Su Yige let out a shrill shriek while she clutched her face. “Su Ziyue!” she exclaimed.

Su Ziyue only let out an icy snort before turning around and entering Su Tower.

After she reached her room, she sat down and lay on the table. She stayed like that for a long while as though all the energy in her had been sapped.

She remained that way until An Xia stepped into her room and noticed her condition. “Ziyue, what’s going on?” she asked.

“I’m fine. I just didn’t sleep well last night.” In response to An Xia’s question, Su Ziyue looked up at her and hid the part of her face which had been slapped by Su Yige just now with her hair before flashing her a smile.

Yet, that smile seemed too strained to be convincing.

An Xia was not worried by her condition but instead, her curiosity was piqued. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Edging nearer to her, she asked in a crafty tone, “You didn’t sleep well?”

“Yes.” Su Ziyue nodded but she did not elaborate on the reason because after all, the incident last night was too embarrassing for her to share even with her best friend.

An Xia, who thought of what Su Ziyue had told her the previous day, speculated, “Why did Mr. Qin pick

you up so early yesterday? Did he confront you about Gong Zeyang’s decision to call off the engagement and did he punish you for that in bed?”

If it was any other day, Su Ziyue would not hold back from complimenting An Xia for being an astute observer.

After taking a deep breath, she stared at An Xia with her head tilted to one side and countered, “I think you desperately need a man to punish you in bed after staying single for too long. In my opinion, Nan Chuan is a good choice.”

She knew An Xia had always had a thing for Nan Chuan.

There was no doubt Nan Chuan was an excellent man because he was trusted by Qin Muchen a great deal.

Su Ziyue was stunned slightly by her own thought. Why would she think of Qin Muchen when she just randomly mentioned someone else?

Without noticing the abnormality of her reaction, An Xia said awkwardly, “You’re being ridiculous… I’ve got to attend to my work now…”

It was only after An Xia had left her room did Su Ziyue drop all pretense.

Looking expressionless, she started working.

Everyone in the branch office of LK Group were on tenterhooks throughout the entire day.

It was because the president of the company, who had always been bad-tempered, was having an even worse temper than usual today.

Not only had he rejected every proposal submitted to him during the meeting, but he had also given basically everyone a piece of his mind.

On top of that, he had managed to make his criticisms on solid grounds. The senior management of the company, who looked dejected after getting reprimanded by him, found themselves longing for the previous president to be back.

Even his secretary, who was very confident with her tolerance level after having more than ten years’ worth of experience in the field, had tears in her eyes after she was scolded by him.

Inside the president’s office, Qin Muchen was rifling through a document with an impassive expression on his face.

The secretary’s heart jolted with every page he turned.

Suddenly, Qin Muchen started flipping through the document at a much more rapid rate, a sight that gave the secretary a bad premonition.

As expected, he thrusted the document at her the next second and confronted her with a cold face, “From what I’ve heard, you’re the most competent secretary in the entire company.”

The secretary silently wiped away the sweat from her forehead and shook her head vigorously in denial. “Nothing of that sort. They’re only flattering me.”

Qin Muchen sneered, “It's a good thing to have self-awareness. Now, redo this document for me in half an hour or I’ll show you the exit.”

“Yes.”

Although completing the task within half an hour was near impossible, the secretary did not dare to haggle.

“Get out.”

When the door was closed, Qin Muchen lifted his wrist to check the time on his watch out of habit.

It was half an hour before five, which was the time Su Ziyue clocked out of work.

Slightly relaxing the tension in his face muscles, his other hand had already reached for his suit jacket which was draped over the back of the chair habitually. He suddenly stopped as something struck him.

He remained in that posture in a daze. After several seconds, he withdrew his hands and continued dealing with work as if nothing had happened.

But three minutes later, he rose to his feet again and made his way out after taking his suit jacket from the chair.

As it was time to get off work, Su Ziyue walked out of Su Tower with her handbag. Immediately, she was seized by a penetrating coldness from a surge of icy wind which came blowing her way.

She shrank into herself and sniffled before continuing to walk.

While she was on her way out, she fished out her phone only to find that it was switched off because the battery had gone flat.

Slightly stunned, she looked up and gave her surroundings a thoughtful glance. After making sure the familiar Bentley was nowhere in sight, she put her phone back into her bag before hailing a taxi by the road.

When the taxi was driven away, a black Bentley slowly followed behind.

“Girl, where ya goin’?” the driver, who looked like he was in his forties, spoke with a northern accent; his robust voice sounded exceptionally amiable.

Suddenly, Su Ziyue’s throat felt dry, causing her to gulp as she turned to take a glance at the cityscape outside. It was after several seconds did she speak, “To the nearest pharmacy please.”

Last night, Qin Muchen had done it with her several rounds without wearing a condom. How bitter things had turned between them just provided her more reason to make sure she did not get pregnant this time.

“Girl, do you wanna get some medication for yourself? You gotta go to the hospital if you’re sick because treating yourself with random medication is not the way to go…” The driver’s tone was filled with concern.

In response to his words, Su Ziyue laughed dryly and explained, “It’s nothing serious. I’ll be fine after having the medication.”

The driver pulled up in front of a huge pharmacy before turning around to tell her, “My daughter always caught the flu when she was little and this was where I always got medicine for her. The pharmacists here are trustworthy and professional.”

“Thanks.” After thanking the driver, Su Ziyue paid him the fare and alighted from the car in a haste.

Then, the taxi drove away. With her head held low, she felt a lump in her throat as she was seized by a sudden longing for her father.

Yet, she had no idea where he was kept up until now.

When she stepped into the pharmacy, she was approached by a female pharmacist who asked her, “Miss, what are you looking for?”

Su Ziyue found herself at a loss of expressing herself although she already had the words ready in her mind. Saying out loud what she wanted made her feel like she was sharing her sexual life with outsiders.

Women in general tended to be intuitive, let alone a woman who was also a pharmacist.

The pharmacist, who noticed her hesitation, posed her another question, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Staring at her, Su Ziyue stammered, “I would like some contraceptive pills…”

With a look of enlightenment, the pharmacist went to fetch her the pills and advised her while she was at it, “These pills are bad for your health. Next time, ask your boyfriend to take the necessary precaution himself as we girls should treat ourselves better.”

Prior to this, she had no need to take care of stuff like this because Qin Muchen would always take precaution.

But things were different now.

Without replying to the pharmacist, she paid for the pills and stuffed it into her bag before walking away.

The pharmacist shook her head while she was watching Su Ziyue’s back. No matter how beautiful a girl was, she needed to find a man who loved her and treated her well.

While she was entertaining the thought in her mind, a man dressed in a black suit suddenly approached her with a look so icy that it was scary to look at. “What did she buy just now?” he asked.

“What?” Soon, the pharmacist realized that he was referring to the beautiful girl who had just left. Apologetically, she said, “Sorry, I can’t share private information of our customers with you.”
