Marry Me Quick

Chapter 152

Su Ziyue was dazed when she heard him. “I…” Where am I going? Qin Muchen must have gone back home now. Do

I have to go back home too? Where else can I go if I don’t go home? She felt sad and awful when she thought of

how Qin Muchen treated her earlier. Fine, I’ll just go back. It was my fault anyway. I should explain everything to

him.

Nan Chuan turned quietly and sneaked a glance at Su Ziyue. He then turned to look at the road ahead of him in

silence again when he noticed the panicked and worried expression on her face. After pondering for a while, he still

asked her, “Yesterday was the boss’s birthday. How did you guys celebrate it?”

“Yesterday was Qin Muchen’s birthday?” Su Ziyue turned and looked at Nan Chuan immediately. A shocked and

surprised look flashed through her eyes. “But he didn’t say anything…” He just asked her to go home earlier, but he

didn’t mention the purpose. It turned out that it was his birthday, which was no wonder why he specially reminded

her several times the previous morning.

The feelings of distress and sadness within Su Ziyue faded away a little, but she still felt something was off. How

could he be so angry if it was just because she didn’t go home on time and didn’t answer his call? Besides, he just

called her once last night. This wasn’t something he would usually do at all.

Su Ziyue went back to Cloud Bay Hilltop Villa, her mind loaded with questions and puzzles.

“Thank you.” Su Ziyue opened the door and got out of the car before she thanked Nan Chuan.

Nan Chuan noticed that Su Ziyue had gotten out of the car barefooted while holding her high heels. One of her feet

had become swollen. Her slightly reddened foot began to turn pale when it came into contact with cold air. Nan

Chuan couldn’t stand the sight of her miserable condition. So, he said, “You’re welcome, Mrs. Qin. It’s what I should

do anyway. Since Mr. Qin pays me handsomely, you can boss me around as much as you like.”

He grinned as he spoke while getting out of the car and walked beside Su Ziyue. “Let me help you walk inside.”

“Alright then, sorry for the trouble.” Su Ziyue’s foot was rather painful. So, she didn’t reject Nan Chuan’s offer upon

hearing his words.

Nan Chuan was actually thinking about carrying her straight into the house, but he thought it wasn’t very

appropriate doing that. So, he held out his arm courteously and allowed Su Ziyue to hold onto it. Then, both of them

walked inside slowly.

Just as the both of them reached the main entrance, Nan Chuan’s cell phone rang. Su Ziyue stopped and looked at

him. After he pulled out his cell phone and saw the name shown on the screen, he answered the call calmly. At the

window on the second floor, Qin Muchen appeared grim while holding his cell phone. His voice was icy cold. “You

can go back now.”

The next moment, the call was disconnected. Hearing the disconnect tone coming from the other side of the

phone, Nan Chuan paused for a while. His face became serious immediately. “I got it. I’ll go there at once.” As he

finished speaking, he put his cell phone away. He turned and looked at Su Ziyue seriously. “Mrs. Qin, you better go

inside yourself. There’s an emergency over there at the Lumiere Jade House. I need to go over there now.”

Noticing the serious expression on his face, Su Ziyue let go of his arm. “Just go then…”

Nan Chuan nodded at her before he placed his palm over his chest and left. He was an honest gentleman. When he

was overseas back then, lots of socialites from wealthy families tried to pursue him. But now, he was forced to tell

lies against his moral conscience over and over again because of his boss. It wasn’t easy to survive, but it was even

more difficult working under Qin Muchen.

While Nan Chuan just left, Qin Muchen walked out from the house. He stood by the doorway and looked in Su

Ziyue’s direction with a cold expression on his face. His dark eyes appeared unemotional. Su Ziyue had a feeling

that someone was looking at her. So, she raised her head immediately and met Qin Muchen’s gaze. She called out

to him, “Qin Muchen.”

A miserable look flashed quickly through Qin Muchen’s eyes. It disappeared so fast that Su Ziyue didn’t notice it.

She just saw the icy unemotional look in Qin Muchen’s eyes.

Noticing he was about to turn around and go inside the house, Su Ziyue involuntarily sped up her steps. “Qin

Muchen, stop right there! I can explain! I had a car accident last night, that’s why I didn’t come back. I bumped into

Gong Zeyang this morning when I got out of the hospital. Nothing happened between us…”

Su Ziyue was so anxious trying to explain everything while walking toward him that she forgot she had sprained her

ankle. When she almost fell down again, a strong and firm arm held her waist. She fell into that familiar embrace

again. Sniffing the familiar smell of shower gel from his body, she guessed he already had a shower. After being in a

daze for a second, she held out her arm and wrapped it around Qin Muchen’s waist. She knew he wouldn’t ignore

her completely.

Feeling her soft and thin arms around his waist, Qin Muchen froze for a moment. When he lowered his head and

saw the pleading look in her eyes, he simply couldn’t bring himself to say the things which he planned to say. He

bent down slightly and carried Su Ziyue in his arms before walking into the room. He could treat anyone cold-

heartedly, except her.

…

Su Ziyue was thrown onto the bed by Qin Muchen. When she sat up, she saw Qin Muchen going out of the bedroom

while angrily slamming the door behind him. She opened her mouth, wanting to call out his name, but she couldn’t.

She thought he was no longer angry with her since he was willing to carry her, so she couldn’t believe that he was

still mad at her. Hmph! You think you’re the only one who can be angry? I can too.

Su Ziyue rose grudgingly and went to shower in the bathroom. After showering, she changed into her pajamas and

lay down on the bed to take a nap. Last night, she had been waiting for Qin Muchen’s call for the whole night. So,

she didn’t sleep well at all. Perhaps it was because of the familiar scent on her blanket, which calmed her down and

made her feel relaxed, so Su Ziyue fell asleep soon.

After half an hour, the bedroom door was opened and Qin Muchen walked in from outside. Staring at the girl who

lay quietly on the bed, Qin Muchen stood at the doorway in a daze. After a while, he walked toward Su Ziyue with a

first aid kit in his hands.

After placing the first aid kit on the table beside the bed, Qin Muchen lowered his eyes and contemplated Su Ziyue.

There were obvious dark circles around her eyes. Apparently, she didn’t sleep well. She had a car accident? She’s

fine since she managed to follow me to the veterinary hospital and followed me out of there as well.

Qin Muchen took a bottle of medicine and walked to the end of the bed. He flipped a corner of the blanket to reveal

her swollen ankle. He furrowed his dark eyebrows into a frown as he sprayed some medicine on her ankle. Perhaps

it was because of the icy liquid medicine, Su Ziyue retracted her leg slightly.

Qin Muchen sat down. He held her ankle with one hand while spraying more medicine on her ankle with the bottle

of medicine he held in his other hand. Then, he massaged her ankle gently.

Su Ziyue was soundly asleep. She dreamed that she went swimming in a river all by herself. When she was about to

climb onto the riverbank, a ghost in the river caught her leg. She became so scared that she kept retracting her leg

with all her might. As a result, the ghost yanked her leg harder.

“Ah! Let go of my leg!” Su Ziyue woke up with a panicked shriek. She only realized she was in her own bedroom

after waking up. Something isn’t right. My leg…

She tried withdrawing her leg, but she noticed that she couldn’t move it. She tossed around and sat up on the bed,

then she noticed that Qin Muchen, who sat on the end of the bed, was staring at her with his dark and gloomy face.

Su Ziyue blinked. She flipped the blanket off and stared at his hand on her ankle. She asked him with a puzzled look

on her face. “What are you doing holding my leg?”

Qin Muchen’s lips curved into a sneer. “I’ll let go now.”

Su Ziyue only realized that the leg he was grabbing was the one with the sprained ankle. She said immediately, “No,

don’t, you…”
