Marry Me Quick

Chapter 207

No one knew how long Gu Hanyan had been standing there, or how much she had heard.

Su Ziyue didn’t expect Gu Hanyan to appear here either, so the stupefaction on her face was completely exposed. Meanwhile, Gu Hanyan had the same expression as her, seemingly not expecting that she would open the door at that moment as well.

Very soon, Su Ziyue came back to her senses and asked indifferently, “Why are you here?”

Before Gu Hanyan could speak, she heard Bai Jingshu’s voice from downstairs. “Hanyan, are they in the study?”

The next second, a vibrant smile bloomed on Gu Hanyan’s face while she replied in a caring voice, “I came with Jingshu to celebrate your discharge from the hospital.”

Poker faced, Su Ziyue pushed her aside and walked down the stairs.

She would never believe what Gu Hanyan said. Not even a punctuation mark.

Once she got downstairs, she bumped into Bai Jingshu.

Bai Jingshu looked her up and down and found nothing strange, so he just asked, “How are you feeling?”

He sounded caring, so Su Ziyue nodded. “I’m alright. The doctor said that I’m recovering well.”

With that, she went to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.

However, Bai Jingshu followed her into the kitchen.

So Su Ziyue poured him a glass of water as well. Bai Jingshu quickly accepted it with both hands and looked at her with a smile. Needless to say, he looked extremely ingratiating.

Su Ziyue glanced at him before asking, “What’s up?”

As soon as she finished her sentence, she was stunned. She felt that her tone at that moment was similar to Qin Muchen’s tone when he talked to her just now after she sought him out upstairs.

Was it because they had been together for a long time?

Therefore, their habits, behavior and tone of voice became inexplicably similar.

Slightly distracted, Su Ziyue absent-mindedly took a sip of the water. Then, she looked at Bai Jingshu, who looked uneasy.

Gently leaning back, Bai Jingshu casually said, “Why are you the same as Muchen? Both of you sound so cold when you speak.”

Although Su Ziyue knew that he was only saying that to conceal his uneasiness, she still couldn’t help but pull a long face. “Keep it to yourself then if you don’t want to say it.”

Noticing that Su Ziyue was really leaving, Bai Jingshu quickly said, “Wait, I’ll say it now. Why don’t you call An Xia over here too? Isn’t she your best friend? You got discharged from the hospital today, so we should celebrate.”

“So you brought Gu Hanyan over to celebrate with me?” Even a fool would know that Gu Hanyan would never sincerely celebrate anything for her.

Bai Jingshu had known Gu Hanyan for a long time, so he knew very well about her feelings for Qin Muchen.

In the past, he had even tried to bring Gu Hanyan and Qin Muchen together, but ever since he saw how Qin Muchen poured his mind and soul for Su Ziyue, that thought vanished.

Although he was a playful wealthy dandy, he wasn’t someone who idled around and only had stupidity in his brain like Mu Ninghui. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He knew that Gu Hanyan would never sincerely celebrate Su Ziyue’s discharge from the hospital, and he also knew that women loved to play such harmless tricks. Therefore, he didn’t reject her suggestion.

Besides, he had other motives.

Since he drove An Xia home, she hadn’t talked to him even until now.

After a dry cough, he said, “We’re friends after all…”

Su Ziyue sneered. “She’s your friend, not mine.”

Bai Jingshu sniffed awkwardly. Although Su Ziyue was sometimes brutally straightforward, he actually admired this kind of personality. Most importantly, she was An Xia’s best friend.

“An Xia is your best friend though. Aren’t you calling her over?”

“Since she’s my best friend, when did you get to decide whether I’m calling her over or not, Mr. Bai?”

Narrowing her eyes, Su Ziyue’s eyes became sharp. Besides, her face was still pale because her wound hadn’t healed, so she looked terrifying when she said that with that expression.

Bai Jingshu inwardly shuddered.

Before he could say anything, Su Ziyue suddenly said sternly, “Bai Jingshu, although you only own a small company, I know you came from an extraordinary family. However, I don’t know how sincere you are to An Xia. She was born in a normal family. Even if she won’t have wealth or a prosperous life in the future, she’ll at least live a simpler yet happier life than both of us, so don’t mess with her.”

Su Ziyue suddenly said that long speech, causing Bai Jingshu to be stunned. She didn’t know if he was actually listening to what she said either.

After a moment of silence, Bai Jingshu asked, “How do you know that I’m insincere?”

“Even if you are totally sincere, will your family accept An Xia? You know better than me. People from prestigious families like you will never have full control over their own marriages. Even if you’re able to convince your family, how long will that process take? Besides, can you guarantee that An Xia won't get hurt in that process? Bai Jingshu, stop while it’s early.”

Su Ziyue initially didn’t intend to meddle in Bai Jingshu and An Xia’s business. They were adults, and they had their own opinions, so they knew what was important.

However, Bai Jingshu’s actions today made her think that he was serious about An Xia.

For a handsome wealthy dandy, who had both looks and intelligence, it was as easy as a pie for him to make a young girl in her 20s fall for him if he put his heart into it.

Su Ziyue felt that if she hadn't been born in the Su family, or if she hadn’t met Qin Muchen first, she might have fallen for Bai Jingshu if he sincerely pursued her.

Of course, she hoped that An Xia would be happy, but An Xia was just too important to her.

Just like how parents cared for their child. Even though they knew that their child had to walk their own path, they still wished to teach their child all their life experiences and skills, hoping that they could stay on the right track and walk a smoother path.

Bai Jingshu slowly became glum.

His initially determined face seemed to have been snowed on, slowly freezing until his face became stiff.

Su Ziyue opened her mouth and could only sigh at last while saying gloomily, “It’ll be alright after some time.”

Bai Jingshu raised his head, showing great unwillingness while speaking stubbornly like a child, “What about you and Muchen?”

Why couldn’t he be with An Xia when Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen could be together?

Su Ziyue was stunned for a second before she burst out laughing. However, her laugh was full of sarcasm. “That’s all there is to it with me and him.”

She recalled her unanswered question back at the study and Qin Muchen’s long silence, and her heart froze.

She walked to the hall and looked in the direction of the study upstairs, only to find that the door of the study was closed. Yet, Qin Muchen and Gu Hanyan weren’t in the hall.

Although she knew that Qin Muchen didn’t have any romantic feelings toward Gu Hanyan, she still felt uneasy.
