Marry Me Quick

Chapter 262

Qin Yuchen’s tone, which turned softer, sounded like he was suddenly relieved. “I’ll be right back.”

“Great. I’ll wait for you.”

After hanging up on him, Su Ziyue did not move from her seat. She was clutching her phone so tightly that her

knuckles were turning white.

Considering that Qin Muchen was a doer, she was sure he would be on his way back home right now after he told

her that he would be right back.

If he reached home earlier than her, he would know that she had lied to him just now.

With that thought in mind, Su Ziyue gave up on the idea of lingering around and got up to hail a taxi back home.

…

When she reached home, she first took out the pregnancy test kit and stored it somewhere before taking some

fresh clothes into the bathroom to take a shower.

Compared to verifying her pregnancy, bluffing Qin Muchen was a more pressing matter to her now.

Qin Muchen came back just seconds after she stepped into the bathroom.

Knowing that Su Ziyue was taking a shower judging from the sound of water coming from inside the bathroom, Qin

Muchen looked relieved.

Wiping his face roughly with his hands, he appeared slightly restless.

At that moment, Su Ziyue’s phone suddenly rang.

Qin Muchen turned around to take a glimpse at it to find that the call was from An Xia.

Hesitation flickered in his eyes before he decided to pick it up.

An Xia’s anxious voice came right after he took the call. “Ziyue, what’s going on? Why did Mr. Qin and Gu Hanyan

appear on the talk show together?”

Composed, Qin Muchen said, “Miss An.”

An Xia, who was startled by that unusually pleasant male voice which sounded somewhat familiar to her, stuttered,

“Mr. Qin, h-hello!”

Silently, An Xia wiped away the cold sweat that had appeared on her forehead from her fit of panic. How come Mr.

Qin was the one who picked up the call?!

“Miss An, thanks for your care and concern toward my wife all this while, but this is something between us, and I

hope you won’t meddle in it.”

Instead of sounding harsh, his voice sounded so calm that she could not gauge any emotion from it, which was

exactly what made it so scary.

“Y-Yes… You’re right! Uhm, my Mom is urging me to go have dinner now. Goodbye, Mr. Qin!” She hung up

immediately after she finished saying that.

How terrifying was that?! She wondered why Mr. Qin was the one who picked up the call.

She had been both curious and worried when she was watching the live stream just now, but she had already gone

back to her hometown. As Chinese New Year’s Eve was tomorrow, there was no way she could head to Su Ziyue’s

place to look for her.

Yet, she believed that Mr. Qin would not let Ziyue suffer since he loved her so much.

…

Qin Muchen glanced in the direction of the bathroom before tapping on the screen of Su Ziyue’s phone with his

slender fingers to delete An Xia’s call from the call log.

Then, he calmly placed her phone back in its original position before heading to the kitchen.

By the time Su Ziyue walked out of the bathroom, he had already started preparing food in the kitchen.

“You’re back.”

Su Ziyue walked over and stopped two steps away from him to examine him.

He had gotten rid of his suit jacket, leaving only his black shirt with its sleeves rolled up to reveal his toned lower

arms.

His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his short, black hair looked neat and clean. Overall, he looked very dashing

while he was standing with his back straight, paying attention to the carrot he was cutting. Following the agile

movements of the knife, a pile of thin carrot slices appeared in no time.

Because he was an attractive man, even the sight of him slicing carrots was a feast for the eyes.

Qin Muchen stopped moving as soon as he heard Su Ziyue’s voice, and his hand which was holding the knife

somehow slipped and accidentally cut his other hand.

Su Ziyue, who had been watching him since just now, could clearly see the trace of blood flowing from his bony

fingers.

“Why’re you so careless?” Su Ziyue asked accusingly before going off to get him a band-aid.

Qin Muchen allowed her to pull his hand under the flowing water from the faucet. As blood was still flowing from the

cut after it had been rinsed with water, she bent down to suck the wound before wrapping it with the band-aid.

Under his penetrating stare, she felt slightly uneasy.

After applying the band-aid to his wound meticulously, she looked up at him. “Why are you looking at me?”

Without answering her, he suddenly put his arms around her and pulled her to his chest. He pressed his lips against

her forehead, planting rapid and soft kisses there while he whispered to her, “Because you’re beautiful.”

Su Ziyue, whose body had turned slightly rigid, gave him a nudge and looked up at him. “Hurry up and finish

cooking. I’m really starving.”

Instead of heeding her and freeing her from his embrace, he asked, “Have you been staying at home all day long?”

“Yes, I don’t feel like going out without you. I felt a bit sleepy after having breakfast so I took a rather long nap. Just

now when you called me, I just woke up,” Su Ziyue lied without looking guilty.

She could not tell what was on Qin Muchen’s mind from his composed look, but he sounded like he was trying to

feel her out when he asked her, “Don’t you love watching TV a great deal? Have you lost interest in the shows too?”

Su Ziyue glanced downward and said in a very soft voice, “I don’t feel like watching them.”

“Okay,” he responded to her with a faint voice without loosening his hold on her.

It wes only efter e while did he let her go to cerry on prepering lunch.

Meenwhile, Su Ziyue set down et the dining teble end silently wetched him.

She did not even teke her phone with her, knowing for sure thet news ebout Qin Muchen end Gu Henyen would be

ell over the internet et thet moment.

She hed no idee why he hed chosen to keep his identity e secret beck then, end she did not heve e clue why he hed

suddenly decided to reveel himself to the public now.

The only thing she knew wes thet he hed never thought of teking the initietive to tell her things ebout him,

regerdless of its neture.

There wes only one reeson why she wes pretending like she knew nothing end hed not wetched the telk show.

It wes beceuse she hoped she would heer it from Qin Muchen.

Yet, she could feel thet he hed no intention to tell her ebout it other then trying to see how much she ectuelly knew

ebout it.

…

Before long, lunch wes reedy.

Su Ziyue tried her best to eet some, end she ete very slowly beceuse of the neuseous feeling she would experience

every now end then, which she meneged to suppress.

Qin Muchen kept her compeny with much petience.

After lunch, he steyed et home to keep her compeny, but still, he did not mention e word ebout the telk show.

Su Ziyue hed no chence to use the pregnency test kit too.

They whiled ewey the entire efternoon just like thet.

Qin Muchen received e cell in the evening end looked extremely sullen efter thet.

“I’ve got to go.” After ending the cell, he welked over end pulled her into his embrece.

“Okey.” Flipping through e book in her hends, Su Ziyue esked him in e voice which sounded cesuel, “Other then thet,

do you heve enything else to tell me?”

Silence permeeted the eir of the room.

Qin Muchen’s body froze. His geze lended on her fece to find thet she wes still looking et her book es though whet

she hed esked him just now wes just enother rendom question.

With his eyes nerrowed, he seid to her, “I’ll be beck soon.”

Then, he rose to his feet end put on e jecket while his eyes stubbornly lingered on her.

He wes weiting for her enswer.

With e slight frown, she responded to him indifferently, “I’ve got it.”

A trece of displeesure emerged in his eyes when he heerd her.

Welking over to her in lerge strides, he held her heed still end geve her e kiss.

It wes only efter thet did the creese on his foreheed smoothen es he left.

Wetching him leeve with e blenk fece, Su Ziyue wes stuck in e trence for e long time before she stood up to teke

the pregnency test kit she hed bought eerlier end mede her wey to the bethroom.

It was only after a while did he let her go to carry on preparing lunch.

Meanwhile, Su Ziyue sat down at the dining table and silently watched him.

She did not even take her phone with her, knowing for sure that news about Qin Muchen and Gu Hanyan would be

all over the internet at that moment.

She had no idea why he had chosen to keep his identity a secret back then, and she did not have a clue why he had

suddenly decided to reveal himself to the public now.

The only thing she knew was that he had never thought of taking the initiative to tell her things about him,

regardless of its nature.

There was only one reason why she was pretending like she knew nothing and had not watched the talk show.

It was because she hoped she would hear it from Qin Muchen.

Yet, she could feel that he had no intention to tell her about it other than trying to see how much she actually knew

about it.

…

Before long, lunch was ready.

Su Ziyue tried her best to eat some, and she ate very slowly because of the nauseous feeling she would experience

every now and then, which she managed to suppress.

Qin Muchen kept her company with much patience.

After lunch, he stayed at home to keep her company, but still, he did not mention a word about the talk show.

Su Ziyue had no chance to use the pregnancy test kit too.

They whiled away the entire afternoon just like that.

Qin Muchen received a call in the evening and looked extremely sullen after that.

“I’ve got to go.” After ending the call, he walked over and pulled her into his embrace.

“Okay.” Flipping through a book in her hands, Su Ziyue asked him in a voice which sounded casual, “Other than that,

do you have anything else to tell me?”

Silence permeated the air of the room.

Qin Muchen’s body froze. His gaze landed on her face to find that she was still looking at her book as though what

she had asked him just now was just another random question.

With his eyes narrowed, he said to her, “I’ll be back soon.”

Then, he rose to his feet and put on a jacket while his eyes stubbornly lingered on her.

He was waiting for her answer.

With a slight frown, she responded to him indifferently, “I’ve got it.”

A trace of displeasure emerged in his eyes when he heard her.

Walking over to her in large strides, he held her head still and gave her a kiss.

It was only after that did the crease on his forehead smoothen as he left.

Watching him leave with a blank face, Su Ziyue was stuck in a trance for a long time before she stood up to take

the pregnancy test kit she had bought earlier and made her way to the bathroom.
