My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early - Chapter 389
Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Qin Keqin, I’ll show you how well I take care of myself!
Translator: 549690339
Yin Qin left the Milky Way.
After being ridiculed by Weng Cheng, he didn’t retort or react impulsively for the first time; he just left.
Despite his defeat, that was the truth.
He really blew the great hand he was dealt.
He returned to the hospital.
In the ward, Luo Xiaolang had just come back from delivering milk to her son. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she saw Yin Qin return. He looked drained and laid down on the adjacent bed without uttering a word, covering himself with a blanket and falling asleep straight away.
Luo Xiaolang also remained silent, not questioning what had happened to him overnight, or why he hadn’t returned home.
For her, all she wanted was to live her own life, unbothered about managing others’ lives.
The ward remained perfectly quiet.
Qin Keqin appeared in the ward.
She turned her head and saw Luo Xiaolang sitting on the bed, engrossed in her phone.
Furrowing her brows, she hastily reprimanded Luo Xiaolang, “Xiaolang, don’t spend too much time on your phone, it’s not good for your eyes.”
Luo Xiaolang obediently nodded.
Qin Keqin then turned her gaze towards Yin Qin, who was wrapped up like a chrysalis.
She couldn’t help but to explode with anger!
This morning’s trending news made her want to kill Yin Qin.
She’s in such a mess now because she meddled in his affairs.
Li Wenjun insisted that Yin Qin and Ji Baixing were having an affair, claiming that Yin Qin was retaliating against him maliciously. Now, everyone in the country vilifies Yin Qin and Ji Baixing as an immoral pair.
She couldn’t understand why Ji Baixing could make Yin Qin so miserable!
She didn’t have any strong feelings about Ji Baixing before, even though he had seriously hurt Yin Qin. But now she was truly becoming dissatisfied with Ji Baixing, feeling that it takes two to tango.
She went up to Yin Qin and yanked open his blanket.
Yin Qin clung to it tightly.
Qin Keqin forced it open.
Yin Qin curled up into a ball.
Her face turned sour, “What good will running away do?! You crumble when faced with difficulty, are you even a man?!”
“I feel like such a failure.”
“It’s about time you realized how foolish you’ve been.”
“Mom!” Yin Qin sprang up from the bed, his eyes reddened, “Doesn’t it hurt you to speak to your son this way? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll jump off this building?”
“Then jump and show me.”
“I knew I wasn’t your biological child! My dad was right, I’m not your own.”
Qin Keqin rolled her eyes.
Yin Qin continued, “Now the company has been usurped by my aunt’s family, and my dad has nothing anymore! I truly am a failure!”
“What do you mean?” Qin Keqin was taken aback.
“Mom, please be kinder to Dad from now on. He’s been usurped by my aunt’s family. Even though he’s still the largest shareholder and chairman of the Milky Way, the power has been taken away from him. All the decisions regarding the Milky Way are now being made by my aunt’s family! Can you imagine how much it hurts his pride to be pulled down from his position? Mom, please don’t be so cold to him.”
“That’s his business, it has nothing to do with how I treat him.” Qin Keqin said coldly, “Instead, I want you to buck up! You were just outsmarted by Li Wenjun, is there any need to look as if you’re at death’s door?”
Yin Qin still felt miserable.
“If you keep up with this attitude, nobody can help you!” Qin Keqin said sternly, “Think about how to rectify this situation.”
“I can’t think of anything. The media are now convinced that I’ve had an affair with Ji Baixing.”
“You’re so foolish!” Qin Keqin said angrily, “When Ji Baixing was kidnapped, you risked everyone’s lives to save her, so it’s only natural for anyone to believe that you’re secretly involved with her. They even think that the child Ji Baixing miscarried was yours. Who would risk their wife and child to save someone unimportant? And also…”
After saying this, Qin Keqin slapped Yin Qin’s head.
Yin Qin held his head in his hands, feeling even more aggrieved.
He was so distressed that he felt like dying, and yet his mother was still treating him this way.
Qin Keqin spoke harshly, “Where were you last night?! Huh? Did you spend the night at Ji Baixing’s place? This morning, you were taken from Ji Baixing’s house by the police, and the journalists got a full view of this. In such a critical time, don’t you realize how foolish you’re behaving? Are you just trying to give them evidence of your affair with Ji Baixing?!”
“How would I know that the Milky Way has already been usurped by my aunt? I thought my dad was still in control. I didn’t anticipate that the journalists from the Milky Way would be overjoyed to get a hold of my damning evidence just to spice up their reports and to discredit me!”
“No matter what happens to the Milky Way, at a time when Ji Baixing needs care and comfort most, you can’t intervene! Don’t forget that you’re soon to be married to Xiaolang. What you’re doing is akin to infidelity!” Qin Keqin said, enunciating each word sternly.
Luo Xiaolang, lying beside them, turned her head to look over.
She understood it quite well, having also seen the news reports claiming that Yin Qin and Ji Baixing had reconciled.
If they’re happy, then so be it.
She didn’t have to marry even if she could.
“Mom, don’t you trust your son? I genuinely have no inappropriate thoughts towards Ji Baixing at this moment. I intend to aid her as a friend…”
“Does she not have any friends? Does she not have a family? Why do you, as an outsider, have to be so involved with her?!”
“I…” Yin Qin was speechless.
Qin Keqin did not want to pressure him further, “From now on, no matter what happens to Ji Baixing, you better stay by Xiaolang’s side. If I find out you’ve rushed over to Ji Baixing again, I really will disown you as my son!”
Yin Qin did not respond.
Qin Keqin was rarely verbose with him, and she turned to walk towards Luo Xiaolang.
Her expression immediately changed, becoming very gentle.
Luo Xiaolang smiled lightly at Qin Keqin.
Qin Keqin asked, “How is your health today? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
“I’ve recovered.” Luo Xiaolang replied.
“That’s good.” As Qin Keqin poured out the nutritious soup she had brought from home, she said, “Xiaolang, Yin Qin can sometimes be quite immature, and he can be overly driven by emotions. If you are uncomfortable with anything, directly voice it out. Don’t keep everything in your heart, you’re even allowed to beat him up if needed.”
Luo Xiaolang chuckled slightly.
She genuinely held a deep affection for Qin Keqin.
Without any biological parents, despite her master’s kindness, she had never felt this warmth, this comfort deep within.
News alleging an affair between Yin Qin and Ji Baixing, first reported by Li Wenjun, was causing a stir in Jin City.
Everyone believed Li Wenjun because he was seen as the underdog.
Most people felt sympathy for the underdog.
Having moved to her old apartment, Ji Baixing had seen the news too.
Reading words that made her wish to kill Li Wenjun, she recognized how disgusting he was, doing unspeakable things for his own honor. She couldn’t believe he would stir up trouble and stoop this low to achieve his aims. Just yesterday, he had a guilty expression, but today, his face changed entirely.
She gritted her teeth and picked up the phone.
He didn’t pick up the call at first.
Ji Baixing called several times in a row.
Finally, he answered.
“Li Wenjun, I never imagined you could be such a person! What did I ever see in you? Why did I degrade myself by spending time with someone like you, waiting for you for years, enduring public humiliation and fending off those who betrayed me for you!” Ji Baixing truly felt like killing him at that moment.
Li Wenjun was silent for a few seconds before speaking, “Ji Baixing, don’t blame me for being ruthless. This is all your doing. Yin Ying is right, if you weren’t so aloof and self-righteous, I wouldn’t have turned out like this! Many times, I urged you to get along with your family, but you, for your so-called pride, avoided all contact with them, refusing to accept their help. If you had let your family support me just a little, things wouldn’t have been like this!”
“Enough! Did you date me for my family background?”
“Yes!” Li Wenjun gave a straight answer, “Not just now but also when we first started going out. Back then, the feeling wasn’t as strong. We thought love could be our bread and butter, but not anymore! Now, it’s honor, applause, and a woman who can aid my development that I need!”
“Li Wenjun, you disgust me utterly!”
“Then feel disgusted!” Li Wenjun seemed not to care at all.
Although he was fond of Ji Baixing, when faced with reality, he could let go without hesitation.
Having come this far, he understood it very well.
There was no future for him and Ji Baixing. So why should he keep pretending to accommodate her!
Ji Baixing was trembling with restraint.
She had never imagined she would encounter such a vile man in her life, a man she would regret knowing not just for this lifetime but for several more!
“Ji Baixing, to be honest, we are not on the same social level. No matter how much you scorn the upper class, you hail from it. You are accustomed to the lifestyle of the upper class. You can easily get what others cannot even touch. You maintain your aloof demeanor with everyone, demonstrating your pride and arrogance. You know, you’ve put a lot of pressure on me! Every time there’s a social gathering, you always act superior. You don’t seek to please anyone. Do you know how much that restricts me? I have to limit my own interactions when you’re around. I can’t do your offhand dismissiveness!”
“So, you are what you are now, all because of me?!” Ji Baixing retorted, asking him fiercely.
“It’s not completely unrelated! I admit that I liked you, but now that we’re broken up, I feel relieved! Ji Baixing, a woman like you is not suitable for a relationship or marriage. Since you remain indifferent about everything, why don’t you stay alone for the rest of your life? You expect everyone to accommodate you in everything, you want everyone to share your indifference towards money and honor. You should live alone! Honestly, being with anyone would just cause them harm. Being with you, anyone would feel oppressed and unhappy!” Li Wenjun seemed agitated, venting his frustrations. “Frankly, women like you are considered the worst kind to us men! Fun for a fling, but to live with…unless the man is nuts!”
“Li Wenjun!” Ji Baixing screamed.
Profoundly affected by Li Wenjun’s words, she lost her composure completely and was shaking uncontrollably.
However, Li Wenjun was very calm, speaking so aloofly, totally oblivious to Ji Baixing’s emotions, “Consider this a lesson for you. If you really want a man to genuinely like you and marry you, you should change your presumptuous temperament and your decent-just-for-the-sake-of-being-decent way of expressing yourself. Really, no one thinks you are noble because you can remain untainted by the filth around you. They’ll just think you’re groaning without being ill! Right, I don’t think Yin Qin really likes you that much, at most… because he never had you, he has this bright moon in his heart that he can’t erase away. If he’s really with you, he’ll probably be bored within a few days…”
“Clatter!” Ji Baixing threw her phone away.
Her entire body was trembling.
Having met Li Wenjun, this man!
When the truth finally unfolded, it was incredibly nauseating, making her feel like she wanted to vomit!
She gritted her teeth in anger, shivering from head to toe.
She stared at her phone, now in pieces on the floor, and in that moment, she truly felt as if she had been torn to shreds. She was in such pain, she wished she were dead!
She one day, one day also will be driven to such a state!
Really, it touched her soft spot, making her want to vent yet being unable to do so.
All these humiliations were brought upon herself, all of them were her own doing!
Milky Way.
Yin Bin sat in his office.
His emotions gradually regained control.
After all these years in business, he developed a calm and composed attitude.
He made a call.
The call went through on the other end, “Uncle Yin.”
“Mm,” Yin Bin responded, “Currently, my sister has controlled the entire Milky Way, and my power has been hollowed out.”
“This was expected,” Ji Baijian spoke frankly, “Uncle Yin, I hope you can remain calm. Once I’ve finished dealing with my side of things, I assure you I’ll do everything I can to help you with your sister’s situation.”
“I know,” Yin Bin replied, “I just didn’t expect that they could buy off all the directors. This really took me by surprise.”
He felt somewhat cold at that moment.
After leading the entire Milky Way to where it is now, these people just decided to leave on a whim!
“Uncle Yin, don’t worry too much. It’s not that your sister is particularly capable, but that the Commercial Management establishment is pressuring them behind the scenes. After all, we, the Consortium Group, are ultimately restricted by the Commercial Management body. If someone from Commercial Management steps up, the other directors naturally follow the wind.”
“Mm,” Yin Bin figured it out, he said, “Don’t worry, I will fulfill what I promised you, you can focus on your own issues.”
“Thank you, Uncle Yin,” Ji Baijian reassured him again.
Yin Bin hung up the phone.
Like so.
He really was going to let the greater good triumph over family loyalties!
His eyes flickered as he looked at the message on his phone screen.
It was sent by Lin Ximeng.
She said, “Yin Bin, I’ll be waiting for you at home at 6 o’clock tonight. Be there or be square.”
Yin Bin picked up the phone and looked at the location she sent.
This time, he would properly see Lin Ximeng off. In this life, he would no longer feel guilty for her.
He waited until the afternoon and left right on time at the end of the workday.
The events from today’s board meeting had already spread throughout the company in an instant. Everyone looked at him strangely, but no one dared to discuss anything.
Yin Bin stepped into his car under everyone’s gaze.
In this lifetime, he had never felt so suffocated.
Even though he knew he was being set up, thinking that all of this was caused by Yin Qin and his son’s foolishness, he couldn’t help but become incredibly furious.
His face was stern as he made his way to Lin Ximeng’s place.
He gave the driver a few instructions before entering the residential area and heading for Lin Ximeng’s apartment.
Knocking on the door.
There Lin Ximeng stood, wearing a very comfortable outfit, looking very serious, proper, and warmly greeting him, she was all smiles, “You’re here, Yin Bin. I just have one last dish to prepare. Please come in.”
As she spoke, she passed him a pair of men’s slippers to put on.
Once Yin Bin had changed his shoes, Lin Ximeng bent down to place his black leather shoes inside the cabinet.
Yin Bin watched Lin Ximeng’s every move.
At that moment he wondered when was Qin Keqin going to do such things for him, when after a tiring day at work, she could treat him so thoughtfully and tenderly.
He couldn’t help but think of Qin Keqin’s face…
He must be overthinking it.
Qin Keqin wouldn’t even give him a glance.
He followed Lin Ximeng into her home.
The home was warm and inviting. The house wasn’t large, but upon entering, you could immediately feel the warmth of the home. The room was also very neat and tidy.
Lin Ximeng asked him to wait on the sofa while she made some preparations. She turned on the TV and placed the remote control in his hand, allowing him to choose a channel.
Yin Bin just watched Lin Ximeng’s every move.
He watched as she settled him in and moved into the open kitchen, wrapping a pink apron around herself, and began to prepare dinner with great care.
Yin Bin kept watching Lin Ximeng, admiring her gentle and virtuous demeanor.
As expected.
Even a man, a very powerful man, hopes for the company of a woman like this in quiet moments.
He suddenly realized that he had lost a lot in his life.
Lin Ximeng could feel Yin Bin’s gaze, which had been fixed on her since the moment he entered the door.
She knew that a man like Yin Bin, who has seen many coquettish women, has lacked a woman who can comfort him when he’s tired.
That’s something Qin Keqin couldn’t provide. Qin Keqin and Yin Bin have always been at odds as a couple. They were like strangers under the same roof. Yin Bin had probably never experienced the warmth of a woman.
She felt a little triumphant inside.
She continued cooking without showing any emotion, focusing intensely on her task.
The final dish of stir-fried pork with green peppers was done.
Lin Ximeng called out warmly, “Yin Bin, come for dinner.”
It felt as if they had been living together for a long time.
Yin Bin put down the remote control and got up.
Lin Ximeng served the dishes for Yin Bin and said, “I’m not sure what you like, so I just prepared some home-cooked dishes that I’m good at making. See if they suit your taste.”
Yin Bin smiled at her, “I didn’t realize you could cook.”
“I’ve been abroad for many years, and I’m not used to western food, so I resort to making some home-cooked dishes.” said Lin Ximeng, “But my cooking is not the best, so don’t have high expectations.”
Yin Bin picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of braised beef, and put it in his mouth.
Lin Ximeng looked at him expectantly.
Yin Bin chewed it and said, “It tastes good, it suits my palate.”
Lin Ximeng let out a sigh of relief, “I was afraid you wouldn’t like it. If you do, please eat more.”
With that, she served Yin Bin a lot of food.
Yin Bin also urged her to eat more.
They ate together, creating a homey feeling.
Lin Ximeng suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, “My uncle sent a bottle of homemade wine. It’s brewed from their own grains. Would you like to try some? I’ll drink a little with you.”
“Sure.” Yin Bin agreed.
Lin Ximeng got up and poured a glass of wine for Yin Bin and one for herself.
Lin Ximeng raised her glass, “Yin Bin, let’s drink. Let’s see how rich this wine is.”
Yin Bin clinked glasses with Lin Ximeng and took a sip.
He said, “It’s good, the flavor is pleasant.”
Lin Ximeng smiled softly.
The two had a leisurely dinner, drinking some wine, but they stopped at the right moment, not getting drunk.
After dinner, Lin Ximeng cut some fruit and brewed a pot of tea for Yin Bin.
Yin Bin said, “You’ve been busy all day, sit down and rest.”
Lin Ximeng gave a faint smile, “I’m afraid I might not get the chance to have moments like this in the future.”
Yin Bin seemed to be holding back something.
He said, “Maybe we’ll have a chance in the future.”
Lin Ximeng shook her head, “Once I go abroad this time, I might never return. I plucked up a lot of courage to come back this time. Now that I think about it, perhaps we’ve already missed our chance.”
Yin Bin didn’t speak, his silence was akin to a passive acknowledgment.
Lin Ximeng felt a bit of a sour taste in her heart.
So even if she’s taken things to this level today, this is the final outcome!
She chuckled slightly, her laugh somewhat bitter.
“Yin Bin,” Lin Ximeng called out to him.
“Hmm?”
“Have you thought about me over these years?” Lin Ximeng suddenly asked.
Yin Bin was taken aback.
It’s not that he hadn’t thought about her, but he hadn’t thought deeply nor did he expect there to be any connection between them again.
Lin Ximeng took the initiative to hold Yin Bin’s hand.
His fingers twitched slightly at that moment, but he didn’t push her hand away.
“Actually, I’ve been thinking about you all these years. I miss that one time we had, even though it was against ethics and morality, it kept me going all these years. I know my request might be a bit too much, but I hope that you can leave me with a beautiful night tonight. I don’t expect any responsibility from you, I will just walk away like I did before. All I want, all I wish is not to have so many regrets in my life…”
Lin Ximeng looked at him deeply, with a hint of delicacy and expectation, appearing so pitiful and irresistible.
Yin Bin had a slight lump in his throat.
Actually… oftentimes men are easily seduced.
It might be a coquettish glance, a seductive body, or a hint of pity in the heart; in short, there are many, many ways to be seduced.
And in this aspect, men often pay too little a price, hence men tend to indulge themselves.
He admitted it.
He also had a tinge of desire to let loose.
Why should he always be the one losing to Qin Keqin? Why did he have to suppress his emotions because of her? Why couldn’t he enjoy other warmths…
He found many excuses and reasons for himself, but in the end…
He felt a bit bitter inside.
He found that he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
He just couldn’t go on doing these things behind Qin Keqin’s back.
So, he pushed Lin Ximeng’s hand away.
At that moment, Lin Ximeng was totally shattered, no matter how long she had endured, it was a bitter pill to swallow.
She could unmistakably feel Yin Bin’s desire for her. Not in the romantic sense, but at least a longing for a certain lifestyle. Yet at this moment, he still unfeelingly rejected her.
Yin Bin took out a card from his jacket pocket, and said, “This is the most I can give you. Try to live a better life overseas and find someone to marry. If you still want to have kids, you might even be able to try. I did wrong you back in the day, but what’s done is done, I can’t do anything about it now. I can only give you what I can to ensure you won’t have to worry about livelihood.”
Lin Ximeng just looked at Yin Bin.
Watching this man, still employing the same method as before to dismiss her.
Yin Bin didn’t say anything else, he placed the card in Lin Ximeng’s hand, “Thank you for the dinner tonight, it was good, and I had fun. I might not have time to see you off when you leave, I wish you a safe journey in advance.”
With that, he stood up, ready to leave.
Yin Bin walked over to the door, bending down to change his shoes.
At that moment, Lin Ximeng hugged him from behind, “Yin Bin, is it really impossible?”
“No,” Yin Bin replied indifferently.
He pried Lin Ximeng’s hands open and brutally pushed her away.
No way.
Now, apart from Qin Keqin, no one else will do!
He knows clearly now where his feelings truly lie?!
Just as he opened the door and was in the moment of leaving firmly, he suddenly felt dizzy.
He staggered to a halt.
The next second, he fell down.
Lin Ximeng caught Yin Bin, allowing him to fall onto her.
She smirked evilly.
Good thing, she had a backup plan.
She had guessed that Yin Bin wouldn’t go along with her, but this time, she was going to succeed, nobody was going to stop her!
It was 8 p.m. when Qin Keqin left the hospital.
Luo Xiaolang’s condition had been improving a lot recently – physically and mentally, so sometimes she came home a bit earlier.
However, when she came home tonight, instead of going straight back to her room, she sat in the living room.
Okay.
She was waiting for Yin Bin.
For the past few days, Yin Bin had been everywhere around her. But today, he suddenly went to the company, and it was already late, and he hadn’t returned yet.
She was definitely not missing him. She heard from Yin Qin that Yin Bin’s authority had been stripped.
Basically, it was her son’s doing, and she felt that she must have a face-to-face talk with Yin Bin about this.
It was her responsibility. She had never tried to dispute that.
So she waited for quite a while.
About around ten o’clock.
She felt she was flirting with the idea.
Yin Bin might not even come home tonight, as she suddenly remembered that he said he was going to bid farewell to Lin Ximeng tonight.
Bidding farewell…
She coldly got up from the couch to go back to her room.
Her phone beeped with a new text message.
As she walked, she opened the text message.
Upon opening it, she saw a picture of Lin Ximeng and Yin Bin lying in bed together.
At times, Qin Keqin was truly annoyed with Lin Ximeng.
What was there to show off about this?!
Being a home wrecker, seducing a married man to cheat, does she think this is something to announce to the world?!
She coldly replied with a few words, “You’re not getting any younger, take it easy.”
Then she put down her phone, walked into her room, and tossed her phone onto the bed before going to take a shower.
She even took a long, massaging bath.
She came out wrapped in a towel and laid on the bed with a face mask on.
As she was lying there leisurely, she seemed to hear some noise in the villa.
Startled, Qin Keqin got off the bed, opened the door and stepped out.
Outside the room, Yin Bin was back. His face was flushed and his clothes were messily draped on him. His driver was helping him stand.
Seeing Qin Keqin, the driver quickly spoke, “Ma’am, Sir seems drunk, I brought him back.”
This soon?!
Qin Keqin’s mind whirled for a moment.
Makes sense.
They’re both getting old after all.
She nodded, “Then take him to his room.”
“Oh.” At the moment the driver prepared to lead Yin Bin away, he hesitated, “Ma’am, it seems Sir may not be only drunk. It’d be great if you could help take care of him, in case anything happens at night and he needs to be taken to the hospital.”
“You look after him,” Qin Keqin straightforwardly stated.
“Well, it can’t be helped. I just received a call from my wife saying our child is sick and I need to rush home…”
“Then you better go, don’t worry, he can’t possibly die from this condition,” Qin Keqin nonchalantly gestured, then turned and walked away.
The driver dumbfoundedly watched Qin Keqin’s cold demeanor.
There were rumors saying that the relationship was poor between Sir and his wife. He didn’t expect it to be this bad.
The wife didn’t seem to care about the husband’s life or death at all!
Helplessly, the driver had to support his boss back to his room alone.
And after a few steps.
Suddenly, as if regaining strength, his boss pushed him away and lunged at Qin Keqin.
Caught off guard, Qin Keqin felt herself suddenly being tightly embraced.
Qin Keqin’s face changed instantly.
“Are you out of your mind, Yin Bin? If you’re drunk, go sleep it off!” Qin Keqin fought back.
Yin Bin was strong, and forcibly pushed Qin Keqin into her room.
Qin Keqin was seething.
“Go throw your drunken tantrum at Lin Ximeng, don’t bring it here!”
“You really think I’m just drunk?” Yin Bin released Qin Keqin, swaying unsteadily, yet still managing to sound threatening.
Qin Keqin looked at him in disgust.
“Fine! I have no dignity left in your eyes anyway. I’ll show you just how ‘drunk’ I am!”
Qin Keqin stared at him coldly.
“Qin Keqin, I’ve been holding back for too long. You say I’m not young anymore and should be careful. Tonight, I’ll show you just how well I’ve maintained myself!”
The next day.
The sun shone brightly.
Yin Bin opened his eyes.
His head was throbbing.
Severe pain.
What on earth had transpired last night!
He shifted his body.
His body felt heavier than usual.
But inexplicably, he felt content.
He turned over.
The moment he turned, he nearly jumped off the bed.
Damn it!
What had he done last night!
He looked at the woman on his bed, still seemingly asleep, lying next to him. He looked down at his own body and then at the mess all over.
The moment he sobered up, Yin Bin hastily put on his clothes, left the room as gently as he could, not wanting to wake Qin Keqin.
However.
The moment he closed the door, Qin Keqin opened her eyes.
Her face was pale, looking terrible.
Thinking back to last night…
She was no longer a young girl, even if she had experienced such things, she would not react overly.
All she did was face everything coldly, thinking about what she should do next.
She got up, wrapped herself with a blanket, and picked up her phone next to her.
She called Lin Ximeng.
The call was quickly answered, “Qin Keqin?”
She sounded surprised, as if not expecting a call from Keqin.
Qin Keqin said, “Let’s meet.”
“Ok.” The voice from the other end agreed.
Qin Keqin left the bed.
Looking at the mess in the room, she gritted her teeth, cleaned herself up, and then left.
At that moment, Yin Bin returned to his room, collapsing onto his bed.
How could he be such a brute!
How could he do this…
Admit it, the smile at the corner of his mouth was clearly relishing the memory.
He tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally getting up to take a bath.
He suddenly realized that he had actually forgotten to take a bath last night!
What a mistake!
He couldn’t let this happen again.
He quickly gave himself a “battle shower”, did his hair, shaved, chose clothes. After fussing about for half the morning, he thought he was looking his best, and only then did he open the bedroom door.
A few servants were cleaning in the vast villa, when they saw him they quickly paid their respects.
He put on a serious face and asked, “Where’s my wife?”
“The lady left early this morning and hasn’t come back yet.”
“Where did she go?” Yin Bin’s face changed instantly.
Straight away thinking she must have gone to the hospital.
The servant shook their head, indicating they didn’t know.
Yin Bin called Yin Qin, “Yin Qin, did your mom come to the hospital today?”
“No, she didn’t. I was wondering about that. She usually would have been here by now.”
“Then where did she go?”
“Dad, you didn’t do something, did you?!” Yin Qin suddenly voiced his suspicion.
His stupid son, utterly useless and as dumb as a pig in everything else, yet was unexpectedly sharp when it came to matters like this.
He cleared his throat, “Don’t worry about what I do, look after yourself. Consider what I told you yesterday!”
After he finished, he abruptly hung up.
Yin Qin was speechless.
Yin Bin put down the phone, feeling very frustrated.
Where did this woman Qin Keqin run off to?!
Was it too much of a shock?!
Thinking of Qin Keqin’s cold face made him feel an array of unpleasant emotions.
Inexplicably, he felt a twinge of guilt as well.
What was he feeling guilty for? They were a married couple, having sex was normal, he had no reason to overthink this.
Right.
That was it.
He sat nervously on the couch, restlessly shifting around as though sitting on pins and needles.
Then he finally saw Qin Keqin return.
Her face was unreadable, she didn’t linger in the living room, but went straight upstairs.
Yin Bin quickly followed, “Qin Keqin.”
Qin Keqin’s body stiffened slightly.
Yin Bin walked in front of her within a few steps, blocking her way.
Qin Keqin looked up at him.
“Where have you been?” Yin Bin’s earlier indignation seemed to dissipate a bit, even though he still maintained his aloof demeanor.
“I went to see Lin Ximeng,” Qin Keqin stated bluntly.
“What did you go to see her for?”
“I wanted to understand your reasons for not divorcing.” Qin Keqin replied coldly.
“Why did you go to Lin Ximeng about our divorce?!” Yin Bin exploded, shouting, “How many times do I have to tell you? I. Won’t. Divorce!”
“So you enjoy waving the banner at home while letting the flags fly outside, feeling accomplished as a man, do you?”
“Qin Keqin!”
“Sorry, but I can’t satisfy you with that,” Qin Keqin was straightforward, “I just went to see Lin Ximeng. I heard you gave her a large sum of money to maintain this kind of relationship with you. I really don’t like Lin Ximeng, but at this moment, I truly pity her! She just likes you, is it necessary to degrade her like this?”
Yin Bin just stared hard at Qin Keqin.
Qin Keqin said, she wasn’t negotiating or seeking his opinion, she declared, “If you are unwilling to divorce peacefully, I will file a lawsuit to terminate our marriage!”
