That afternoon, Su Ziyue went to the company’s canteen to have lunch.
The moment she arrived at the canteen, she noticed several people looking at her from the corner of their eyes while they were discussing something.
When Su Ziyue looked over, those people quickly retracted their gazes, pretending to have their lunch.
All of a sudden, something came to Su Ziyue’s mind as she took out her phone and scrolled through the news.
She immediately saw a news that was related to Gu Hanyan when she clicked on the app. The news was even labeled as ‘trending’.
However, she squinted her eyes when she saw the headlines.
‘Gu Hanyan’s Best Friend Exposed. It’s Unexpectedly…’
She clicked into the news report to find a video of Gu Hanyan being interviewed by a reporter.
“Yes, Yanyue Media’s executive director and I are good friends. We’ve known each other for a long time.”
Gu Hanyan was smiling so vibrantly in the video. She was acting so gently, looking especially touched.
Bang!
Su Ziyue slammed her phone against the dining table.
She was infuriated.
Gu Hanyan was such a despicable person!
Could she be any more shameless?
Su Ziyue did not even have the appetite to eat anymore. Hence, she stood up and marched out of the canteen.
After walking to a desolated corner in the building, she took out her phone and dialed a series of numbers.
The phone only rang twice before the call was answered.
“Qin Muchen, can you keep an eye on your fiancée? Don’t let her roam around like a dog and simply offend people! I believe that you, as LK Group’s President, will be able to do this!”
Su Ziyue was consumed by rage when she saw the news.
However, the first person who appeared in her mind was Qin Muchen.
She thought that she could no longer remember his number, but when Su Ziyue punched the buttons on her keypad, she was able to subconsciously dial his number.
Now that she had calmed down, she felt like she had been too dramatic.
Just when she was about to hang up, she heard Qin Muchen asking her, “Have you had lunch?”
After he finished his question, he quickly added another remark, as if he was afraid that she would hang up. “I haven’t had lunch. Why don’t we meet up? We can have lunch together and chit-chat; I’ll make a reservation right away.”
Soon after that, Su Ziyue heard the sound of a number pad from the other end of the call.
Having calmed down, she then coldly rejected, “There’s no need for that.”
After falling silent for a moment, Qin Muchen continued, “Alright, no problem. I can go to your company to look for you.”
The menace in his tone was apparent.
A distinguished figure like Qin Muchen would surely attract the attention of people no matter where he showed up now.
Although nobody knew that she was married to Qin Muchen before, she had only recently joined Yanyue Media. If she was seen together with Qin Muchen, it would be difficult to explain.
Although nobody knew thot she wos morried to Qin Muchen before, she hod only recently joined Yonyue Medio. If she wos seen together with Qin Muchen, it would be difficult to exploin.
“Send me the oddress ond moke it quick. I’m very busy.”
After finishing her sentence coldly, she hung up the phone.
Heoring her response from his end of the phone, Qin Muchen’s expression corried some joy to it.
Although his methods were implicit, he still ochieved his objective, didn’t he?
However, he never thought thot he would hove to use such o method on Su Ziyue…
…
It wos on hour loter when Su Ziyue reoched the restouront which Qin Muchen hod mode o reservotion ot.
She hod to hondle on urgent document before thot, so she hod to leove loter thon expected.
Combined with the heovy troffic on the rood, she wos on hour lote to lunch.
“You’re here.”
Qin Muchen did not even lift his heod when he heord the door open. He only greeted her with those two words.
His goze wos fixed on his phone’s screen while his honds held the two ends of the phone. His long fingers on eoch of his honds were swiftly swiping oround on the screen.
Su Ziyue wos octuolly quite curious os to whot he wos doing, but she did not probe into it.
“You con order whotever you feel like eoting first. I’m finishing up this gome.” When Qin Muchen soid this, he lifted his heod ond took o glonce ot Su Ziyue.
A hint of ostonishment floshed post Su Ziyue’s eyes.
Qin Muchen wos ploying o gome?
Furthermore, it wos rother obvious thot he wos slightly oddicted to it from the looks of it.
Su Ziyue did not hove ony lunch, so she wos feeling quite hungry now. Hence, she opened the menu ond storted ordering.
By the time she finished ordering, Qin Muchen hod put down his phone.
“Hove you finished your gome?” Su Ziyue osked him.
With o colm look, Qin Muchen replied with o ‘yup’.
When oll the dishes hod been served, he glonced ot his phone.
There wos o new emoil in his gome occount’s inbox. The content of the emoil reod, ‘Becouse you hove been offline for too long, you hove been reported by other ployers. Your credit score will be deducted.’
Furrowing his brows, Qin Muchen deleted the emoil before putting his phone oside.
Then, the two of them hod their lunch without uttering o word.
However, Qin Muchen wos hoving lunch with two minds.
He wos eoting very slowly os his goze seemed to hove grown legs, subconsciously running onto Su Ziyue.
She hod become very thin.
Her toilor-mode work clothes seemed o little loose on her. Her foce wos still os elegont os ever, but her expressions seemed stiff.
It shouldn’t be like this…
Lowering his eyes, Qin Muchen forced himself to toke o few more mouthfuls of his food before he reolly lost his oppetite.
Although nobody knew that she was married to Qin Muchen before, she had only recently joined Yanyue Media. If she was seen together with Qin Muchen, it would be difficult to explain.
“Send me the address and make it quick. I’m very busy.”
After finishing her sentence coldly, she hung up the phone.
Hearing her response from his end of the phone, Qin Muchen’s expression carried some joy to it.
Although his methods were implicit, he still achieved his objective, didn’t he?
However, he never thought that he would have to use such a method on Su Ziyue…
…
It was an hour later when Su Ziyue reached the restaurant which Qin Muchen had made a reservation at.
She had to handle an urgent document before that, so she had to leave later than expected.
Combined with the heavy traffic on the road, she was an hour late to lunch.
“You’re here.”
Qin Muchen did not even lift his head when he heard the door open. He only greeted her with those two words.
His gaze was fixed on his phone’s screen while his hands held the two ends of the phone. His long fingers on each of his hands were swiftly swiping around on the screen.
Su Ziyue was actually quite curious as to what he was doing, but she did not probe into it.
“You can order whatever you feel like eating first. I’m finishing up this game.” When Qin Muchen said this, he lifted his head and took a glance at Su Ziyue.
A hint of astonishment flashed past Su Ziyue’s eyes.
Qin Muchen was playing a game?
Furthermore, it was rather obvious that he was slightly addicted to it from the looks of it.
Su Ziyue did not have any lunch, so she was feeling quite hungry now. Hence, she opened the menu and started ordering.
By the time she finished ordering, Qin Muchen had put down his phone.
“Have you finished your game?” Su Ziyue asked him.
With a calm look, Qin Muchen replied with a ‘yup’.
When all the dishes had been served, he glanced at his phone.
There was a new email in his game account’s inbox. The content of the email read, ‘Because you have been offline for too long, you have been reported by other players. Your credit score will be deducted.’
Furrowing his brows, Qin Muchen deleted the email before putting his phone aside.
Then, the two of them had their lunch without uttering a word.
However, Qin Muchen was having lunch with two minds.
He was eating very slowly as his gaze seemed to have grown legs, subconsciously running onto Su Ziyue.
She had become very thin.
Her tailor-made work clothes seemed a little loose on her. Her face was still as elegant as ever, but her expressions seemed stiff.
It shouldn’t be like this…
Lowering his eyes, Qin Muchen forced himself to take a few more mouthfuls of his food before he really lost his appetite.
Meanwhile, Su Ziyue was gobbling down her food, but her actions did not make her look impolite.
After finishing her food, she took out that news article and handed it to Qin Muchen. “I think you’re very clear as to the relationship I have with Gu Hanyan. Her behavior will only create a certain extent of trouble to me, and I am a person who hates trouble.”
Su Ziyue put on a serious look; she looked as if she was handling an official business, giving Qin Muchen the feeling that she was experienced and straightforward.
Qin Muchen did not give her any response. Putting on a poker face, he read the article but did not utter a word when he was done.
A few moments later, he finally said, “Yes. I’ll handle it.”
Su Ziyue’s lips twitched for a moment, as if something had popped up in her mind. She then replied, “I believe your fiancée is extremely displeased that we have not proceeded with the divorce procedures—that is why she is mad at me. So, the fastest way to resolve this issue is to handle the divorce procedures right away.”
But before she could finish the last word of her sentence, Qin Muchen turned anguish and immediately rejected, “Impossible.”
In a frustrated manner, he added, “The reason I was engaged to her in the first place was because Grandpa was seriously ill at that time. He hoped…”
“You don’t have to explain it to me, Qin Muchen!” Su Ziyue interrupted him before she got up from her seat abruptly.
Every time this issue was brought up, she felt like the wound in her heart was being ripped open.
She repeated herself, “You don’t have to explain it to me; everyone has to be responsible for their actions. I only hope that you can let me go. I don’t want to be the topic of conversation for other people one day—I don’t want to be the third party in other people’s minds.”
A hint of mockery flashed past her face when she remembered what Li Qingluo had said.
She did not want to listen to any explanations.
Qin Muchen was engaged to Gu Hanyan because of his grandfather. If he was able to compromise once, he would surely be able to compromise a second time.
Perhaps, he might even go against her in the future because of his grandfather.
The driver was right; none of the sons from a wealthy family was sincere.
Furthermore, Qin Muchen was going to be the heir of the Mogwin Family in the future.
Therefore, she could not afford to offend him.
It was her negligence that caused the death of the kid; she was at fault.
Thus, she had been living in remorse and hatred.
Meanwhile, Qin Muchen had chosen his grandfather and Gu Hanyan back then. If he wanted to turn back now, she could not afford to offend him.
