Marry Me Quick

Chapter 313

Lu Shichu knew Su Ziyue very well. He knew from her expression that Qin Muchen never really brought up his mother to her.

“Ziyue, when someone purposely avoids a topic, that means that he either has something to hide, or he thinks that it’s an unnecessary thing to talk about.”

Lu Shichu had an aggressive edge to it.

Su Ziyue didn’t like Lu Shichu when he was being like this. She thought that Lu Shichu was currently being biased. However, he wasn’t typically like this.

Unless...

Su Ziyue whipped her head to look at him and asked, “Shichu, do you know something?”

Lu Shichu stiffened for a moment. “What?”

“You’re not someone who’d say something just for the sake of it. You must know something. That’s why you’re telling me this, right?”

Su Ziyue was looking at him solemnly.

Lu Shichu’s expression shifted subtly.

He did indeed know a few things, but he wasn’t sure about the entire truth either. He was already sure that Qin Muchen had some other hidden motive, so he wouldn’t just stand by and watch her continue to stay with Qin Muchen. And yet, Lu Shichu wasn’t quite sure how he should answer Su Ziyue’s question.

Su Ziyue immediately knew what he was thinking when she caught sight of Lu Shichu’s expression. She languidly said, “You were saying that Qin Muchen is hiding things from me? Aren’t you the same?”

Half a beat later, Lu Shichu spoke up. “Qin Muchen’s mother is Qin Li!”

He didn’t know where he should start his explanation when he saw how Su Ziyue still looked like she didn’t comprehend him. He simply tossed out a ‘that’s what I know’ before leaving.

Lu Shichu may have left in a hurry, but he left Su Ziyue with a bundle of questions.

Su Ziyue was still thinking about Lu Shichu’s earlier words even when she reached home.

Qin Muchen was currently cooking in the kitchen. He was so focused on his cooking that he didn’t notice that Su Ziyue was back.

Su Ziyue walked over and stood by the entrance to the kitchen for a while before approaching Qin Muchen from the back. She then encircled him with her arms. Qin Muchen was in the middle of chopping some meat, and he stopped when she did so. He turned his head to look at her. “You’re back?”

“Yep.” Su Ziyue’s gaze landed on the beef that he had been slicing.

She released him and then washed her hands before taking the knife from him. “I’ll cook. You probably have a lot of stuff to work on.”

Yanyue Contents Media was an absolutely miniscule company compared to the behemoth that was the LK Group. If she was busy, then what did that make Qin Muchen’s workload?

Qin Muchen stood behind her, watching as she sliced the beef with ease. He had a complicated expression on his face. He felt as though his child had suddenly grown up in a blink of an eye. He wasn’t thrilled, merely surprised.

“I’m not busy. Let me help you wash the ingredients.”

Qin Muchen ultimately stayed behind to help with dinner. Su Ziyue kept wanting to ask him about his mother, but she wasn’t able to bring it up. She realized that people grew even more hesitant the more they developed themselves.

Things have flipped since the press conference that was held after news about Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue had spread. People were outright entertained by it.

However, Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen weren’t affected by it much.

Despite all that, Su Ziyue’s mentioning of how she walked out on Qin Muchen because he thought of sending their dog away became a hot topic.

Headlines such as ‘The Chairman’s Wife Is a Kind Woman’, ‘Dogs Over People’ and ‘Mr. Qin Did Wrong, But He Still Apologized’ spread all over the Internet like wildfire.

Su Ziyue couldn’t figure out whether she should laugh at this.

She held her phone before Qin Muchen’s eyes. “Look, everyone’s standing up for you.”

Qin Muchen scrolled through a few pages before suddenly bursting into laughter.

Su Ziyue was unamused.

“What are you laughing at?” As she spoke, she leaned in to look at the screen only to see the comment sections under the article.

‘Mr. Qin, don’t be shy. Just take charge if you’re a man. When it comes to women, you just need to clap cheeks with them and all will be forgiven!’

There was a human conga line emoji underneath that comment.

Qin Muchen didn’t quite know what that commenter meant by ‘clapping cheeks’, but he had a rough idea what it was.

Su Ziyue’s face reddened and she snatched the phone back to lock it. “What is this?”

The smile on Qin Muchen’s face deepened. He leaned in to press himself against her forehead and asked, “What did they mean when they said ‘clap cheeks’?”

Su Ziyue raised her hand and hit his head with a loud ‘smack’ before replying calmly, “That’s ‘clapping cheeks’. Still, I’m not going to let you hear the end of this if you raise your hand against me.”

With that, Su Ziyue got up and yelled, “Beef, time for your walk.”

Woof woof…

Beef popped out of nowhere a moment later to circle Su Ziyue happily a few times before following her out.

Qin Muchen pursed his lips before logging into his alternate Twitter account. He hopped onto the topic ‘dogs over people’ and posted a Tweet.

‘How do I get rid of the family dog in secret without letting my wife know?’

Comments flooded in the moment he posted that.

‘You’re in the same situation as Mr. Qin?’

‘Guys, we’ve cracked Mr. Qin’s alt!’

‘Mr. Chairman, I’m your little minx!’

Qin Muchen was speechless at those comments. He had to be mad to post such a thing.

He deleted that Tweet with a hard look on his face before heading out to look for Su Ziyue and Beef.

The days trickled by. Su Ziyue’s life was no different than when she first returned. She simply lived her life in a different place. She may have gone to live in Cloud Bay again, but she hadn’t brought her

belongings from her apartment over.

When noon came, Su Ziyue went out to eat. Just as she was about to head back to the company, she saw Su Yige stalk over to her. It had been a while since she last saw the other woman.

“Su Ziyue!” Su Yige noticed her at once.

Su Ziyue folded her arms and looked at Su Yige. “Looking for me?”

Su Ziyue wasn’t sure whether Su Yige heard her, because Su Yige went off on her own tangent. “Su Ziyue, this is all your doing, isn’t it? You’re already living so well, so why did you have to hurt me? I’ve never met such a depraved person like you before!”

Su Ziyue’s face darkened. She chuckled and then said, “You just can’t see your own face. That’s why you don’t know just how depraved you are.” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You!” Su Yige’s face paled with anger, stumbling from the weight of her emotions before she finally steadied herself.

Su Ziyue watched Su Yige silently, taking in her actions.

Did Su Yige just claim that she had hurt her?

“When have I hurt you?” Su Ziyue smirked coldly. “I haven’t even started yet, dear cousin.”

“You know how much I love Zeyang. The child in my belly is clearly his. You’re the one who bribed the doctors and forged the paternity results. You’re the one responsible for that!”

Su Yige’s eyes were nearly bulging out of their sockets as she glared at Su Ziyue, as though she wished to burn two holes into Su Ziyue from the heat of her stare.
