Chapter 211 So Lonely

Lin Yi'an finished his work very late. He hadn't even eaten lunch. Today, apart from breakfast, he ate bread that Mo Ziyuan had brought him.

Looking at the shriveled bread on the table, he was surprised to find that after working for so long, he felt a bit dizzy and lightheaded.

After going downstairs, Lin Yi'an rubbed his neck and asked the maid beside him.

"Why is no one here? Is no one coming down for dinner?"

The servant answered respectfully.

"Young Master Shi went out in the afternoon. Our young master and young lady are still resting in their room. Aunt Zhang told us that we just need to leave some food for them."

Our family? Yi Luo should be from his family, right? As expected of a servant of the Mo family, so domineering.

Lin Yi'an wanted to go upstairs to see his younger sister, but suddenly remembered what happened that morning. His sister was probably still sleeping. He decided to call her for dinner later.

He ate his meal alone at the table, thinking about how much his life had changed since his sister came to visit.

He used to be out drinking at this time, but now he's sitting at home eating. However, his sister never used to accompany him when he ate.

Looking at the huge living room, he felt a little bored. Shi Jingsheng had probably gone out to play, so he wouldn't feel as lonely as he did now.

Ziyuan also had someone with him, but he didn't expect it to be his own baby. He was very sad. Yiluo should have been with him.

It was already dark outside, and through the French windows, all that could be seen was the light from the streetlights in the courtyard.

Tsk, even the food in front of him doesn't seem so appetizing anymore. He'd better go upstairs and stay in his room.

His room also had a huge floor-to-ceiling window. The man entered the room without even turning on the lights. Moonlight streamed in through the glass window, and Lin Yi'an hadn't felt this lonely in a long time.

Thinking of his younger sister reminded him of what had happened during the day. He knew Mo Ziyuan's character all too well. Right now, even though his mind wasn't quite right, he could still be manipulated by others. But what about later? What would happen to his sister once he recovered?

Mo Ziyuan is really crazy. Why did he have to fall for his own sister? Once he regains his senses, he will definitely snatch Yi Luo away. I can't stand it. Mo Ziyuan is not good enough for Yi Luo.

When Shi Jingsheng returned home after his social engagement, he saw the little bit of food on the dining table. The bowl was large and purple, and it belonged to Lin Yi'an. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that there seemed to be a little less rice in it.

Why is he eating so little? He barely touched the dishes on the table. He picked up the man's chopsticks, grabbed a few things, and put them in his mouth. They were delicious, just like before.

He wondered if Lin Yi'an's refusal to eat was... perhaps because of what happened during the day?

He quickly ate a few more bites and went upstairs to find Lin Yi'an.

At this moment, Lin Yi'an had already changed his posture. He was no longer standing in front of the French windows looking outside. Instead, he had prepared some good wine and was leaning back in his chair, taking a sip from time to time.

Life is like wine, with its bittersweet moments, rich layers, and a slow, gradual unfolding.

Shi Jingsheng opened his door and immediately saw Lin Yi'an. Lin Yi'an heard the noise at the door but remained seated without turning around, like a solitary traveler.

Shi Jingsheng rolled his eyes, a rare occurrence for him. A grown man acting crazy every day, he wondered what he was being so emo about.

He couldn't just ignore it. He really wanted to leave right now, but as soon as he stepped out of that room, Lin Yi'an would definitely run out and cry to him. Not only that, he would also make unreasonable demands, asking if he didn't want to be his good brother anymore and that he didn't care about him.

Sigh, it's hard to be a person, and it's even harder to be the brother of Lin Yi'an and Mo Ziyuan.

"Yi'an, why are you drinking here? Are you unhappy?"

What a clumsy rhetorical question, but Lin Yi-an still continued.

"Yeah, I'm not happy."

The man looked up at Shi Jingsheng with a pitiful expression.

Shi Jingsheng smiled gently, casually pulled up a chair and sat down at the table, picked up another glass on the table, poured himself a sip of wine and drank it.

"Then tell me why you're unhappy."

Two chairs and two wine glasses—this is where he's waiting.

"Jing Sheng, you already knew what happened during the day, but you didn't tell me. Isn't that your fault?"

Sure enough, what's meant to happen will happen.

"Yes, it's my fault. I should have told you everything I found out sooner."

"That's true. Jing Sheng is so bad, and you're still helping him."

What could Shi Jingsheng do? He was one of them too. Look, he still had to secretly hide it from Lin Yi'an.

"Don't hold it against me. Yi'an, you know we're the closest of friends. I was forced into this by him."

How could he not know that Mo Ziyuan loved threatening people?

"Then I forgive you."

After they finished speaking, the two slowly began to sip their wine.

Suddenly, Lin Yi'an approached and mysteriously began to tell him about his plan.

"Since you and I are the closest of friends, please do me a favor."

I have a feeling that Lin Yi-an is not a good person.

"What kind of help?"

“Ziyuan is fine as he is. Don’t let the doctor treat him anymore, and stop the medication. I will take good care of Ziyuan for the rest of my life.”

Lin Yi-an is definitely not a good person; what kind of evil plan is this?

Shi Jingsheng sat there and blinked at him, and Lin Yi'an blinked back, waiting for his reply.

Finally, the man sighed and said earnestly.

"That's not good."

"That place is not good."

Lin Yi'an got angry and stood up abruptly, looking at Shi Jingsheng in front of him.

"I think it's great, don't you think so?"

Shi Jingsheng was still sitting there; he needed to give him a good talking-to.

“Listen to me, why do you so desperately want Mo Ziyuan to not recover? In the past, I thought you were joking and just went along with it.”

"Then why didn't you do as I said this time?"

"You're clearly not joking, so how can I possibly go along with your wishes?"

Lin Yi'an was still very angry; he just couldn't calm down.

"I'm telling you, Shi Jingsheng, Mo Ziyuan's brain is definitely going to break down. What will happen to my sister if he doesn't?!"

His expression was very serious, and Shi Jingsheng could guess that it was because of his relationship with Yi Luo.

"Tell me your reasoning, is it because you're afraid that Ziyuan won't let Yilu off the hook once he recovers?"

"Isn't that right? We all know what kind of person he is."

“Ke Yi’an, think about it carefully. They are clearly happy together.”

Lin Yi'an couldn't listen anymore. He knew that Mo Ziyuan was no good at all, and he couldn't entrust his sister to him.

Suddenly, Lin Yi'an seemed to deflate, and his voice became calm.

“Jing Sheng, I know you’re in a difficult position, so I don’t need your help. I’ll do it myself. Just don’t interfere. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Zi Yuan.”

Shi Jingsheng looked at him without saying anything more, then turned and left the room.
