Chapter 618 - Acquaintance

After everything was settled, Yin Jia sat by the bedside and recalled the earlier scene. She could not help the fear that welled up in her heart.

‘Was it an accident or was it deliberate? Was it targeted at me? Is it Guan Ning or someone else?’

Yin Jia had a headache thinking about these things. This was why she was adamant about Cheng Che’s return to the Yin family. She had to have someone on her side. She could not fight alone anymore. She was the Yin family’s lucky star, and the Yin family should be hers or her young brother.

At this time, the person on the bed stirred, interrupting Yin Jia’s thoughts.

Yin Jia hastily leaned over and asked, “You’re awake?”

The person looked at her in a daze. He looked around before moving again. It seemed like the pain from his wound had flared up as he hissed.

Yin Jia’s heart tightened. “Were you knocked silly?”

The man suddenly asked, “Are you alright? Were you injured?”

Yin Jin heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He did not knock himself silly, after all. After a moment, she said, “I’m alright. Thank you very much. You only got injured because you saved me.”

The man smiled. “It’s alright. It’s what I should do. I’m a police officer. It’s just that I didn’t wear my uniform. By the way, Miss, what’s your name?”

Yin Jia could not help but blush at the abrupt question so she lowered her head.

Upon seeing this, the man took the initiative to say, “My name is Ye Cheng.”

Yin Jia let down her guard as she looked up at the young man. She suddenly found that he was a little cute. Finally, she smiled and said, “My name is Yin Jia.”

Ye Cheng hurriedly said, “Hello, Miss Yin!”

“There’s no need to be so polite. You can just call me by my name,” Yin Jia gently said.

Ye Cheng nodded, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Yin Jia said solemnly, “Thank you for saving

me.”

Ye Cheng smiled. “You’re welcome. Anyone else would’ve done the same thing. It’s only normal.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yin Jia felt her mood improve instantly when she saw Ye Cheng’s pure and beautiful smile. Then, she said apologetically, “The doctor said you’ll need to stay for observation. He’s afraid there might be internal injuries.” Although Yin Jie had stopped apologizing, it was clear she still felt very apologetic.

Ye Cheng said nonchalantly, “Don’t listen to the doctor. They’re just being extra cautious. I know my own body very well. I’m fine so don’t worry.”

Yin Jia’s heart was suffused with warmth,

At the same time, Ye Cheng made a call and reported the accident, giving the person on the other end of the line the location of the accident and the car number plate. Then, he said, “Go and investigate what happened.”

After disconnecting the call, Ye Cheng’s solemn expression vanished and returned to his friendly appearance. He asked tentatively, “Did you offend anyone?”

Yin Jia smiled and replied truthfully, “I don’t know who I’ve offended? I’ve only been here for less than a month. However, I’ve encountered this kind of thing countless times since I was young. I’ve already gotten used to it.”

Ye Cheng looked surprised. “What? Why? How’s that possible? Who wants to harm

you?”

Yin Jia smiled. “There’s no reason. It’s likely because I’m a hindrance to some people. Fortunately, I’m lucky. I’ve escaped death time and time again. Look, I met such a noble person like you today.”

Ye Cheng’s expression was one of disbelief with a tinge of distress. He said, seemingly without thinking, “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you from now on!”

Yin Jia’s heart felt warm, and her tears almost fell from her eyes upon hearing these words.

The distance between the duo suddenly shortened, and they both felt slightly awkward.

Ye Cheng did not dare to look at Yin Jia and hurriedly averted his eyes.

Apart from him, Yin Jia had only met two pure and innocent men in her life before. Thinking about this, her heart grew cold as she said in a soft voice, “I’m a jinx. I’ll end up implicating you. Whoever gets close to me will end up getting crushed into pieces. I don’t want to implicate you.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng grinned and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? It’s fine. You’re a jinx, but I’m a lucky star. In the future, I’ll bring you luck. At that time, you’ll be okay. Don’t worry.”
