Chapter 343 - Tang Yin
The bob haired woman ran after the blue sports car furiously. But how could a human compete with a car? She did not manage to catch the culprit and only managed to see the person's back, the silhouette of a tall man and a mop of shimmering silver hair.
Grrr, the bastard! So upsetting!
She touched her forehead gingerly. It was swelling.
Your mother, her flawless skin was blemished now. It better not leave any scar. How much would it cost her to buy a decent cream? Even though she came from a very wealthy family, she herself could not afford to use such luxury at the moment. It has already been more than three years since she started living independently without their help. She was still mad at them.
She absolutely would not come back home unless they pull out the engagement!
While ruminating of many reasons on why she needed to persevere, her phone rang. With a sullen face, she took out her phone and looked at the screen.
Seeing the name on the caller ID, her gloomy eyes lit up brightly. A big smile appeared on her face as she hurriedly answered the call button. Even the stinging forehead did not seem to hurt so much now.
"Teacher!" she cried happily. "You called! Are you coming back now?!"
(EN: She called him 'teacher' or 'master'. But not the master and aide kind, it was more like the master and disciple kind. )
Her dearest master rarely called her. Then, it must be important. Was he finally back in the country?
"...I told you to not call me that. We are not young anymore." A cool and deep voice sounded from the phone. Just hearing the low voice filled with masculinity, one could tell that the owner of such a handsome voice must be equally dashing too.
Two rosy clouds appeared on her cheeks as the woman grinned, closed her eyes, and rubbed her cheeks on the phone giddily.
It has been a while.
'Ah, even master's voice was so handsome. If master was my fiancé in the first place, I would not run away at all, rather, I would surely come running to the altar!'
"And besides, how did you know I am returning?"
The woman did not answer, still immersed in his enigmatic voice.
"...Yin Han, are you listening to me?"
Yin Han was the woman's nickname.
"Oh. Yes!" The woman's back straightened up. "When did you say you will be coming again?"
The foolish appearance disappeared and was replaced by a clever look as she deflected the question easily.
"...Originally, next week. But I finished my business here earlier. If nothing unexpected happens here, I should be able to fly there tomorrow."
Yin Han's brown eyes grew wider. She was about to start yelling in happiness when the man spoke again.
"That's why, you need to come with me. Return to Tang Mansion. Your sister and grandmother are very worried about you."
"..."
You should not have added that line. She sulked.
Well, she has been missing her sister and her grandma, too. She already wrote a whole album during the past few years! Maybe, it was really about time to return back home.
"But... Have you told them that I can't accept their arrangement?"
"Sigh... Little Yin, Mistress Tang is not intending to force you on that. She has never been serious about it. She was just scaring you, because you were such an insufferable troublemaker."
"..."
Scaring me? Like hell! She practically introduced that man in front of me without warning, telling me that that unknown man was my supposed fiancé!
Her thoughts were rampaging, but she did not dare to talk back.
"Besides, I promised Xinyang that even if I have to drag you back to Tang Mansion no matter what, I should do so. They have already given you a lot of time. You can't act so irresponsible anymore. Even if you are a girl, I can still beat you—"
"I am a woman now!"
"U-huh. That's why stop acting like a child and return to the Tang Mansion with me. Alright?" The man even used a tone used to coax a three-year old child.
Yin Han 'tsked' at his tone.
Linfeng still treated her like a child. But despite that, she considered his words seriously.
Linfeng has been persuading her for a long time to come home. She has long started to sway.
The number one quality that Yin Han was proud of was her stubbornness that could not be moved, like the fixated and unmoving Mount Tai.
If she said she would rebel, she would really do rebel. Now, three years have passed out of her stubbornness. She survived with just only 1,000 yuan every month in her hand. Although she has long thought about going home, she found no reason to do so.
But now, Linfeng was coming back!
And she was also lacking money.
Maybe it was really about time for her to come back.
She lightly kicked the wheel of the car beside her and thought hard.
"Alright. But master, please help this disciple of yours. Please make sure that they agree to not sell me out. I am still trying to raise up my worth."
"Sigh." What a bear child, Linfeng sighed. He really wanted to end the call now and call his lovely Zhi'er.
According to his agreement with Tang Xinyang, it should be about time that he drag back the missing bear child to the Tang Mansion. He only called this mischievous former student of his out of that promise.
Besides, it was somewhat his fault, too, as to why this person could slip away from the mighty Tang family. He should have held back when he taught her some skills.
There was only an hour left for this short break. If this call got extended, hmm... then he could only use the meeting time while chatting with Zhi'er.
Solving the crisis of time that way, he decided to become benevolent for once and guided the pitiful boorish soul who back to the right path.
"Yin Han, listen clearly to what I am telling you."
"...?" The bear child stopped kicking around.
"They already rejected the offer from the Qu's family since more than two years ago, just one week after your disappearance. You are really just making things harder for yourself. "
"..."
Since two years ago? But her sister clearly said that she better forget Linfeng and stick herself to Qu Ruo instead! She thought then that they were still hyped up with the arrangement, because they did not want her to continue pining after Linfeng.
However, if what master said was true...
Clearly, it was her sister who lied!
"Yin Han?"
"...I heard you. I am thinking about it. Just give me a moment to wrap things up here."
"...Alright, if you need help, don't hesitate to call me."
"Of course, I always call you! It's you who are so busy that you never returned my calls!"
"..." Linfeng stiffened. It was not that he did not want to return them, he just could not call her back because if he ever had free time, he would rather spend it having video calls with Zhi'er.
He coughed inwardly. 'I am really sorry.'
"By the way, master, is there a reason why you are returning earlier?"
