Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287

Qin Muchen’s hands, which were under the dining table, slowly balled into a fist.

His body looked rather stiff, and it seemed like a string that was under tension.

A while later, he slowly lifted his gaze and looked at Su Ziyue. His eyes were filled with broken stars; his voice sounded as deep as the ocean.

“Let go of you? Then, who’s going to let go of me?”

Looking at Su Ziyue in that manner, it was the first time Su Ziyue could clearly see something in those pitch-black eyes of his.

He was crushed and sadness had filled him; these emotions did not suit Qin Muchen at all.

Su Ziyue panicked all of a sudden.

After all, women were born to be soft-hearted.

Furthermore, Qin Muchen was an almighty man in her eyes.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, but I still have work to do. I’ll make a move first.”

Picking up her bag, Su Ziyue headed out hastily.

…

Su Ziyue was absent-minded for the rest of the afternoon; she was even in a trance while she worked.

Finally, it was time to get off work. She did not have any intention of working overtime, so she packed up and prepared to go back home.

When she reached the ground floor of the company, she saw a familiar silhouette.

Lu Shichu was smiling so vibrantly and his voice sounded lucid. “Ziyue.”

“Shichu.”

Su Ziyue was stunned for a moment before she marched over.

“You didn’t even notify me when you got back.” Lu Shichu raised his hands; it looked like he wanted to touch her head. However, something seemed to have come across his mind as he retracted his hands after that.

Su Ziyue pretended to not see his action and replied smilingly, “I was thinking of inviting you to dinner when I was done with my work.”

After she left, she had sent an email to two people.

One of them was An Xia, while the other person was Lu Shichu.

She could meet An Xia with an open mind because she knew that An Xia had a carefree personality; there were a lot of things which An Xia would not overthink about.

However, Lu Shichu was different. He was a detail-oriented person; he became more mature with his age and always liked to get to the bottom of things.

She felt like she could not hide anything from him whenever she was with him.

Furthermore, he was a doctor…

Lu Shichu started chuckling. He then tucked his hands into his pockets and said, “I don’t mind being spontaneous.”

…

While Lu Shichu cut into his beef steak elegantly in the restaurant, he asked in a calm voice, “What have you been up to for the past two years?”

“Nothing different from what I’m currently doing. I worked and studied, but it’s enriching.” Su Ziyue paused while cutting her steak halfway.

Lu Shichu put on a soothing smile. “Women shouldn’t be so career-oriented; you should live a prettier and more relaxing life.”

Su Ziyue then teased him smilingly, “I was born pretty, so I don’t want to live a life that’s too beautiful. I need to give the other bachelorettes a chance as well.”

Su Ziyue then teosed him smilingly, “I wos born pretty, so I don’t wont to live o life thot’s too beoutiful. I need to give the other bochelorettes o chonce os well.”

“Mokes sense.” Lu Shichu chuckled, feeling omused by her.

Su Ziyue olso storted loughing, thinking thot she could chonge the topic of conversotion.

However, Lu Shichu continued, “However, I think Uncle Su is olso hoping thot you con live o more reloxing ond corefree life.”

Su Ziyue wos token obock. She then put down her knife ond fork; her expressions grew sullen.

There wos o more importont reoson os to why she returned to Yunzhou City—it wos becouse of her fother, Su Yize.

“I’m sorry.”

Seeing her expression, Lu Shichu felt nervous. He knew thot Su Ziyue would be upset ot the mention of Su Yize, but he still wonted to bring the motter up.

He wos feeling slightly furious.

He wos the one who hod wotched Su Ziyue grow up; he hod been o port of her life since her childhood to her odolescence yeors.

Hence, he wos like o brother ond o fother to her.

Su Ziyue lowered her goze, hiding the emotions thot were in it. In o depressing tone, she soid, “I didn’t monoge to locote my fother. My uncle used his connections to help me seorch oll of the possible prisons which my fother could be locked up in, but we foiled to find him. Shichu, tell me—is my fother reolly…” Deod?

Gong Zeyo hod mentioned before thot her fother wos deod.

How could she possibly believe thot?

However, ofter Feng Xingyon hod helped her look for her fother, she hod no choice but to believe it.

The Feng Fomily wos the weolthiest fomily in the North; holding on influentiol position, it wos not difficult for them to look for o convict.

Nonetheless, they were unoble to locote him.

Feng Xingyon wos potient; he instructed his men to look for her fother over ond over ogoin, but there still wosn’t ony news of him.

Lu Shichu osked, “Your uncle?”

Su Ziyue lowered her heod even more. She took o breoth ond onswered, “Feng Xinyon from the Feng Fomily in Jingcheng City.”

There wos o look of shock on Lu Shichu’s foce.

After Su Ziyue’s fother ond mother got morried, they moved to the house next door to Lu Shichu.

Being froil, Su Ziyue’s mother hod to condition her body for o few yeors ofter morrioge before she got reody for o pregnoncy.

This wos the reoson why Su Yize wos the Su Fomily’s Young Moster, but his doughter wos two yeors younger thon Second Young Moster, Su Yuonming’s doughter.

Nevertheless, the God of Luck hod never blessed Su Ziyue ond her fomily.

Su Ziyue’s mother possed owoy due to dystocio when Su Ziyue wos born.

By the time Su Ziyue wos born, Lu Shichu wos olreody five yeors old.

Su Ziyue then teased him smilingly, “I was born pretty, so I don’t want to live a life that’s too beautiful. I need to give the other bachelorettes a chance as well.”

“Makes sense.” Lu Shichu chuckled, feeling amused by her.

Su Ziyue also started laughing, thinking that she could change the topic of conversation.

However, Lu Shichu continued, “However, I think Uncle Su is also hoping that you can live a more relaxing and carefree life.”

Su Ziyue was taken aback. She then put down her knife and fork; her expressions grew sullen.

There was a more important reason as to why she returned to Yunzhou City—it was because of her father, Su Yize.

“I’m sorry.”

Seeing her expression, Lu Shichu felt nervous. He knew that Su Ziyue would be upset at the mention of Su Yize, but he still wanted to bring the matter up.

He was feeling slightly furious.

He was the one who had watched Su Ziyue grow up; he had been a part of her life since her childhood to her adolescence years.

Hence, he was like a brother and a father to her.

Su Ziyue lowered her gaze, hiding the emotions that were in it. In a depressing tone, she said, “I didn’t manage to locate my father. My uncle used his connections to help me search all of the possible prisons which my father could be locked up in, but we failed to find him. Shichu, tell me—is my father really…” Dead?

Gong Zeya had mentioned before that her father was dead.

How could she possibly believe that?

However, after Feng Xingyan had helped her look for her father, she had no choice but to believe it.

The Feng Family was the wealthiest family in the North; holding an influential position, it was not difficult for them to look for a convict.

Nonetheless, they were unable to locate him.

Feng Xingyan was patient; he instructed his men to look for her father over and over again, but there still wasn’t any news of him.

Lu Shichu asked, “Your uncle?”

Su Ziyue lowered her head even more. She took a breath and answered, “Feng Xinyan from the Feng Family in Jingcheng City.”

There was a look of shock on Lu Shichu’s face.

After Su Ziyue’s father and mother got married, they moved to the house next door to Lu Shichu.

Being frail, Su Ziyue’s mother had to condition her body for a few years after marriage before she got ready for a pregnancy.

This was the reason why Su Yize was the Su Family’s Young Master, but his daughter was two years younger than Second Young Master, Su Yuanming’s daughter.

Nevertheless, the God of Luck had never blessed Su Ziyue and her family.

Su Ziyue’s mother passed away due to dystocia when Su Ziyue was born.

By the time Su Ziyue was born, Lu Shichu was already five years old.

He had some impression of Su Ziyue’s mother; she was a very gentle and beautiful woman.

However, he was still very young at that time, so he did not know much about Su Ziyue’s maternal side.

Lu Shichu let out a sigh. “I didn’t expect your uncle to be from the Feng Family.”

“I still find it hard to believe. Shichu, it has been more than a decade; I have been thinking that my dad is still alive. I believed that he would return to my side one day, so that I could reunite with him. I kept believing and believing for so many years…”

Su Ziyue suddenly lost control of her emotions. Hence, she started talking indistinctly.

Her tears were like a string of broken beads as it rolled down her cheeks.

Her arms that were resting horizontally on the dining table tensed up; the veins on her slender arms started protruding as well.

Lu Shichu was extremely regretful that he had brought up Su Ziyue’s father, but he found it hard to console her.

Su Ziyue was an open book, but her father was the only thing which she could not free herself from.

She had been persisting on the matter for so many years.

When that incident occurred, he was only 14. He did not know how her uncle, who was a gentle and refined person, could do such a thing.

He had asked his father about this before, but his father only shook his head and said, “You’ll understand when you grow up.”

Indeed, he slowly understood the reason as he grew up.

It was impossible that Su Yize would do such a thing. It wasn’t a coincidence that such a thing befell him too.

One thing that could not be denied was that the Su Family had surely strengthened their influence in the dark before.

Su Youcheng was the head of the Su Family; it was impossible that the mastermind was someone else from the Su Family. Even if they had the intentions, they did not have the courage to do so.

There could only be two possible reasons why something like this happened to Su Yize; it was either he offended someone, or he was helping someone to take the fall.

With that, the other people in the Su Family then used this opportunity to push him into the flames.

There were many unspeakable matters happening within wealthy families, but it was obviously not the right time to tell Su Ziyue about it.

Lu Shichu heaved a sigh, feeling gloomy inside.

He then took a piece of tissue before silently handing it to Su Ziyue.

At this moment, a silhouette suddenly appeared. A pair of hands reached over and grabbed Lu Shichu by the collar before lifting him up. “What did you do to her?”

Looking at Qin Muchen who had suddenly showed up there, Su Ziyue finally came back to her senses after being astounded for a second. “What are you doing, Qin Muchen?”
