he was skilled, it was still his first time polishing a ring. The material was special, so even he would occasionally hurt his hand.

In order to prevent the young lady from thinking too much when she saw his hands, he had been applying medicine to the wound on his fingers every day in the following month. The wounds were barely visible now.

The young lady was so silly, so she shouldn’t have noticed.

Yin Jiujin couldn’t help but sigh when he thought of this.

He had never thought that he would be so dedicated to preparing a birthday gift for a young lady.

“I like it. Thank you, Brother Nine.”

Lin Zimu, who was in front, heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that Miss Yan liked it. Otherwise, his boss’s efforts would be wasted.

He had been by his boss’s side for the past two months, so other than the boss himself, he knew the origin of this gift the best.

Yin Jiujin’s lips curled up slightly. “As long as you like it.”

“Shall I put it on for you?”

“Okay.”

“But I’ve been wearing the jade pendant. Brother Nine, you have to help me remove it first.”

“Speaking of which, this jade pendant was given to me by Brother Nine’s grandmother. It’s considered a token of our engagement. It has never left my side all these years outside.” It wasn’t because this was a token of their engagement, but because this jade pendant was the only one thing on her that was connected to her past before she met the kidnappers. It had always been worn as a token of remembrance.

Yin Jiujin looked at the jade pendant hanging on the red string with an inexplicable look in his eyes. “You’re wearing it all the time?”

Yan Jinyu looked at the jade pendant and smiled. She nodded, “Yes, I’ve been wearing it.”

“After you remove it, please keep it for me, Brother Nine.”

Yin Jiujin paused. “Alright.”

He pushed her long hair to the side and was about to remove the jade pendant when he saw her slender and fair neck.

Yin Jiujin’s eyes suddenly turned obscure.

After a long while, he raised his hand to help her untie the red string with the jade pendant. He did not know if it was intentional or not, but his fingers would inevitably touch the back of her neck.

Yan Jinyu shirked her neck. “Brother Nine, are you done? Is the knot unable to loosen after so long?” She actually wanted to say that it was ticklish when he kept touching her.

However, she stopped herself.

If she really said that, it would make her look unappreciative.

Yin Jiujin had spent so much effort preparing a birthday gift for her and even personally put it on her. Yet, she was being so calculative over something that he had unintentionally done. That would be too outrageous.

“Almost done.”

“…” Min Ting and Lin Zimu.

They self-hypnotised. [I am a fool. I know nothing.]

They did not dare to look or speak.

Another minute passed. Just as Yan Jinyu almost couldn’t help but urge him again, Yin Jiujin finally helped her remove the jade pendant.

Yin Jiujin placed the jade pendant with the word “Yu” in the pink gift box. He held the necklace in his hand and was about to put it on her.

However, Yan Jinyu suddenly grabbed his wrist. “Brother Nine, actually, it’s fine if you don’t put this necklace on my neck. Since the pendant is a ring, it should be fine put it on my hand directly.”

Yin Jiujin froze.
