Chapter 580: Honest, Did You Fall In Love With Me Again?
This was an occasion for men to discuss business with one another, and as a woman, she did not belong here to be partic.i.p.ating in it.
The small building had a heater system, and Yin Shuiling removed her long green winter coat. She wore a pink lace s.h.i.+rt underneath. The slim cut design made her figure look extra good, and she rolled the sleeves up, exposing her small, fair hands. There was a set of tea utensils on the coffee table as well as premium tea leaves. She started to prepare tea.
After ten minutes, the fragrance from the tea leaves wafted out into the air.
She stepped forward and placed four cups before the four men.
Liu Caizhe and Hu Ya thanked her immediately, and John had a taste of the tea before he put his thumbs up towards Yin Shuiling, meaning — Good tea!
Yin Shuiling had a polite and elegant smile on her lips. She turned her gaze to the side to look towards Yin Muchen. The man used two of his long fingers to hold the tea cup up to have a sip. He did not act like others and thank or compliment her, and he merely looked at her with his dark, sparkling gaze.
This gaze was enough to make her face go red.
Yin Shuiling stood up.
After she served three rounds of tea, they had not finished their conversation, and the service staff serving the food had already come forward three times to check. Yin Shuiling stepped forward, and she bent down by Yin Muchen’s side to softly tell him, “Eat dinner first; you can chat while you eat.”
Yin Muchen nodded his head.
The service staff stood at the side of the door to serve the dishes. Yin Shuiling took one plate after another into her hands before routing around the folding screen to place it onto the wooden table. They were all famous seafood dishes.
Yin Shuiling did not eat. She did not like seafood. Other than serving the dishes, she was quiet for the entire time as she stood by Yin Muchen’s side. She served these men as they ate their food, and she would occasionally put on gloves to remove the sh.e.l.ls of the crab. She took out the crab roe, and when Yin Muchen wanted alcohol, she would go and order alcohol…
One hour later, the men were done discussing business and were also done with dinner.
John was bidding farewell, and at this moment, Yin Shuiling’s phone rang. She took her phone out to have a look before looking at Yin Muchen calmly. “The comic studio gave me a call; I will go and take it.”
Yin Muchen did not have an expression on his face as he said, “Okay.”
Yin Shuiling opened the door and walked out.
She did not go far. She stood beside the flowerbed. There were many people walking by, and she avoided them on purpose. She pressed the key and answered the call, “h.e.l.lo…”
This number really belonged to one of the editors in the comic studio. Sixth Older Brother made arrangements, and she did not have to worry about the number being a giveaway.
“h.e.l.lo, how is it going? Four days have already gone by. Why do you not have any news at all?” Sixth Older Brother lowered his voice as he questioned her.
Yin Shuiling knew that there was no one around her. She was silent for a few seconds before saying, “We are eating in the art gallery… John, a Spaniard.”
Sixth Older Brother did not say anything. Another voice rang out from the other end. It was probably some young subordinate of his. He was extremely excited as he softly cursed, “This Yin Muchen really knows how to play. He was busy in Hong Kong for four days, and he was playing with our people and made us so busy. This art gallery was organized by the Hong Kong government. We are totally unable to sneak inside. Furthermore, who would have thought that he would actually hide and do this in an art gallery? If not for Yin Shuiling, we would’ve never been able to find this mysterious person…”
That younger subordinate did not finish speaking. Slap! It was probably a slap from Sixth Older Brother. “You’d better shut up!”
Yin Shuiling drooped her small head, and there was a light and self mocking smile on the corners of her lips.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps that rang out behind her. Yin Shuiling calmly said, “Okay, we will fix it like that. Bye bye.”
She hung up the phone and turned around. It was Liu Caizhe, who was sending John out, and John pa.s.sed by her and thanked her, speaking in Spanish.
Yin Shuiling did not understand what he was saying. Liu Caizhe translated it for her, “Miss Yin, John said, he thanks Madam for the hearty welcome.”
Madam?
Yin Shuiling froze.
Liu Caizhe laughed and said, “Just now, Muchen introduced you that way to John, that you are his wife.”
Liu Caizhe and John walked out together.
Yin Shuiling stood on the spot. Wife? Did he introduce her to others like this?
She could not stop thinking about the word “wife” inside her heart. There was a pain that could not stop growing inside her heart. The tip of her nose felt sour, and she hastily lifted her head up to look towards the sky.
She did not want the tears in her eyes to flow out.
She took a breath through her nostrils, and she turned around to go back into the building.
…
Service staff were already cleaning up inside the room. The service staff cleared the tea cups and utensils all away and lit up a sandalwood fragrance in the room.
The service staff left, and Hu Ya took a meal tray out. “Miss Yin, you can have your meal now.”
Hu Ya routed himself around the folding screen and placed the meal tray on the table before he went out of the door and closed it behind him.
Yin Shuiling walked over to the wooden table, and Yin Muchen did not move as he sat down on the chair. He wore a white s.h.i.+rt and a tie matched together with a thin red woolen v-neck sweater. He removed the black coat he was wearing and placed it on the chair. He had a pair of black trousers on the bottom, and this type of formal and stylish style made him seem handsome and attractive, with an elegant aura to him.
He leaned back lazily in the seat and placed one elbow on the seat beside him. Although he drank some alcohol, his gaze was still clear. “Come over and have a seat.”
He pointed towards the wooden chair that he’d placed his elbow on.
“Oh.” Yin Shuiling lifted her heels up as she walked over before she sat down.
Yin Muchen took the chopsticks and handed them to her. His lanky body got closer to her. He spoke to her gently. “These are all of the famous snacks in Hong Kong. I picked them to the taste that you like. Eat them while they are still hot.”
Yin Shuiling had a look. Dish ball noodles, fresh prawn wonton noodles, Wan Zai shark fin, stocking milk tea… There were numerous dishes. They all looked delicious, and they were all really what she liked to eat.
She used her chopsticks to bring some noodles into her own small bowl before she lowered her gaze to take a small, elegant bite. “There are so many dishes. I am unable to finish everything.”
“I didn’t ask you to finish it all. You can just have a small taste of each dish.”
Yin Shuiling blinked her eyes before giving him a mocking gaze. “Are you agreeing to wasting food? This is not good behaviour.”
“Okay, I admit that I am not being good.”
Since his att.i.tude was good in admitting his mistakes, Yin Shuiling continued to lower her gaze down to eat her food.
The girl did not let out any sound when she ate. She was educated from a young age, but she ate it very deliciously. Her exquisite cheeks were elegant as she chewed, and her small, cherry-like lips were a little stained with some soup. She looked extremely cute.
Yin Muchen looked at her gently as he said, “Were you tired because I asked you to serve tea just now?”
“Yeah, I am exhausted.” Yin Shuiling placed her chopsticks down, and she handed both of her small hands over to him to look. “Look, my hands are all red from removing the crab sh.e.l.ls.”
Her small fingers were long and fair, and the moment anyone had a look, they would know that she grew up being pampered. Yin Muchen noticed that her fingers were really red, and he held her small hands, lowering his gaze to kiss her fingers.
What was he doing?
In the world of a matured man like him, he could kiss any place he wanted, but she was unable to take it; it was embarra.s.sing enough.
She wanted to take the chopsticks to start eating, but a large hand took the chopsticks and bowl before she could as the man gently said, “You suffered just now. Let me feed you.”
He picked a fresh prawn ball for her to eat.
Yin Shuiling did not act coyly. She went close to his large hand as she took a bite. As she ate, she said, “I don’t want you to eat. As long as you don’t ask me to do this anymore in the future.”
“This won’t do. In the future, I will still ask you to do so. Others behave like this. When there is a guest over, the man should be the one receiving the guests, and the woman should be serving them. This is what you are supposed to do. Men are all showoffs and love to show their status. In front of others, you should make me feel proud, and after the guests leave, I will come over to coax you then. This is pretty good.”
Furthermore, she did not like to eat seafood. She was on her period and had to stay away from seafood. He remembered everything that she loved to eat, and after the rest left, he would prepare the food that she loved.
He would not let her feel wronged.
Yin Shuiling’s long, thick lashes fluttered for a moment. His words were just like a feather that brushed through the pond of her heart, and now, her heart had ripples appear on it.
She thought about “Madam” again….
“Aiya, what are you talking about. I do not understand.” Yin Shuiling stretched her hand out to s.n.a.t.c.h the bowl and chopsticks in his hands. She lowered her gaze to eat. She pouted her lips and said, “Everything is fine as long as I do not have to serve you when you eat with others in the future and be your servant… I really have never seen a man so chauvinistic.”
Yin Muchen noticed that she was changing the topic on purpose and was a little disappointed, but he got close to her very quickly. His large hand that he’d placed on the back of the chair slid down and went to embrace her small waist, and he pulled her towards him. He lowered his gaze and was about to kiss her. “I am chauvinistic, you’d better get used to it.”
He pressed herself on her body. Yin Shuiling placed both of her small hands onto his chest as she ducked away. There was a light scent of alcohol on his body that wafted into her nostrils. She hit him and unhappily said, “The scent of alcohol on your body is so strong. It smells so horrible. You are not allowed to kiss me…”
Her small body was fragrant and soft. She was fumbling around in his embrace and was extremely coy. He pressed her back into the chair and said, “You don’t like the scent of alcohol? Then I will drink less in the future. Shuiling, let me have a smell; how does your body smell?”
He was saying reckless things in her ears once again and was taking advantage of her. Yin Shuiling gurgled in laughter as she ducked away. Her small face was buried in his collar of his well-ironed s.h.i.+rt. The hard material of the collar made her supple skin feel pain, and at the same time, she felt soft. She brought one fair finger to his collar before lifting her small exquisite face in his embrace. In her line of vision, she could see his firm chin and also his thin s.e.xy maroon lips…
As her gaze upwards, she saw his handsome and narrow eyes. He was smiling, and in his eyes, there was a loving happiness and seriousness.
This man was really handsome. His features were cut perfectly and made others smitten with him.
Yin Shuiling looked at him and was smitten.
At this moment, a finger flicked her forehead. Yin Muchen cupped her small face and lifted his eyebrows up as he asked her, “Are you done looking at me?”
It was only then that Yin Shuiling noticed that she was smitten. She hurriedly took her small hand back and lowered her gaze to eat her meal.
Yin Muchen looked at her embarra.s.sed and shy look. Her eyes were happy with a hint of shyness. He curled his lips up as he asked her, “Shuiling, be honest with me; did you fall in love with me again?”
Yin Shuiling pretended to not hear what he said, and she did not say anything.
But her face got redder and redder, and her nostrils were steaming with hot air.
Yin Muchen looked at her small face seriously before snorting out coldly. “Hah.”
…
After eating dinner, they boarded the luxurious vehicle. After the car stopped, Yin Shuiling asked, “Where are you bringing me to shop?”
Yin Muchen opened the door of the car. He held her small hand as he said, “Didn’t you want to go over to K University to see ? We might not be able to catch it on time at this hour.”
