The student whose mouth was covered immediately looked around alertly. Seeing that everyone was focusing their attention on him, he realized that he was a little scared and covered his mouth as if to hide his mistake.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything..."

"Have you finished your homework? If not, Zhou Pa Pi will criticize you again."

"Oh, I haven't written a single word. Lend it to me so I can copy it!"

As they were talking, a few students asked the proprietress to make a bowl of wontons, and then they occupied the table and started to do their homework.

The proprietress seemed to be accustomed to the scene before her. She just found a rag to wipe the oil stains on the table to prevent the children's homework from getting dirty.

It has been a few years, but I didn’t expect that children nowadays still like to lie here and do their homework as much as she did back then.

"You kids! You really come to me every day to do your homework..."

The proprietress laughed and joked.

When Yin Jiu heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised up, and he slowly swallowed the last bite of wonton.

Having said that, I didn’t expect these people to have such wild imaginations.

He spent a lot of effort, spent resources and laid a back-up plan for a useless person, and even his own daughter was used as a stepping stone. If Yin Yue was really not a member of the Yin family, Yin Shangfan would probably have fainted in the toilet crying by now.

Yin Jiu didn't take these people's words to heart and just treated it as a joke.

When he had only a little left, he received a message from Lu Cenyan. Looking at the location he sent him, it was exactly the entrance of the snack street. Yin Jiu ordered another bowl and shared the location with him, asking him to come directly.

five minutes later--

A man in casual clothes walked towards the main intersection of the snack street. He looked back and forth at the stalls on both sides, looking for the familiar figure.

Perhaps it was because Director Lu Cenyan was too eye-catching, and people passing by would always take a few more glances at him, but the solemn and murderous aura he exuded was too strong, which blocked many people who wanted to approach him. He made people intimidated and kept their distance, causing a path to be automatically cleared around him.

Since he was a child, Cen Yan has always been a highly-watched figure on the mainland, and he is no longer surprised by the scene before him.

But he still remembered Yin Jiu's previous advice - to be fully armed when going out.

Thinking of this, he put on the mask obediently.

Jiang Zhou, the driver following behind Lu Cenyan, was speechless when he saw this.

No way, boss, you're really making it more obvious by covering your face now.

And now the main trend is a handsome guy with an atmosphere.

This kind of man who doesn't show his face but has a good figure and good temperament might be even more eye-catching than before.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhou's prophecy came true as he guessed.

Before he had walked far, Lu Cenyan was stopped by several girls and asked to add their contact information.

Jiang Zhou had no choice but to act as a human wall to protect the boss. With such a high monthly salary, he was known for being flexible and adaptable. Even if these people whispered about his ugliness, he would accept it without any expression.

Finally, Jiang Zhou found Yin wine at a roadside stall in a remote corner, and his eyes almost filled with tears.

I am so touched!

"Come here, Xiao Lu!"

After seeing Lu Cenyan, Yin Jiu immediately pulled the stool next to him and motioned for him to come over.

"I asked the boss lady to make wontons, would you like some?"

When the two came over, Yin Jiu noticed Jiang Zhou at the back. She enthusiastically patted another spot next to her and raised her eyebrows: "Xiao Jiang, come and sit down!"

"No, no!"

Jiang Zhou repeatedly made gestures to Erkang to reject Yin Jiu's kindness, and made up an excuse to leave.

The couple was having dinner together, so it was fine for him to just be the driver, but there was really no need for him to pretend to be a third wheel.

After Lu Cenyan sat down, he looked at Yin Jiu and asked, "Why did you think of coming to dinner?"

"I haven't been back for a long time. I miss it a little. The lady boss of this restaurant is very nice. I used to order wontons from her house to finish my homework..."

Come to think of it, it was several years ago.

As time goes by, things and people have changed.

It happened that the proprietress just brought up the wontons at this time. She saw a man sitting next to Yin Jiu, smiled and nodded to Lu Cenyan, then asked Yin Jiu, "Little girl, is this your uncle?"

"..."

The smile on Yin Jiu's face obviously froze, and he subconsciously turned around to look at Lu Cenyan. The latter had a tense expression and a stern face that was intimidating without even being angry. Yin Jiu always felt like he had done something wrong, and he felt uneasy.

"You misunderstood, this is not my uncle..."

"Oh..." The man seemed to be only a few years older than the girl. The proprietress tried again, "Is that your brother?"

"It's my husband."

"..."

"Ah...husband? I was telling you two look like a good couple..."

Now it was the boss lady's turn to make small talk.

He smiled awkwardly, placed the bowl in front of Yin Jiu, and immediately turned back to the store.

Until the proprietress's back disappeared from their sight, Yin Jiu couldn't help laughing at Lu Cenyan's tense face and serious expression.

“Hahahaha…Uncle…”

Yin Jiu teased Lu Cenyan, tilting her head and pointing chopsticks at the man, her expression was smart and lively, especially her eyes which were surprisingly bright.

Lu Cenyan probably didn't expect that he was only five years older than Yin Jiu and could be mistaken for her elder. The corners of his lips were tense because he probably found it difficult to speak.

"Am I really that old?"

"Is it possible that I look younger than I actually am?"

Yin Jiu spoke seriously, but it still made Lu Cenyan fall into self-doubt.

"Smile more. You always have a stern face like the whole world owes you millions. Do you know how scared I was when I first saw you?"

Yin Jiu pouted and accused Lu Cenyan word by word.

Lu Cenyan looked over and said, "Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

That's not the case.

"Do you understand what bloodline suppression is?"

"don't know."

A hint of confusion appeared in Lu Cenyan's eyes at the right moment.

"It's like a cat seeing a mouse, a student meeting a class teacher, or an employee seeing their boss. They are instinctively afraid and terrified."

Yin Jiu gave a simple analogy.

Lu Cenyan knew that Yin Jiu was frightened and scared when he first saw him.

However, rather than saying it is bloodline suppression, it is more intuitive to say that it is ordinary people’s fear of power.

A powerless girl meets a man who is powerful enough to cover the sky with one hand in North City. This man tries every means to keep her by his side. Everyone around him tells her that it is her blessing.

She was in the other party's territory, and she didn't dare to offend him, but she couldn't refuse either, because if she disobeyed him, she didn't know what would be waiting for her.

……

"Don't think about that. It's useless to think so much. Living in the present is the most important thing."

As she spoke, Yin Jiu's voice pulled Lu Cenyan back to the surface. She pushed the wontons in front of Lu Cenyan and stuffed a glass of orange juice into his hand:

"I hope my career will reach new heights and I'll let you know soon. Cheers!"
