Chapter 86 I Only Hope You Don’t Get Hurt
Miss Su, please leave. Su Ziyue bit her lip as anger coursed through her veins for some reason. “President Qin, you can continue with your work. I’m leaving now.”
Qin Muchen’s hands, which were holding the document, stiffened before he slowly tightened his grip. President Qin? Very well then! Just when Su Ziyue stood up and prepared to go outside, she suddenly remembered what he had said to the female neighbor at the door of the apartment.
Turning her head abruptly to look at Qin Muchen, she said, “President Qin, you’re really the most generous person I have ever met. You don’t even care if your wife cheats on you.”
Qin Muchen glanced at her coldly and said with a gloomy tone, “You can try cheating on me if you wish.”
He obviously hadn’t believed what the female neighbor said.
An inexplicable joy bloomed in her heart, but still she said, “We are about to get a divorce.”
“But before the divorce certificate is issued, we are still legally married.”
Qin Muchen’s gaze was fixated on her. His deep gaze sucked her in like a whirlpool, making her unable to move her eyes away.
Su Ziyue shifted her gaze away in embarrassment. She then opened the door and walked out before helping him close the door.
After the sound of the footsteps outside gradually disappeared, Qin Muchen crumpled the divorce agreement in his hand and threw it into the trash can.
Reaching out and rubbing his temples, he took out his mobile phone to make a call. He said with a cold tone, “Bai Jingshu, I was right to put you on the blacklist.”
When Bai Jingshu on the other line heard his tone, he knew that something was wrong. “What’s the matter? Just tell me how Su Ziyue reacted.”
Qin Muchen’s expression became cold. “Call her sister-in-law!”
“Fine, sister-in-law.”
Qin Muchen’s expression eased up initially, but upon hearing him mention Su Ziyue, his expression darkened again. “She asked me to change the agreement! She actually wants to sign it!”
Fortunately, she only agreed to sign the agreement. If she really dared to sign the agreement in front of him, he would have taught her a lesson!
“But she still didn’t sign it in the end, right? Plus, she never told you what she wanted you to change in the agreement, isn’t it? This shows that she actually doesn’t want to sign it, but since she is a prideful girl, she gave you a random excuse!”
After Bai Jingshu finished speaking, he scoffed again, “How can you not understand such a simple thing?!”
Qin Muchen thought about it for a while and felt that Bai Jingshu’s words made sense. His expression eased up as he mocked him, “You have been messing around with women for so many years. Be careful not to let karma bite you in the arse.”
“Tsk, that’ll never happen!” Bai Jingshu’s tone was disdainful as he added, “We’re making concessions to gain advantages. If she really wanted to break things off with you, she would’ve just signed it. Women all like to say one thing but mean another. If you’re really at your wit’s end, don’t forget that you guys live together now. You can think of a way to make her pregn—”
Hearing this, Qin Muchen hung up the phone instantly. He shouldn’t fully trust the words of the playboy, Bai Jingshu.
Su Ziyue came out of Qin Muchen’s study and went straight to her room.
After organizing her things with her anger bottled up, she lay down on the bed in exhaustion.
He actually wanted to divorce her.
She knew it. How could Qin Muchen still have feelings for her after she said those things?
Su Ziyue turned over, her emotions in a mess.
Just then, her cell phone rang.
It was from an unknown local number.
“Hello, who is this?” Su Ziyue answered the call in confusion.
A cheerful male voice rang over the phone. “It’s me, Lu Shichu.”
“Shichu!” Su Ziyue immediately sat up from the bed, her misty eyes filled with surprise. “How did you get my number?”
“Did you forget? You sent an email to me after returning to China. I asked you about it.” Lu Shichu’s attractive voice reverberated again. “Are you free? Why don’t we have some high tea together?”
“Of course I’m free!”
“I’ll come pick you up then.”
“Alright!”
After hanging up the phone, Su Ziyue happily changed into her clothes and was about to go out.
As she passed Qin Muchen’s study, she paused for a moment before finally leaving.
She went to see Beef again before heading out.
Lu Shichu lived not far from Cloud Bay. Thus, he arrived very quickly in a Maserati.
“Get in the car!” He opened the door and shouted at Su Ziyue.
Su Ziyue got in with a smile and immediately started lecturing him, “When did you come back? I had no idea at all. How can you hide this from me?!”
Hearing her annoyed tone, Lu Shichu laughed. “Would you believe me if I said I only came back yesterday and haven’t had time to contact you?”
Su Ziyue raised her eyebrows to look at him. “What do you think?”
Lu Shichu laughed. “Let’s go and sit down at a coffee shop first. We can take our time to chat.”
Su Ziyue turned her head and glanced at Lu Shichu, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he hadn’t changed much even after all these years.
Lu Shichu was her neighbor when she was a child.
Her mother died young, so she lived with her father. Her father was very busy most of the time, so he couldn’t take good care of her even if he wanted to.
Over time, she somehow got acquainted with the middle-aged woman who lived next door as well as her son, Lu Shichu.
When her father went to jail, Lu Shichu was the only one who believed her.
After she returned to the Su family, Lu Shichu occasionally visited her. Thus, the two of them still kept in touch although they went abroad one after another.
The two of them were very close with each other.
They found a coffee shop and talked about their experiences over the years for the whole afternoon.
However, Su Ziyue skimmed over the incident that happened before she went abroad.
Lu Shichu was abroad in a far away country then. If he didn’t know about it, then forget it. She couldn’t be bothered to mention the past again and explain the whole incident to him.
“I only came back because my dad asked me to. I actually still have a report on a special topic in Australia that I haven’t finished.” Speaking of his father, Lu Shichu felt helpless.
“Why did he ask you to come back?” Su Ziyue stirred the coffee in front of her and looked up while asking him.
“Maybe he’s worried that I’m going to get married abroad,” Lu Shichu said. He then laughed before his expression turned solemn. “What happened last night? What is your relationship with Mr. Qin?”
He still remembered Qin Muchen addressing her as his wife.
“Me and him? We…” Su Ziyue’s mood soured when he mentioned Qin Muchen. She carefully thought about what explanation she should give him, but still she was at a loss for words.
Although she had known Lu Shichu ever since she was a child, to her, Lu Shichu was different from An Xia. She could not bring herself to tell him everything that had happened after she returned to China.
As soon as Lu Shichu saw her embarrassed look, he was very understanding and stopped asking questions. He only reminded her, “Do you even know the identity of Mr. Qin?”
“Yes. He’s the president of LK Group.” Su Ziyue’s voice became softer.
The look in Lu Shichu’s eyes deepened. “When I was abroad, he was my patient. I have heard some rumors about him. He started his own business at the age of fourteen and took 13 years to become a financial tycoon in Europe. Ordinary people can’t even compare to his financial resources and abilities.”
“Oh.” Su Ziyue was stunned after hearing this. She didn’t know these things about him at all.
“Ziyue, you know what I want to say, right? Mr. Qin is not an ordinary person. No matter what your relationship is with him, I just hope you don’t get hurt.”
He knew that Qin Muchen had just returned to China some time ago, and he also knew that Su Ziyue was not the type of girl who would easily fall for a man. Besides, Qin Muchen also called her his wife.
However, due to Qin Muchen’s identity, he had no choice but to doubt Qin Muchen’s intentions.
