Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290

Su Ziyue sent Lu Shichu a text message as soon as she reached home.

However, Lu Shichu did not reply right away.

Perhaps he is busy at the moment, she thought to herself.

Su Ziyue did not think much about it. However, she suddenly recalled the moment she left the parking lot in her car; she did not see Lu Shichu getting in his car through the rearview mirror.

He stood right at the spot and seemed like he was seeing her off. In actual fact, he looked like he was waiting for someone.

Who could he have been waiting for?

Su Ziyue was startled. Could he have been waiting for Qin Muchen?

The possibility of them getting into a fight without her knowledge worried Su Ziyue.

Something popped up in her mind as she took out her phone, wanting to give Lu Shichu a call. In the end, she called Qin Muchen instead.

Even though Lu Shichu had always been gentle, Su Ziyue would never know about the things which he did want her to know about.

The phone rang for quite some time, but no one answered it.

Su Ziyue then turned around to grab her jacket and was about to head out when the call which she had not hung up yet was finally answered.

Bringing her phone toward her ear, Su Ziyue could hear the hoarse voice of Qin Muchen. “Su Ziyue?”

It was so silent at his end that Su Ziyue could hear the sound of wind whistling.

“Are you outside?” Su Ziyue asked him.

“Yes.” Qin Muchen then continued, “Beef ate a lot for dinner, so I brought it out for a walk.”

Su Ziyue put on a slight frown.

She was not sure if she was delusional as Qin Muchen’s voice sounded quite depressed to her.

Unable to tell if he was emotional, she added, “Are you alright?”

Qin Muchen did not reply to her question straight away. Instead, he kept silent for a moment before answering her, “We…”

At this moment, the water in the kettle had started to boil; it was already overflowing out.

As she made her way there, Su Ziyue said through the phone, “Let’s leave it here. I have to go. I’ll hang up the call now.”

Before Qin Muchen could even respond, she had hung up the call.

Su Ziyue then put down her phone before pressing the switch on the kettle. Afterward, she grabbed a glass and poured herself a glass of water.

Watching the water flow out from the spout of the kettle, she was in a slight trance.

What was Qin Muchen about to say just now?

…

Su Ziyue did not sleep well because of the unfinished sentence from Qin Muchen during the call last night.

The next morning, she stood in front of the mirror as she touched her face. She did not look well.

Su Ziyue was still quite young at 24 years old, and the abortion back in the day did not cause immense harm to her body.

However, she felt like her body condition was not the same as before.

Su Ziyue washed up, put on some makeup and changed her clothes before heading out.

She would always procrastinate while doing all these things back then.

It might have been because she was young during those days, and there was a lot of time for her to spare.

Now, she had been too busy at work for the past two years; she would seize every minute and second to accomplish as many tasks as she could.

Until today, it had become her habit.

Su Ziyue drove to the company. After coming out from the parking lot, she walked while habitually taking out her phone to read the news. She instantly skipped the news that was related to Gu Hanyan.

“Good morning, Ziyue.”

Su Ziyue was dumbfounded when she suddenly heard the man’s voice.

She raised her head right away to find Lu Shichu with a delicate hand bag in his hand. He was dressed in suit and tie as he stood upright by the roadside.

“Why are you here, Shichu?” Su Ziyue walked up to him hurriedly with a smile on her face.

“You haven’t had your breakfast, have you?”

Lu Shichu hung a smile on his face while he handed over the hand bag in his hand. “Take it. I bought it on my way here.”

“Don’t tell me you bought an extra set because they were having a buy one free one promotion.” Su Ziyue smiled as she pursed her lips. In the end, she still took the bag from him.

Lu Shichu then retracted his hands before tucking them in his pockets.

“Would you believe me if I told you that I came with a purpose?”

“I don’t believe you.”

Curling her lips, she took a look into the bag. Her eyes immediately brightened up.

Lu Shichu chuckled. “I can’t even lie to you. One of my patients had a sudden onset early this morning and he lives nearby—I’ve been busy until now. While I was having my breakfast, I remembered that you work nearby, so I decided to come over.”

“That’s more like it. I shall head up first, and thank you for the breakfast. Do you want to take a look upstairs?” Su Ziyue asked him.

Su Ziyue was just asking for the sake of it, not expecting Lu Shichu to agree to it. “Alright, sure,” replied Lu Shichu smilingly.

Su Ziyue was speechless.

As Su Ziyue sent Lu Shichu off before returning to the company, there were people along the way who were already gossiping with each other.

She could faintly hear people saying terms like ‘the only child’ and ‘private hospitals are wealthy’.

Su Ziyue pinched her eyebrows. She could easily guess that those people were having a chatter about her and Lu Shichu without even listening carefully.

All of this had never crossed her mind before. After all, she was very close to Lu Shichu. She would never think about whether she would cause him any unnecessary problems.

Now, it seemed like some gossip was inevitable.

After Su Ziyue had gotten off work, the news of Su Ziyue and her boyfriend—the only child from one of the most well-known families for their contribution to medical science—spread all over the company.

Even Feng Xingyan, who was in Jingcheng City, was astonished.

Su Ziyue tidied up her belongings and was about to leave when she received a call from Feng Xingyan.

The first sentence from him sounded normal. “Getting off from work?”

“Yes. I’m getting ready to head home.” Su Ziyue was heading out as she took the call.

“I heard that you… have a boyfriend?” Feng Xingyan sounded hesitant.

Startled for a moment, even her voice started stammering. “W-What? What boyfriend?”

Feng Xingyan then raised his pitch. “From the family that’s well-known for their contribution to medical science; Lu Xize’s only son.”

‘Lu Xize’ was the name of Lu Shichu’s father.

Su Ziyue bit her lips as she reached out her hands to grasp a lock of hair in an irritated manner.

Those people only knew how to stir up trouble!

“It’s nothing like that. I only brought him over to have a look at our company, and we’re not in a relationship. Don’t listen to them talk nonsense!” Su Ziyue mumbled.

She knew some of the employees in the company worked for Feng Xingyan. However, it was not necessary for them to tell him something that was made up!

Su Ziyue explained to Feng Xingyan for a while more before she hung up the call.

She had driven out once she reached the parking lot. While she was driving, she gave Lu Shichu a call.

She then told him about this matter.

After Lu Shichu had known about the matter, he burst into laughter. “I did not know that your industry was full of people with such great imaginations.”

“How dare you say that?”

“In that case, I shall treat you to a meal to make it up to you.”

“Alright then! Let’s go to Lumiere…” She was about to mention Lumiere Jade House when she stopped. “Let’s have the most expensive meal,” she then said.

“Whatever you like.”

Lu Shichu laughed faintly.

However, the laughter on his face did not last long before it vanished.

The outcome was as he had expected.

Nonetheless, Su Ziyue had trusted him too much. She would not expect him to have other intentions.

…

Nan Chuan called Qin Muchen a few times, but they weren’t answered at all.

He had even gone to the Cloud Bay Hilltop Villa to look for him, but Qin Muchen was not there as well.

He ended up making his way to Qin Muchen’s private room in the Lumiere Jade House.

Nan Chuan took half a step back after opening the door due to the pungent smell of alcohol.

Qin Muchen was lying down on the sofa. He immediately sat up straight when he heard someone opening the door. “Su Ziyue!” He yelled subconsciously.
