Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 22 Purchasing a Maid
Seeing his daughter's coquettish look, Lin Siyuan only felt funny:

"Why do you insist on a skilled girl?"

Lin Jinyan had a child's mischievous smile on her face: "From now on, I won't be afraid of danger when I go out to buy fun and delicious food."

Lin Siyuan: "This is peace and stability in Kyoto. Besides, who in Tai'an City will touch you?"

Lin Jinyan continued to shake Lin Siyuan's sleeves and said: "Oh dad! No matter how peaceful it is, there are traffickers who abduct children. Yan'er is so well-behaved and good-looking, so what's the point of being kidnapped? My brother has a martial arts master sent by his grandfather, and Yan'er is beside him. But there’s nothing.”

After finishing speaking, the three people in the room laughed out loud.Lin Siyuan smiled and said:

"You can't abduct a ghost like you who is not ashamed. Besides, how can a girl who is good at martial arts and loyal and useful be so easy to find?"

"I'm not in a hurry, so I can look for it slowly. Just don't tell your grandparents. I'll just mention it to my aunt. If you can find it, just look for it. If you don't have it, forget about it. I'm already that old, and Zhou Momo will be back soon. You take care of me and come to see me often. You have enough manpower, so you can just hold back on the purchase of girls. Dad, Yan'er knows that dad loves me the most, so dad will agree to my small wish. Brother, please help me, please help me."

Lin Jinan walked forward obediently. The two children shook Lin Siyuan's sleeves one by one and begged, until Lin Siyuan was helpless and said:
"Okay, okay, I promise, you two grinders."

Lin Jinyan smiled happily and said: "I know dad is the best! Then we have agreed that only the four of us will know about it, but we are not allowed to tell others."

Lin Siyuan smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, if we find the person, we must ask your uncle and grandpa to check the family background carefully."

Lin Jinyan nodded like a fool and said a bunch of flattering words, making Lin Siyuan laugh and curse:
"Why did it become so smooth after falling into the water?"

Lin Jinyan said seriously: "I probably learned to slide after staying in the water with the fish for a while."

The three of them laughed again, and while they were chatting and laughing, it was time for lunch. Lin Siyuan stayed behind to have lunch with a pair of children, and the atmosphere was warm and beautiful.

After dinner, Lin Siyuan took Lin Jinan back to the study to test his homework.

Lin Jinan walked behind Lin Siyuan and looked at Lin Jinyan with a pout. The resentment in his eyes made Lin Jinyan smile.

After seeing off her father and brother, Lin Jinyan was in a good mood and sat in the pavilion reading a book. The sun was gradually setting and the temperature was suitable. Lin Jinyan sat with her back to the sun and felt lazy.

When Lin Jinyan was reflecting on life in her heart, she heard Yulan walk in and report:
"Miss, Miss Yuexue is here to see you."

Lin Jinyan's face was cold and her fingers suddenly tightened, tightly gripping the book in her hand.

The warm and lazy atmosphere disappeared in an instant. Although the scenery remained the same, the mood was completely different.

Before she could speak, Zhou Yuexue's eager and friendly voice came from behind:
"Sister Jinyan, you are finally better. I have been so worried these days."

Lin Jinyan took a deep breath without turning around, slowly relaxed her fingers and placed the book on the stone table, with a smile on her lips.

Zhou Yuexue walked to Lin Jinyan and sat down, held Lin Jinyan's hand and asked with concern:

"But where else are you feeling uncomfortable? My sister has been praying to Bodhisattva for blessings these past few days. I heard this morning that you were relieved of all your worries. I was exhausted and didn't sleep until now. Sister, don't blame me."

Lin Jinyan raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Yuexue, with a look of distress and concern on her face, as if she loved her sister. She couldn't tell at all what kind of vicious heart lay beneath this soft and kind skin.
