He would forever remember the time when she hugged him when she was eight years old, when she said that she would protect him in the future.
She would forever be his little angel.
It was simply not possible for him to be together with her. Or maybe, she had never thought about the possibility of being together with him. It was also better this way, and it would cut all of his longing that he had.
Since this was the case, then he would put her in the safest place and take the role as an "Older Brother" and protect her for his entire life.
Liu Caizhe found this topic to be very depressing, so he switched the topic by saying, "Muchen, it is the eve of Spring Festival tonight. The Mu family went to the Yin family to be guests. The Yin family must have long prepared a lavish feast, both families must be happily enjoying their meals with one another."
Yin Muchen snorted and did not answer.
...
The luxurious vehicle quickly stopped on the porch of the condominium unit. Liu Caizhe alighted from the car and opened the back door. Yin Muchen took both his suit and coat in his hands as he alighted from the car, and at this moment, Liu Caizhe said, "Muchen, it is the eve of Spring Festival tonight. Look at the lights shining brightly in every home. Why don't you come with us to have a drink? You also should not return home alone. Don't you feel lonely all alone in a dark home? Bring Lidy along and let her accompany you."
Lidy, who was in the car, was brought up. She quickly look at Yin Muchen with an expectant gaze.
Yin Muchen looked at the light shining brightly among the numerous households. It was really warm, and there were fireworks bursting out into the sky, and he almost could hear the ringing sound of merry laughter and chatting among the people.
It was the eve of Spring Festival, and everyone was in the middle of reuniting with one another.
Only he was all alone by himself.
Yin Muchen laughed and did not look at Lidy."There is no need for that. You should go."
He lifted his long legs as he headed towards the condominium unit.
Lidy's expression turned dark. Liu Caizhe looked at the man's handsome and lonely back profile, and he let out a sigh.
...
Inside the condominium unit, Yin Muchen opened the door and went inside. It was all dark. There was no one, no lights, and no sound. Aunty was not around. He placed both of his hands in his pockets as he looked around his surroundings.
He switched the ceiling lights on, and the yellow glow spewed down on him, making his back profile look extremely long. He threw his car keys onto coffee table, and he placed both of his hands in his pockets.
He was very bored and also did not know what he wanted to do. He lifted his long legs, and when he regained his senses, he was already standing in the kitchen. His gaze was fixed on the cutting-board that was hung on the wall.
Actually, he also did not know what he was looking at. He must have been dreaming of that day. He dreamt that the girl went on her tiptoes as she went on to hold the cutting board, and she probably wanted to cook for him.
He did not know how to cook, and the women that he had were like An Mengwen, Lidy.... To please him, they all learned how to cook, but he did not taste it before, and he did not want to try it. 𝘧𝑟𝐞𝒆w𝚎𝙗𝐧ov𝘦𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
When he had needs, it was all in the hotel, and he did not go to a woman's bedroom. He also never brought a woman back home.
He would leave after he was done — brisk and nonchalant.
In the deepest part of his heart, he also craved for a woman to cook for him.
He was simply picky. No matter whether it was kissing or cooking, he had already decided on that woman in the bottom of his heart.
It could only be her.
Yin Muchen laughed and turned around to head out of the kitchen. He went up the staircase. The girl's room was already sealed up. He would not go and look at it again. He went inside his own bedroom and collapsed on the bed.
He actually had not done anything at all, but he was already so exhausted that he did not want to move anymore.
The loud festivities outside had nothing to do with him, and he quietly closed his eyes.
He did not want to shower, and he also did not want to work. He just laid down on the bed like that and decided to sleep...
But he was unable to fall asleep. There was a part of his body that felt uncomfortable. He lowered his gaze down to have a look, and it was just as what he had predicted...
After meeting the girl today, he was rash once again.
He was 26 years old now. He was at the prime of his youth, and in the past, when he was in America, he would be greedy for an outlet to satisfy himself. He did not feel that it was very enjoyable, but what was wrong with him during this period of time? He could not control his own body. He would be unable to control it the moment she appeared in front of him, and he was being way too sensitive.
Yin Muchen closed his eyes and stretched his hand out to take the tissue paper that was placed on the bed stand, then he went downwards...
...
After winter, spring came. Yin Shuiling lost her freedom entirely. Her life was restricted between school and the Yin family villa, but when she had the opportunity to head out of the house, there was a chauffeur and bodyguards trailing behind her.
"Yin Muchen" had already turned into a forbidden word in the Yin family. Yin De and Shi Xiaoqing did not bring this name up ever again. They intended for Yin Shuiling to give up entirely. Yin Shuiling also did not bring this name up once again. Her love, she hid it in the bottom of her heart.
Yin Shuiling, who had always been an obedient girl, fell out with her family very quickly. Neither party wanted to back down. Every time that she came home on the weekends, she was not on speaking terms with her parents. The Yin family seemed to be united on the surface, but their relationship with one another got even more cold and distant underneath the veneer.
But Yin De and Shi Xiaoqing's relationship with the Mu family got even better as the days went by. The two families would meet one another two to three times a month, and they would dress Yin Shuiling up extremely extravagantly to attend the Mu family's business dealings. Yin Shuiling was unable to reject them. She was just like a puppet as they forced her to do so as they pleased. She did not smile again, and when she reached the Mu home, she always liked to look outside the window, and she would anticipate Yin Muchen's sudden appearance...
She anticipated that he would emerge from the skies to save her.
Her love was met with a huge blow when she was 16 years old. She was brave as she stood in the rain and put up a fight all alone. She hoped so fervently that she was not alone in her fight. She hoped so fervently that in these desperate days, he could accompany her and stay by her side.
But Yin Muchen did not come.
What came after that was news that wowed the entertainment industry. Yin Muchen started to hang out with many daughters of wealthy families. The women by his side changed non stop. In the jewellery shop, in the five star hotel, there was always a photograph of him holding hands with a woman romantically at any given time.
He started to play around with girls.
Yin Shuiling went to look for Yin Muchen before. Ning Qing helped her to conceal it/ She climbed out of the main doors of the dorm in the middle of the night. She managed to slip past the people on guard. She went into the condominium unit. There was a woman inside the condominium unit that day; it was Lidy. Aunty felt awkward as she stood there. She wept while she knocked on the door.
She called out his name again and again — Yin Muchen...
She even told him again and again — Yin Muchen, I like you...
But, the door of his room did not open up for her anymore.
There was still no one who dared to bully her. She was still the most arrogant princess in T City. Other than being unable to see him, Liu Caizhe took over all of her matters, and he still maintained the best treatment that he'd given her in the past.
Just like he said, he retreated to stand within the safety line, and he really treated her like his younger sister.
...
That day, inside the private room of a bar
Yin Muchen leaned back on the sofa as he drank. Lidy took a microphone and picked a classic song that was melodious and pleasant to the ears. Liu Caizhe looked at the man, laughed, and said, "Muchen, I prepared a present for you today."
Yin Muchen curled the corners of his lips up into a smile. His dark gaze scanned Liu Caizhe's secretive expression. He was very receptive as he asked Liu Caizhe, "Oh, what is it?"
"A woman..."
Lidy, who was in the midst of singing, suddenly went off-key, and she turned her gaze back to have a look at the man who was seated on the sofa. He was dressed in a black shirt and black trousers. The neon lights in the dark private room shone on the man's handsome, exquisite face. She looked at him and felt that he was extremely eye catching.
Lidy let out a bitter smile and continued to sing. She'd given up the important role of being the managing director of the region, and she continued to accompany him by his side, but he already did not want to touch her anymore.
He did not want to touch her even once.
That night, the girl called Yin Shuiling stood outside the door and knocked on the door. He stood by the French windows with a hand in his pocket while using another hand to smoke.
He was too hurried when he smoked, and that caused the entire room to be filled with the overpowering scent of cigarettes.
The girl left, and when he turned his gaze back to look at her, he said a few words. He was both cold and cruel. He'd said — You can also leave now...
She was merely his tool.
Actually, he did have many demands. There was once when there was a period of time that he was busy with a project, he would sleep in the company at night. She would go and organize the room in the morning. Both Liu Caizhe and Hu Ya were both, and there was a bundle of paper balls below the bed.
Everyone understood that he had used his hands.
No matter the fact that there were many sorts of women that appeared by his side.
Lidy was no longer jealous of this anymore. She was thinking, in the world between him and that girl, nobody else could fit in.
Yin Muchen lazily withdrew his gaze. He lifted his head up to drink, and he did not bother with Liu Caizhe. It was obvious that he was uninterested.
Liu Caizhe laughed out loud and snapped his fingers loudly. The door of the private room was pushed open, and Hu Ya brought a girl over.
A white skirt appeared in Yin Muchen's peripheral vision. He put his wine glass down and lifted his head up to have a look.
The moment he looked, his irises contracted at once.
"Muchen, why does she look similar?"
Yin Muchen looked at the girl from head to toe, with the same facial features, same figure, and even her aura and behaviour were all extremely similar. She could definitely be... the second Yin Shuiling.
"Where did you find her?" he asked.
"Muchen, don't you know the games of the elite? It is not rare to have a person to look exactly alike/ The rich people all love this sort of thing. Think about it, your behaviour on a daily basis right now is not something that can go on for long. I've found a replica to satiate you. You have played around with women before, and you know that all women have the same taste. Because you are unable to lay your hands on it, you would start to imagine and prophesize. After you gain it, it just tastes like that."
Yin Muchen laughed lightly and did not say a word.
Liu Caizhe noticed that he was not rejecting it so he used his gaze to give an indication to Hu Ya. Hu Ya nodded his head, and he brought the girl downstairs.
...
At this moment, two girls appeared in the corridor. Yin Shuiling looked at the door of the hotel room and asked Ning Qing, "Qing Qing, would we really not be exposed? The bodyguards that are trailing after me..."
Ning Qing patted Yin Shuiling's small hand and winked her eyes playfully as she said, "You don't have to worry, Shuiling, there is an activity in school today. The teachers and classmates are all here in the bar. Although they are our seniors in Year Three, we are the ones who have snuck in, but the bodyguards do not know about that..."
As she spoke, Ning Qing pointed towards a room in the distance."Shuiling, it is that room. I asked someone to investigate and find out. It is Older Brother Yin's room. I will keep guard for you outside the room, and you should chat properly with Older Brother Yin. After you are done chatting, come out quickly."
Ning Qing's character was always clever and witty. Yin Shuiling always trusted Ning Qing to get things done."Okay." She nodded her head forcefully as she said, "Qingqing, I will go in then."
Yin Shuiling ran to the door of the room. She placed her small hand on the handle, and she pushed the door open as she headed in.
The door closed behind her.
This was a luxurious suite. There was a refreshing scent in the room. Yin Shuiling took two steps forward, and she suddenly noticed a girl dressed in a white dress sitting on the large, extravagant bed.
"Ah!" Yin Shuiling had a look at her and screamed out loud.
The girl dressed in white looked exactly the same as her, and she thought that she was looking into a mirror.
The girl dressed in white looked at Yin Shuiling, and she was also shocked. She stood up and asked, "Who are you?"
"I should be the one asking you this, who are you? Why do you look exactly the same as me?"
"My name is Xiao Mei. I was kidnapped by some human traffickers when I was attending school. After that, the human traffickers sold me away. I don't know who bought me, but someone brought me over to Korea for plastic surgery, and he even gave me a small booklet to study how to walk and talk. They groomed me to behave like this. There was someone that brought me over here and asked me to serve a man. I do not want to serve him. I am only 15 years old. I want to attend school. I want to go back home to look for my parents; can you help me?"
