Chapter 113: Banquet
Yin Lingyan and Han Wuyu were engaged in pleasantries. Yin Lingyan always felt Mu Xingchen’s gaze drifting over her intermittently, but when she looked over, he seemed to be talking to someone else.
The banquet proceeded smoothly. Yin Lingyan sat in a corner, watching the interactive games on the floor, and suddenly felt out of place in this world.
The clothes everyone was wearing could cover her living expenses for a year.
Just as she was lost in thought again, Han Wuyu also withdrew from the feast. He had drunk quite a bit, so when he appeared beside her, she smelled a strong scent of alcohol, which temporarily made her forget her wandering thoughts.
“How is it, are you feeling unwell?” Yin Lingyan gently patted Han Wuyu’s back. Unexpectedly, he grabbed her hand.
Yin Lingyan was stunned. She saw a flicker of heartache in Han Wuyu’s eyes, and then he hugged her tightly, as if she were his precious doll.
Han Wuyu rested his head on her shoulder, his voice light and airy, “I will definitely investigate for you…” about your parents’ matter.
“Hmm?” Yin Lingyan only heard him say one word, “investigate?” Investigate what?
As she was about to ask for clarification, the man’s soft breathing sounded by her ear.
She sighed, “You must be very tired, and you drank so much.”
Yin Lingyan took out his mobile phone, but it had a password. She thought for a moment and entered 0630. But after just four digits, it actually unlocked?
She was momentarily stunned. It was her birthday. She had just tried it. She didn’t expect it to actually open like that.
She swiped the screen, but the desktop picture wasn’t her. She was a little disappointed. But then she remembered that they hadn’t taken a photo together yet.
No. There must be a memento. Yin Lingyan thought for a moment, took out her new mobile phone, and took two pictures of Han Wuyu sleeping with herself. After taking two consecutive pictures, Yin Lingyan very satisfiedly put away her phone.
Then she also set a password for the gallery, because the second picture was of her kissing Han Wuyu’s cheek.
The mobile phone was lost during the last kidnapping. Han Wuyu very quickly got her a new one. She still had lingering fear from that kidnapping. Han Wuyu thoughtfully enabled the location function on her phone.
She called a driver from the old house named Li Shuolei, told him her location, and then hung up the phone, waiting patiently.
She glanced at the time. It was almost eleven o’clock. Yin Lingyan looked at the sleeping Han Wuyu, gently put him down, and went to the restroom.
…………………………
When Yin Lingyan came out, she encountered someone in the restroom, the man named Mu Xingchen.
Mu Xingchen saw her come out, tilted his head slightly, his Adam’s apple bobbed as if he swallowed, and then he softly greeted her.
“Are you… doing well?”
Yin Lingyan chose to ignore his words because she didn’t know him at all, so it was possible he wasn’t talking to her. She prepared to walk past him, but a hand blocked her path.
“You don’t want to see me?” Mu Xingchen looked at Yin Lingyan expectantly, but his words were so stiff.
Yin Lingyan was helpless and could only look up at Mu Xingchen, who was a head taller than her, “Sir, have you mistaken me for someone else?”
She knew him? How could that be possible? The son of the mysterious Mu Family, how could he know her? What a joke.
Mu Xingchen didn’t expect this reaction from her. He gave a bitter smile and lowered his hand. “So… I mistook you for someone else.”
These words were spoken so fragilely. Yin Lingyan saw this scene…
