Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362

An Xia almost spat out the drink she just had and grabbed Su Ziyue by her sleeves, speaking softly, “Ziyue.”

With the Dutch courage Ziyue had now, there was nothing An Xia could do to stop her. So, she continued slamming the table and shouted, “Tell me, where are you going for your business trip?”

Meanwhile, in the VIP lounge at the airport, Qin Muchen, who was seated with his legs crossed and a laptop on it, had already stopped typing on his laptop.

Next to him, his secretary was holding his phone in loudspeaker mode and had overheard everything Su Ziyue said over the phone clearly.

His secretary and other employees who accompanied him quietly turned to look the other way.

Maybe they could still make it back alive if they pretended that they hadn’t heard anything Mrs. Qin had said.

Setting his laptop to the side, Qin Muchen took the phone from his secretary’s hand and grabbed his suit jacket with his other hand. Turning off the loudspeaker mode, he strode out of the room as he asked, “Where are you now?”

Su Ziyue snorted. “It’s none of your business where I am now! Since you’re not telling me where you’re going for your business trip, I’m not telling you where I am now either!” she hollered and hung up.

“What did Mr. Qin say?” An Xia asked.

“He asked me where I was,” she replied and tossed her phone to the side. Then, she continued in a rather proud tone, “I didn’t tell him on purpose since he didn’t want to tell me where he’s going on business.”

With pouty lips, An Xia murmured, “I thought he would hang up on you...”

“Why?”

“Because you scolded him…”

“Did I do that?” she asked in a frown as she recalled what she had said earlier.

In fact, she was not drunk at all, but merely wanted to boost her courage with the help of alcohol. With An Xia’s reminder, she had remembered what she said.

“I’m done here and going home now.” Picking up her phone, she grabbed her handbag and dashed out of the place while An Xia shook her head as she watched her leave.

Su Ziyue sped back to Cloud Bay and saw a man and a dog at the gates the moment she stepped out of the car.

Qin Muchen put on a straight face as he stuck his hands into the pockets of his suit trousers. Standing straight in a business suit, he appeared strict and meticulous.

“Why are you back?” Wasn’t he away on a business trip?

Qin Muchen surveyed her for a second before retracting his gaze and said emotionlessly, “I’m going to Jingcheng City for my business trip.”

His gaze made her feel guilty and she cast her eyes downward and answered meekly, “Okay.”

“Alright.” He began walking away after his one-word reply.

Su Ziyue jerked her head up. He was leaving just like that? He came back suddenly just to tell her where he was going on his business trip?

After a few steps, he came to a stop and turned back to look at her. “You can do what you like with Beef.”

She didn’t say anything; she was merely saying things in a fit of rage and didn’t really mean to throw Beef out. As she watched his car drive off into the night, Su Ziyue grabbed her hair in frustration.

What was the meaning of this?

Would he rather go away on a business trip than be in the same room with her because he blamed her for causing Gong Shuzhe’s death?

Everything about Su Yizi’s case and the incident with Gong Shuzhe died down suddenly.

In the following days, no other related news were reported and Qin Muchen didn’t contact Su Ziyue either.

Whenever she called him on the phone, he was either in a meeting or busy. So, she simply stopped calling and sent him text messages instead.

After Su Yizi passed away in prison that year, his body had been disposed of. Su Ziyue found some old items belonging to him and buried it before erecting a tombstone for him in the same cemetery as her mother’s.

After placing some fresh flowers on his grave, she started speaking out loud by herself, “Daddy, you’ll never guess who I’m married to. I married the son of Aunt Qin Li, the woman you were seeing back then. Although Qin Muchen has a foul temper, he treats me pretty well.”

Despite the fact that he had some misunderstandings toward her because of Gong Shuzhe’s incident, she knew that he was not really mad at her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come back specially that day to tell her where he was going away on business.

Maybe he was using this trip as an excuse to be away from her for a while to calm himself down.

Su Ziyue left after she had spoken a little and ran into Nan Chuan and a couple of men at the entrance of the cemetery.

“Mrs. Qin,” Nan Chuan greeted her politely with a slight bow of his head. The two subordinates behind him who were dressed in black suits appeared unusually solemn.

“Nan Chuan? You’re here—,” she stopped herself before she finished her sentence and changed her words abruptly. “What a coincidence.”

This was the cemetery and Gong Shuzhe didn’t pass away honorably, so his funeral had to be done quietly. She heard that he was also buried here, so Nan Chuan was most probably here because Qin Muchen had instructed him to.

“Are you going back now, Mrs. Qin? I’ll send you home.” Nan Chuan offered as he gave the two men behind him a look, who then left knowingly.

“That’s alright. I drove myself here,” Su Ziyue declined, shaking her head. “You can tell me now if you have anything on your mind.”

A look of awkwardness flashed across his face as he really did have something to tell her.

“I’ve been working under Mr. Qin for many years, and I was an orphan. His temper has always been a little foul and unpredictable, but he is actually a very emotional man. He may have dwelled too much on this incident with Gong Shuzhe and you’ll have to spend more effort on him now, Mrs. Qin.”

It took Su Ziyue by surprise that this was what Nan Chuan wanted to tell her. After a short silence, she nodded and replied, “Okay, I got it. Thank you.”

Su Ziyue had some fresh perspectives after listening to Nan Chuan’s words.

Qin Muchen was probably feeling very conflicted right now.

Gong Shuzhe had caused the death of Qin Li and Su Yizi, and regardless how anyone looked at it, he had committed a terrible crime and deserved death. But at the same time, Qin Muchen still couldn’t bear to see that happen to him.

And because he was soft-hearted, he couldn’t bring himself to face Su Ziyue nor Qin Li, who had passed away.

Gong Shuzhe’s sudden death had affected him a lot, so he took his anger out on Su Ziyue.

No matter how capable a person was, there were times when one would be affected by emotions.

After collecting her thoughts, Su Ziyue packed her bags and left for Jingcheng City.

She headed straight for the hotel Qin Muchen was staying in the minute she arrived in Jingcheng City with the address she got from Nan Chuan before she left.

Jingcheng City belonged to the Feng family. Chain stores, hotels, restaurants, advertisements companies and many more all belonged to the Feng Group and its subsidiaries. As the richest family in the northern region, Feng family’s business could be found almost everywhere.

However, the hotel which Qin Muchen was staying in didn’t happen to belong to the Feng family.

At the front desk of the hotel, Su Ziyue asked, “Hi, may I have a key card to room number 7023? I’m the wife of the man staying in that room.”

Room 7023? Isn’t that the room of the President of LK?

The receptionist raised her head in surprise and scrutinized Su Ziyue. When she saw her pretty face, she gave her a sarcastic smile and said, “I’m sorry, Miss, but I can’t give you the key card to Room 7023.”
