Chapter 163 Yan Jin's Jealousy and Tang Yufei's Social Despair (Two-in-One)

Yan Jin's work and life are very different. At work, she is meticulous, cold and serious, both in her dress and attitude.

However, in real life, although she still has a serious demeanor, her makeup and attire make her look more like a fashionable urban woman.

When she's doing research, she might spend ten days or half a month going back and forth between home and the lab, but when she has free time, she has all sorts of hobbies.

For example, skiing, horseback riding, yoga, or even boxing.

Therefore, she has always given people a strong sense of contrast, just like her identity and ability versus her age and appearance. Anyone who sees her young and beautiful face would find it hard to associate her with a professor at Peking University and a biomedical expert.

At this moment, Yan Jin was wearing tight-fitting yoga clothes, which showed off her tall and full figure to the fullest. However, perhaps because Jiang Xun was watching from not far away, she always turned to the side in Jiang Xun's direction and her movements were relatively reserved.

In fact, Jiang Xun barely looked at her; she was mostly looking at her best friend.

Wearing yoga pants and a tight vest, Yan Jin's best friend appeared to have a very voluptuous figure, with plenty of flesh in all the right places.

This woman looked to be a year or two older than Yan Jin. Both her appearance and figure had a Western feel to them, perhaps because she had spent too much time abroad.

Although she wasn't as pretty as Yan Jin in terms of looks, she was definitely a beauty. Her biggest advantage was her large, round buttocks, her D-cup breasts, and her long, fleshy legs.

If she were only 1.6 meters tall, it might look strange, but she's about the same height as Yan Jin, with a large frame of around 1.75 meters, which is simply amazing.

A word suddenly popped into Jiang Xun's mind—a large truck.

Yan Jin, who is also 175 cm tall, looked rather petite next to this woman.

The woman seemed to notice Jiang Xun's gaze, chuckled softly and said something to Yan Jin, then deliberately puffed out her high chest.

Her breasts were firm and high, round and full, almost half of them visible at the neckline. They swayed constantly with her upper body movements, making Jiang Xun feel a little dizzy.

From a visual perspective, being too big doesn't necessarily look good, especially in Chinese aesthetics. Yan Jin's size, neither too big nor too small, is considered perfect.

But I have to say, the big ones are really comfortable.

Jiang Xun watched for about ten minutes until the two women finished their yoga practice and walked towards the changing room, at which point he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Yan Jin finished changing her clothes a little earlier than her best friend. Today she was wearing a black casual outfit, as if she preferred wearing black.

A collared jacket paired with loose straight-leg pants creates a Western-style suit with a professional feel. On Yan Jin, this outfit, combined with her aloof and goddess-like face, makes her even more glamorous.

A hint of amazement flashed in Jiang Xun's eyes, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Noticing his gaze, Yan Jin's lips curled up almost imperceptibly on her previously icy face, but she quickly regained her composure and said indifferently:
"Do you know that it's very impolite to stare at someone?"

"I wouldn't say I was staring at it the whole time; I only glanced at it a few times," Jiang Xun replied with a smile.

Yan Jin glared at him coldly, "Weren't you staring at someone the whole time? You didn't even blink for over ten minutes!"

You could tell Yan Jin was genuinely unhappy; her eyes were so cold they seemed to freeze you.

However, Jiang Xun was secretly pleased. It seemed that Professor Yan wasn't really an emotionless ice goddess after all; she could get jealous too.

Jiang Xun had deliberately avoided looking at Yan Jin, pretending to be captivated by her best friend's figure and keeping her gaze fixed on her best friend.

If Yan Jin remains unmoved by this, then Jiang Xun has nothing to say. It can only mean that Yan Jin truly has no feelings for him.

As it turns out, Yan Jin, who always seemed indifferent to everything, also seemed to experience emotional fluctuations at this moment.

Logically speaking, given her personality, she shouldn't be angry about something like this. The fact that she's angry means she cares a lot.

This conclusion excited Jiang Xun. He leaned closer to Yan Jin and whispered with a smile:

"I understand. Next time, I'll only look at Professor Yan."

"Get out!" Yan Jin's cold cheeks flushed instantly. She glared at Jiang Xun angrily, then turned her head away so he wouldn't see her expression.

Just then, her best friend also came out after changing her clothes. Seeing them from afar, she smiled and said:
"Hey, what are you talking about? You've made Professor Yan blush."

She could just see the embarrassed and annoyed expression on Yan Jin's face, as well as that captivating blush.

This surprised her greatly, because even though she was so familiar with Yan Jin, she had rarely seen her like this.

Suddenly, she became even more interested in Yan Jin, her student.

Yan Jin had told her some things about Jiang Xun before, and she thought that Yan Jin just appreciated Jiang Xun's talent and ability, but the moment she met Jiang Xun, she felt that something was wrong.

When Yan Jin saw Jiang Xun, she seemed to deliberately avoid his gaze, and her expression appeared somewhat unnatural.

At the time, she thought she was overthinking it, since she knew Yan Jin's situation.

But then Jiang Xun's gaze remained fixed on her, and she noticed that Yan Jin's mood was a bit off, and the temperature around them seemed to drop several degrees.

Seeing the rare embarrassment and annoyance on Yan Jin's face as she chatted with Jiang Xun, she immediately understood what was going on.

Perhaps she should reassess this young man named Jiang Xun and his company.

Yan Jin did not show any girlish behavior because of her best friend's teasing. Instead, she reverted to her aloof and indifferent demeanor and took the initiative to introduce Jiang Xun.

"This is Qin Yanan, whom I told you about. She graduated from Stanford University with a double master's degree in Financial Management and Human Resource Management."

After saying that, she said to Qin Yanan, "He is Jiang Xun, and he is currently a freshman at Peking University."

Her introduction made Qin Yanan, who was standing next to her, burst out laughing, and Jiang Xun was also somewhat amused and exasperated.

This woman was clearly getting revenge on him. By deliberately revealing his status as a freshman, she was essentially implying that he was too young.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you." Qin Yanan extended her fair hand and greeted Jiang Xun with a smile.

"Hello, Ms. Qin." Jiang Xun also extended his hand to shake hands with her. "I didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful. You're quite different from the foreign company executives I imagined."

Jiang Xun offered a small compliment, which was also true.

"I'm not young anymore, I'm already a mother of a two-year-old," Qin Yanan said with a light laugh.

Jiang Xun was stunned for a moment. So this was a real young woman. No wonder it was so big.

After getting to know each other, Jiang Xun and the other two went upstairs to a private room in the coffee shop to have a detailed chat.

Jiang Xun learned from the conversation that Qin Yanan's husband is American and now works for Microsoft, while Qin Yanan herself used to be an executive at a company called West Columbia.

Because her parents are both in China, Qin Yanan wanted to take her child back to live with them, so she gave up her job in the United States and chose to return to China. She is currently unemployed. Jiang Xun briefly explained his company's situation and general plans to Qin Yanan. As for salary, he offered salaries comparable to executives at some large domestic companies, with an annual salary of approximately one million yuan.

Qin Yanan clearly hadn't expected Jiang Xun to offer such a high salary; it seemed this newly established small company was far more financially robust than she had imagined.

Of course, Qin Yanan wasn't stupid, and she certainly wouldn't believe Jiang Xun's verbal promises just because he was right now, especially since she didn't even know where the company's office was located.

Just then, Tang Yufei called Jiang Xun to tell him that the office location had been arranged and asked him to come and take a look.

"President Jiang, may I come along?" Qin Yanan asked, her attitude towards Jiang Xun having changed somewhat.

“Of course.” Jiang Xun nodded without hesitation. Although he didn’t know what kind of place Tang Yufei was looking for, he trusted her judgment.

And so, Jiang Xun and the other two drove to the address Tang Yufei had given them. However, even the dignified CEO Jiang was now acting as the driver.

Before getting in the car, Yan Jin casually tossed the car keys to him and sat in the back seat. Ever since Jiang Xun had been her driver a few times, she had gotten used to having Jiang Xun drive every time she was with him.

But this subconscious action surprised Qin Yanan even more; she hadn't expected their relationship to have developed to this point.

In the car, Qin Yanan couldn't help but text Yan Jin, asking:
"How are you doing now? Are you better?"

Upon receiving her message, Yan Jin subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xun in front of her. Seeing that he didn't seem to be paying attention, she shook her head slightly.

"I don't believe it. Your attitude towards him is completely different from how you treated other men before," Qin Yanan typed quickly and continued.

Yan Jin hesitated for a moment before typing a reply.

“I don’t know either. At first I thought I was better, but later I found that I still felt very averse to contacting other men, except for him.”

This was the first time Yan Jin had talked about this with anyone, and even when Tang Yufei asked her, she didn't give a direct answer.

Due to her family situation since childhood, she suffers from a severe mental illness, which makes her afraid of being alone with men, let alone having intimate contact.

This condition is called androphobia, or 'male phobia'.

During high school, she even felt nauseous and dizzy and was hospitalized because a boy accidentally bumped into her.

After some psychological counseling and medication, he improved slightly, but he still resisted being alone with the opposite sex.

This situation continued until she returned from abroad.

Perhaps as she grew older, her psychological resilience improved, and with the help of a professional psychologist, she gradually began to adapt to communicating with and spending time alone with men.

But as long as there is physical contact, even through clothing, she will still feel very resistant and have a physiological aversion.

Until she met Jiang Xun.

From the first time she met Jiang Xun, she did not feel any disgust or fear from him.

At that time, the clean-cut, tall, and handsome boy dragging his suitcase was like a ray of sunshine piercing through the gloom and shining into her world, making her realize for the first time that boys are not actually that scary or hateful.

Therefore, she unusually took the initiative to lead the way for Jiang Xun, just to test whether she was not averse to being alone with him.

As it turned out, Jiang Xun was indeed different from other boys. Yan Jin walked side by side with him, keeping a half-step distance between them, and Yan Jin felt no discomfort whatsoever.

After a chance encounter, Yan Jin began to pay attention to the boy and wanted to take the initiative to approach him.

On one hand, she naturally wanted to get her illness completely cured through him; on the other hand, she was also curious about what was so special about this young man and why he could give her a different feeling.

With each interaction, even physical intimacy, Yan Jin was surprised to find that her mental illness seemed to have no effect on Jiang Xun.

However, when she is alone with other men, she feels inexplicable resistance, aversion, or even disgust.

This is why she repeatedly tried to get close to Jiang Xun. Perhaps she wanted to find answers from him, or perhaps the answers were no longer so important.

While Yan Jin and Qin Yanan were chatting via text, Jiang Xun had already driven his car into a hutong in Xicheng District and parked it in front of a courtyard house.

Despite having suspected it beforehand, Jiang Xun was still pleasantly surprised when he saw with his own eyes that Tang Yufei had found him a courtyard house.

"Is this the place?" Qin Yanan was also a little surprised after getting out of the car. Who would choose to have their office in a courtyard house? This is too extravagant.

Yan Jin was obviously a little surprised, but considering that it was Tang Yufei who had found him, it didn't seem strange.

The three of them walked into the courtyard and found that it was much larger than they had imagined. It had a front yard and a back yard, and there was even a small pond in the yard. It was also decorated very beautifully.

Several strings of copper bells hang from the eaves of the gray-tiled roof, tinkling as the wind blows.

The west wing has been transformed into a glass tea room. The century-old crabapple tree in the center of the courtyard is illuminated by a circular ground lamp. When the petals fall into the gaps in the bluestone slabs, they happen to press down on the moisture-proof coating that was newly laid last year.

A draft swept across the east wall, and the afternoon sun slanted across the courtyard wall. A calico cat leaped onto the roof of the side room, stepped on the pipes of the solar water heater, and its tail swept across the old and new tiles.

Just as Jiang Xun reached the front of a moon gate, a beautiful figure jumped out from around the corner.

A tall, beautiful woman dressed in a moon-white long-sleeved shirt and a velvet pleated skirt appeared before Jiang Xun. She wore exquisite earrings, exposed her beautiful long legs, and her long, flowing hair exuded a charming fragrance as it bounced.

"Ta-da! Do you like it?" Tang Yufei smiled at Jiang Xun, her beautiful face beaming with a bright smile, as if she were a child waiting to be praised.

"Of course I like what you found," Jiang Xun replied with a smile, but then added with a hint of helplessness, "But I imagine the rent isn't cheap, is it?"

"Of course it's not cheap." Tang Yufei smiled ambiguously, hooked her arm around Jiang Xun's neck, and said coquettishly, "How about I use you as rent? You'll be at my beck and call whenever I want to play."

Jiang Xun was taken aback. So this courtyard house belonged to Tang Yufei's family. This woman was really rich and powerful, casually giving away her courtyard house as an office space.

He looked at Tang Yufei with a half-smile and chuckled softly:

"I wonder when Miss Tang wants to play? Surely not now?"

It seems that Tang Yufei is unaware that Yan Jin and Qin Yanan have also come along, and Jiang Xun is deliberately trying to tease her.

"Little beauty, you're right, I want it now." Tang Yufei said in a deep voice, transforming into a sexy and mature woman, and directly raised her head to bite Jiang Xun's lips.

With her other hand, she went straight for Ben Xiaojiangxun.

Just as she grabbed him, Yan Jin and Qin Yanan walked up from behind, their footsteps making her body stiffen abruptly.

Tang Yufei turned to look at Yan Jin and Qin Yanan, her cheeks instantly turning red, wishing she could jump right into the pond in the front yard.
