Chapter 124: Chapter 123: Saying One Thing and Meaning Another (3 Updates)

The cool expression paired with his swollen cheek was indeed very amusing.

But Xu Niannian dared not continue laughing, she strained to keep her lips straight, and said unconvincingly, "It’s not funny at all."

Jin Yu stretched his lips into a smile. As she tried to suppress her laughter, her eyes curved into crescent moons, the sparkling pupils hidden within, standing across from him with a winsome grin.

Suddenly, he found the girl somewhat adorable.

Not as intolerable as he had imagined.

The conversation returned to the previous subject, and Jin Yu said, "It’s not safe for you to stay in a guesthouse alone."

With a face like hers, going to a guesthouse alone, she’d easily attract the attention of people with ill intentions.

Having gone through the incident with Du Jiahao, Xu Niannian no longer took her safety lightly. Hearing his words, her heart tensed up,

Indeed, the guesthouses nowadays were filled with all sorts, and couldn’t compare to the well-managed hotels of later times.

There were indeed security risks for her living alone outside.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, she suggested, "Maybe I should just stay in the hospital ward."

As she said this, she moved past Jin Yu towards the hospital, but in the moment they brushed past each other, he grabbed her wrist.

He "tsked" and scratched his ear uncomfortably, "Come to my place. My mom is not home."

Wu Lan had gone to see Comrade Mr. Jin and wouldn’t be back for several months.

Xu Niannian didn’t even want to go to Jin Yu’s place when Wu Lan was around, let alone when she wasn’t. To be alone with him, huh...

Just as she was about to politely refuse, she heard Jin Yu say, "Don’t worry, we’re in a partnership now, I won’t do anything to you."

Partnership...

That’s right, Xu Niannian remembered the matter of having to share half of her income with him and immediately felt a painful squeeze in her heart.

Learning self-defense techniques cost her half her income.

But among the people she knew, the only one who seemed proficient in martial arts was Jin Yu. As for other men...

To be honest, Xu Niannian couldn’t easily trust them.

Jin Yu was, frankly speaking... possessed a strong sense of masculinity and, in a clear state of mind, disdained the idea of forcing a woman.

So Xu Niannian felt somewhat reassured by him.

But only somewhat.

In the end, Xu Niannian followed Jin Yu to his home. This was her second visit here.

The first time she came was for a blind date with Jin Yu, and her memories of what occurred here were not pleasant.

At the entrance, Jin Yu took out two pairs of shoes from the shoe cabinet, one his and the other his father’s.

The slippers he gave Xu Niannian were the ones he usually wore.

Jin Yu’s feet were large, and when Xu Niannian put them on, it was like dragging a boat, not convenient at all.

After taking a step, her feet pulled out, leaving the shoe behind, hungrily awaiting its owner, while the soft palm of her fair foot touched the cool floor.

Xu Niannian turned to look at Jin Yu, "...Whose shoes are these? They’re so big."

She tilted her head to look at him, her large watery eyes dark and luminous, radiating a compelling aura, with long eyelashes fluttering, a beauty mark under her almond-shaped eyes faintly visible, her beguiling charm quietly spreading from the corner of her eyes.

Jin Yu was somewhat dazed by the sight, his fingers curling at his trouser seams.

Not hearing a response, Xu Niannian’s brow furrowed in confusion, "Hey, Jin Yu, did you hear me?"

Her voice was soft and cottony, sultry and low, enticing a dry mouth and thirsty tongue.

Jin Yu unconsciously licked his lips, "Mine."

"Huh?"

Xu Niannian blinked, what was his? She had asked if he had heard her.

Jin Yu, "...The shoes, mine."

Xu Niannian, "Oh."

Her mind seemed to have a fish’s memory; one moment she asked a question, the next she forgot it.

She obediently uttered an "Oh," hanging her head. Her soft, wispy bangs draped over her full forehead, while her delicate cheeks remained smooth and fair.
