Marry Me Quick

Chapter 139

When An Xia saw Su Ziyue being lost in her thought, she was worried that she had touched Su Ziyue’s sore spot.

This made her say hurriedly, “I think they’re just too bored. This class gathering is an annual event, but I’ve never

attended it as well.”

If she were being honest, she would have said that she had attended once, but she was bombarded with questions

of Su Ziyue’s situation in the end, and everyone there spoke unkindly and meanly, so she chose to say that she had

never attended it as well. Their words threw An Xia into an awkward and lonely situation no matter how much she

wanted to defend Su Ziyue. This was why she no longer attended it and would only scroll on the chat group once in

a while.

Rumors about Su Ziyue’s abortion spread during the last month of their senior year. Before that, Su Ziyue had

always been a girl whom everyone admired.

As An Xia knew Su Ziyue well by being her best friend for years, she knew that Su Ziyue was a responsible person,

no matter she had premarital sex or not.

At present, not only had Su Ziyue returned to Su Group, but she even had such an outstanding man as Mr. Qin as

her husband. What a great opportunity to give those people a slap in the face! she thought.

An Xia felt pity toward those people just by thinking about it.

Su Ziyue raised her head and fixed her gaze on An Xia. Despite it being only a few seconds, her piercing gaze

nearly overwhelmed An Xia and made her speak the truth. However, Su Ziyue opened up before her. “Let me

consider for a while.”

An Xia asked, “You would like to go?”

If Su Ziyue did not wish to go, she would just decline the offer straightaway, but since she said she would consider it,

there was a high chance that she would attend.

“Let’s talk about it later,” Su Ziyue said while packing her things. “It’s time to get off work. Let me drive you back as

it’s raining out there.”

“There’s no need…”

“It’s okay. I’m giving you a ride only because it’s raining. I won’t even care about you otherwise.” Su Ziyue ignored

An Xia’s refusal and just pulled her along with her before pushing her into the car.

Su Ziyue only started her journey to the Cloud Bay after sending An Xia home.

However, she received Qin Muchen’s call shortly.

His cool voice still sounded unusually attractive. “Where are you?”

Normally, she would have reached home at this hour, but on this day, she was not back yet even though he had

already reached home for half an hour.

Su Ziyue stopped her car at the roadside. “I just gave An Xia a ride and I’m on my way home now. I’ll reach soon.”

Why is there a need to call when I’m just half an hour later than usual? I’m not a child anymore, she thought to

herself.

When she reached home and walked to the living room, she saw Beef sitting by the door and looking at rain in a

depressed way.

Su Ziyue understood its thoughts easily. She knew that Beef was feeling depressed over the fact that it was raining,

so it couldn’t go out to play.

“Beef,” Su Ziyue said smilingly and stroked it.

Beef cast her a glance lazily. All of a sudden, it turned around and ran inside, then it ran back out with a toy bone in

its mouth.

While carrying the bone in its mouth, it jumped and put its front paws on Su Ziyue, signaling her to take the toy

bone.

However, it tightened its grip after Su Ziyue had reached out to take the bone. Then, it started shaking fervently

until Su Ziyue’s grip loosened. Feeling pleased, Beef gave two short barks and put its front paws on her again.

“Haha.” Su Ziyue snorted and threw it a cold glance, then she bypassed it and walked inside.

Beef followed behind her relentlessly.

When Su Ziyue walked further in, she could hear noises from the kitchen. Hence, she turned around and smiled

wryly at Beef. “I have a husband. You can just go play by yourself, you single dog.”

With that, she tossed her bag onto the sofa and walked stealthily toward the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Beef put down the toy bone in its mouth and sat on the floor. It looked sadder than before as it had

precisely felt how humans could be so unkind sometimes.

With stealthy footsteps, Su Ziyue reached the kitchen and sneakily looked inside.

Qin Muchen had already changed into a dark grey loungewear. With his back facing her, he was now cutting

something on the chopping board. There was a pot of soup boiling on the stove and its nice smell had wafted into

Su Ziyue’s nose.

Cautiously, she tiptoed and started walking to his back, planning to surprise him with a hug.

However, he suddenly took a step aside when she had just reached behind him. As Su Ziyue could not hug him as

expected, she looked blank for a moment.

During this brief distracted moment of hers, Qin Muchen, who had taken a step aside, turned his head and gave her

a peck on the lips.

Although it was just a light kiss, it was so captivating that Su Ziyue felt dizzy.

Before she could come back to her senses, Qin Muchen had flicked her lightly on the forehead. “Come back to

earth.”

Miraculously, Su Ziyue immediately gathered her wits together and looked at him with a pair of wide-opened eyes.

“How could you see me just now?”

Qin Muchen arched his brow and popped a piece of carrot into her mouth. Although his voice was deep and cool, a

glimmer of amusement could be heard when he said, “Guess it yourself. If you can’t figure it out, you’ll only have

carrots for your dinner today.”

Si Ziyue was rendered speechless. I should have just played with Beef instead of coming to look for him.

Immediately, Su Ziyue spat the piece of carrot in her mouth onto her palm. However, she quickly put it back again

when Qin Muchen turned to look at her expressionlessly.

Surprise flashed across Qin Muchen’s face. “That’s disgusting. Why did you eat it?”

“You…” If it had not been because of your intimidating expression, why would I have eaten it again?

There was a glint of amusement in Qin Muchen’s eyes when he saw her indignant expression. Then, he turned his

gaze away from her.

Su Ziyue swallowed the carrot and then sat behind him. After looking at his figure for a while, she said loudly, “It

was because you’d seen my shadow!”

“Mmh.” Qin Muchen sounded distracted, which made Su Ziyue feel that she had been looked down on.

This sense of grief and indignation gave Su Ziyue the urge to eat more; she looked somewhat like a ravenous beast

when she ate her dinner.

Beside her, Beef even paused from eating its dried dog food and sat down to look up at Su Ziyue instead.

Meanwhile, Qin Muchen simply cast a glance at Su Ziyue, then he threw a piece of braised pork into Beef’s bowl

after rinsing it in the soup. Then, he said indifferently, “Don’t learn from your mother. It’s unhealthy to eat like her.”

Su Ziyue was rendered speechless.

Su Ziyue ended up overeating as a result of her indignation.

Letting her lie in his arms, Qin Muchen rubbed on her stomach gently and rhythmically. There was even a hint of

resignation in his usual cool voice as he said, “Do you still want to throw tantrums in the future?”

As Su Ziyue was feeling better than before, she refuted, “I didn’t throw a tantrum just now. I just had a good

appetite.”

Covering his mouth with his hand, Qin Muchen coughed and decided not to expose his wife’s little lie.

However, Su Ziyue suddenly remembered that Qin Muchen had previously told her that he would help her

investigate her father’s incident.

Su Ziyue reached out to hold Qin Muchen’s hand, then she asked, “Previously, you’ve said that you’ll help me to

investigate my father’s issues. Do you have any news about it?”

As though being cast a spell, Qin Muchen froze in place after hearing her question.

After a while, Su Ziyue finally heard him say in a somewhat chilly tone, “There’s still no news about it because it

happened a long time ago.”
