Chapter 523 - A Woman (1/2)
He would forever remember the time when she hugged him when she was eight years old, when she said that she would protect him in the future.
She would forever be his little angel.
It was simply not possible for him to be together with her. Or maybe, she had never thought about the possibility of being together with him. It was also better this way, and it would cut all of his longing that he had.
Since this was the case, then he would put her in the safest place and take the role as an “Older Brother” and protect her for his entire life.
Liu Caizhe found this topic to be very depressing, so he switched the topic by saying, “Muchen, it is the eve of Spring Festival tonight. The Mu family went to the Yin family to be guests. The Yin family must have long prepared a lavish feast, both families must be happily enjoying their meals with one another.”
Yin Muchen snorted and did not answer.
…
The luxurious vehicle quickly stopped on the porch of the condominium unit. Liu Caizhe alighted from the car and opened the back door. Yin Muchen took both his suit and coat in his hands as he alighted from the car, and at this moment, Liu Caizhe said, “Muchen, it is the eve of Spring Festival tonight. Look at the lights s.h.i.+ning brightly in every home. Why don’t you come with us to have a drink? You also should not return home alone. Don’t you feel lonely all alone in a dark home? Bring Lidy along and let her accompany you.”
Lidy, who was in the car, was brought up. She quickly look at Yin Muchen with an expectant gaze.
Yin Muchen looked at the light s.h.i.+ning brightly among the numerous households. It was really warm, and there were fireworks bursting out into the sky, and he almost could hear the ringing sound of merry laughter and chatting among the people.
It was the eve of Spring Festival, and everyone was in the middle of reuniting with one another.
Only he was all alone by himself.
Yin Muchen laughed and did not look at Lidy. “There is no need for that. You should go.”
He lifted his long legs as he headed towards the condominium unit.
Lidy’s expression turned dark. Liu Caizhe looked at the man’s handsome and lonely back profile, and he let out a sigh.
…
Inside the condominium unit, Yin Muchen opened the door and went inside. It was all dark. There was no one, no lights, and no sound. Aunty was not around. He placed both of his hands in his pockets as he looked around his surroundings.
He switched the ceiling lights on, and the yellow glow spewed down on him, making his back profile look extremely long. He threw his car keys onto coffee table, and he placed both of his hands in his pockets.
He was very bored and also did not know what he wanted to do. He lifted his long legs, and when he regained his senses, he was already standing in the kitchen. His gaze was fixed on the cutting-board that was hung on the wall.
Actually, he also did not know what he was looking at. He must have been dreaming of that day. He dreamt that the girl went on her tiptoes as she went on to hold the cutting board, and she probably wanted to cook for him.
He did not know how to cook, and the women that he had were like An Mengwen, Lidy…. To please him, they all learned how to cook, but he did not taste it before, and he did not want to try it.
When he had needs, it was all in the hotel, and he did not go to a woman’s bedroom. He also never brought a woman back home.
He would leave after he was done — brisk and nonchalant.
In the deepest part of his heart, he also craved for a woman to cook for him.
He was simply picky. No matter whether it was kissing or cooking, he had already decided on that woman in the bottom of his heart.
It could only be her.
Yin Muchen laughed and turned around to head out of the kitchen. He went up the staircase. The girl’s room was already sealed up. He would not go and look at it again. He went inside his own bedroom and collapsed on the bed.
He actually had not done anything at all, but he was already so exhausted that he did not want to move anymore.
The loud festivities outside had nothing to do with him, and he quietly closed his eyes.
He did not want to shower, and he also did not want to work. He just laid down on the bed like that and decided to sleep…
But he was unable to fall asleep. There was a part of his body that felt uncomfortable. He lowered his gaze down to have a look, and it was just as what he had predicted…
After meeting the girl today, he was rash once again.
He was 26 years old now. He was at the prime of his youth, and in the past, when he was in America, he would be greedy for an outlet to satisfy himself. He did not feel that it was very enjoyable, but what was wrong with him during this period of time? He could not control his own body. He would be unable to control it the moment she appeared in front of him, and he was being way too sensitive.
Yin Muchen closed his eyes and stretched his hand out to take the tissue paper that was placed on the bed stand, then he went downwards…
…
After winter, spring came. Yin Shuiling lost her freedom entirely. Her life was restricted between school and the Yin family villa, but when she had the opportunity to head out of the house, there was a chauffeur and bodyguards trailing behind her.
“Yin Muchen” had already turned into a forbidden word in the Yin family. Yin De and s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing did not bring this name up ever again. They intended for Yin Shuiling to give up entirely. Yin Shuiling also did not bring this name up once again. Her love, she hid it in the bottom of her heart.
Yin Shuiling, who had always been an obedient girl, fell out with her family very quickly. Neither party wanted to back down. Every time that she came home on the weekends, she was not on speaking terms with her parents. The Yin family seemed to be united on the surface, but their relations.h.i.+p with one another got even more cold and distant underneath the veneer.
But Yin De and s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing’s relations.h.i.+p with the Mu family got even better as the days went by. The two families would meet one another two to three times a month, and they would dress Yin Shuiling up extremely extravagantly to attend the Mu family’s business dealings. Yin Shuiling was unable to reject them. She was just like a puppet as they forced her to do so as they pleased. She did not smile again, and when she reached the Mu home, she always liked to look outside the window, and she would antic.i.p.ate Yin Muchen’s sudden appearance…
She antic.i.p.ated that he would emerge from the skies to save her.
Her love was met with a huge blow when she was 16 years old. She was brave as she stood in the rain and put up a fight all alone. She hoped so fervently that she was not alone in her fight. She hoped so fervently that in these desperate days, he could accompany her and stay by her side.
But Yin Muchen did not come.
What came after that was news that wowed the entertainment industry. Yin Muchen started to hang out with many daughters of wealthy families. The women by his side changed non stop. In the jewellery shop, in the five star hotel, there was always a photograph of him holding hands with a woman romantically at any given time.
He started to play around with girls.
Yin Shuiling went to look for Yin Muchen before. Ning Qing helped her to conceal it/ She climbed out of the main doors of the dorm in the middle of the night. She managed to slip past the people on guard. She went into the condominium unit. There was a woman inside the condominium unit that day; it was Lidy. Aunty felt awkward as she stood there. She wept while she knocked on the door.
