My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Light the fire…

If not for this group of people around, she would throw the metal lighter at his face, but Yin Shuiling decided to hold it in for now. She bent over and helped him light the cigarette.

The man squinted his eyes as he turned his head to light his cigarette. After it was lit, he took a breath of smoke, and threw out a card. The crowd was instantly stumped.

“Big Boss, were you were playing with us just now? It was obvious that we would definitely win, and Miss Yin lit your cigarette for you, so you won just like that?”

“Big Boss, I dare to say that Miss Yin gives her husband good luck…”

Yin Shuiling walked out while the group cheered on. When she walked along the corridor, she heard the group jeer, “Big Boss, you are not young anymore. When are you going to marry Miss Yin?”

Yin Shuiling’s heart was tight as she waited for the answer.

But the man did not give an answer.

…

Yin Shuiling went down the stairs. She saw that the main doors of the villa were open, and Aunty was standing at the side of the doors. “Miss Yin, come and have a look. Didn’t you want to release some fireworks? Sir bought some.”

Yin Shuiling walked over, and there were many firecrackers and fireworks on the porch. At this moment, the sound of footsteps coming down from upstairs rang out behind her. The group of men all came downstairs, and Yin Muchen was in right in front, leading the group.

Yin Muchen walked over and came to her side before stretching his hand out to hold her small waist. “Let’s go. I will bring you over to set off the fireworks.”

They walked to the lawn.

The rain last night made the air today seem extremely fresh. The fifteenth day of the new year was known as the “Little New Year,” and it was just as rowdy as the eve of the new year. The skies in the distance had fireworks bursting out in the night sky.

Her entire body was taken into the man’s embrace. He bent down to kiss her small face as he said, “Are you afraid? Do you want to light the firecrackers with me?”

Yin Shuiling was shy as she ducked away. There were so many people here, and he just kissed her as if there were nobody around. Didn’t he see everyone covering their mouths as they subtly laughed?

He was so shameless.

Hu Ya sent a lighter over. He squeezed the lighter in the centre of her palm before using both of his hands to hold her small hand. The man was in a good mood, and he lifted his eyebrows up to look at her as he said, “If you are afraid, you can duck in my embrace.”

He bent over with her as they lit the firecrackers.

Boom, boom! The firecrackers that were gathered in a heart shape started to ring out. “Ah!” She let out a scream. She was in fear as she hid in his warm, broad embrace.

“Haha…” The men all broke out into laughter.

Yin Shuiling had always been taught to be a feminine girl. When she was young, other girls would come into a group and release firecrackers secretly. They would cover their ears and run away, and she could only watch them from a distance.

Actually, she also wanted to light the firecrackers and have a taste of this nervous and exhilarating feeling.

And now, it could be considered that she had gotten her wish. She hid her small palm sized face in the collar of the man’s comfortable shirt. He used one hand to hold onto her, and he laughed together with the other men. There was a light trace of alcohol and smoke on his body. It was very pleasant to the nose. She tugged on his shirt. She was so shy that she did not dare to lift her head back up.

“Okay, let’s not laugh at Miss Yin anymore. Otherwise, Big Boss is going to criticize us again. Let’s go. Let’s go and light the fireworks.”

It was the 15th day of the new year. All of the men were relaxed. They took the lighter in their hands as they lit the fireworks up. Boom, boom! The sparkling fireworks flew towards the sky. Bang! The fireworks lit up the night sky and fell towards the earth like a meteor shower.

Yin Shuiling opened her eyes as she was nestled in the man’s embrace. The sound of laughter and merrymaking rang out in her ears. Her vision full of bright and colourful fireworks. Her world was instantly clouded with the taste of the new year.

She had not celebrated the new year for many years now.

At this moment, the muscular arms around her soft waist tightened. The man held her firmly. Aunty brought a large bundle of small fireworks, the type that children played with. “This is for you.”

Yin Muchen handed the fireworks over to her.

Yin Shuiling took them. She pouted her small lips as she snorted, “Why are they playing with the large fireworks, and I have to play with these little ones?”

Yin Muchen laughed softly. He kissed her small earlobes lovingly and said, “Who was the one hiding in my embrace because she was scared?”

Yin Shuiling’s small face was burning red. She clenched her teeth as she played around with the fireworks in her hands.

“Shuiling, are you happy?” the man asked her.

“Yeah.” She nodded her head.

She was happy.

She was very happy.

“Shuiling, Happy New Year…although it might be a little late.”

When his deep, warm voice rang out in her ears, Yin Shuiling lifted her head up quickly to look towards the sky. She did not dare to blink her eyes. She was afraid that if she blinked, the tears in her eyes would gush out.

Yin Muchen, Happy New Year.

…

After midnight, the group of people slowly started to leave. The villa was extremely messy. Yin Muchen allowed Aunty to have a break and asked her to go back home. She could take care of the mess tomorrow.

After Aunty left, Yin Muchen carried Yin Shuiling back to the bedroom, and it was natural for them to curl up with one another once again. It was already three in the morning by the time they went to bed.

There was a yellow lamp in the bedroom. Yin Shuiling slowly sat up in bed before she looked at the man beside her. She said, “Yin Muchen, Yin Muchen…”

Yin Muchen did not respond. His breathing was even, and it was obvious that he was in deep sleep.

This sort of thing wasted much energy, and he’s wasted so much energy on her the last couple nights. He was also exhausted.

Upon seeing her in deep slumber, Yin Shuiling lifted the blankets and got off the bed. She opened the door of the room and headed out of the room, then she secretly opened the door to the study.

His notebook was on the desk.

Yin Shuiling walked over before stretching her hand out to open his notebook, but there was a password required to access the notebook.

Yin Shuiling paused for a few seconds. She used her small fair fingers to press down on the keys, and she entered the six digit password.

After one second, the notebook was unlocked.

The password that she entered was correct.

There was a row of documents placed on the desktop. One of them was the CTCI tender proposal draft. She placed the thumb drive in and copied the CTCI tender draft onto the thumb drive.

After completing the task, she switched the computer off.

She did not leave immediately and chose to sit in the office chair as she fell into a daydream with the thumb drive by her side.

She thought about that time they went to Hong Kong. He gave her a gold card and asked her to go shopping on her own, and at that time, she pouted her small lips as she acted cute. She asked him how she was going to go shopping when she did not have the password.

He kissed her immediately, and while he kissed her, he told her the password. He said that everything of his belonged to her, and he would allow her to spend all she wanted.

Yin Shuiling’s eyes were in a daze as she looked at the thumb drive. There was no expression on her face, but her face was deathly pale, and she was so pale that the tiny blood vessels on her face could be seen clearly.

There was the image of John whom she’d met on the trip to Hong Kong. The guests that came over today also appeared in her eyes, and all these scenes flashed in her eyes. The way he looked at her gently when they were releasing the fireworks… It replayed again and again…

She covered her face. The hot tears were weaving through her fingers, and she bit down on her lower lip as she did not dare to cry out loud.

Similarly, she could not forget her mother that she dreamt of every night. The expression that her father had in his eyes as he begged her in prison…

Her heart was torn in two, and in the quiet night, she removed all of her pretense as she sobbed out painfully.

What should she do?

Four years ago, her entire family was ruined, and she lost a child. She had once thought that period of time was the hardest period of her life, and it turned out that life did not have a hardest time but only harder things to face.

After half an hour, she reined in her tears as she took her phone out. She dialed a number and said, “Hello, Sixth Older Brother…”

…

After winter left and spring came, four months had gone by. Yin Muchen and Yin Shuiling were interacting with one another sweetly, and Yin Muchen would occasionally go on business trips. When he came back two weeks later, Aunty would know that Miss Yin Shuiling would not come downstairs that day.

Yin Shuiling stood before the windows the next day as she looked at the blue sky and white clouds. She knew that the peace and quiet right now was all a false pretense, and the real storm was about to come soon.

After Sixth Older Brother got his hands on the CTCI tender draft, he gave her another call. He wanted an accounting record that Yin Muchen had.

Yin Shuiling did not know the use of this accounting record, and she did not agree to his request immediately.

After that, Sixth Older Brother said, “Miss Yin, this is the last time that we are working with one another. Let me tell you some good news, after this year of working together, our boss has already made all of the necessary connections. As long as we are able to get our hands on the accounting record, your father will get out of prison. We have also taken care of all the details needed for Yin De to start a new life overseas with a new identity. You and your father can finally escape Yin Muchen’s control and gain your freedom back.”

Yin Shuiling’s throat felt bitter. She wanted to say something, but at last, she did not say anything at all, and she hung up immediately.

Accounting record…

The last time they were working with one another…

Both her father and her could be free once again. Yin Muchen would also meet his end soon. Was that really true?

…

This day, Yin Muchen came back from a business trip. He called Yin Shuiling and said, “Hello, Shuiling, come out now. I’m taking you to meet someone.”

Yin Shuiling walked out of the villa before boarding his Rolls Royce. She fastened the seat belt and asked, “Who are you taking me to meet?”

Yin Muchen slowly smiled, then said, “You will know once you get there.”

The car cruised for half an hour before it stopped by the Clear River Bend Villa. Yin Muchen opened car door and held her small hand as he gently said, “Shuiling, perform a little better today. My mother likes obedient girls.”

Yin Shuiling widened her eyes. She did not hear him clearly, so she said, “Wh…what? Your mother?”

“Yeah, let’s go in.” Yin Muchen held her hand as they headed inside.

After entering the villa, Yin Shuiling saw someone in the living room. Liu Wanxin was seated on the wheelchair, and Xiao Qing stood by Liu Wanxin’s side.

Yin Shuiling had a look at Liu Wanxin and knew that she was Yin Muchen’s mother. Yin Muchen’s handsome looks were seventy percent inherited from her. Yin Shuiling was in a daze as she looked at Liu Wanxin before looking at Xiao Qing. She recognized this Xiao Qing; she saw her before in the lobby of SK.

Yin Shuiling was entirely in a daze, she never thought that there would be a day that Yin Muchen would suddenly have a mother.

And this Xiao Qing…

Yin Muchen kneaded Yin Shuiling’s small soft hand as he said, “Mum, I have brought Shuiling. Shuiling, this is my mother.”

It was an extremely simple introduction.

Yin Shuiling was in a daze as she regained her senses. She greeted her. “Aunty…”

Liu Wanxin could not see. Her eyes did not have a focus as she looked over in the direction of the sound. The expression on her face was not too good. She did not have a smile, and she really did not even want to place a small smile on her face as she answered, “Hmm.”

Her tone was very awkward.

Yin Shuiling was extremely sensitive inside her heart. Her instincts told her that Yin Muchen’s mother did not like her, that his mother did not like her at all.

Yin Shuiling looked at Liu Wanxin for a moment, and it was only then that she noticed how Liu Wanxin’s legs were disabled, and her eyes…were also disabled.

When she was studying in England, she had volunteered with disabled people, and she knew that disabled people’s entire world was grey. The things that they were undertaking were something that normal people could not understand.

Yin Shuiling’s heart felt sour. She felt that this Liu Wanxin was pretty…pitiful.

At this moment, Yin Muchen said, “Shuiling, I have an emergency meeting at the office. I have to rush back. You can stay behind today to accompany my mother. I will come back tonight, so let’s stay here tonight.”
