Chapter 38
Qin Muchen tossed the document folder that was in his hands onto the office table.
Afterward, he circled around the office table and walked up to Su Ziyue.
He took off his overcoat and draped it over the chair before leaning his tall and hefty torso from behind,
nearly engulfing Su Ziyue entirely.
He tilted his head to look at the girl. “Why didn’t you tell me that you wereing? What if I was not in
thepany?” asked Qin Muchen in a pleasant voice.

“I was in the area… so I thought I’d drop by…”
The both of them were leaning close to each other. Su Ziyue felt a little uneasy after sensing the heat
that wasing from Qin Muchen’s body; she even started to stammer when she spoke.
“Oh? Where were you headed to that required you to pass by mypany?” Qin Muchen lowered his
tone of voice slightly but with a modest sense of reluctance in his manner of speech.
Su Ziyue could not bear it and started blushing again.
Her initial intention was only to see if Qin Muchen was in thepany; now that she was being
questioned by Qin Muchen like so, it seemed like she hade over looking for him on purpose.
Su Ziyue turned her head over and her face reddened. “I mean it when I say I was just passing by!”
shouted Su Ziyue.
Initially, Qin Muchen had been looking at her from the side, but now that she had turned her head over,
the distance between them was close enough for them to listen to each other’s breath.
Su Ziyue blinked her eyes continuously, not knowing how to resolve the situation that she was currently
in.
Qin Muchen gazed deeply at her vermillion lips; it was as if he had lost his consciousness.
His face leaned forward a little, and their lips were about to touch when the door suddenly opened.
“Muchen, you…”
Bai Jingshu, who had opened the door and entered the room, was startled to see such a scene. He
then restrained hisughter by faking a cough. “About that, it seems like there’s still an important
document that needs to be signed by me.”
Su Ziyue’s face was burning as she was feeling both embarrassed and angry at the same time. She
wanted to have a fit with Qin Muchen, but she had to consider the fact that Bai Jingshu was there with
them.
She looked at Bai Jingshu in an awkward manner and said, “Mr. Bai, this isn’t like what you’ve
imagined… “
“I know, I get it. You don’t have to exin it to me, Mrs. Qin.” Bai Jingshu interrupted her while he
nodded profusely, even winking at her.
Bai Jingshu really was…
Su Ziyue felt helpless at that moment.
However, it was then when Qin Muchen, who was behind her, added more of his own words as he tried
to hide things. “Since you already know everything about it, why don’t you quickly get out?”
Bai Jingshu shook his head after listening to him. “Even if I’m not your boss, I’m still your brother, right?
Could you not prioritize lust over friendship?”
Qin Muchen showed no mercy toward Bai Jingshu as he gave him a frosty re. “After all, you’re not
Mrs. Qin—the person I will be spending the rest of my life with.”
Bai Jingshu then heaved a sigh as he left.
Su Ziyue did not realize what they were talking about at all; she only saw the thick and heavy wooden
door being shut.
Bai Jingshu was actually Qin Muchen’s boss at the end of the day. Moreover, he was also Qin
Muchen’s best friend. Judging from the way they talked to each other just a moment ago, their
rtionship seemed to be strongly bonded as well.
“He’s gone now. What are you still looking at?”
Su Ziyue’s body stiffened when she heard Qin Muchen’s voice. She hastily stood up and replied in a
hurry, “I was really just passing by. I still have things to do, and you’re busy as well.”
She raised her foot and was about to leave as soon as she finished talking.
However, Qin Muchen was more agile than her.
He reached out his hand to pull her back before she could even react, and shended straightaway
into his arms.
Qin Muchen wrapped his arms around her waist and sat down on the executive chair. As for Su Ziyue,
her backside hadnded straight onto hisp.
Su Ziyue was feeling even more uneasy being in such an intimate position; her first reaction was to
struggle in order to get up.
However, Qin Muchen would not let her prevail.
He kept her tightly in his arms and said, “Don’t move. Otherwise, we will get on with role ying in the
office.”
Su Ziyue was dumbfounded when she nced at him. “What?”
Qin Muchen was pleased by such a look from her. The hand that he had over her waist slightly
loosened up, using the other hand to tidy her hair.
His palmy gently over the bandage that was on her head. Shortly after, he moved his hand away
again. “The injury on your head hasn’t recovered yet. Why are you going around ces?” There was a
gentle sense of me in his voice.
“I have matters to take care of.” Su Ziyue was rather rxed after listening to his gentle voice. She did
not struggle anymore, but she was still not feeling at ease.
Qin Muchen acted like he had not noticed her uneasiness. In fact, he continued leaning against her
face and asked, “Where did you go?”
“I went to…”
When Su Ziyue was about to speak up, she halted abruptly; the words at the tip of her tongue made a
U-turn back into her throat. “You’ve been in thepany since this morning; aren’t you heading out?”
asked Su Ziyue instead.
Qin Muchen’s gaze turned sullen after listening to her. “I’ll certainly be in thepany. Are you worried
that I might go on dates with other women outside?” said Qin Muchen in his usual tone.
The stern look that Su Ziyue had put on was kept away immediately. She then replied dejectedly, “No.”
“Okay.” Qin Muchen suddenly gave her a smooch on the lips as if he was rewarding her. “It’s right to
believe in me. If you really are worried, you can check on me 24 hours a day; I won’t feel irritated.”
Su Ziyue was rather flustered. “Can you talk properly? When did I say anything about checking on
you?”
“When a woman says no, it means yes.”
“Who said that?”
“Bai Jingshu!”
“...” She had greatly misjudged Bai Jingshu; whatever ssiness and mannerisms he had, he was just
a yboy after all, leisurely guessing a woman’s thoughts.
Su Ziyue ran over to the sofa and took a seat far away from him after being teased by Qin Muchen with
all his shameless tricks.
Qin Muchen did not stop her; he only put on a frown when he saw the cup of coffee on his office desk.
“Send in a cup of hot milk tea,” said Qin Muchen through the inte.
“I want it iced.” It was a summer day; she did not want to drink hot milk tea.
Qin Muchen raised her eyebrow and looked at her, taking no notice of her at all.
Su Ziyue yelled at him, “Qin Muchen, did you hear me? I don’t want hot milk tea. I want it iced, I want it
with a lot of ice.”
How dare he make the decision of giving her hot milk tea. She didn’t want to have it!
Qin Muchen did not even look at her; his gaze was focused on the documents upon his eyes. “You’re
not allowed to drink cold beverages when you’re on your period.”
As soon as she finished, he halted the actions in his hand. “Especially on the first day,” he added.
Su Ziyue was startled on the spot. How did Qin Munchen even know about this?
“Y-You, you pervert!” Su Ziyue simply did not know how to describe Qin Muchen anymore; she had
never seen anyone so shameless as him.
He could even make sense out of something that was not logical, as if nothing could ever affect him.
The secretary knocked on the door and came in at that moment. She knew her ce as she carried the
cup of milk tea to Su Ziyue. “Mrs. Qin, please enjoy your milk tea.”
It was until the secretary had left the room when Su Ziyue finally realized something; it seemed like
everyone in thepany was addressing her as Mrs. Qin.
“All of them are calling me Mrs. Qin.”
“Yes.”
“Do you understand what I’m saying? They’re calling me…”
“That’s because my surname is Qin. There’s nothing wrong about them calling you Mrs. Qin.” Qin
Muchen still did not raise his head to look at her.
After what he had been through yesterday, even though she was having a more favorable impression
about him, she was slightly worried about his attitude when she was being addressed as “Mrs. Qin” by
the people in hispany.
