Chapter 224
Su Ziyue’s gaze fell onto the magazine’s cover, which had a long-haired cartoon girl printed on it. She stared at it for a few seconds before asking Qin Muchen, “Can you draw this girl on the cover?”
Qin Muchen glanced at her coldly and moved the magazine again. He continued to block her face from his sight.
The upset expression on his face was as clear as day.
Su Ziyue persistently moved her face left and right in front of him, but he kept successfully blocking her face with the magazine.
In the end, she lost her patience and went into the bathroom without a word.
After half an hour, Su Ziyue reappeared from the bathroom after her shower and noticed that Qin Muchen was holding a different magazine.
When she was a teenager, she enjoyed reading this magazine. There were two issues every month, and she always subscribed to it yearly.
The magazine Qin Muchen was holding now was issued in the same month as the previous magazine.
“You really like reading this, huh?”
Su Ziyue toweled her hair dry and went over to him out of curiosity.
As she was about to lean over and look at the content, Qin Muchen put out a hand and pushed her head away, so she pouted her lips and glared at him.
His voice was light as he asked, “Do you still keep in touch with that class monitor in your first year of high school?”
“What?” She looked confused.
Why is he bringing up the class monitor all of a sudden?
Qin Muchen narrowed his eyes as the corner of his mouth curved upward into a scoff.
Su Ziyue shivered involuntarily.
“The class monitor looked so handsome when he was running in that race today…”
“The class monitor’s smile was so gorgeous when he was taking class fees from me today…”
Su Ziyue had no idea what was going on when Qin Muchen said the first sentence but immediately realized where this was going when he recited the second sentence.
She looked awkward as she grabbed the magazine from his hand. “How could you simply look at my stuff!”
This is so embarrassing!
When she was in school, she occasionally read the magazines under her desk during class and would write whatever she was thinking about on the magazine pages.
She had almost forgotten about it after all these years. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Who knew that Qin Muchen would read them tonight?
That class monitor from her first year had left for another school in the second year. She didn’t even remember what he looked like, let alone keep in touch with him.
Qin Muchen lifted the magazine high with one hand while he grabbed Su Ziyue with another hand, pulling her into his embrace. His expression was cold as he said, “Whatever’s mine is yours, and whatever’s yours is mine.”
Is this a tongue twister? Yours and mine?
Su Ziyue struggled in his arms. “Give it to me!”
Qin Muchen’s eyes darkened as he said slowly, “Sure, I’ll give it to you.”
He threw the magazine away after speaking.
Then, he rolled and pressed his body onto hers. As he did so, he carefully held her back with his palm.
She suddenly understood what he was trying to do and shouted frantically, “G-Get off me!”
Qin Muchen smiled deeply and moved his hand toward a specific spot.
Su Ziyue’s face burned red as she shouted, “H-Hooligan!”
“I will prove to you now that I am indeed a hooligan…”
As she fell asleep after the tiring act, she suddenly realized that he wasn’t angry because he had seen Gong Zeyang talking to her in the corridor. He was actually jealous of what she had written in the magazines in the past!
...
The next morning.
As Su Ziyue had been ‘punished’ severely by a jealous Qin Muchen the night before, she did not wake the slightest when Qin Muchen got up from the bed.
He quickly went through his morning routine before leaving the room quietly.
As he neared the stairs, he met Su Youcheng.
“Old Master Su.”
Qin Muchen bowed slightly. Although he was respectful toward him both in his greeting and action, Su Youcheng had a feeling that he was contemptuous.
This made Su Youcheng, who was already displeased about Qin Muchen’s ‘identity’, even more uncomfortable, so he grunted in response and went downstairs.
Qin Muchen followed him leisurely. His tall figure and extremely handsome face made the maids who passed by him give him sidelong glances.
There were even maids who were whispering softly to each other, “Miss Ziyue’s boyfriend is so handsome!”
“It’s her husband. They’re already married. But I feel that Mr. Gong looks better!”
“It’s his aura! Do you know what aura is? It’s… like having a halo around him! A halo!”
Qin Muchen pretended not to hear all the whisperings going on around him.
However, Su Youcheng felt uneasy after hearing this.
Su Ziyue is becoming more and more impudent nowadays. She even has the cheek to threaten me!
She seems to have a great relationship with this Qin Muchen...
As he was thinking about this, he turned and told Qin Muchen, “Come and accompany me for a walk outside.”
Qin Muchen didn’t respond but agreed tacitly.
Su Youcheng felt even more uneasy inside. He felt that Qin Muchen was cocky in front of him by not
even calling him ‘grandpa’, as if he was looking down on the entire Su Family.
The two of them left the villa. After they were some distance away, Su Youcheng finally said, “Do you know that Ziyue’s performance is outstanding in the company?”
“I don’t ask much about her work.” Qin Muchen knew everything, so he never felt the need to ask.
“She is very close to the LK Group’s president. She even managed to sign on a huge proposal.”
Su Youcheng slowed down as he spoke. Then he turned to look at Qin Muchen’s expression.
Hearing this, Qin Muchen nodded approvingly and said with a serious face, “Yue’s natural talent is lacking, but she is extremely hardworking and diligent. Perhaps she may even surpass me in the future.”
Su Youcheng was so angry at his words that he couldn’t stop coughing.
He was sure that Su Ziyue and the president of LK Group had something going on between them. Thus, he told Qin Muchen all this in hopes that he would become suspicious of Su Ziyue.
But Qin Muchen did not seem to become suspicious of Su Ziyue the way he had anticipated!
Qin Muchen appeared not to have noticed that Su Youcheng was angry. He asked encouragingly, “What do you think, Old Master Su?”
“Hmph!” Su Youcheng snorted coldly and asked him with a stern expression, “No matter what, you’re Ziyue’s husband now. You haven’t even called me ‘grandpa’. Are you looking down on me?”
“Of course not.” Qin Muchen’s respectful expression disappeared from his face as his gaze darkened. “I’m just concerned that you’re not worthy of it.”
Rage rose in Su Youcheng’s heart as he shouted, “What do you mean by that?!”
“It means whatever you think it means.”
Qin Muchen didn’t care about how angry Su Youcheng was. After all, there was not much love between him and Su Ziyue. Although LK Group was still collaborating with Su Group, it was only a small matter, and he didn’t care much about it.
Su Youcheng was so furious that he kept pointing at Qin Muchen, but nothing came out of his mouth.
Qin Muchen casually raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Thinking that Su Ziyue was probably awake now, he turned to return to the Su Residence.
He and Su Youcheng walked back to the villa silently. One of them looked normal, while the other looked exasperated.
When the maids saw them, nobody dared to speak.
Qin Muchen went straight up the stairs.
Before he could reach out and open the door, the door opened from the inside.
With this, Qin Muchen collided with Gong Zeyang, who was coming out of the room.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
Awkwardness flashed across Gong Zeyang’s face.
Qin Muchen was startled for two seconds. As he came back to his senses, he reached out and grabbed Gong Zeyang’s collar. Pulling him by the collar forcefully, Qin Muchen threw him out of the room.
