Marry Me Quick

Chapter 55

Su Ziyue glared at An Xia while the latter stuck out her tongue at her and stopped talking.

On the other hand, Bai Jingshu hid at the side, took a few photos of Su Ziyue, and sent them to Qin Muchen with a

message that read, Muchen, your wife is so pretty even when she is picking the edible part of vegetables.

…

Qin Muchen was having a meeting at LK Group.

Sitting at the head of the table with a copy of a proposal that had just been handed to him, he looked more ghastly

as he read through it.

Seeing that his face was clouding over, the other executives who were present fell silent, deathly afraid to even

breathe loudly.

After a minute, Qin Muchen threw the proposal in his hand to the middle of the conference table and said with a

cold tone, “Is this the proposal you came up with after discussing and researching for a month?”

The temperature in the meeting room dropped abruptly as no one dared to speak.

No one could figure out the temper of this big boss, and no one dared to provoke him either.

Ding dong.

Qin Muchen turned his head and glanced at his phone. It was a notification for a new text message.

He opened it nonchalantly and found that it was Bai Jingshu who had sent him the message.

When he viewed it, he saw Su Ziyue sitting on a stool with her head down while picking the edible part of

vegetables.

His knitted brows slightly eased. There were several photos; he clicked to save each one to his gallery until he saw

the message: Muchen, your wife is so pretty even when she is picking the edible part of vegetables.

Knowing that she was his wife, Bai Jingshu still dared to take photos and send them to him, showing off in front of

Qin Muchen; he couldn’t even enter Su Ziyue’s place now.

I won’t go back to Yunteng to help him anymore!

The subordinates present were all watching Qin Muchen’s expression. Seeing his expression that had eased turned

gloomy again, everyone prayed for themselves in their hearts; they seemed to be unable to escape.

Qin Muchen held the phone in his hand without raising his head. “I will give you another week. If you still can’t come

up with a proposal that satisfies me, you will pack everything and go home!”

The subordinates replied in unison, “Thank you, President!”

His willingness to give them a chance was already a show of mercy.

Earlier on, they had heard that their boss had just returned to China, but he didn’t really show up much, only

coming to the company more frequently in recent days.

His decisiveness and vigor made these subordinates who had been lazing around for a long time suffer.

“The meeting is over. You all may leave.” Although Qin Muchen directed the words at his group of subordinates, his

eyes were still fixed on the photo of Su Ziyue.

She did not appear cold when picking edible parts of vegetables at all, but she looked rather gentle.

His slender fingertip gently scratched Su Ziyue’s face on the screen as a hint of tenderness appeared in his dark

eyes.

He had not been able to sleep well for many days in a row; he hadn’t had this problem when he was abroad for so

many years. Why can’t I sleep without her by my side?

As long as it was related to her, it could make him angry even if it was just a small matter, which was not like him at

all.

Nan Chuan was right; I should get a proper medical examination. Maybe it’s just a health problem that prevents me

from sleeping well.

As he was thinking about it, he received Nan Chuan’s call.

“Boss, I made an appointment with a doctor for you. Your secretary said that you could spare an hour at noon.”

In other words, he needed to go for the medical examination during this one hour.

Qin Muchen frowned and said without hesitation, “I have something to do at noon. Change the time.”

After that, he was slightly stunned; he didn’t seem to have any appointments at noon...

He just wanted to go to Su Ziyue’s place.

She can let Bai Jingshu in, but why not me?

…

Bai Jingshu sat on the sofa in the living room like a boss, watching the game on TV.

Su Ziyue arranged the ingredients that An Xia had cut onto plates and put them on the table one by one. After

realizing that a plate of beef was too full, she planned to go in the kitchen and take another plate out to put the

extra meat.

Right after she went into the kitchen, Bai Jingshu’s phone rang.

He glanced toward the direction of the kitchen before answering the phone. “What?”

“Open the door.”

This short phrase was only heard on the phone before the call disconnected. It was such a typical move for Qin

Muchen—being straightforward and concise with irrelevant people.

Pooh! I’ve known Qin Muchen for more than ten years, so why have I become an irrelevant person to him?

Bai Jingshu felt that he also needed to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

He glanced secretly toward the direction of the kitchen; the kitchen was semi-open. He saw An Xia and Su Ziyue

standing together and talking. They happened to be facing away from him, so he stood up and opened the door

sneakily.

As soon as Bai Jingshu opened the door, he asked, “Aren’t you going for a body checkup at noon today? Why did

you come here?”

Qin Muchen glanced at him and said nothing.

Bai Jingshu shut his mouth knowingly; he couldn’t help but guess what was going on between Qin Muchen and Su

Ziyue now.

He could smell the hot pot seasoning as soon as he entered the house.

He had lived here for nearly two months, so he was very clear about the layout of the place.

After walking in, he looked around for Su Ziyue.

Bai Jingshu walked to him and whispered, “She’s in the kitchen.”

He looked toward the kitchen and heard a string of crisp laughter; both girls started laughing after saying

something.

An Xia gave a dry cough and whispered, “I think of the egomaniac when I see a toothpick now…”

Su Ziyue beat her lightly. “If Bai Jingshu hears this, he will surely beat you up.”

“I’m not afraid of him. He is so fair and thin—just like a weak chicken.” An Xia pouted as she stirred the contents of

the pot with a ladle.

Remembering that she came in to get a plate, Su Ziyue turned around and opened the cupboard, barely able to

reach the plate by tiptoeing…

Suddenly, a powerful arm was suddenly placed around her waist to stabilize her body, while another hand appeared

in front of her and took a plate down.

Su Ziyue’s heart skipped a beat as she turned her head hurriedly. She then caught sight of Qin Muchen’s deep and

beautiful eyes.

“Why don’t you ask others to get it for you? Why must you always act tough?” Qin Muchen scolded her lightly as he

washed the plate under the tap.

Su Ziyue stared at him blankly. “Why are you here?”

Her question was ‘why are you here’, and not ‘how did you get in’.

Qin Muchen paused his movement slightly as a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

“Umm…”

An Xia plucked up the courage and said, “Mr. Qin, just give me this plate.”

An Xia reached out and took the plate from Qin Muchen’s hand. She then handed him a dry towel and said, “Wipe

your hands.”

There was a kind of person in this world who was born to be looked up to, and An Xia thought that Qin Muchen was

such a kind of person.

She felt something was wrong when she watched him bend down to wash the plate. She wanted to take it to wash it

herself and serve Qin Muchen a cup of tea just so that he could sit peacefully by the side.

She had always been a person with no sense of class; it was the first time she had such a terrifying sense of

resignation after seeing someone.

“Thank you.”

Unlike the unkindness he showed when he saw An Xia for the first time, Qin Muchen took the towel and thanked her

politely.

An Xia quickly waved her hand. “It’s nothing.”

Don’t thank me, I’ll feel stressed.
