Chapter 281
Feeling numb after consuming too much alcohol, Su Ziyue was in a semi-conscious state.
In a daze, she traveled back to the day when she regained consciousness in the hospital two years ago.
The nurse told her that she had lost her child.
“No…”
Qin Muchen’s face hardened and he returned to the bed at once. Lowering his head to check Su Ziyue’s expression, he called her softly, “Su Ziyue…”
“My child…”
While mumbling, Su Ziyue furrowed her brows; her beautiful face was now filled with agony, making her look miserable.
When Qin Muchen reached out to smoothen her frown, he furrowed his brows instead.
Then, he pulled her into his arms and bent down to hear what she was mumbling about. However, she did not speak anymore and began to calm down after he gently patted on her back.
After a while, he heard her breathing evenly.
Qin Muchen only tucked her back into bed after making sure that she was sound asleep.
However, what exactly is she suffering about?
Outside the door, Beef was whining.
Qin Muchen walked over and opened the door.
Crouching down, he patted Beef’s head and said softly, “Be a good boy and go downstairs. She’s asleep now.”
Beef seemed to understand his words because it just turned around and trotted downstairs.
…
Su Ziyue had a serious headache when she woke up.
Hangovers are torturous.
When she turned over and sat up, the first thing she saw was the familiar nightdress on her.
Nonetheless, she did not change into this by herself!
After getting down from the bed, she turned her head thoughtlessly and saw a cartoon drawing.
It was a cartoon drawn by Qin Muchen two years ago.
Since Qin Muchen had only used premium materials when creating this, the drawing still looked new and did not turn yellow at all.
The bedroom door opened with a creak just when she was lost in her thoughts.
“You’re awake—come down and have some breakfast.”
Qin Muchen was already in a suit, and there was a glint in his eyes when he saw her rather low-cut nightdress and her swaying breasts underneath it.
Even a loose nightdress could not hide a woman’s fine figure.
Upon noticing Qin Muchen’s gaze, Su Ziyue’s face darkened and she quickly turned around. She then said coldly, “How can you bring me to your house!”
“This is our home,” Qin Muchen said and walked downstairs without any further explanation.
Su Ziyue stamped her foot angrily after she heard the door close, and detest flashed across her eyes when she looked in the direction of the door.
…
Su Ziyue could not wear the clothes she wore yesterday again.
…
Su Ziyue could not weor the clothes she wore yesterdoy ogoin.
She wos unsure of Qin Muchen’s relotionship with Gu Honyon over the lost two yeors.
Hence, she wos stortled upon seeing her clothes being unmoved in the wordrobe.
When she chonged into one of them, she noticed thot it hod become quite loose for her.
No wonder Feng Xingyon hos been telling me thot I wos too skinny these two yeors. I’ve reolly lost o lot of weight.
After wolking downstoirs, she cost o glonce ot the dining room before wolking right out of the house.
Who even wonts to hove breokfost with him?!
Why do I need to listen to everything he soys?
We’re not in the medievol times, ond he’s not o king either!
However, Qin Muchen wos olreody woiting for her ot the door when she wolked out of the house. This mode her foce dorken ot once.
Wory floshed ocross her foce ond she wonted to leove by wolking post Qin Muchen.
Surprisingly, Qin Muchen did not block her woy but soid something confusing, “Do you remember whot you soid lost night when you were drunk?”
Su Ziyue’s foce turned pole ot once.
When she wos still in the Jingcheng City, she remembered thot there wos one time when Feng Xingyon brought her out for o stroll ofter she hod woken up from o hongover.
Loter, she only knew thot Feng Xingyon hod octuolly heord her tolking obout her child ond wonted to console her.
However, her child wos olwoys her hidden scor.
A chill ron down Su Ziyue’s spine just when she thought obout the possibility of her mentioning her child when she wos drunk lost night.
At the time, Qin Muchen olreody did not believe thot the child belonged to him…
u Ziyue plostered o smile on her foce. “Who would remember the things they soy when they ore drunk? Why ore you toking it so seriously?”
There wos hotred in Su Ziyue’s eyes for o second.
However, Qin Muchen still noticed it.
He did not stop Su Ziyue; it wos out of his expectotion thot his thoughtless question would moke Su Ziyue become so ogitoted.
There must be something wrong obout this.
As he looked in the direction where Su Ziyue hod left, Qin Muchen took out his phone ond gove Non Chuon o coll. “Go ond investigote everything thot hoppened thot yeor ogoin.”
Whot incident did he miss thot yeor?
…
Su Ziyue only hoiled o cob ofter wolking for o distonce.
After costing o glonce behind her to moke sure thot Qin Muchen wos not following, she finolly got into the cob.
She told the driver her oportment’s oddress ond leoned her heod ogoinst the cor window.
…
Su Ziyue could not wear the clothes she wore yesterday again.
She was unsure of Qin Muchen’s relationship with Gu Hanyan over the last two years.
Hence, she was startled upon seeing her clothes being unmoved in the wardrobe.
When she changed into one of them, she noticed that it had become quite loose for her.
No wonder Feng Xingyan has been telling me that I was too skinny these two years. I’ve really lost a lot of weight.
After walking downstairs, she cast a glance at the dining room before walking right out of the house.
Who even wants to have breakfast with him?!
Why do I need to listen to everything he says?
We’re not in the medieval times, and he’s not a king either!
However, Qin Muchen was already waiting for her at the door when she walked out of the house. This made her face darken at once.
Wary flashed across her face and she wanted to leave by walking past Qin Muchen.
Surprisingly, Qin Muchen did not block her way but said something confusing, “Do you remember what you said last night when you were drunk?”
Su Ziyue’s face turned pale at once.
When she was still in the Jingcheng City, she remembered that there was one time when Feng Xingyan brought her out for a stroll after she had woken up from a hangover.
Later, she only knew that Feng Xingyan had actually heard her talking about her child and wanted to console her.
However, her child was always her hidden scar.
A chill ran down Su Ziyue’s spine just when she thought about the possibility of her mentioning her
child when she was drunk last night.
At the time, Qin Muchen already did not believe that the child belonged to him…
u Ziyue plastered a smile on her face. “Who would remember the things they say when they are drunk? Why are you taking it so seriously?”
There was hatred in Su Ziyue’s eyes for a second.
However, Qin Muchen still noticed it.
He did not stop Su Ziyue; it was out of his expectation that his thoughtless question would make Su Ziyue become so agitated.
There must be something wrong about this.
As he looked in the direction where Su Ziyue had left, Qin Muchen took out his phone and gave Nan Chuan a call. “Go and investigate everything that happened that year again.”
What incident did he miss that year?
…
Su Ziyue only hailed a cab after walking for a distance.
After casting a glance behind her to make sure that Qin Muchen was not following, she finally got into the cab.
She told the driver her apartment’s address and leaned her head against the car window.
The car stopped after some time.
“We’ve arrived, Miss!” the driver reminded her kindly, but he realized that the beautiful young woman’s face was already covered in tears after turning his gaze toward her.
The driver sighed and offered her some tissues. “Don’t be so upset, Miss. Those rich men don’t have a heart at all. You don’t need to worry about finding a partner since you’re still young and beautiful. When looking for a partner, his wealth and power isn’t all that matters. The most important thing is that he must adore you,” the driver comforted Su Ziyue.
Since Cloud Bay could only be afforded by rich and powerful people, the driver thought that Su Ziyue had been abandoned by some rich guy after seeing her leaving there and crying now.
Su Ziyue touched her face and realized that her face was already wet with tears.
Hence, she kept her head down, took the driver’s tissues, paid the fare and hurriedly got out of the car after thanking him.
Adore me?
Qin Muchen adored me in the past too.
Unfortunately, he did not adore me until the end.
Not only is his grandfather more important than me, but he also chooses to believe himself instead of me.
Yet, she could not even find the courage to hate or blame him even until now.
…
Su Ziyue fell asleep after making herself a simple meal at the apartment.
When she was only half awake, she received a call from Feng Xingyan.
“Uncle.” Su Ziyue quickly sat up upon seeing that it was a call from Feng Xingyan.
As usual, Feng Xingyan sounded kind. “Ziyue, how’s the situation at Yanyue now?”
Su Ziyue smiled. “Everything’s great. I know what I should do here, so you need not worry. Have you done the checkup that I told you to do previously?”
Throughout her two-year stay with Feng Xingyan, he had helped her a lot; this really touched her heart no matter how cold-hearted she was.
“I know it. I’ll go soon,” said Feng Xingyan before he became silent, seemingly wanting to talk about something. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Su Ziyue pursed her lips. “About the other stuff, I know what I should do as well. Take care of yourself, and I’ll visit you whenever I’m free.”
“Mm.”
The duo ended the call after talking for a few more minutes.
In the Jingcheng City, slyness flashed across Feng Xingyan’s eyes when he hung up the call.
Then, he called for his subordinate and ordered, “If there’s anyone investigating Su Ziyue, try to hide everything from them.”
“Sure,” his subordinate responded and then left.
