Yin Shuiling lifted her head up after looking at her phone upon hearing what he said. She was serious as she had a look at the man in front of her eyes and retorted, “31 years old, aren’t you old?”
Her tone was so nonchalant as if she thought it was extremely reasonable. She did not joke around at all, and she really was not joking. She really felt that he was old now.
Yin Muchen had never been judged by anyone for being old, and his expression was not too good.
At this moment, a ringtone sounded. Yin Shuiling received a call.
Yin Muchen looked at her through the rear view mirror. She used her small fair hand to take out her Bluetooth earpiece from her bag. She used her other hand to tuck the hair by the side of her left ear, exposing her small, snow-white earlobes before she stuffed her earpiece inside and started to talk.
The Bluetooth earpiece was pink, and there was a crystal embedded on it. It was not from a luxurious brand, but it looked extremely small and exquisite, and it was extremely fitting for her.
It was not hard to tell that her taste throughout the years had gotten better and better. Simply judging by the candy coloured sleeveless dress that she was wearing, it was not from any well known brand, but when she wore it, it looked as if it were from a big brand, and she looked better than a model.
Three years ago, she had always been treated preciously by him, and he treated her like a princess.
These three years without him, she still lived so exquisitely, and she treated herself as a princess.
What was a woman?
A true woman was like her;. She was resilient, brave, and intelligent. She would not be worn down by life and did not rely on anyone else. She lived a glamorous life by herself.
These three years, she really had a good life.
She was speaking English.
Her English pronunciation was both experienced and fluent. Yin Muchen listened on quietly. This was probably her first, second, third.. eighth boyfriend. She sounded very intimate as she spoke with him, and she would call him, “Honey”.
It was clear that she was in a relationship now.
About a minute later, the phone call reached the end. He did not know what the person on the other end said, but Yin Shuiling suddenly lifted her eyebrows. Her voice was coy and displeased as she said, “Fuck you,” before she hung up.
She had just pressed the button to end the call when she heard the man’s deep, somewhat curious voice. “Who were you talking to just now?”
Yin Shuiling plucked the Bluetooth earpiece from her ear. Her small, exquisite face was expressionless. She had just ended the call, and she was in a good mood. Even the tone that she used to reply the man became brighter, “Jack, my boyfriend.”
“Yeah.” The man snorted before he said, “I will have someone investigate Jack’s background tonight. If he doesn’t have a good background, you should consider breaking up with him…”
“Why?” Yin Shuiling protested out loud, her defined eyes crashed with the man’s dark gaze in the rear view mirror. “Why would you investigate a person’s background for no reason? Doing this is very rude…”
“Rude?” Yin Muchen curled the corners of his lips up into a cold and mocking smile. “Are you sure you know anything about manners? You are someone who just said the word fuck to a man on the phone.”
Yin Shuiling let out a “Oh.” She bent forward, and her small, slim arms were propped up against the back of the man in the driver’s seat. She exhaled by the side of the man’s ear as she said, “Older Brother is angry now? Why are you angry? We are adults now, and furthermore, we are in a relationship with one another. Saying the word fuck is very normal, just like how Older Brother has had so many women in the past, I would not believe it if Older Brother were to claim to have not ever said this word to those women.”
Yin Muchen’s large hand on the steering wheel suddenly contracted. His handsome face turned dark, and he coldly replied, “Foreigner’s private lives are very dirty. You should play less. Be careful, otherwise, you might contract an illness.”
“Hah, haha,…” Yin Shuiling laughed for a moment. Her hooded eyes were extremely attractive as she said. “I just like foreigners, they are huge in size and have good stamina. They are passionate. Talking about the word dirty, Older Brother is not a foreigner, but you are way dirtier than them.”
Yin Muchen’s evilly glared at Yin Shuiling through the rear view mirror.
Yin Shuiling was not afraid at all. She squinted her eyes together as she broke out into an even brighter smile. “That year, Older Brother had just returned from America. I was 15 years old at that time. That day in the room, you were almost naked with a woman doing god knows what. That woman was lying against the wall, and you were behind her. I was not careful, and I barged inside. You even got angry with me. When you used that body of yours that had touched so many women to rape me, why weren’t you scared of passing illnesses over to me then?”
Yin Muchen started to pant. He bit his cheeks until the were stiff. She’d found out about everything that he did to her in the past, and now she kept repeating the word dirty in front of him.
She despised him and hated him.
The rape three years ago…
At this moment, a hurried horn blared behind them. It turned out that Yin Muchen swerved over from the second lane to the third lane. The Rolls Royce almost ended up in an accident with the car behind it.
Yin Muchen hurriedly turned the steering wheel and avoided an accident.
Yin Shuiling as thrown into the back due to the impact. She climbed back up and sat down properly. To avoid ending up in an accident, she was intelligent and chose not to provoke him or make him angry. She did not want to die.
No matter what kind of feelings that the man sitting in front of her was feeling right now, she used her phone to open the app and continued to edit the gif.
Yin Muchen felt as if a bout of fire suddenly lit up inside his chest. He could not explain what kind of feelings he was experiencing inside his heart. His entire brain was in a complete mess. He stretched his hand out to roll down the windows, and the cold air from outside blew onto his face.
But he had to consider the fact that she was in the back also. She was dressed so minimally, so he wound the window back up, leaving only a tiny gap.
Neither of them said anything after that, and the Rolls Royce stopped on the ground floor very quickly.
Yin Shuiling stretched her hand out to open the car door. She steadied herself and looked at the man in front of her. She stretched one slim arm out, and her voice was coy and sweet as she said, “Older Brother, I will be going now.”
She turned around and left.
Yin Muchen rolled the windows down, and he watched the girl walk into the distance.
…
Yin Shuiling went into the lobby of the condominium unit. She went into the elevator, and the moment the doors of the elevator closed, the smile on her face disappeared completely.
The doors of the lift opened up again, and she entered her own condominium unit.
She went into her room and hopped onto the bed. She was so exhausted. Interacting with that man made her feel so fatigued.
As if all of the energy in her body had been sucked out.
She stared at the ceiling for a few moments in a daydream, then she stood up and went into the bathroom. She used cold water to wash her face.
When she came out again, she went to the windows, wanting to shut the curtains close. The moment she glanced over, she saw that the Rolls Royce was still parked downstairs. He still hadn’t left.
Yin Shuiling took a quick glance. Whoosh. She did not have an expression on her face as she pulled the curtains shut.
…
Inside the car below, Yin Muchen lay the seat flat. He placed one arm behind his head as he looked at the windows. He knew when the girl appeared, and he witnessed the girl shutting the curtains without hesitation.
The coldness that she was treating him with was not fake, and it came from her core.
Yin Muchen closed his eyes as he mocked himself with a laugh.
He deserved all of this.
His mind went to the documents that he’d received over these three years. She’d gone to England and quickly adapted to life in England. The money inside the overseas accounts that Yin De left for her, she donated all of it to the mountainous areas.
Her academic results in school were extremely stunning. She would get a scholarship every year, and these three years, she had published multiple comic books, and it made her extremely wealthy.
She liked to travel outside class. She went to large and small cities in England. She went from London al the way to Buckingham Palace and walked from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Palace…
One backpack, one pen. She lead a firm and strong life all by herself, yet it was so cool.
She was still that princess, but she blossomed from a flower raised in a greenhouse to a red rose that could stand the wind and rain.
She was proud.
These three years, he did not go looking for her. He told himself multiple times that if she was not leading a good life, as long as there was a person that dared to bully her and make her cry, he would fly over to England to look for her.
But that never happened.
She was living so well.
These three years, her words would repeat in his mind — From now on, don’t ever appear before me, if you hope that I would live well…
He controlled the longing that he had inside his bones, and he placed her in a world without him to heal from her injuries.
Rubus Coronarius.
Rubus Coronarius was an extremely beautiful flower, but the only pity that was this flower only bloomed at dead ends.
The floriography of this flower was — The beauty at the dead end.
…
Yin Shuiling was strolling in the field of the school, and at this moment, Lin Xuemei ran over from the distance. “Shuiling.”
Yin Shuiling stopped in her tracks and greeted her back, “Xuemei.”
“Shuiling, I heard that you saw your Older Brother President Yin a few days ago, how did it go? Is everything alright?”
“Yeah, everything is pretty good.”
“That is good then. Oh right, Shuiling, have you met President Yin’s current girlfriend yet?”
Yin Shuiling froze for a moment before she curled the corners of her lips up into a smile. “Not yet. My Older Brother… Does he have a girlfriend already?”
“He has. President Yin’s girlfriend is in our school, she is the prettiest English major — Su Mo.”
“Oh, how is she?”
“Su Mo looks pretty good. Of course, she cannot be compared with our Shui Ling… Su Mo is very innocent and likes to wear white dresses normally. Her character is very obedient and gentle. She speaks softly as if she would not have a temper at all. Oh right, that Su Mo likes to carry hello kitty backpacks… Shuiling, talking about it now, I think this Su Mo is so similar to you in the past.”
Yin Shuiling laughed and said, “Really?”
“Of course…” Lin Xuemei wanted to continue speaking, but at this moment, a group of people came over in her direction. The large group of girls were surrounding a beautiful girl like a queen as they ambushed her.
“Shuiling, speak of the devil. She is really here now. The one in the middle is that Su Mo.”
Yin Shuiling lifted her head up to have a look. Su Mo, who was in the middle of the group, was just as Lin Xuemei described her. She was dressed in a white dress that made her look like an angel. She looked young, around 21 years old, and she carried a pink Hello Kitty backpack.
Yin Shuiling found her funny. A 21 year old university student was still carrying such a childish bag? No matter how she looked at her, she looked so out of place.
Yin Shuiling could also tell at first glance that the hello kitty bag that she was carrying was the same one that Yin Shuiling used to have.
But the funny thing was, these three years, hello kitty bags had gone through many designs, and Su Mo was still carrying the old design from three years ago.
Lin Xuemei said that this Su Mo was like her, and looking at her now, she did seem similar in some ways…
“Shuiling, look at how Su Mo looks so delighted. She is able to get whatever she wants in S university because President Yin pampers her all the time. That is why all of the students in school are trying to get into her good books, and even the rich businessmen in T City have started to give presents to this Su Mo under the table. They are thinking of using this Su Mo to change their fates in front of President Yin by asking her to speak to the side of President Yin’s ear beside his pillow.”
“Pillow?”
“That’s right, Su Mo started to live together with President Mu a long time ago. This is no secret in T City. Every Friday, President Yin always personally drives to pick Su Mo up and take her back to his condominium unit.”
Yin Shuiling listened on without saying a single word.
At this moment, the large group of girls came over. A girl among them stretched her hand out to point at Yin Shuiling. “Oy, I am calling out to you. Give some space and let us through. Our Su Mo wants to walk along this path. You should quickly retreat to one side.”
