Marry Me Quick

Chapter 294

Both of them were stunned. A look of surprise flashed across Gu Hanyan’s eyes as she asked in a questioning tone, “Why are you here?”

Su Ziyue pressed her lips together. Instead of answering Gu Hanyan first, she side-eyed Beef and said, “Beef, come over and go back to your room.”

Beef reluctantly snorted twice while blocking the door, but it eventually moved away under Su Ziyue’s stern gaze. Gu Hanyan glanced into the house first, but she did not see Qin Muchen. After that, she asked impatiently, “Didn’t you hear my question?”

“Am I obliged to answer your questions? You don’t seem to have such power,” said Su Ziyue with a cold snort before she turned around and went inside. The scene right now was undoubtedly embarrassing, but even she couldn’t explain what had brought her here.

“Su Ziyue!” Gu Hanyan called Su Ziyue’s name with an audibly threatening tone in her voice as she followed Su Ziyue closely.

Qin Muchen happened to walk out of the kitchen at that very moment. His gaze fell upon Su Ziyue first before he saw Gu Hanyan, who was walking behind her.

“Muchen,” said Gu Hanyan as she strode past Su Ziyue to Qin Muchen’s side. Then, she said with a smile, “I’m here at such a late hour because I was tied up until now.” Her voice was neither loud nor soft; it was just audible enough for Su Ziyue to hear.

Did Qin Muchen have a prior engagement with Gu Hanyan? In that case, why would he ask me to stay for dinner? Su Ziyue thought to herself.

“You don’t have to come over if you’re so busy,” said Qin Muchen impatiently. Then, he took a step toward Su Ziyue and said, “Dinner is ready. Come and have it.”

Gu Hanyan’s face fell in an instant.

“You may leave first if you don’t have any business with me—I still have things to do.” Qin Muchen glanced back at Gu Hanyan before dragging Su Ziyue toward the dining room.

Before Su Ziyue could withdraw her hand from his, they heard Gu Hanyan asking, “I visited Grandpa several days ago, and he was talking about you. When will you go back to visit him?”

Gu Hanyan did not believe that Qin Muchen would still be indifferent to her at the mention of Qin Yuchuan. Upon hearing Gu Hanyan mentioning Qin Yuchuan, Su Ziyue immediately withdrew her hand, and the air around her turned cold at once. Qin Muchen frowned slightly as his face darkened a little.

He looked at Gu Hanyan and said, “It’s my Grandpa that you are talking about; when I go back to visit him is none of your concern, for that is naturally within my plan.”

Even though Qin Muchen had always been indifferent to Gu Hanyan, the latter could no longer keep her composure when he made her lose face in Su Ziyue’s presence at that very moment. “Muchen, in any case, we’re engaged to each other; you’re my fiancé by name. I know that you like playing around, but there must be a limit to it…”

Before Gu Hanyan could finish her sentence, Qin Muchen interrupted her with a look of disgust as he said, “Su Ziyue is my wife.” As soon as he uttered the sentence, the entire living hall fell into a strange silence.

Su Ziyue turned to look at Qin Muchen with mixed feelings inside her. Qin Muchen might’ve had other reasons for getting engaged to Gu Hanyan back then, but what difference did it make?

“Just how many people know that Su Ziyue is your wife? Everyone knows that you’re my fiancé.” Gu Hanyan tucked the hair behind her ears as she slowly continued, “You know that I’m being followed by countless paparazzi every day. They want to photograph some unusual stories, so if they take pictures of you and Su Ziyue together, everyone will have a preconceived idea that she is the other woman in our relationship no matter how hard you and I try to get the facts straight.”

Qin Muchen’s face turned as black as thunder after listening to Gu Hanyan’s words.

Adding fuel to the fire, Gu Hanyan added, “Don’t forget that you were the one who proposed that we get engaged back then.”

Su Ziyue immediately turned to look at Qin Muchen. She knew that she was right from the very beginning; Qin Muchen wasn’t driven to a point where he had no other choice. Instead, when he could make choices, he chose to get engaged to Gu Hanyan to solve his predicament back then. Even though the idea of reconciling with Qin Muchen had emerged in her mind, that idea went up in smoke at that very moment. She was a person whom he could abandon anytime. Other than that, she meant nothing else to him. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Qin Muchen, of course, also knew that Gu Hanyan’s words were ambiguous, but what she had said

was true. He then said with a straight face, “That’s enough. Get out of here!”

“Since you don’t welcome me, I’ll be leaving right now. I feel sorry for Grandpa, though. I wonder how mad he will be if he finds out that you’re still entangled with this woman,” said Gu Hanyan with a triumphant smirk. Even though she had no idea why Qin Yuchuan suddenly hated Su Ziyue so much, she thought she had to let Su Ziyue know how much Qin Yuchuan hated her. With that, she turned and left before Qin Muchen lashed out again.

…

Gu Hanyan had left, whereas Beef was in its room, leaving only Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue in the spacious living hall. Qin Muchen turned to look at Su Ziyue, whose heels weren’t very high as she wore them to work. She would only reach his lips if she stood together with him. Even though she was standing right in front of him, he had a feeling that they were growing infinitely further and further apart. After what seemed like an eternity, Qin Muchen spoke first in a hoarse voice, “Say something, Su Ziyue.”

“You’re the one who asked me to say something, so don’t be mad at what I’m going to say.” Su Ziyue took a step back before looking up at Qin Muchen frostily. “I just want to know what do you think of your double identity? You keep putting off our divorce while getting engaged with Gu Hanyan at the same time.” She looked at Qin Muchen with a sneer and a look of disgust in her eyes.

Qin Muchen’s tense face did not relax at all. Instead, it tensed up even further after he listened to her words. He said in a low voice, “Give me some time, and I’ll deal with these matters.”

“Let’s get a divorce, Qin Muchen. Stop pestering me; it’s both meandering and meaningless to do this.” Su Ziyue took a deep breath as if she had made an important decision. Then, she slowly continued, “If

you had really wanted to deal with these things, wasn’t two years enough for you? Do you know how disgusting and off-putting you look right now?” Su Ziyue was close to tears as she smiled. “Let’s save face for each other and stop putting things off. Otherwise, do you really want things to end up the way Gu Hanyan said? One day, someone might take pictures of us, and I’ll be accused of being the other woman.”

Compared to her and Qin Muchen, a relationship between him and Gu Hanyan was more acceptable to the public. If the relationship between the three of them were really exposed one day, she would be in the worst predicament. Qin Muchen was backed by Qin Yuchuan, the Mogwin Family, and LK Group. He and Gu Hanyan had appeared in a live interview together, and everyone knew they were a well- matched couple who had known each other for over ten years…
