The matter he asked her to consider carefully…
Yin Shuiling did not raise her head up, and she looked at the noodles on the plate as she quickly brushed him off. “What matter, I don’t know what you are talking about…”
“Shuiling, don’t pretend to not know.” Yin Muchen interrupted her and said, “In a month, I will celebrate my 33rd birthday. You just returned from England and were only 21 years old. You were still attending university. You were too young, but after two years have passed, you have graduated, and I think that it is time right now.
“Shuiling, you should also have gotten used to in the past two years. In the future, we will spend time with one another just like this. I will always pamper you, love you, and never ever change.”
As he spoke, Yin Muchen put down the fork. He stretched his hand out to grab one of her small hands. He weaved five of his fingers into her hands and interlocked their fingers together. His voice was gentle and soft as he said, “Did you know why I went on a business trip to Africa?”
He caressed her ring finger as he said, “I am not a romantic person; I am too dumb with my hands. I have never personally made something with my hands… Shuiling, those two years are almost up now These two years are the longest limit that I have given you. I was always waiting for you, and now, I cannot wait anymore.”
He did not speak completely, but he had already expressed his intentions very clearly. He was thinking…
Yin Shuiling felt her heart instantly become numb. She was frantic as she withdrew her small hand. Her ring finger that had been caressed by him felt like it’d been electrocuted, and that shock went to the deepest part of her heart.
She was in a daze and did not know what to do. At this moment, her small hand that was placed on her kneecap unintentionally touched the phone inside her pocket, and it felt icy cold.
This phone reminded her of the things that she should go to do.
The heat inside her heart was dropped into a cold valley. Her face was pale, and her hands and feet were extremely cold as she said, “Let’s eat. If we do not eat, it will get cold.”
Looking at her small head that was cast downwards, the happiness in Yin Muchen’s eyes disappeared completely, and he used his utensils to continue cutting the steak.
They did not say anything. Yin Shuiling ate two noodles before lifting her head up. She stretched her hand up to grab the wine glass, “Yin Muchen, let’s toast.”
Yin Muchen looked at her slowly. She did not look into his eyes, but she lifted her head up slightly to have a small sip of red wine.
Yin Muchen was silent for a few seconds before he put down his utensils. He curled the corners of his lips up before nodding his head. “Sure.”
He took the wine glass placed by the side of his hand, and he drank the red wine that she poured for him.
The dining room was silent. There was no sound at all. The red candles on the dining table were still burning, but the red flames could not penetrate Yin Shuiling’s paper-white face.
She sat down on the chair as she looked at Yin Muchen, who was seated by her side. He had consumed some alcohol and was already sleeping, still at the table.
She had placed some medicine inside the red wine.
Yin Shuiling’s eyes did not have any focus. She looked at him for a few seconds before she stood up to head upstairs.
She went into the study, and she walked over to the side of the safe deposit box. There was a password required for the safe deposit box, and she typed the same password as the notebook. Ding! The safe deposit box was open.
She stretched her small, fair hand over, and she took out the accounting book.
Plop! There seemed to be something placed on top of the accounting record, and it fell onto the floor.
Yin Shuiling cast her gaze down to look, and there was a wedding ring…quietly lying on the carpet.
She stooped down, and her small hands were trembling as she went to pick the wedding ring up. It was a simple and elegant platinum design, and there was a diamond in the middle. There were a few alphabets on the ring — C&L.
Chen and Ling.
Their names.
Yin Shuiling caressed the words on the ring. The letters were not engraved very beautifully. They were slanted, and he had said that he made it himself…
It was true that he was really bad with his hands. These letters were really ugly.
Yin Shuiling bit her lower lip, but it was of no use. The hot tears flowed out of her eyes, and she cupped her face with both hands as she cried out painfully.
He brought her over to meet his mother yesterday, and he said that he wanted to buy her a wedding dress this morning. She did not think too much of it, but it turned out that it was not that he did not care about her, but he was preparing to get married.
A man like him, he would never say it when he had trouble inside his heart. He only knew how to prepare everything while standing behind her.
There was once back in the past that she told Ning Qing that he only wanted to play around with her, but this was not true. Ever since the moment that he appeared in the nurse’s room in the university, he had decided to get married with her, and he said…that he would wait for her for two whole years.
Didn’t he say that she was… a spoiled vixen?
So now, why did he want to marry her?
He wanted to marry her and make her his wife.
Yin Shuiling’s eyes were red as she choked up because she was crying too hurriedly, as if she would not be able to catch her breath in the next second. Her heart felt sour, gentle and painful, because of him, and only for him.
She firmly held this wedding ring in her palm. She cried painfully as she placed her hand by the side of her heart. At this moment, this wedding ring was just like her life, her life.
Yin Muchen, Yin Muchen… She repeated his name inside her heart before lowering her gaze down to kiss the wedding ring that she held in her palms.
Sixth Older Brother stood on the main street as he waited. He waited for a long time and could not see Yin Shuiling anywhere. He lowered his gaze to look at the time, and he wanted to take his phone out to make a call.
He had yet to make the call, and a petite and beautiful figure appeared in front of him. Yin Shuiling was here.
Sixth Older Brother was extremely joyous as he said, “Miss Yin, did you get the accounting record?”
Yin Shuiling handed the accounting record in her hand over to him.
Sixth Older Brother’s eyes lit up, and he stretched his hand out to receive it.
But it did not land in his hands because Yin Shuiling lifted her hand up, and her gaze was icy cold as she looked at him.
It was only then that Sixth Older Brother realized that Yin Shuiling’s eyes were red, and he smiled and said, “Miss Yin, you don’t have to worry. After we receive the accounting record, your father, Yin De, will be out tomorrow morning.”
As he spoke, Sixth Older Brother brought the letter in his hand over to her as he said, “This is the new identity that Yin De will take overseas. The flight tickets are also booked. Miss Yin, there are two flight tickets, and you can leave with Yin De tomorrow.”
Yin Shuiling opened the envelope to glance inside before stuffing the envelope into her own bag.
She had a sling bag on her as she came.
“Miss Yin, you can hand over the accounting record over to me now.”
Yin Shuiling hesitated for two seconds before she slowly stretched her hand out.
Sixth Older Brother took the accounting record., “Miss Yin, it has been a good time working with one another. We will meet again if there is a chance,” he said with a smile. Sixth Older Brother boarded a black vehicle and left.
Yin Shuiling stood at the side of the road. Her eyes were in a daze as she looked at the passers-by and the cars that were passing by her. Where should she head to?
An extremely handsome face appeared in her mind. It was him, Yin Muchen.
He would probably find out about whatever she did tomorrow.
Would he still want her then?
Her father would be out of prison tomorrow. She should be happy. At least, for the rest of her life, she did not need to live in guilt and regret. She did not need to be tortured anymore.
But, her heart was empty now.
He would not want her anymore, and she’d lost him.
Yin Muchen…
Yin Shuiling’s eyes were in a blur, and they had colour in them suddenly. She lifted her slim legs before she turned around and left. She wanted to go back to look for him. He would only find out about the things that she did tomorrow, and she still had tonight.
She had drugged him, so at the very least, she should go back to take care of him.
At the beginning, Yin Shuiling walked, and soon, she walked faster and faster. She started to run. She ran towards the Royal Villa. Yin Muchen, no matter what would happen tomorrow, she only wanted to see him right now.
Yin Shuiling ran back to the Royal Villa. She pushed the door open and entered. Because she was in a hurry to see the man, she did not even change her shoes. She was in the foyer area and was about to run towards the dining room.
But something was not right. She heard the sound of rustling, and there was the sound of a woman. There was a coy crying together with the sound of water squirting…
Yin Shuiling was not unfamiliar with this sound.
She was in a daze as she stood by the side of the wall. She followed the source of the sound. She naturally turned her small head around, and she looked at the living room.
Yin Muchen, who should have been sleeping in the chair in the dining room, was seated on the sofa. There was a girl hanging onto his body, and the girl wore a white singlet. There’d been a small denim jacket over it, but now, the denim jacket was thrown onto the carpet, and the singlet that the girl was wearing was drooping below her shoulder. It exposed a large part of her youthful and girly back.
The girl hugged the man’s head, and because of the difference in their heights, Yin Shuiling could not see what the man was doing clearly.
But it was not hard to tell that the man’s hand was on the girl’s body. The girl had a pair of stilettos. Her fingers were holding on tight, and it was obvious that she was extremely happy.
Yin Shuiling felt like her entire body had been struck by lightning. “Ah!” She covered her mouth as she let out a scream.
This sharp scream alarmed that girl. The girl was frantic as she covered her own chest before she got off of the man’s lap.
The girl turned her face around, and Yin Shuiling had a clear look. It was… Wu Qian.
That Wu Qian from the western restaurant. She was only 19 years old this year, and she was that girl who would trail behind her and call her, “Older Sister Yin”.
Yin Shuiling’s head felt as if it’d been hit by a large stick. She was about to faint. Her head was ringing. Her face was pale and in a daze as she moved her gaze from Wu Qian’s face to the man’s face as he sat down on the sofa….
Compared to the frantic expressions that Wu Qian had, Yin Muchen was calm, and his grey shirt had four buttons undone because of what they’d just done. She could see a large segment of his healthy skin and sculpted chest.
He did not cross his legs. They were very crassly open. He had to be someone who could not do such inelegant actions. He looked cold and rogue, and he had the attractiveness of a mature man.
He did not look at her. He bent over and took the cigarettes and lighter from the coffee table in front of him. He used his hand to block the wind as he lit the cigarette. He took a deep puf before he slowly and casually spat out that mouthful of smoke. It was if he was satisfied, and he lifted his gaze up to look over at her.
His dark gaze seemed satisfied as it stopped on Yin Shuiling’s small face. He was a little mocking as he glanced at her pale, shocked face as he asked, “What are you frozen there for?”
Although he was smiling, there was no hint of happiness in the bottom of his eyes. Yin Shuiling only felt cold, and her entire body was shaking. Her teeth were chattering together in fear. She looked at Wu Qian who was quietly standing aside.
Yin Muchen snorted out in laughter. He pointed his smoking hand at Wu Qian. “Her. Don’t you know her? To be honest, I also do not know her. She came out of nowhere just now, and after she came, she acted like chewing gum as she stuck herself onto my body.”
Yin Shuiling was in a daze as she looked at the man’s face. There was a red mark on his exposed chest left behind by Wu Qian.
She was at a loss for what to do. She shook her head and took a step back.
The moment she retreated, she forced herself directly into the corner.
