The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 248: The Form Of Address From The Past

Qin Hao walked into Mei Feng and the first thing he saw was Huo Siyu standing there. Then, he saw Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling beside Huo Siyu.

Xi Fengling and Qin Hao knew each other, but he didn’t know Yan Jinyu.

When others heard that Yin Jiujin had brought back his long-lost fiancée, they had all investigated. Most of them had seen Yan Jinyu’s old-fashioned photo.

Only Qin Hao was an exception.

He didn’t investigate, nor did he ask further from the others.

What the outside world said about Yan Jinyu was what he knew about her.

A country bumpkin.

Of course, there were two reasons why Qin Hao didn’t investigate.

Firstly, he was not someone who would poke his nose into other people’s business.

Secondly, he respected Yin Jiujin, his brother.

However, now, be it the Xi Fengling he knew or the Yan Jinyu he didn’t know, Qin Hao only glanced at them indifferently. His attention was all on Huo Siyu.

“Rainy.”

The greeting was not overly enthusiastic nor distant.

His face was clearly very good-looking, but because of his expressionless face, he looked a little stiff.

He didn’t have much of an expression and gave people a stiff feeling. He looked a little honest.

Yes, honest.

She did not know why people felt that he who clearly had outstanding looks and temperament was honest.

He exuded a righteous aura.

He had the temperament of a soldier.

Honest and righteous.

This was Yan Jinyu’s first impression of Qin Hao.

It was also Xi Fengling’s first impression of Qin Hao.

However, they were all people who had experienced a lot and naturally wouldn’t think that Qin Hao was really an honest person like Huo Siyu said.

Huo Siyu smiled at him. “Why do you have time to come over?”

There was a hint of joy in her voice that she didn’t realize.

However, just because Huo Siyu didn’t notice it didn’t mean that Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling didn’t either.

Their gazes met.

But they didn’t say anything.

They paid Qin Hao even more attention.

Because, they realized that Qin Hao held more weight in Huo Siyu’s heart than they had expected.

“I thought that since you and your brother are in the capital, I cleared my schedule. Your brother rarely comes to the capital and since we’re engaged, as the host, I can’t neglect my future brother-in-law.”

There was really nothing wrong with him saying this in a formal tone.

However, for some reason, Huo Siyu felt that something was amiss.

But she could not pinpoint what was strange.

“Actually, you don’t have to be so polite. My brother came to the capital to see Brother Feng. You don’t have to entertain him.”

“Brother Feng?” Qin Hao looked at her. “Who is he?”

Qin Hao’s gaze was sincere. He looked like he was really just curious about who this person was. Only Xue Yi, who was following behind him, lowered his head and tried his best not to let anyone see the emotions in his eyes.

Xue Yi was the man who had come with Qin Hao and was the one driving.

Oh no, Boss was jealous.

Don’t ask him why he could tell that Boss was jealous just by looking at his back. He saw Boss rubbing his thumb and index finger of his lowered right hand.

This was a habit that Boss would have when he was angry.

Of course, up until now, no more than three people, including Boss, knew about this habit.

He was lucky to be one of them.

Who asked him to be the subordinate who followed Boss the longest?

“Brother Feng is the Second Young Master of the Min Family, Min Rufeng.”

“I came to the capital to accompany Brother to seek treatment from Brother Feng. You’re the eldest son of the Qin Family and you live in the capital all year round. You should have heard of the Second Young Master of the Min Family, right?” Huo Siyu asked seriously and did not notice anything wrong with Qin Hao at all.

It was probably because in her opinion, an honest person like Qin Hao would not be jealous.

“So he’s the Second Young Master of the Min Family. Of course I’ve heard of him.”

“Is Rainy very familiar with him?”

“Yes, we’re very close.”

“The capital seems big, but in reality, there’s only this little circle. After staying in the capital for a long time, people in the same circle will always bump into each other. If you bump into them a few more times, you’ll naturally become familiar with them.”

Qin Hao looked at her and the expression in his eyes was about to change when Xue Yi coughed dryly and greeted Huo Siyu with a smile, “Sister-in-law.”

“Xue Yi is here too.”

From the looks of it, Huo Siyu was already very familiar with the term “Sister-in-law”.

The emotions in Qin Hao’s eyes faded.

He glanced at Xue Yi.

Xue Yi pretended not to notice Qin Hao’s “unfriendly” gaze and smiled as he spoke to Huo Siyu, “It’s rare for me to have a break so Boss brought me out to see the world. Will we be disturbing Sister-in-law and…” He looked at Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling,”Sister-in-law’s friends? ”

“You won’t.”

“Oh right, let me introduce you. These two are my friends, Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling. Beauty Yu is the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City. Sister Fengling is the boss of this bar.”

“This is Qin Hao.”

The first thing that Qin Hao noticed was not Yan Jinyu whom Huo Siyu had just introduced, but the sequence of Huo Siyu’s introductions.

Usually, when introducing someone, people would first introduce the people they were closest to first.

So in his fiancée’s heart, he wasn’t the closest to her? He wasn’t even comparable to her friends?

This was…

No.

However, now was not the time to pursue this. He had plenty of time to slowly pull back the perception of his little fiancée that her fiancé was not as close as a friend.

As for now…

He looked at Yan Jinyu.

So this was the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, whom Second Yin was protecting like a treasure.

Ever since they met, there was a faint smile on her face. She looked like a very cheerful girl. Her eyes were clear and her smile was sincere. She looked pure and clean.

This was his first impression of the eldest daughter of the Yan Family.

Up until now, he rarely misjudged people.

But now, he had doubts about his first impression.

No matter how innocent a young mistress of a wealthy family was, it was impossible for her to maintain her purest appearance after such a huge change in her living environment, even if she treated money like dirt.

Carefree?

He did not think that the person who could smile when he sized her up and sizing him up in return was a carefree person.

“I’ve seen Young Master Qin a few times, but we haven’t officially met. I didn’t expect to meet you under such circumstances.”

Xi Fengling smiled charmingly and extended her hand, “Young Master Qin, nice to meet you.”

Qin Hao glanced at her and reached out to shake her hand. “Nice to meet you too.”

His little fiancée officially introduced them. It seemed like they were indeed close friends, even though he didn’t know how his little fiancée got to know Xi Fengling.

He retracted his hand and turned his gaze to Yan Jinyu again, “Eldest Miss Yan, I’ve long heard of your name.”

“You flatter me.”

Yan Jinyu smiled faintly, “I should be the one who has heard so much about Young Master Qin.”

Was Qin Hao an honest and straightforward person?

At first glance, it did look like that, but then, she did not think so anymore.

An honest and straightforward person would not stare at an unknown girl and size her up.

Indeed, Qin Hao had restrained his gaze very well when he was sizing her up. Others might not have noticed it, but she was the one being sized up. Even if she didn’t look up, she could still sense others sizing her up. Furthermore, she was sizing Qin Hao up too.

However, judging from the current situation, Qin Hao was still a reliable person.

At least, he did not treat Little Rain lightly.

This was obvious from the moment he entered and saw Little Rain with her and Meimei present.

It was not that they had an advantage over Little Rain in terms of looks, but if that man was very frivolous and had more than one person in his eyes, his normal behavior wouldn’t be to focus on that person he adored at first glance.

Forget about her, but Meimei was such an enchanting woman. If women were charmed by her, how could a man not look at her?

However, Qin Hao did not look at her.

“Is that so?” Qin Hao replied mysteriously.

“Yes, Little Rain mentioned you to me. Oh, Brother Nine also mentioned Young Master Qin to me. When I was looking through the old photos.”

Qin Hao was stunned, “Old photos?”

Both he and Second Yin didn’t like to take photos. There was only one old photo of him and Second Yin.

“Does Nine still have that photo?” He uttered the form of address “Nine” subconsciously.

Yan Jinyu’s gaze paused, and her smile deepened. “Nine?”

Realizing that he had misspoken, Qin Hao continued to keep a straight face. “It’s Yin Jiujin. In the early years in the army, my comrades casually called him by this name when we were joking around. It became my habit to call him that. However, after Second Yin retired, no one called him by that name anymore.”

“He doesn’t like it when people call him that either.”

Yan Jinyu could tell that Qin Hao’s last sentence was to remind her not to mention this form of address to Yin Jiujin when she returned.

Because Yin Jiujin didn’t like it. As long as she had some brains, she wouldn’t mention it to Yin Jiujin.

That was Qin Hao’s intention.

“I see.”

Yan Jinyu’s right hand had already subconsciously touched the “watch” on her left wrist.

Yin Jiujin actually minded the way his comrade called him so much.

It could only mean that the comrade who had called out this name was very important to Yin Jiujin.

Was it Liu Junqing or someone else?

Regardless of who it was, it meant that there was someone who held a very important place in Yin Jiujin’s heart once.

Tsk, she was unhappy.

Most importantly, Yin Jiujin hadn’t mentioned it to her.

She was even more unhappy.

Xi Fengling and Huo Siyu knew Yan Jinyu very well. Seeing that her expression didn’t change, but her smile was actually getting wider and wider and her hand was still on her weapon, they couldn’t help but panic.

The two of them didn’t know what stage Yan Jinyu’s “illness” had recovered to. They said anxiously at the same time, “Beauty Yu!”

This was a reminder, but it was more of a worry.

Seeing that everyone, including Qin Hao, was looking at them in surprise, Xi Fengling returned to her usual charming smile, “Beauty Yu, Young Master Qin, don’t stand here for now. If you have anything to say, let’s go sit in the private room and talk.”

At the same time, Huo Siyu waved to the waiter. “Please get me a packet of yogurt. Bring it over after it’s warmed up. Thank you.”

“Alright, Miss Huo, please wait a moment.”

Yan Jinyu looked up at them and sighed helplessly.

Their reaction was a little too big. She was no longer like she was before.

She was just a little unhappy. It wasn’t like she couldn’t control her emotions.

However, Yan Jinyu’s heart was still warm.

“Alright, let’s go to the private room.”

After saying that, she smiled at Qin Hao. “I don’t know what the photos that Young Master Qin is talking about look like, but when I was looking through Brother Nine’s old photos, I saw a photo of Brother Nine when he was in the army. There’s Young Master Qin on it.”

“It was at that time that Brother Nine mentioned Young Master Qin to me.”

Of course, that wasn’t the truth. As soon as she saw the photo, she recognized that the person beside Yin Jiujin was Little Rain’s fiancé, the eldest son of the Qin Family in the capital.

“I see.” Qin Hao looked calm, but his heart was not calm.

He still kept the photo…

The deeper their friendship, the greater the blow of betrayal.

Second Yin must have been trapped by this matter all these years.
