Chapter 39 If You Don’t Promise Me, I’ll Kiss You

It was already early morning when we came out of KTV after singing.

Although it is the beginning of spring, the nights are still very cold.

On the way home, Xing Yu was surprisingly quiet and drove silently.

Lin Yan discovered that Xing Yu was actually a man of few words most of the time.

If he didn't speak up, the atmosphere between them would be as cold as an ice cellar.

Back at the community, the two walked into the elevator side by side.

As soon as the elevator door closed, I felt an itchy sensation on the palm of my hand.

When she lowered her eyes, she saw Xing Yu hooking her palm with his index finger.

Lin Yan put her hands in her pockets: "What are you doing?"

Xing Yu smiled lazily: "Can you say it again?"

"say what?"

"Happy birthday. Say it again."

Lin Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Didn't I say that just now while we were having dinner?"

Xing Yu bent down, looked directly at her, and said, "They were here just now. I want to hear you talk alone one more time."

Xing Yu's eyes were like hazy moonlight, with a mysterious power that penetrated her heart.

The hands in his pockets clenched involuntarily.

Today is the birthday boy, so let's just give him some slack for once.

"Xing Yu, happy birthday."

As he finished speaking, the elevator arrived.

While waiting for the elevator door to open, Xing Yu suddenly pulled her into his arms and stared at her face.

"Lin Yan, can you spend your birthday with me again next year?"

Lin Yan placed her hands on his chest and said, "Let's talk about next year's affairs next year."

"No." Xing Yu's eyes darkened: "If you don't agree to me, I will kiss you."

"Stop messing around... um..."

The chin was lifted, and the lips were covered with a layer of hot tenderness.

She kept her lips tightly closed, but his tongue easily opened her teeth and gradually devoured her thoughts.

"Xing Yu."

A deep voice suddenly sounded outside the elevator, like a basin of cold water that extinguished the raging fire in the elevator.

Xing Yu let her go, as if he had recognized who was coming.

So I didn't turn around to look at him.

Instead, he calmly took her hand and walked out of the elevator.

But Lin Yan's pupils kept shrinking, and a hint of surprise and shock suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She recognized the middle-aged man in front of her who was wearing a suit, had a serious face and a tall stature.

The last time I attended the wedding of Song Yanzheng and Xing Yingxue.

He went on stage to speak as the girl's father, so she clearly remembered that this man was Xing Yingxue's father.

Why... did he come to find Xing Yu?

How do he and Xing Yu know each other?

Xing Yu patted the back of her head, instantly bringing her back to her senses.

Xing Yu's nonchalant voice rang beside her ear: "Go home and sleep first, I will explain to you."

Lin Yan didn't ask too much, but when she passed by the middle-aged man, she could clearly feel the man's stern aura and the disgust in his eyes.

As soon as Lin Yan left, Xing Zhonghua questioned Xing Yu with his usual temper.

"Who is this woman?"

Xing Yu didn't respond. He took out the key, opened the door and walked into the house.

Xing Zhonghua walked into the room with a sullen face and closed the door behind him.

The loud noise of the door slamming seemed to vent his anger.

"Xing Yu, who is that woman? Why is she living across from you?"

Xing Yu sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his unfathomable gaze like a net.

"Does it have anything to do with you, Mr. Xing?"

Xing Zhonghua stood in front of him with a sullen look, looking down at him.

"Xing Yu, I remind you that I have no right to interfere with your messing around now, but don't forget that you are engaged. Don't overdo it!"

"Play?" Xing Yu's eyes were cold, and he pursed his lips: "Do you think it looks like it?"

"Heh." Xing Zhonghua said sharply, "I'm telling you, since your last name is Xing and you enjoy everything the Xing family gives you, you have to obey me in everything! You have a stubborn temper now, don't you? I wonder how many more years you can still run wild out there!"

"Xing Zhonghua." Xing Yu's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

"What do I enjoy about the Xing family? Do I enjoy your beatings, scoldings, and slanders against me? Or do I enjoy you letting Xing Mo try to kill me time and time again? Or do I enjoy the fact that you have always hated the existence of an illegitimate child like me for so many years?"

"If Grandpa hadn't protected me, if Xing Mo hadn't been paralyzed, if I hadn't been useful to you now, you would have wanted me to die out there a long time ago, right?"

Xing Zhonghua's lips turned pale and his face looked extremely ugly. He tried his best to suppress his heaving chest.

After forcing himself to calm down for a while, he spoke.

"Xing Yu, since it's your birthday today, I won't argue with you. Your grandfather wanted to come to the county to celebrate your birthday with you, but due to health reasons, he couldn't take the plane, so he asked me to come and see you."

Xing Yu chuckled, "In all the years I've been at the Xing family, you've never celebrated my birthday, let alone had a bite of birthday cake. Your hypocritical attitude is truly disgusting."

"Ungrateful bastard! What's your attitude? You're such a heartless wretch! If you could be half as worry-free as Ah Mo, I'd be grateful to my ancestors!"

There was a layer of gloom in Xing Yu's eyes, and there was a gloom hidden deep in his eyes.

"Xing Mo is your precious son, and I'm just the illegitimate child of a bar dancer. It's not worth it for you to come all the way to see me. So leave quickly, I'm also very upset."

"Xing Yu!" Xing Zhonghua shouted angrily, "Can't you just lower your stance and talk to me nicely? I stood at the door waiting for you for hours just to see you. Don't I owe you that?"

"Yeah." Xing Yu's pupils were so deep that you couldn't see the bottom at a glance: "You not only owe me, but also my mother."

"I owe your mother? Do you know how much of an impact your mother's suicide by jumping off a building at the Xing family caused to our family? Xing's stock plummeted! Not only did everyone call me a scumbag and a heartless person, but I also endured years of online bullying! She deserved her death!"

"Xing Zhonghua." Xing Yu suddenly stood up, walked around the table and stood in front of Xing Zhonghua. A dark red fire ignited in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke every word: "Don't you know why my mother jumped to her death?"

Xing Zhonghua avoided Xing Yu's sinister gaze and waved his hand guiltily: "Alright! Since you don't like me so much, I'm leaving! I'll just pretend that I never gave birth to this evil creature like you!"

Xing Zhonghua went downstairs with a feeling of rage.

As soon as I walked out of the community, a cold female voice sounded behind me.

"Hello, please stay."

Xing Zhonghua turned around and found that it was the girl who had just been with Xing Yu.

"Is there something?" Xing Zhonghua understood what these country girls were thinking and spoke directly to them.

"I think I need to remind you first that no matter how you try to please me, it's useless. The Xing family's door is not for a woman of your status to enter. You can have fun with Xing Yu, but I'm putting it this way: he's engaged and won't marry you."

Lin Yan smiled faintly, and the curve of her mouth gradually turned into sarcasm.

After she returned home, she felt increasingly strange and uneasy about the relationship between Xing Yu and Xing Zhonghua.

So, she chose to eavesdrop in an unkind way.

The result also shocked her.

They are actually father and son.

Xing Yu turned out to be the eldest son of the Xing family.

But before she could fully comprehend his identity, she was surprised to learn that Xing Yu was an unwelcome illegitimate child!

Her first reaction was nothing else.

There is only empathetic grief.

Xing Yu, turns out to be just like her...

Like her, he had never been loved by his family, had lived under harsh criticism and beatings since childhood, and had walked alone in the dark night with a biting cold wind.

She understands that feeling of powerlessness better than anyone else...

"You misunderstood. I just wanted to say something to you." Lin Yan said calmly, her voice tinged with sneer, "Father is a great and sacred title. But you have not only tarnished it, but you are also unworthy of it."

Xing Zhonghua frowned, not expecting Lin Yan to speak so arrogantly to him.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?"

"It has nothing to do with me even if you are the Jade Emperor." When Lin Yan saw him, she thought of Zhou Jing and continued to criticize him without restraint.

"Xing Yu is doing well now. You don't need to come out like a maggot to annoy him. Wouldn't it be better for you to just stay in Jingbei and mess with your shit?"
