Chapter 595: The Last Candlelight Dinner
Liu Wanxin snorted out loud and said, “Am I the one who is actually overthinking it, or are you? Bring her back tomorrow then. I really do not like her. In the future, you should appear infrequently in front of me.”
Yin Muchen stretched his hand out to touch the strands of white hair on his mother’s forehead, and he said, “Mummy, thank you.”
…
After leaving Liu Wanxin’s room, Yin Muchen went into his own room. There was a small kitten curled up on the bed; Yin Shuiling was sleeping obediently.
As he looked at the girl’s sleeping face, Yin Muchen had a smile on his face before he went into the bathroom to take a bath.
He came out five minutes later when he was done showering. He went to the bed and lifted the blankets up to get underneath the blankets. He used one muscular arm to curl that soft, pet.i.te body into his embrace.
Yin Shuiling perched herself on the man’s chest as she opened her eyes slightly. She was in a blur as she said, “You are back already?”
“Yeah.” Yin Muchen kissed her forehead and asked, “Did you perform well today to make my mother like you?”
Yin Shuiling moved her small hand behind his sculpted waist. She pouted her small lips as she hummed out, “I didn’t… Your mother does not seem to like me, so I also do not like her…”
Yin Muchen laughed softly as he said, “Okay. It is fine if you don’t like her. It is all fine as long as both of you like me. In the future, we are not going to live with my mother. I will just bring you over during the holidays and New Year to visit her, and I will have to wrong you for those one or two days. Can you try to accommodate and be peaceful with her.”
There was a significant meaning behind his words. In the future…
What kind of future did they have?
Yin Shuiling fluttered her long eyelashes before she flipped her body around and went to sleep.
“What’s wrong?” Yin Muchen held her small shoulders as he questioned her.
She did not bother with him.
At this moment, a warmth descended onto her body. The man hugged her. He laughed softly and was nonchalant as he asked her, “Shuiling, what are you thinking of asking? You can just ask it directly. You don’t have to beat around the bush.”
Yin Shuiling closed her eyes once again and said, “I don’t have anything that I want to ask… You should go to sleep.”
Yin Muchen’s dark eyes became extremely deep and had a touch of disappointment, but he lovingly grazed the girl’s tender skin with his fingers as he gently said, “Shuiling, good night.”
…
The next morning, Yin Muchen brought Yin Shuiling away in the Rolls Royce, Yin Muchen drove the vehicle as he asked her, “Am I taking you back home?”
She’s been very obedient lately. After she graduated from school, she did not go out to work, other than the Western restaurant. She would stay at home and draw comics under his surveillance. She did not contact any males in her phone contacts. Other than going shopping and drinking tea with Ning Qing, she did not like to go outside. Every time he got off work and went back home, she would personally cook for him and wait for him to return, and this kind of lifestyle was simple and blissful.
“Yeah.” Yin Shuilng nodded her head naturally and said, “Let’s go home then.”
After leaving that villa, and with Liu Wanxin out of sight, she also felt carefree.
They did not say anything else. The Rolls Royce did not stop cruising at all. Yin Shuiling took her phone out to chat idly with Ning Qing, and at this moment, she felt the car come to a sudden stop.
She lifted her head up to look at the man by her side. “Why are we stopping?”
Yin Muchen had a look at the girl before raising his eyebrows up to look outside the window. “I am considering whether I should buy some clothes for you.”
“What clothes are you buying? There is no need. I have so many clothes at home that I do not wear…anymore…” Yin Shuiling followed the man’s gaze as she looked outside the window, and the moment she looked over, her irises contracted.
There was a…wedding gown shop outside the window.
The sparkling display cabinet was full of many different designs of white wedding dresses and blood red gowns. The model had a straight cut wedding gown on it, and it had a white ethereal veil on the head, looking beautiful and dreamy.
Yin Shuiling looked on in a blur. Her defined eyes reflected the wedding dresses in them, and there was admiration and hope in the bottom of her eyes.
Any woman would have a special affection for wedding dresses, and Yin Shuiling was no exception.
At this moment, a warm voice rang out in her ears. He was evidently smiling as he asked, “Do you want it?”
Yin Shuiling regained her senses. She turned her small face over to look at the man’s dark, gla.s.s-like eyes. There was gentleness reflected in his sparkling eyes.
Yin Shuiling’s small face was burning hot. This kind of feeling was way more thrilling than the times that he forced her into paradise. She did not know what to do as she drooped her small head. It took a while before she responded, “Don’t joke around anymore.”
Was it fun to joke around with her like this?
Yin Muchen looked at all of her shy and fl.u.s.tered expressions on her face. He was in a good mood as he curled the corners of his lips up. “Hah!” He did not say anything at all and only stepped down on the accelerator as he took her back to the villa.
The car stopped in front of the villa. Yin Shuiling released the safety belt and prepared to get out of the car, and at this moment, the man grabbed her slim wrist. He was by the side of her ear as he softly said, “Shuiling, I don’t have time to joke around with you. You should think about it seriously.”
Yin Shuiling pulled the car door open and ran away in a hurry.
…
After returning to the villa, Aunty came out of the kitchen. She looked at Yin Shuiling’s tiny face and was curious as she asked, “Miss Yin, why is your face so red?”
Yin Shuiling quickly cupped her reddened face. She did not look at Aunty, and she directly ran upstairs.
Aunty was frozen for a few moments before she broke out into laughter. “Haha, Miss Yin. Did Sir make fun of you again? Sir is too much. He is already so old now, and he doesn’t know how to settle down yet. Doesn’t he know that you are shy?”
Yin Shuiling ran into the room and shut the door. She was in a daydream as she fell onto the large bed.
Her mind was in an extreme mess, and it was completely boggled right now.
What did he mean?
He was absolutely ridiculous. He brought her to meet his mother yesterday, and today, he said that he wanted to buy a wedding dress…for her. Did he…
Yin Shuiling had an answer inside her heart. Her heart was thumping very quickly, but she did not believe what was inside her heart.
Ding! She received a text message.
Yin Shuiling took her phone out to have a look. It was Sixth Older Brother — I will wait for you outside of the Royal Villa tonight. After I get the accounting record, Yin De will be able out of jail tomorrow morning. We are only one step away from success.
Yin Shuiling’s face instantly transitioned from red to white.
She sat up and got off the bed to go into the study room.
She paced two rounds around the study room. She observed the design of the room, and suddenly, she realized that there was an uneven piece of the wall behind the bookshelf, and there was a safe deposit box hidden inside.
Yin Shuiling did not fumble around anymore as she knew that the accounting record would be inside this safe deposit box.
She walked out of the study and went downstairs. She went to the kitchen entrance and said to Aunty, “Aunty, I will let you go on vacation tonight. I will cook personally.”
Aunty was already very accustomed to being given vacation days, and during this period of time, Sir would let her go on vacation very frequently.
Aunty covered her mouth as she laughed. “Okay, Miss Yin, I will go back then.”
Aunty left.
…
Yin Shuiling spent two hours making dinner, it was around six in the evening that the doors of the villa were open. Yin Muchen had returned.
He had fulfilled much of what he said in the past, and during the last six months, he would always return home after he was done with work.
Yin Shuiling ran out from the kitchen. Yin Muchen was changing his shoes in the foyer. She went forward to take his doc.u.ment bag, then placed it onto the sofa before she went on her tiptoes to help him undo his tie, “You are back already? Let’s have dinner.”
“Okay.” Yin Muchen listened to her. He held her small waist as they walked into the dining room together. There were candles on the dining table; it was a candlelight dinner.
He lowered his gaze down to look at her tiny face as he gently asked her, “Is it a special occasion tonight?”
Yin Shuiling had a small smile on her face, she did not answer his question but asked him instead, “You don’t like it?”
“I like it.” Yin Muchen let go of her as he sat down in the chair.
Yin Shuiling served all of the dishes in the kitchen and placed them onto the table. She then took a bottle of red wine that was already open and poured the red wine into the wine gla.s.s by the side of his hand. After that, she poured some for herself.
Yin Muchen looked at the red wine by his side. His handsome face had a smile that could not be explained, he used his right hand to hold the wine gla.s.s, and said, “Come, let’s cheers first.”
He wanted to drink.
“Ay.” Yin Shuiling quickly stopped him. “It is not good for you to be drinking on an empty stomach. Have some food first. I prepared all of the dishes today. They are your favorites.”
Yin Muchen put the wine gla.s.s down and elegantly took a fork to slice the steak before he placed it into his mouth.
“Umm, it’s very delicious.” He complimented her.
Yin Shuiling’s face was a little pale. She used the fork to pick a strand of noodle and placed it into her mouth, and she did not say a single word.
Yin Muchen turned his gaze sideways to look at her before saying with a smile on his face, “Shuiling, the matter that I asked you to consider carefully, did you come to a decision already?”
Yin Shuiling froze on the spot.
