My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 645: Your Daughter Is Really So Beautiful

How many years old?

Little Bei Bei pondered for a moment before she stretched out three fingers.

Yin Muchen froze, and there was joy in his eyes. Three years old. She’d been gone for three years. Could this girl be his...

“No that’s not right.” Little Bei Bei suddenly scratched her small head before she curled three of her small fingers up as she looked at Yin Muchen as she spoke childishly, “Uncle, I am two and a half years old now.”

Yin Muchen’s glow in his eyes dimmed out immediately. Two and a half years old...

His handsome face looked to be in a blur. The expression on this 37 year old man was a little out of place. He raised his head up to look at Yin Shuiling, who was standing at one side. His face was pale as he tugged on the corner of his lips, and had a smile on his face as he asked, “You have a daughter now?”

Yin Shuiling felt her heart was kneaded by a large hand. She looked on as the man was...at such a loss, and she did not know how to reply to him.

Yin Muchen knew that his question was very unnecessary. When he had met Little Bei Bei in France, from the first glance, he felt that Little Bei Bei was Yin Shuiling’s miniature version. Little Bei Bei was definitely her daughter.

She gave birth to Little Bei Bei.

“That’s pretty good.” Yin Muchen stretched his hand out to pet Little Bei Bei’s head before looking over at Yin Shuiling to say, “Your daughter is really so pretty, just like you... Congratulations.”

Yin Shuiling was in a daze, and she did not say a single word.

Yin Muchen was still smiling as he said, “I originally wanted to ask you out for a meal, now... I do not know whether it is convenient to be doing so. Would I...disturb you all, I...”

“Uncle, I do not want to eat. My Mummy said that she was going to bring me to find my Daddy. I don’t want to eat; I want my Daddy.” Little Bei Bei was very frustrated. She has already been in the country for so many days now, but Mummy has yet to bring her to find her Daddy.

The smile on Yin Muchen’s face was frozen and stiff. At this moment, he did not know how to react. A deep emptiness came from the depths of his heart that drowned his entire being. There was no more colour in his world.

He lowered his gaze down to look at Little Bei Bei as he said, “Oh okay, then Uncle...will not disturb you guys. Uncle...should get going.”

He turned around and left.

The man’s back profile slowly disappeared from Yin Shuiling’s line of sight. Yin Shuiling looked on as the rays of sunshine streamed from the window, and it made the shadow of the man’s back profile very very long. She’d spent almost twenty years with this man. She saw him looking handsome and mesmerizing when he was 25 years old. She saw him looking matured and charismatic when she was 31 years old, and now, he was 37 years old as he gave her a cold and lonely back profile. She even saw that few seconds where he slouched his back as he left with his overly tall back, and it seemed that...he was no longer young anymore.

Yin Shuiling felt her eyes turn wet. “Older Brother...” she murmured out softly.

At this moment, Little Bei Bei stepped forward to tug on the hem of Yin Shuiling’s skirt as she said, “Mummy, Uncle left. You seem to be very upset. Why are you unhappy?” As she spoke, Little Bei Bei stepped forward to hug Yin Shuiling’s leg. She blinked with her large grape-like eyes as she exclaimed, “Could Uncle be my Daddy? This is way too great, Mummy. Uncle is tall and handsome. He even carried me before. If Uncle is my Daddy, I would be very happy.”

Yin Shuiling stretched her hand out to touch Little Bei Bei’s soft hair as she asked, “Bei Bei, do you like this Uncle?”

“I like him.”

“Why do you like him?”

“Hmm... I am also unable to explain why. I just like him, just like why I like Mummy, I like him very very much.”

Yin Shuiling broke out into laughter when she saw Little Bei Bei’s serious expression. She realized that Little Bei Bei was really very caring. She would always say sweet things to make her happy, or maybe it was because Little Bei Bei’s intelligence was not as high as Little Bao Bao, but Little Bei Bei definitely had higher EQ than him.

They all said that having a daughter was akin to having a small caring blanket. Yin Shuiling bent down to hug Little Bei Bei.

Little Bei Bei liked Yin Muchen. Maybe this was the natural kind of chemistry that they had as father and daughter.

She did not want to prevent father and daughter from recognizing one another. Yin Muchen was Bao Bao and Bei Bei’s biological father. No one could change this fact. Yin Muchen had the right to be a father. Bao Bao and Bei Bei should also have the right to enjoy paternal love, but this pair of fraternal twins was what she...secretly got pregnant with. She did not know how to explain this.

...

At SK, Ma Rui was handling work matters, and at this moment, a handsome and lanky figure appeared before him. He raised his head up to have a look. His President was back.

Ma Rui was alarmed. Didn’t President have an appointment?

“President...”

Yin Muchen did not have an expression on his face. He did not look at Ma Rui; he went directly into his office.

Ma Rui: “...” President’s temper is not normal.

Ma Rui finished his work, and he had a look at his wrist. It was almost time for lunch now. He stood up. Knock, knock. He knocked on the President’s door.

“Come in.”

That familiar deep voice rang out from inside, and he opened the door and went in.

Yin Muchen did not sit down on the chair. He took a cherished bottle of red wine as he sat down on the sofa. He opened the bottle of red wine, and he poured the red wine into the wine glass.

“President, it is time for lunch now. What do you want to eat today? I will ask the chef to prepare it.” Ma Rui asked him for his orders.

Yin Muchen did not reply to him. He leaned back on the sofa and used his right hand to hold and shake the glass. He tugged on the corners of his lips up, It seemed that he was smiling yet not at the same time. He was sighing just as if he were speaking to Ma Rui, but it also seemed that he was talking to himself as he said, “She came back yesterday. I was so so happy.”

Ma Rui listened to him and was extremely confused as he said, “President, she is referring to?”

Yin Muchen glanced over at Ma Rui before he raised his head up and downed the entire glass of red wine. Ma Rui was his new secretary. He did not know; he did not know anything.

Everyone who knew was gone, and there were no one from the past by his side.

Over the past three years, he has not spoken to anyone. He hasn’t vented. Actually, he did not need to. He did not need all of that at all, but now, he had so many things that he wanted to say. He’d originally prepared to tell the woman all this. That woman seemed as if she didn’t need them anymore, but he wanted to say it, and he was afraid that he would die if he kept it inside.

He poured more red wine into his glass, Yin Muchen continued, “Three years ago, when she left, although we did not promise each other, I thought she only needed time. I gave her time, the moment time was up, she would return back to my side and would make up with me.

“For the past three years, I have always been waiting for her. I got rid of that Ah Fan, I kicked both father and daughter of the Xiao family out of the country, and I settled every problem and gave the world some peace. I dreamt of a day where she would come back to the country and dash into my embrace. I thought that...she thought the same way.

“But I saw her daughter today, that Little Bei Bei. I had met her before in France. She is really so cute, and she came out of the same mould that her mother did, especially when Little Bei Bei cried...” Yin Muchen’s mind went back to the day by the beach in France. There was a smile on the corners of his lips as he said, “She could make a person’s heart go soft when she cried... When Little Bei Bei raised three fingers up, I...was overjoyed. I thought, I actually thought that Little Bei Bei was my daughter, and at that moment, I was filled with hope, but Little Bei Bei was not...

“Little Bei Bei said that she wanted to go and search for her Daddy. I suddenly realized something. She was a Mummy now. She has her own family now... When she was together with me, she did not have anything or anyone to rely on, and now that she has left me, she has everything now...

“I did not dare to ask her if she was married or not, I did not dare to ask her who Little Bei Bei’s father was, I did not even dare to ask her, Shuiling, have you forgotten Older Brother already? You being like that, how would Older Brother live in the future? I did not dare to ask anything. I was afraid that anything I asked would be selfish. I was afraid that I would ask something and she would throw me into the deep end of the valley, and I felt that I was unable to take it anymore.”

Yin Muchen leaned his head back against the back of the sofa. He gently closed his eyes and mockingly laughed at himself as he said, “I, right now, do not have anything anymore. Everything that I wanted, I lost. I know that I am...reaping whatever I have sown. Over the endless past three years, I did not know that I’d already made it here. Any dream that had her inside, when I woke up, I would touch the coldness by the side of the bed. I felt that I was unable to take it anymore. I would think of her every day. I would think of the child that we once had, and in that half year after she left, I would hear the sound of the child crying in my dreams, and there was someone who called me Father...”

His eyes were wet, and he swallowed his saliva. Two streams of tears flowed out from the corners of his eyes.

He slowly curled the corners of his lips up. That night, he was just like that as he smiled and cried while he woke up from his dream.

Ma Rui stood in a corner and looked at him. When he had a clear look at the moisture on the corners of the man’s eyes, his entire being felt as if he’d been struck by lightning, and he was totally lost. President.. was crying?

Oh, my god!

Ma Rui’s legs went soft.

Who was that woman?

Who was the “She” that President was talking about?

Ma Rui was really so curious. Who was that woman that could put his President, this extremely powerful person, this man who was able to call for rain and wind in the corporate world, feel such pain?

Ma Rui took a deep breath of air. He decided to ignore his curiosity. As a secretary, he could not be curious.

No matter what, he had no right to know about President’s private matters.

Yin Muchen, who was seated on the sofa, closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. Ma Rui took a blanket and stepped forward before placing it on his belly, and he allowed him to have a good nap.

There was not a single sound inside President’s office for the entire afternoon. Ma Rui held onto dinner as he went inside. Yin Muchen still maintained the same posture as he leaned back in the sofa and slept. Ma Rui switched off the lights and left work.

...

The next morning, Ma Rui arrived at the office and went into the office once again. The meal tray on the coffee table was untouched. Yin Muchen had not eaten. The tall man with long legs was laying down on the sofa, and he was still sleeping.

Ma Rui stepped forward, he bent his waist down and called him softly, “President, President...”

Yin Muchen did not stir.

Ma Rui froze for a second. President was normally a light sleeper. Why did he call him twice today and still not have any reaction?

Ma Rui’s gaze went over to the coffee table, and there was a bottle of sleeping pills on the coffee table.

Ma Rui was alarmed. He raised his voice and called out, “President, President...” He was about to take his phone out to make a call.

At this moment, the man on the sofa moved, and Yin Muchen slowly opened his eyes. He’d slept for the entire day yesterday, and he did not feel restored. More than anything, his eyes were super bloodshot.

The large rock inside Ma Rui’s heart was gone. He thought that his President...had gone over to the other side in his sleep!

Yin Muchen lifted the blanket placed on his stomach and sat up slowly. Because his head hurt, he used his hand to support his chin before glancing over at Ma Rui. “What time is it right now?”

“President, it is eight in the morning.” As he spoke, Ma Rui continued, “President, if you continue to take sleeping pills like this, you’ll have health issues sooner or later. The doctor had mentioned this a long time ago. You also have not gone over to Doctor Xia for therapy recently. Your health is important. Do you need me to book an appointment with Doctor Xia in the afternoon?”

Yin Muchen stood up, and he raised his eyebrows up and said, “It’s up to you.”

He raised his feet and headed over to the relaxation room as he said, “I think I have to go over to the department store for a meeting today. I will head there after the meeting.”

“Okay,” Ma Rui agreed.

...

Yin Shuiling brought Little Bei Bei to go shopping in the department store. Little Bei Bei picked a cute, soft Kitty and squeezed it in her embrace. She was just like her Mummy. Both of them liked Hello Kitty.
