Chapter 460 - I Like My Older Brother Too (1/2)

After they had walked quite a long way, Yin Muchen felt something smooth and soft on his neck. He looked sideways and saw that the girl in his arms had fallen asleep.

Because he was carrying her vertically, once she fell asleep, her entire body started slipping down. In her sleep, she also felt it. Her small hands held him tightly and buried her small head deep in his neck.

Yin Muchen was uncomfortable. She buried herself in his neck, causing her warm breath to heat up his skin. Even if he didn’t smell it, he knew that her breath was sweet and fragrant. Her little face was still rubbing against his neck, smooth as silk.

His skin p.r.i.c.kled with gooseb.u.mps.

“Shuiling…” He opened his mouth to call her and realized that his voice was hoa.r.s.e. He wanted to carry her horizontally.

But he had just moved a little. “Mmm, Older Brother…” The little girl buried in his neck felt uneasy. She didn’t want to leave him. She subconsciously hooked him in with two thin legs. Her little head moved, and the cherry mouth slid all the way from his neck to his ear.

Yin Muchen’s handsome face was red. At the age of 18, he was young but developed. He had not liked any girls but had received many love letters from girls, including some school beauties.

But he had never fallen in love with anyone, and in respect to that aspect, he hadn’t thought about it.

So what was the situation with him now?

His body was reacting too strongly. For the first time in his life, he felt…panic and shame, because of nothing else but the 8-year-old girl in his arms — his sister.

How could he treat her like that?

The yellow-haired boy’s words echoed in his ears. The feeling of a basin of cold water dousing him from head to toe in the cla.s.sroom just now came again. His bright red face turned pale quickly.

He was not like that.

It was probably because he had watched the film, and she had asked him to carry her.

Yin Muchen affirmed in his heart that, yes, it must be so.

Although they weren’t related by blood, he had really regarded her as his sister. She was a little angel he had met in this dark and confusing time. She had smiled at him and given him warmth. She was willing to call him “Older Brother”, so from then on, he would protect her like his own sister.

…

It was the weekend. Yin Shuiling doesn’t need to go to school. She went out with Yin Muchen early in the morning.

s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing was very opposed to her baby daughter hanging out with this poor boy, Yin Muchen, but her daughter likes him and sticks to him. As her mother, she had no choice but to open one eye and close one eye.

After all, this daughter was her life. She was reluctant to hit and scold her; she could only allow her to do as she wished.

Yin Shuiling came to an old residential district with Yin Muchen. It was very dilapidated. Most of the households had moved away, leaving behind only those who had financial difficulties and could not afford to buy a house.

Knock Knock.

Yin Muchen came to a door, reached out, and knocked on the door.

The door opened very quickly. It was a middle-aged man in his 50s.

When the man saw Yin Muchen, he closed the door. “Why are you here again, Muchen? How many times have I said that I don’t know much about your father.”

Yin Muchen quickly pushed against the door. “Uncle, please don’t close the door. I just want to say a few words to you. You are my dad’s good friend. My dad is an accountant. They all said that my dad stole millions in public funds and jumped to his death when his deeds were revealed, but Uncle, I do not believe that. I do not believe that my dad is such a person.”

The man sighed. “Muchen, it’s true that your father misappropriated public funds. The police announced that the case was solved. Although I’m good friends with your father, I’m just a driver. I don’t know the situation.”

“Uncle, I know you don’t know. I’m not putting you on the spot, but I want to ask you to help me. Do you have the contact information of the boss of my father’s company? I want to check the account my father handled,” Yin Muchen replied.

The man shook his head. “Muchen, because your father had moved public funds, the company could not operate. The company has already gone bankrupt. What accounts could there be? And I heard that the boss went abroad. Muchen, you are still a child. Don’t worry about these things anymore. I’ve heard that you have been taken away by a wealthy family. You live a safe and peaceful life then. You living well will be the greatest comfort to your father.”

The man was about to close the door after speaking.

“Uncle, I’ll ask you one last question. Do you know…where my mother went?” Yin Muchen asked.

When the man heard this, he was furious. “Don’t mention your mother anymore! When your father was in deep water, your mother ran faster than a rabbit. She didn’t even want her son. And you still care about her? When your dad got married, I disapproved of this marriage. Your mom was born so beautiful that any man would take a second look at her. How could she live contentedly with your dad? I saw her get in a limousine when your dad was in trouble. She had run away with a rich man long ago!”

The man closed the door with a bang after he finished.

…

Yin Shuiling looked at her brother in front of her. His head hung down, and she wondered what he was thinking about, but his hands on his side had been balled into fists.

Yin Shuiling was frightened. She rushed forward and tugged her brother’s clothes. “Older Brother, Older Brother, what’s wrong? Can’t Older Brother find your parents?”
