Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312

Su Ziyue was unable to form a response when she heard his words from her seat next to him. She pulled her hands back under the table and discreetly pinched Qin Muchen’s side.

He should just tell her this in private. Why was he talking about apologies right now during the press conference?

Had he gone mad?

Qin Muchen grabbed her hand without missing a beat, imploring her not to make a scene with his eyes.

Another reporter asked, “May I ask what have you done to make Miss Su angry enough to leave you?”

Both of them went stiff at that question.

The reporter then aimed his arrow at Su Ziyue. “Miss Su, can you answer that?”

Su Ziyue pressed her lips together. In truth, she couldn’t possibly answer that, so she gritted her teeth and answered the question in a way that infuriated Qin Muchen to no end.

“He wanted to send our dog away, so I didn’t want to continue living with him,” Su Ziyue replied, her expression unchanging.

Nan Chuan silently leaned to the side. His employer was terrifying with the murderous energy he was radiating.

The press conference ended relatively smoothly without much of a hitch, primarily because Qin Muchen had gotten Nan Chuan to prepare for anything earlier.

Once the reporters had left and the venue was cleaned up, Qin Muchen stretched his long arms out and pulled Su Ziyue’s chair over to him. He placed his hands on the armrests of her chair, stopping her from getting up. He asked her icily, “So you won’t stay with me if I give Beef away?”

Su Ziyue gave a dry cough before she explained earnestly, “Nope, I was just trying to get the reporter off my back…”

Qin Muchen eyed her. “I’ll give Beef away today.”

He hadn’t liked that dog for a long time now.

When Su Ziyue was gone, the dog would constantly romp around the house and bring Su Ziyue’s clothes to him. Now that she was back, the dog was always rubbing himself on her.

Why should he keep a dog who was such a fiend for his wife around?

Su Ziyue lifted her head to glower at him. “Let’s see you do it!”

Qin Muchen stared at her blankly for a moment before reaching up to touch his lips. “Kiss me, and I will consider my decision about sending the dog away.”

Su Ziyue fell silent.

“Where’s Muchen? Where is he? I need to see him!” At that moment, Gu Hanyan’s voice could be heard from not far away.

Su Ziyue turned her head to see Gu Hanyan bursting through the blockade of guards and charging toward them. It wasn’t that the guards were unable to stop her, but they knew that Gu Hanyan knew Qin Muchen.

Gu Hanyan’s expression shifted when she bolted over and saw how intimately Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue were positioned.

“Muchen!” Gu Hanyan took another few steps forward, her gaze sweeping over Su Ziyue before landing on Qin Muchen. “What’s the meaning of this?”

“Whatever conclusions you’ve drawn, you’re right.” Qin Muchen retracted his hands and straightened up to look at Gu Hanyan calmly.

Gu Hanyan bit her lip, suppressing her anger as she spoke. “What do you think Grandpa will say once he knows about this? He’s not exactly in good shape. His health will worsen with his anger!”

Qin Muchen leveled a steely gaze at her. “He won’t know if you don’t tell him. He won’t get angry and cause his health to deteriorate then.”

Gu Hanyan felt somewhat small from Qin Muchen’s gaze. “But you know that this won’t stay under wraps forever! He will certainly know one day.”

“You’ve already told him, haven’t you?”

Qin Muchen chuckled coldly. His tone held a threatening edge. “It must have been difficult for you to come this far. My grandfather certainly treated you well. You better watch yourself.”

With that, he pulled Su Ziyue before getting up to head outside.

Su Ziyue’s expression shifted when she heard them mention Qin Yuchuan. Qin Muchen noticed this as well, so he didn’t continue to entertain Gu Hanyan.

As Gu Hanyan watched their disappearing figures, her face turned pale with fury.

The two of them ran into An Xia and Bai Jingshu, who rushed over once they exited Lumiere Jade House.

Upon seeing them, Bai Jingshu said to them with a straight face, “Can’t you give us a heads up before attempting to smooth over such a major event?”

Bai Jingshu and the others had been beside themselves with worry when the news first came up. Moreover, they weren’t able to contact Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen then. Now that Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen had returned, they simply set up a press conference without informing Bai Jingshu and company to inform the world of their relationship.

“A heads up?” Qin Muchen’s tone was a little scornful. “Do you think that you would have been able to settle this then?”

Bai Jingshu’s face darkened. Weren’t they like brothers? Did Qin Muchen have to show him up in front of the lady he liked?

“We still have matters to attend to.” As Qin Muchen spoke, he led Su Ziyue outside.

They had only just taken a few steps when Qin Muchen turned his head to look at Bai Jingshu. “Gu Hanyan’s inside. You can go in and greet her if you want.”

With that, he continued to lead Su Ziyue outside and disappeared into the distance.

Su Ziyue turned her head back to look at An Xia and mimed a phone call with her hands. She only turned again once she saw An Xia nod and wave goodbye to her. An Xia turned to face Bai Jingshu with a grin once the two of them had disappeared. “Mr. Bai, Miss Gu is in there. Are you going to say hi to her?”

Bai Jingshu felt that he was between a rock and a hard place. He actually did want to go in and have a few words with Gu Hanyan.

An Xia could detect his hesitation, and she giggled before telling him, “Mr. Bai, go in. I’ll wait for you here.”

Coincidentally, Gu Hanyan happened to emerge from the building just then. She froze when she noticed Bai Jingshu’s presence before walking over. “Jingshu, you’ve come.”

Her gaze shifted to An Xia then, and she asked, “And this is?”

“I’m Mr. Bai’s secretary,” An Xia piped up before Bai Jingshu could speak.

Su Ziyue didn’t return home with Qin Muchen. Instead, she headed straight to Yanyue Contents Media; there was still a mountain of work for her to do.

Li Qingluo eyed Su Ziyue with a strange look when she saw Su Ziyue return.

She wasn’t the only one; everyone was looking at Su Ziyue strangely.

It was clear that everyone had watched the livestream and knew that she was Qin Muchen’s wife. They had also seen Qin Muchen apologize to her in front of the public. It was more than enough to see how much Qin Muchen cherished her.

“Meeting in ten minutes.” Su Ziyue ignored the odd looks everyone was giving her as she told them this before ducking inside her office.

When she opened the door to her office once the meeting ended, she realized that someone was already waiting for her inside.

“Shichu? Why are you here?” Su Ziyue froze for a moment before stepping in.

Lu Shichu didn’t look so good. “You’ve truly decided to be with Qin Muchen?”

“Yes.” Su Ziyue hadn’t expected him to ask this, but she still nodded anyway.

Lu Shichu was practically roaring at her in anger, “Do you truly understand Qin Muchen at all?”

“Shichu, what’s wrong?” Su Ziyue had never seen Lu Shichu this enraged before.

Lu Shichu asked her again, “Has Qin Muchen ever told you about his mother? If he truly loves you, he shouldn’t have hidden anything from you.”

Su Ziyue fell silent. Qin Muchen had only mentioned her briefly, and he hadn’t looked great when he did so. He was purposely avoiding the topic.
