IP Chapter 67

Incurable Pain | Chapter 67

The sudden appearance of the slender figure of the male G.o.d gave Mu Anping a strong sense of oppression.

After all, Yu Luoyin, from whichever aspect you looked at him, was someone who could instantly attract countless eyes in a crowd.

Standing next to Bai Xunyin like this, with an intimate posture, the nature of their relations.h.i.+p was naturally self-evident, almost making it hard for people to catch their breath.

Whats more, Mu Anping felt somewhat familiar looking at Yu Luoyin.

You

Mr. Mu, long time no see.

Yu Luoyins lips curved with a playful smile, ignoring Bai Xunyins discreet pinch on his waist.

Instead, he casually held her wrist behind his back, squeezing and rubbing it. The movement was almost intimate, but his gaze at Mu Anping showed no relaxation.

Do you have business with my girlfriend?

Mu Anping suddenly felt like his heart had been kicked in the chest.

Although he had been prepared that this man was Bai Xunyins boyfriend, hearing it with his own ears and seeing them standing together so perfectly matched

It was enough to give Mu Anping a certain degree of shock.

His face turned extremely ugly, and it took him a moment to react to what Yu Luoyin had just said.

Mu Anping squinted in confusion.

Do you know me?

Weve met.

Yu Luoyin smiled politely, his eyes sharp. Six years ago, at Third Middle High.

Mu Anping paused, and then remembered who the man in front of him was.

His expression changed drastically.

You you

Bai Xunyin discreetly pulled Yu Luoyins sleeve, indicating for him to shut up, then nodded to Mu Anping.

We have something else to do, so well be leaving.

After all, having known Mu Anping for many years, Bai Xunyin didnt want to join Yu Luoyin in undermining him.

Yu Luoyins gaze dimmed slightly, obediently saying, Okay.

Turns out he still hated her compa.s.sion for others.

Mu Anping felt as if he were frozen in place, watching the two figures walk away, get into the white Bentley, and leave in the dust, a deep sense of despair suddenly surging in his heart.

He knew he had no chance anymore.

If it were someone else, if Bai Xunyin had just been impulsive, Mu Anping still felt he had the compet.i.tive ability.

But the man in front of him was clearly Bai Xunyins boyfriend from six years ago when they were still in high school.

So after so many years, they were still together.

Mu Anping felt that the only thing he could boast about in his relations.h.i.+p with Bai Xunyin was time, but everything else was a mess.

And now, even that time advantage wasnt much stronger than others. What reason did he have not to give up?

Mu Anping smiled somewhat wryly, feeling a sticky sweat on his hands in the hot evening.

He knew he would never again hear Bai Xunyin call him Brother Anping. Once he missed it, it was missed, and trying to make up for it was impossible.

Yinyin

Mu Anping silently said in his heart,

Im sorry.

Do you still remember Mu Anping?

While driving, Yu Luoyin heard the woman in the pa.s.senger seat asking him somewhat surprised.

He grabbed the bag of pistachios that Bai Xunyin was holding and annoyingly said, Im feeling jealous.

Bai Xunyin ?

Before, Yu Luoyin couldnt express himself clearly, so he could only feel jealous silently. But now, he felt that he must not miss this opportunity to be righteous.

He blinked, Havent you noticed?

Whats there to be jealous about?

Unfortunately, Bai Xunyin didnt share his excitement. She just smiled and used her plain hand to push Yu Luoyins face away mercilessly, saying, Drive.

Yu Luoyin smiled silently and obediently continued driving.

Pa.s.sing by a jewelry store halfway, he had an idea. He deliberately turned the steering wheel to circle around in front of the store, then, in Bai Xunyins puzzled eyes, casually asked, Do you want to buy one?

Bai Xunyin was stunned, and her heart skipped a beat at an inappropriate moment. She bit her lip and didnt say anything.

I mean

Seeing her silence, Yu Luoyin subtly tightened his fingers on the steering wheel, then casually explained, Buy one just for fun.

He pretended it meant nothing.

Bai Xunyin came back to her senses and smiled. She brushed a few strands of soft black hair from her cheek and replied calmly, Lets talk about it later.

Yu Luoyin realized he might have been too hasty.

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat awkward for the rest of the journey.

When they arrived downstairs at Bai Xunyins home, Yu Luoyin asked her to go upstairs first, as he had something to get.

Bai Xunyin felt uneasy but didnt ask anything. She just nodded and went upstairs.

Alone in the quiet elevator, she couldnt help but think about the ring Yu Luoyin had mentioned. Although he said it was just for fun, Bai Xunyin could easily read between the lines.

But it was too sudden.

She felt completely unprepared and had been pushed into it by Yu Luoyin in the most unexpected way.

Meeting the parents was unexpected enough, but the ring she currently had no intention of accepting it.

If that guy started acting pitiful and stubborn again, Bai Xunyin sighed helplessly. When the elevator stopped at the fifteenth floor and the door opened, she stepped out.

She waited at the door for five minutes before Yu Luoyin arrived.

As he stepped out of the elevator, he looked as if he wanted to bring half the mall into her home.

Bai Xunyin watched Yu Luoyin carrying all those shopping bags, and her eyes widened in shock.

Why did you buy so many things?

For my future to see your mom. I cant go empty-handed.

Yu Luoyin, who originally wanted to say future mother-in-law, thought it would be better to remain low-key and changed his words halfway through, feeling a bit embarra.s.sed.

Buying some things is only right.

Buying things wasnt wrong, but Yu Luoyin had bought too much!

Bai Xunyin couldnt help but shake her head and block the doorway.

No, you need to take some of these back.

Ive already brought them up. How can I take them back? Yu Luoyin blinked innocently.

Besides, these are all for Auntie. Darling, you have no right to dispose of them.

Bai Xunyin frowned, feeling it was still inappropriate. She simply stood there without saying a word, blocking him from entering.

Yu Luoyin raised an eyebrow, finding the sight of the little girl pouting and throwing a tantrum quite cute. He couldnt help but reach out and tickle her.

So, the two twenty-four or twenty-five-year-olds behaved even more childishly than they did when they were seventeen or eighteen.

Bai Xunyin couldnt help but laugh, and Yu Luoyin pressed her into his arms playfully. The shopping bags in the stairwell were left unattended fortunately, it was a single apartment building, so it didnt bother anyone.

But their roughhousing alarmed the person inside the house, Ji Huiying.

This time, before the future mother-in-law opened the door, Yu Luoyin keenly heard a creak and nonchalantly released Bai Xunyin, straightening up.

As a result, Ji Huiying was also surprised by the pile of things in the stairwell.

Yu Luoyin She smiled awkwardly.

You came, but why did you buy so many things?

At noon, Bai Xunyin had told her that Yu Luoyin was coming over tonight, so Ji Huiying was prepared.

Auntie, this is my first formal visit. Yu Luoyin nodded slightly, humble and polite.

Naturally, I have to bring some gifts.

He didnt know what it was like for other couples to meet the parents for the first time, nor did he have any experience.

But for him, Bai Xunyin was the girl he had chosen, the person he planned to spend his life with.

In both emotion and reason, Yu Luoyin felt that he should express enough respect, to her parents and to her. Whether they really needed or wanted these things, as long as he showed his att.i.tude, it was enough.

Ji Huiying also understood the unwritten rules. Seeing Yu Luoyins eyes, she couldnt help but appreciate him more. She smiled and stepped aside to let the two young people in.

For todays meeting, Ji Huiying naturally attached importance to it. Before Bai Xunyin returned, she had busied herself preparing eight dishes.

Theres a saying in unwritten customs that when meeting the son-in-law for the first time, prepare eight dishes. Ji Huiyings actions clearly showed her respect.

Yu Luoyin felt a bit more settled in his heart.

Taste my moms cooking. Shes very good at it.

After was.h.i.+ng her hands, Bai Xunyin couldnt wait to pick up a piece of ribs and taste the deliciousness that hadnt touched her taste buds for a long time.

Satisfied, she closed her eyes slightly, Back when Ah Mo came to our house, she loved to mooch off our meals.

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of ribs and put it in Yu Luoyins bowl.

Yeah, its been a long time since Ive seen Ah Mo. When she comes over someday, I want to see her.

Ji Huiying smiled and also picked up a chicken wing for Yu Luoyin, her voice soft. Luoyin, eat more.

Yu Luoyin looked at the colorful dishes piled high on the rice tip, feeling slightly stunned.

After a while, he restrained the obscure emotions in his eyes and smiled as he began to eat.

Thank you, Auntie. Its delicious.

It was true that Ji Huiyings cooking was really good. Even if it wasnt that good, as long as it was home-cooked food, it was precious to Yu Luoyin.

From childhood to adulthood, he had almost eaten everything, cuisines from all over the world, countless delicacies but the scarcest thing was the home-cooked food made by family.

Gu Yan couldnt cook, let alone Yu Yuan.

Yu Luoyin had grown up eating meals prepared by nannies. The taste was good, but there was always a feeling of tastelessness when he delicately savored it. Over time, he preferred to eat out.

But Yu Luoyin actually wanted to know what moms cooking tasted like.

Was it really that warm and fragrant, as rumored?

Unexpectedly, he tasted it from Bai Xunyins mom.

Compared to their single-family home, Bai Xunyins house wasnt big, but the colorful dishes piled high on the table, along with the middle-aged womans gentle chatter, gave off an atmosphere of plain, trivial daily life.

There would be no surprises, nor would there be any unexpected storms.

But Yu Luoyin was sure this was the life he wanted. Unattainable, the most difficult to give up.

Auntie.

Yu Luoyin smiled at Ji Huiying, almost childishly.

Thank you.

It was really delicious.
