The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned Novel - Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Scheming Jinyu

Later on, Yin Yuhan and Qin Jianjia returned to the villa.

Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin walked outside for more than half an hour before returning hand in hand.

After stepping into the villa and seeing the Yin Family members sitting on the sofa in the living room, Yin Jiujin’s emotions were no longer affected.

He was in a very, very good mood now.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were gentle.

Perhaps Yin Wuzhan’s words had worked, Min Qinglan simply looked up at them. Even though her gaze would still be unhappy when it swept past Yan Jinyu, she didn’t speak again and quickly retracted her gaze.

It was as if what she didn’t see couldn’t hurt her.

Min Qinglan wasn’t stupid either. Everyone was standing on her opposite side. Once she objected, she would become the public enemy. Even if she had any objections to Yan Jinyu, she wouldn’t say it out publicly.

Yan Jinyu looked at them. When they looked over, especially when the three people other than Min Qinglan looked over, she nodded slightly and retracted her gaze.

She looked up at Yin Jiujin. “I’ll go make you a birthday cake now. Are you going upstairs to rest?”

She remembered that she went to wake him up at five.

However, she forgot that they hugged and slept for a while after that.

“I’ll accompany you,” Yin Jiujin said.

“There’s no need to. If you accompany me when I’m baking a cake for you, won’t it be equivalent to you baking with me? This is the cake that I want to make for you. Wouldn’t the meaning be different if you interfere?”

“I told you, this is my first birthday with you. I want it to be more meaningful.”

Wouldn’t it be more meaningful if the two of them baked the cake together?

However, Yin Jiujin didn’t say that. He only raised his eyebrows indifferently and said, “I won’t interfere. I’ll accompany you by the side.”

Yan Jinyu looked at him deeply.

Clingy.

Since she had already decided on him, she naturally had to indulge him a little.

He was so clingy, so she let him be.

Anyway, she was actually quite happy to see the awe-inspiring Master Nine clinging to her in front of outsiders.

“Then let’s make a deal. Don’t interfere.”

“Mm-hm.”

Yin Jiujin took off her jacket and hung it on the clothes hanger at the side. He led her to the kitchen and personally picked up the new apron Aunt Cheng had prepared for her to put on.

Yes, a pink apron.

Yan Jinyu no longer had the energy to complain about this color.

She was actually slowly getting used to it.

That was true. Even she was surprised.

Aunt Cheng pointed the ingredients to Yan Jinyu and left the kitchen.

Of course, her aunt smiled.

In the kitchen, Yan Jinyu took out her phone and searched for the steps to bake a cake. She then simply swiped a video of baking a cake and handed the phone to Yin Jiujin, who was leaning lazily against the kitchen door and looking at her.

“Brother Nine, I’m going to start now.”

Yin Jiujin smiled and nodded. “Yes.”

At first, it was fine. Yin Jiujin’s expression was gentle, and his gaze was locked on Yan Jinyu. However, the more he looked, the more Yin Jiujin’s eyelids twitched.

Can you imagine the scene of a thin “golden thread” flying out from her wrist and accurately landing on the eggbeater without her even turning back to take out the eggbeater?

He wondered how long she had practiced to excel at such a precise technique.

He then saw her stirring the flour and putting the mixture into the oven after she was done beating the eggs. As she cut the decorative fruits, she spun the kitchen knife skillfully on her palm.

Then, just from the sound of the kitchen knife landing on the chopping board, one could tell that her knife skills were extraordinary.

Yin Jiujin suddenly recalled the calluses on her hands when he first met her.

Now since he had nourished her hands, the calluses had become very faint.

Presumably, the weapons she needed to familiarize herself with on Ghost Slaughter Island shouldn’t be limited to the thin “golden thread” on her hand only.

At the thought of this, Yin Jiujin’s heart constricted uncontrollably, and the smile in his eyes couldn’t help but disappear.

If the Ghost Slaughter Island had not been destroyed, he would definitely make Ghost Slaughter Island pay the price!

Yan Jinyu, who was cutting fruits, sensed the change in his mood. She turned to look at him, “Brother Nine, what’s wrong?”

Yin Jiujin restrained his emotions and smiled faintly. “Nothing. I just feel that you don’t look like you’re making a cake for the first time. You seem to be very familiar with it.”

“This is my first time making it. Brother Nine, didn’t you see me searching for the steps on my phone just now? Not only is this my first time making a cake, but it’s also my first time entering the kitchen to make something personally. I’ve said that I learn things very quickly, so even if it’s my first time making it, I can still do it very well.”

She raised her chin slightly and said proudly, “Brother Nine, I’ve told you many times that I’m very formidable. Do you believe me now?”

She looked like she desperately wanted to be acknowledged again.

She was so childish.

The expression in Yin Jiujin’s eyes softened. “Yes, I believe you now.”

Yan Jinyu, who had finally obtained his recognition, grinned happily. She turned around and ran towards Yin Jiujin, kissing him on the cheek.

It was supposed to be a scene that was filled with “pink bubbles”, but Qin Jianjia was still shocked by it when she decided to come to the kitchen to take a look after hesitating for a while.

Because Yan Jinyu was still holding a sharp kitchen knife!

The way that she pounced at Yin Jiujin made Qin Jianjia think that she was going to stab Yin Jiujin with the kitchen knife.

She was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweat!

When she saw Yan Jinyu’s actions, her suddenly tensed-up heart finally relaxed.

She sighed inwardly. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have taken the risk of being a third wheel. She was originally a little worried that Yan Jinyu didn’t know how to bake a cake, so she came over to take a look and give her pointers…

Alright, this was her retribution for trying to be a third wheel.

After kissing Yin Jiujin, Yan Jinyu naturally saw Qin Jianjia, who had appeared outside the kitchen. She, who was blocked by Yin Jiujin, stuck her head out and looked at Qin Jianjia. “Sister-in-law, why are you here?”

At that moment, she was still holding the kitchen knife.

Qin Jianjia’s eyelids twitched.

“Y-Yu’er, don’t hold the kitchen knife like that. Be careful so you don’t hurt yourself.”

Yan Jinyu looked at her and then at the kitchen knife in her hand. “Oh, Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry. I’m very familiar with using the knife. I won’t hurt myself.” After saying that, she hooked her fingers on the handle of the knife and swung the knife beautifully in her hand.

“…” Qin Jianjia.

An expert!

If this wasn’t a kitchen knife but a long sword, she would definitely look very awesome.

But… this was a kitchen knife!

She could even swing the kitchen knife so handsomely. H-how did she train that skill?

Alright, it seemed like even a longsword wasn’t that easy to master either.

“Yu’er, have you practiced before?”

Yan Jinyu smiled, looking like she didn’t know what she was asking. “What?”

“I say, y-you’re so good at using a kitchen knife. Have you practiced it before?”

“No, who would practice a kitchen knife for no reason? It’s just that when I was in school in the past, I liked to turn the pen in class and figured out the trick.” As she spoke, Yan Jinyu glanced at Min Qinglan, who was standing behind Qin Jianjia with a smile on her face.

Yes, she did it on purpose just now.
