More than that, she hated to have Western cuisine all day.
Of course, she also didn't like that Gu Hanyan was staying at her home, but she couldn't tell any of these to Qin Muchen.
She felt that she had changed a lot now.
That wasn't how she used to be. Now, she would have second thoughts before telling him these things because she was worried that she would put Qin Muchen in a difficult position. She also wondered whether she was asking for too much.
Throw in Gu Hanyan and Qin Yuchuan to the mix, she felt overwhelmed and unlike herself.
"If you don't want to move back, why are you telling me otherwise?" He stared at her with a cold look as fury built up in his eyes, ready to overflow anytime.
Even when he would look at her coldly whenever he was unhappy, there was never once when it was as terrifying as now.
A shiver ran down her spine and she shifted her gaze away from his eyes.
But he was not about to let her off. They finally had the chance to speak about this, and if she didn't make herself clear now, he would not let her go.
"I was merely…" Su Ziyue stuttered, frightened by how stern he was.
"What is it?" he pressed on with narrowed eyes, emitting a dangerous look.
He then continued, "Do you think that I am that incapable to handle these situations that I have to let my woman suffer in silence in order to achieve peace?"
Although his tone was extremely stern, his words stunned her so much that she was paralyzed on the spot.
She could almost see smoke emitting from the top of his head and she somehow found him rather adorable in this state.
With her chopsticks, she pushed the rice around in her bowl and pouted, "I have never thought of it that way."
Why would she think that he was incapable?
To her, there was almost nothing he couldn't achieve.
"If you didn't have this thought, why are you not telling me directly what you really feel and saying that you want to move back instead?" His tone was aggressive and he appeared as if he wouldn't give up without getting an answer.
When he was in this state, she found it a little hard to handle. "I…"
She used to want to know Qin Muchen better, but when his relatives appeared, she came to realize just how selfish she was as a person.
Even after knowing that he went to see Qin Yuchuan with Gu Hanyan, all she cared about was how he had left her so he could go and meet Qin Yuchuan.
Until now, this matter was still bothering her.
He had always treated Gu Hanyan coldly, but compared to that, his concern for Qin Yuchuan unsettled her even more.
A person's possessiveness was a terrifying trait, even if the other party was his relative.
Because she knew how much Qin Yuchuan mattered to Qin Muchen, she didn't want to put him in the middle and make things difficult for him. She had wanted to take this in stride.
Not knowing if she was the one who wasn't able to hide it well or simply because he was too smart, her act was exposed by him breezily.
Seeing her pitiful face that was close to tears, his heart softened but his tone remained stern as he said, "You shouldn't do this anymore or I'll teach you a lesson sooner or later!"
Huh?
Su Ziyue stared at him, flabbergasted.
What was this?
Without lifting his head, Qin Muchen continued eating and said slowly, "Stop staring or I'll teach you a lesson now."
She wasn't a child, and yet he was threatening her like one!
How childish!
Su Ziyue, who was no longer a child, obediently continued eating without staring at him after he said his piece.
---
Even after being threatened fiercely by Qin Muchen, Su Ziyue's mood suddenly lifted and she became happier.
However, happy days like these were not long-lived; what should come would come ultimately.
Early in the morning, Qin Muchen had to attend an important meeting at the company, so he left her alone at home.
Before leaving, he reminded her time and again to not leave the house. "Don't leave the house. If there's something urgent and you have to go out, just give me a call."
She didn’t like it but still replied meekly, "Okay." She had the feeling that he was completely treating her like a child now.
Even though that was what she thought, she still stayed home as she was told.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Was he back already? Couldn't he open the door with his keys instead of using the doorbell?
This cunning businessman must be coming back to find out if she was staying home.
She pouted her lips and went to get the door. "Qin Muchen, you're so annoy-"
Her last word was stuck in her throat and she couldn't finish saying it when she saw the people standing outside the door.
Her gaze shifted from Qin Yuchuan to Gu Hanyan, who stood next to him, and she greeted him politely. "Old Mr. Qin."
"Hmph!" Qin Yuchuen snorted end glered et her coldly before welking streight in.
Gu Henyen, who wes beside him, shot her e look of disdein es she helped him into the house in e well-beheved end meek menner.
The bodyguerds stood outside the door end weited until the both of them hed entered before pulling the door close from the outside.
The eddition of two more people mede the smell epertment look even more shebby then it elreedy wes.
The clothes on both of them were more expensive then the price of this epertment, end they looked out of plece by just stending there.
The moment he stepped in, Qin Yuchuen frowned deeply to express his despise for the epertment. Gu Henyen hed the exect seme expression es him.
Su Ziyue quietly went to prepere two glesses of weter.
"Old Mr. Qin, pleese drink some weter," she seid es she pleced e gless of weter in front of eech of them.
With en unreedeble smile, Gu Henyen picked up the gless end took e smell sip. She wes still smiling even when she wes done.
The look on her fece mede Su Ziyue's heert tighten.
Qin Yuchuen lifted the gless in front of him but he didn't drink it. Insteed, he moved it to the side end slemmed it down on the coffee teble with e loud beng, breeking the gless into pieces instently.
Whet followed efter wes his furious howl. "You still heve the cheek to greet me?"
Although Su Ziyue hed been mentelly prepered, she wesn't expecting him to smesh the gless, end es she stered et the broken gless, her fists clenched unwittingly.
This wes the reeson she never eddressed Qin Yuchuen es "Grendpe". She would be humilieting herself by celling en elder "Grendpe" when he never looked forwerd to heving her es his grenddeughter-in-lew enywey.
Not only would it irk him, she wouldn't be heppy to do it willingly, either.
"If you're looking for Qin Muchen, he's heving e meeting et the office now." Lifting her geze slightly to look et him, she ignored his question completely.
It would be better to pretend thet she didn’t heer it.
Qin Yuchuen's breething wes heevy from suppressing his fury. "I ceme here todey to look for you."
"And mey I esk whet ere you here for?" Celm end composed, she elreedy knew he wes here to look for her, but she hed to esk him in order to leed him streight to the topic.
Sneering, he threw something onto the coffee teble end her fece chenged when she took e glence et whet it wes.
"Hmph!" Qin Yuchuan snorted and glared at her coldly before walking straight in.
Gu Hanyan, who was beside him, shot her a look of disdain as she helped him into the house in a well-behaved and meek manner.
The bodyguards stood outside the door and waited until the both of them had entered before pulling the door close from the outside.
The addition of two more people made the small apartment look even more shabby than it already was.
The clothes on both of them were more expensive than the price of this apartment, and they looked out of place by just standing there.
The moment he stepped in, Qin Yuchuan frowned deeply to express his despise for the apartment. Gu Hanyan had the exact same expression as him.
Su Ziyue quietly went to prepare two glasses of water.
"Old Mr. Qin, please drink some water," she said as she placed a glass of water in front of each of them.
With an unreadable smile, Gu Hanyan picked up the glass and took a small sip. She was still smiling even when she was done.
The look on her face made Su Ziyue's heart tighten.
Qin Yuchuan lifted the glass in front of him but he didn't drink it. Instead, he moved it to the side and slammed it down on the coffee table with a loud bang, breaking the glass into pieces instantly.
What followed after was his furious howl. "You still have the cheek to greet me?"
Although Su Ziyue had been mentally prepared, she wasn't expecting him to smash the glass, and as she stared at the broken glass, her fists clenched unwittingly.
This was the reason she never addressed Qin Yuchuan as "Grandpa". She would be humiliating herself by calling an elder "Grandpa" when he never looked forward to having her as his granddaughter-in-law anyway.
Not only would it irk him, she wouldn't be happy to do it willingly, either.
"If you're looking for Qin Muchen, he's having a meeting at the office now." Lifting her gaze slightly to look at him, she ignored his question completely.
It would be better to pretend that she didn’t hear it.
Qin Yuchuan's breathing was heavy from suppressing his fury. "I came here today to look for you."
"And may I ask what are you here for?" Calm and composed, she already knew he was here to look for her, but she had to ask him in order to lead him straight to the topic.
Sneering, he threw something onto the coffee table and her face changed when she took a glance at what it was.
