Marry Me Quick

Chapter 215

Qin Muchen then immediately got out of the bathtub with a whoosh.

Su Ziyue came to her senses as she quickly slammed the door shut.

Then came Qin Muchen’s voice again.

“Su Ziyue, come in.”

Su Ziyue asked grumpily, “What for?”

“Wash my hair.”

In the next moment, Su Ziyue heard a bang from the bathroom. She quickly flung the door open.

Qin Muchen was wearing the bathrobe loosely and sitting by the bathtub. At his feet was the shower head which had fallen onto the floor.

He frowned as he looked at Su Ziyue and said unhappily, “I want to wash my hair.”

After the previous incident, Su Ziyue was unsure whether Qin Muchen was actually in his right mind. She had no choice but to wash his hair for him.

Qin Muchen’s hair was short, so it was a quick job. He was also very cooperative the whole time.

After the wash, Su Ziyue blow-dried his hair with the hairdryer.

As she worked, she felt an arm around her waist. Looking down, she saw Qin Muchen’s arms had wound themselves around her waist.

Qin Muchen looked up at her as he narrowed his eyes, “Faster!” However, his gaze was not intimidating.

Then his body went limp and fell onto hers.

His head with the damp hair snuggled against her chest and no more words escaped from his mouth.

Su Ziyue was shorter than he by quite a fair bit. Their positions now made her unable to stretch out her arms.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she continued to blow-dry his hair.

When his hair was finally dry, she dragged the unsteady Qin Muchen to his bed.

As she finally pulled him onto the bed, beads of sweat had trickled down her forehead.

Luckily, he did not kick up a fuss anymore after pulling the duvet over himself. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Relieved, Su Ziyue went back into the bathroom to shower.

She thought that there could finally be peace tonight.

Halfway through her shower, she suddenly heard Qin Muchen’s angry voice, “Su Ziyue, where did you go?!”

Su Ziyue rolled her eyes at the ceiling and finished her shower hastily. She then ran out after pulling on her nightgown.

Qin Muchen was standing barefoot in the middle of the room, frowning deeply with his face full of anger and anxiety. He looked very different from his usual calm self.

When he saw her coming out from the bathroom, he walked over and carried her in his arms, “Where did you go?”

Su Ziyue answered with a sigh, “Shower.”

I was showering, couldn’t he hear the sound of rushing water?

“Oh, you were showering.” Qin Muchen’s voice was low and depressed, “You weren’t here, so I couldn't sleep.”

Then he carried Su Ziyue toward the bed but suddenly kicked the edge of a recliner. Su Ziyue’s heart was in her throat as she croaked, “Let me down!”

She didn’t know if he heard her because he ignored her.

Although he was staggering, he still managed to steadily put her onto the bed. Then, he got into bed himself, hugged her and closed his eyes contentedly.

His hug was too tight and Su Ziyue couldn’t really breathe properly. She called his name, but he didn’t respond.

Is he already asleep?

Su Ziyue looked at his face up close and couldn’t help but pinch his cheek while complaining softly, “You make people suffer when you’re drunk, so you shouldn’t drink in the future!”

“Sure…”

Qin Muchen suddenly extended his hand to touch her face. Su Ziyue was startled and immediately retracted her hand.

Disappointment flickered across her face as she thought to herself, Can I ever stop him from drinking?

He’s Qin Muchen. He could do anything from drinking to soliciting prostitutes. But then, I guess women are the ones who want to get a piece of him, not the other way around.

After sleeping for a while, Qin Muchen suddenly started tossing and turning.

Su Ziyue was sleeping lightly, so she immediately awoke.

She thought that he wanted some water, so she went downstairs and poured out a large glass of water, then fed it to him.

After drinking the entire glass of water in one gulp, he turned toward her with bright eyes.

Su Ziyue felt uneasy as she looked back at him. She suddenly remembered that it was already past midnight, and he was probably sober now.

She was stunned for a while before saying, “Let’s sleep.”

“Yeah.” Qin Muchen replied with a husky voice.

Su Ziyue turned off the light and got back into the bed. She suddenly felt wide awake all of a sudden.

After a long while, she turned and faced away from Qin Muchen. But he quickly hugged her closely and called out, “Dear.”

Su Ziyue was so surprised by this that she didn’t dare move an inch.

He repeated the word again. This time Su Ziyue heard it clearly. She trembled involuntarily as he leaned his face close to her ear, his breath hot and seductive.

She still dared not move.

Qin Muchen’s lips landed onto her cheek, and his voice sounded crystal clear in the silent night, “It’s my fault. If you don’t want kids, then we won’t have any. Please don’t be angry anymore, and please don’t give me the cold shoulder…”

Although she was no longer young and impressionable, Su Ziyue’s heart softened when she heard those words.

Qin Muchen still wanted to say more.

Su Ziyue realized that she couldn’t pretend to be asleep anymore, so she turned and faced him. Then, she moved backward to create a distance between them before questioning him, “When have I given you the cold shoulder?”

But Qin Muchen changed the topic and said, “Let’s get married next spring, okay?”

“I’ve given you my answer this morning.” She wouldn’t get married to someone who didn’t really love her.

After a few seconds of silence, Qin Muchen asked, “If the conditions are met, do you still not want to marry me?”

As he spoke, his hand touched Su Ziyue’s hand, spread her fingers open and put it against his chest. His voice was heavy with certainty as he said, “I am an honest businessman. My actions are louder than my words.”

Su Ziyue’s hand clenched but she did not retract it. She stammered, “I-I don’t understand what you mean.”

“You do.” Qin Muchen’s voice was full of certainty, “You’re so smart and you’ve also stolen my heart. What more could you not understand?”

“I…”

Su Ziyue’s mind blanked as she thought that she must have heard him wrongly.

The darkness of the night made her feel like she was in danger.

However, for Qin Muchen, darkness made him feel completely safe.

“Su Ziyue, you’re not allowed to give me the cold shoulder in the future. In my heart, you’re…”

He wanted to say that he had been so good to her, but she kept hurting his feelings.

But then he remembered that he hadn’t actually been good to her all this while.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her. It was only because he felt insecure.

There was only one Su Ziyue in this whole world. If someone were to take her away, what could he do?

“Are you now truly awake and in your right mind?” Su Ziyue asked cautiously in uncertainty.

Hearing this, Qin Muchen felt upset and pulled her into his arms. Then, he rolled over and lay on top of her. With a threateningly seductive voice, he said, “Now I’ll let you know whether I’m truly awake.”
