Chapter 179

Without changing the expression on his face, Qin Muchen threatened, “I can have this shop destroyed right now and only offer compensation later. But if that were to happen, I’m afraid no other pharmacy in Yunzhou City would dare to hire you.”

He was exuding an intimidating aura which was cultivated from years of fighting in the battlefield of the commercial world. Although his threat was unrealistic and illogical, it sounded reasonable just because it came from him.

Despite the comfortable surrounding temperature in the pharmacy, the pharmacist still felt chills travelling up her back after listening to his threat. For some reason, she believed that he would execute his threat.

Therefore, she told him in a shaky voice, “She was here to buy contraceptive pills.”

When she was still saying the last word of her sentence, the man, who was still posing threats in front of her a second ago, had already dashed out like the wind.

It had taken him less than three minutes to go into the shop and then make it back to his car.

Driving his car along the road, he soon spotted Su Ziyue who was walking at a snail’s pace on the curb.

With one hand holding her bag, she was looking listless. Her head was held low and her eyes were covered by her long hair.

No one knew whether she was actually paying attention to the road ahead.

Qin Muchen slowed down the speed of his car to follow her and stopped by the road when he saw her walking into a restaurant.

Just as he was getting ready to get out of the car, his phone rang.

He took the call distractedly while keeping his eyes on the entrance of the restaurant.

…

The restaurant was not too crowded as there was still some time before the peak hour of dinnertime.

Su Ziyue found a seat next to the window and took it. After flipping through the menu and ordering her food, she looked out of the window.

The moment she caught sight of the Bentley parked by the roadside, her pupils shrank at once and her expression changed slightly.

Prior to this, she already had the feeling that she was being followed but she had found no one every time she turned around to check.

The car belonged to Qin Muchen. Had he followed her here?

Before long, she dismissed the wishful thinking because she saw Gu Hanyan.

The waiter happened to serve her order at that moment. “Miss, this is your order.”

Su Ziyue withdrew her hands from the table to make space for the waiter to put the plate down. Yet, her eyes kept on wandering toward the black Bentley at the same time as if it had a mind of its own.

The door of the car was opened after Gu Hanyan knocked on it. Qin Muchen’s tall and slender body came into her sight the next second.

As the sky had already turned dark and the area was badly illuminated, Su Ziyue could not see the expression on his face.

It was only when she saw them coming toward the restaurant amidst lively conversation did she hastily look away.

She lost her appetite completely although the food in front of her looked exquisite.

After taking two mouthfuls of the food, she paid for the bill and was ready to leave after visiting the washroom.

The moment she walked out of the washroom, she bumped into Gu Hanyan.

Indeed, enemies were just bound to meet each other no matter how much they didn’t want to.

“What a coincidence.” Gu Hanyan removed the sunglasses from her face and stared at Su Ziyue.

Her spirited look was a stark contrast to Su Ziyue’s pale face.

Without saying a thing, Su Ziyue brushed past her and was ready to go but to her surprise, one of her arms was grabbed by Gu Hanyan. “What’s the rush? Muchen and I are having dinner here too. Don’t you want to join us?”

Needless to say, the provocation in her words was apparent.

Slowly, Su Ziyue clenched her fingers and pursed her lips. When she turned around to face Gu Hanyan again, her eyes were tinged with a layer of disdain. “No wonder you’re said to have a low EQ by some of the netizens. I don’t have to make use of the little free time he has to pester him because I only need to go back home and wait for him to be back.”

Before this, Su Ziyue had read some of the news articles written about Gu Hanyan on the internet. Even without relationship rumors or scandals, she was still a favorite of the keyboard warriors.

In fact, Gu Hanyan did not have a low EQ.

“I’m sure you have a very high EQ, but…” Gu Hanyan continued with the same expression, “That doesn’t mean you can capture the heart of your man.”

Gu Hanyan turned around and walked away after ending her comment with an icy snort.

It had just been a spontaneous decision of hers to call Qin Muchen and ask him out for dinner but to her surprise, he had actually accepted her invitation.

On top of that, Su Ziyue was at the same restaurant too.

Her intuition told her that they were having problems with their relationship.

Otherwise, judging from how cold Qin Muchen had always treated her, he would not have accepted to have dinner with her.

Now, it was proved that her refusal to give up on him was the right decision. Although it only produced little effect, at least it was something positive.

Watching as Gu Hanyan strutted away triumphantly like a queen, Su Ziyue took a deep breath before returning to the wash basin to wash her arm slowly and meticulously.

That arm was dirty because it had been held by Gu Hanyan just now.

…

Inside the private room, Qin Muchen was sipping water indifferently and didn’t look at Gu Hanyan at all.

Gu Hanyan didn’t seem to be bothered by his nonchalance. “Muchen, Chinese New Year is just around the corner. When are you going to visit my grandfather?”

At the mention of her grandfather, the expression on Qin Muchen’s face finally changed a little. “There’s still quite some time before Chinese New Year.”

He was implying his disinterest to talk about her grandfather with her.

Changing her expression slightly, Gu Hanyan lowered her head and stopped talking.

After he finished drinking the glass of water, Qin Muchen started smoking and every now and then, he would look at his watch. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just as Gu Hanyan was about to say something after sensing his preoccupation, he suddenly stubbed out his cigarette and stood up to make his way to the door. “I’ve got to go.”

Without waiting for Gu Hanyan’s response, he directly walked out of the private room.

…

He went to the seat where Su Ziyue was sitting earlier after leaving the private room only to find some strangers sitting there.

Immediately, a crease formed on his forehead. Knowing how long it usually took her to finish a meal, he had estimated the time before he walked out of the private room but to his surprise, she was already gone.

It seemed like everything he thought he knew about her was wrong.

And the gravest mistake went to his underestimation of her feelings toward him.

…

After leaving the restaurant, Su Ziyue went to the supermarket but she ended up buying nothing because she merely wanted to be around people.

She felt as though she was now homeless after being abandoned by her family.

The pedestrians were seen hurrying because they all had a destination, something she seemed to have lost all of a sudden.

She did not feel like going back to Cloud Bay.

No wonder it was commonly said that men tended to change their minds fast. When they loved you, they would treat you with all the gentleness and affection they had, but when they had a fallout with you…

Su Ziyue chuckled in a self-mocking way.

He said he had been tolerating her all this while and he had told her that he would adopt a new way to get along with her.

Those did not sound like something spoken in a fit of rage at all because they were purely excuses used to conceal the fact that he had stopped loving her.

She had never said things like that to him no matter how angry she had been. Perhaps, he was finally tired of her personality which was not likeable.

Otherwise, nothing else could explain his sudden outburst of anger.

Su Ziyue shook her head to stop herself from dwelling on the problem.

At that juncture, a bus happened to pull up in front of her. After giving it a brief consideration, she boarded the bus without caring where it was heading to.

By the time she reached the apartment after taking several buses aimlessly, it was already eleven at night.

She opened the door and stepped into the unit. Before she could even switch on the lights, a man’s gloomy and deep voice came from the darkness, “Finally, you’re back.”
