“Please wait for me at the entrance with Beef. I’ve got to meet up with Nan Chuan.” He had some instructions for him. He went to Nan Chuan’s office and told him as soon as he stepped into the room, “Keep an eye on Feng Xingyan.”
In the short conversation he had had with Feng Xingyan, everything they talked about was related to Su Ziyue. Although all Feng Xingyan had said seemed to be opinions to protect Su Ziyue’s welfare, Qin Muchen still had a feeling that something was fishy about him.
He did not have many interactions with Lu Shichu too before, but he could feel that his care and concerns to protect Su Ziyue was genuine. In any case, Lu Shichu was unlikely to harbor malicious intentions toward her. The same went to Feng Xingyan, but whose emotions Qin Muchen could not gauge at all. It was as though all the things he said and did were all pre-arranged beforehand.
Nan Chuan, who was also aware that Feng Xingyan was Su Ziyue’s uncle, looked slightly surprised. “Is there anything wrong with him?” he asked.
After some contemplation, Qin Muchen warned him, “Don’t let Su Ziyue know about this.” He had tested the waters of how Su Ziyue thought about Feng Xingyan before, and he knew that she trusted him a great deal. Therefore, he could not let her know that he was having an investigation done covertly on him. After all, Feng Xingyan appeared when she was at the lowest point of her life and even offered her help; her trust in him would not waver so easily. He had no choice but to proceed step by step. It would be the best if Feng Xingyan turned out to be innocent. Otherwise…
…
The news about Feng Xingyan’s arrival in Yunzhou City soon became widespread in the entire city. Su Ziyue thought that he would first head to Yanyue Media but to her surprise, he was invited to be a guest in a television program the next day.
Feng Xingyan finally arrived at Yanyue Media when it was nearly time to clock off at work. After sorting out the documents she needed, Su Ziyue went to give him a briefing about her work. When she had finished, Feng Xingyan nodded in approval and complimented her, “Not bad, you’ve done a great job.”
Su Ziyue was delighted to receive praises from him. “It’s all because you’ve taught me well.”
Feng Xingyan raised his brows slightly and remarked, “You’re such a sweet talker now.”
With a smile, she started pouring another cup of tea when he asked her something that took her by surprise, “Have you got any breakthrough on the investigation of your father’s matter?”
Su Ziyue’s expression went frozen for a second when she answered, “Nothing much.” Suddenly, she thought of Lu Shichu’s advice. However, after a moment’s hesitation, she decided not to reveal it to Feng Xingyan.
“You should start from people of the Su Family. It’s hard trying to get to the bottom of something that happened ten years ago, and even I have no idea how to go about it. Perhaps you just need some more patience and I believe that your hard work will pay off one day.” Feng Xingyan’s affable tone had a soothing effect.
“Pleese weit for me et the entrence with Beef. I’ve got to meet up with Nen Chuen.” He hed some instructions for him. He went to Nen Chuen’s office end told him es soon es he stepped into the room, “Keep en eye on Feng Xingyen.”

…
When she returned to the mansion, Qin Muchen was preparing dinner. Catching the stir which came from the kitchen, she secretly made her way there to take a look at him. What a petty-minded guy he was! He had not spoken to her much ever since they returned from Lumiere Jade House last night.
Just as she was about to walk away, Qin Muchen, who was facing her with his back, said, “Just come in if you want; don’t be lurking in the shadows.”
Su Ziyue’s body went rigid for a second before stepping into the kitchen in a poised manner. She snorted and picked up a piece of carrot he just cut out. “I’m not lurking in the shadows,” she muttered.
Qin Muchen smacked her hand and ordered her to wash her hands. Dumbfounded, not only did she not wash her hands, she randomly picked up another piece of carrot and stuffed it into his mouth. “You’ll be doomed if you dare to spit it out!” she threatened. She felt like a sassy and badass girl when she intimidated him but it was only after she made that threat did she feel the fear for its repercussions.
Qin Muchen chewed on the piece of carrot and swallowed it with a sullen face. Sensing that the tide might turn against her, Su Ziyue told him that she needed to attend to some unfinished work and made a run for it.
As a result, two plates of carrots were served on the dining table for dinner that night, which reminded her that this bossy Mr. Qin would always have his way to punish her. To atone for her misdeed, Su Ziyue obediently played the role as a rabbit, even more so the submissive type who would not reject him or fight him back.
The next early morning, she slumped on the bed, feeling so weak that she couldn’t even make a flip. Qin Muchen walked out of the bathroom after getting dressed and stood beside the bed. Looking like an elegant man but with mannerisms that suggest otherwise, his eyes were brimming with glee when he said, “You shouldn’t head to the office today.” Perhaps due to his buoyant mood, a trace of joy could be detected from his voice.
Su Ziyue thrusted a pillow at him and tightly tucked herself in under her covers. After having caught the pillow in the air, he bent down to pull the blanket away from her. Although she was clutching the blanket very tightly toward herself, she was not strong enough to fight against him.
Effortlessly, he pulled away the quilt as he cupped her face and gave her a passionate kiss. “I’ll be back at noon to make you lunch.”
Su Ziyue gave him an annoyed grunt and ignored him. Qin Muchen chuckled before leaving the room.
Shortly after, when she heard the sound of the car engine being ignited coming from downstairs, she got out of bed and made her way to the window, just in time to catch Qin Muchen’s black Bentley slowly moving away from the mansion. It was only when the car had gone out of sight did she make her way to the bathroom to wash herself up. She had no plans to head to the office today because she was going to Su Group.
When she headed downstairs, she saw a spread of nutritious breakfast served on the dining table as per her expectation. At the sight of the food, she couldn’t help but purse her lips into a smile. After enjoying the meal, she drove herself up to Su Group.
As the receptionist of Su Group was a newcomer, she did not know a lot about Su Ziyue other than the fact that she was the wife of LK Group’s president. Therefore, she addressed Su Ziyue as Mrs. Qin instead of Young Lady Su. Looking astonished, she greeted, “Mrs. Qin!” She wondered what brought the wife of LK Group’s president here.
Su Ziyue cut to the chase and asked, “Is the president here?” Her voice was slightly raspy and her gorgeous face was covered with a layer of frostiness which made her look aloof and less approachable.
“The president has just arrived. Mrs. Qin…” The receptionist was unsure whether she should let Su Ziyue in.
At that moment, Su Yige stepped into the building from outside. Although she had married Gong Zeyang, she opted to continue working at Su Group instead of being a full-time housewife. When she caught sight of that familiar figure, she thought she might have mistaken her for someone else. “Su Ziyue?” she asked in an uncertain voice.
Su Ziyue turned around and saw Su Yige who looked scrawny with a slightly bulging belly. With a fairly arrogant demeanor, she greeted her, “It’s been a long time.”
It was only then did the receptionist remember that she had once been told that Mrs. Qin was the second eldest daughter of the Su Family.
At the sight of Su Ziyue, Su Yige put herself on guard out of her habit. “What brings you here?”
“I’m here to meet Grandpa, of course.” With that, Su Ziyue turned around and strode off toward the elevator.
Su Yige followed her closely behind and eyed her with a penetrating stare. “Why do you need to meet up with him?”
“Has it got anything to do with you?” After saying that, Su Ziyue moved her gaze onto her slightly bulging belly with a slight smirk. “Have you found out who the father of your baby is?” she asked.
Su Yige looked affronted at once because of her question and snapped, “What nonsense are you spouting? Su Ziyue, you’d better watch your mouth, otherwise…”
Wrapping both arms around her chest as she leaned against the wall of the elevator, Su Ziyue cut her off with an airy voice, “Otherwise, are you going to get a bunch of men to violate me again?”
Su Yige’s face turned even more ominous. “You…”
