Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182

Although Nan Chuan was waiting in the living room, he could still vaguely hear the doctor’s voice because the wall between the living room and the bedroom was very thin. Yet, he could not hear what she said specifically.

…

Someone ringing the doorbell with urgency woke Su Ziyue up. She first sat upright on the bed before making her way to answer the door with her head feeling heavy and her steps unsteady. As soon as the door was opened, An Xia’s anxious face came into her sight which became clearer after she gave the middle of her brows a massage. “An Xia?”

Seeing how pale Su Ziyue looked, An Xia asked anxiously, “Ziyue, what’s wrong? Why are you so pale?”

“I’m fine…” Still feeling slightly groggy, Su Ziyue lowered her head to glance at the clothes she was wearing. It was only after a moment of contemplation did she remember what had happened the previous night. Her expression changed slightly because of it. After stepping to the side to let An Xia in, she changed the subject of their conversation by asking her, “Don’t you need to go to work today?”

“Why do I have to go to work? It’s Saturday!” An Xia shot her an annoyed look. After stepping into the unit, she randomly touched a piece of furniture and found her fingers covered by a layer of dust. She showed Su Ziyue her fingers and said, “Did you stay here last night? Look how dirty this place is.”

As it had been a long time since she last stayed there, it went without saying that the place was dusty. Besides, she did not have time to clean up the place last night at all.

Noticing she was keeping mum, An Xia stared at her with a frown. “Did you have a row with Mr. Qin again? You did not pick up any of my calls and I have no idea where Mr. Qin stays. So, I just decided to come here to try my luck and surprisingly, you’re really here.”

After that, An Xia walked in while Su Ziyue followed behind her while muttering, “My phone was dead.”

An Xia, who could sense that Su Ziyue was in an unusually depressed mood, wanted to ask her about it but in the end, she changed her mind. She then went to take a cloth instead to help her clean the room. When she spotted the bag which was used to carry intravenous drip in the dustbin, she turned around to ask her, “Were you sick?”

“I’ve recovered now.” Su Ziyue walked over and was lost in thought when she caught sight of the bag in the dustbin.

An Xia decided not to probe, seeing that she was in good spirits despite her pale face. As she was squeezing the cloth dry, she asked, “I suppose you haven’t had your meal, right?”

Shaking her head, Su Ziyue too got another cloth so that she could join An Xia in cleaning the room. Yet, An Xia glared at her just as she took the cloth. “You should go and take a seat in your current state. Let me order takeout for you so that you can sleep after eating. I’ll make you dinner later.”

“Dinner? What time is it now?” Su Ziyue gaped at An Xia in astonishment, thinking that it was still morning.

“It’s two in the afternoon.” An Xia showed her the watch on her wrist.

Stunned for a second, Su Ziyue did not say anything else. When the food ordered by An Xia for her arrived, she ate it obediently and went to bed to take a rest. By the time she woke up, An Xia had already cleaned the place and she was just getting ready to go out to buy some groceries. When An Xia noticed she had woken up, she suggested, “Let’s go together then.”

“Okay.” Su Ziyue looked a lot better after the nap.

They went out after getting changed. An Xia, who was walking ahead of her, was checking her phone at the same time. While she was scrolling through her social media, a notification came to inform her that she had received a new message. She clicked on the notification to find that she had received a new message from the account named ‘Mr. Bai—The Strongest Man in the Universe’.

Mr. Bai—The Strongest Man in the Universe: ‘How’s it going? Have you found Su Ziyue?’

The Adorable Miss An: ‘I did.’

Mr. Bai—The Strongest Man in the Universe: ‘Oh, I see. What are you doing now then?’

An Xia’s eyes widened. As Su Ziyue was calling her name from behind her, she only replied to him with a sentence: ‘Hehe, don’t think you can get away with it by changing the subject of the conversation. Who promised to do a strip dance together with the ladies who exercise at the park if I manage to find her?’

“What are you doing?” Su Ziyue saw An Xia’s evil expression as soon as she approached her.

An Xia started laughing ominously and said, “Bai Jingshu, that fool, promised to do a strip dance at the park if I manage to find you by today!”

She emphasized ‘strip dance’ but it was not what Su Ziyue’s attention was drawn to. “Bai Jingshu? Do you chat with him a lot?” Su Ziyue turned to glance at her phone and noticed that her social media app was open. It seemed like they were already friends with each other.

An Xia blinked and said earnestly like a child who had just been caught doing something naughty, “He was the one who added me…”

“Oh…” Su Ziyue smiled thoughtfully and added, “You could have rejected it.”

Looking stumped, An Xia gave another excuse by saying, “I had no idea it was him…”

“Okay.” Su Ziyue nodded with only a smile and didn’t say another word.

For some reason, An Xia felt a burning sensation on her face, which was a reaction she was not supposed to have because it was Bai Jingshu who had added her first.

…

Qin Muchen had just finished dinner with Bai Jingshu at Lumiere Jade House. It was only when the dinner ended did he lean on the chair and give the middle of his brows a massage, looking exhausted. Although he had drunk rather heavily just now, he did not feel intoxicated at all.



Bai Jingshu, who was busy doing only God knew what on his phone beside him, was looking somber. Two minutes later, he placed his phone right in front of Qin Muchen and said, “Mr. Qin, the mission of doing the strip dance at the park will be assigned to you then.”

“I can assign this project to you too as a gesture of appreciation.” Without turning to look at him, Qin Muchen made a simple remark which was enough to leave Bai Jingshu speechless.

“Come on. Did you really have to go so far to convince An Xia to look for Su Ziyue? It’s all your fault that I have to do a strip dance at the park now!” His reputation and image was at stake. How could he do something like that which was highly likely to make him less sought after among ladies? Yet, he would look like a coward if he did not keep his promise.

“Let me have a look.” Qin Muchen, who couldn’t care less whether he was going to strip dance or not, turned around and snatched his phone from him.

Mr. Bai—The Strongest Man in the Universe: ‘How’s it going? Have you found Su Ziyue?’

The Adorable Miss An: ‘I did.’

Mr. Bai—The Strongest Man in the Universe: ‘Oh, I see. What are you doing now then?’

The Adorable Miss An: ‘Hehe, don’t think you can get away with it by changing the subject of the conversation. Who promised to do a strip dance together with the ladies who exercise at the park if I manage to find her?’

There were no more messages from her after that.

After staring at the screen for a moment, his slender fingers tapped on the screen before sending out a message. Bai Jingshu’s heart gave a lurch when he noticed what he did. “What did you just send?”

Qin Muchen answered him calmly, “I’m helping you to turn the tables on her.” After making the statement, he turned to glance at Bai Jingshu before turning his attention back to the phone

When An Xia saw the new message from him on her phone, she thought she had misread it. Quickly, she took a screenshot of the message first before sending her reply: ‘I’m going out to get some groceries with Ziyue now to make dinner. You should get ready to do the strip dance because I’ve taken a screenshot of your message.’

…

Without her realizing, An Xia had revealed their whereabouts through her reply. At the sight of her message, the crease on Qin Muchen’s forehead smoothened lightly. He supposed Su Ziyue had more or less recovered now judging from the fact that she could go out to get groceries.

Bai Jingshu, who had been restless throughout the process, snatched his phone back while Qin Muchen was looking distracted. Immediately, he saw the reply Qin Muchen had just made on his behalf: ‘As long as you tell me what you are doing now, I’ll keep my promise.’
