Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Jin Yu’s Lie (1 Update)

She almost slapped Jin Yu again, and Xu Niannian was terribly embarrassed, unable to assert herself as she used to.

After all, he was always the one who made mistakes first in the past.

"Why haven’t you gone back yet?" Xu Niannian scratched her ear, embarrassed, her fair ear tips blushing faintly red.

It seemed that this bad habit had to change; although him suddenly getting so close to her wasn’t right, it didn’t warrant a slap.

Jin Yu raised an eyebrow, taking in her embarrassment.

"I don’t plan on going back," he said.

"Eh?"

Xu Niannian was dumbfounded, tilting her head to look at him, her big wet eyes blinking, "You’re not going back?"

"Yeah, I don’t plan on it. I’ll just stay here. I cleaned the room next door."

???

Xu Niannian was a bit stunned and, realizing later than sooner, felt her long-missing temper rise.

"What do you mean? Wasn’t this place supposed to be for me to live in?"

She puffed up her cheeks and glared at him, her almond-shaped eyes wide and round, watery like a polished piece of Black Agate, and because she was glaring at him, her slender fair neck strained as she lifted her chin slightly.

As Jin Yu looked down, his gaze naturally followed the whiteness of her neck downwards.

Her white shirt was unbuttoned at the top, revealing two spots of creamy white below...

Not wanting to be slapped again, Jin Yu quickly averted his gaze to something else, "Isn’t this letting you live here?"

To divert his gaze, Jin Yu lifted his chin, looking up at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle.

Accidentally putting on an arrogant expression, Xu Niannian couldn’t help grinding her teeth, "But you didn’t say you’d also be living here."

Jin Yu let out an "Ah" sound, "I didn’t plan to live here either, this was your mother’s idea."

"What?"

Hearing that it was Yang Cuihua’s idea, Xu Niannian’s puffed-up face deflated like a balloon pricked by a needle.

"My mom’s idea?"

Xu Niannian was flabbergasted; Yang Cuihua indeed had mentioned this to her, but she didn’t expect Yang Cuihua would actually tell Jin Yu...

God, her mother really went ahead and said such things to Jin Yu.

"Didn’t you say in the car earlier that my mom just asked you to take good care of me?"

Xu Niannian recalled asking him this question while driving over from her home.

Jin Yu was calm and unruffled, deliberately putting on an impatient look as he lowered his head.

"Your mom said the place where you live is too big, it’s not safe for two siblings. She asked me to keep an eye on you. I’ve already promised your mom. You know what you look like; if something really happened, your mom would hold me responsible. What am I supposed to give her then?"

When she was packing at home, Yang Cuihua had asked where Xu Zhiqiang was.

Xu Niannian told her he was busy looking for shops in the county, and that’s why she didn’t suspect anything.

Moreover, to avoid worrying her, she didn’t even dare to show the scar on her forehead, covering it with her hair.

What Yang Cuihua cared about most was her safety. It wasn’t impossible for her to entrust Jin Yu the responsibility for her safety.

"But it’s inconvenient for me if you live here," Xu Niannian puffed up her face, "How about this, my mom doesn’t know whether you live with me or not. You go back first, and later I’ll just tell my mom you live nearby."

Jin Yu could tell that Xu Niannian genuinely didn’t want to live with him, not even in separate rooms.

Feeling a sudden lump in his chest at that thought.

Feeling irked, Jin Yu scowled, "Why can’t you understand what I’m saying? What if something happens later and your mom holds me accountable? I can’t take that responsibility."

Xu Niannian felt a headache coming on, "But you can’t live in the same house as me, what would people think? We’re not even officially engaged."
