Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Lu Shichu didn’t continue the topic.

Instead, he placed the menu in front of Su Ziyue and said, “Let’s order something.”

Su Ziyue picked up the menu and ordered two dishes. Then, she got up and said, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Lu Shichu watched as she walked away. He picked up the menu and was about to order some food when he heard someone calling, “President Qin.”

Lu Shichu turned around warily and saw a woman in her uniform holding her cell phone. She looked solemn, as if the caller from the other end was giving some instructions.

The woman sounded slightly pressed. “However, there’s no private room anymore. I booked a table in the common area.”

Not knowing what the caller on the other end said, the woman nodded. She sat down and did not leave again.

Lu Shichu stared at the woman for 2 seconds before he turned away suddenly. He then called for the server. “Can we switch our table?”

The server nodded in agreement and helped them move to another table.

Lu Shichu wanted a table at the corner which was quiet and slightly secluded.

As he sat at the new table, he would have a better view of the common dining area and the woman who was on the phone earlier.

Yunzhou City was really huge and there were plenty of people whose surname was Qin. Inexplicably, he felt the woman on the phone was talking to Qin Muchen.

When Su Ziyue came out from the restroom, she noticed Lu Shichu was already seated at the corner.

Lu Shichu smiled when he saw her. “It will soon be crowded and the private rooms are full. It’s more quiet here.”

“Okay.” Su Ziyue sat down without a second thought.

Her back was facing the door, so she didn’t notice the woman who was on the phone earlier.

Lu Shichu’s eyes dimmed for a moment. However, it came and went so quickly that no one caught sight of it.

Shortly after, the dishes arrived.

Su Ziyue had a busy morning, so when the food came up, she started to feast on it; the food stuffed her cheeks made her look like a hamster.

Lu Shichu was not eating as much. He was looking at her most of the time, passing her the food and pouring the juice constantly.

However, he casually glanced over Su Ziyue’s shoulder occasionally to look at the woman who was on the phone earlier.

Lu Shichu retracted his gaze when he noticed that Su Ziyue was reaching for a cold side dish. He stopped her and said, “You must eat less of this.”

“Work obsessed freak.” Su Ziyue wrinkled her nose but retracted her chopsticks.

At that moment, a tall woman wearing sunglasses came into the restaurant. She was dressed in international branded items from head to toe, and her presence at the restaurant was attracting a lot of attention.

The tall woman talked to the server at the door and was then brought into the dining area.

Lu Shichu squinted his eyes as the tall woman was brought to the table with the woman on the phone earlier.

She sat down instantly. Without removing her sunglasses, she said something softly and did not speak again; she seemed to be waiting for a response.

Lu Shichu seemed to have been staring for too long, which made Su Zhiyue turn around to have a look as well.

“What are you looking at?” She followed his line of sight and noticed the tall woman who was wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Lu Shichu came back to his senses as he turned to her and said, “Nothing.”

Su Ziyue turned around to look at the tall woman in sunglasses again and said to Lu Shichu while smiling sneakily, “It’s alright. I get it. You are a man and when you see pretty women, you can’t resist a second look.”

Lu Shichu heard her words as he smiled and replied solemnly, “Not as pretty as you.”

“Oh, please.” The woman earlier attracted much attention with her height. Although she was wearing sunglasses, it was not difficult to know that she was a beauty judging from her lips and nose.

Su Ziyue knew she looked fine. Nevertheless, she knew where she was at on the spectrum.

Lu Shichu didn’t mind that she thought so. He didn’t continue the topic any further.

Instead, Su Ziyue couldn’t resist turning her head around again. “For some reason, I think she looks familiar.”

However, she couldn’t remember where she had seen her.

Lu Shichu replied vaguely, “Is that so?”

Su Ziyue didn’t mind. Since it was not someone relevant, it was alright to not remember.

When they were preparing to leave after they finished eating, she turned around and spotted a very familiar Bently parked outside suddenly.

She glanced at the car number plate; if she remembered it correctly, it seemed to be Qin Muchen’s car.

Su Ziyue was shocked as she clenched her bag tighter. “Quick, let’s go.”

Although Qin Muchen had never mentioned it before, Su Ziyue could tell that he didn’t quite seem to like Lu Shichu.

Lu Shichu gave her a look and his voice sounded teaseful. Then, he glanced over her shoulder. “It’s too late.”

Su Ziyue was speechless when she looked over, for Qin Muchen was already striding toward them and his footsteps were hasty.

Su Ziyue seemed horrid. She was plotting her defense when Qin Muchen stopped walking suddenly.

He… was not here to look for her?

Su Ziyue was stunned. She then realized that Qin Muzhen had sat down in front of the tall woman with sunglasses.

It was only when the woman sitting across the tall lady stood up to leave did Su Ziyue realize that she was Qin Muchen’s assistant.

As his assistant left, the table was left with only Qin Muchen and the woman in sunglasses.

The woman then removed her sunglasses, revealing a beautiful face.

After Su Ziyue had a good look at her features, she was reminded why the woman seemed familiar all of a sudden.

Lu Shichu, who was sitting across Su Ziyue, piped up and asked, “Does Mr. Qin know Gu Hanyan?’

“I don’t know…” Su Ziyue shook her head, looking a little confused.

This woman is Gu Hanyan, an international film star.

She debuted at the young age of 15, starring in a film that had a huge breakthrough in the entertainment industry. Then, she continued to ride the wave without facing any obstacles. She had been in the industry for a decade and her fans spanned all over the world.

Some said that Gu Hanyan had a great background, speculating that her father was a certain oil and gas tycoon; other than that, there were rumors claiming her to be the illegitimate daughter of a certain country’s president.

After all, she debuted at 15 with a leading role; it was natural for her to get the best scripts. There wasn’t a single piece of gossip within the last 10 years, so everyone was curious about her mysterious background.

Why does Qin Muchen know her?

Lu Shichu’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “Aren’t you going to say hi?”

Su Ziyue raised her head to look at Lu Shichu’s face; she couldn’t help but to glance over again.

Qin Muchen was not facing her, so she could not read his expressions. Instead, she could see Gu Hanyan’s.

She said something every now and then. Judging from the frequency her lips moved, the pace was slow. She stopped talking and Qin Muchen said something in reply; it made her laugh while she covered her mouth.

She was indeed an international film star—every move of hers looked extremely elegant and styled.

In the beginning, Su Ziyue was only slightly surprised to see Qin Muchen sitting there, but now, she was completely alert.
