Chapter 28: Enemies Meet
Since she didn't know the person, Xu Niannian didn't purposefully lower her voice when she came here.
But the moment she spoke, she was taken aback.
She covered her mouth subconsciously. Why did her voice sound even more enticing than before?
Her voice was soft and tender, with a seductive lilt, capable of making anyone's body tingle.
Xu Niannian herself tingled.
Goodness gracious, this voice was truly tempting someone to their doom.
As no one replied for a while, Xu Niannian tried to walk toward the inner room where there was no door, only a string of door curtains.
Through the curtains, Xu Niannian saw two people inside.
One, a man in a suit with his back to her, and an old man facing her.
Seeing her approach, the old man greeted her with a warm smile, "Young lady, you've come to see the doctor, right? Please come in."
Xu Niannian saw that the man with his back to her was buttoning his suit and hesitantly asked, "Is it alright for me to come in?"
Old Wu glanced at Jin Yu who had finished buttoning up and, knowing Xu Niannian was being considerate, said with a laugh, "It's fine, he's all set."
Having buttoned his suit, Jin Yu decided not to intrude since Old Wu still had a patient to attend to.
"Old Wu, I'll take my leave."
After speaking, Jin Yu rose to leave, just as Xu Niannian was entering from outside.
The two walked towards each other, face to face.
The moment Xu Niannian saw his face, she was instantly shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Jin Yu clearly sensed her change in expression, paused his steps, and took another look at the woman.
The woman was wrapped up from head to toe, even wearing coarse cloth gloves on her hands.
Overall, she seemed quite ordinary, except for those beautiful eyes that were excessively so.
Bright, round, and large, her eyes were like those that could speak, brimming with the moisture of spring, at a glance they shone with a lustrous autumnal glow.
There was a sultry charm at the bottom of her eyes, making them a bewitchingly beautiful pair.
Yet unlike the provocative allure in her eyes, her clear and distinct pupils conveyed innocence and purity.
What kind of eyes were these?
They had an exotic beauty, interweaving complexity and contradiction, seductiveness with innocence, and radiance with purity.
"Is there something wrong?" Jin Yu snapped out of it and, seeing the woman look at him as if she had seen a ghost, asked puzzledly.
"No, nothing..." Coming back to her senses, Xu Niannian quickly covered her face and spoke.
This beast, how could he be here?
She definitely didn't want this beast to see her.
She still wanted to live her life well; how could she if he had seen her?
Seeing him in a black suit and with an air of someone who thinks he's the boss, Xu Niannian decided to keep her distance.
He looked far too dangerous.
She might as well consider the past incidents as food for a dog or a duck's romp.
But what kind of person was Jin Yu, the best at reading people's expressions and judging their moods? Could he possibly not have heard the concealment in Xu Niannian's tone?
As Xu Niannian tried to move forward, Jin Yu suddenly reached out to grab her and demanded sharply, "Who the hell are you?"
There were too many people trying to probe information about Jin Yu; he naturally wouldn't let any suspicious person slip by.
Xu Niannian was eager to get away from him, so she walked rather quickly.
Thus, instead of grabbing Xu Niannian's hand, Jin Yu pulled at the coarse cloth wrapped around her head.
With that tug, Xu Niannian spun around on the spot, her body uncontrollably falling backward.
Jin Yu reached out with one hand and caught her in his arms.
The blue coarse cloth flew up into the air, and time seemed to freeze at that second.
The air around them seemed to stop flowing as well.
Jin Yu, holding the woman in his arms, stared in astonishment, forgetting to react.
Xu Niannian, stunned that he had seen her, opened her mouth wide, unsure of how to respond.
Jin Yu's grip tightened slightly.
Through the coarse blue fabric, he could distinctly feel just how slender the waist of the woman before him was.
A waist so delicate it seemed it couldn't withstand a single embrace.
How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world?
On her exquisite face, that was almost perfect, Jin Yu's mind was flooded with a cascade of adjectives.
The woman before him had skin so pale it shone, with a texture so fine that not a single pore was visible. Her bright, captivating almond eyes stared at him in astonishment, like pools of spring water, glistening with enticing ripples.
Her lively gaze tensed up one's body, and her delicate beauty, with lips parting in surprise, was irresistibly charming.
Jin Yu's gaze deepened, and the hand around her waist tightened subconsciously.
With just one look, he had a reaction he shouldn't have had.
It was Xu Niannian who first snapped back to reality. Seeing his astonished yet unfamiliar gaze, she wondered if he failed to recognize her.
Although her features had not changed, her skin and complexion had undergone a significant transformation. Anyone familiar with her would definitely recognize her at first glance.
But not the man before her.
They had only met once.
With that thought, Xu Niannian quickly closed her mouth and calmly straightened her body, struggling to free herself from his embrace.
Jin Yu also came back to his senses because of her movements.
"Why did you pull off my headscarf..." Xu Niannian questioned with pursed lips.
Assured that the man before her did not recognize her, Xu Niannian's attitude took a complete one-eighty.
This beastly scum, indeed a beast, reacted immediately upon seeing a beautiful woman, pah, a scumbag.
Xu Niannian had realized his physical reaction when she came to her senses.
After all, it was quite evident, and she had been almost cradled by him previously.
Jin Yu suppressed the astonishment in his eyes and was very displeased with his own reaction.
At the moment, he couldn't care less if there was something odd about the person before him, and, with a cold glance, he left.
Xu Niannian's question went unanswered, leaving her stomping her foot in anger, such an ill-mannered scumbag.
Old Wu hurried to smooth things over, asking Xu Niannian what she was doing here.
In front of the elder, Xu Niannian couldn't bring herself to show her displeasure. She forced a polite smile and told Old Wu that someone at home was sick and that she needed to get some medicine for the cold.
Before heading back, Xu Niannian wrapped the coarse cloth back around her head.
The jeep in the yard had disappeared; without hesitation, she knew it belonged to that scumbag.
Pulling Xu Zhiqiang back home, Xu Niannian's first order of business was to brew medicine in the kitchen using the family's sand pot.
Thinking of encountering that scumbag in the county, Xu Niannian was simply seething with rage.
Scumbag, truly a disgusting creature.
To have such a reaction from one glance.
Even if she admitted that she was indeed overly enchanting after using the spring water, it shouldn't have been to the extent of having such a reaction from just one look.
Huh...
He is truly worthy of being a beast capable of committing rape, with nothing but lust on his mind.
Vulgar, filthy, contemptible, bastard.
She better not see him again, or else...
Or else what?
Xu Niannian hugged her head, despairingly leaning on the table. This damned beast, what could she possibly do to him? He clearly seemed like someone not to be messed with.
Even though Xu Niannian had traveled through time, she still just wanted to be a proper businesswoman, not worried about food and drink and making a lot of money.
As for someone who seemed better left unprovoked, she thought it best just to entertain the idea of how to teach him a lesson.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, in the C-district top-secret compound...
Jin Yu glared at the woman before him with a gloomy face, his sharp eyebrows twisted into several knots.
Wu Lan looked at her son with a heartache: "All Mom did was ask you to go on a matchmaking date, if you don't want to, then don't, why glare at your mom like that?"
