After Qin Muchen had sent Beef away, he returned to the table as if nothing had happened and resumed eating, but Su Ziyue could feel a gust of thunderstorm coming her way.
She braced the pressure and after finishing her dinner, she rushed into the bedroom, but when she was showering, Qin Muchen barged in and gave her a bout of proper ‘loving’ education.
The next day, Su Ziyue held her waist when she came downstairs. She noticed that Qin Muchen was in a good mood.
“Come get breakfast.”
Haha. Su Ziyue laughed sarcastically in her mind.
She walked over, snatched the hot cup of milk that was in his hands and thumped it on the table. She then sat down and started eating.
The corner of Qin Muchen’s lips turned up in a smile as he slowly enjoyed his breakfast. He looked extraordinarily elegant with his actions.
Suddenly, Qin Muchen said, “Come home earlier tonight.”
“Okay.” Su Ziyue responded casually. He often repeated the same thing, so she didn’t really put it to mind.
Qin Muchen wasn’t satisfied with the response, so he frowned. “If you don’t come back on time, I shall send Beef away.”
Su Ziyue choked. She then drank a huge mouthful of milk to settle down. “Noted.”
Su Ziyue thought Qin Muchen’s tone was annoying and he was getting very overbearing.
As she thought of this, she raised her head and glanced at Qin Muchen. Noticing that he was looking at her, Su Ziyue asked him, “Is there anything happening?”
Qin Muchen was taken aback at the question. “Nothing. You just have to come back earlier.”
“Oh, alright.” Although that was what he said, Su Ziyue knew he must have something going on. He would usually ask her to return home earlier, but he would never say it over and over again.
Since it had rained continuously for the whole week, Yunzhou City had officially entered the winter season, and the weather was getting colder everyday.
Su Ziyue came out from the car porch, wearing a white knee-length fur coat. Her skin below her knees were out in the air, showcasing her fair and slender legs; they were truly eye-catching. She wore a pair of silver heels and headed toward Su Tower.
“Good day, Director Su!”
On her way, she met an employee who greeted her. Su Ziyue nodded and her lips curled up in a very slight smile, which made her look cold and aloof.
Su Ziyue entered the elevator. As the elevator door closed and began to go up, she rubbed her hands together and exhaled into them.
It had been several years since she spent winter in Yunzhou City. She did not expect it to be this cold, so she felt like she would soon turn from a regular beauty to a frozen beauty.
But for the sake of beauty, it was fine for her to withstand the cold for a moment, since the company had heaters turned on.
However, when she thought of Qin Muchen’s eyes the moment she exited the house, her heart tightened.
Ding!
When the elevator door opened, Su Ziyue stepped out and went directly to her office.
She pushed through the door and saw Gong Zeyang sitting on the couch. She was stunned for a moment. “Why are you here?” What is he doing in my office this early in the morning?
After everything that had happened lately, she had almost forgotten about Gong Zeyang.
It was a fascinating feeling, for when she was still a teenager, she really loved Gong Zeyang, and she would miss him a lot even if she didn’t see him for a day, so when she finally got to see him she would feel extremely happy, but now, after not seeing him for a while, she found it hard to be reminded of Gong Zeyang. It could be due to Su Yige being abroad, so he no longer had a reason to visit Su Group. Plus, he had to manage Gong Group’s affairs as well, so if the two did not schedule a meet up, it was impossible for them to see each other.
“We can’t see each other if everything’s okay?” Gong Zeyang was clearly looking disappointed. “Ziyue, since when did we become this distant?”
“If there’s anything, we can talk afterward. I need to work now.” Su Ziyue headed toward her desk while she was speaking.
Gong Zeyang watched as Su Ziyue walked past him, and he could smell the scent of her perfume. It felt refreshing.
Her expression was cold and distant, but her peach blossom eyes were alluring, as if they could hook in one’s soul with one look.
Gong Zeyang felt a sudden urge, and he stretched out his hand to grab hers. A thought came into his mind as he blurted out, “Yige said she wanted to have the wedding right after Chinese New Year.”
Su Ziyue turned her head to glance at him and her gaze fell on his hand that was grabbing her. She said impassively, “Oh, let go first.”
“Don’t you have anything else to say?” Gong Zeyang did not let loose but instead, he held on to her arm tighter. He knitted his brows slightly as if he was bothered.
Previously, Su Ziyue’s heart would have softened when she noticed his expression.
“It won’t be nice if anybody sees us like this.” As he wouldn’t let loose, Su Ziyue stretched her hand to move his hand away and took a step back to keep a distance from him. “Congratulations to you. Did you come purposely to share the news? Now that I know, I will definitely be at the wedding to send my blessings.”
As Si Ziyue finished speaking, she quickened her pace to her desk and switched on her computer, not looking back at Gong Zeyang. “I need to work now. You may help yourself out.”
True to her words, she then started working diligently.
Su Ziyue’s indifferent expression made Gong Zeyang’s heart go cold.
He watched attentively at Su Ziyue who was working, and realized she was indeed very beautiful. She had always been beautiful since a young age, and was always able to catch one’s eye.
When she was younger, she was clearly shy when she saw him, but she pretended to be calm and communicative as she greeted him sweetly by calling him, “Zeyang.”
She didn’t know how adorable she was back then.
Her skin was fair, and she had a perfect pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed so seducing whenever she looked at someone. Her lips were bright red and she had a beautiful straight-edged nose.
He realized the sweet girl who used to call him ‘Zeyang’ in the affectionate manner had grown up to become a mature and beautiful lady.
When he agreed to Su Yige’s proposal on the wedding, his first reaction was to come to meet Su Ziyue.
Even though Su Ziyue was obviously ignoring him, he was still reluctant to leave. “Ziyue, how have you been?”
Su Ziyue finally turned to look at him. “Very good. Never been better.”
“Previously, you…”
“Director Su.”
At the moment, someone came knocking at the door.
Su Ziyue looked at Gong Zeyang as she knitted her eyebrows, then she turned to the door and called out, “Come in.”
“The Vice President said…” It was Su Yuanming’s assistant, who was stunned and appeared confused when he noticed the presence of Gong Zeyang. Su Ziyue ignored the assistant’s confusion and asked, “The Vice President said?”
“The Vice President said he wanted to hold an emergency meeting.” The assistant looked at Su Ziyue and as he finished his sentence, he couldn’t help but throw another glance at Gong Zeyang.
Gong Zeyang sat at the couch looking relaxed and calm, as if he did not think there was anything wrong with him visiting his cousin as her brother-in-law.
Su Ziyue knitted her brows as she turned toward the assistant and nodded. “I’ll be there right away.”
