Marry Me Quick

Chapter 293

Upon hearing Qin Muchen’s words, Su Ziyue forced a smile and said, “In that case, I shall thank you in advance for your kindness, Mr. Qin.”

In reality, the scene right now was very familiar to her, for she also knew him as LK Group’s President when she first discovered his identity back then. Moreover, they were also at loggerheads at that time.

This time, though, there was still something different, for their conflicts were now the least of the problems between them.

Qin Muchen smiled as well, but his smile gave no clue about his sincerity and emotions. “You’re welcome, Miss Su. Since we know each other, we can be friends.”

His words rendered Su Ziyue speechless.

…

Su Ziyue and Yanyue Media’s President saw Qin Muchen to the company’s ground floor together before returning to their respective offices.

As they were inside the elevator, Yanyue Media’s President said with a sigh, “Mr. Qin is so young and promising.”

“Yeah,” answered Su Ziyue flatly as she wasn’t in the right mood.

The President glanced at her with a look of hesitation before he finally asked, “I heard before that you’re close friends with Mr. Qin’s fiancée, aren’t you?”

Su Ziyue’s uninterested look was instantly replaced by a darkened expression when she heard the President’s words.

Just then, the elevator door happened to open.

The President’s office was a floor above Su Ziyue’s. She pressed the elevator buttons when they entered the elevator, so the elevator was stopping on the 21st floor at that moment.

Su Ziyue looked at the President with a smile as if she did not hear what he had said. “You have arrived, President.”

Not only couldn’t she answer his question, but she also did not want to answer it.

Gu Hanyan was Qin Muchen’s fiancée and her love rival in the past. She wasn’t good at lying about these matters, so she might as well not say anything.

The President could also tell that Su Ziyue was unwilling to answer his question. He was somewhat displeased, for he felt that Su Ziyue thought too highly of herself. However, he said nothing further upon thinking about her connections.

Su Ziyue waited until the President left the elevator to press the elevator button to the 20th floor, heading back to her own office.

…

Meanwhile, Qin Muchen did not go back to his office or his home right away. Instead, he went to Lumiere Jade Palace.

Watching as Qin Muchen entered his office, Nan Chuan craned his neck to look over the former’s shoulder, yet he did not see anything.

He made a cup of coffee himself and took it inside to serve Qin Muchen. After placing the cup of coffee in front of him, he then asked, “Didn’t you ask Miss Su out, Mr. Qin?”

“Yeah, I didn’t.” Qin Muchen looked dejected as he took a sip of the coffee. Then, he continued, “She’ll come to me.”

Nan Chuan went out silently while holding the serving tray.

Mr. Qin has put a great deal of effort into dating and soothing his wife, he thought to himself. I don’t think there’s a big problem between Mr. Qin and Miss Su, but I wonder why their relationship has come to such a point.

…

Su Ziyue worked overtime in her office until it was very late at night, and the rain was pattering when she left.

Springtime was a damp season.

She stretched out her hand to catch a few raindrops. Luckily, the rain wasn’t heavy, so she could walk to the parking lot.

By the time she drove out of the parking lot, the rain had gotten heavier.

Su Ziyue drove very slowly. When she recalled what had happened that afternoon when Qin Muchen went to the company, she felt agitated again; she felt that something was wrong no matter what she thought.

Was there a necessity for Qin Muchen to invest in Yanyue Media on his initiative right now? Of course not.

Yanyue Media’s predecessor was an entertainment company who could no longer run its business due to its owner’s poor management. Because of that, Feng Xingyan bought out the company at a low price.

After two years had passed, Yanyue Media’s business improved a little, and the company had begun rising to prominence in Yunzhou City.

Even though Yanyue Media had some reputation in the industry, it wasn’t renowned to the extent that a large company like LK Group would offer to collaborate with it.

Subconsciously, she still thought that Qin Muchen must be doing it on purpose.

Her mind wandered as she thought along the journey. Before she came to her senses, she had driven to Cloud Bay.

Habits are such a terrifying thing, she thought to herself.

She stopped in front of the entrance to the villa.

The entire villa was brightly lit, which meant that Qin Muchen was home. After thinking for a moment, Su Ziyue opened the car door and got out of the car.

The ice-cold rain fell on her eyelids, making her squint.

Just then, a shaking silhouette rushed toward her.

Woof! It was Beef.

Su Ziyue panicked at once. Right after that, she heard Qin Muchen’s voice from behind. “Beef.”

Qin Muchen’s figure came into Su Ziyue’s sight before she could get into the car. Even though all she could see was the shape of his face, she still felt an uncontrollable urge to hide.

“You’re here.” Qin Muchen stopped three steps away from her.

Su Ziyue had no idea what made her come to this place as well. It would seem unnecessary if she left at this moment, so she straightened her back and said slowly, “There’s something that I would like to talk to you about face-to-face.”

“What a coincidence; I also have something to talk to you about. Come in,” said Qin Muchen before he walked into the villa.

Su Ziyue followed him, whereas Beef circled around her and was unwilling to leave even after she entered the living room.

Qin Muchen poured her a glass of water and asked her, “Have you had dinner?”

“Yes,” Su Ziyue lied without turning a hair. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Qin Muchen tilted his head to one side with a faint smile. “In that case, would you mind having some food with me?”

Qin Muchen seldom behaved like this; he was neither overbearing nor indifferent, which left her at a loss for what to do.

“I’ll take it as a yes from you,” said Qin Muchen before his gaze fell on Beef, who was sitting next to Su Ziyue.

Upon sensing Qin Muchen’s gaze, Beef pricked its ears up and straightened its back like an elementary schooler.

Then, Qin Muchen added, “Please look after Beef for a while on my behalf. Thank you.”

With that, he went into the kitchen before Su Ziyue could say anything else.

Su Ziyue opened her mouth, but seeing that Qin Muchen had entered the kitchen without looking back, she could only bow her head to look at Beef.

Beef tilted its head to one side while staring at her with its watery eyes.

After Su Ziyue rubbed Beef’s head, Beef leaned on her affectionately as though it was boneless.

Su Ziyue understood what Beef meant by doing so. She flicked its ear and said, “Now that you have grown to such a big size, how could you ask me to lift you up?”

Nobody knew if Beef understood what she said, for it still leaned on her with all its might. In the end, she could only lift it up.

Then, she looked around the villa’s furnishings.

This was the second time she had entered the villa since she returned to Yunzhou City.

She had been brought into the villa by Qin Muchen after getting drunk last time, so she did not take a closer look when she left. This time, she realized that the villa’s furnishings had changed back to the time when she had just moved in.

The things Qin Yuchuan had brought inside back then were already gone, making the villa seem quiet and desolate.

It looked as though Gu Hanyan did not stay here. At the very least, she did not stay in the same room with Qin Muchen, for Su Ziyue had discovered last time that her previous clothes were still there.

So what? Memories are always a thing of the past, Su Ziyue thought to herself.

Su Ziyue put Beef down after hugging it for a while.

As soon as Beef returned to the floor, it barked and ran toward the door.

“Beef!” Su Ziyue called as she went after it.

As soon as she walked to the front door, she ran into Gu Hanyan, who was coming in from the outside.
