Chapter 161 Bullying
Yan Jin's reaction surprised Jiang Xun. Although her tone was cold and she seemed indifferent, the fact that she could make Jiang Xun hug her for more than ten minutes after kissing her spoke volumes.

Even if it can't prove that she likes Jiang Xun, at least she doesn't dislike him, or rather, she has feelings for him; otherwise, why would she react this way?

During the cooking process, both of them were somewhat absent-minded, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air. Jiang Xun would occasionally touch Yan Jin's small hand or shoulder under the pretext of helping, and even boldly smooth her hair.

Although Yan Jin glared at him every time, he didn't say anything, which made Jiang Xun even more unruly. However, he still kept his distance and didn't want to offend Yan Jin.

After the meal was prepared, Zhao Ruoyu helped serve the dishes. Her eyes secretly darted between Jiang Xun and Yan Jin, and she had a feeling that her frivolous 'cousin' must have done something naughty, otherwise why would her sister's ears be a little red?

Yan Jin wasn't so silent at the dinner table, chatting idly with Zhao Ruoyu, but he barely paid any attention to Jiang Xun.

After dinner, Zhao Ruoyu volunteered to wash the dishes, leaving Jiang Xun and Yan Jin alone in the living room once again.

Both of them were sitting on the sofa playing on their phones. Yan Jin leaned lazily against the sofa armrest, her long, shapely legs crossed, and the collar of her shirt slightly ajar, revealing a tempting glimpse of snow-white skin.

However, Jiang Xun was chatting with his older sister and the others with his head down. Anyway, Yan Jin didn't want to pay attention to him, and he was too lazy to try to be friendly with her.

Although Yan Jin appeared to be playing on her phone, her gaze kept glancing at Jiang Xun beside her. Seeing him constantly typing on his phone and occasionally raising the corners of his mouth, her expression became even colder.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke up: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Xun paused for a moment, glanced at Yan Jin's expression, and a thought struck him. He slid off the sofa and moved to stand almost touching Yan Jin.

"What are your instructions, Professor Yan?" he asked in a low voice with a smile.

Yan Jin quickly reached out to support herself against his chest, preventing him from getting too close. Her cheeks were burning. She glanced towards the kitchen, then glared at Jiang Xun and whispered:
"I'm warning you, don't get too out of line. I'll pretend today's incident never happened, but don't let it happen again, or else..."

"So what?" Jiang Xun leaned forward, getting even closer, and looked deeply into Yan Jin's eyes, asking softly.

Yan Jin placed both hands on Jiang Xun's chest, and she could clearly feel Jiang Xun's bulging muscles, full and firm as if containing endless power. Her cheeks and the roots of her ears turned slightly red.

However, she forced herself to regain her usual coldness, and her voice returned to its indifferent tone:
“I’m not joking with you. Once you step out this door, things will be the same as before. Don’t forget, I’m a married man.”

Looking at her expressionless, beautiful face and the indifference in her eyes, Jiang Xun sighed slightly.

As expected, this aloof goddess from Peking University had a very strong mental defense, and it was impossible to break through it easily.

However, he didn't really intend to do anything to the other party. Today's events were just an accident, and the atmosphere just got a bit too lively.

But he was reluctant to give up, especially after learning about Yan Jin's situation.

At this moment, he reached out and wrapped his arm around Yan Jin's waist, pulling her into his embrace as she struggled slightly. He then whispered against her cheek:

"Tang Yufei told me that you and her brother only had a wedding banquet. You didn't register your marriage or have any sexual relations. It doesn't count as a marriage at all."

Yan Jin's body stiffened. She hadn't expected Tang Yufei to reveal this to Jiang Xun. After a brief silence, she shook her head and said:

"Everyone knows I'm married to him, everyone knows I'm already married, we can't be together."

Jiang Xun also fell silent, and after a full two or three minutes, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, once I'm out of this door, I'll pretend nothing happened," he said calmly.

Yan Jin sensed the low mood in his tone, a complex look flashed in her eyes, and she relaxed her resistance, letting him hold her.

However, at this moment, Jiang Xun suddenly chuckled and said, "We haven't even left this door yet, so is there anything else I can do?"

As he spoke, under Yan Jin's embarrassed and angry gaze, he lowered his head and kissed her lips again, then pressed her down onto the sofa.

It was a passionate and powerful wet kiss, the kind that makes your legs go weak. The two bodies were pressed tightly together, and they could feel each other's warmth and contours.

Jiang Xun was going all out at this moment. While kissing Yan Jin, his hands also began to move, from Yan Jin's hair to her cheeks, then to her smooth shoulders, and finally to her plump waist.

Just as he was trying to grasp Professor Yan's truth, having only grasped half of it, he was pushed directly under the sofa.

Yan Jin clutched the collar of her shirt, her face flushed as she glared at Jiang Xun on the ground, her breathing still rapid, her high chest heaving.

At this moment, her long hair was a little messy, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were moist and alluring. She had lost some of her usual aloofness and gained more charm and beauty.

Jiang Xun thought she would be furious, but she wasn't. She just left a message saying, "Remember what you said," and then walked into the bathroom, pretending to be calm.

Jiang Xun definitely couldn't stay any longer in this situation. What had happened today was somewhat unexpected, and he felt he needed to calm down. Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Ruoyu finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen. Since she still had to go to the hospital, she told Yan Jin and left with Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun took this opportunity to visit Jiang Yuchang. Even though they were not related by blood and he didn't want to call her aunt anymore, he felt he should still show her more concern because of Zhao Ruoyu.

The two took a taxi to the hospital. Zhao Ruoyu was still a little shy. Although she seemed to be looking down at her phone, she kept glancing at Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun caught her doing so several times.

Seeing the little girl's shy yet slightly aloof face, Jiang Xun couldn't resist teasing her. He reached out and hugged her, giving her a kiss on the lips.

"Little sister, do you think Auntie would kill me if she knew we were like this?" Jiang Xun whispered with a smile, looking down at Zhao Ruoyu's delicate ear.

Although he lowered his voice, the driver in the front seat could still hear him, and for a moment both the driver and Zhao Ruoyu were stunned.

Zhao Ruoyu's pretty face instantly turned as red as an apple. She buried her head in Jiang Xun's arms, too ashamed to look at anyone, and secretly pinched Jiang Xun's arm with her small hand.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Jiang Xun saw Jiang Yuchang in her current state and felt a pang of sadness.

She has completely lost her former radiance and any trace of hostility. She has shaved her head and her face looks extremely pale.

Although surgery was performed, chemotherapy still needs to be continued, which is a torment both psychologically and physically.

When Jiang Yuchang saw Jiang Xun, her expression was a little unnatural, but she still managed a smile and quickly asked Jiang Xun to find a place to sit and brought him fruit. She really looked like a loving aunt.

Jiang Xun also put aside his misunderstandings and treated Jiang Yuchang very kindly. He chatted with her for a while, telling her to take care of herself and get better.

Seeing their harmonious relationship, Zhao Ruoyu was also very happy. A smile unconsciously appeared on her pretty face. While massaging her mother's shoulders, she secretly exchanged glances with Jiang Xun.

Of course, in reality, it was Jiang Xun who was teasing her with his eyes.

When Jiang Xun was about to leave, Jiang Yuchang asked Zhao Ruoyu to see him off.

Because the hospital arranged a single room, there was also a rest room for caregivers outside. After Jiang Xun and Zhao Ruoyu arrived at the rest room, the former immediately pulled Zhao Ruoyu into his arms and pressed her against the wall to start kissing.

Zhao Ruoyu's eyes widened, her gaze filled with panic, but even more so with shyness, after all, her mother was in the ward just a wall away.

But she couldn't refuse Jiang Xun's passionate kiss, nor did she intend to. Completely immersed in Jiang Xun's enthusiasm, she subconsciously responded.

Jiang Xun grabbed her hands with one hand and raised them above her head, while he placed his other hand on her soft thighs beneath her skirt.

"Brother~ Mom will hear~" Zhao Ruoyu blushed and let Jiang Xun do whatever he wanted, only able to make a cloying sound from her nose, but she did not make any move to stop him.

"No, it won't happen." Jiang Xun said as he kissed Zhao Ruoyu from her lips to her chin, then her neck, and continued downwards.

A dozen minutes later, Zhao Ruoyu collapsed into Jiang Xun's arms, her clothes disheveled and her pretty face flushed.

She gripped Jiang Xun's arm tightly, preventing him from making the slightest movement, because she felt that any movement from him would make her tremble all over.

A few minutes later, the little girl finally came to her senses and hummed softly in Jiang Xun's arms:

"Brother, you're bullying me."

Jiang Xun hadn't yet taken his hand out, and he chuckled softly, "Do you like being bullied by your brother?"

"No way~" Zhao Ruoyu said coquettishly, blushing, but then rubbed her pretty face against Jiang Xun's chest, her eyes full of affection.

The two lingered in the lounge for over half an hour until Jiang Yuchang called Zhao Ruoyu, at which point she blushed and pushed Jiang Xun out of the lounge.

Then she quickly ran to the bathroom to tidy herself up, and even sprayed some perfume on herself.

……

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Xun returned to school. His computer already contained resumes from people recommended by Professor Gao Wen and Yan Jin. Since there was no HR yet, he had to review the materials himself and find a time to conduct interviews.

Actually, calling it an interview is not quite accurate; it's more like an invitation. Since these people were recommended by Yan Jin and others, their abilities are definitely not lacking. The key question is whether his makeshift team can actually persuade them to participate.

Jiang Xun originally thought that Yan Jin probably wouldn't pay much attention to him for a while, but to his surprise, they met again the next day.
