Chapter 163: Chapter 162: In Love (2 Updates)

Snow-white skin that dazzles the eyes, as pure and white as jade; a slender and fair swan neck; rounded shoulders; beautiful and sexy collarbones... and two adorable feet.

Xu Qiang stared dumbly at Xu Niannian, scanning her from bottom to top, swallowing his saliva uncontrollably before finally moving his gaze to her face.

Her stunningly beautiful face unexpectedly invaded his field of view, beautiful enough to take one’s breath away.

Xu Qiang was so dazzled he was at a loss for words, his limbs stiffened, and he muttered, "Cousin, cousin... I’m in love."

It was his voice that snapped the similarly dazed Jin Yu and the still confused Xu Niannian back to reality.

Jin Yu cursed under his breath, covered Xu Qiang’s face with one hand, and pushed him back.

Without caring where he fell, Jin Yu strode out of the kitchen, slammed the door with a bang, took the just-awakened Xu Niannian in his arms, and walked toward the room, his handsome face dark with anger.

With a look of complete bewilderment, Xu Niannian said, "Hey, Jin Yu, what are you doing?"

Only now did she speak in a subdued voice, restraining her enchanting vocal tone, but even so, it was incredibly seductive to Jin Yu’s ears.

"Shut up."

Holding her, Jin Yu reached the room, caught her with one hand, and with his free hand, he flipped the blanket open, stuffed her inside, and wrapped her up tightly.

His movements were swift and fluid, completing all actions within one minute, starting from the moment he picked her up.

His speed was startling.

His movements were fierce like a tiger, while Xu Niannian was as dazed as a rabbit, still utterly unaware of the situation.

Looking at his dark expression, a bewildered Xu Niannian asked him, "What’s actually wrong with you?"

As she spoke, she tried to lift the blanket, but Jin Yu held it down firmly.

"What are you doing?" Xu Niannian was genuinely annoyed this time.

Jin Yu’s thin lips moved, his pitch-black eyes abyssal, and it took him a long time to suppress the desire and anger that surged up because of her.

He tried to make his tone sound less harsh and stern, "Take a look at what you’re wearing before you speak."

"Clothes?" Xu Niannian blinked, her fingers brushing the fabric of her garment beneath the blanket. The silky touch abruptly woke her up.

Oh my god, she had actually run out wearing her pajamas.

She suddenly remembered there were other men in the kitchen, and Xu Niannian instantly covered her face with her hands, distraught.

Ah... I can’t show my face.

If this were in modern times, dressing like this would be quite normal, and although she used it as a nightgown, it was made very conservatively; nothing that shouldn’t be exposed was exposed.

But this wasn’t modern times!

And the most important point, the allure of the body she inhabited was too great; dressed like this, she looked lascivious no matter how one looked at her.

She ran out dressed like this, which made Jin Yu erupt with fury.

If it had been just him, it would have been fine, but the problem was that two other men saw her, and he could hardly contain himself.

But now, seeing her covering her face in embarrassment and appearing so pitiful, he suddenly felt a softness in his heart.

"It’s okay, don’t take it too seriously. It’s not a big deal," he said, feigning magnanimity to comfort her.

However, his heart was already filled with smoldering jealousy.

Xu Niannian was not the type to make a fuss. After about a minute of awkwardness and a cry of distress, she had essentially cured herself, reasoning that she hadn’t exposed anything anyway, just her arms and shins.

Upon realizing this, and hearing Jin Yu’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "You seem to be quite different from those old-fashioned thinkers; rather open-minded."

On hearing this, Jin Yu’s forehead veins pulsed furiously. Open-minded? If he wasn’t worried about her being upset, would he say such a thing?

Concerned that she might dress like this again in the future, Jin Yu quickly added, "You’re not allowed to wear this kind of clothing again."

Xu Niannian blinked and shot back, "I find you quite meddlesome, considering we’re not really engaged."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yu’s eyebrows shot up, then furrowed as if they were caterpillars. How was it not real?

It had to be real, damn it, it could only be real.

But those were words he could only keep to himself. As he scowled, Xu Niannian laughed, "Still, thanks for the reminder."

That’s more like it, Jin Yu’s caterpillar brows instantly smoothed out.

Xu Niannian sat up wrapped in the blanket, and said earnestly to Jin Yu, "But shouldn’t you leave now? I need to change."

Jin Yu: "..."

On the other side, Xu Qiang, who had been pushed backward and had fallen to the ground, touched his burning face and looked at Xu Zhiqiang, "That beauty just now..."

"My sister," he paused for a moment, then added, "Your future sister-in-law."

That single sentence shattered the beating heart of Xu Qiang like glass.

Fuck, she’s his sister-in-law?

Too damn seductive, wasn’t she?

No wonder his monk cousin had betrayed Buddhism to embrace the secular life.

With such peerless beauty, he feared that if the entire Monk Temple saw her, they would all abandon their posts and collectively betray Buddha.

Such a supremely beautiful woman was his sister-in-law?

Xu Qiang suddenly felt like he had been wounded, right in the heart.

The object of his love at first sight...

Thinking of this, Xu Qiang let out a "howl" and knelt on the ground, beating his chest, "I’ve been dumped."

This was the first time Xu Qiang had experienced love and been dumped within a single minute.

Xu Zhiqiang looked at the man freaking out on the ground, his mouth twitching.

Because Xu Zhiqiang had grown up with Xu Niannian, he had gotten used to her face, and since she was his biological sister, no matter how beautiful Xu Niannian became, in Xu Zhiqiang’s eyes, she was still just his sister.

He wasn’t even amazed, he just froze for a moment.

And the moment of stupefaction was simply because the impact of her appearance was too much.

Not a single impure thought crossed his mind.

In the evening, four people sat at a table, Xu Niannian was too tired today, so Xu Zhiqiang cooked the meal.

The taste couldn’t compare to Xu Niannian’s, and it was even just salty.

At the dinner table, Xu Qiang’s eyes whirled around staring at Xu Niannian.

Jin Yu knocked heavily on the bowl and warned him bluntly, "Pack your things tomorrow and get the hell back home."

Xu Qiang: "..."

As someone who had been dumped, Xu Qiang didn’t want to talk to Jin Yu, the winner in life, and instead turned to look at Xu Niannian, "You’re my cousin-in-law?"

His attitude was extremely enthusiastic.

Xu Niannian: "..."

So this was Jin Yu’s cousin. From the moment she changed her clothes until dinner, Jin Yu had not shown the slightest intention to introduce him to her.

He even forbade the man from introducing himself.

It was only now that she had heard him speak a complete sentence.

Cousin-in-law?

She was surprised for a moment, turned her head towards Jin Yu, and asked with her eyes, "Is this your cousin?"

Unfortunately, Jin Yu didn’t understand, or pretended not to understand, and simply said, "Don’t mind him, just treat him like air."

Xu Qiang: "..."

"Hey, cousin, aren’t you being too harsh? At the end of the day, I’m still your cousin."

Jin Yu raised an eyebrow at him, his gaze sharp and menacing.

Xu Qiang had no choice but to obediently bow his head and continue eating his meal. Partway through, he raised his head to ask Xu Niannian, "Will you annul your engagement to my cousin?"

In his heart, he was thinking, just nod your head, just nod your head, if you nod I’ll chase you.

Xu Niannian hadn’t expected him to ask such a question in front of Jin Yu. She blinked in astonishment, not understanding why.

Jin Yu’s fist clenched with a crack and he slammed his chopsticks down with a "snap", then grabbed Xu Qiang by the back of his collar with one hand and dragged him out like a dead dog.

Xu Qiang was so scared he was beside himself, desperately waving his hands, "Hey, cousin-in-law, save me, save me..."

Xu Niannian felt her head swell as she covered her forehead. The relatives of the Jin Yu family were truly full of idiots.

His mother was one, and now here was a cousin.

They were still just engaged, yet he was already calling her cousin-in-law.

She and Jin Yu were in a fake engagement, which was sooner or later to be annulled.

But considering her own brother often called Jin Yu ’brother-in-law’, Xu Niannian didn’t bother to waste her breath on this matter and didn’t make an effort to correct it.

Suddenly, a series of ghostly wails and howls came from outside the courtyard. Not long after, Jin Yu walked in; following behind him was a "bashful" Xu Qiang.

The reason "bashful" was used to describe him was because Xu Qiang walked in with his legs clenched and head bowed.

The Jin Yu family had good genes; Xu Qiang was a very handsome boy.

Seeing him walk like that, Xu Niannian’s mouth twitched.

It was only when he got close that Xu Niannian discovered the reason for his bashfulness.

His face was swollen and bruised, battered severely, it was a pitiful sight.

After that, Xu Zhiqiang dared not raise his head to chat with Xu Niannian anymore, behaving very obediently.

Xu Niannian suddenly found it rather amusing.

After dinner, Xu Niannian returned to her room, and Jin Yu entered carrying a large roll of oilcloth, wrapped around plain white cloth which Xu Niannian didn’t recognize.

"What are you doing with that?" she asked.

"Guess what’s inside," he replied.

Xu Niannian rolled her eyes, full of black lines, "How would I guess? Who knows what you’re carrying out of the blue."

Jin Yu liked to see her roll her eyes, finding it especially captivating and lovely.

"It’s something you need," he said.

Jin Yu didn’t tease her any longer and directly unwrapped the white cloth to reveal the oilcloth inside.

Xu Niannian had gone through every big and small shop in Nancheng County to find oilcloth and came up empty-handed.

At first sight of the oilcloth, she became so excited that she threw off the covers and jumped out of bed.
