Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95

They sat across from each other at the dining table.

After eating three mini pizzas with bacon on top, Su Ziyue reached out again to grab a sandwich, which made Qin Muchen glance at her long and hard.

Her outstretched hand paused in midair as she could not decide whether to retract or to put it down, feeling that his gaze was a little weird.

Seeing how she stopped in her tracks, he tried to suppress a grin and placed the sandwich on her plate. "Eat more," he said after heating her a glass of milk and setting it in front of her.

Although she felt that there was a weird look in his eyes, she was still eating as she should and was doing it very seriously.

Just as she was taking a sip of milk, she heard him say, "Last night, I was the one who did all the work. I didn't think that it would still make you so tired."

Choking on her milk, she swore he must have done it on purpose.

When he saw that she was choking for real, he went over to her side and patted her back. "How could you be so careless even when you're eating?"

She lifted her head and glared at him—did he not stop to think who was the one who got her choking?

After eating, Su Ziyue went to check on Beef and when she came back after giving it some food and drink, she saw that Qin Muchen had already gone to the study.

Right at this moment, someone unlocked the main door. Turning around, she saw that it was Nan Chuan.

When Nan Chuan saw Su Ziyue, he smiled so wide that his eyes narrowed into a thin line. "Good morning, Miss Su."

Since he was the one who found this house for Qin Muchen and dropped by often, Qin Muchen had given him the key to this place.

"Good morning," she greeted, wondering why he was smiling like that.

"You left your handbag at Lumiere Jade Place last night." Holding some documents in one hand, he handed her a handbag with his other hand.

This was indeed the bag she had left at Lumiere Jade House last night.

"Thank you," she said and took the handbag from him. He nodded and went upstairs to look for Qin Muchen.

Opening her handbag, she found her cellphone and saw that there was an unread text and a missed call, both from Lu Shichu. She sat down on the couch and returned his call.

As for the things Qin Muchen had said to her in the morning, she did not take it to heart at all and merely thought of it as one of his mood swings.

Nan Chuan went upstairs and knocked on the door to the study. After hearing a reply from Qin Muchen, he pushed the door open and went in.

"Mr. Qin, I have the information that you asked for. Take a look," Nan Chuan said as he placed a huge pile of documents in front of him.

Casually picking up a file, Qin Muchen read a few lines from it before lifting his head to look at him. "You have the key to my villa?"

Although he was puzzled, he still nodded and replied, "Yes, I do."

"Give it to me," he said as he put down the document in his hand.

Nan Chuan was dumbstruck but he seemed to understand something the next second. According to Bai Jingshu, Mr. Qin had left with Miss Su last night.

He took a closer look at Qin Muchen's face. Although he was usually expressionless, Nan Chuan had been working under him for such a long time that he could still kind of tell if he was happy or mad.

Handing the key to the villa over to him, Nan Chuan said, "Congratulations on getting the beauty, Mr. Qin."

He glanced at him with an arrogant look in his eyes. "She has always been mine."

"You're right, Mr. Qin." Just some time ago, he had been staring at her from a distance and even when he wanted to get a dog, he looked for one that had a similar personality with Miss Su.

Of course, Nan Chuan could only keep these thoughts to himself.

Despite not saying a word, he could tell that Qin Muchen was in a good mood.

Tentatively, he asked, "Mr. Qin, I would like to take a week off."

"Okay." Qin Muchen nodded with his eyes still on the document in his hand without even lifting his head.

Nan Chuan's eyes popped open in disbelief. He had asked him several times before this but he would rather pay him extra than to let him have some time off. But now, he was so generous!

Miss Su sure had godlike abilities. He decided that he must ride on her coattails.

Seeing that Nan Chuan was still there, Qin Muchen put down the document and looked at him. "Aren't you leaving now?"

"Right away," he said and turned to leave.

After the door closed, Qin Muchen held the key in his palm and smiled. Then, he got up and left as well.

The moment Nan Chuan went out of the study, he practically skipped all the way downstairs.

Su Ziyue, who had just hung up her call, was surprised to see Nan Chuan in that state.

Nan Chuan went to her and took her hands in his. "Miss Su, you're simply my lucky star. No, you're my God of Luck. I haven't had any time off for three years, you know that?"

"Three years?" Su Ziyue was so surprised that she forgot to retract her hands. "Why are you still working for a boss like that?"

"It seems like you don't want your time off at all." Qin Muchen's voice suddenly came from the top of the staircase. His tone was cold and his sharp gaze was fixated on their hands.

It was then that Nan Chuan came back to his senses and took a few steps back before saying to him in a grovelling manner, "I want my vacation. I really, really want a vacation. I'm leaving now, bye!"

Then, he left with lightning speed.

After Nan Chuan was gone, only then did Qin Muchen come down the staircase.

Su Ziyue asked, "You didn't allow him to go on vacation for three years?"

"He doesn't need a vacation."

"You're abusing your employee."

His expression darkened but he wasn’t angry. He explained, "He's an orphan. Even if he has time off, he wouldn't have anything to do."

Nan Chuan was an orphan?

She was stunned. "The last time, didn't you say that his sister…”

A glimmer flashed in his eyes but it disappeared very quickly. "She’s not his blood sister."

It had happened so long ago but she still remembered.

Not waiting for her to say anything else, he said, "Give me your hand."

"What for?" she asked, but still stretched out her hand obediently.

Without saying a word, he silently placed the key, which had warmed up in his hand, into her soft palm.

Seeing that he had given her a key, her eyes widened.

Holding her hand, he said in a low, stately voice, “As the mistress, how could you not have a key to the house?”

“This is the key to the villa?” Despite that being her question, she was actually thinking about his previous sentence, ‘as the mistress’.

Did that mean he was not planning to divorce her anymore?

Under her gaze filled with anticipation, he grunted softly and turned to go upstairs.

Delighted, Su Ziyue dashed forward and grabbed him. “Qin Muchen, do you like me a lot?”

If that was not the case, he would not have saved her time and again. When she said things that made him mad, he did not leave her alone and even tolerated her after she had slapped him.

“I don’t usually like to answer this kind of question.” He was silent for a couple of seconds before he turned to look at her with a profound look in his eyes. “I like to show it through actions.”

Su Ziyue’s eyes lit up and before she could say anything, he continued, “Just like last night.”

When he finished, he took her hand which was grabbing the hem of his shirt, planted a kiss on it and turned to go upstairs.

Speechless, she thought that she was a complete idiot to have asked him that.
