Chapter 321
Su Ziyue did not know what could have happened to force Qin Muchen, a man who was so powerful that he was almost omnipotent, to suffer an emotional breakdown.
When Nan Chuan heard Su Ziyue’s words, he was obviously shaken.
He hesitated for a while more and said, “It’s...It’s about the incident back then.”
“Back then?” Su Ziyue was a little confused. “What happened back then?”
However, Nan Chuan looked reluctant to tell her.
He knew that that incident was a bad memory for Su Ziyue, so he didn’t want to mention it if possible.
After careful consideration, Nan Chuan said, “I think you should wait for Mr. Qin to tell you by himself. This matter involves the both of you, so you need to discuss it among yourselves. There is one thing I must tell you though. You are the person he cares about most, both two years ago and now. He would rather hurt himself than hurt you.”
Hearing this from an outsider, Su Ziyue had an indescribable feeling.
However, since Nan Chuan didn’t want to tell her, she wouldn’t force him to.
She smiled and said, “Alright, I understand. Thank you, Nan Chuan.”
Nan Chuan nodded slightly.
He found that Su Ziyue had changed a lot since two years ago.
Before this, he felt that Su Ziyue had become more indifferent, but at this moment, he felt that she was actually a very gentle person.
These two feelings were quite contradictory.
……
When Qin Muchen returned home after he took Beef out for a stroll, he found that Su Ziyue had not yet returned.
At this moment, the sound of a car engine sounded outside the door.
He strode to the door with a grim look on his face.
She came home so late!
However, when he walked to the gate, he discovered that it was not Su Ziyue who had come back. Instead, Bai Jingshu had arrived along with An Xia.
An Xia held the beautifully-packaged wine in her hand which was probably a gift from Bai Jingshu.
Seeing Qin Muchen’s dark expression, An Xia swallowed nervously. “Hello, Mr. Qin!”
Qin Muchen nodded and then said to Bai Jingshu, “Why are you here?”
“It’s the weekend, and I feel sad and lonely being at home alone, so I came to your house to steal your food!” Bai Jingshu said as he walked toward An Xia.
After walking to An Xia, he raised his arm to put it around An Xia’s shoulders.
An Xia had been his secretary for two years, so she knew Bai Jingshu’s personality well. Seeing him like this, she already knew what he was going to do.
She then moved aside quietly.
Bai Jingshu tsked and violently stretched out his hand to take over the two bottles of wine in her hand. “Why are you avoiding me? It’s not like I’m going to eat you! Isn’t the wine heavy?! Let me take it!”
An Xia glared at him.
Meanwhile, Qin Muchen just ignored their bickering and turned to look at An Xia. “Where is Su Ziyue?”
“I had tea with her in the afternoon, and then we went our separate ways. Hasn’t she come home?”
An Xia trailed off when she saw Qin Muchen’s expression getting increasingly dark.
Bai Jingshu stepped forward in a timely manner and stood in front of An Xia. He then turned around and glanced at her. “Call Su Ziyue and ask her where she is.”
An Xia was preparing to call Su Ziyue when Qin Muchen’s cell phone rang.
Qin Muchen’s expression was gloomy just now, but when he saw that the call was from Su Ziyue, he looked cheerful all of a sudden.
He answered the phone and asked, “When will you be back?”
“I’m on the way home now. An Xia called me just now and said that she would be coming to our house for dinner with Bai Jingshu, so I went to the supermarket to buy some groceries. I will be home soon.”
“Alright. Be safe.”
After Qin Muchen hung up, he saw An Xia and Bai Jingshu staring at him, both of them looking extremely shocked.
Qin Muchen just said calmly, “Come in.”
……
When Su Ziyue returned, Qin Muchen was playing with Beef in the yard.
Su Ziyue asked, “Where are An Xia and Bai Jingshu?”
Qin Muchen walked over and took the things she was carrying. When he saw that she had bought two bottles of wine, he was a little surprised. “Why did you buy wine as well?”
Su Ziyue played with Beef while walking toward the house. Then, she answered casually, “I bought
some since I saw them at the supermarket.”
As soon as she walked into the hall, she saw An Xia chasing Bai Jingshu around the living room.
As she ran, she kept yelling, “You rascal, hooligan, pervert...”
The two had been bickering with each other for more than two years now, and yet they were still not bored with each other...
Moreover, An Xia would throw the same insults at him each time.
Beef’s eyes darted between An Xia and Bai Jingshu, then it suddenly ran over and bit onto Bai Jingshu’s trouser leg. Currently, An Xia was running toward him while the dog was tugging at his trouser leg from behind.
Then, Bai Jingshu begged for mercy pitifully.
Seeing this, Su Ziyue couldn’t help laughing, but still she deliberately scowled and yelled, “Beef, come here!”
Beef quickly released Bai Jingshu and ran over with its tail wagging before sitting in front of Su Ziyue. It tilted its head to the side and blinked its little bright eyes as if it was waiting to be praised.
Unable to resist the pleading look on its face, Su Ziyue kicked it gently and went into the kitchen with Qin Muchen.
……
They had a scrumptious meal for dinner.
The dinner was cooked by Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen together.
Bai Jingshu opened two bottles of wine before putting a bottle each in front of himself and Qin Muchen, determined to get wasted tonight.
On the other hand, Su Ziyue just pretended as if she didn’t see that and didn’t stop them. She then chatted quietly with An Xia while eating.
Later on, she and An Xia started playing rock, papers and scissors, while the two men drank according to the outcome of the game.
Su Ziyue was very unlucky today and lost more than a dozen times in a row.
Su Ziyue glanced sideways at Qin Muchen’s reddish ears and asked him in a low voice, “Can you still drink? Maybe I should stop playing rock, papers, scissors with An Xia.”
“It's okay.” Qin Muchen raised his eyes to look at her, a trace of blur in his eyes.
He had already drunk a lot with Bai Jingshu previously, and now that he was drinking so much, he was already slightly drunk.
Su Ziyue smiled and said, “Alright then.” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Then, she lost another dozen times.
When An Xia saw that the second bottle of wine in front of Qin Muchen had already been finished, she whispered to Bai Jingshu, “Mr. Qin is so pitiful...”
Bai Jingshu snorted coldly without a word.
He felt that he himself was even more pitiful.
At least Su Ziyue was concerned for Mr. Qin.
As for him, An Xia was not worried for him at all. After having her as his secretary and spending the majority of their time together for two years, they still had not progressed in their relationship...
Thinking of this, Bai Jingshu couldn’t help pouring himself a glass of wine to comfort himself for living a monk-like abstinent life for the past two years.
By the end of the dinner, Qin Muchen was completely drunk.
Bai Jingshu and Su Ziyue helped Qin Muchen back to the room. As they walked, Bai Jingshu said, “I knew it. Muchen became drunk just after two bottles of wine!”
Su Ziyue just kept mum. After putting Qin Muchen down on the bed, she finally said, “Thank you.”
“Don’t worry about it. Muchen and I have been friends for so many years. You and him are both my precious friends. Don’t hesitate to tell me if you need help in the future.”
Plus, he was also counting on Su Ziyue to help him solve his issues with An Xia.
After seeing An Xia and Bai Jingshu off, Su Ziyue boiled a pot of water and went upstairs.
