Why would a normal person take sleeping pills?
Su Mo broke out into intense cold sweat, and she turned around to quickly run out.
…
Su Mo had just walked out of the room, and she heard the sound of the doorbell from the condominium unit ringing out in the air. Ding dong.
Su Mo found it weird. She’d been staying here for a year now, and this condominium unit was always cold and quiet. Other than Yin Muchen, Aunty was the only other person around. No one else had ever come to knock on the door before.
Who would this person be?
Aunty ran out from the kitchen. She also found it weird. Ever since Miss Yin left, this house lacked energy, and Mr. Yin also lacked energy. Who would come and knock on the door then?
Aunty went to open the door. When she had a clear look at the person outside, she immediately froze. She could not believe her eyes as she said, “Yin…Miss Yin?”
It was Yin Shuiling.
Yin Shuiling was dressed in a red long sleeved shirt today. She matched it with a light blue denim skirt. She had a pair of casual heeled shoes on her feet, exposing her slim and fair legs.
She was dressed simply, but she had the air of a goddess.
Yin Shuiling plucked the wide brim hat off her head, and stretched her slim arms out to give Aunty a hug. “Aunty, it’s me. We haven’t seen one another for three years; does Aunty not recognize me already?”
Aunty’s eyes immediately turned wet. She gazed at Yin Shuiling from head to toe as she nodded her head in relief. “It is really Miss Yin… Good, good, good! Miss Yin has really grown up. You are getting more and more pretty now. Let’s go; let’s go inside…”
Su Mo came downstairs. She looked at Yin Shuiling before evilly saying, “Yin Shuiling, what are you doing here? We don’t welcome you here.”
Aunty’s face immediately turned cold, and she chided Su Mo right away. “Miss Su, who allowed you to speak to Miss Yin like that? Be careful! I will tell Sir about this. Sir will definitely chase you out of the house if he finds out about this.”
Su Mo recalled about the previous time when she was forced to give way. She promptly stopped speaking; she was afraid now.
Yin Shuiling noticed Su Mo turn glum. She donned a silent smile.
“Miss Yin.” Aunty held onto Yin Shuiling’s small hand and said, “Are you here looking for Sir? Sir is sleeping upstairs. He has yet to awaken. I will help you wake him up.”
“There is no need for that, Aunty; I am only here to take a look.”
“Okay then, Miss Yin can take a seat first. I will go to the kitchen to make you some tea.” Aunty went into the kitchen.
After Aunty left, Yin Shuiling was left with Su Mo.
Su Mo’s delight was rekindled. “Yin Shuiling, what did you come back for? What we have here doesn’t belong to you anymore. The room that you were using in the past is now mine. I also used all of your things, and even Yin Muchen — we were exercising for so long last night. He is way too exhausted, so he’s sleeping in this morning.”
Yin Shuiling’s face was emotionless. She looked at the proud expression on Su Mo’s face before lightly curling the corners of her lips. “Su Mo, does he say the wrong name in bed?” she asked, emphasizing each word.
“You!” Su Mo was at a loss for words when she heard Yin Shuiling’s response.
Yin Shuiling did not bother with her anymore. She turned around and went into the living room.
There was a crystal plate on the coffee table in the living room. Ten scattered pearls were on the plate, and the smile on Yin Shuiling’s face widened. These pearls were exactly the same as the ones that she’d picked out that one time.
She guessed correctly; it was Su Mo.
Su Mo wanted to harm her.
There were some moments when a woman’s jealousy would corrupt a person, and these words were really true.
Also, such expensive jewelry could be placed so casually on the coffee table. It could be seen. Clearly, Yin Muchen has pampered Su Mo very much.
Yin Shuiling walked forward. She walked to stand before the French windows. The curtains were still the same ones from six years ago. They were not changed.
Her memories came flooding back all at once. She came back to a memory at these French windows; there were many stories that played out back then.
Yin Shuiling suddenly fell into a daze.
Su Mo noticed Yin Shuiling walking towards the living room, she just remembered that she placed the pearls on the coffee table, and this was the pearl bracelet that Yin Muchen had bought for her, and that day, when she went to splash oil, she accidentally broke the bracelet and lost a single pearl.
She placed the pearls on the crystal plate and thought of weaving it back by herself, but she forgot about it, and she did not know whether Yin Shuiling saw it or not at this moment.
She wanted to walk over.
But at this moment, Su Mo suddenly noticed the door to the room upstairs was open. Yin Muchen was dressed in black pajamas as he stood by the side of the door.
He’d just awoken, and at this moment, he stared at that back profile standing by the French windows as he fell into a daze.
He froze for a few seconds before he hurried downstairs.
…
Because he was in a hurry as he descended down the stairs, he tripped and almost fell down. The black robe was loose on his body, and together with him being in a blur, it made him look soulless and comical at this moment.
He walked over with light footsteps. He did not dare to let out a single sound, afraid that he would disrupt that girl.
After he got close, then a little closer, he stretched his muscular arms out to hold onto the girl’s small, soft waist, taking her into his broad embrace.
After he hugged her, Yin Shuiling regained her senses and stopped reminiscing about the past. She knew who was hugging her. The pure, mesmerizing scent on his body filled her nostrils, and she was familiar with this scent to the core.
Right away, she struggled and did not allow him to embrace her.
“Don’t move, Shuiling. I am begging you, don’t move. Let me hug you quietly for a moment.” Yin Muchen buried his head into her tender neck and was greedy as he sniffed the fragrance on her body. He was afraid that she would move, and he lowered his volume and controlled his anger as he begged her, using an extremely pathetic tone to say, “Shuiling, is this a dream? These three years, I’ve dreamt about you frequently. The dream would be just like this: you came back home, and I walked over to hug you. After that, you would disappear…
“Shuiling, I have been thinking frequently over these three years. Did you love me before? You loved me before! Then since you loved me, how did both of us get to this stage that we are in right now? Shui Ling, did you know, I love you too? I love you very very much…”
Yin Shuiling quickly lifted her head up. She controlled the hot tears welling up inside her eyes. She should not be crying. She has not shed a single tear for this man ever since what happened three years ago.
But at this moment, tears were welling up in her eyes, and she could not control it at all.
After ten years, she finally heard this line from him.
This line — He loved her.
Yin Muchen closed his eyes as he kissed her tender neck. He was controlling the strength in his arms, and he hugged her firmly in his embrace. He hated that he could not mash her into his bones. “Shuiling, since you are back now, don’t leave again, okay? I missed you very much. I really missed you a lot, these three years, no matter whether I open or close my eyes, my heart and mind are all full of you…” he said emotionally and with satisfaction.
Yin Shuiling did not say anything. She allowed herself to quietly stay in his embrace for a few seconds before stretching her small hand out to cover his large palm and plucking his hand away bit by bit.
They could not go back to the past…
Her action provoked Yin Muchen. He noticed that she was about to leave, and he instantly felt uneasy. He pinned her small waist down and turned her over to face him.
“Shuiling, don’t leave me! I am begging you… I feel that I am unable to hold it on for much longer. Without you, I will go crazy. I am really going crazy soon…” Yin Muchen searched for her red lips and covered them cruelly.
“Woo…” After he kissed her, Yin Shuiling struggled more and more, but there was a stark difference between the strength between a man and a woman. He pressed down on her as he held her, and her back was against the French windows.
She was not in pain because he used his large palm to block her back from the window pane.
He sucked on her small lips as he kissed her forcefully. He had yet to kiss her for such a long time. He could not even remember this taste in his dreams and memories. She was unwilling to open her mouth. He was hurried as he came to attack. His mind as full of the image of her kissing Fan Chengsi, and she’d stretched her small tongue out to come together with Fan Chengsi…
He wanted to have it; he also wanted to have it.
He used two fingers to pin her chin, and he forced her to open her mouth. She finally opened her mouth, and he went inside.
He’s never had the opportunity to savour the sweet and fragrant taste inside her mouth, and there was a sudden pain that descended on his tongue. The taste of blood spread through his mouth; Yin Shuiling was biting him cruelly.
The taste of blood made him freeze entirely. All of his memories went back to three years ago. She bleed heavily underneath his body, and the entire house was full of the gory smell of blood…
He regained some of his senses, and he slowly let go of her small mouth.
Both of her small hands were on his chest. The girl used force as she pushed him. He did not expect it at all, and he was pushed a distance away immediately.
A cold voice rang out in his ears, “Are you awake now?”
He was in a daze and did not give any reaction.
At this moment, a bout of cold wind blew over in his direction. Slap! Yin Shuiling gave him a tight slap.
“You should be awake now.” Yin Shuiling picked her bag up before turning around to leave.
Until the door of the condominium unit was shut with a loud bang! Yin Muchen’s thick and curled lashes fluttered, before he opened his eyes slowly.
There was nothing before his eyes, and the girl left.
His entire body felt as if it’d been soaked in icy water, and the chill penetrated his bones.
The large condominium unit was silent. The air inside the unit seemed to be frozen. Aunty held tea in her hands. She looked at him as she drooped her head down. Sir did not move for a long time, and his eyes were all red.
What sins did they commit to deserve this?
Su Mo looked on at the situation and forgot how to breathe. Yin Muchen was…hit?
That Yin Shuiling actually dared to give Yin Muchen a slap?
…
There was a week of calm, and the entire university was talking about Su Mo’s birthday party that was coming up soon.
There was a day when Yin Shuiling was illustrating comics seriously inside the classroom. There were a few girls behind her chatting with one another —
“Did you guys hear? Su Mo’s 21st birthday party is in three days. President Yin prepared a cocktail party for Su Mo at Li Fan. My father has already received the invitation. I heard the entire elite class of T City will be attending.”
“Wow, Su Mo will turn into a true princess on that day.”
“Not only that, I heard my father say, this birthday party, President Yin seems to be announcing the news of his engagement with Su Mo, and Su Mo is going to be President Yin’s fiancée.”
“What? That is not possible, right? With President Yin’s status and position, it is fine for him to play around with this Su Mo, but this engagement…”
“Who can be sure of this? President Yin is already 31 years old. He might be tired already and want to lead a stable and comfortable life, and maybe he wants a small family of his own.”….
Yin Shuiling listened on. Her pencil was slanted, and her figure that she was drawing on was ruined in a moment.
Ding! She suddenly received a text message.
The text message was sent by Su Mo — My birthday party is in three days. I will meet you at Li Fan; You definitely have to come!
The corners of Yin Shuiling’s lips curled up into a mocking arc. Su Mo really wanted her to attend the party?
She had yet to go looking for Su Mo, and this Su Mo actually came to search for her first.
She used her small fair hand to press a button, and she dialed a number.
“Hello, Fan Chengsi, do you have time in three days? Accompany me to a birthday party then.”
…
Three days later
There was an extravagant birthday party held at Li Fan. The entire circle of upper class socialites in T City were all in attendance, and journalists were covering the event.
Yin Muchen was dressed in a white shirt matched with a pair of black trousers to welcome the guests. There was a light coloured glass of red wine between his long fingers. As he shook the wine glass, the reflection of the colour red reflected the man’s defined and sharp features, looking exquisite and perfect.
He curled the corners of his lips up into a light arc. He could not be considered to be smiling, but he was polite enough. A 31 year old man, wherever he went, there would be people who came up to greet him. Time has added onto his extremely mighty and respected status, and he was just like a king.
