Chapter 205
Su Ziyue had spent the subsequent week staying in the hospital, where she was personally served by Qin Muchen like an empress.
In the beginning, An Xia was surprised by his meticulous care, but she slowly got used to it after some time. Every now and then, she would remind Su Ziyue that Qin Muchen must be doing it out of pure love.
Su Ziyue could not say for sure whether it was true love or not, but she could obviously feel that Qin Muchen had been treating her more nicely than before.
Over the week, they had gotten along well with each other, and none of them brought up their previous argument.
Several times, Su Ziyue had tried to ask him about the attack, but he did not reveal anything to her.
The doctor officially confirmed that she could be discharged from the hospital, seeing how well she had recovered from her injury.
She couldn’t help but feel overjoyed in response to that announcement.
She was able to recover fast because An Xia had frequented the hospital to take care of her over the past week. On the day she was going home, she did not ask An Xia to come because she was feeling alright other than some mild pain.
She lied on her front on the bed so that the doctor could remove her stitches. After seeing the doctor holding a forceps and a blade in his hands, she quickly turned back around and kept her eyes tightly shut as she bit into one of her hands.
From what she had heard, suture removal could be painful.
Qin Muchen, who was standing next to her, frowned as soon as he noticed her reaction. With a look of displeasure, he turned to face the doctor. “Please be gentler.”
The doctor nodded, thinking that he hadn’t even started yet.
Seeing that Su Ziyue was still keeping her eyes closed, Qin Muchen stepped forward to caress her head and hold one of her hands. He stared at her wound before giving the doctor another glance.
Under Qin Muchen’s watchful eyes, the doctor started his task with great trepidation.
Su Ziyue could feel something being extracted from the skin of her back; it was a novel yet slightly scary sensation which only came with a little pain. Nervously, she held Qin Muchen’s hands.
Qin Muchen, who misinterpreted her reaction and thought she was in pain, roared at the doctor, “Didn’t you hear me just now when I told you to be gentler?!”
The doctor’s hands trembled because of Qin Muchen’s angry outburst. He turned to face him, but it only triggered him to howl at him again, “Why’re you looking at me?! Do it faster!”
The doctor was speechless.
Su Ziyue cast a confused glance at Qin Muchen, thinking that he was in a particularly bad mood today.
Why did he yell at the doctor when he did nothing wrong…
Fortunately, the process was completed in a short time. While the doctor was giving her some instructions, she suddenly thought of a question which she then voiced out, “Will my wound leave a scar?”
Out of instinct, the doctor glanced at Qin Muchen first as he contemplated how he should phrase his answer. “Judging from the condition of the wound, it’s very unlikely that the wound won’t leave a scar…”
So, did he mean that the wound would leave a scar?
Although she had already expected it, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed to hear it from an expert.
“I’ve got it. Doctor, thank you so much.” Su Ziyue smiled at the doctor without saying anything further.
No one could reject the smile of a beautiful girl.
Su Ziyue’s smile left a good impression on the doctor immediately. After telling her some things that she needed to take note of after she returned home, the doctor left the ward at a brisk pace under Qin Muchen’s menacing stare.
“Do you have bad blood with that doctor? Why did you yell at him for no reason at all and pull long
faces at him?” Su Ziyue voiced her displeasure with Qin Muchen’s attitude.
In fact, she already had the urge to ask him about it just now, but she had decided not to because the doctor was there, thinking that men tended to be very sensitive with their ego and pride.
Without answering her question, Qin Muchen only removed her patient uniform and helped her get up. “Did it hurt?” he asked.
“I didn’t feel much pain. I just thought it would be very painful.”
She couldn’t resist the urge to touch her back, but her hand was smacked away by Qin Muchen. “Don’t touch it. Let’s head home.”
With that, he helped her to her feet and led her out of the ward.
As one who was born with long limbs, he deliberately walked slower to match her pace.
Deep down inside, Su Ziyue felt slightly annoyed because he brushed her off just like that instead of answering her question earlier.
…
Nan Chuan was already waiting for them at the main entrance of the hospital.
When she neared the entrance, she spotted An Xia there too.
Holding a bouquet of flowers, An Xia approached her and said, “Ziyue, congratulations on your
recovery.”
“Thanks.” Just as Su Ziyue was ready to take the flowers from her with a smile, she was intercepted by Qin Muchen halfway.
As his phone rang shortly after that, he turned around and stepped away to take the call.
It was only on that day did An Xia realize that the reason Su Ziyue was injured was more than because of a mere robbery by thugs.
After Qin Muchen turned around, his back facing them, An Xia inched closer to Su Ziyue and whispered, “Why did you do something so silly? As a skilful and agile person, of course Qin Muchen could have avoided the stab.”
Nan Chuan had also recounted how Qin Muchen had single-handedly knocked out over ten gangsters to An Xia. Although An Xia was slightly taken aback by it, she deemed it reasonable because he was the great Mr. Qin after all, who was not an ordinary man to begin with.
In her opinion, Qin Muchen would have been fine even if Su Ziyue did not block the knife for him.
Looking impassive, Su Ziyue said with resignation, “I didn’t think too much at that time.”
As soon as her voice trailed off, she looked up as though she could sense Qin Muchen’s presence and saw that he had come to her side.
She was unsure whether he overheard An Xia’s comment just now or not, and if he did, would he think that she had deliberately blocked the knife for him for some ulterior motive?
Nonetheless, Qin Muchen did not give her time to entertain the wild thoughts in her mind because he straightaway opened the door of the car and asked her to get inside.
…
Throughout the week Su Ziyue had been hospitalized, Qin Muchen did not touch his laptop again or attend to work other than that first day.
Therefore, Su Ziyue urged him to go ahead and handle his work once they reached home.
And Qin Muchen went to the study without arguing.
It was after he had gone to the study did she stealthily go to search for her phone.
In this digital age of communication, she was amazed that she actually survived a whole week without her phone! Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
The battery of her phone had long gone flat. After connecting it to a charger, she immediately surfed the internet.
In no time, she came across news regarding Su Yige and Gong Zeyang’s imminent wedding ceremony and articles talking about the huge crisis Mu Group was finding themselves in.
She was left in a state of confusion after reading the news articles.
Su Yige and Gong Zeyang had just announced their decision to call off their engagement to the public
not too long ago, but now, they were going to hold a wedding ceremony soon. Were they trying to invite the public to give them a slap in their faces?
She read on and saw a news article that was posted during the middle of last night which explained the reason behind Gong Zeyang’s decision to call off the engagement: a big shot, whom Gong Zeyang had somehow offended, decided to seek revenge on Su Yige by framing her as a drug addict. As Gong Zeyang found it unacceptable, he had decided to call off their engagement…
What a mess was that?
She had merely been hospitalized for a week, but she felt as though the whole world had changed so much that she found it difficult to keep up.
So, Gong Zeyang had found Su Yige’s involvement in drugs disgusting, but now they were going to hold a wedding ceremony? What was the logic behind that?
After reading for some time, she still could not figure it out.
Suddenly, she thought of Qin Muchen, but she did not dare to bother him with something related to Gong Zeyang.
At the same time, she thought it was probably okay for her to ask him about the matter this time.
When she went to the study to look for him, she had no idea what he was doing as he was focusing on his laptop.
Before she could speak, he had already looked up at her. “Do you need help?”
