Chapter 51 Moving into His House
Yan Jinnian could hear the sarcasm in his tone.
He said in a nonchalant tone, "It wasn't her, it was her friend."
Xiao Qingyun scoffed, "You don't even spare her friends, Mr. Yan, you really love everything about her."
Yan Jinnian: "Are you sick?"
The garden was quiet in the night. The two exchanged a cold glance, then chuckled softly.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you." Xiao Qingnan pulled a cigarette case from his pocket. "Want one?"
Yan Jinnian: "I don't smoke."
"Tch!" Xiao Qingnian ignored him, lit a cigarette for herself, and put it in her mouth.
"After all these years, you still look the same! Living such a detached and ascetic life must have taken away so much of your joy!"
Yan Jinnian disagreed: "All happiness that requires external material things to achieve is not true happiness."
"Wow, you've turned dating into a philosophy?"
Xiao Qingnian looked disdainful and flicked the ash from his cigarette: "My employee looks dull-witted. I'm really curious what her friend is like, that she could catch your eye."
Yan Jinnian: "She's not stupid."
Xiao Qingnian: "Huh?"
Yan Jinnian glanced at him indifferently: "Don't speak ill of her friends behind their backs."
Xiao Qingnian: "..."
You're so capable, so aloof.
The cigarette in my hand emitted wisps of smoke.
Xiao Qingnian glanced silently at the man beside her.
Back when he was studying abroad, this person was as cold as ice.
Many beautiful girls from his school were interested in him, but he didn't even blink.
For so many years, he had always thought he was sexually frigid.
I never expected that I would actually have a woman I like.
That clueless employee, no matter how you look at her, doesn't seem like the kind of person Yan Jinnian would be interested in...
He took a sharp drag on the cigarette in his mouth: "Hey, no cigarettes, but how about alcohol?"
Yan Jinnian shook his head: "I won't touch it."
What a perfect man—he doesn't smoke, drink, or get close to women.
Xiao Qingnian's lips curled into a mocking smile.
As a man himself, what he found most hard to believe was that such a man existed in the world.
It's just that the door wasn't opened.
Yan Jinnian appears calm and composed, aloof as a mountain, but once he opens that door, he's bound to be crazier than anyone else.
He really wanted to see what this person looked like when he tore off his disguise.
"Brother, you still don't know the benefits of alcohol..."
Xiao Qingyun threw the cigarette at his feet and crushed it out.
Do you know what kind of man women find most irresistible?
Yan Jinnian glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Xiao Qingnian: "What women find most irresistible is a drunk man."
He said in a low voice, "Vulnerable, lonely, and helpless, this is when a man is most likely to evoke a woman's desire to take care of him."
“Especially when a man who is usually very distant suddenly becomes drunk, a woman’s inner side that she doesn’t want to show him will be brought out.”
Yan Jinnian's brows furrowed slightly.
"Don't believe me?" A sly glint flashed in Xiao Qingnian's eyes.
"If you don't believe me, try it yourself, Mr. Yan."
"Trust me, you'll thank me after you try it."
...
The moving company was waiting downstairs.
Anmi and Tang Cai only lived in the small, dilapidated house for a few months. They didn't have much stuff, but they managed to pack up a few large boxes.
The driver helped them unload the items and then loaded them onto the truck.
Tang Cai originally wanted the driver to take An Mi first, but An Mi was worried that it would be too late after dropping her off and it wouldn't be safe for Tang Cai to go back alone, so she placed another order online.
At 8 p.m., two small trucks, one heading east and the other west, each drove towards their magnificent new homes.
Anmi didn't have much luggage. The driver helped her put her things away at the entrance of her residence and then left.
She took out her key and opened the door, then opened the box at the doorway and moved the items inside one by one.
Besides the largest master bedroom, this house also has two suites of similar size with ensuite bathrooms.
Although Yan Jinnian said that this place was for her to live alone, she was still too embarrassed to directly occupy the master bedroom.
Anmi chose a suite on the right and stuffed all her things inside.
The house was originally perfectly decorated, and she didn't dare to leave her things lying around, for fear of affecting the overall aesthetics.
By the time everything was packed up, it was already 11 p.m.
She has to go to work tomorrow, so she doesn't dare stay up late tonight.
After taking a shower, Anmi went to bed.
I dozed off for a while and then vaguely heard someone ringing the doorbell outside.
One sound after another, sounding particularly eerie in the quiet night.
Who would come here in the middle of the night?
She was very nervous because it was her first day moving.
I've seen online before that some people specifically target residents in upscale neighborhoods to extort money from them.
Could she have been targeted while moving tonight?
Anmi immediately picked up the massage stick she had bought from the bedside and quietly moved barefoot toward the entrance.
The doorbell rang very regularly.
The person outside seemed certain that someone was inside; after pressing the button, they waited quietly for a while before pressing it again.
This made Anmi even more frightened.
She didn't even dare turn on the light in the entryway, crouching low as she slowly approached the doorbell and security camera.
The camera clearly captured the faces of the people outside the door.
"Yan Jinnian?"
She paused for a moment.
Didn't you say you were busy tonight? Why are you here at this hour?
And why does he look a little dizzy...?
Anmi quickly opened the door.
The person outside had been holding the door open with his hands, and when the door opened, the inertia propelled him forward.
Before Anmi could even speak, he pulled her along with his tall frame, sending her crashing to the ground behind her.
"ah!"
The massage stick in my hand fell to the ground.
With a dull thud of bones hitting the floor, she was pinned down by Yan Jinnian.
So heavy!
I caught a strong smell of alcohol.
The scent of alcohol mixed with the cool perfume assaulted her.
The skin that was pressed against Yan Jinnian's nose began to heat up rapidly.
The motion-sensor light in the elevator briefly turned on and then quickly went out.
In the darkness, Anmi heard the man's hoarse whisper.
"Baby, I'm so hot..."
