It was at Yunzhou International Airport. As soon as the car pulled up to a stop, Su Ziyue immediately opened the car door and made a dash out toward the entrance of the airport. Qin Muchen followed behind her with a deep crease on his forehead. Taking two steps forward, he grabbed her arm and urged in a tensed voice, “You should slow down your pace.”
“My uncle has landed, so we have to hurry up!” Su Ziyue held his hands and started jogging her way toward the entrance. She grumbled along the way, “I told you that we had to set off earlier. Look, the traffic jam has caused us so much delay.”
At that juncture, her phone started to ring and she stopped at her tracks to pick it up. Immediately, she heard Feng Xingyan’s voice from the other end of the call. “Ziyue, I’ve spotted you already. Just stay where you are right now and I’ll make my way over.” With that, he ended the call.
Su Ziyue stood still and gave her surroundings a scan but caught no sight of Feng Xingyan. Several minutes later, he was seen coming toward her with his subordinates following closely behind him. “Uncle Xingyan!” Su Ziyue let go of Qin Muchen’s hands and approached Feng Xingyan.
Feng Xingyan nodded slightly at her with an affable look before landing his eyes on Qin Muchen, who was standing behind her. However, his attitude toward Qin Muchen was not particularly friendly, considering that he only gave him an indifferent glance before looking away again.
Qin Muchen only greeted him slowly after some hesitation, “Mr. Feng.” Did he have to address someone who was only several years his senior as his uncle? In fact, the idea was not totally unacceptable to him but judging from Feng Xingyan’s expression, it was obvious that he was not going to be too happy if Qin Muchen addressed him that way.
In response to his greeting, Feng Xingyan curled the corners of his lips slightly upward to form a hardly noticeable smile when he said, “Mr. Qin, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Qin Muchen’s eyes flickered slightly as he answered, “I’m flattered, Mr. Feng.”
Su Ziyue could sense that there was an air of unpleasantness between the two guys. “Uncle Xingyan, you must be exhausted after the flight. Why don’t you go back and have some rest?” While she was talking, she held Feng Xingyan by the arm and walked ahead of Qin Muchen.
Qin Muchen stood rooted on the spot, watching both their backs with a sullen expression. It was as though Su Ziyue could detect his anger as she turned around and flashed him a simpering smile. Qin Muchen’s tensed face twitched slightly. Despite feeling reluctant, he still went along with them from behind.
…
Once they reached the city center, Feng Xingyan and his subordinates made their way to his house in the city. Su Ziyue at first intended to follow them there but was rejected by Feng Xingyan, who first glanced at Qin Muchen before turning back to face her. “I’m feeling a little tired and I’d like to take a break now. Why don’t you go home first? We’ll have dinner together later tonight.”

Why don’t you go home first? We’ll hove dinner together loter tonight.”
Feng Xingyan was a person who wouldn’t allow anyone else to change his opinion. Although he looked mild-tempered, he had always been unyielding in what he said and did. Therefore, Su Ziyue had no choice but to nod her head in agreement. “Okay, see you later tonight.”
After watching Feng Xingyan left in his car, Su Ziyue dragged Qin Muchen back to theirs. Qin Muchen did not take the initiative to say a word throughout their way back home and he was not too responsive either when she tried to talk to him. Because of that, she shot him a supercilious glance, thinking that he was petty-minded.
…
They met at Lumiere Jade House later at night for dinner. As a very punctual guy, Feng Xingyan had already arrived when Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen turned up. Seeing that Feng Xingyan had reached there earlier than they did, Su Ziyue was slightly anguished when she greeted him, “Uncle Xingyan!”
Feng Xingyan showed up in a gray suit with his eyes curled upward coupled with a subtle smile. Having gone through a tremendous lot of experiences in life, he was exuding a charm exclusive to a matured man. His eyes, which looked amiable with the passage of time, made him seem even more approachable.
However, that was not how Qin Muchen viewed Feng Xingyan. After settling down at the dining table, Qin Muchen pushed the menu toward Feng Xingyan and said invitingly, “Mr. Feng, please order the dishes you’d like to have.” With a slight smile, Feng Xingyan took the menu over and started to place some orders.
The atmosphere throughout the entire dining experience was intriguing. While they were halfway at it, Qin Muchen suddenly asked, “Mr. Feng, did you make this trip over to Yunzhou City to attend to work at Yanyue Media?”
As a man with unusually elegant table manners, Feng Xingyan took his time to first finish chewing the food in his mouth before answering Qin Muchen in a steady voice, “What do you think, Mr. Qin? You abducted my niece without telling me beforehand. Of course, I have to come over here to see for myself, what sort of man you are.” With that, he put his cutlery down as his amiable eyes took on a sharper edge.
Su Ziyue, who had just taken a sip of fruit juice, nearly choked when she heard him. To her, Feng Xingyan had always been a perfect and excellent man who never interfered with her private affairs. Therefore, at no time did it occur to her that he would make such a straightforward statement. “Uncle Xingyan, actually…”
Feng Xingyan glanced at her and snapped in a stern voice, which was uncommon, “Don’t interrupt our conversation.”
In fact, she would like to tell him that she was at fault too if he wanted to pin the blame on someone. It was also because she had never taken the initiative to inform him about her marriage.
Annoyed by the tone that Feng Xingyan spoke to Su Ziyue, Qin Muchen turned to face her while he held her hands. “Are you full? You may go and check on Beef in Nan Chuan’s room,” he suggested. They had brought Beef along with them too. However, they had decided to place Beef in Nan Chuan’s room because they were having dinner with Feng Xingyan, who was a fastidious man.
Su Ziyue turned around to glance at Feng Xingyan. Seeing he had no other opinions about that, she rose to her feet and left the room in order to give them some space. I don’t think they will… start a fight with each other, will they? Feeling restless, she walked out of the room.
The inside of the private room then plunged into a state of silence. Feng Xingyan spoke first to take control of the situation, “Mr. Qin, I can see that you’re rather casual when it comes to your marriage.”
Looking uptight as he was trying to suppress his emotions, Qin Muchen said in his usual indifferent tone, “I’m very serious about my relationship with Su Ziyue.”
“Oh? You’re so serious that you didn’t even know that she was pregnant? Additionally, while she was grieving over the loss of her child, you were busy with other affairs of your engagement with another woman. Please forgive me for saying this, but I can’t really agree with what you mean by being serious in your relationship.” Feng Xingyan’s tone was brimming with contempt.
Both Qin Muchen’s hands, which he placed below the table, were clenched tightly into fists without him realizing about it. Feng Xingyan’s words stung but what he said was all true. “I can’t change the past and the mistakes which I have made but I’ll treat her well in the future,” Qin Muchen declared in a tone which carried a faint trace of solemnness. Although he was still unsure whether Feng Xingyan really cared about Su Ziyue or not, he was after all her senior in her family whom she respected a great deal.
An unusual brilliance flashed in Feng Xingyan’s eyes which vanished so fast that it was indiscernible. Slowly, he said, “Let’s wait and see whether you really meant what you said.”
…
Su Ziyue brought Beef along and reached the private room. Just as she was about to push the door inward, it was flung open from the inside. She first glanced at Qin Muchen before tilting her head to glimpse at the room. “Where’s my uncle?” she asked.
“He left,” Qin Muchen answered while he kicked Beef away, who had attempted to pounce on him.
Su Ziyue complained with a slight trace of resentment, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Qin Muchen snorted icily and snapped back, “Why did I have to tell you that? Are you worried that he might lose his way?”
Su Ziyue was speechless. What an unreasonable and willful man Qin Muchen was!
