Chapter 109 In Love
After Qin Muchen closed the door, he loosened his neck tie as he felt his throat tighten. It seemed like a replay button was turned on in his mind, constantly replaying the scene where Su Ziyue stood naked in the room.
Qin Muchen put on a cold face as he walked downstairs while pulling at his neck tie. When he reached the dining table, he pulled off the tie. After drinking a huge glass of water, he felt better.
Then, he sat blankly at the table as he waited for Su Ziyue to join him for breakfast.
Su Ziyue sped up as she knew it was slightly late already. After she washed her face, she put on some make up hastily and came downstairs.
Although her waist and thighs were a little sore, it was not a big issue.
As she sat at the dining table, she noticed that Qin Muchen’s face looked as if someone owed him 8 million.
After giving it some thought, she felt the description was wrong. Even if someone really owed Qin Muchen 8 million, he wouldn’t mind at all; in his eyes, there wasn’t much difference between 8 million and 800 million.
She wasn’t quite sure why he had such a long face early in the morning.
As she ate her breakfast, Su Ziyue glanced at him repeatedly.
Qin Muchen glared over with his cold eyes, and his voice was calm and steady. “Eat your breakfast.”
Doesn’t she know that I’d find it difficult to focus if she keeps staring at me?
The pair of watery eyes were very seductive as he found it the hardest to resist.
Aren’t I eating already? She was speechless as she felt that he was being unreasonable.
Su Ziyue felt silly as she lowered her head. She finished her breakfast quickly and picked up her bag as she went out.
Qin Muchen’s face went black as he watched Si Ziyue finish her breakfast quickly and leave without saying a word as she headed out.
“Su Ziyue!” Qin Muchen yelled.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you on your period? If so, make yourself some brown sugar tea. I’m going to leave now, or else I’ll be late.”
Su Ziyue turned around and glanced at him impatienty. As she finished speaking, she ran out without any hesitation.
Qin Muchen tossed his knife and fork on the table before picking up his tie and headed out.
He put on his tie as he walked. When he reached the villa’s entrance, he only saw the back of Su Ziyue’s car as it drove off.
Qin Muchen watched as the car left and let out a cold snort. Not even a goodbye kiss. I won’t be putting any spices in your dinner tonight!
…
Su Ziyue was only 5 minutes early when she arrived at the company.
She murmured to herself as she complained about Qin Muchen and ran in her heels on the way to her office.
After she replaced Su Yige’s position as a director, her workload had increased significantly.
Apart from the project they were partnering with LK, she had to focus on other tasks as well.
Furthermore, it seemed like there was a meeting she had to personally handle herself.
The counterpart was only available in the morning, so she could only prepare her documents quickly and head out to meet with them.
After they met, the counterpart was slightly suspicious when they noticed it was not Su Yige, but they did not embarrass Su Ziyue.
Luckily, she had learned a lot from the projects she was working with LK Group, so she didn’t make any mistakes in between. The two parties had a good discussion and the meeting ended quickly.
By the time she came out, it was time for lunch.
She was thinking of going back to eat with An Xia when Lu Shichu called in.
When she noticed it was Lu Shichu, Su Ziyue was surprised. “Shichu.”
She had to thank him for what he did.
“Time to eat, Director Su.” She had no idea how Lu Shichu found out about her replacement as director. He kept on teasing her, but his tone was friendly and smiling.
Su Ziyue laughed immediately. “I am now someone with a high status now. I don’t go to places that are too cheap.”
“Okay, let’s eat somewhere expensive.”
Then, Lu Shichu gave her the address of a high class restaurant nearby. Although Lumiere Jade House was slightly better, this was not bad too.
Su Ziyue did not hesitate as she agreed immediately.
When she arrived at the restaurant, Lu Shichu was already there.
“I’m here, Ziyue.” Lu Shichu sat by the window as he called for her.
Su Ziyue followed the voice’s direction and walked over quickly. “It’s been over a week since I last saw you. What are you working on lately?”
“I’m busy getting employed.” Lu Shichu picked up the water kettle on the table and poured her a cup of water. He pushed the glass to her as he raised his eyes to look at her carefully. “Looking good. It seems like you had a good recovery.”
“It’s really all because of you.” Su Ziyue smiled at him and drank the water.
After hearing what she said, Lu Shichu paused for a moment and the smile disappeared a little.
He furrowed his brows and said, “I didn’t help you with anything. The person you should be thanking is Mr. Qin, for he…”
He hesitated for a moment before he continued, “treats you well.”
Su Ziyue was stunned when she heard the words. Even for someone like Lu Shichu, who hadn’t been much in contact with Qin Muchen, knew that he was kind to her.
Su Ziyue pursed her lips as she smiled, feeling light-hearted. However, when she thought of his bad temper this morning, she started complaining again. What she said did not align with what she felt. “Not that great. He is not kind to me at all.”
Her awkwardness looked as if she was a cute little girl falling madly in love.
Lu Shichu was slightly taken aback as he watched her, looking down to hide his sad gaze.
He felt astonished as the young lady, who was once his bicycle passenger, was now a woman who had fallen in love with another man.
