Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125

Su Ziyue had a good night’s sleep.

When she was finally awake, Qin Muchen was no longer by her side.

The phone which she had put by the bed also started ringing.

Su Ziyue sat herself up to grab the phone from the bedside. The moment she saw who the caller was on the display was, her semi-conscious mind immediately became alert.

She tucked the lock of hair that was in front of her eyes to the back of her ears before answering the call. “Grandpa.”

Su Youcheng’s stern voice came from the other end of the call. “Come to the company at this instant.”

The moment he finished talking, he hung up the phone.

He sounded really frosty indeed. Su Ziyue did not care too much about it, so she put the phone back.

He was probably called her because of what happened at the studio the previous day.

Su Ziyue freshened up and put on some makeup before leaving the house.

Su Youcheng sounded like he was infuriated, but she would just let him be; he had never shown her a good attitude after all.

The angrier he was, the calmer she had to be.

When she passed by the study room just now, the door was half open and she overheard a conversation inside.

“Muchen, regardless, Hanyan got hurt because of Su Ziyue. What do you have to lose by paying her a visit?”

This was Bai Jingshu’s voice.

Hearing him mention Gu Hanyan, Su Ziyue subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

She took out her phone to look at the time and noted that it was nine in the morning. Bai Jingshu had put in so much effort because of Gu Hanyan.

Compared to Bai Jingshu’s relentless persuasion, Qin Muchen sounded much more composed. “I visited her yesterday.”

“You visited her yesterday, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t visit her today.” Bai Jingshu sounded mad.

“Why do I still need to visit her today?” Qin Muchen’s voice sounded calm, but there was a hint of frustration.

Su Ziyue felt like she had become more observant as she could know Qin Muchen’s emotions through his tone.

“Y-You know how she feels toward you, yet you…” Bai Jingshu was getting angry.

The room was silent for a moment before Qin Muchen’s voice was heard once again. He sounded solemn. “I know the way she feels toward me. That is more the reason why I can’t visit her. I have a wife and I need to take her feelings into consideration. I’m not like you.”

“Why am I being dragged into this?”

“You need to draw in your horns too. If not, you’ll meet your misfortune sooner or later.”

Su Ziyue almost giggled when she heard this.

Bai Jingshu must have dropped by to persuade Qin Muchen to go to the hospital to pay Gu Hanyan a visit, but in the end, he was scolded by Qin Muchen instead.

Su Ziyue immediately felt a sense of accomplishment.

Bai Jingshu then changed the topic of conversation when he felt like Qin Muchen could not be persuaded.

When Su Ziyue heard them changing the topic of conversation, she pushed the door open and entered the room.

“Morning.” Su Ziyue marched in looking like her usual self.

When she shifted her gaze toward Bai Jingshu, she pretended to be shocked as she asked, “Why are you here so early, Bai Jingshu? Are you here to scrounge a free meal?”

“Haha, yes.” Seeing Su Ziyue, Bai Jingshu felt guilty as he recalled the conversation he just had.

He rubbed his nose and coughed a couple of times before shifting his gaze somewhere else.

Su Ziyue did not look at him anymore. She had turned her head toward Qin Muchen. “I need to drop by the company.”

Qin Muchen’s gaze turned sullen as he looked at her. “Do you want me to accompany you?”

“No need. I’m just going to settle some matters in the company.” Su Ziyue shook her head, feeling that Qin Muchen was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Ding!

Su Ziyue received a notification on her phone. Her expression turned sullen after she took out her phone to look at the notification.

“Have you seen this?” asked Su Ziyue, putting her phone right in front of Qin Muchen.

Qin Muchen answered, “Yes.”

So, he wasn’t actually making a mountain out of a molehill.

Su Ziyue read the news again and her expression turned even more sullen.

‘International movie star, Gu Hanyan, was injured yesterday when a ceiling light in a studio fell down while she was having a shoot for a software application’s collaboration. Her current condition remains unclear and the company hasn’t made any clarifications… Some witnesses heard Gu Hanyan’s manager saying, “Haven’t you hurt Hanyan enough?” Perhaps from the very beginning, this matter…’

This news had its facts and it was detailed.

It had indirectly pointed the problem toward the company, claiming that the company was too petty for using such a lousy studio, which was why even the ceiling light would drop.

Then, the news emphasized on the remark and pushed this incident in the direction of a conspiracy theory.

Su Ziyue put on a poker face while she finished reading the news. She also understood why Su Youcheng was so angry now.

When a celebrity was injured by a ceiling light that had dropped down in a studio while working for the sake of being the spokesperson for a product, this matter could be dismissed as a small matter, but it could also turn into something major depending on how it was handled.

If the incident was well-handled, it would be a simple, minor incident and everyone would come out unharmed at the end of the matter.

If it was poorly handled, it would directly affect the image of application, and even Su Group would be affected too.

When Su Ziyue was reading the news, Bai Jingshu also received a notification on his phone.

After reading the news, his face turned solemn as well. He only said a sentence after he finished reading the news. “There is someone behind this.”

“I still need to go to the company first regardless.”

Su Ziyue kept her phone away and did not bother on how she was going to handle the aftermath of this incident. She had to go to the company and face Su Youcheng first before proceeding to the next step.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to accompany you?” Qin Muchen looked at her in a solemn manner while knitting his brows.

Su Ziyue was touched. She then reached her hands out and poked him on his forehead. After staring at him for half a second, she suddenly leaned in toward him and gave him a kiss on the lips.

After that, she said, “I can handle this.” With that, she ran out in her high heels.

“D*mn it. Stop displaying your affection so publicly early in the morning,” said Bai Jingshu softly, covering his face with his hands.

With no emotions on his face, Qin Muchen touched his lips before quickly retracting his hands again. He then opened his laptop as if nothing had happened.

Bai Jingshu turned his head and pointed at Qin Muchen. “Muchen, why are your ears so red?”

Qin Muchen was relentlessly typing on the keyboard. His voice was steady and had no emotions in it as he replied, “The air in here is stuffy.”

Bai Jingshu took a look at the half-open window and really took Qin Muchen’s words for it. So, he got up and helped Muchen open the window.

After Qin Muchen had come back to his senses, he calmly deleted all the letters which he had randomly typed out just now and started his work.

Bai Jingshu turned around and saw Qin Muchen who was working seriously.

Since he did not manage to persuade Qin Muchen, he did not want to linger there any longer, so he turned around and left.

He was at the main door when he stumbled across Su Ziyue, who had just driven out of the garage.

“Ziyue, do bring Muchen to the hospital to pay Hanyan a visit when you’re free.” Bai Jingshu waved at her.

Su Ziyue rolled down her window and put on a big smile. This smile was so dazzling that it nearly blinded Bai Jingshu’s eyes.

Then, he heard Su Ziyue’s cold voice. “Miss Gu saved me. I should be the one visiting her. Why should I have Qin Muchen go visit her? I’m not crazy.”

Bai Jingshu was speechless. Haha, I’m the crazy one here. Are you satisfied now?

Su Ziyue nodded. “Good.”

Bai Jingshu was baffled. What the heck? I didn’t even say anything. What did Su Ziyue mean by this?
