Chapter 637: Qingqing, I Will Become A Better Person
Yin Muchen had still not awoken by the next morning. Liu Caizhe stood up and said, “Secretary Hu, stay here. I’m going out to smoke a cigarette.”
“Okay.” Hu Ya nodded his head.
Liu Caizhe walked out of the hospital ward. He headed towards the stairwell and coincidentally met Xiao Yao, who was walking over in his direction. Xiao Yao saw him, and she was very alarmed as she said, “Manager Liu, I’ve finally found you. Where is Muchen? I heard that he is sick. I am here to take care of him.”
Liu Caizhe stopped in his tracks, and he looked at Xiao Yao and said, “Miss Xiao, please go back. Muchen does not need you to take care of him.”
After he was done speaking, he walked towards the stairwell.
“Manager Liu.” Xiao Yao continued, “I have always thought that you were an intelligent person. You would think of the long run and know what’s best. You should know what you should and should not do. Muchen needs me, not that lost and disfigured princess.”
Liu Caizhe turned around, and he pondered for a moment before he slowly said, “Miss Xiao, if this was back in the past, I could confirm that you would be more suited for Muchen compared to Miss Yin. At that time, I thought I was very smart, but it wasn’t until now that I realized I have been living like a fool. You and Miss Yin, based on your capabilities, if you are ten marks, then Miss Yin is only one, but, if there is a day that Muchen is in danger and needs help, your ten points have additional conditions and might not even give one point over to Muchen, but as for Miss Yin, she would give everything that she has with her. Her one mark could turn into ten marks.”
“You…” Xiao Yao was frozen.
“Miss Xiao, actually, I also have always seen your father as an intelligent person. To get Muchen to agree to a collaboration that he is not entirely willing to enter, why not take this chance for Ah Fan. Let Muchen owe you something, Muchen ah. He has always been someone who would repay his debts to those who have helped him. Towards people that have evil intentions, I hope that you make the right decision.”
Liu Caizhe went into the stairwell.
…
Inside the hospital ward, Liu Caizhe walked out, and Hu Ya also stood up. He walked into the bathroom to take a towel out, wanting to help Yin Muchen wipe his face.
He walked over to the side of the bed. Yin Muchen had already opened his eyes.
“President, you are awake?” Hu Ya was extremely delighted, he quickly stretched his hand out to help Yin Muchen sit up as he said, “President, how do you feel? I will go and get the doctor.”
Yin Muchen lifted his hand up to support his head. He did not say anything, but he stared at Hu Ya quietly.
Hu Ya froze. Over the past few days, the man had grown a layer of stubble on his chin. The man looked even more elegant and cold than before. The cold, sinister aura seemed to steam out from the depths of his body. He did not say anything, and he was only using his sharp gaze that was akin to a hawk as he looked over at Hu Ya. It was as if he was going to slice through Hu Ya with his gaze.
Hu Ya never saw Yin Muchen looking like this before. He started to stutter, “President, you…”
“Hah…” Yin Muchen laughed softly. His voice was extremely hoarse from the stress. He asked, “Secretary Hu? Have you forgotten what the role of a secretary entails?”
Hu Ya: “…”
Liu Caizhe took a smoke break and went back into the hospital ward. He noticed that Hu Ya was standing politely at one side. Yin Muchen had already awoken. He lifted the blankets up and got out of the bed. Liu Caizhe said, “Muchen, you are awake? Secretary Hu, did you call for the doctor already? Muchen is awake already. Why are you not doing anything?”
Liu Caizhe stepped forward to help Yin Muchen.
But he was unable to touch Yin Muchen’s hand. Bang! Yin Muchen gave Liu Caizhe a slap.
Liu Caizhe crashed into the cupboard, and the corners of his lips were bleeding as he asked, “Ah Chen, what’s wrong with you?”
Yin Muchen took one step after another towards Liu Caizhe. There were many scary blood vessels inside his eyes, and even his large hands by his sides were kneaded tightly into fists as he said, “You ask what’s wrong with me? Hah, Liu Caizhe, you are still not embarrassed to ask me what’s wrong? Do you need me to remind you about the good things that you have done?”
Liu Caizhe’s eyes widened as he said, “Muchen, you found out about everything?”
“Yeah, I know. I know everything.” Yin Muchen nodded his head. He stretched his hand out to grab Liu Caizhe’s collar and pressed him against the wall as he said, “Little Mute is Shuiling! That child was mine! You are really so capable, both you and Secretary Hu are really so capable. You two are the ones I trust the most, but both of you worked with one another to fool me behind my back! Looking at how both me and Shui Ling are in so much pain, looking at how I called my own child a little bastard, looking at me live like a fool for nine whole years, you are happy now? You are happy now!”
“Muchen, sorry, this is my mistake. I always thought that I could mitigate the eventual pain. I thought I was doing all of this for your good…”
“Ha, haha…” Yin Muchen broke out into loud laughter until he started to cry. There was moisture in his eyes, and he scrunched his handsome face up. He glared at Liu Caizhe as he said, “Doing this for my good? Saying this sentence doing it for my good is really the funniest joke that I have ever heard! Am I leading a good life right now? Did you ever think that I could not have a worse life compared to you? If it wasn’t for you and Liu Caizhe, I would be leading a better life. How did you dare to hide this away from me and help me to make the decision? There were so many choices available to me, but it was all because you thought that you were doing this for my good, so you have forced me to go on this desperate path.
“Liu Caizhe, I have always treated you as a friend. I thought that between friends, we should maintain a certain level of distance between one another and give each other respect for our mutual comfort. Weren’t you always intelligent and confident? Could you not know what I always wanted to possess? I wanted a home, a home together with Shuiling. It is not that I, Yin Muchen don’t like children, but it is because Shuiling is unable to get pregnant, so I do not dare to think about it. I, Yin Muchen, am already 34 years old this year. Could I actually not be qualified to be a father now?
“Liu Caizhe, this is what you did for my own good? I am not well at all right now. The girl appeared in my life when I was 18 years old, and she gave me warmth. I actually wanted to use my life to protect her, but now, everything is ruined. I have made her life so unfortunate!”
Yin Muchen let go of Liu Caizhe. Liu Caizhe slid down onto the floor, and he was extremely regretful as he said, “Mu Chen, I am sorry… I am really so sorry…”
Other than saying sorry, he had nothing else to say.
Yin Muchen stretched his hand out to touch his face before he said, “Hand in your resignation tomorrow. For the rest of my life, I do not want to see you again. Also, for you..” Yin Muchen pointed at Hu Ya and said, “I think you do not know what a secretary should do at all. I will punish you and scale you six grades down, and you can start afresh from the lowest level in the company.”
…
Yin Muchen went back to the villa. He opened the main doors and rushed inside as he said, “Shuiling, Shuiling, where are you?”
The large villa was empty and quiet. Only the sound of his voice reverberated inside. Yin Muchen had a look around his surroundings and rushed upstairs. He opened the door, “Shuiling, Shui…”
There was no one inside the room. Yin Shuiling was not around. The blankets on the bed were neat and tidy. Nothing was missing inside the room. Yin Muchen walked over to the closet, and saw that she had not taken a single piece of clothing, but her comic book was gone. She’d taken it away with her.
All of the energy in Yin Muchen’s body was sucked away. He did not have strength in him as he lay back on the wall and panted for his breath. Shuiling has left. She’s really gone…
Yin Muchen froze for a few seconds before he headed out the door.
He stepped into the Rolls Royce, and he dialed Ning Qing’s number.
The call was connected very quickly. Ning Qing’s voice came over from the other end. “Hello, Older Brother Yin…”
“Hello, Ning Qing, is Shuiling with you?”
Ning Qing froze for a few seconds before she said, “Yeah, she is with me, but Older Brother Yin, Shuiling does not want to see you.”
Yin Muchen hung up immediately, and he stepped down on the accelerator to speed towards the Lu family villa.
…
The car stopped on the lawn in front of the villa. He opened the door and stepped out before loudly saying, “Shuiling, I want to see you. Can you come out now?”
Nobody answered.
The main doors of the villa did not open up.
“Shuiling, I know you can hear me. I will be right here waiting for you. If you do not come out, I will not leave.”
Inside the villa, Yin Shuiling stood by the windows. The gentle early spring breeze blew over. It was just like a gentle hand brushing past her face. She leaned against the window and felt the greatness of nature.
“Shuiling, don’t you feel cold standing here?” At this moment, Ning Qing walked over.
Yin Shuiling had a warm, gentle smile on her face as she said, “I am not cold.” As she spoke, she stretched her hand out to touch Ning Qing’s stomach that was already showing. She continued, “Isn’t it just two months? Why are you already showing?”
Ning Qing smiled and said, “Because this time, it is a pair of twins.”
“Really?” Yin Shuiling was extremely surprised. She cupped Ning Qing’s stomach with both of her hands before jealously saying, “That’s great, Qingqing! You are really so lucky.”
Ning Qing held Yin Shuiling’s small, cold hands as she said, “Shuiling, you can also do it. It is still the same thing. Medical technology is very advanced right now. As long as you are willing.”
“Can I really?” Yin Shuiling had an uncertain expression on her face.
“Yeah.” Ning Qing nodded her head confidently, then continued, “Shuiling, no matter where you go, you are not alone. You still have me, as long as you call, I will be by your side.”
“Thank you, Qingqing.”
“Between us, you don’t have to say thank you.” Ning Qing had a look at the small luggage bag by the corner of the wall, and she said, “Are you sure that you are going to leave tomorrow morning? Going off to France?”
“Yeah, I want to go out to have a look. Qingqing, upon my return, I will be a better person.”
“Shuiling, I believe you. Actually, you are someone who is gentle outside and strong on the inside. No matter what troubles come your way, nothing can stop you from growing. You only come out of it more and more brave.”
“Okay.” Yin Shuiling nodded her head and said, “Qingqing, in the upcoming Tomb Sweeping Festivals I will trouble you to go over to my mother, father, and Aunty’s tomb to pray. Bring them some flowers for me.”
Ning Qing curled the corners of her lips up as she said, “Shuiling, you did not forget right?”
“No, I did not forget. I did not forget that it was Aunty who caused my mother’s death. Similarly, I did not forget that I was the one who stabbed my father to death. You told me this. Older Brother got engaged to Xiao Yao because of that disk. I know all of this. There was a long period of time that my mind was in a huge mess. I was unwilling to think of those things because I did not get it. I do not know who was the one who owed the other party, and I didn’t know where I fit into this all. Qingqing, I need some time to let go. This city that’s given me so much sadness, I want to leave it.”
Ning Qing stretched her hand out to hug Yin Shuiling, and she said, “I understand. Hand everything to time. Everything will get better.”
Yin Shuiling also stretched her arm out to hug Ning Qing back.
“Shuiling, Older Brother Yin has been downstairs for the entire time. Do you really plan not to see him for the last time?”
Yin Shuiling fluttered her long, thick lashes. She was silent for a minute before she said, “Qingqing, can I borrow something from you?”
…
Yin Muchen waited until nine at night, the main doors of the villa that were in front of his eyes finally opened, and Yin Shuiling walked out.
