Chapter 216
In the end, Qin Muchen used the most straightforward way to prove that he was truly awake.
After Su Ziyue had fallen asleep, Qin Muchen carried her into the bathroom to clean up.
...
The next morning.
When Su Ziyue woke up, the man beside her had left.
She turned and sat up quickly. At this time, the door flung open.
Qin Muchen carried a tray as he walked in.
He was wearing casual clothes as he carried the tray and closed the door after him.
As he looked up, he saw Su Ziyue hugging the duvet and sitting on the bed, her eyes unusually clear and bright.
Qin Muchen’s heart fluttered as the coldness on his face broke and warmth flooded in, instantly softening his expression.
He strode toward her and put down the tray in front of her. “Breakfast.”
Su Ziyue stared at him in surprise as she asked in a dazed voice, “What time is it?”
“Half past nine.”
Qin Muchen walked to the bedside and reached out to pat her head.
Su Ziyue suddenly realized that she hadn’t put on her clothes yet. She clutched the duvet and backed away involuntarily. “Oh.”
Qin Muchen’s outstretched hand hung in mid-air. He narrowed his eyes at her dangerously.
The room fell silent.
Su Ziyue smelled the food and gulped silently. “I’m hungry.”
“Then get up and eat.”
Qin Muchen sat by the bed, unmoving like a rock.
Su Ziyue bit her lip and said, “I want to get dressed.”
She felt that he should know by now to leave the room.
“Okay.” Qin Muchen finally got up but walked toward the walk-in wardrobe instead. “I’ll grab some clothes for you.”
Su Ziyue closed her eyes in surrender and pulled the duvet over her head. Can’t he leave?
I can get the clothes myself!
Qin Muchen grabbed some casual clothes and threw them onto the bed, then left the room.
Su Ziyue heaved a sigh of relief as she got dressed, carried out her morning routine, and started eating breakfast.
Qin Muchen had lived overseas for a long time. Western cuisine was his specialty, but he wasn’t bad at Chinese either.
To someone like Su Ziyue, who couldn’t even cook rice properly yet, Qin Muchen’s cooking skills were enough for her to be in awe.
She finished all the breakfast that was brought to her.
As she carried her plates and passed by the dining room, she found Qin Muchen sitting alone at the dining table while using his phone.
He felt Su Ziyue’s presence and said to her without lifting his head, “Put the plates in the kitchen and then come out.”
As he spoke, he didn’t stop tapping on his phone.
Su Ziyue was curious about what he was doing. She quickly put the plates in the kitchen, but when she came out, he had already put his phone away.
“Come here.”
Su Ziyue hesitated for a while but approached him.
The two of them had interacted the same way as before throughout the entire morning. However, Su Ziyue felt slight happiness emanating from Qin Muchen.
All this time, he had taken care of her at home. He would cook for her and listen to her without complaining. But he still appeared displeased and had a poker face on the entire time.
Su Ziyue thought that he was displeased with whatever she did because he didn’t love her.
But now, it appeared that it was not the case.
Su Ziyue approached him obediently.
“What is…”
She had just come up to him when he reached out and pulled her to him, causing her to fall right into his arms and on his lap.
“...going on?” Su Ziyue finished her words and dared not move an inch under his sharp gaze.
Qin Muchen’s gaze was burning as he stared at her. “You haven’t yet answered my question from last night.”
“What question?” Su Ziyue asked in a hushed voice.
She felt that what happened last night was like a dream.
All those things he had said had made her wonder which of them were real.
And as for the ones that weren’t real...
Qin Muchen was not someone who would lie.
“Are you playing dumb?”
Qin Muchen narrowed his eyes at her.
Su Ziyue lowered her head guiltily and kept quiet.
He sighed and said, “Su Ziyue.”
“Yeah?” She lifted her head in confusion but was met with a forceful kiss instead.
He suddenly kissed her, and when she came to her senses, she heard him said in a low voice, “Don’t play dumb. What I said yesterday was all true, and I want you to consider it seriously.”
He emphasized the word ‘consider’ with a hint of threat in his tone.
It was as if he would make her pay if she didn’t agree to it.
She had lost all her shyness and stood up with a cold snort. Smiling slyly, she said, “President Qin, don’t worry. I’ll consider it seriously.”
She also emphasized the word ‘consider’.
Qin Muchen understood what was behind her smile, and his expression immediately darkened as he didn’t say a word.
That dissatisfied expression again!
Where did that narcissistic drunken man who kept clinging onto me go?
Does he think he’s the only one who can be displeased?
Su Ziyue pursed her lips and left the room.
Qin Muchen watched her leave as he frowned and then laughed silently to himself.
...
For the next few days, she felt that her days were light and full of happiness.
Ever since their conversation in the dining room, he had become rather weird.
He kept smiling for no reason. Even though she sometimes went over the line in her interactions with him, he didn’t make any intimidating expressions. Not only did he not go to the company, but he didn’t even go to the study room.
He accompanied her almost the entire day every day. Whatever she did, he did too. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
One morning, after the two of them had breakfast, Su Ziyue prepared to walk her dog.
Seeing that Qin Muchen followed her, she asked curiously, “You don’t have to go to the company today as well?”
He hasn’t gone to the company for a few weeks. Is that really okay?
He’s the president, isn’t he very busy?
“I’m not busy,” Qin Muchen said without any expression.
Really?
Su Ziyue felt sorry for Nan Chuan in her heart. Yesterday, Nan Chuan had called her to ask whether Qin Muchen had any intention of going to the company or to Lumiere Jade House to deal with some matters.
Poor Nan Chuan.
Su Ziyue said helplessly, “Then we’ll go together.”
But as they came to the main door, Qin Muchen picked up a call and then told her that he wouldn’t be able to go with her.
Hence, Su Ziyue ended up walking Beef by herself.
...
Beef ran excitedly along the road as Su Ziyue tugged on the leash with some effort.
As they stopped to breathe, a man riding a motorbike stopped beside them as well.
“Hello, are you Miss Su Ziyue?”
Su Ziyue restrained Beef, who was excited, as she turned toward him. “Yes, anything?”
“These are the flowers that a gentleman had ordered from our shop. Please sign for it.” The man handed a box of flowers to her as he spoke.
