He was not in the same headspace as Vera.
That was why Yan Nuo rejected Vera.
“Good night, Vera,” he said, and went upstairs.
Vera stood rooted to the ground, her hands twisted until they were numb. Her beautiful face lost almost all its color.
The next morning, Ji Yinbing dressed up and went to the training ground. After putting on the weights, she ran ten kilometers with the other mercenaries. When she returned to the training ground in the backyard, Ji Yinbing walked for a few minutes before squatting down and unbuckling the weights.
She wiped the sweat off her face and looked up to see Yan Nuo walking towards her.
The man was wearing a pure black training uniform and combat boots. He held a gun in his hand.
This was the first time they officially met since he returned.
Ji Yinbing sized up Yan Nuo, who was also looking at her.
Yan Nuo could not hide his surprise.
Ji Yinbing looked even better now. Her facial features were exquisite and delicate. Her beauty had exceeded Yan Nuo’s expectations. The little radish head of the past had grown to more than 1.6 meters tall now. Her beautiful face was cold and calm. Due to the long run, her face was a little red, and Yan Nuo was momentarily dazed.
“Master.” When Yinbing called out to him, her voice wasn’t as timid as it had been years ago. Instead, it was more confident.
Yan Nuo was surprised.
He realized that compared to the timid little girl, he admired the girl who was now brave enough to look straight at him.
Yan Nuo casually threw the gun to Ji Yinbing and said, “I heard from my sister that your results are outstanding in all aspects?”
Ji Yinbing lowered her head slightly. She felt a little embarrassed to be praised by her master.
Yan Nuo suddenly said, “Wherever I point, you shoot. If you hit it, I’ll give you a birthday gift.”
Ji Yinbing was extremely surprised.
In two months, it would be her 15th birthday. Her master actually remembered her birthday!
Ji Yinbing held the gun and asked Yan Nuo, “Master, where do you want me to shoot?” She was 100% confident that she could hit the target.
Yan Nuo pointed at himself with his right hand and his index finger at his beating heart.
He said, “Here.”
Ji Yinbing’s expression changed drastically.
“Is Master serious?” Ji Yinbing’s voice was solemn.
Yan Nuo nodded. “Yes.”
“I understand.” After saying this, Yan Nuo saw Ji Yinbing pull open the safety catch, but she aimed the gun at her chest.
Yan Nuo was stunned. He was about to ask her what she planned to do when he heard Ji Yinbing say, “I’d rather die than let you die.”
The twenty-year-old Yan Nuo did not know that these words would come true when he was 37 years old.
She had almost lost her life for him.
Yan Nuo was helpless for a moment before saying, “I was teasing you.”
Ji Yinbing heaved a sigh of relief.
Ignoring the abnormal throbbing in his heart, Yan Nuo walked towards Ji Yinbing. He took the gun from Ji Yinbing’s hand and put it away before saying to Ji Yinbing, “What gift do you want? Pick it yourself. I’ll give it to you.”
Ji Yinbing said, “I don’t know what I want.” What she wanted was nothing more than to grow up healthy, study well, and control her own life in the future.
Yan Nuo had already given her all of this.
People should be content. Ji Yinbing did not dare to be greedy.
Yan Nuo said, “I haven’t been back for a few years. I don’t know what changes there have been in this city. How about you accompany me for a walk?”
“Okay.” Ji Yinbing suppressed the joy in her heart and agreed as calmly as possible.
She returned to her room to change into a clean set of clothes.
Ji Yinbing appeared in front of Yan Nuo in a white shirt and black tight pants. Her clothes were still Yan Yu’s, and Yan Yu had long matured. Yan Yu’s shirt was worn by Ji Yinbing, and her chest looked a little empty.
Yan Nuo took a look and asked, “My sister’s?”
“Yes.”
Yan Nuo touched it. Perhaps he should give the little slave an extra allowance every month to let her buy the clothes she liked.
When they went out, Yan Nuo subconsciously put on his sunglasses. When Ji Yinbing realized that the sunglasses he was wearing were the ones she gave him four years ago, she was especially happy. Yan Nuo unintentionally caught a flash of a smile on Ji Yinbing’s face and was stunned for a moment.
Was she that happy?
Yan Nuo jumped into the car and didn’t close the door.
However, Ji Yinbing consciously stood behind the car and did not get in.
Yan Nuo was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was India. No high-class clansman was willing to sit in the same car as a lowly person. He honked and Ji Yinbing ran over and asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”
“Get in.” Yan Nuo sounded a little unhappy, and his eyes that were covered by his sunglasses looked deep and distant.
Ji Yinbing was stunned for a moment before opening the back door. She was about to bend down and take off her shoes before getting into the car when Yan Nuo said, “You’re not allowed to be barefooted in my car.”
Only did Ji Yinbing give up.
She climbed into his Hummer and sat in the car. Ji Yinbing was a little nervous.
This was the first time she was sitting in a car.
She hid her excitement and curiosity and turned her head to look at the scenery flashing past outside the car window. She had fallen in love with this feeling. She thought that when she had money in the future, she would buy a car too. She would drive to many places to admire many beautiful sceneries, meet many people, and experience many things.
The car stopped in front of a beverage shop in the middle of Mumbai.
Yan Nuo asked Ji Yinbing what she wanted to drink. She thought for a while before saying, “Yogurt.” She still remembered the taste of the bottle of yogurt that master Yan Yu had given her.
Yan Nuo bought a huge cup of yogurt and a cup of coffee.
He used to be a picky person. After studying for so many years, he was used to drinking instant coffee.
The two of them held their drinks and walked down the street one after another.
Ji Yinbing looked at Yan Nuo’s tall back and thought that her master was really tall.
Yan Nuo suddenly turned around, before Ji Yinbing could retract her infatuated gaze.
“Why are you looking at me?” Yan Nuo had a low EQ and did not know how embarrassing it would be for Ji Yinbing to be asked such a question.
Ji Yinbing lowered her head and kicked a stone under her feet. She said in a low voice, “Master is really tall.”
“How tall?”
“As tall as the sky.” Ji Yinbing looked up at the sky and then at Yan Nuo.
The sky was Yan Nuo.
He was her sky.
Yan Nuo said that she was a liar before turning around to continue walking.
Gradually, Ji Yinbing became less reserved. She tried to chat boldly with Yan Nuo, and Yan Nuo actually answered her patiently. Ji Yinbing was completely relieved and started to ask some strange questions.
“Master, do all the people of America eat hamburgers?”
Yan Nuo said, “That’s junk food.”
“But I think hamburgers must be delicious.”
Yan Nuo listened to her continue.
“Master, are all the women in America very beautiful?”
“There are ugly ones too.”
“Are all the men very tall?”
“There are also short ones.”
