Chapter 439: Perfect Wedding (3)
Yin Shuiling curled up the corners of her lips. Her heart was slow, but her politeness was still intact, “Thank you for your compliments.”
The handsome man saw that she was willing to respond to him. His gaze turned hot. Many rich and powerful men in T City wanted to lay their hands on this young princess of T City after the Yin family went bankrupt. Winning her heart had already turned into the most discussed topic when the elite men gathered together for leisure.
At that time, she was only 18 years old.
“Miss Yin, our publishing firm has recently started organizing an upcoming event. I don’t know if I have the honour of inviting Miss Yin to attend...”
Yin Shuiling listened to the man speaking passionately. She lowered her gaze down to look at her feet. How could she not know what this man thought inside his heart? But inside her heart, she was both bored and lonely.
She was about to search for a reason to leave. At this moment, numerous passionate voices rang out in her ears. “President Yin, you are here now?”
Yin Shuiling’s body froze for a moment, but she returned back to normal very quickly.
She heard Lu Shaoming’s voice ring out from behind her. “President Yin, I welcome your presence.”
Lu Shaoming wanted to laugh inside her heart. The man who could make Lu Shaoming welcome him personally. He must have done so well in the finance world for these past two years. That’s right, he was engaged with the only daughter of the mogul of the finance world. He was making use of her while solidifying his position. With his position now, he was long not the boy that was living underneath the Yin family.
The man in front of her was still speaking. She was both polite and quiet, although she did not know what she was saying herself.
The sound of chatting rang out clearly behind her. Lu Shaoming chatted with him politely for a moment. The sound of a woman’s warm, coy voice rang out, and her voice was very pleasant to the ears.
Yin Shuiling knew that his taste was always good, especially when picking women.
At this moment, Yin Shuiling felt her small hand was held by someone. She turned her gaze sideways to look. It was Yue Wanqing who held her small hand. Yue Wanqing bid farewell to the man in front of her. “We still have other matters to attend to. We will chat when there is more time.”
Yin Shuiling was brought away.
She took two steps, and Yue Wanqing lowered her volume and said, ” Shuiling, what do you think about this person? He is the son of a rich family, and can be considered to be talented and young himself. I also think that he looks handsome, but there is something bad about him. I heard his mother say that he’s had many girlfriends in the past. He is way too much of a playboy; we cannot want that.”
Yin Shuiling was tickled. She had a sweet smile on her face as she joked, “Aunt, he might have gone through many girlfriends in the past, but it also does not mean that he would break up with me. Maybe after he dates me, he will be enchanted with me, and only want to marry me.”
Yue Wanqing stretched her fingers out as she poked Yin Shuiling’s head lovingly. “We don’t want maybe. A woman’s marriage is an important thing that will last for her entire life.”
Yin Shuiling felt her heart was so warm. Ever since her mother passed away, she’d never felt such warmth. She stretched her small hand out to hold onto Yue Wanqing’s elbow, and she nudged her small head against it to act coy. “Aunt, you really treat me so well.”
Yue Wanqing laughed and said, “It is a must for me to treat you well. The Yin and Ning families have been friends for generations. Aunt has seen you grow up, and now that Qingqing is good, Aunt is worried about your marriage right now. Both Qingqing and you are my daughters, and you would also get married out from the Ning family in the future.”
“Okay.” Yin Shuiling nodded her head forcefully. “Aunt, you don’t have to worry. I am also not young anymore. I will lower my standards and find a good person to marry.”
It was only then that Yue Wanqing nodded her head, feeling relieved.
At this moment: “Mum.” Lu Shaoming walked over. Yin Muchen was following behind, and Xiao Yao was dressed in a long pink gown beside Yin Muchen.
The only daughter of finance mogul, Xiao Yao, and now, she was also Yin Muchen’s fiancee.
The two groups of people met with one another. Yin Shuiling lifted her small head up from Yue Wanqing’s elbow. That warmth that she’d felt just now disappeared entirely, and her exquisite little face had a smile appear on it. The smile did not reach her eyes as she said, “Older Brother, Sister-in-law.”
Yin Muchnen was dressed in an exquisitely cut grey suit matched together with black trousers. He seemed as if he had rushed over from another formal event. His handsome, defined features, his dark eyes that resembled calligraphy-ink coloured marbles — he was still haughty and pure as usual. He did not speak much, but he had enough presence as a man.
Men that were his age, whatever they said was not important. Just when his dark marble-like eyes fell on your face, you would feel as if he had seen right through you.
Yin Muchen had one of his hands in his pocket. Another muscular arm was held by Xiao Yao who was beside him. He looked at Yin Shuiling, and his dark eyes did not have any emotion in them at all. “You are back now?”
“Yeah.” Yin Shuiling nodded her head.
Xiao Yao smiled at Yin Shuiling femininely. “Shuiling, welcome back to the country.”
At this moment, Lu Shaoming said, “Mum, I saw that you were chatting with Miss Yin happily just now. What were you all chatting about?”
“Oh, I was worried about Shuiling’s wedding. Little Qinwen is already one and a half years old now. Shuiling is not married yet. She is falling behind Qingqing. I am worried for her. Didn’t you notice all of the men that are here to attend the wedding are all so enchanted with Shuiling from the moment they saw her? But the ones who are reliable are the minority. Shaoming, Muchen, you need to take note for Shuiling. I can trust both of you to have good taste.”
Lu Shaoming laughed and said, “Mum, Ning Qing has said what you just said to me many times already. You don’t have to worry; I will take note for her.”
“That’s good then.” As Yue Wanqing spoke, she lifted her head to look at Yin Muchen, who hadn’t said anything. “Mu Chen, you are Shuiling’s older brother, and now that Shuiling’s mother is not around anymore, you cannot bully her when you are her older brother.”
Yin Muchen heard what she said and broke out into laughter. He casually looked at Yin Shuiling’s small face, and he appeared nonchalant and masculine. “I do want to bully her, but I am unable to stop myself.”
Yue Wanqing only understood what he meant on the surface level, and she thought that he thought that it was an older brother’s way of expressing frustration and love towards his younger sister. She nodded her head feeling satisfied.
Yin Shuiling did not have any emotion on her face at all. She coldly laughed inside her heart. She knew what he meant when he said that. In front of so many people, Lu Shaoming who was matured, and his fiancée Xiao Yao, he was not embarrassed to say it out loud?
He was probably a pervert.
Yin Shuiling straightened her small waist upright as she said, “Aunt, I will go and have a look at Qingqing. All of you continue chatting.”
She turned around to leave.
...
There were too many people at the banquet. Yin Shuiling did not want to be an unprofessional bridesmaid at that moment. She did not want to greet anyone, so she picked a secluded route to go search for Ning Qing.
She turned around a corner and went through the corridor. It was silent. She thought that there was no one around, but when she took two steps forward, it was only then that she saw the man — Yin Muchen.
He was smoking. He leaned his back against the wall. His long legs were lazily planted in front of him. His figure was straight and handsome. He placed his left hand in his pocket. He held his cigarette between two fingers on his right hand. When he smoked, his long, narrow eyes would scrunch up tightly. This led to the smile lines at the corners of his eyes to be even deeper, and he looked very very masculine.
He was older than her by a whole decade. She was 24 years old this year, and he was 34 years old already.
Yin Shuiling suddenly thought of the way he looked when he was 20 years old. At that time, he was very obedient. He started to impress others when he entered the Yin Corporation. He would smile at her, but in his smile, there would be a touch of depression and sadness, and she would feel bad for him.
The man now was already standing on the peak of power and money. His status and wealth all added to his noble and respected identity. There was a cold and stern aura of a senior president in the corporate world on him. Dealing with the harshness of the corporate world had already made his entire body have some sinister elements to it. Him being like this was enough to make women all over the world feel bad for him.
But even a person like him would also look like what he looked like right now. He was alone as he leaned back on the wall to smoke. The rays of sunshine that streamed in were strong, but the rays did not touch his body at all, and he looked all lonely.
Yin Shuiling wanted to turn around, retreat, and avoid him, but when she thought for a moment that he purposely stopped her and waited for to come, she realized she could avoid him once or twice, but could she avoid him for her entire life?
She did not owe him anything.
Yin Shuiling continued to walk forward. As she walked past him, he did not lift his gaze up. He only bothered with smoking his cigarette. Some ashes fell onto his expensive trousers, and he stretched his hand out to flick them away.
Yin Shuiling brushed past him and headed forward.
But a voice rang out behind her. “How come you are not even saying a word when you see me? Are you pretending not to know me?”
Yin Shuiling slowly stopped in her tracks. Her voice was cold and pure without any warmth in it. “Do we know each other?”
She did not know him anymore.
The man was interested as he said, “Oh.” Before he continued, “It turns out that you are also able not to know the man that you’ve slept with.”
Yin Shuiling closed her eyes before she walked away.
But she was unable to leave, because her slim waist was grabbed. He used two fingers. He did not use much strength, but she was still unable to fight back.
The moment he exerted strength, she fell into his embrace. She had yet to have time to struggle. Her small palm sized face was held in the middle of his large palm that he used to hold his cigarette. His dark, marble-like eyes scanned her twice before he pursed his lips together and laughed mockingly. “I saw this face laugh very happily when it saw other men. How come the moment you look at me, your face looks so cold. In the past, I noticed that you were enjoying it when we were in bed. Why, your appetite has grown over this past year in France. Aren’t interested in me anymore?”
Yin Shuiling looked at him coldly, and her laugh was even colder than his. “That’s right. I am not interested in you. Oh, that’s not right. I was never interested in you from the beginning.”
The moment she spoke, Yin Muchen’s dark eyes turned violent, as if a knife had grazed his face. His aura was forceful.
Yin Shuiling wanted to struggle, but her shoulders were shoved harshly by his left hand that he used to hold his cigarette. Her back crashed against the wall, and he came forward.
“Yin Muchen, let go. If you do not let me go, I will....”
“What are you going to do?” Yin Muchen stretched his hand out to touch her small head. He bit the cigarette in his mouth, and he used both of his hands to pin her. He turned her soft waist around and allowed her to lean against the wall. He snorted out as he laughed lazily with a vague smile on his face. “Are you going to stab me one more time? Shuiling, I will let you know, the way that you stabbed me last year was crooked. Let me teach you the next time you stab me, come in the direction of my heart, and I can guarantee that I’ll be dead.”
Yin Shuiling’s small hands that were all over the place were now held down by his large palm. Her soft, slim waist was held by his other hand. As she cast her gaze down, she saw the cigarette that he threw away. He stepped on it with his leather shoes as he lifted her skirt.
Yin Shuiling felt a little afraid inside her heart. She did not expect that he would be so reckless when they had not met for such a long time. They were in the corridor, and there was nowhere for them to hide, and he actually wanted to force his way in.
Yin Muchen shut his eyes. His thin, cruel lips were curled halfway as he said, “Shui Ling ah, do you know how beautiful you look naturally? I don’t blame you for being so beautiful from birth. I would blame you when you are out here attracting others. Don’t wear a dress in front of those men next time. I’m not happy when they look at you. I’ll punish you if I am unhappy.
“I remember when you turned 15 years old. You wore a small white tank top at home and ran over to hug me. You were so pure at that time. You did not have anything underneath the tank top at all. You knew where my eyes were heading. If you were not seducing me, what were you doing back then? The most funny thing was, your mother saw it and came over to remind me. She said that you were the princess whom they treasured dearly. You were not someone who could be seen by lower class people like me. What is going on right now? Aren’t I pressing against you now?”
