Marry Me Quick

Chapter 129

Su Ziyue turned to look at Qin Muchen with a look of astonishment. Even though she couldn’t fathom why he

wanted to take the fruit basket with him, she did not ask him the reason.

On the contrary, Gu Hanyan took Qin Muchen’s words pretty hard; she stood up and tried to snatch the fruit basket

from Qin Muchen. She said in a desperate tone, “These fruits can’t be eaten anymore; they have dropped to the

floor.”

“It’s alright.” Qin Muchen glanced at Gu Hanyan’s hand, which was still holding the fruit basket. Exerting some

strength on his hand, he then freed the fruit basket from her grasp and said, “Have a good rest. We’re leaving

first.”

Upon hearing his words, Gu Hanyan staggered as though she suffered a crushing blow; she barely managed to keep

her feet only by grabbing the edge of the table to support herself.

However, Qin Muchen had turned around and walked outside while holding Su Ziyue’s hand as though he did not

see anything.

Qin Muchen came to the hospital with Bai Jingshu at first, so he gave his car keys to Bai Jingshu when they left the

hospital. “Go back in my car.”

Bai Jingshu caught the car keys, but before he could say anything, Qin Muchen had taken Su Ziyue’s car keys and

opened the car door for her. After stuffing her into the car, he got into the car as well.

Then, the car drove off smoothly without any interruption.

Standing at the roadside, Bai Jingshu lowered his head to glance at the car keys in his hand. Then, he shook his

head and turned around to get into his car.

Meanwhile, Su Ziyue looked back at the fruit basket, which Qin Muchen had put in the backseat. She asked him,

“Why did you take the fruit basket with you?”

Qin Muchen asked in reply without even looking back, “You bought that, didn’t you?”

“Yeah…” replied Su Ziyue. She thought to herself, So he wanted to pick it back even though Gu Hanyan had thrown

it onto the floor because I was the one who bought it?

Qin Muchen was finally willing to look back and glance at her. He replied flatly, “Uh-huh.”

Su Ziyue was puzzled. ‘Uh-huh’? What did he mean?

Qin Muchen did not say another word until they arrived at their home.

They soon reached Cloud Bay Hilltop Villa.

As soon as the car came to a complete stop, Su Ziyue pushed the car door open and stepped out of the car herself.

Qin Muchen stepped out of the car from the other side and took the fruit basket out of the backseat.

Then, he strode toward the dumpster in front of their villa and threw the fruit basket—along with the fruits it

contained—into the dumpster.

Su Ziyue was rendered speechless. So he took the fruit basket all the way back just to throw it into the dumpster in

front of our home?

“Why are you still standing there? Go inside.” Qin Muchen grabbed Su Ziyue’s hand and pulled her into the villa

when he turned his head and saw her standing there in a daze.

Su Ziyue walked into the villa with him while lifting her head to look at him with a curious expression. “Why did you

take the fruit basket back to throw it away?”

“Would you want to eat the fruits if I didn’t throw them away?” Qin Muchen turned to glance at her with a serious

expression, as though he would go back and pick the fruits back for her if she said she wanted to eat them.

Su Ziyue pursed her lips and muttered, “If you just wanted to throw it away, why must you take it back before

throwing it?”

“You bought it yourself. Even if you don’t want it anymore, you have to throw it into the dumpster of our house,”

said Qin Muchen, his voice resounding clearly in Su Ziyue’s ears as he stepped ahead of Su Ziyue to open the door.

You bought it yourself. Even if you don’t want it anymore, you have to throw it into the dumpster of our house. Tsk,

what a possessive control freak he is, thought Su Ziyue to herself. She dared not speak her thoughts out loud, but

for some reason, she felt inexplicably great.

Gu Hanyan was so angry at her that she even threw the fruits onto the floor, but Qin Muchen took the fruits back

with him straight away and threw them into the dumpster in front of their home.

Because of that, she felt like Qin Muchen was implying that he wouldn’t let an outsider throw the stuff that his wife

bought away even if the stuff was no longer wanted.

Su Ziyue was immensely pleased as she followed him into the house and found that he went to Beef’s room.

She went after him and watched as he fed Beef some dog food and water. After that, she followed him out of the

room.

Qin Muchen went to the kitchen and washed his hands to get ready to prepare dinner. When he looked back and

saw that she was behind him, he asked, “Why are you following me around?”

Su Ziyue couldn’t hide the smile on her face at all. “You don’t seem to be so petty on the outside.”

It was only a fruit basket, yet he carried it back with a serious face just to throw it away.

Qin Muchen cast a sidelong glance at her without speaking.

Staring at his broad back, Su Ziyue tilted her head as she asked, “How did you know that Gu Hanyan threw the fruit

basket onto the floor on purpose?”

Qin Muchen’s body went stiff for a moment. “I know her well.”

Su Ziyue’s smile faded when she heard Qin Muchen’s answer. She pressed her lips together before asking him

again, “How long have you two known each other?”

“I knew her right after I started my business,” answered Qin Muchen straightforwardly without hiding anything. He

didn’t speak in a roundabout way, and he sounded frank and open.

The way he answered left Su Ziyue at a loss for words. “Oh.”

Time was a magical thing, for it was both a therapist and a witness; it could both heal the wounds in people’s hearts

and witness the relationships and feelings between them.

Qin Muchen started his business at 14 years old, and thirteen years had passed since then. In other words, he and

Gu Hanyan had known each other for more than ten years.

What did the decade imply? It simply meant many unexpected changes had happened and habits were developed.

Su Ziyue could no longer remember how blissful and happy she used to be when her Dad always called her ‘Little

Princess’ before she was nine years old.

Right now, being both alert and grown up now, she had lost all traces of her childhood.

Su Ziyue felt a sense of danger; even though Qin Muchen had appeared to distance himself from Gu Hanyan, the

latter was someone different in his eyes after all.

Su Ziyue didn’t want to stay any longer in the kitchen, so she turned around and left quietly.

Sensing that the person behind him was no longer there, Qin Muchen looked back to see that there was no sign of

Su Ziyue in the kitchen. He paused what he was doing for a moment, but after that, he still turned around and

continued preparing the dishes.

Su Ziyue walked outside to see Beef, who came out for a stroll after having eaten and drank to its heart’s content.

“Beef.”

Beef had gotten a lot more familiar with Su Ziyue these days, so it wagged its tail while running up to her when it

heard her calling its name.

When Su Ziyue touched its head, it rested its head on her palm in a seemingly affectionate manner.

After having dinner, Su Ziyue got busy as she started making preparations for the next day’s press conference.

Qin Muchen asked nothing much when he saw that she seemed to have a ready plan in mind.

The next day, Su Ziyue woke up early in the morning.

Qin Muchen looked at the time and realized that it was only six, and it was a Saturday.

He got up and sat leaning back against the headboard while staring at Su Ziyue, who sat in front of the mirror while

wearing her makeup. Having just woken from sleep, he said in a drowsy tone, “It’s too early.”

“I won’t get into a panic if I set out early,” said Su Ziyue to him as she applied makeup on her brows.

Su Yuanming and those at the Su Group couldn’t wait to laugh at her, so of course she wanted to make sure that

nothing wrong would happen at the press conference.

Qin Muchen frowned slightly before he got out of bed and entered the bathroom.

When Su Ziyue finished wearing her makeup, Qin Muchen pulled himself together and came out, having changed

into his clothes.

“What are you doing?” Didn’t I say that he doesn’t have to deal with this?

Qin Muchen straightened his tie and put his suit jacket over his arm. “I’ll be your driver.”

Then, he opened the door ahead of her and went downstairs.

Su Ziyue’s eyes widened in surprise as she followed him downstairs.
