Chapter 573: Shuiling, I Am Sorry, I Still Do Not Want To Die Just Yet
Yin Shuiling lay down on her side, and her back faced him. Upon hearing his words, she opened her eyes and softly asked, “Where did you make a mistake?”
Yin Muchen froze, and actually, he also did not know what he did wrong.
That day, he cancelled the candlelight dinner, and she treated him coldly since then. She wanted the farm and he went to purchase it immediately, but the moment he returned, she said those words to him over the phone.
…
But it was fine whether he had made a mistake or not. As long as she was willing to not be angry, it was all fine as long as she was willing to bother about him.
“Shuiling, if you are angry, it must definitely by my fault. Can we not bring what happened in the past? Don’t go to England — stay by my side and accompany me, okay?”
Yin Shuiling did not say anything, and she closed her eyes once again.
Yin Muchen looked at her small, exquisite face and bent down to kiss her red lips. His voice was soft and pitiful as he said with a hint of coyness, “Shuiling, I am hungry now. Is there any food in the kitchen? Can you make something for me to eat? A simple one is fine.”
Yin Shuiling acted as if she did not hear anything and did not bother about him.
Yin Muchen looked at her for a moment, knew that she was not willing to do so, and stood up a while later. “Then I will go to the kitchen to eat a simple meal. Don’t run all over the place. I will come back very quickly.”
He headed towards the door.
He placed his hand on the handle of the door as he wanted to open the door, and at this moment, a black shadow that entered Yin Muchen’s vision. He turned his gaze sideways to have a look. Between the gap of the sofa and the wall, there was a black pair of men’s briefs.
Yin Muchen could tell at first glance that this did not belong to him.
Then who did this belong to?
Which man?
His broad and tall figure was frozen, and he slowly turned around. He looked at the small, petite figure on the bed. The corners of his eyes were red before he lifted his handsome eyebrows.
Other than him, there was no other man in this villa, other than… It was someone she brought back.
When did she bring him back?
It was probably while he was in the hospital, in a coma.
He moved his thin lips, wanting to speak, but his voice was stuck in his throat, and at last, he did not say anything at all.
He placed his large hand on the door handle before he walked out of the room.
When he went down the stairs, he felt that his chest was in pain, the large truck that he collided with was made out of transport steel. When both vehicles collided with one another, a beam of steel pierced through the windows in the direction of his eyes. He was quick witted as he turned his head to the side to duck away, but when the second beam came crashing down, it pierced through the left side of his chest directly, and he was badly injured.
Yin Muchen stood at the top of the stairs as he painted painfully for a moment. After the dizziness in his head disappeared, there was already a layer of cold sweat that appeared on his forehead. He went downstairs and walked into the kitchen.
The lights in the kitchen were not switched on. He stretched his hand out to switch on the ceiling lights. The distant blurry lights spewed down onto his shoulders. The hospital gown was a little too big, and it made his normally broad and tall figure look way more slim than usual. His face was very pale, and he walked to the refrigerator before he opened it up to search for food.
He was really famished. Over the past two days, he was given some nutrition IV drip, and when he woke up, he felt that his stomach was empty.
These three years, he was always busy with work. There were times during business gatherings that he had to drink alcohol and smoke. Aunty reminded him numerous times that he had to take care of his own gastrointestinal system and body, but he did not take it to heart at all.
At this moment, he was ravenous. His entire gastric system was hurting, and the pain was unbearable for him.
There was nothing much in the fridge for him to eat. There would not be any leftovers placed in the kitchen, and everything was fresh and raw.
He had a look before stretching his hand out to take a tomato.
He closed the door of the fridge, and he walked to the sink to wash it.
After cleaning it, he placed the tomato by the side of his lips. Actually, he was very fussy with food. He also did not enjoy eating tomatoes too much, but at this moment, in order to fill his stomach, it was fine to eat tomatoes.
He opened his mouth, wanting to take a bite.
But he was unable to do so successfully because the tomato in his hands was snatched away by a small hand. Plop! The tomato was thrown into the rubbish bin.
Yin Muchen turned his gaze sideways to have a look. Yin Shuiling was here.
She stared at him with her cold, moist eyes.
Yin Muchen smiled and coaxed her with a gentle tone. “Shuiling, don’t throw a tantrum. I am really hungry. My stomach does not feel too good. You go upstairs to sleep. I will go and accompany you later.”
Yin Shuiling did not say anything and just stared at him plainly.
Yin Muchen stretched his tongue out to lick his thin chapped lips. He fluttered his thick eyelashes, and he made a concession with a smile on his face. “Okay, if you do not allow me to eat, I won’t eat then. I would not die just because I am hungry… Let’s go. Let’s go back into the room.”
He went to hold her small hand.
But he was unable to because Yin Shuiling turned around and walked towards the fridge.
She opened the door and used her small, fair hand to pick the ingredients.
Yin Muchen froze for a moment before the expression on his pale face was replaced with extreme happiness. He took huge strides forward and pinned the girl in his embrace from behind. He kissed her hair forcefully as he murmured, “You are really so good. I just knew that you would not bear for me… Don’t pick the ingredients anymore. Just make something simple. Make a bowl of noodles for me, okay?”
Yin Shuiling’s small hand that was in the midst of picking ingredients froze.
Today…
Yin Muchen placed his head on her tender neck and sniffed the soft fragrance on her body. “Shuiling, you remember, right? It’s my birthday today… I want to eat noodles, longevity noodles…”
As he spoke, he softly kissed the soft and supple skin on her tender neck. He laughed, and his laugh was tainted with sadness, self mockingness, and coldness as he said, “Shuiling, I am sorry, I still do not want to die just yet…because you are still on this earth. I want to live for a very very long time. I want to enjoy longevity…. Shuiling, in the future, can you die before me?”
Yin Shuiling felt that this man was sick in the head. Would anyone else be serious like him and negotiate about her dying before him?
Was he cursing her?
She should be angry, but she was unable to be angry at him. She lifted her gaze and controlled the hot tears in her eyes as she said, “Go away. I am about to cook the noodles now…”
She moved her small, soft body, wanting to shake him off.
“You do your thing, and I will hug you. I will not disturb you.” He was unwilling to let go.
Yin Shuiling did not have any other choice. She could walk to the side of the sink. She placed some water into the pot and switched on the fire to boil it. Yin Muchen was quiet as he hugged her from behind and was unwilling to separate from her.
Yin Shuiling washed the small onions before taking out the cutting board and knife. Both of her small hands were experienced and attractive as she prepared the ingredients. When she sliced the onions, there was a small sound as she did so. The cold and plain kitchen became warm because of this sound she was creating.
The warmth of a home.
Yin Muchen was extremely happy. He firmly held her small waist, and he bent down by the side of her ear to lovingly murmur, “Shuiling, in the past, in my family, my father would get off work punctually every day. My mother would guide me with homework, and when my mother saw my father come back, she would stand up, go into the kitchen, and start to stir fry vegetables… Mum said that Dad was the pillar in our family, so our family had to wait for our father to come home to start eating dinner, and we had to let Dad have hot soup and piping hot rice…
“Shuiling, the family that I have imagined to be is just like my dad and mum. In the future, my wife doesn’t have to earn money to raise the family and also doesn’t have to be pretty just like a flower. As long as she is just like my mother, it will be okay. And I…would be just like my father…”
Just like how his father supported and provided for his mother.
Yin Shuiling listened to his words and felt very uncomfortable. She met him when she was only 8 years old, but he rarely spoke about his family with her. The only thing that she knew about was that others all said that his father was a thief, and his mother ran away with a wealthy man…
Listening to him speak about it now, she knew that his family must have been very blissful. His parents must had been in love, but why did such a blissful family get ruined?
Or maybe, what Liu Caizhe said was right. Actually, other than being rich and having an attractive outlook, he was also just…a pitiful person after all.
Yin Shuiling controlled the sadness inside her heart. She moved her pouty lips as she said, “I would definitely not turn into a person like your mother, so you should go and look for someone else.”
“Yeah.” Yin Muchen kissed her small face. His tone was normal as he said, “That was my thinking back in the past. I wanted to search for a woman just like my mother, but ever since I met you, I realized that any standards that I had in the past are all just standards, and now I only want you…”
The tip of Yin Shuiling’s nose turned sour. She quickly bit her lip to stop herself from crying out loud. What was wrong with him tonight? He kept changing his angle to say sweet nothings to her nonstop.
Could they actually not be words of romance?
He wanted her to die before him. He said that after meeting her, he ignored all of the standards that he had in the past and only wanted her…
Other men would all say things like I love you and let the girl smile, but he only knew how to say these depressing words and make her cry.
She did not like to listen to them at all.
She pretended to be stubborn as she said, “What is the use of you wanting me? I do not want you back…”
Yin Muchen laughed softly. He was emotional as he said, “Shui Ling, did you know what I felt when I met you when I was 18 years old? I, actually, to be honest, was a child born in a normal working class family. At that time, the girls that I’d been exposed to were all very normal, but after I met you, you were really a small little princess. You looked just like a princess. You had a pure and beautiful heart just like a princess… At that time, you were just like a luxurious product to me. Because I couldn’t get you, I wanted to have you even more. When I heard you calling me ‘Older Brother,’ my entire body would turn hard. When you slept by my side, I would just…get wet… Shuiling, did you know? In front of you, I am always very dark and shameless, similarly, I also…have low self esteem…
“A man like me who started out from scratch would never be able to be compared to those rich boys from powerful families. They are all similar in age to you, powerful and influential… Mu Yunfan, Fan Chengsi, Jack, you met them when you were in the prime of your youth, not like me. During the 7 years that I was in America, I had many…”
Women…
“I know that I am not compatible with you. You can be matched with men better than me… It is also normal for you not to want me. I also do not dare to think about having a day that you would be just like my mother… I do not even dare to think about having you. How did I dare to dream…
“But, Shuiling, I dare to think about it now. My life is at its peak because of you. I would not let go of your hand ever again because you are the bliss that the Yin family owes me.”
The bliss that the Yin family owes him?
Yin Shuiling would never understand. What did the Yin family owe him exactly, and even if they really owed him, wasn’t it all enough for the Yin family to be ruined?
But she was unable to say it. If she said it out loud, it would just be another quarrel. The Yin family was a forbidden zone that could not be brought up between them. He would not give in, and she was stubborn. In the end, they were just like porcupines that would prick each other when touched.
But now, she understood why he did not believe her when she told her that she loved him three years ago. It was because he had low self esteem…
She was 8 years old at the start. When she was 15 years old, she was silly and did not know anything at all and only knew how to address him as ‘Older Brother.’ When he secretly closed the door and let out a man’s desires on her body, he also felt that he was being shameless…
But after that, her mother created that misunderstanding, and it turned into a thorn inside his heart that would forever exist there.
It was fate that was playing around with them.
“You go away. The noodles are done. I am going to scoop them out now.” She broke out of his embrace.
