Chapter 302
The corner of Su Ziyue’s clothes were soaked, and her hair was a little wet too.
Qin Muchen was stunned as he put down the things in his hands and took off his jacket, then he handed it to Su
Ziyue. “Change it.”
After a moment, he asked, “Not changing?” Qin Muchen noticed that she didn’t take over the jacket. He narrowed
his gaze as a trace of maliciousness filled his eyes. “I’ll help you.”
“Don’t you dare!” Su Ziyue immediately hugged herself tightly, looking at him cautiously.
She was wearing a two-piece sports attire, and her undergarment was a singlet!
Qin Muchen glanced at her as if he had thought of something. He then put his jacket on her directly and turned
around to continue fishing.
The situation was a bit weird; she was washing the clothes by the river while Qin Muchen was spearing fish by the
river, with his sleeves rolled up.
The river water level wasn’t too deep in spring time, and the water was clean and clear. Qin Muchen had long limbs,
so even when he was standing by the riverbank, he was able to throw it really far.
Su Ziyue raised her head and looked at him, feeling as if they had been transported to another lifetime.
There is the type of person who is born aristocratic and superior. Even if they only wore the simplest outfit while
doing the most ordinary things, they would shine bright like a diamond, catching people’s attention, and Qin
Muchen is that type of man. But, is it no longer possible for us to get back together.
She lowered her eyes and looked away from Qin Muchen, but he had been watching her.
He was holding the stick and catching the fish indeed, but his gaze was actually focused on Su Ziyue.
At that moment, he caught sight of a white shadow figure from the corner of his eyes.
Qin Muchen turned around abruptly and noticed that a small tree in the bush not too far away was shaking.
There was definitely someone there. This is the second time already. And, it is always when Su Ziyue and I are
together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA dark look flashed across his eyes as he thought, No matter who that person was and no matter what the motive
was, I will not let go of him.
Su Ziyue had finished washing the clothes and was about to head back, while Qin Muchen tied the fish he caught
together with rope made by grass and followed behind her.
Su Ziyue thought Qin Muchen looked goofy, but at the same time, she felt that his mood seemed to have gone
downhill.
They returned to Madam Zhang’s house. As Su Ziyue was hanging the clothes, Qin Muchen kept on watching her
from the side.
However, his expression was slightly gloomy.
When Su Ziyue was done hanging the clothes and was about to leave, Qin Muchen grabbed her by the arm and
asked, “Anything happened these few days?”
“Nope.” Su Ziyue shook her head and denied reflexively.
Although she really didn’t want to admit the truth, Qin Muchen’s arrival had indeed relieved her of the fear she
previously had.
The concept that Qin Muchen was an almighty presence was already deeply ingrained in her heart.
So, with him by her side, she’d feel secure and safe.
“Tell me the truth.” Qin Muchen didn’t let go of her and instead strengthened his grip.
Su Ziyue was slightly annoyed. “Who are you to me? Why do I need to answer your questions? Furthermore, I said
no, so that means no. Let go of me!”
Qin Muchen’s face was stiff as he stared at her for a few seconds. He looked as if he wanted to punch her in the
face.
Su Ziyue felt a little guilty subconsciously when she looked at Qin Muchen.
Fortunately, Qin Muchen let go of her in the next moment and left.
Su Ziyue heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a little empty inside.
Qin Muchen did not go back to his room directly.
He went to look for Madam Zhang.
“Are you busy? I caught two fish. Here, stew it for your children to replenish their nutrients.” Qin Muchen looked
impassive as usual, but his voice was not as cold as before.
He noticed the two children coming back from school in the afternoon.
“Young man, you’re amazing! The fishes in the river are very wild. How did you manage to catch them?” Madam
Zhang was actually speaking in her native dialect, which had a strong accent to it, but luckily, the pronunciation was
not too far off from Mandarin.
Qin Muchen put down the fish and started a conversation, chatting with her casually.
“Must be hard to bring up two children alone, yes?”
Madam Zhang shook her head as she smiled helplessly. “It is not just that. In the beginning, I thought about giving
up all of our lives together, but then again, everyone has their own destiny…”
All in all, although Madam Zhang sounded helpless and had accepted her fate, it wasn’t too difficult to notice
Madam Zhang’s hope in life.
Being a mother was not easy.
In a brief moment, Qin Muchen looked at Madam Zhang and was caught in his memories.
He quickly pulled himself together and there was a slight change in his expression as he said, “Don’t you worry;
everything will get better.”
Madam Zhang laughed loudly as she sounded glad. “Right? First, Yannan came back to teach the kids; then, you
guys showed up to help us. Our lives will definitely get better and better!”
Qin Muchen replied hoarsely, “Yes, of course.”
For some people, they were always working harder than most people to survive, but luck and fate were not on their
side. People would say that poverty and suffering would always come hand in hand.
He realized that Madam Zhang had mentioned ‘Yannan’ earlier, and he recalled the white figure he saw. He asked,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You mentioned there was someone teaching here?”
“Yeah, his name is Lee Yannan. He’s also a poor kid. He lost his parents when he was younger, and he grew up
receiving blessings around the neighbourhood. Then, he left the village to earn a better living, but I didn’t expect
he’d come back to teach. He’s indeed a grateful child!”
Madam Zhang looked grateful when she brought up Lee Yannan.
However, Qin Muchen knitted his brows slightly.
From Madam Zhang’s tone, it seemed as if Lee Yannan is a person with gratitude. However, if he was really
someone with gratitude and integrity, then how come he was following my woman secretly?
Although Qin Muchen couldn’t be sure, based on his assumption, he thought the person must have been Lee
Yannan.
The reason was because the people in the village were all farmers, and they all had to work in the field during the
day. It was impossible for someone to wear a white-colored shirt which was too hard to avoid being dirtied.
He only needed to ask someone to find out what the situation was.
“I have something to do, so I’ll get going.”
After Qin Muchen excused himself from Madam Zhang, he went back to his room.
The moment he entered the room, he told one of his men, “Call Nan Chuan for me… Forget it, I’ll call him myself.”
Before he went to the village, he knew there were no phone signals, so he had already prepared a satellite phone.
The call went through after a while.
“Boss, you’ve arrived?”
Qin Muchen didn’t bother to answer Nan Chuan’s question, and he demanded right away, “Look for someone called
Lee Yannan for me. Now.”
“I happened to be looking up on someone. I’ll ask them to check for you now and you’ll get the results soon.”
As Nan Chuan finished speaking, he turned to the worker next to him and said, “Look for someone called Lee
Yannan.”
Immediately, before Qin Muchen could hand up the phone, Nan Chuan said, “There are over a hundred Lee Yannan
in total, and one of them is a fugitive on the run…”
