Chapter 55
Su Ziyue red at An Xia while thetter stuck out her tongue at her and stopped talking.
On the other hand, Bai Jingshu hid at the side, took a few photos of Su Ziyue, and sent them to Qin
Muchen with a message that read, Muchen, your wife is so pretty even when she is picking the edible
part of vegetables.
…
Qin Muchen was having a meeting at LK Group.
Sitting at the head of the table with a copy of a proposal that had just been handed to him, he looked
more ghastly as he read through it.
Seeing that his face was clouding over, the other executives who were present fell silent, deathly afraid
to even breathe loudly.
After a minute, Qin Muchen threw the proposal in his hand to the middle of the conference table and
said with a cold tone, “Is this the proposal you came up with after discussing and researching for a
month?”
The temperature in the meeting room dropped abruptly as no one dared to speak.
No one could figure out the temper of this big boss, and no one dared to provoke him either.
Ding dong.
Qin Muchen turned his head and nced at his phone. It was a notification for a new text message.
He opened it nonchntly and found that it was Bai Jingshu who had sent him the message.
When he viewed it, he saw Su Ziyue sitting on a stool with her head down while picking the edible part
of vegetables.
His knitted brows slightly eased. There were several photos; he clicked to save each one to his gallery
until he saw the message: Muchen, your wife is so pretty even when she is picking the edible part of
vegetables.
Knowing that she was his wife, Bai Jingshu still dared to take photos and send them to him, showing off
in front of Qin Muchen; he couldn’t even enter Su Ziyue’s ce now.
I won’t go back to Yunteng to help him anymore!
The subordinates present were all watching Qin Muchen’s expression. Seeing his expression that had
eased turned gloomy again, everyone prayed for themselves in their hearts; they seemed to be unable
to escape.
Qin Muchen held the phone in his hand without raising his head. “I will give you another week. If you
still can’te up with a proposal that satisfies me, you will pack everything and go home!”
The subordinates replied in unison, “Thank you, President!”
His willingness to give them a chance was already a show of mercy.
Earlier on, they had heard that their boss had just returned to China, but he didn’t really show up much,
onlying to thepany more frequently in recent days.
His decisiveness and vigor made these subordinates who had beenzing around for a long time
suffer.
“The meeting is over. You all may leave.” Although Qin Muchen directed the words at his group of
subordinates, his eyes were still fixed on the photo of Su Ziyue.
She did not appear cold when picking edible parts of vegetables at all, but she looked rather gentle.
His slender fingertip gently scratched Su Ziyue’s face on the screen as a hint of tenderness appeared
in his dark eyes.
He had not been able to sleep well for many days in a row; he hadn’t had this problem when he was
abroad for so many years. Why can’t I sleep without her by my side?
As long as it was rted to her, it could make him angry even if it was just a small matter, which was
not like him at all.
Nan Chuan was right; I should get a proper medical examination. Maybe it’s just a health problem that
prevents me from sleeping well.
As he was thinking about it, he received Nan Chuan’s call.
“Boss, I made an appointment with a doctor for you. Your secretary said that you could spare an hour
at noon.”
In other words, he needed to go for the medical examination during this one hour.
Qin Muchen frowned and said without hesitation, “I have something to do at noon. Change the time.”
After that, he was slightly stunned; he didn’t seem to have any appointments at noon...
He just wanted to go to Su Ziyue’s ce.
She can let Bai Jingshu in, but why not me?
…
Bai Jingshu sat on the sofa in the living room like a boss, watching the game on TV.
Su Ziyue arranged the ingredients that An Xia had cut onto tes and put them on the table one by
one. After realizing that a te of beef was too full, she nned to go in the kitchen and take another
te out to put the extra meat.
Right after she went into the kitchen, Bai Jingshu’s phone rang.
He nced toward the direction of the kitchen before answering the phone. “What?”
“Open the door.”
This short phrase was only heard on the phone before the call disconnected. It was such a typical
move for Qin Muchen—being straightforward and concise with irrelevant people.
Pooh! I’ve known Qin Muchen for more than ten years, so why have I be an irrelevant person to
him?
Bai Jingshu felt that he also needed to go to the hospital for aprehensive examination.
He nced secretly toward the direction of the kitchen; the kitchen was semi-open. He saw An Xia and
Su Ziyue standing together and talking. They happened to be facing away from him, so he stood up
and opened the door sneakily.
As soon as Bai Jingshu opened the door, he asked, “Aren’t you going for a body checkup at noon
today? Why did youe here?”
Qin Muchen nced at him and said nothing.
Bai Jingshu shut his mouth knowingly; he couldn’t help but guess what was going on between Qin
Muchen and Su Ziyue now.
He could smell the hot pot seasoning as soon as he entered the house.

He had lived here for nearly two months, so he was very clear about theyout of the ce.
After walking in, he looked around for Su Ziyue.
Bai Jingshu walked to him and whispered, “She’s in the kitchen.”
He looked toward the kitchen and heard a string of crispughter; both girls startedughing after
saying something.
An Xia gave a dry cough and whispered, “I think of the egomaniac when I see a toothpick now…”
Su Ziyue beat her lightly. “If Bai Jingshu hears this, he will surely beat you up.”
“I’m not afraid of him. He is so fair and thin—just like a weak chicken.” An Xia pouted as she stirred the
contents of the pot with adle.
Remembering that she came in to get a te, Su Ziyue turned around and opened the cupboard,
barely able to reach the te by tiptoeing…
Suddenly, a powerful arm was suddenly ced around her waist to stabilize her body, while another
hand appeared in front of her and took a te down.
Su Ziyue’s heart skipped a beat as she turned her head hurriedly. She then caught sight of Qin
Muchen’s deep and beautiful eyes.
“Why don’t you ask others to get it for you? Why must you always act tough?” Qin Muchen scolded her
lightly as he washed the te under the tap.
Su Ziyue stared at him nkly. “Why are you here?”
Her question was ‘why are you here’, and not ‘how did you get in’.
Qin Muchen paused his movement slightly as a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
“Umm…”
An Xia plucked up the courage and said, “Mr. Qin, just give me this te.”
An Xia reached out and took the te from Qin Muchen’s hand. She then handed him a dry towel and
said, “Wipe your hands.”
There was a kind of person in this world who was born to be looked up to, and An Xia thought that Qin
Muchen was such a kind of person.
She felt something was wrong when she watched him bend down to wash the te. She wanted to
take it to wash it herself and serve Qin Muchen a cup of tea just so that he could sit peacefully by the
side.
She had always been a person with no sense of ss; it was the first time she had such a terrifying
sense of resignation after seeing someone.
“Thank you.”
Unlike the unkindness he showed when he saw An Xia for the first time, Qin Muchen took the towel
and thanked her politely.
An Xia quickly waved her hand. “It’s nothing.”
Don’t thank me, I’ll feel stressed.
