Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 96 No one can interfere with the person I, Jin Yanchen, want to marry
Jin Yanchen put his cigarette between his lips and stopped talking. He said, "I have someone I want to marry."

These words shocked everyone in the room. Everyone raised their glasses and wanted to dig out some information from him.

Jin Yanchen drank two glasses and prepared to leave. He leaned against the side of the bar and lowered his head to light a cigarette. There was still a lot of noise in the room, and people were arguing about which girl he should marry and whether she would guarantee him a successful career or a bright future.

He took a slow puff of the cigarette, the strong and violent smell of the cigar bloomed in the air, and the light and lingering smoke unconsciously outlined a face in front of Jin Yanchen's eyes.

The little girl, as vague as clouds, appeared in front of him, sometimes far away and sometimes near, and said in a dignified manner, "Don't lose yourself for a man."

Jin Yanchen inevitably admitted that some things, like smoking, might just be viewed as novel and fun at first, but in the end no one would have expected that they would become a source of uproar in his stagnant water.

When people reach a certain high position, they like to confuse women with wealth. In fact, Jin Yanchen felt that the girl who was picked on by the uncles today might not be willing to have a "marriage in name only" with him.

He stood up from the sofa and asked Cheng Ning to put away the photos of the girls.

After walking two steps, Jin Yanchen slowly turned around, as if he remembered something. He held a cigar in his hand and said slowly, "No need to bother, uncles."

"No one can interfere with who I, Jin Yanchen, want to marry."

-

Jin Yanchen left the table early, so he naturally had no idea how big a stir this sentence had caused.

The second uncle who was humiliated by him called Jin Ming that night and said that he was rebellious and had no sense of etiquette, and that he actually wanted to break the ancestral rules passed down for thousands of years.

Jin Ming was silent for a moment, then asked, "What rule is he going to break?"

"I think his heart has been seduced by the woman outside, and he wants to learn those useless things. Brother, the situation in Kyoto changes every day, so we must make plans early to prevent any disasters."

Jin Ming didn't say anything. After a while, he laughed helplessly, "I can't help it. Who told me that I only have this son left now?"

Jian Yi's name appeared in the Jin family's sight. At that time, she didn't know that her every move was being watched by others. She was just worried about her future life.

She has no plans to go abroad, so she is undecided whether to continue her studies or go straight into employment.

Jin Yanchen turned his head and asked her, "Didn't you like France or Switzerland before? Why don't you go there if you have a chance?"

Jian Yi had long anticipated that Jin Yanchen would ask her this question. She propped up her chin and looked at him very frankly, "Because I don't have enough money, and the cost of living abroad is too high. I calculated that it would be very difficult for me to go there."

Jin Yanchen bent his fingers slightly, and he stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of her nose, "Is my money not enough for you?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head to peel an orange for Jian Yi. Jin Yanchen was adept at many things, but this was probably the first time that the young master had to wash his hands and serve others. After removing the veins and pits on an orange slice, the juice splashed all over his palm. Jian Yi smiled and leaned over to take a bite.

I don’t know if it’s because few people patronize this fruit plate, but the oranges in this bar are so sour that it’s almost blinding.

Jian Yi hissed, and laughter spread above her head. She deliberately bit her fingertips and refused to let go.

As expected, Jin Yanchen hissed a bit, then he lowered his head and said slowly, "Xiaoyi, are you born in the year of the dog?"

He reached out and turned up his collar, then smiled at her, "Come on, bite here."

Jian Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him. She sat cross-legged on the sofa and continued to read the postgraduate entrance examination materials issued by the school, mainly studying the tuition and miscellaneous fees of various colleges.

The sound of pages turning seemed out of place here, but Jian Yi was immersed in the book. She said as she read, "To be honest, I'm not very willing to use your money. It's not that I'm noble... I just don't want my life to change in any other way except loving you."

"I'll just follow my original plan. If I can save up some money, I'll go abroad. If I don't have money, there are other ways to go."

"So thoughtful."

"Am I included in this originally planned trajectory?" Jin Yanchen suddenly asked. He glanced at her with his usual frivolous smile on his lips, which seemed light and weightless.

Jian Yi's throat suddenly tightened. She subconsciously assessed his expression, and as expected, she could see nothing. He always had a casual attitude, as if he was playing around with the world. No matter where he was, it was always hard to tell his true feelings.

She paused for breath and replied in self-abandonment, "To be honest, no."

"I don't force our previous path. There have been a lot of rumors recently. I want to say that I don't need any promises, even if they are to coax me."

Jian Yi finally summarized it with eight very profound words: "Fate, shallow or deep, everyone has their own destiny."

Jin Yanchen chuckled softly, leaning back on the sofa, his dark eyes almost blending into the dark night, and said in an unfathomable way, "The world is hard to predict."

"Maybe you'll meet me somewhere down the road."

Jian Yi looked up at him, and she keenly realized that this sentence should have some other emphasis.

However, Jin Yanchen just put it down lightly. He lowered his head, and his eyes met hers inadvertently, like a sea, gently swallowing her.

"But it should be a way back."

"I mean, I wish you all the best, but if you're not, come back, I'm always here."

Jian Yi asked: "What if I never look back?"

"That's good too." Jin Yanchen spread his hands and looked at her with an open gaze. "Little girl, you keep walking forward with big strides. There's nothing wrong with that."

Jian Yi raised the corners of his lips slightly.

They didn't say anything else, but they had a tacit agreement.

Maybe it will be next winter, maybe tomorrow.

Because the day of separation is just around the corner, every day of love is worth commemorating.

Jian Yi stuffed the graduation intention form in the book into Jin Yanchen's hand and said, "Please help me make this decision."

If you can't make up your mind, you may have some other selfish motives.

Jian Yi hopes that she can have a memory of her stay with him.

Jin Yanchen pulled out a signature pen. He wrote with vigor and force, and his strokes were sharp, but he only stopped at the most basic information column.

He picked a dice from the table and put it in her palm.

"Just throw it away. If you are above three, you can continue to study for a master's degree."

Jian Yi was slightly stunned as she had never thought there was such a ridiculous way to play. She put her palms together and shook them vigorously, but before the answer was revealed, someone held her palms down.

Jin Yanchen turned his head to look at her, smiling confidently, "When the dice was thrown, didn't you have an answer in your mind?"

At this moment, Jian Yi felt as if the clouds and mist were being cleared away.

All the pros and cons were put aside, and Jin Yanchen just wanted her to follow her heart.

His eyes were like dark wine, hazy and unreal, looking at me lazily, as if to say, "What are you afraid of? I've got you covered."
