Marry Me Quick

Chapter 142

Gu Hanyan stood behind Nan Chuan. She wasn’t angry even though she noticed Su Ziyue glaring at her. She smiled

instead, looking rather pleased with herself.

Su Ziyue tightened her grip on the tray while looking away in silence.

Although she trusted Qin Muchen very much, Gu Hanyan was very good at playing tricks. The woman would take

any available opportunity to get in between them. So, Su Ziyue couldn’t look down on her.

After a while, the bedroom door reopened again. Qin Muchen had changed. His hair was still a little wet and his face

looked pale, which appeared striking against his dark eyes. The contrast unintentionally offered a touch of

mesmerizing attraction to his appearance.

Su Ziyue pursed her lips. It’s fine if he’s born to be handsome, but it’s against the rules to still be so good-looking

while being sick!

Qin Muchen glanced around at all of them before he fixed his gaze on Su Ziyue. “Let’s go downstairs.”

He disliked others entering their bedroom.

“Muchen,” Gu Hanyan called out to him. Qin Muchen raised his eyes to look at her. She sounded concerned and her

voice was soft, gentle and pleasant to the ears. “Are you feeling better?”

Su Ziyue thought Gu Hanyan was a very beautiful lady. If she was a man, she would have probably fallen in love

with Gu Hanyan. Although she was curious why Qin Muchen didn’t seem to like Gu Hanyan, she was very glad about

that.

“Yeah.” Qin Muchen responded with a simple reply. He held out his hand to take the tray from Su Ziyue before

wrapping his arm around her and went downstairs.

Su Ziyue felt the burden on her hands lifted when Qin Muchen took the tray with the bowl of chicken soup on it

away. She held out her hands and tried to take it from him again. “Let me…”

Qin Muchen turned and glanced at her. A gleam of light flashed through his dark eyes. “I just have a cold and fever.

I’m not crippled. Do you think I can’t even hold a bowl of chicken soup?”

“No…” Su Ziyue said in resignation.

After getting a ‘no’ from her, Qin Muchen continued to walk forward in contentment.

Gu Hanyan bit her lip and remained standing there as she watched their interaction, forgetting that she should be

following them.

Nan Chuan took a step forward. Glancing after Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue, who walked in front of them, he

whispered to Gu Hanyan quietly, “Watching them together just makes me want to get married too. At least I’ll have

someone there to serve me water and make me a bowl of soup when I’m sick.”

The way of thinking of men and women were very different indeed.

What Nan Chuan saw was that Su Ziyue had made Qin Muchen a bowl of soup, but that appeared to Gu Hanyan as

Qin Muchen being so thoughtful that he was reluctant to even allow Su Ziyue to hold a bowl of soup. She thought

Qin Muchen’s thoughtfulness should rightfully belong to her.

“Mr. Nan, your Mandarin has improved greatly since you came back from overseas. If it isn’t because of your

beautiful blue eyes, I’m sure everyone would think that you’re a native Chinese who was born and raised in the

country.” Gu Hanyan turned and looked at Nan Chuan with a cheerful smile on her face.

Unaware of her complicated feelings and what she was thinking, Nan Chuan replied with a smile, “Everybody says

that. Haha!”

Then, Gu Hanyan went downstairs to the dining room together with Nan Chuan, looking normal again.

Qin Muchen had already sat down by the table and had his soup while Su Ziyue brought more dishes from the

kitchen.

Noticing that Gu Hanyan had come down with Nan Chuan, Su Ziyue raised her head and looked at them. “Do you

guys want to have lunch together?”

Then, she strode toward the dining table and placed a plate of Chinese cabbage stir fried with garlic she was

holding in her hands on the table. She hoped that they would stay for lunch.

This was the second time she cooked. Even though the dishes were not exactly inedible, she didn’t put salt in any of

those dishes.

Qin Muchen was sick and his taste buds weren’t sensitive anyway. So, he wouldn’t know whether the dishes were

tasty or not.

Su Ziyue would feel much better if she could let Gu Hanyan have a taste of her horribly bland dishes.

However, apparently, someone didn’t have the same thought as she did.

Qin Muchen put down his spoon, raised his head and looked at Nan Chuan. “You need to pay more attention to the

business at Lumiere Jade House. There will be lots of customers there during noon. You should go back and have a

look, in case something happens and they can’t find the person-in-charge of the place.”

Nan Chuan was surprised by Qin Muchen’s words. If he understood it correctly, his boss didn’t wish for him to stay

for lunch; his boss was chasing him away.

He treats me like dirt even after I’ve been his subordinate for so many years. Although he knew this pathetic reality

very well and sulked over it deep within his heart, Nan Chuan still smiled and said, “Mr. Qin, don’t worry. I’ll work

harder.”

“Okay.” Qin Muchen nodded in satisfaction before he turned to look at Gu Hanyan. “Aren’t you filming a new drama

recently? You’ve wasted a lot of time coming to visit me now, so just ask Nan Chuan to send you back.”

Gu Hanyan was startled. “Then, you… have a good rest and take care.”

Standing in front of the dining table, Su Ziyue was confused while staring at Qin Muchen, who sat there and chased

Nan Chuan and Gu Hanyan away matter-of-factly.

Qin Muchen didn’t forget to remind them one last thing. “Remember to close the door when you’re on your way

out.”

Su Ziyue noticed very clearly that Gu Hanyan and Nan Chuan staggered slightly when they went out.

“Why did you chase them away?” Su Ziyue poured herself a bowl of the tasteless chicken soup too and sat down on

the opposite of Qin Muchen.

Qin Muchen looked better after having finished his chicken soup slowly. He said plainly, “They’re very busy.”

He meant that it wasn’t his idea to chase them away.

Su Ziyue was speechless with him.

Qin Muchen couldn’t be bothered with what she thought either. He shoved his bowl in front of Su Ziyue with an

expressionless face. “Get me another bowl of soup.”

Su Ziyue pouted her lips as she went into the kitchen and poured him some more soup.

Qin Muchen glanced after her as she went into the kitchen. When he looked away from her, he leaned backward

against the chair before he held out his hand and massaged his temple. He still felt a bit uncomfortable.

It was his first time enjoying the privilege of Su Ziyue’s cooking, so how could he allow other strangers enjoy such

privilege for free?

Qin Muchen was a healthy young man with good stamina. So, after resting at home for a day, he had recovered

almost completely by the time he woke up in the morning next day.

While Su Ziyue was walking down the stairs, she saw the man setting breakfast on the dining table. The sight left

her slightly dazed. “Why did you wake up so early?”

“If I didn’t wake up earlier, someone might not even have breakfast at all.”

Qin Muchen just took a glance at her before he turned around again and brought two glasses of fruit juices from

the kitchen.

Su Ziyue touched her nose and sat down by the dining table. “I just forgot about it yesterday…”

After having breakfast, both of them went to work at their respective offices.

As soon as Su Ziyue arrived at the company, she was pulled to one side by An Xia. “Have you read the news?”

“No.” She had to take care of the patient on the previous day, so she didn’t have any time to read the news at all.

“Take a look at this. All comments are biased in your favor.” An Xia took out her cell phone and showed Su Ziyue

the comments on it.

A long post published on Twitter was shown on the screen. It was mainly about the incident where Gu Hanyan was

injured at the filming set, which brought out Su Ziyue’s past as well at the same time. These two topics became the

main content of the post.

Obviously, the influencer was biased in favor of Su Ziyue. Since the influencer was popular and had tons of

followers, the post naturally attracted a lot of attention from the people.

The Twitter post was shared on various social media platforms over millions of times. Almost all people commented

in favor of Su Ziyue.

After Su Ziyue finished reading the post, she wasn’t as happy as An Xia thought she would be. She just smiled

helplessly without saying a word.

When she returned to her office, Su Ziyue turned on her computer and stared blankly at the screen.

The truth was the easiest thing to conceal. Therefore, most people didn’t care about the truth; they just believed

what they wanted to see.

Everyone just wanted to be in a spot where they could criticize and sympathize with other people. The irony of the

situation was that these insignificant people had actually managed to help lessen Su Ziyue’s problems.

Because of the long Twitter post that was biased in favor of Su Ziyue, in addition to the good words that Gu Hanyan

had spoken for her prior to this, the incident ended just like that.

However, the negative side effect was that Su Ziyue seemed to be getting angry once again.
