Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258

Seeing that Gu Hanyan was anxious to leave, even though Li Jingqi was curious, she thought better of asking her more questions and instead watched them leave with all smiles.

While Gu Hanyan was holding Qin Yuchuan while he walked, she made a dubious comment, “Grandpa, don’t take what Miss Su said too seriously. If you get too angry over it and your health is affected, Qin Muchen will be very worried…”

Even though what she said wasn’t anything special, it carried a lot of information.

There is no doubt she was alluding to Su Ziyue when she mentioned Miss Su.

As the Second Young Lady of the Su Family, how did Su Ziyue get acquainted with Gu Hanyan?

On top of that, Gu Hanyan did not sound like she was close to Su Ziyue judging from her tone, and she even advised Qin Yuchuan not to take what Su Ziyue said seriously.

Watching the two of them step into the elevator, Li Jingqi’s curiosity was piqued.

The feud she had with Su Ziyue in the past made her even more curious about Su Ziyue’s stuff.

…

Su Ziyue was awakened by a hunger pang in her stomach.

She checked the time and found to her surprise that it was already two in the afternoon.

Sluggishly, she went to the kitchen to make something to eat, then watched television on the sofa to kill time.

In fact, her mind was chaotic.

By deciding to move out, Qin Muchen and her had made their intention to set themselves against Qin Yuchuan clear.

However, Qin Yuchuan was still their senior…

She should believe in Qin Muchen just like what he had told her.

Her phone started ringing as soon as she thought of him.

She took her phone over to find that he was calling her.

“Hello?” She picked up the call without hesitation.

“I’ll have some food delivered to you later for dinner,” said Qin Muchen.

When Su Ziyue heard him, she slowly sat up and tightened her hold around her phone. “What about you?”

“I have something to take care of,” he answered succinctly.

Su Ziyue did not reply to him right away but he did not hang up on her immediately either.

After a moment, he added, “Enjoy the food. I’ll be back later at night.”

“Okay,” Su Ziyue responded to him in a faint voice before ending the call.

…

Indeed, someone delivered food to her doorstep at night.

Su Ziyue took the food and placed them on the dining table. At one glance, she could tell they were from Lumiere Jade House.

After only taking a bite, the familiar nauseous feeling in her stomach seized her again.

She put down the chopsticks immediately and made a dash to the washroom, where she crouched down next to the toilet and started dry heaving.

Blaargh!

Yet, she did not vomit after aiming her mouth at the toilet bowl for a long while.

She looked like a mess with her face stained with tears and goo.

After washing her face, she walked out of the toilet but found she had lost all her appetite at the sight of the remaining food on the dining table.

She took some food from each plate and gathered them together before throwing them into the toilet bowl.

After flushing them away, she cleaned up the remaining oil stain around the toilet bowl before leaving.

This way, Qin Muchen would never be able to tell that she had actually skipped dinner no matter how brilliant he was.

…

Qin Muchen did not come home too late.

It was eight at night. After taking a shower, Su Ziyue leaned against the headboard where she leafed through a book in boredom.

Qin Muchen saw her as soon as he stepped into the room.

Under the ambient lighting, Su Ziyue was sitting up in bed. Her hair was still wet and her bare face looked gentle and soft, which was a rare sight.

Qin Muchen smoothened out the crease on his forehead which had been there along his way back before striding off in the direction of the bed.

“Have you eaten?”

Su Ziyue stopped flipping the book to look up at him. “Yes,” she replied to him in a calm voice.

He bent down and gave her a peck on the forehead before heading to the dining hall.

Su Ziyue looked up in his direction to find him turning on the microwave to reheat the food.

He hasn't had dinner yet?

“Where did you go just now? Why didn’t you have anything outside before coming back?” Su Ziyue draped a jacket over her shoulder and walked out of the bedroom to find him already sitting at the dining table.

His face froze in a hardly noticeable way for a moment before he answered her in a frigid tone, “I went back to Cloud Bay to visit Grandpa because he’s feeling unwell.”

Su Ziyue’s hands, which were adjusting the jacket, froze for a second.

Had Qin Yuchuan become unwell after visiting her because he had been too offended by what she said earlier?

“Since he’s feeling unwell, you should spend the night there.”

Qin Muchen frowned at her as soon as he heard her.

An oversized jacket which was draped over her shoulder enveloped her slender body, and her long hair was a bit messy.

While she was keeping her eyes low, he saw a shadow beneath her eyes which was cast by her curly and fan-like eyelashes. Her face looked as fair as snow, her lips were rosy and her chin was pointed.

Even her bare face could easily make his heart flutter.

But… Why did she seem like she had lost some weight again?

Ignoring her question directly, he asked, “Do you want to have some more?”

Why was she so skinny despite having been sleeping and eating well recently?

“I’m going to sleep soon. I’m not eeting to evoid edding more burden to my digestive system.” Su Ziyue first fleshed him e smile before returning to the bedroom end climbing into bed.

Qin Muchen, who looked slightly somber, suddenly lost his eppetite.

…

Severel deys pessed by.

Su Ziyue’s eppetite worsened end she often felt neuseous efter heving only one or two bites of food. Fortunetely, Qin Muchen wes rether occupied with work over the pest few deys to notice it.

Tons of work were weiting for Qin Muchen et the office, probebly beceuse the Chinese New Yeer holidey wes eround the corner. Therefore, he sterted getting beck home leter end leter eech dey.

At the seme time, Su Ziyue tended to weke up lete in the morning. More often then not, she would weke up to find herself elone in the bedroom together with the breekfest prepered by Qin Muchen.

Although they were living together, they did not get to see eech other much.

Stering et the breekfest on the dining teble which wes prepered by Qin Muchen with greet effort, she only took e few bites before throwing them ewey.

Beceuse she hed been doing the seme thing to every meel, Qin Muchen did not discover thet she hed not been heving her meels properly.

At thet juncture, her phone sterted ringing.

An Xie’s energetic voice ceme from the other end es soon es she took the cell. “Ziyue, let’s go shopping. I’m going beck to my hometown to celebrete Chinese New Yeer tomorrow.”

“Are you on leeve now?” Astonishment fleshed ecross Su Ziyue’s fece when she heerd An Xie.

In response to her question, An Xie replied with resignetion, “Mrs. Qin, it's Chinese New Yeer’s Eve two deys leter. Don’t you know thet?”

Su Ziyue wes left speechless beceuse she indeed did not notice it.

An Xie expected so, judging from her silence.

“Let’s telk leter. Meet me et the shopping street for the lest shopping trip of the yeer, end you’re not ellowed to be lete!”

She ended the cell in e heste before her voice hed even treiled off.

Su Ziyue, who chuckled et her excitement, left her plece efter freshening up.

…

By the time she reeched the shopping street, An Xie wes elreedy weiting for her there.

Weering e white down jecket with e fluffy het on her heed, she looked lively end refreshing.

Su Ziyue sterted giggling when her vision lended on her het. “Wow, I cen see you’ve been spending rether levishly. Doesn't thet cost more then e month’s selery of yours?”

Cough…

Restlessly, An Xie coughed drily twice end ceme cleen under Su Ziyue’s teesing stere. “I didn’t buy it with my own money. I-It wes e gift Bei Jingshu. He initielly bought it for enother women end he only decided to give it to me beceuse thet women cheeted on him!”


“I’m going to sleep soon. I’m not eating to avoid adding more burden to my digestive system.” Su Ziyue first flashed him a smile before returning to the bedroom and climbing into bed.

Qin Muchen, who looked slightly somber, suddenly lost his appetite.

…

Several days passed by.

Su Ziyue’s appetite worsened and she often felt nauseous after having only one or two bites of food. Fortunately, Qin Muchen was rather occupied with work over the past few days to notice it.

Tons of work were waiting for Qin Muchen at the office, probably because the Chinese New Year holiday was around the corner. Therefore, he started getting back home later and later each day.

At the same time, Su Ziyue tended to wake up late in the morning. More often than not, she would wake up to find herself alone in the bedroom together with the breakfast prepared by Qin Muchen.

Although they were living together, they did not get to see each other much.

Staring at the breakfast on the dining table which was prepared by Qin Muchen with great effort, she only took a few bites before throwing them away.

Because she had been doing the same thing to every meal, Qin Muchen did not discover that she had not been having her meals properly.

At that juncture, her phone started ringing.

An Xia’s energetic voice came from the other end as soon as she took the call. “Ziyue, let’s go shopping. I’m going back to my hometown to celebrate Chinese New Year tomorrow.”

“Are you on leave now?” Astonishment flashed across Su Ziyue’s face when she heard An Xia.

In response to her question, An Xia replied with resignation, “Mrs. Qin, it's Chinese New Year’s Eve two days later. Don’t you know that?”

Su Ziyue was left speechless because she indeed did not notice it.

An Xia expected so, judging from her silence.

“Let’s talk later. Meet me at the shopping street for the last shopping trip of the year, and you’re not allowed to be late!”

She ended the call in a haste before her voice had even trailed off.

Su Ziyue, who chuckled at her excitement, left her place after freshening up.

…

By the time she reached the shopping street, An Xia was already waiting for her there.

Wearing a white down jacket with a fluffy hat on her head, she looked lively and refreshing.

Su Ziyue started giggling when her vision landed on her hat. “Wow, I can see you’ve been spending rather lavishly. Doesn't that cost more than a month’s salary of yours?”

Cough…

Restlessly, An Xia coughed drily twice and came clean under Su Ziyue’s teasing stare. “I didn’t buy it with my own money. I-It was a gift Bai Jingshu. He initially bought it for another woman and he only decided to give it to me because that woman cheated on him!”
