Chapter 542 - The Front Passenger Seat Should Be Left For Sister-In-Law
Chapter 542: The Front Passenger Seat Should Be Left For Sister-In-Law
But Heavens did not let her wishes come true. The elevator dinged, and a few more people entered the lift. Everyone squeezed towards the back, and she had no time to duck away. She stumbled with her steps and fell towards the back.
Yin Muchen, who was once standing by her side, also retreated when she did not take notice. As she fell towards the back, her entire beautiful back fell directly into the man’s broad embrace.
Yin Muchen placed both of his hands in his pockets and did not touch her.
But both of their bodies were tightly plastered against one another.
“When did you return?”
“…Yesterday,” she answered while she moved her body, wanting to maintain some distance with him.
But there was another tall man that blocking her path, and she was unable to move away.
“Where are you living now?” Yin Muchen continued to ask her.
What were they chatting about now!
Shameless.
She knew that he was obviously waiting for the chance to take advantage of her.
Yin Shuiling gave up on moving anymore. She turned her small head to the side. She raised her narrow eyes as she looked at Yin Muchen who was behind her. She had a lazy and charming smile on her face. Her voice was soft and coy as she said, “I rented a condominium unit… After Older Brother has time, you can come over to visit.”
Yin Muchen looked at her being casual and cool. She had grown up in the past three years, and she was already a small woman now.
He was uncomfortable as he saw Yin Shuiling’s friendly eyes slowly turn cold. She watched him swallow his saliva, and the expression on her face was both cold and mocking.
Yin Muchen felt that there was a cold bucket of water that was poured down from the top of his head. In the past, he bullied her when she was younger and did not know anything at all. Things were different now, and she knew everything already.
He lowered his volume and apologized, “Sorry, your breath is getting in my face…”
Yin Shuiling was bored as she shrugged her shoulders. Okay then, blame her for it.
Ding! The doors opened up, and Yin Shuiling walked out of the lift.
…
She was at a disadvantage in the lift, so when they entered the private room of the hotel, Yin Shuiling picked the seat opposite Yin Muchen. Pudding accompanied her, and President Zheng was together with Yin Muchen. There were other editors present around the table.
Pudding poured some white wine into Yin Shuiling’s glass as she said, “Rubus Coronarius, come, let me give you a glass.”
President Zheng waved his hands immediately, “Can Miss Yin take alcohol? If you cannot drink, you can replace wine with tea.”
It was such a joke, with this big Buddha Yin Muchen sitting here, how would he dare to ask Yin Shuiling to drink?
Yin Shuiling took the wine glass and clinked her glass with Pudding’s. “It is okay. I can drink a bit. Although my face will turn red, I will not get drunk.”
“Okay, this is way cooler.” Pudding was happy as she clinked glasses with Yin Shuiling.
Yin Shuiling took a small sip.
President Zheng looked at the wine glass placed in front of Yin Muchen. It was empty. He personally took the wine glass up and stood up to pour alcohol for Yin Muchen. “President Yin can drink, right? Let me serve you a glass.”
At this moment, Hu Ya stepped forward politely and stopped him. “President Zheng, our President Yin is not drinking, he has to drive afterwards.”
President Zheng heard Hu Ya’s words and knew that Hu Ya was trying to reject him. “President Yin, you can let Secretary Hu drive. It is fine to drink a little bit. Could President Yin have ended up in some trouble in the past due to drinking? Haha, men do have sex randomly after drinking…”
With his last sentence, Hu Ya gave President Zheng a long stare.
President Zheng’s heart thumped. Could it actually…be true?
Oh my god, damned everything he said!
President Zheng placed the wine glass back down immediately. He grabbed a bottle of fruit juice and poured it into Yin Muchen’s glass. Without hesitation or embarrassment, he said, “President Yin, let’s drink fruit juice. Actually, I also cannot drink. Come, let’s cheers.”
Yin Shuiling looked at Yin Muchen, who was seated opposite her. After Yin Muchen clinked glasses with President Zheng, he lifted his head up slightly to shake the fruit juice in the glass, but his gaze was in her direction.
In one moment, the two were looking at each other.
Three years ago, he was reckless after drinking…
They did not say anything, but they could not forget what has happened in the past.
Yin Muchen had a gentle expression on his handsome face. Even his deep eyes had an apologetic and pitiful emotion in them.
Yin Shuiling was calm as she averted her gaze away. She did not accept his apology and pity.
She did not need it anymore.
At this moment, Pudding said, “Shuiling, we are almost done with our meal. We will hand the meeting over to both President Yin and President Zheng then. Let’s go to the side to play games, whoever loses the game would have to answer each other’s questions, or you would have to drink; how about that?”
“Sure.” Yin Shuiling nodded her head.
…
Five or six women stood around the round table. There were many wine bottles and glasses stacked onto the table. The women shed some clothing and started to play happily — rock, paper, scissors.
President Zheng on the other side took a cigarette from Yin Muchen and leaned over to help Yin Muchen light the cigarette up. “President Yin, you didn’t bring your young girlfriend out to play today?”
Yin Muchen had a girlfriend; everyone in T City knew that.
Yin Muchen pinched a cigarette between his fingers and took a puff. The puff of smoke emerged out of his sexy thin lips. He shook his head and said, “No, she has classes to attend.”
“Oh, I got it. President Yin, you found a female university student that is ten years younger than yourself to be your girlfriend? Is she very coy?”
Yin Muchen laughed, as if he was thinking about his little girlfriend. There was love and gentleness on the bottom of his eyes as he said, “How could that be? She is very obedient and listens to me very well.”
“That is more like it. President Yin is so rich and handsome — what woman would not be obedient?”
Yin Muchen’s gaze scanned the direction in front of him, and his gaze stopped on Yin Shuiling. He snorted out with a “Hah!” There was a mocking smile on the corners of his lips. “That does not apply to all women.”
No matter what President Zheng continued to say, Yin Muchen did not reply to him anymore. He placed his handsome figure against the seat, and he squinted his narrow eyes while he raised his eyebrows up to smoke. The billows of smoke wafted around him, and he very blatantly looked at the small woman from head to toe.
The short candy-coloured sleeveless dress was really suited for her. The colour was bright and attractive, and it made her skin look fair and smooth. The skirt was also short enough. It was above her kneecaps. A man like Yin Muchen would not have known that every woman walking down the streets would dress like this today. He just found the skirt to be short, and the woman’s fair, beautiful legs were exposed, and even worse, she wore a pair of metallic summer boots on her feet, and the aura of not being allowed to approach her was very apparent.
His mind was still full of what she looked like three years ago. At that time, she only wore white and pink. There was a time he brought her shopping to try and purchase some bright colours like blue and red, and she still did not like it at that time.
Now that she liked it, she made use of her youth and beauty, and she dolled herself up prettily, looking like a flower.
He really missed her so much.
At this moment, he heard the sound of merry-making. Pudding was clapping as she said, “Rubus Coronarius, you have lost the game. I want to ask a question; do you have a boyfriend now? Of course, you can choose not to answer. You can drink, instead.”
This question made Yin Muchen lift his gaze back up again to look at Yin Shuiling.
Yin Shuiling just drank some alcohol, and now her palm-sized face had two patches of red on it. She was having fun, and she used her small hand to tuck the hair by her cheek behind her ears. She winked sensually as she laughed and said, “I will not drink. I will answer, I…have a boyfriend now. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 — this is my eighth boyfriend.”
The women all laughed as they said, “Rubus Coronarius, is that true or not? The speed of you changing boyfriends is way too fast, don’t lie to all of us.”
“I am not bluffing; whoever lies in this game is pitiful!”
“Okay, let’s continue to play.”….
…
The dinner appointment was very joyous, and as it neared nine at night, everyone left, exiting the main doors of the hotel.
Pudding held Yin Shuiling’s small hand as she said, “Rubus Coronarius, it is so late right now. You are such a beautiful girl; don’t call a cab. It is dangerous. We took the company bus to come here. We will take you back before we head back.”
Yin Shuiling had yet to reply, and President Zheng stepped forward quickly. He used his gaze to give Pudding a hint as he said, “Rubus Coronarius, I did not drive today. I have to take the bus back. There are not enough seats now. What about this; let President Yin take you back. We will be leaving. We will contact you again.”
He did not wait for Pudding to say anything, and President Zheng pushed Pudding into the car.
The bus left.
Yin Shuiling stood on the spot as she sent the bus off with her gaze. She was also frustrated. President Zheng was being too obvious.
At this moment, a clean and pure masculine scent came into her nostrils. Yin Muchen stood by her side as he said, “I will bring you back.”
“Sure.” Yin Shuiling nodded her head. It was true that it was a little dangerous for her to call a cab at this hour. If there were a car, and she did not take it, it would be extra for her not to take it. “This President Zheng is trying to get into Older Brother’s good books so badly, if I do not take Older Brother’s car, wouldn’t that be a waste of President Zheng’s efforts?”
Yin Muchen listened on as he hummed, without saying a word.
Hu Ya drove the car out from the basement carpark. He’d also gotten a new car in the past three years. He switched his Maybach for a Rolls Royce.
Hu Ya got out of the car and handed the keys to Yin Muchen.
“Get in the car.” Yin Muchen pulled the door of the front passenger seat open.
“Older Brother, there is no need. I will still sit in the back.” Yin Shuiling opened the back door.
Yin Muchen stared at her.
Yin Shuiling also did not look at him. She went inside the car as she nonchalantly said, “I should still leave the front passenger seat for Sister-In-Law.”
Yin Muchen was silent for a few seconds. He closed the front passenger door before he got onto the car.
The black Rolls Royce cruised smoothly on the road.
The neon lights of the city streamed into the car windows and shone down on the man’s face. The 31-year-old man that had settled down, he looked mighty and reserved, and those bright lights shone past his neat hairline, making him look mesmerizing.
After driving for some distance, he looked into the rear view mirror to look at Yin Shuiling, who was seated in the back. He said, “I have yet to get married.”
“Oh, is that true?” Yin Shuiling took her phone out from her bag, and she was using the app in the phone to edit the gif that she’d drawn in the morning. “Older Brother is 31 years old this year. You are not young anymore, after a few more years, your body will not be able to function as well anymore. You should settle down soon and look for a good woman to start a family.”
Yin Muchen found her words to be piercing as he said, “You are saying that I am old?”
