Marry Me Quick

Chapter 291

Nan Chuan pursed his lips before walking over with a look of helplessness on his face.

“It’s me, boss.”

Qin Muchen slowly shifted his sight over.

After two seconds, his vision finally refocused. After seeing that it was indeed Nan Chuan standing in front of him,

he withdrew his gaze.

Qin Muchen lowered his head before reaching over to grab a box of cigarettes from the table in front of him.

“What’s the matter?” asked Qin Muchen.

He opened up the cigarette box to find it empty. Similarly, the other box was empty as well.

He did not get mad at all. Instead, Qin Muchen looked toward Nan Chuan. “Cigarette.”

Nan Chuan hesitated for a while after seeing his depressed look. It was obvious that he was in an extremely bad

mood.

He did not dare to offend Qin Muchen, so he could only take out the cigarette which he had on him and gave it to

his boss.

As he handed over the cigarette to Qin Muchen, Nan Chuan said, “Boss, the doctor has asked you not to smoke and

drink too much—it’d be better if you can quit them. You’re currently…”

Qin Muchen lit up a cigarette and took a puff. His voice was slightly slurred as he said, “Leave if there’s nothing

important.”

Qin Muchen slothfully leaned against the sofa. The black suit that he was wearing was creased; he seemed rather

depressed in this form. Even so, Nan Chuan did not dare to disobey the orders from Qin Muchen.

Nan Chuan was helpless and could only leave the room.

He was still worried. Thus, he turned around to take a glance at the private room’s door. He felt like he could not let

Qin Muchen carry on like this.

Moreover, there were urgent matters in the company that needed to be taken care of. If he continued in such a

way, his body would collapse.

Nan Chuan pondered for a while before giving An Xia a call.

An Xia was tidying up her belongings because she was about to get off from work.

She blurted out with doubt when she saw Nan Chuan calling her. “Nan Chuan?”

“Yes, it’s me. Are you busy?”

“I’m just about to get off from work. What’s the matter?” It was unusual for Nan Chuan to give her any calls.

Something must have happened if Nan Chuan had called her on purpose.

“It’s just that…” Nan Chuan was so irritated that he started pulling his hair. It would be better if he just put things

straight. “Can you give me Miss Su’s phone number?”

An Xia immediately became alert when she heard Nan Chuan asking for Su Ziyue’s phone number.

“What do you want to do?” She did not believe that Nan Chuan would want to give Su Ziyue a call for no reason. He

might have been ordered by Qin Muchen to do so.

Qin Muchen had had a fiancé, but he still wanted to pester Su Ziyue. He really was annoying!

Nan Chuan considered the matter before answering her, “I’m looking for her due to some personal affairs.”

What Nan Chuan heard first was Qin Muchen’s voice instead. “What sort of personal affairs do you have with her?”

He immediately turned his head over to find Qin Muchen standing at a distance that was only two steps away from

him.

Nan Chuan’s face darkened instantly.

Nonetheless, Qin Muchen did not give him any chance to explain himself. In fact, he simply snatched away the

phone after he had walked up to him.

Qin Muchen then happened to hear An Xia saying, “Personal affairs? What kind of personal affairs can you have

with her? On behalf of our friendship, tell me the truth. Is it related to your boss? It’s not that I want to judge him,

but your boss really is a scumbag. He has a fiancé but still wants to pester Ziyue. This kind of…”

Qin Muchen spoke up before An Xia could finish her sentence. “A scumbag?”

An Xia was startled after she heard him. “Nan Chuan, why has your voice changed all of a sudden? You sound like

your boss…”

Qin Muchen squinted his eyes before he said faintly, “I am Qin Muchen.”

An Xia felt as though she was suffering from an ear disease.

However, relying on her experiences from the last two years where she was suppressed by Bai Jingshu for being his

secretary, she had the capability to face such situations with courage.

She immediately gave a response and sounded exceptionally calm. “What did you say? I can’t hear you. It must be

a bad signal. I’ll hang up then—let’s talk some other day.”

An Xia’s calmness immediately collapsed right after she had hung up the phone.

What had she done? The one who had answered the phone was Qin Muchen!

He had heard everything that she said!

That was unwise!

Even if it was Nan Chuan, she should not judge Qin Muchen like that in front of him as well.

She regretted it immensely.

An Xia did not notice when Bai Jingshu had walked over. He slantingly leaned against the door frame, looking at An

Xia who was anxiously walking around while biting her fingers.

Fed up with it, Bai Jingshu finally spoke up. “Why do I not know that there’s a signal failure in the company?”

“Don’t talk to me—I’m so done.”

Apart from condemning Mr. Qin, Qin Muchen himself had even heard it.

What could she do now?

“How are you done? Did you leak any classified information about the company?” Bai Jingshu did not take it

seriously.

An Xia was actually very serious when it came to her work. However, she could be very insensitive in her daily lives.

An Xia pondered for a moment before turning her head over to look at Bai Jingshu. “Have you scolded Mr. Qin

before?”

Bai Jingshu was good at drawing inferences. He immediately questioned her back. “You scolded him?”

“No… Not really. I only said that he’s a scumbag…” An Xia laughed awkwardly.

After all, she did not mean it.

“Your courage is commendable. Call me ‘Boss’ and I might just bless your life.” Bai Jingshu burst into laughter as he

tried to show off.

An Xia then rolled her eyes toward him. “Bless me? You should wait till you die.”

Bai Jingshu did not get angry. Instead, this matter had developed his interest. “What makes you think that Qin

Muchen is a scumbag?” Bai Jingshu asked.

“Back then, when he was on a live broadcast with Gu Hanyan, I gave Ziyue a call. He was the one who had

answered it. Afterward, Ziyue did not call back at all. He must have kept it from her and did not tell her that I called.

Then, the news about the engagement between him and Gu Hanyan spread out. Since then, I wasn’t able to get

into contact with Ziyue and she vanished for two years!”

An Xia twitched her mouth. “At that moment, Qin Muchen told me that it was their personal affair and that I

shouldn’t rub my nose in it. I assumed he was worried that I would tell Ziyue something about him. I suppose Ziyue

did not know anything about him and Gu Hanyan being on a live broadcast at all; isn’t this enough to prove that he’s

a scumbag? He tried to cover up the fact that he was on a live broadcast with another woman, but he got engaged

to her the very next moment. That was why Ziyue had left for two years!”

Bai Jingshu seemed calm after listening to her.

After a while, he then said, “At that time, Muchen’s grandfather was seriously ill. Muchen and Hanyan…”

“Both Gu Hanyan and Qin Muchen are your friends. Thus, you wouldn’t think that it was them being at fault! Should

Ziyue really be concealed from knowing the truth? Why couldn’t he make things clear? Moreover, for someone like

Qin Muchen, it’s impossible to force him to do something unless it’s on his own accord! I believe you would know

this better than I do!”

An Xia only realized that she had said too much after finishing her sentence; she should not have gotten angry at

Bai Jingshu.

Even though it normally happened, where An Xia and Bai Jingshu would always joke and play around without him

getting angry. After all, the gap between them both was obvious.

“I’m sorry. It’s just unfair to Ziyue.”

Right after she was done speaking, An Xia picked up her bag before saying, “I’ll head home first.” With that, she left

immediately.

Bai Jingshu was the only person left in the office. He had gotten into a huff as he touched his forehead.

He did not know why things had ended up this unpleasant.

Initially, it was only the matter between Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue. Now, he was involved in this matter as well.

He hadn’t had a relationship with any woman for two years; he thought he was about to get into this one with his

hard work…

What now? He might have just annoyed An Xia too.

Woman, your name should be ‘Mrs. Unreasonable’!
