Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 49: A little oriole with a tough mouth
She raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips to show her goodwill, then stretched out her hand to ask for it, her eyes clear.

His voice was already hoarse: "Why are you calling me so early in the morning?"

Jian Yi knew very well that today was Monday and he had a morning meeting that he could not be late for no matter what.

She blinked her eyes and pretended to be innocent and said to him, "Mr. Jin, I am sincerely expressing my apologies."

Jin Yanchen chuckled, put his hand on the back of her neck, and gave her a long and deep French kiss in return.

If they continued to be entangled like this, they would probably waste another morning of spring. Jian Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore and leaned over to beg for mercy in his ear.

She complained to him that she had a lot to do today and was busy from morning to night, so she probably didn't have time to have dinner with him.

Jin Yanchen thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll pick you up at noon?"

"See if I'm free." Jian Yi supported his head and pretended to think.

"Why, you want to date someone in school?" Jin Yanchen chuckled, and asked very cooperatively, "Xiaoyi, do I have to queue up with you first to get a number?"

Jin Yanchen supported his arms on both sides of her and stared at her face for a while. The oppressive breath approached, and Jian Yi subconsciously tensed her body, but could not escape his drowning eyes.

"You, you." Jin Yanchen stretched out his hand and pressed her lips, but Jian Yi dodged it nimbly.

He laughed and said, "It's a little oriole with a tough mouth."
-
Today is the Jian family’s housewarming wedding banquet. The bottom floor of the Fuli Hotel has been booked, with twenty tables arranged. Ni Daming sits in the most prominent seat.

Jian Yi was called over to help. She stood at the door with a sullen face. She didn't look like a welcome guest, but rather as if she had some deep hatred.

Bai Hongmei glanced at her twice, afraid that she might act impulsively, and quickly pulled her aside.

"Your living expenses for this month, take the money and don't be so rude." Jian Chengfeng was busy welcoming guests, nodding and bowing all morning. He was holding back a lot of anger in his heart, and he couldn't help but scold her when he saw her, "You haven't been home for three or five days, who knows where you've been fooling around."

"How can I have a home? Did any of you tell me when the house was sold?"

Jian Yi clenched his fists tightly and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this the house that Grandpa left for Grandma? How can you just sell it?"

Jian Chengfeng sneered: "Grandpa left it to grandma, and mom left it to her son. I am the head of the family, so it is only natural for me to sell this house."

"Who did you sell it to?"

"Your uncle." Jian Chengfeng gestured. "The amount he gave is more than the compensation for the demolition. He is doing really well."

As Jian Chengfeng spoke, he forcefully pulled Jian Yi to their table to toast and say hello.

Although he criticized his daughter a lot, he was still proud of himself in his heart.

A top student from the Finance Department of Peking University, she is always beautiful and eye-catching no matter where she is in the crowd.

With good looks and a good resume, as long as she has the right connections, she can easily marry into a wealthy family.

If it wasn't for the purpose of finding out where the old house was, Jian Yi would never have come here today.

Bai Hongmei called one after another, and Jin Yanchen's eyes were dark and deep. Jian Yi had no choice but to agree at that time. He didn't expect that when he came back, he would face the most annoying social interactions.

Facing Ni Daming's face, Jian Yi called out reluctantly, "Hello, Uncle."

Ni Daming held a cigarette in his hand and slowly lit it on the table, saying meaningfully, "Xiao Jian, haven't you finished lighting the cigarette last time?"

Jian Yi took a deep breath and walked in slowly holding the plastic lighter.

Ni Daming pretended to be very kind and talked to her: "Did you know that your father bought a school district house for your brother near the Experimental Primary School?"

Jian Yi really doesn't know about this.

Ni Daming continued, "There's no room for you in the two-bedroom apartment. Why don't you come live with me? It's a big villa, close to your school, and I've reserved a room just for you."

Jian Yi sneered repeatedly.

She pressed the plastic lighter hard, and when the flames shot up, Ni Daming smiled triumphantly. Jian Yi also smiled at him, and then she reached out without hesitation and pressed down the cigarette butt that had just been lit with the bottom of the lighter.

At the same time, Ni Daming shouted.

The cigarette butts left burns on his hands, the choking smell of nicotine, perhaps mixed with the smell of burning flesh.

Jian Yi smiled silently in this smell. When everyone's eyes were focused, she raised her lips to a faint smile and acted apologetically.

"I'm sorry, uncle, this is the first time I light a cigarette for someone."

Ni Daming was the best at putting on airs in front of others. He secretly glared at her and acted like a friendly elder.

"It's okay, the little girl is too irritable, I'll go to the bathroom to deal with it."

Jian Chengfeng never expected this to happen, and was so angry that he reached out to hit her.

Jian Yi raised her head fearlessly and let him beat and scold her. It wasn't the first time anyway. She had a vague expectation in her heart, as if this slap would be a good thing, to completely break the fragile blood relationship, so that she could say goodbye to them happily.

Bai Fanghua came over and hugged Jian Yi. She held Jian Yi tightly in her arms and kept saying to her, "The child is still young. Why are you so angry in this situation?"

Bai Hongmei, for the sake of her reputation, also came over to stop them.

Jian Chengfeng finally stopped, took a deep breath, pointed at the door and said, "Get lost."

Jian Yi disappeared from their sight calmly. When she was about to leave, Bai Fanghua caught up with her and stuffed a shopping bag into her hand.

"I bought it when I went shopping in Hong Kong. I thought it would look good on you."

Thanks to Jin Yanchen, Jian Yi can now recognize many brands.

She had seen dresses of this brand a few days ago. It was a French brand that specialized in summer clothes. Jin Yanchen specially called the designer to Dongjiao to measure her size a few days ago.

She lowered her eyes and tried to keep her voice steady.

"Thank you, auntie. You treat me better than my mom."

"What happened just now, I..."

Jian Yi was interrupted halfway through his speech. Bai Fanghua was still as calm and gentle as ever. She held Jian Yi's hand with tears in her eyes, "That's what your uncle deserves. It's also because your aunt doesn't have the ability to support you. I'm over 40 this year, and I have to rely on him for some things. Please understand me..."

"Got it, aunt." Jian Yi replied, turning back and waving, "Then I'll go back first."

Bai Fanghua nodded and watched her leave, "You must study hard."

This lunch ended up being a joke. Jian Yi worked hard for the whole morning but didn't even have lunch.

She looked up at the hotel's carved and painted pillars and thought that it would be better to cuddle with Jin Yanchen in bed, at least that would make her feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

The front desk was busy, so Jian Yi took the opportunity to slip into the restroom at the end of the hotel corridor.

Standing on the public sink in the bathroom, she saw Ni Daming's black leather bag on it, and vaguely saw a corner of his blue shirt, with his head down, seemingly cursing.

There is a term in medicine called post-traumatic stress disorder. Jian Yi was not sure whether she had such symptoms. She only knew that every night after meeting Ni Daming, she would suffer from insomnia, anxiety, and nightmares.

"Ni Daming."

Jian Yi shouted loudly, her nails digging into her palms. No matter how scared she was, she was determined to dig this cancer out of her memory today.

"Today is just a warning. I will not give in to you. You also have to remember that I am not a child who knows nothing and can be tricked into going home by two pieces of candy from you."

Thinking of the past memories, Jian Yi became furious. He threw the briefcase heavily on the ground. Not feeling satisfied at all, he stomped his feet on it twice.
