The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned-Chapter 533 - Repeated Shock

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Xiao had not seen his eldest cousin for a year. He felt that she had not changed, but at the same time, he also felt that she had.

He could not describe this feeling. He just felt that she was easier to interact with than a year ago.

A year ago, her elder cousin’s smile was also clear and pure. At first glance, she looked no different from now, but when one sensed carefully, they would realize that although his eldest cousin seemed easy to get along with a year ago, she was actually very cold, unlike now…

How should he put it? Her smile seemed to be more humane.

“Thank you, Cousin. You even came to pick me up personally.”

“It’s a small matter.” She looked at the big suitcase he was dragging. “Is the luggage heavy? Do you need my help?”

Yu Xiao was stunned and then he felt flattered.

He was indeed right. This eldest cousin of his was really more humane!

Would his eldest cousin talk to him like this a year ago?

Even if he had not interacted with her much, he knew that it was definitely impossible!

“No, no. Thank you, Cousin. I’m quite strong. I can take it myself.”

Yan Jinyu was just asking casually. She didn’t insist. “Mm-hm.”

“Aunt said that she got a friend to arrange for a place for you to stay. Do you want to go to the new residence that Aunt arranged or stay at my place for the time being?”

“I know that my mother has arranged a place for me to stay. It’s just that I don’t often live in the country and am not very familiar with the country. My parents will only come over in a few days. If…”

He looked at Yan Jinyu and said embarrassedly, “…I’m saying if. If it’s not too troublesome for Eldest Cousin, can I stay at your place for a few days? I know. My new school’s matters were also arranged by Cousin. I have to report to school tomorrow. I’ll stay at school then and won’t disturb Cousin for too long.”

As if afraid that Yan Jinyu wouldn’t agree, he continued, “Speaking of which, I’m not afraid of being laughed at by Eldest Cousin. Actually, this is the first time I’m venturing out alone, and it’s in such an unfamiliar place. I’m a little afraid.”

It was true that this was the first time he was going on a long trip alone. Was he really afraid?

That didn’t exist at all.

His mother said that the reason why they wanted to return to the country was to live with his elder cousin for a while. As for whether they would settle down in the country, that was a matter for the future.

However, now that his eldest cousin had come to the capital, his eldest cousin’s engagement with the Yin Family’s Second Young Master was still valid and they were about to get engaged, but her elder cousin’s relationship with the Yan Family was so…

They were very worried that his eldest cousin would be bullied by the Yin Family because she had no elders to rely on, so they returned to the country.

Actually, what he wanted to say was that even if their family of three came back, they couldn’t do anything if a family like the Yin Family really didn’t treat his eldest cousin well and disliked her.

However, he did not object to his mother’s suggestion.

He didn’t even have any thoughts of objecting.

Whether they could do anything was one thing, and whether they were willing to do it was another.

Even if they couldn’t do anything, they had to let the Yin Family know that his eldest cousin wasn’t alone and had elders to rely on.

Since he was coming back for this and he had returned to the country first, he naturally had to seize the opportunity to interact with his eldest cousin and nurture their relationship.

“There’s no trouble. Let’s go to my place first.”

The so-called place she lived in was Yin Jiujin’s Mount West Villa.

There were many empty rooms in the Mount West Villa. Last time, Min Rufeng, Xi Fengling, Huo Siyu, and the others had all stayed there for a period of time. Now that they had all moved away, other than Yin Jiujin’s men, there were only her and Yin Jiujin there.

It wasn’t lonely. Even if she didn’t say a word, she wouldn’t feel lonely whenever she was with Yin Jiujin.

However, it wouldn’t be very lively either.

Most importantly, Yin Jiujin was the one who wanted to bring him to Mount West Villa.

Yin Jiujin was afraid that Yan Jinyu would arrange for Yu Xiao to be somewhere else. Then, she would go there every other day and take up their time together because she was worried. Hence, he suggested bringing Yu Xiao over.

However, Yan Jinyu didn’t know what Yin Jiujin was thinking.

Yan Jinyu was a person of few words, and Yu Xiao was not one to talk too much either.

Most importantly, he was inexplicably reserved in front of his eldest cousin, making him not know what to say for a moment.

Hence, Yu Xiao sat upright in the front passenger seat while Yan Jinyu drove.

Yan Jinyu wasn’t familiar with Yu Xiao, her cousin.

She had never thought that she would one day pick him up personally, bring him home to stay and accompany him to settle the admission procedures.

It was already very rare for her to do this. Why would she care if he would feel awkward if she didn’t say anything?

She wasn’t someone who cared about others’ feelings either.

However, she felt a little strange because she could sense Yu Xiao’s nervousness and reservation.

Her hands that were holding the steering wheel paused slightly. In the end, she said, “It’s almost lunchtime. Do you want to find a place to eat before going back?”

Yu Xiao thought that she lived alone, so it was not convenient for her to go back and cook.

He nodded without thinking. He just didn’t expect her to suddenly speak. He was stunned for a moment, “O-Okay!”

“What do you want to eat?”

“Anything is fine. Eldest Cousin is more familiar with the capital. Eat whatever you think is delicious. I’m not picky with food.”

“…” Yan Jinyu.

Usually, it was others who asked her what she wanted to eat and she couldn’t be bothered to think about it, but now, she had to be the one making the arrangements.

“…I usually ain’t the one who makes the decisions when I go out to eat. I actually don’t know what is delicious in the capital.”

Yu Xiao looked at her. He did not know if it was his imagination, but why did he feel that his usually calm eldest cousin seemed to be a little embarrassed now?

“I’ll call someone to ask.”

“…Alright.” Yu Xiao.

Before this, the two of them didn’t say anything, so Yan Jinyu took out her phone and connected it to Bluetooth to play some light music in the car. Now that she was calling, she used the Bluetooth right away.

Yu Xiao could hear the conversation.

The phone rang and the other party answered, “Little Yu’er.”

It was a pleasant male voice. Just hearing his voice gave people a very dignified feeling, but he was especially gentle when he called out these three words.

“You got him?”

“Yes, I got him.”

“Brother Nine, we plan to eat outside before going back. I wonder where we should go to eat.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a low laugh came from the other end of the line. “You…”

The cold man sitting at the head of the meeting room suddenly laughed, scaring all the executives.

Fortunately, they knew Master Nine’s feelings for his fiancée and it wasn’t the first time they had seen Master Nine treat his fiancée specially. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be as simple as trembling.

“I’ve booked the place. I’ll send you the address later.”

Yan Jinyu frowned slightly when she heard him say that. “Aren’t you going to eat together with us?”

It was almost lunchtime.

“I have to meet a client at noon, so I won’t accompany you.”

It was Sunday today. Logically speaking, Yin Jiujin didn’t have to work on Sunday. Although Yin Jiujin usually decided for himself whether he wanted to work or not, there were so many executives in the company, so they mostly rested on the weekend.

They had all returned to the company for a meeting today, so they naturally had more important work to do.

“Then remember to eat. Work is important, but eating is more important. With the Empire Group’s current scale, you don’t have to work so hard anymore.”

Actually, Yan Jinyu wanted to say that they weren’t short of money now. Even if they were short of money, she could still support Yin Jiujin even if he had nothing.

She didn’t say it because there was someone else beside him.

“Yes, I understand, little housekeeper.”

Yan Jinyu, “…Why am I the housekeeper? Is it wrong for me to care about you?”

Yin Jiujin chuckled again. His voice was sexy and inexplicably seductive. “Yes, yes, yes. Little Yu’er is always right. I’m very happy that you care about me.”

Yan Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled. “That’s more like it.”

“You’re driving, so I’ll hang up first. Be careful when you drive. The restaurant’s location will be sent to your phone.” With Yin Jiujin’s hearing ability, Yan Jinyu wasn’t surprised that he could tell that she was talking with the Bluetooth on.

“Alright, bye, Brother Nine.”

“Bye.”

“…” Yu Xiao at the side.

His expression was complex.

He already knew who was on the other end of the line.

Master Nine!

He had also seen Master Nine at his two cousins’ coming-of-age ceremony last year.

That was someone who would have an aura even when he stood there without saying or doing anything!

Back then, his overbearing uncle and aunt were terrified as soon as Master Nine appeared in the Yan Family. The other guests also looked very wary of Master Nine.

It was really hard for him to imagine that such a person would say the word “bye” in such an indulgent and gentle tone.

His mother said that Master Nine treated his eldest cousin well.

He knew that too. He could tell from the day Master Nine personally came to the Yan Family to pick her up at his eldest cousin’s coming-of-age ceremony.

However, he did not expect it to be so good!

This was more than well. He probably doted on her to the core, right?

He suddenly felt that his mother’s worry for his eldest cousin was unnecessary.

Based on Master Nine’s attitude towards his eldest cousin, no matter how much the Yin Family disliked his eldest cousin, Master Nine would definitely not let her be bullied.

Yan Jinyu’s phone vibrated. Yin Jiujin had sent her the reservation.

It was very fast. It was less than a minute after she hung up.

“The restaurant isn’t far. It’s just a 15-minute drive,” Yan Jinyu said to Yu Xiao, who was still feeling rather emotional.

Yu Xiao nodded blankly. “Alright.”

Yu Xiao thought that Yin Jiujin had already treated Yan Jinyu well enough. It was only when they arrived at the restaurant that he realized how well Yin Jiujin treated Yan Jinyu.

The two of them sat at the table and a waiter came to take their order.

Yan Jinyu handed the menu to Yu Xiao. Yu Xiao said that he wasn’t picky with food and didn’t know what was delicious here. He just let Yan Jinyu order.

Yan Jinyu didn’t order either.

She asked the waiter directly, “What else did the person who made the reservation say to you?”

“Master Nine said that if you don’t order, serve the dishes that he ordered for you two or this young gentleman has ordered and you don’t, serve one helping of the dishes for you too.”

Yan Jinyu handed the closed menu over. “Then serve according to what he ordered.”

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

Yu Xiao was speechless.

Not only did he make the reservation, but he even ordered the dishes?

Was a big shot like Master Nine someone who would do such a small thing?

No, but yet he did.

That made Yu Xiao even more uneasy. He got even more uneasy later.

He realized that although the dishes served were all the specialties here, his eldest cousin would eat a bit of every dish.

Obviously, these were all her favorite foods.

After dinner, they arrived at Yan Jinyu’s place…

Yu Xiao could not calm down anymore.

No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that this wasn’t his eldest cousin’s residence at all. It belonged to Master Nine!

Eldest Cousin and Master Nine were about to get engaged. It was fine for them to live together. Moreover, Eldest Cousin was already living with him after Master Nine brought Eldest Cousin out of the Yan Family in the past.

However, it was one thing for his eldest cousin to stay here and another thing for her to bring him here to stay!

Who was Master Nine?

He treated his eldest cousin specially, and so he even treated him specially because of her?

He didn’t know Master Nine very well, but he had more or less heard what kind of person Master Nine was from his mother.

Very few people could gain Master Nine’s favor, who was even very indifferent to the Yin Family’s members.

There were countless big shots who wanted to befriend Master Nine, but it was very difficult for them to meet Master Nine.

And he, this unknown nobody, was going to live in Master Nine’s territory!

It felt so unreal!

He felt indescribably complicated.

“E-eldest Cousin, this is… Master Nine’s residence, right? Is it alright for me to stay here?”

“Yes.” Yan Jinyu drove the car into the Mount West Villa.

The guards stood respectfully at the side.

Yan Jinyu looked at Yu Xiao and smiled faintly. “Yin Jiujin and I will be engaged soon. Aunt should have received the invitation to our engagement party before you came over.”

That was true, but…

Yu Xiao was still very terrified.

“Don’t think too much. It was Brother Nine’s idea to bring you here temporarily.”

Yu Xiao was surprised.

Master Nine’s idea?

Then, Master Nine’s concern for his eldest cousin had probably exceeded his initial guess.

He loved her so much.

Yes, he loved her.

He knew that he could live in Master Nine’s place entirely because of his eldest cousin.

“Yun’er has also lived here for a few days previously. You don’t have to feel too burdened.”

Yu Xiao’s eyes widened in shock. “Second Cousin?!”
