Su Ziyue did not dare utter a word when she saw the stormy expression on Qin Muchen's face.
Qin Muchen ordered the chauffeur to drive immediately.
Su Ziyue looked out the window and said, "Princess Aika hasn't gotten on yet…"
Qin Muchen glanced at her coldly. "I don't give a sh*t about her."
"…"
He was being so…
No wonder Aika didn't like him.
…
Qin Muchen brought Su Ziyue to the hospital.
It was as Aika had said, Su Ziyue had five stitches.
This was nothing when compared to the stab wound she took for Qin Muchen.
Maybe it had to do with how she had gotten stitches two years ago, Su Ziyue wasn't afraid.
Qin Muchen noticed that she was staring at the doctor and pinched her cheeks. "What are you looking at? Doesn't it hurt?"
"It's numb. Doesn't hurt." Su Ziyue shook her head.
Qin Muchen glanced at her and then turned away. His jaw was clenched tight.
She didn't hurt, but it looked like he was hurting.
…
When Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue arrived back at the hotel, Aika was waiting for her in the lobby.
"Aika!"
Su Ziyue called out to her and took a step towards her.
Qin Muchen stopped her. "Don't go near her."
"…"
Did he blame Aika for bringing her out and getting her hurt?
Su Ziyue was curious about what made Qin Muchen afraid and what would challenge him.
Aika ignored Qin Muchen's glowers and looked at Su Ziyue, "Ziyue, did they dress your wound?"
"Yup, they cleaned and bandaged it. It's fine now." Su Ziyue smiled at her.
Qin Muchen glared at Aika before he turned back to Su Ziyue and said gently, "Let's go."
Su Ziyue smiled apologetically at Aika, "We're heading to our room. Tomorrow…"
Qin Muchen interrupted her rudely, "Nothing's happening tomorrow!"
Su Ziyue, "…"
…
Back in their room, she found that some of the things they had bought that day had been sent up.
As Su Ziyue could only do things with one arm for the moment, she fumbled around.
"Stay away from Aika." Qin Muchen glared at her stonily.
"Why? I think she's quite nice."
She suddenly remembered how Aika had killed that man.
She froze and the glass that she has holding, fell to the ground.
Thankfully the floor was carpeted, and the glass did not break.
She was about to reach down to pick it up, but Qin Muchen picked it up before she could.
He noticed that she was acting oddly. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing. It just slipped."
Su Ziyue looked down at her shopping and loss all enthusiasm for it.
Qin Muchen's phone suddenly rang.
He hadn't managed to ask her what had happened before he brought her to the hospital.
It was one of his men. They were calling to report to him about what had happened before.
Qin Muchen's expression changed drastically when he was told what had happened.
Aika! That damned woman!
She only knew how to create trouble!
And she had let his woman get hurt!
Su Ziyue's thoughts were preoccupied so she did not notice Qin Muchen's expression change.
"Remember what I said; stay away from Aika." Qin Muchen reminded her.
"You've known Aika for a long time, haven't you?" Su Ziyue asked.
Qin Muchen froze. "Yes."
When he saw that she was still staring at him, he added, "We used to work together."
"What do you mean you used to work together?"
Su Ziyue was confused. One was a business tycoon and the other, a royal princess. What reason did they have to work together?
Qin Muchen's eyes darkened.
He avoided looking at her and turned away. After a moment of silence, he said, "She has an army in the palm of her hand."
…
Qin Muchen had been feeling uneasy ever since Su Ziyue had gotten hurt.
The following days after that, instead of working, Qin Muchen spent most of his time by Su Ziyue's side.
Aika, on the other hand, did not appear after that. It was like she had disappeared into thin air.
She finally met Aika at Jingcheng Airport when she was about to fly back to Yunzhou City.
Aika was surrounded by security and servants. She waved excitedly when she saw Su Ziyue. "Ziyue."
"Aika, I thought you had return to Country J." Su Ziyue thought that Aika had returned to Country J as she had not seen her for so long.
Aika patted her on the shoulder. "I'm not in a hurry to go back as I haven't had enough fun yet."
Qin Muchen came up from behind her. "Hand." He spat.
Aika immediately rescinded her hand.
Su Ziyue nudged Qin Muchen with her elbow.
As if he didn't feel it, he put his arm around her and led her away.
Su Ziyue agreed that Qin Muchen was being petty and very ungentlemanly.
…
Back in Yunzhou City, Su Ziyue felt like everything that had happened was like a dream.
Aika was also in Yunzhou City.
Even though Qin Muchen was petty, he still spent some time making sure Aika was taken care of at Lumiere Jade House.
After Qin Muchen went to meet Nan Chuan, Aika slowly approached Su Ziyue, "Is this Qin Muchen's business?"
"Yup. He also arranged for you to have the presidential suite. You should be very comfortable there."
"I guess he isn't too bad after all." Aika shrugged.
They continued chatting as they walked toward the elevator.
There were quite a number of people walking around them. Aika made sure to stand on Su Ziyue's injured side so that people wouldn't accidentally bump into her arm.
Su Ziyue was touched by how considerate Aika was being.
An individual's character was decided by their environment and how they handled things.
In Su Ziyue's opinion, while of noble birth, Aika had good character. Even though she was really scary when she killed that man the other day, Aika was still kind and sincere.
She found Aika and Qin Muchen to be very similar.
The both of them entered the elevator. Just as the doors were about to close, two people entered.
It turned out to be Su Yige and Gong Zeyang.
Su Yige's belly was massive while Gong Zeyang seemed to have lost a lot of weight. They looked like their souls had been sucked out of them.
Aika frowned and spoke, "Could you move? My friend's arm is hurt."
Su Yige looked up and saw that it was Su Ziyue.
"Su Ziyue!"
Su Yige had not seen Su Ziyue since Su Group was acquired.
Su Ziyue took a step back. She looked at her but did not say anything.
"Can you not hear me? I'm telling you to move." Aika's eyes flashed. She knew at once that Su Ziyue knew this woman.
But this woman had a really nasty look in her eyes.
When Su Ziyue ignored her, Su Yige felt as if she was being looked down upon. She went white with anger, "I am a pregnant woman. You are the one who needs to move!"
