Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235

"Ah!" The slap from Su Ziyue landed so hard on Su Yige's face that she screamed in shock and her head swung to the other side.

"I'm warning you, Su Yige. You should come directly for me if you have a problem and not involve the people around me!" Su Ziyue was boiling with rage. Her face was ice cold as she looked at Su Yige and her beautiful, bright eyes were filled with hate as she fixed her gaze on her.

A shiver ran down Su Yige's spine as Su Ziyue glared at her like that, and fear flashed in her eyes. She actually felt that she was a little terrifying with the way she was now. But it would be impossible for her to yield to Su Ziyue. She didn't dare to make a move because of the bodyguards behind her. So, she could only swallow her anger with clenched fists and cast a glare at Su Ziyue. "Are you afraid now?"

"I'm so afraid—afraid that you'll drive me so desperate that I'll bring you to the top of a building and jump down together," Su Ziyue said with an eerie glint in her eyes.

"You!" Su Yige was shocked by her words. Though she could tell that Su Ziyue was exaggerating, she still didn't want to die yet. If she really drove her into a corner, something terrible might actually happen.

Seeing a hint of fear on Su Yige's face, Su Ziyue knew that her threat had worked. So, she left with her two bodyguards.

…

The villa was bright when she got home. After she stepped through the door, she saw a man and a dog watching TV on the couch. Obviously, they were waiting for her.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qin Muchen put the remote control down and looked in the direction of the door while Beef, who was sitting next to him, pawed at the remote control. Unable to stifle her laughter when she saw that scene, she teased Qin Muchen, "Looks like you won't be lonely anymore when I'm not home."

Qin Muchen turned and cast a look at Beef, whose ears drooped as it jumped off the couch before it wagged its tail and walked off. Very slowly, it walked next to Su Ziyue and alertly glanced back at him. Then, it rubbed against her and dashed off. As he watched its tail which was raised up high, Qin Muchen felt that a dog had just protested to him. Beef must have done it on purpose!

"Did I offend it? Why did it run off so quickly?" she asked him with a confused look.

With a calm tone, he replied, "Perhaps it is feeling irritable because spring is almost here."

"I see." Su Ziyue nodded, thinking that what he said made sense since animals had emotions too. But later during bedtime, she thought of something else…

"Qin Muchen."

"Yeah?"

"Isn't Beef still a puppy? Will it become irritable because it’s becoming warm?"

He was silent.

"Are you asleep?"

"Yeah."

It was her turn now to be speechless.

The next day, Su Ziyue received a call from An Xia. "Ziyue, I resigned from Su Group!"

"Congratulations! Now you're unemployed just like me," she said jokingly.

On the other end of the line, An Xia exclaimed, "You may be jobless, but you have Mr. Qin!"

"That's true," she replied with a low voice.

Even though An Xia was jobless, she had parents who loved her and cared a lot for her. She had met them before and found that they were a pair of kind and loving elders. Somehow, it seemed like she was more envious of An Xia. Still, it counted that she had helped An Xia if she was able to successfully resign from Su Group.

After hanging up the call, a sudden wave of confusion washed over Su Ziyue. After all, An Xia had gotten into all these trouble because of her. It would be a little difficult to find another company which was comparable to Su Group in Yunzhou City. When it came to her career, it was unavoidable that she had to suffer some loss. Otherwise… she could go to Qin Muchen!

Even if it was a branch office, it still belonged to LK Group! Everything would be great if An Xia could work at LK Group because Qin Muchen would take care of her. With that thought in mind, she went to look for Qin Muchen. She had just reached the door when her phone rang again. Her brows knitted tightly when she saw the caller ID—it was Su Youcheng. She hesitated before answering the call.

"How have you been recently, Ziyue? Are you busy?" Su Youcheng greeted her the moment the call was connected. His voice even carried a deliberately faked kind tone.

Su Youcheng's skin was still thick even though he was old. Not seeing the point to beat about the bush, she asked straightforwardly, "What is it?"

Despite already expecting her to have a stony attitude toward him, it still ticked him off when he heard her aloof tone. Changing his chummy tone from earlier, his voice sounded deeper now as he spoke, “You must have received the summon from the court. If you would like to avoid a court case, you’d better come and meet me.” He hung up as soon as he finished talking.

Su Ziyue took a deep breath and then let out a snort, thinking to herself that each one of the Su family members was more shameless than the other. After calming herself down, she pushed the door open to look for Qin Muchen, who happened to be on the phone.

Standing in front of the French window, he had one hand in his pocket as he listened to the other person on the phone silently with a deep look in his eyes. When he saw her coming into the room, he said into the phone, “You’ll be taking care of this matter.” Then, he hung up and walked to her. “What brings you here?” He immediately pulled her into his arms when he was close enough and sat down on the couch.

She was already in a bad mood after answering Su Youcheng’s call and since she was actually here to ask a favor from him, she appeared especially compliant now. Twisting her head to look at him, she then leaned in and gave him a peck on the cheek.

Instantly, the look in his eyes changed and his hand went from her shoulder to her waist before he tightened his arms suddenly, pulling her toward him. His voice sounded bewitching as he said, "So, how can I help you?"

"N-Nothing," she stammered with wide eyes. Could he see through her that easily?

Grinning, his usually composed face now looked a little evil. "Really?"

"Y-Yeah." She was so nervous that she was tongue-tied. While she knew that there was no need for her to lie, an inexplicable embarrassment still washed over her when he exposed the fact that she was here to ask him for a favor.

The way she was stammering tickled him and he said in a low voice into her ear, "Don't be nervous. I’ll agree to anything if you perform well."

"I'm not nervous," she shot back right away. Then, as he watched her with a profound look, she timidly said, "Will you really agree to anything?"

"Have I ever lied to you?" He raised an eyebrow, appearing to be offended by her question.

"Alright, then," she said with a nod. Awkwardly, she asked for a favor, "I would like to ask if you could arrange a job for An Xia in your company."

"That's all?" Qin Muchen looked at her in disbelief, clearly thinking nothing of her request. "Should I also arrange a position for you while I’m at it? What do you think of being a twenty-four hour personal secretary?"
