Marry Me Quick

Chapter 101

Su Ziyue flung Su Yige’s cell phone away and yelled, “Get lost!”

Su Yige bit her lips as an unreconciled look flashed across her face, but she could only pick her cell phone up in grievance since it was not up to her to say anything more under the present circumstances.

She scampered downstairs quickly since it really wasn’t suitable for her to go back to the banquet hall with how she looked right now.

The ear-piercing sound of her heels echoed through the stairwell.

When the sound of Su Yige’s heels faded away, Su Yige finally crouched down and reached out her hands to grab her hair. She panted heavily as she was down in the dumps.

She couldn’t do anything with Su Yige, and neither could she convince those who did not believe her. Even so, she couldn’t possibly be unconcerned about it.

She was merely 22 years old. Ordinary young women at this age were usually workplace rookies who had just graduated from their universities; they wouldn’t have any huge trouble in their lives other than their jobs and relationships.

On the contrary, Su Ziyue had gone through misfortunes in her life and seen the ugliness of human nature, doomed to never live a simple life.

…

Standing outside the door, Qin Muchen lifted his wrist to check his watch only to realize that things had seemingly quietened down inside even though only less than ten minutes had passed.

He pushed the door open and entered to see Su Ziyue squatting on the floor, looking like a total mess.

He took off his suit jacket and draped it over Su Ziyue’s shoulders. Then, he squatted down in front of her so that their eyes were level before uttering softly, “Let’s go home.”

Su Ziyue did not say a word, so Qin Muchen took it as a yes. He reached for Su Ziyue’s handbag, which she had flung aside while scuffling with Su Yige a while ago, and picked it up before helping Su Ziyue to her feet.

Su Ziyue nestled herself in his arms submissively. She looked very obedient—like some abandoned little animal that aroused pity in an unnoticeable way.

What did Su Yige say to her that made her look like she had lost her soul? Qin Muchen wondered. Even though he had some doubts, he did not ask her; instead, he merely turned around and brought her downstairs.

If they were to take the elevator on this floor, they had to cross the banquet hall to go out, but it was obvious that Su Ziyue couldn’t go back there again in her present state. Nonetheless, he had achieved his purpose of coming to the banquet that day, so he decided to take Su Ziyue one floor below to take the elevator.

…

As soon as Qin Muchen brought her back to the car, he received a call from Bai Jingshu. The latter asked, “Where are you?”

Qin Muchen was fastening Su Ziyue’s seat belt. Upon hearing Bai Jingshu’s question over the phone, he replied flatly, “Going home.”

Bai Jingshu swore something on the other end of the phone after hearing Qin Muchen’s answer. Then, he continued, “It was you who wanted to attend the meeting in the first place—how can you leave the banquet halfway? Sh*t, I can’t leave now because I’m being pestered!”

“Uh-huh.” Qin Muchen did not seem to notice the angry tone in Bai Jingshu’s voice. Seeing that Su Ziyue was staring at him, he reached out to stroke her head while speaking into the phone, “I’m hanging up first.”

“Hello?” Bai Jingshu, who hadn’t finished his sentence on the other end of the line, wanted to hurl his cell phone right away.

Qin Muchen hung up and tossed his cell phone aside before pinching Su Ziyue’s face. “You haven’t eaten your fill yet, have you? Would you like to eat something before we go home?”

“I’d like to go home and eat whatever you make,” replied Su Ziyue as she nestled herself into Qin Muchen’s suit jacket—which was still draped over her shoulders—as much as she could.

Qin Muchen couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of what she was doing. He leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the lips. “Alright, I’ll make you whatever you want to eat.”

Staring at his handsome face, Su Ziyue blurted out the words on the tip of her tongue. “You’re so wonderful.”

Qin Muchen was startled. He focused his attention on her and asked, “Wonderful? In what way?”

Su Ziyue tilted her head as though she was giving it careful thought. Then, she answered, “You’re wonderful in every way.”

Compared to the Su Family’s members, Qin Muchen was truly kind to her in every way.

Qin Muchen raised his brows. “Didn’t you say that I was bad to you last night?”

“Last night?” As soon as she blurted out the words, Su Ziyue turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Qin Muchen gave a light chuckle and drove home.

…

Soon, their car stopped in front of their villa.

Qin Muchen opened the car door and stepped out of the car before walking toward the passenger’s side to open the car door for her. He looked at Su Ziyue—who was still sitting in the passenger seat with her seat belt unfastened—and said, “Get out of the car.”

Su Ziyue turned her head to stare at him with her eyes that looked like two serene lakes. “My leg is a

little painful.”

Qin Muchen’s heart fluttered at the sight of her glistening, watery eyes. Without saying another word, he reached out his hand to unfasten her seat belt before carrying her out of the car. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Su Ziyue wrapped her arms around his neck brazenly, but her face—which she buried in his chest— was burning with shyness.

She had merely made a casual complaint, but she never expected Qin Muchen to carry her out of the car himself.

She felt quite bad deep down inside after hearing what Su Yige had said previously, but as she leaned on Qin Muchen’s warm chest, she felt both warm and at ease as though she had been cured at once.

Qin Muchen entered the villa with her in his arms. Instead of putting her down, he stood by the door and said, “Switch on the lights.”

Su Ziyue twisted herself twice in his arms, saying, “Put me down; I can walk on my own.”

Qin Muchen did not answer, and his silence meant refusal.

As a result, Su Ziyue could only feel around the door for the light switch and switched on the lights; only then did Qin Muchen carry her upstairs.

Nevertheless, Su Ziyue asked inwardly, He could walk in the dark when he carried me upstairs last night, so why did he have the lights switched on today?

Qin Muchen seemed to know what she was thinking as he said softly, “Humans can draw out a lot of their potential in a state of excitement.”

Embarrassed by his answer, Su Ziyue did not say another word.

When they reached their bedroom, Qin Muchen put her down and said, “Come downstairs and have dinner after washing yourself. I’ll be making dinner right away.”

“Alright.”

Su Ziyue compressed her lips into a smile as she stared at Qin Muchen, who had already turned around and left. Qin Muchen is really kind to me, she thought to herself.

…

When she finished washing herself and came downstairs, the dinner was indeed ready as Qin Muchen had said.

Qin Muchen prepared only a few simple vegetable dishes, but the sight of them was appetizing enough for Su Ziyue. However, when it was time to have dinner, she did not eat much of them.

“You should eat more even if they are not to your liking. That way, you won’t get hungry at midnight.” Qin Muchen was used to her extreme taste for savory dishes, but it was better to eat less at night.

“I’ve had enough, and I don’t want to eat anymore.” Su Ziyue had lost most of her appetite after having two mouthfuls of rice and half a bowl of soup. Moreover, she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.

Seeing her in such a state, Qin Muchen did not force her any further. After cleaning things up slightly, he took her upstairs to sleep.

He thought it was very normal for Su Ziyue to have a poor appetite and feel sleepy since it already late. Furthermore, Su Ziyue was too exhausted that day.

He only realized the next morning that something was wrong when Su Ziyue still looked like she had a poor appetite.

Seeing that she did not touch anything else after taking a gulp of milk, he frowned and asked, “Why aren’t you eating?”

“I don’t want to.” Su Ziyue shook her head and leaned backward.

Qin Muchen put the knife and fork in his hands down before observing her carefully.

He knew that he had worn her out previously, so he let her off last night without doing anything to her. They did not sleep too late last night, but Su Ziyue looked under the weather right now.

Qin Muchen knitted his brows, and his eyes flickered as he seemed to think of something. He got up and called Bai Jingshu immediately, “Have Lu Shichu come over for a visit.”
