Chapter 151
Qin Muchen was about to walk inside when he noticed someone tugging lightly on his sleeve.
He lowered his eyes, took a look and saw Su Ziyue’s thin, pointy and fair fingers.
Her fair elongated fingers appeared unusually eye-catching against the pure black sleeve of his suit.
Qin Muchen paused for a while and pursed his lips before he shook off Su Ziyue’s hand with a cold and sullen
expression on his face.
Staring at her empty hand, Su Ziyue was dazed for a while before she finally realized that Qin Muchen had shaken
off her hand.
“Qin Muchen…”
She felt awful because Gong Zeyang kept pestering her and she was involved in a car accident. Besides, Qin
Muchen refused to answer her call no matter how many times she called him. So, her voice sounded somewhat
aggrieved.
Qin Muchen noticed the bitterness in her voice and he froze for a moment. He held back the urge to turn around
and look at her. He went straight into the examination room instead.
Su Ziyue knew he was angry. Even though she felt aggrieved, it was her fault for last night’s incident. She shouldn’t
have forgotten his words.
She followed closely behind Qin Muchen and entered the room. She was very worried about Beef too.
Upon hearing her footsteps following behind him, Qin Muchen’s face turned grimmer. Usually, if he treated her like
that, she would have left straight away or even argued with him.
But now, she actually put up with his temper and even followed him in here.
Does she feel guilty because she did something wrong? Qin Muchen had an urge to kill someone when he thought
of this possibility.
Meanwhile, after the veterinarian checked on the dog, he looked at the young couple in the room, one of them
standing in front whereas the other one standing at the back. He couldn’t help but sounded a little reproaching with
his words as he said, “Puppies have weak stomachs. Since you guys bought it and decided to keep it, you guys
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshould pay close attention to the dog. If this continues, I’m afraid sooner or later it’ll…”
The veterinarian didn’t finish his sentence, but Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue knew what he meant.
Su Ziyue took a step forward and asked worriedly, “Can you treat it?”
“Let it stay here for a few days and I’ll nurse it back to health. After that, you guys can come back and fetch it.” As
the veterinarian said that, he turned and looked at Qin Muchen.
Su Ziyue nodded after she heard him. She lowered her head and looked at Beef, which appeared to be utterly
dispirited. She held out her hand and caressed its head.
Beef narrowed its eyes and rubbed its face against her palm while tilting its head to lick her fingers. The dog was
begging her not to leave it here.
“You stay here for a few days. Your daddy and I will come back here a few days later to fetch you. I’ll take you out
and have fun every day when we get back.”
Su Ziyue felt sorry for the dog when she saw it behaving like that.
Beef whined grudgingly and turned its head away, refusing to look at Su Ziyue, as though it could understand her.
Qin Muchen raised his eyes and took a glance at Su Ziyue. He snorted coldly to himself. Now, you feel sorry for the
dog.
Middle-aged men liked to lecture young people sometimes. The veterinarian studied the couple over and over again
before he advised them in a serious manner, “Misunderstandings tend to happen when two people are living
together, but it’s not a good habit to hit someone when you’re drunk…”
Puzzled by the veterinarian’s words, Qin Muchen turned around and looked at Su Ziyue. Since he was angry, he
hadn’t looked at her properly since just now. He only noticed the bandage attached to her forehead clearly now. He
frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, “I didn’t hit her.”
The veterinarian just cleared his throat awkwardly without saying anything else. He continued to remind the couple
about things they should watch out of for Beef.
After paying the bill, Qin Muchen walked out of the veterinary hospital. Although he still ignored Su Ziyue, who was
following behind, he slowed down considerably.
Noticing that he wasn’t walking so quickly, Su Ziyue pursed her lips and ran to catch up with him.
When she reached behind him, she bit her lip, held out her hand to grab his.
He felt her soft but icy hand slipping into his palm. Su Ziyue held onto his hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he
might shake off her hand again. Qin Muchen tightened his grip around her hand involuntarily before he let it go
quickly.
Although he was quick in his move, the sharp Su Ziyue noticed his sudden change of mood. Feeling happy, she held
onto his hand tighter.
Qin Muchen’s face turned grim when he failed to shake off her hand in the end after swaying it twice.
He had been suppressing his anger the whole of last night. Now, he could no longer hold back his anger as it
consumed him like blazing flames. He kept quiet and quickened his pace.
The morning weather was very cold. After walking behind him for more than ten minutes, Su Ziyue’s naked calves
began to turn blue due to the cold weather.
Since he quickened his steps suddenly, Su Ziyue had to walk faster to catch up with him. However, she forgot that
she was wearing a pair of stiletto heels. So, unfortunately, she sprained her ankle.
“Ah!” She let out a panicked shriek and was about to fall backward. Qin Muchen, who had been ignoring her since
this morning, turned around as fast as lightning, stretched out his arms and held her.
Su Ziyue was dazed for a while when she fell into his familiar embrace. Then, she beamed happily; she knew Qin
Muchen wouldn’t really be mad at her.
However, her grin annoyed Qin Muchen very much when he saw it.
He uttered coldly, “Stand properly.”
Su Ziyue stood still obediently. Almost immediately, Qin Muchen let go of her and continued walking ahead quickly.
Coincidentally, his car was just parked right in front. He took several big steps to get to his car, pulled open the car
door and went inside.
“Qin Muchen, stand right there!” Su Ziyue, who had been catching up with him, finally began to get angry.
She was limping while walking forward, looking a little upset and annoyed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQin Muchen glanced at Su Ziyue from the rearview mirror. A look of hesitation flashed through his eyes, but when
he thought of what he saw earlier, his face became grim and sullen again.
Finally, he decided to be cold-hearted and drove away.
However, after driving for some distance, when Su Ziyue, who was cladded in a white woolen overcoat, had
become a tiny spot in the rearview mirror, he finally took out his cell phone.
He called Nan Chuan and told him the hospital address. “Come over and fetch Su Ziyue back home. Don’t say it’s
me who asked you to come.”
“Eh?” Nan Chuan was baffled upon hearing that, but Qin Muchen had already hung up the phone.
He didn’t have the courage to call and ask again.
This isn’t right. Yesterday was the boss’s birthday. He didn’t celebrate his birthday sweetly with Su Ziyue? What’s
going on now?
Su Ziyue stared after Qin Muchen’s black Bentley which drove faraway with her bulging eyes. Finally, his car
disappeared from her sight. Her face turned pale suddenly. He seems… very angry this time.
She still wanted to explain everything to him, but he acted like he didn’t want to entertain her at all.
Su Ziyue stood there, looking very pale and panicked. She lowered her head and looked at her sprained ankle. She
straight away removed her heels and stood on the ground barefooted.
It was very cold during the winter season in Yunzhou City. Having walked barefooted for just less than one minute,
Su Ziyue could already feel her feet going numb due to the extreme cold.
Suddenly, a car halted beside her.
Su Ziyue turned and saw that it was the limited edition Rolls-Royce that Qin Muchen used to drive before this.
The next minute, Nan Chuan’s distinct features appeared through the car window. “Mrs. Qin, why are you standing
here so early in the morning?”
“Nan Chuan?” Su Ziyue didn’t expect to meet Nan Chuan here. “What brings you here?”
Upon hearing her, Nan Chuan cleared his throat to help relieve the stress for lying. “I’m on my way to work.”
“You live so far away?” Su Ziyue was surprised because it was quite far from Lumiere Jade House here.
“The route I always take is too jammed, so I decided to take another route. Where are you going? I can drive you.”
Nan Chuan studied her closely and shook his head quietly. It seems what happened this time is way more serious
than before. The boss actually left Su Ziyue all by herself here just like that.
