<h4>Chapter 537: The Truth That Came Too Late</h4>


    Liu Caizhe rushed over and saw Yin Muchen looking soulless and crumpled. That handsome and charming man was leaning back against the wall, stooped in a bundle. He took a cigarette from his pocket. It took a few tries to light the cigarette before he could light it up sessfully.


    “Muchen, what’s wrong? I heard that Miss Yin is pregnant?”


    He’d just received the news. He rushed over immediately. Two and a half weeks, both Hu Ya and him were clear that this was Yin Muchen’s child.


    Yin Muchen was the father of this child.


    “Yeah.” Yin Muchen took a breath of smoke, and his voice was entirely hoarse. “She was pregnant, but she miscarried the child just now....”


    “What?” Liu Caizhe was extremely shocked and said, “What happened?”


    “Nothing much, just that...” Yin Muchen’s fingers that he used to hold the cigarette were shaking. There was pain on that handsome face, “I drank some alcohol, went to her room, and forced myself on her.”


    Liu Caizhe’s irises contracted.


    Yin Muchen smoked and continued, “Actually, I was not drunk. I just used the excuse of being drunk to do some crazy things... I was angry and really could not get over it. The girl whom I treasured preciously throughout these years, no matter the grievances between the previous generation, I did not bear to hurt even one strand of her hair...but, she went to a hotel with another boy, and she even got pregnant with another man’s child...


    “This afternoon, at this location, I saw her hugging Fan Chengsi. She begged Fan Chengsi to bring her away as if this ce were like a cage to her... Even if I was between her and my mother, no matter how hard it was for me, I cannot allow her to leave, but she is thinking of leaving me so easily... How can she do this to me?”


    “Ten years ago, I did not need her that much when she appeared... She could’ve not appeared, then let me survive through all of these on my own. Maybe I would’ve be a thug on the streets or ended up in jail.. but she did appear and did not want to leave. I never ever thought of a time when I would be living my life without her at all... I am afraid now. I am really afraid now...


    “My heart feels so ufortable, so I went to her room. The moment I touched her, I just lost control totally, I... She miscarried, and she was bleeding so profusely. When I saw her just now, she could not even close her eyes... I know that she hates me now. She must hate me now...”


    ...


    One hourter, the doctor removed his bloodied gloves. The doctor wiped the beads of cold sweat from his forehead before he said, “President Yin, Miss Yin’s condition is already stable, but it is a big matter for a woman to miscarry a child. From now on, Miss Yin has to lie down in bed to rest, and she must go through a confinement period and nourish her body well.”


    “Yeah.” Yin Muchen nodded his head.


    “Also...” The doctor stuttered on.


    “Also what?”


    “President Yin, Miss Yin’s body has been too weak recently, and from the start, getting pregnant at such a young age is a big source of stress. Just now...Miss Yin miscarried and hurt her ovaries. In the future, if she wants to get pregnant again, it would be very hard to do so.”


    Yin Muchen’s face darkened. “What did you say?”


    “President Yin, don’t be angry. I am only doing a preliminary prediction right now. I did not say for sure that Miss Yin could not get pregnant in the future; there is a chance of a miracle.”


    It was fine if the doctor did not try to exin himself, but the moment he did so, Yin Muchen grabbed the cor of his shirt and gave him a punch. He lowered his volume, clenched his teeth, and said, “Who did you say could not pregnant anymore? You said...”


    The doctor was shocked, and his legs went soft. “President Yin, please spare my life...”


    Liu Caizhe quickly came forward, and he stopped Yin Muchen. “Muchen, that’s enough. It is already such a mess right now. Don’t add on to it. Miss Yin is inside the room. Don’t say anything else...”


    Yin Muchen’s eyes were red as he withdrew his fist. He turned sideways and looked at the closed door.


    ...


    In the room


    Aunty was seated by the side of the bed. She could hear every single word that was said outside the room. Aunty felt bad as she looked at the girl who was lying quietly on the bed. How did she... be infertile just like that?


    Yin Shuiling, who was lying on the bed, closed her eyes tight. The beads of tears trickled out of the corners of her eyes, and they disappeared in her hair.


    Actually, she was awake.


    The words that were said outside the room, she could also hear them very clearly.


    ...


    Yin Shuiling started to go through her month-long confinement period.


    She was very obedient and tried hard to eat her meals and sleep well. Aunty cared for every single aspect of her life with all of her attention and abilities. She would asionally let out a bit of a smile, one that was strong, and brave.


    Yin Muchen did not go to the office. He stayed at the condominium unit for a whole entire month.


    But he did not go into the girl’s room at all. It was not that he did not want to go in, but every time that he stood outside the door of her room, he did not have the courage to open that door.


    He also knew that the girl did not want to see him.


    There was a time when the door was open. He stood outside the door to have a nce at her. At that moment, Aunty was feeding her soup. Aunty noticed him and addressed him at once, and the moment he saw her, his entire body froze.


    Both people, one inside the room, one outside the room. Actually they were not far away from one another, but it was just as if they were a whole world apart.


    One month quickly passed. Aunty allowed her to use electronic products once again. Yin Shuiling closed the door and sat against the headboard of the bed. She switched her phone on to look at the text message that her mother had sent her.


    There were many text messages, from the day Shi Xiaoqing passed away, she wrote one message after another to send to her...


    “Shuiling, you spoke to mum like this. Mummy is really hurt. To be honest, Mum did not think that I did anything wrong. Mummy does not like Yin Muchen. I don’t like this boy who suddenly barged into our family. Mummy also knows that Yin Muchen likes you...


    “There was a day when I went to the condominium unit to look for you. I stood outside the door and saw you dressed in dance attire. You sat on Yin Muchen’sp as you kissed him... You can never imagine the thoughts of a mother. My 15 year old daughter, your body has yet to mature, and he hugged you as both of you kissed one another. Both of his hands were on your body... Shuiling, how can you ask your mother to agree to you being together with Yin Muchen?”


    “After that, I created a misunderstanding, I asked you to return home and purposely ced a magazine between the books on your desk. I made Yin Muchen misunderstand that you felt that he was dirty and disgusting. I made him misunderstand that you started to be afraid of him, hated him, and started to distance yourself from him...but if he still had his dignity and pride left, he should have left you..


    “Mummy seeded. Yin Muchen started to maintain a distance between you and him as expected, and your rtionship with one another started to have cracks and suspicions...


    “Shuiling, Mummy is doing this for your own good. Mummy wants to marry into the Mu family, and in the future, you would lead avish and extravagant lifestyle without suffering at all... Mummy only has one daughter. Mummy and Daddy’s marriage is already...just on paper. Mummy has given all of her love and hope and ced it on you... Mummy wishes that you would not have gotten together with Yin Muchen at 15 years old...


    “Shuiling, these three years, you were unwilling to speak to Mummy. Mummy feels very bad. Your father does not care about me, and even you are distancing yourself from me. Two days ago, I went to the hospital alone. My heart is already getting more and more painful...


    “Shuiling, where are you right now? Why are you unwilling to pick up Mummy’s calls? Come back home, okay? Could it be that you really do not want Mummy because of Yin Muchen?


    “Shuiling, Mummy loves you.”...


    Yin Shuiling read all of the messages calmly. Her legs were curled up. She hugged herself tight, and her line of vision were fixed on the three words Mummy loves you, and her face was drenched with tears in an instant.


    She thought that she would not cry anymore, but her tears flowed down her face even more ferociously, and she could not control it at all.


    “Mummy...ooh ooh...”


    The 18 year old girl was pregnant, and she miscarried it in the end. At this moment, she needed the warm embrace of a mother the most. She also needed a person like Ning Qing, a friend whom she could vent to...


    But she did not have anything at all.


    Inside this room, she had nothing at all.


    ...


    She did not know how long she was crying for when the sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air. Someone walked into the room holding a meal tray.


    “Miss Yin, it is time to eat.”


    Yin Shuiling could tell whose voice it was. It was...Liu Caizhe.


    She stopped sobbing and maintained her posture. She ced her small chin down on her kneecaps and was i a quiet daze.


    “Were you the one who contacted me?” she asked in a calm tone.


    Liu Caizhe politely stood at the side of the bed. He looked at the girl in the bed. This month of recovery did not make her any better. She’d even lost more weight. Her petite figure did not seem to exist at all beneath her loose cotton pyjamas.


    Liu Caizhe was regretful. He knew what the girl was asking about. She was asking if the messages that arranged for her to sleep with Yin Muchen were sent by him.


    “Yes, it was me.” Liu Caizhe nodded his head.


    “Okay...” Yin Shuiling was not rmed. After reading the text messages that her mother had sent her, the things she could not understand in the past all made sense now. “He did not know it was me. It was because he did not dare to think it was me, right?”


    “Actually, he did like me, he wanted to have me a long long time ago, but because...of my mother, he thought that I was resisting him, avoiding him. Despite the fact that I have told him so many times that I like him, he would not believe it, because he always thought that I treated him like an older brother and have never treated him like a man.”


    “Yes, Muchen did like you. He could not bear to have any man to take advantage of you. You two did enjoy a sweet period of time. He also wanted to continue being like that with you, but after your mother... She ced a magazine, and he thought that you also started to realize, and he was afraid.... Muchen wanted to have you, so I gifted him a body double that looked exactly the same as you.”


    Yin Shuiling understood everything. She finally understood why he never switched on the lights because he was afraid that he was going to find something different on her body.


    He never kissed her, because...he only wanted to kiss her.


    Only her.


    “Then, these three years, the phone calls that I gave him, the text messages that I sent him, why did he not reply?”


    “Because, I used his phone to block your number.”


    Yin Shuilingughed softly. No wonder...


    ‘Why did you have to do that?”


    “Because you are notpatible with Muchen, and you two have no future.”


    Liu Caizhe thought on his own ord that as a subordinate and a friend, he did not do anything wrong.


    He was clear as a bystander that these two people had too much hate and grievances between one another, and they would not have a day where everything will turn out fine. The more involved they be, the more pain and bitterness the would feelter on.


    Yin Shuiling did not know the grievances between the members of the previous generation, and she did not even know the existence of Liu Wanxin.


    What kind of existence did Liu Wanxin have?


    With Liu Wanxin’s existence, as long as she was around for a day, there was no possibility of Yin Shuiling being together with Yin Muchen.


    But Liu Caizhe felt sorry and regretful towards this girl. Yin De was Yin De, and she was herself. When she met Yin Muchen, she was only 8 years old, at an age where she did not know anything at all.


    She was the most innocent person.


    And now this most innocent person, she lost her position and her heart. She miscarried her child, and the chance of ever being a mother was snatched away from her. She was only 18 years old, yet she paid the most and lost the most in this battle.
