Chapter 112 Last Night, He Did Not Come Back
Someone was missing by her side. Su Ziyue tossed and turned in bed for a long time as she could not fall asleep. She got up and went to Qin Muchen’s liquor cabinet. After choosing the most expensive liquor, she opened it and drank half of the small bottle before feeling drowsy and fell asleep right away.
By the time she woke up, the sun was already out. Si Ziyue opened her eyes and started at the ceiling for a moment before she sprung up from the bed.
She looked at her phone; it was half past seven in the morning. Thank goodness—it’s not that late.
She headed to the bathroom to wash up and get dressed. When she came downstairs, she realized that the living room was silent. “Qin Muchen.”
She walked toward the kitchen and called out Qin Muchen’s name. Clearly, she had already forgotten everything that had happened last night.
After pushing through the kitchen door and noticing that there was no one there, Su Ziyue had a slight change in her expression. Where is Qin Muchen?
She turned around abruptly and ran into their bedroom upstairs. She then walked into their bathroom and reached for the huge towel that was next to her pink one. It was dry…
The towel hadn’t been used at all, which meant that Qin Muchen did not come home last night.
Su Ziyue couldn’t explain her feelings; she went downstairs feeling unsettled.
Since Qin Muchen wasn’t there, she didn’t know how to make her own breakfast. So, she grabbed her bag and headed toward the door, getting ready to go to the company immediately.
Suddenly, she remembered something when she was on the move; she turned around and walked into the kitchen to grab the trash bag.
Inside the trash bag were the three dishes she threw away last night. Luckily, it was late autumn, so the smell did not stink as much.
Su Ziyue’s was expressionless when she threw the trash bag into the bigger dumpster outside their house. Then, she drove herself to work.
…
“Morning, Director Su!”
Just like the past few days, people were greeting her the moment she set foot into the company.
Su Ziyue was expressionless when she entered the elevator and she heard someone gossiping behind her back.
“What happened to Director Su today?”
“It seems like she’s not in a good mood…”
“Seeing how she brought her own feelings to work, she’s not up to par with Miss Su after all…”
As the elevator door closed, the gossip was shut out.
Su Ziyue turned around and looked at the bright elevator wall.
Reflected in the elevator wall was her emotionless face.
They were right; one shouldn’t bring their own emotions to work.
As the elevator stopped at her floor, Su Ziyue went into her office and started the day’s work.
An Xia arrived earlier than her. When she noticed that Su Ziyue had gone into her office, she followed suit and served her a cup of milk tea.
“It looks like you have not eaten breakfast. Well, there is some leftover bread that I brought, so you can have it with the milk tea.”
An Xia placed the bread and milk tea in front of her as she had a good look at her face. “You don’t look well today.”
When Su Ziyue heard the words, she smiled and said, “I might’ve been too tired yesterday.”
Then, she picked up the milk tea and gave it a sip before saying, “Thank you.”
An Xia rolled her eyes at her. “I’ve got things to do, so I shall get going. Make sure you finish the food before you start working,” she said.
“Okay.” Si Ziyue watched as An Xia left her office before withdrawing her gaze.
Although she didn’t have much appetite, she mustn’t starve herself as there were many tasks to be done at the moment.
…
In the afternoon, Su Ziyue and An Xia had lunch together outside.
An Xia sat down and picked up the menu on the table to connect to the restaurant’s Wi-Fi. Once she was connected to the internet, she started chatting. “Thank goodness we came earlier. Otherwise, there won’t be any internet available.”
“If we don’t have our phones and Wi-Fi one day…”
Su Ziyue hadn’t finished her words, but she was interrupted by An Xia along with a sharp gaze. “Don’t make such assumptions.”
Su Ziyue was speechless; she thought it was no fun and turned away.
In the next moment, she heard An Xia scream as she said, “God! My goddess Yan has returned home! Ahhhh!”
An Xia widened her eyes as she looked at Gu Hanyan on the screen. Then, she passed the phone and showed it to Su Ziyue. “Look—my goddess Yan; those long legs and fair skin together with that smile…”
Su Ziyue just remembered that An Xia was Gu Hanyan’s hard-core fan for many years.
Looking at how excited An Xia was, she really wanted to tell her she had already seen Gu Hanyan yesterday.
When she thought of Gu Hanyan, she would automatically think of Qin Muchen as well.
“I know.” Su Ziyue replied sullenly as she pushed her phone back.
An Xia did not notice her reaction. When the phone was returned to her, she continued to refresh her feed for the latest updates.
As she was swiping, she widened her eyes and yelled in anger. “My goddess Yan spent a night with a man at a hotel! Have the media reporters lost their minds!”
After hearing An Xia’s words, Su Ziyue subconsciously replayed the scene yesterday where Qin Muchen and Gu Hanyan got into the car together in her mind.
An Xia continued to hit the refresh button. “What the f*ck! These reporters have lost their minds. Why would my goddess Yan, who has such a great background, ever need to please a man with Bentley?”
A Bentley?
Su Ziyue’s heart jumped out of her chest as she stretched her hand to snatch An Xia’s phone.
“Hey… What are you doing? I haven’t finished reading yet.” An Xia reached over to grab her phone.
However, Su Ziyue ignored her and stared at the picture on the screen.
On the picture, there was an obvious black Bentley parked in front of the entrance.
Although the car license plate was blurred, the logo of Bentley could still be seen.
The driver’s door was wide open and Gu Hanyan was standing at the door, leaning slightly in and talking to the driver. However, from an outsider’s point of view, her posture seemed extremely intimate.
It was captioned below, “International film star seem to be taken. She has a boyfriend.”
She scrolled further down, and there were a few more pictures.
One of them was the silhouette of the person coming out from the driver’s seat.
The picture was slightly blurry, but for Su Ziyue who was familiar with Qin Muchen, she recognized him right away.
Even An Xia, who failed to snatch over her phone earlier, came around Su Ziyue’s side to read with her. She then said, “For some reason, I feel that this man looks a bit like Mr. Qin.”
Su Ziyue put in a lot of effort to finally calm herself down.
She returned the phone to An Xia. “Let’s eat first. We still need to head back to the office to work.”
An Xia took over her phone and wanted to get a closer look. However, it was confiscated by Su Ziyue as she said, “You are not allowed to look at your phone while eating.”
Deep down, An Xia felt confused. “Still, I think the man in the picture really looks like Mr. Qin.”
Su Ziyue blinked and lowered her eyes. “Do you really think so?”
It’s not just look-alike; the man is literally Qin Muchen.
Su Ziyue pursed her lips; just as she was about to speak, the phone that was set aside rang.
After taking a look at it, it was the person whom An Xia mentioned earlier—Qin Muchen.
Su Ziyue glanced over and hung up without hesitation.
The phone rang again. She glanced at An Xia who was sitting in front of her, took over the phone and switched it to silent mode. Then, she placed it on the table with the screen facing downward.
