Marry Me Quick

Chapter 159

Seeing how Hong Changsheng was a hulking man with a tattoo on his neck and how intimidating and unkind he

was…

Forget it, I have to leave this place first.

Su Ziyue was a few steps away from the door after she exited the bathroom. Suddenly, there was a ‘thump’ as

someone kicked the door open from outside, revealing Qin Muchen’s tall figure standing there. His face was a stark

white as his reddened eyes landed on Su Ziyue’s body.

Su Ziyue was tongue-tied as she stared at Qin Muchen’s sudden appearance. She simply blurted out, “W-Why are

you here?”

Her panicking heart suddenly calmed down the moment she set eyes on Qin Muchen.

Qin Muchen noticed how disheveled she was; her hair was still damp, and her clothes were a mess. He wasn’t sure

whether Hong Changsheng had taken advantage of her. His fists were clenched together tightly the moment he

saw her, but he asked after a brief pause, “Didn’t I tell you to go back? What are you doing here?”

He only realized that his voice was incredibly hoarse after he spoke.

Su Ziyue snapped out of her reverie, and a thought seemingly came to her mind as she looked at his pale face. She

stepped forward and leaped into his embrace, half-whining, half-grumbling as she called, “Qin Muchen.”

Her jump into his arms had a good bit of power in it. Qin Muchen stumbled backward a bit before steadying himself

and holding her securely; he wrapped one arm around her waist while his free hand placed itself onto her damp

hair. A chill swept through his heart and his voice was shaky, but she could still hear that he was maintaining his

calmness to the best of his ability. “Are you alright…”

His voice was soft. It didn’t seem like he was asking Su Ziyue—rather, it seemed more like he was comforting

himself.

She should be fine. While she did look disheveled, her expression was normal. However, under normal

circumstances, Su Ziyue had never tried to endear herself to him like this.

At the thought of it, Qin Muchen’s body stiffened even more, and his grip around Su Ziyue’s waist tightened.

Su Ziyue hurt a little from his hold on her, but she didn’t tell him.

Although it was merely a day, she felt that a century had gone by. At last, he was finally willing to hold her...

A while later, Qin Muchen spoke up, “Let’s go home.”

Su Ziyue only lifted her head up from his embrace after she heard him. She was just about to speak when she

heard a sound coming from the bathroom. Qin Muchen narrowed his eyes slightly. His attention had been

completely focused on Su Ziyue earlier to the point he nearly forgot about Hong Changsheng.

Su Ziyue only remembered that she had tied Hong Changsheng up in the bathroom when she heard the noise. She

quickly retreated from Qin Muchen’s arms as she blinked and said, “There’s someone inside the bathroom…”

Seeing Qin Muchen’s expression shift, she added in a small voice, “I tied him up in there. I…”

Qin Muchen was a little uncertain as he asked, “What are you saying?”

“That Mr. Hong or whatever—I knocked him out before locking him in the bathroom.” Su Ziyue watched as the

expression on Qin Muchen’s face suddenly loosened up like a clear sky after the clouds parted. She was stunned at

this.

“Take me to see him.” Qin Muchen’s voice resumed it’s even tone as he lowered his gaze to look at her.

“Okay,” Su Ziyue replied before grabbing Qin Muchen’s hand warily and pulling him over to the bathroom. Qin

Muchen followed her to the bathroom, pretending that he hadn’t noticed how she grabbed his hand. When he

reached the bathroom door and saw Hong Changsheng’s large body lying on the floor tied up like he was a

criminal, he raised an eyebrow as his expression darkened.

How dare this man desire his wife?

Hong Changsheng, your days of peace are over.

Su Ziyue watched as Qin Muchen glared coldly at Hong Changsheng. She had no idea what he was thinking. The

next thing she knew, Qin Muchen was pulling her outside. Su Ziyue didn’t ask where he was taking her either. Right

now, she had the odd feeling that she would go anywhere as long as it was Qin Muchen taking her there.

Wherever they went, she would not be afraid.

Qin Muchen took her right out of the venue and drove her home.

...

Su Ziyue began to feel sleepy the moment she got into the car, most likely because she was certain that she was

now safe. The ordeal from earlier had sapped a lot of her strength.

When they reached the entrance of the manor, Qin Muchen called her and said, “Time to get down.”

Although he had spoken, the woman next to him didn’t respond. Qin Muchen turned to look and noticed that she

had already fallen asleep. Her head was crooked to the side, her eyes closed; her long lashes cast a light shadow on

her face, making her look unbelievably peaceful.

Peaceful?

Qin Muchen frowned. She typically put him through the grinder—he didn’t see what was peaceful about her.

In the end, he carried Su Ziyue into the manor by himself.

He carried her into the bedroom and placed her on the bed. It was only right then that he felt his heart steady itself.

Fortunately, she was alright; otherwise, the one he would never be able to forgive would be himself.

Why must she try his patience?

She always loved to flaunt her superiority over him, but she was still a little girl on the inside. Why should he be

petty toward her?

It wasn’t like she could escape from him.

Qin Muchen gathered his wits and looked at her for a few seconds before bending down to kiss her, his lips dancing

affectionately across her own. He reluctantly got up and stepped back only after a long while. When he did, he

realized that Su Ziyue was looking at him unblinkingly with her large, crystalline eyes.

An awkward look came over Qin Muchen’s typically calm face, but he quickly returned to his usual composedness.

He looked back and said, “Now that you’re awake, go take a shower. You reek.”

Su Ziyue slowly sat up and grumbled softly, “But you still kissed me even though you complained about how I

stink…”

“Su Ziyue.” Qin Muchen’s expression was cold and solemn as he looked at her. “I’ll break your legs if you ever drink

again!”

“I’m still yours even if you break my legs. You’d just have to take care of all my physical needs for the rest of my

life.”

Nevertheless, she really couldn’t drink anymore. Even if one begged her, she wouldn’t dare to drink from that

moment on.

Qin Muchen hadn’t expected her to be this cunning. He raised an eyebrow as he looked at her. “Why would I want a

woman with crippled legs?”

“Because the said crippled woman is your wife.”

“I can always get another wife.”

Su Ziyue was at a loss of words, unsure of what to say.

Qin Muchen smugly observed her tongue-tied look. He got up and walked out, but he didn’t forget to turn his head

and remind her when he reached the door, “Take a shower.”

“Hmph!” Su Ziyue snorted softly before twisting her head to the side. However, she still obediently went to the

bathroom and showered after he went out. Once she had showered and came out dressed in her nightgown, half

an hour had already gone by. However, there was no one in the bedroom.

Su Ziyue put on her slippers and headed to the study to look for Qin Muchen. The moment she pushed the door

open and stepped in, she picked up the smell of cigarette smoke. She rarely saw him smoke.

“Why are you smoking?” Su Ziyue approached him and asked him softly.

Qin Muchen narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a few seconds. Suddenly, he tossed away the cigarette in his

hand and lifted Su Ziyue onto the study table.

Su Ziyue was startled into a surprised cry from his sudden actions. The next moment, his burning lips fell upon hers.
