Qin Muchen held Su Ziyue's hand as they walked ahead.
Su Ziyue scratched Qin Muchen's palm with her fingernails as she had been trying so hard to match them together.
"This was what you meant by Princess Aika looking for some fun?"
He even purposefully added "because he's a man" so that she'd misunderstand.
Nan Chuan had previously said that it was an important event in his life.
"Obviously, what kind of fun did you think it was?"
They'd reached the car at that point, and Qin Muchen pulled the car door open. He stepped aside and looked at Su Ziyue as he spoke, implying that she should get in the car.
However, his eyes were full of meaning that it made Su Ziyue feel extremely embarrassed.
Before Su Ziyue could say anything, Qin Muchen leaned over and planted a kiss on her lips when she wasn't paying attention before pushing her into the car.
"Good girl, get in the car." His actions were gentle as he spoke, not coming into contact with the injury on her arm at all.
Su Ziyue's lips twitched and turned her head to the side with a 'hmph'.
Qin Muchen got into the car and buckled the seatbelt for her amusingly.
"It's inconvenient for me to play mahjong." It was inconvenient to do anything with an injured arm.
"I don't know how to play mahjong," Qin Muchen said, like he was very pleased with himself.
"Then why did you agree to play with Princess Aika?"
He didn't know how to play but agreed to go along, what a fool!
"But you know how to play, can't you just teach me?" Qin Muchen said while starting the car.
Su Ziyue asked, "How do you know that I can play?"
When she studied overseas, her seniors would drag her along to play mahjong when she was free. In fact, she was quite bad at it.
There was some cheek in his tone, "There's nothing about you that I don't know."
Su Ziyue thought he was just fooling around.
But in the next moment, she heard Qin Muchen say faintly, "I know your first crimson wave came when you were seventeen years old."
Huh?
Qin Muchen continued, muttering to himself, "It's a little late compared to your peers."
Su Ziyue balled up her fists. "Shut up!"
Qin Muchen didn't say anything else, but laughter echoed in the car.
Su Ziyue felt that there would come a day where she would really beat Qin Muchen up!
…
The moment they reached Lumiere Jade House, a room for playing mahjong had already been arranged.
Because Su Ziyue couldn't move her arm, there was one empty seat, so they filled it up with one of the workers from Lumiere Jade House at the last minute.
After a few rounds, the husband and wife were left in the dust.
Nan Chuan won with both fear and delight.
There was finally something that his boss couldn't do!
Su Ziyue looked at the money they were losing that was flowing out like water. She said to Qin Muchen softly in an aggrieved tone, "Why don't you look for other people to play with them? If you keep losing like this, we won't have enough money for Beef's dog food."
She couldn't imagine that Princess Aika had such a gift for this. She could even pick up a recreational activity like mahjong that came from Country Z so quickly!
Qin Muchen smiled lightly and his pitch-black eyes were suddenly colored with mirth. "What are you afraid of? I'll win it back in the next round."
Su Ziyue didn't know what to say to Qin Muchen's simultaneously scoffing and arrogant tone. After all, she knew that Qin Muchen would always honor what he said.
As a result, Qin Muchen actually won the money back when the next round ended.
Su Ziyue counted the money while beaming. She knew that Qin Muchen would do what he said he would.
But at the same time, she felt slightly sad.
Was this really because of intellect?
She had a few years' experience of playing mahjong, but Qin Muchen took to it like a duck to water.
"Qin Muchen, I thought you didn't know how to play!"
Who knew that Princess Aika would suddenly flare up with anger.
Su Ziyue was slightly confused. In all the time that they had spent together, Princess Aika had given the impression of being easy to get along with. There was no way that she'd get angry because of losing at mahjong.
Princess Aika lacked neither the manner nor the money in Su Ziyue's impression of her.
Qin Muchen said indifferently, "There's an old saying in Country Z. There are winners and losers in every game."
Aika laughed coldly. "Hmph, don't talk nonsense. I know all of this, I've learned your language since young!"
"If you knew about it, then there's no need to get angry." Qin Muchen leaned backwards, and his expression slowly became serious.
Su Ziyue saw Princess Aika's face changing.
She didn't understand. It was just mahjong; why was she getting angry?
At the same time, she noticed that the air in the room was a little odd.
Nan Chuan sat where he was and looked down. He didn't say a word.
The air was slightly filled with tension and it was stifling.
"Qin Muchen!"
Aika's voice sounded like she was gnashing her teeth in anger.
Nan Chuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. He said to the other worker who was playing mahjong, "You can go back to work."
The worker immediately got up and left once Nan Chuan said that.
"I'm preparing to return to Country J in a few days. There are still many affairs to put in order. I'm going back to my room."
Aika stood up and left. She was staying at Lumiere Jade House.
No matter how you looked at it, that figure looked like there was still lingering anger.
Muchen, "Why did Princess Aika get angry?"
"Aren't all women fickle and unstable like her? It's nothing out of the ordinary." Qin Muchen's tone was extremely calm.
Su Ziyue blinked. She felt that it wasn't as simple as what Qin Muchen said.
She raised her head to look at Nan Chuan, only to see him counting money with an aloof look on his face.
Su Ziyue was slightly frustrated. These two men...
…
After dinner, both of them went home and took Beef out for a walk.
On the way home, Qin Muchen suddenly said, "Let's go for a getaway when there's time."
Su Ziyue had never been on a holiday with Qin Muchen. Without thinking, she said, "Sure."
Qin Muchen continued, "Let's go tomorrow."
Su Ziyue was stunned. "Didn't you say we'd go when there's time?"
"I have time tomorrow." Qin Muchen squeezed her hand slightly.
Su Ziyue thought that it was rare for Qin Muchen to have some time off, so she nodded.
…
The next day, Qin Muchen was packing both their luggage early in the morning.
Su Ziyue woke up later than him and sat on the bed while hugging the comforter. She watched as Qin Muchen stuffed clothes of all seasons into their luggage.
Along with daily beauty products and commonly used medicine.
Everything was packed neatly and tidily, nothing was left behind.
Even the thin wings that Su Ziyue used every month for those few days... A few packs of those were crammed into their luggage.
Su Ziyue asked, slightly abashed, "Are we going for a year?"
Without turning his head, Qin Muchen replied, "It's not like we can't do that if you want to."
She'd like to.
"Why don't you leave your job at Yanyue Media?"
After Qin Muchen finished packing one of the suitcases, he lifted it up and set it aside. He turned around and sat at the edge of the bed, reaching his hand out to smooth her bedhead. His voice was surprisingly enticing. "How about that?"
