Chapter 512 - They Had Not Seen One Another For 7 Days, And He Missed Her Very Much
Chapter 512: They Had Not Seen One Another For 7 Days, And He Missed Her Very Much
Shi Xiaoqing was in shock and in disbelief. She always thought that this was all on Yin Muchen’s part alone. Shuiling was still young; she was 15 years old. What did she know about?
But it was obvious that everything was not as she thought it was.
She knew that Shuiling liked Yin Muchen, but Shui Ling liked Yin Muchen ever since she was eight years old. This kind of feeling had never stopped. She thought that Shuiling treated Yin Muchen as an older brother.
But…
What did Shuiling say just now? Older Brother did not need any other woman. It was all enough as long as Older Brother had her alone…
Shi Xiaoqing’s thighs went soft, and she immediately slumped down onto the floor.
Shuiling, she…
…
Inside the bar
Liu Caizhe and Hu Ya rushed over to the main lobby of the bar. They saw Yin Muchen at first glance. The man was seated at a very secluded corner of the bar, but he was the centre of attention. There were many seductively dressed women in the main lobby, and there were also a few men staring at him.
The two men stepped forward. Liu Caizhe had a look at the white liquor on the bar, smiled, and said, “Muchen, this alcohol is very strong, and it is very harmful to your body. You could get drunk easily; switch another drink.”
Hu Ya stretched his hand out to call the service staff over and wanted to switch Yin Muchen’s drink.
“You don’t have to. I will just drink this.” Yin Muchen took the bottle of white liquor up and poured it into the glass before he drank from the bottle.
Since his return to the condominium unit from the Yin family villa, he’d changed his clothes. He wore a simple classic combination of a black shirt and black trousers. His sleeves were rolled up a few times, and his muscular arms were exposed.
The tall chair was very high up, but his legs were even longer. His black leather shoes were on the floor, and his slim cut trousers looked extra stunning under the glow of the neon lights.
Liu Caizhe and Hu Ya knew that he was intent on drinking hard liquor and did not bother trying to persuade him further. Nobody could change this man’s decisions.
Actually, in the past two to three years, Yin Muchen rarely touched such strong liquor. Although his alcohol tolerance was good, he would still get drunk.
Yin Muchen was not a man who could drink a lot.
Four or five years ago, he started out his career in the finance world in America. Back then, he had many business dinners to attend. He would gamble and race cars with those sons of the wealthy families, and he had to drink with them.
When he first started to drink white liquor, he got drunk very easily. After he got drunk, he would always vomit, but after he went back into the venue, he would continue to drink. He would drink and then vomit, and after he vomited, he drank again, and his alcohol tolerance was trained like that.
At that time, he was powerless and did not have anything. He had to observe others temperaments. They had wanted him to drink, and he could not turn them down. Fewer people wanted him to drink now, and he did not drink much anymore.
In these seven years, he actually had very little time to behave as he wished, and similarly, the things that he did back in the past did not suit his preferences.
Liu Caizhe and Hu Ya were by his side. They each ordered a cocktail, and Liu Caizhe had a sip before saying, “Muchen, what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Didn’t you go to the Yin family place to have dinner? Just because of this dinner, you rescheduled a very important meeting.”
Yin Muched held the bottle in his right hand, placed the bottle on the table, and spun it around to play with it. He curled up the corners of his lips up and acted as if he were bored as he said, “Yeah…I rescheduled an important meeting to go over…”
“What did you do there?”
“…A blind date…probably… After finishing the blind date, they asked for money…”
Liu Caizhe listened on and was not very surprised as he said, “That couple asked you to go over. What good could come of it? How was it? Are you satisfied with your blind date?”
Yin Muchen raised his head up to have a mouthful of hard liquor. The man’s protruding Adam’s apple started to slide down, and he looked extremely sexy. He had a happy smile on his face as he said, “Still not bad… She is pretty feminine… She is probably the type of woman who would not know to do anything else other than to lie down in bed…”
“Talking about a blind date, would any woman be better than Miss Yi Lin? After Miss Yi Lin got her PhD, she inherited the family’s talent in finance. She is the only daughter of the Emeritus Professor, and has also loved you for so many years. After marrying her, you would be at the top of the finance circle. What did the Yin couple think? You did not even want Miss Yi Lin, and they still dared to use those women to tempt you?”
Yin Muchen listened on and did not say anything.
Liu Caizhe elbowed the man. He was very interested as he asked, “What did that blind date tell you?”
Yin Muchen drank the glass of hard liquor in one shot and opened the second bottle as he said, “She asked me out to see a movie.”
“You agreed?”
Yin Muchen shot a glance over and scoffed as he said, “When have I ever gone to see a movie? I never used watching movies to flirt with girls. When I flirt with girls, I always…”
Yin Muchen downed a shot of hard liquor, and he slowly squinted his long and narrow eyes. His eyes had a small hint of satisfaction in them. They did not know whether it was because he was proud, mocking, or disgusted as he said, “Look, as long as I whistle. Women will come to my side nonstop. I am handsome; I don’t have any other choice.”
Liu Caizhe understood this man. The past few years in America, the only woman this man treated differently was Yi Lin because he was indebted to both Yi Lin and the emeritus professor.
The people who treated him well, no matter how little they helped him, he would remember it.
Yin Muchen lowered his gaze to play with the bottle as he said, “What is watching a movie? That is a date when two people are dating, a man would only do that for a woman he loves. I have not…”
He has not dated before.
Despite how many women he’s had.
He was very clear inside his heart: sleeping was sleeping, dating was dating. These were two different things.
He was very generous towards women. Those who’d been with him, they could ask for jewelry and cheques all they wanted, but he did not gift roses and also would not take them to the movies. He has not even held a woman’s hand.
He left a spot inside his heart, and that part was soft and pure.
Liu Caizhe found the atmosphere a little stressful. It was not hard for anyone to tell that this man was not in a good mood. He said, “Muchen, that couple does not have good intentions for you. You didn’t just realize this today, right? They asked you to have a meal together, and it would definitely be a front, but you still went over, rescheduling such an important meeting to go. What were you thinking?”
Yin Muchen raised his head up. His gaze was fixed on a particular spot, and his dark gaze had a warm gentleness. He was probably not drunk, but it seemed that he was drunk. He had a smile on his face as he murmured, “It has been seven days now. I have not seen her for a very very long time… Now, I miss her very much…”
Liu Caizhe froze as he was about to take his shot. He did not need to think about it at all, and he knew that by “she,” he meant Yin Shuiling.
Liu Caizhe had a complicated expression on his face. He did not look over at Yin Muchen. He lowered his head down and said, “You saw her, and what did she say to you?”
Yin Muchen raised his gaze and caressed the thin, narrow opening of the bottle in his hands. He swallowed his saliva, and his voice was hoarse as he said, “She called me…Older Brother…”
Her voice was really so melodious.
“Since she called you Older Brother, then she must have really seen you as an Older Brother. She has already moved out last Friday, and today, you went over to the Yin family’s home for the blind date. She must have known about it. She doesn’t have any feelings for you, so you should also keep those feelings of yours.”
As he spoke Liu Caizhe looked Yin Muchen in the eye and said, “A day like today, you rescheduled the important meeting to rush over to see her, but she allowed you to see an unfamiliar woman. Don’t you think that you are foolish? Muchen, don’t live like a joke.”
The happiness in Yin Muchen’s eyes disappeared. He drooped his head and downed the entire glass of hard alcohol down in one gulp before he stood up and said, “I’m going to the washroom.”
He was stumbling over to the washroom.
…
In the Yin family villa
Yin Shuiling stayed inside her bedroom. She sat down on the bed before she curled her knees up and curled herself up into a small, cute ball. She buried her small face into her kneecaps, and she cried for a very long time.
She missed Older Brother very much…
She slowly stopped crying. She felt around for her phone on the bed stand before dialling Yin Muchen’s number.
If Older Brother treated her coldly because she did not allow him to touch her, then congratulations, she admitted defeat.
She took the initiative to call him.
This phone call was the last time she conceded. She did not want her dignity anymore and did not bother about what others thought. She would allow him to touch her.
She only had one condition: he could not have any other woman.
She really did not like sharing him with other women.
After the call was connected, the other end was just ringing…
Yin Muchen went to the bathroom, but his phone was at the bar. A melodious ringtone rang out, and Liu Caizhe and Hu Ya raised their heads up.
Hu Ya had a glance at the phone. He was happy as he said, “Miss Yin? It is a phone call from Miss Yin… Boss went to the bathroom. If Boss knows that she called him, he would definitely be very happy. I will give the phone to Boss right now…”
Hu Ya took the phone.
A hand that snatched the phone away immediately. Liu Caizhe looked over at Hu Ya. He had a serious and grave expression on his face as he said, “You don’t have to give it to him.”
“Why? If Boss knows that she called him…”
“Secretary Hu!” Liu Caizhe interrupted Hu Ya, and he had an extremely serious expression that Hu Ya had never seen before as he said, “The matter regarding Muchen’s father, I have already completed the investigations.”
Hu Ya froze slightly and did not understand as he asked, “But what does this have to do with Miss Yin…”
Hu Ya’s words came to a halt. He was in shock as he looked over at Liu Caizhe, and he understood everything in an instant.
Liu Caizhe swiped on Yin Muchen’s phone. He went into the settings blocking messages from certain numbers, and he put Yin Shuiling’s phone number inside.
After finishing these, he put the phone back in its original spot.
“In the future, don’t bring Yin Shuiling up in front of Muchen anymore. There is no chance of Muchen being together with her. It would be better for the pain to end quickly; don’t let Yin Shuiling ruin Muchen.”
…
Yin Shuiling listened on the robotic female answering machine on the other end — Sorry, the number that you have dialled is currently unavailable. She raised her eyebrows.
Why did Older Brother not answer his phone?
Yin Shuiling called him another three or four times, but no one picked up.
After pondering for a moment, she put her phone back onto the bed. She did not put her shoes on. She was barefooted as she ran over to the side of the door, and she placed her small hand on the door handle, wanting to open the door.
But she was unable to do so. The room door was locked from the outside.
Yin Shuiling immediately knew that it was her mother’s doing.
Mother started to restrict her freedom now.
That won’t do; she wanted to go and find Older Brother!
