[ABO] The Sparrow in the Threshold

Part 76

"Now the main source of income is bootleg wine, which is sent to the southwestern islands. For the time being, I dare not reach out to the central area of ​​the headquarters to avoid any problems....In addition to this winery, there is another winery established in the border area. There is only one hotel and one casino in the main city, and there are some scattered medicines and handicrafts reselling... I really can only do this in a short period of time, it is my lack of ability..."

"You've done a great job, much better than I predicted."

They were visiting the winery, and there was a smell of food everywhere. Yinque and Cheng Huan walked in front, and Zhiyu and Yin Ke followed.

During the conversation, I happened to pass the wine outlet, Yinque paused slightly, Cheng Huan understood what he meant, took a small glass of new wine and handed it to him: "Master, you can try it, a special wine from the west."

"Well," Yinque took it and took a sip, "Mom left a lot of money, I was quite surprised. Where is that person now?"

"I'm still staying in the temple to do priesthood, saying that I'm just guarding the inheritance for the old lady, and I don't want to get involved in these things anymore." Cheng Huan said, "Young master, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Since you don't want to, then go away." Yinque handed the wine glass back, "Yin Ke, try it, does it suit the taste of the East?"

"Oh……"

The wine glass was handed over to Yin Ke, and Yinque continued to look at the situation in the winery, and said casually, "I asked you to investigate the matter two days ago, did you find it?"

"I found out a little bit." Cheng Huan said, "The family disappeared four years ago. The one the young master wanted to find separated from her husband and has a son. But she is unlucky. Her son has a congenital heart disease. Died before she was three years old; her husband immediately married another Omega and sold her...to a brothel."

"Hmm..." Yinque lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and then continued after a while, "Bring him over, and let Zhiyu go."

"Cheng Huan offended, I don't know what the young master plans to do." He said, "If I'm not wrong, the young master has arranged so many arrangements, of course the Yin family should pay for it with blood, right? Now Yin Qiansui married the fourth princess. Afterwards, he will formally succeed the head of the Yin family...Maybe Yin Baiyan will find a place to live in seclusion, and then we can do whatever we want..."

"Don't worry, you watched me grow up." Omega squinted at him, with a cold smile on his lips, "You must know how much I hold grudges....It's really hard for you. It wasn't my mistake at the beginning, It won't be like this now; you have worked so hard in getting married for so many years, and now you should feel at ease for the elderly."

Cheng Huan shook his head with a smile: "I'm only 35, and I can still be useful to the young master."

"I've always wanted to ask you why..." Yinque hesitated, "Why have you been loyal to my father for so many years... Now that he is gone, you have no obligation to be loyal to me."

Want to know.

I want to know why Cheng Huan is so loyal, and whether this loyalty can be replicated in other people.

It was a naive idea, but he asked it anyway.He unconsciously raised his hand and touched the cool emerald between his collarbone - that was the only thing he took away from Yin's house.Since leaving the capital, he has lived in the west for some time now, and the season has come to deep winter; the man's face is like a nightmare he cannot escape, it will appear in his mind without warning, and it will haunt him every night .

Yin Qiansui got the right of inheritance. I don't know what the man's expression was at that time, whether he was stunned and angry, or accepted it calmly.

In short, Yinque was not surprised, this was originally a situation planned by him alone.He took away the criminal evidence of the second prince and Yin Qiansui, and those two will definitely blame Qianqiu.When receiving the news, Yinque even wanted to call him to remind him "don't die", but she gave up.

"This is my personal choice." Cheng Huan said, "The young master asked me why and I couldn't give the reason, but this is my choice."

"Don't worry, I won't doubt you." Yinque said lightly, and finally put away other irrelevant thoughts, "The next thing is the port, take down the western port, this batch of wine..."

He turned his head to look at Yin Ke: "What do you think?"

Yin Ke nodded: "Not bad."

"This batch of wine is sold to the east, and Yin Ke is in charge." Yinque said, "Let's do this for now, and when the time is right, we will add two more wineries, send [-]% of the profits out, and become public wine brewing. ... But there is one thing , Cheng Huan, you have to remember, we absolutely do not do business with officials."

-

A month later, Zhiyu brought back a baby from the north. At that time, Yin Ke was busy selling wine in the east, and it was best to sign several long-term contracts.

"...Where is the woman?" Yinque was sitting on the sofa looking at the account at that time, and this was the first sentence she said when she saw Zhiyu entering the door.

Winter is coming, the female Alpha is wearing a thick cloak, she takes off the hood at the door, shakes off the snowflakes on her body before entering the door: "She is dead..."

Yinque didn't seem too emotional, took a half sip of the hot tea with her head down, and turned over a page of the ledger: "Really, thank you for your hard work. It's cold outside, come here to warm up."

The firewood in the fireplace was crackling, Zhiyu walked to the side of the coffee table, took off her cloak with one hand, and said with some embarrassment: "She has a child, Zhiyu took it upon herself...brought the child back .”

Yinque raised her head and saw the little life in her arms.

"...she was about to give birth when I arrived in the north. I wanted to wait for her to give birth before bringing her here, but..." Zhiyu said, "she died of dystocia. The people in the brothel planned to sell the child ,so I……"

"Where is the father of the child?"

"It's... a guest of a brothel."

The baby was well protected, wrapped in three layers of thick cotton clothes, sleeping soundly in Zhiyu's arms.Ginque closed the ledger, motioned her to come closer, and held out her hand to the baby.

His fingertips were about to touch the baby's rosy skin, but he stopped halfway, and instead tucked down the cotton-padded jacket, exposing the baby's entire face.

Zhiyu said: "... If the young master doesn't need it, I will find someone to adopt him tomorrow."

"Is it a boy?"

"Ah."

"No wonder." From his wrinkled little face, Qianqiu's shadow could be vaguely seen.

Yinque watched quietly for a while, then suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "...I am so happy to sleep so soundly. You will be responsible for taking care of him when he stays, and you can't let go of what you should do."

"Yes."

here we go again.He couldn't help thinking of that face again.When I think about it, my chest starts to hurt dully, and when I think about it, I feel a sense of powerlessness that has been emptied.

Yinque didn't say anything, got up suddenly and walked upstairs, Zhiyu lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master Que, good night."

Of course, Zhiyu alone cannot take good care of a newborn baby; she can only hire an experienced wet nurse to take care of the child full-time for her in the bungalow.The little guy didn't have a name, and Yinque didn't choose a name for him, so others naturally didn't dare to make claims; the wet nurse only knew that the businessman's surname was "Cheng", so she called him "Xiao Cheng".

When Yin Ke finally settled the matter over there, when he returned to the bungalow, he was taken aback by this little guy.

"I've only been out for more than a month, and Yinque has a child? Yin Qianqiu's?" he asked Zhiyu.

Zhiyu shook his head, and before he had time to explain the situation, Yin Ke vetoed the question himself: "Forget it, don't tell me, I'm going to die of jealousy; where is Yinque?"

"Master Que has a social event today. He should be back soon at Hongyue Tower. Cheng Huan is with him."

Yin Ke hastily grabbed the lighter on the coffee table, lit a cigarette for himself, and went out again: "I'll pick him up."

It was cold and windy outside, but Hongyue Tower was still lively.

Yin Ke came just in time, he just walked to the main entrance of Hongyue Tower, and saw Yinque walking down the stairs holding on to the wooden handrail on the stairs in the store.Cheng Huan followed him, guarding him with a little worry, but he didn't reach out to help him.

Yin Ke hurried over, stepped up the stairs in two or three steps, and stretched out his hand beside Yinque, "...It's the first time I've seen you drink like this."

He put his hand on Yinque's waist, for fear that he would fall.

Omega's face was flushed, and she was indescribably charming; the licorice-flavored pheromone was mixed with wine, just smelling it would make a capable person drunk.Yinque tilted his head dully, his dark eyes were covered with thin water mist: "...Yin Ke?"

"Yes."

"Don't touch me." Yinque said, and opened his hand, "I don't need your support."

No wonder Cheng Huan didn't help him.

Yin Ke irritatedly "tsk": "You are so drunk, I didn't intend to take advantage of you, I just helped you into the car..."

"unnecessary……"

Yinque ruthlessly pushed the hand out for the second time, and Yin Ke saw him quicken his pace, stepping down the stairs step by step, and walking towards the door.

When talking about those voices in the east, Yin Ke thought of Yinque countless times.When they were in the Yin family, they rarely met each other, and he never felt anything about it; but since they set foot on the boat to escape from the capital together, they have been together day and night for more than a month.When we parted again, it felt completely different.

He really likes Yinque, and he knows that Yinque loves and hates Qianqiu.

Yin Ke chased after him, stretched out his hand to help again and again, but was pushed away by Yinque again and again.

"...Hey, even if you don't need someone to help you, you're going the wrong way, the car is parked over there!" Yin Ke said.

"I want to walk alone, don't follow." Yinque said, turning her head to look at Cheng Huan, "Don't follow either."

After speaking, he walked slowly along the street, facing the oncoming sharp wind like a knife.

Yin Ke looked at Cheng Huan: "You don't really intend to let him go out alone..."

"I'll send someone to follow..." "No, I'll go." Yin Ke said, "I'll go."

He was chasing Yinque in the street late at night, and the halo of the street lamps formed a long line. They were separated by about two meters. lonely.This kind of Yinque was completely different from the Yinque in his impression, he didn't know whether he should go up to persuade Yinque to stop wandering outside when he was drunk.

"...Yinque, Yinque...you wait!"

After a long time, Yin Ke still couldn't hold back, and chased after him calling his name.

But the man seemed to be unable to hear, with his head down, his soft forehead completely covering his eyebrows and eyes, and he didn't respond to Yin Ke who was chasing after him.

"Yinque... go back, don't leave." Yin Ke said, "Go back to hangover and ask Zhiyu to cook sober soup for you, won't it be over... Hey, Yinque..."

"...Yin Ke." Yinque suddenly said, "Do you love me?"

"Love."

——For some reason, I said it without any hesitation.

He saw the corners of Yinque's mouth slightly upturned, and his voice was weak, and he said coquettishly: "...I know. You will cooperate with me, not for money, but because you love me, right?"

"En." Yin Ke said.

"But you are late," Yinque said with an unbelievably gentle expression, "I love him, and I only want him to love me."

"I know." Yin Ke said angrily, "I know you love Yin Qianqiu, I've seen it a long time ago, I saw it when I was in Yin's house... But didn't you still leave? Since you left What's the point of talking about those who love or not..."

Probably Yinque was not drunk, at least he was able to say these words soberly.

"Who knows." Silver Sparrow said, "Not everything I do makes sense."

"........."

"..."

Yin Ke thought for a while, took out a small tube of lip balm from his pocket, and stuffed it into Yinque's pocket: "By the way, this is for you; there is no other meaning, I just bought it by chance... I will accompany you For a while, and then go back?"
