Chapter 81


    “It’s fine. I’ve been wearing it for years. It’s still working, and I’ve gotten used to it.” Su Ziyue looked at


    her wrist and smiled radiantly.


    Lu Shichu couldn’t help but smile and reach out to pat her head.


    Sitting at a side, Qin Muchen narrowed his eyes and stared gloomily at their intimate interaction. Then,


    he walked over and wrapped an arm around Su Ziyue’s shoulder while saying in a frosty voice, “I didn’t


    expect that you’re an old friend of my wife.”


    Upon hearing the word ‘wife’, Lu Shichu looked surprised. He then turned to look at Su Ziyue,


    seemingly trying to get her affirmation. Su Ziyue didn’t expect that Qin Muchen would say that, so she


    didn’t know how to react at that moment. Under Lu Shichu’s gaze, she bowed her head.


    Lu Shichu took it as her admitting it. Although he was extremely astonished, he knew this wasn’t the


    time to talk about it. Therefore, after packing his things and saying a few words, he left.


    Su Ziyue walked him to the door to send him off. After watching him leave, she was about to turn back


    when she heard Qin Muchen’s voice from behind her. “He’s already gone. Are you that reluctant to let


    him go?”


    Upon hearing his tone, Su Ziyue sensed that something wasn’t right. But Qin Muchen was right that


    she was reluctant to let Lu Shichu go. “It’s been years since I’ve met Shichu. I’m indeed sad to see him


    go.” Su Ziyue sighed, mixed emotions on her face.


    Shichu? What an intimate form of addressing him, and she was even sad that he left. Qin Muchen took


    a few deep breaths before finally suppressing the rage in his heart. After giving Su Ziyue a cold nce,


    he turned to go upstairs.


    “Qin—” Su Ziyue wanted to call him, but she swallowed her words after looking at his indifferent back.


    She then turned to look at Beef, who was in the cage. “Your father has a bad temper.”


    Beef nced at her before lowering its head and continued to sleep. Su Ziyue couldn’t help but mutter


    softly, “Your temper is just as bad…”


    …


    Too much had happened tonight, so Su Ziyue was exhausted. Qin Muchen must have gone to sleep


    since he went upstairs. Should she stay here overnight? She suddenly recalled what had happened


    when she came to this vi previously and blushed. But then, she recalled that she and Qin Muchen


    had made things clear, so he probably wouldn’t do anything to her. With that thought, she went upstairs


    as well.


    Once she got upstairs, she bumped into Qin Muchen who was walking out from the bedroom in a


    bathrobe.


    “You’re not asleep yet?” Looking at Qin Muchen’s poker face, he somehow felt unfamiliar to her, and


    she even felt a tinge of fear. But as soon as she finished her sentence, Qin Muchen turned and directly


    closed the door.


    She was speechless. Why did she feel that Qin Muchen was throwing a tantrum? Having no idea why


    Qin Muchen was angry, Su Ziyue could only find a room beside the master bedroom to sleep. When


    she opened the closet, she realized that it was empty, and she didn’t have clothes either. What should


    she do? Should she knock on Qin Muchen’s door again? That was the only solution.


    She walked to Qin Muchen’s door and knocked on it. He probably wouldn’t be so angry to the point of


    refusing to open the door for her, right?


    Half a minuteter, Qin Muchen finally came to open the door. Seeing Su Ziyue standing at the door, a


    dim light shed across his eyes while subtle anticipation could be heard in his voice. “What?”


    His eyes were scorching, causing Su Ziyue to bow her head in uneasiness. “Can you lend me your


    clothes? I don’t have clothes to change into…”


    Qin Muchen’s face sank, and he mmed the door shut. After a few seconds, the door was opened


    again. Before Su Ziyue could see Qin Muchen clearly, a shirt was hurled at her, and itnded right on


    her head. After Su Ziyue took down the shirt from her head, the door was closed again.


    Su Ziyue frowned, confused. Did he regret saving her after recalling those harsh words she said


    previously? The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that her suspicions were right.


    She then brought that shirt back to her room.


    After bathing, she changed into that shirt and washed her bra, thinking that she would wear it tomorrow.


    However, with this weather, it wouldn’t dry even if it was left until the next morning. Yet, she didn’t dare


    to knock on Qin Muchen’s door again. She tip-toed and searched around. Fortunately, she found a


    dryer on the first floor. After she dried her bra and went to go upstairs, she ran into Qin Muchen, who


    was walking down.


    Su Ziyue tried to hide her bra in her arms while greeting him, “Qin Muchen.”


    He didn’t look sleepy, so it seemed like he wasn’t asleep. He probably came down for a ss of water.


    Qin Muchen didn’t expect that she would still be downstairs at such ate hour. His eyes wandered to


    her fair legs.


    He had given her a ck shirt. Since her skin was fair and her height was only slightly above his


    shoulders, the ck shirt looked loose and wide on her, making her seem even more slender and


    skinny. That ck shirt and her fair skin. Qin Muchen could not look away.


    Finally, he turned his head away. Feeling that his throat was dry, he lifted his hand to his neck and


    realized that he didn’t have a necktie on. His expression sullen, he asked coldly, “Why are you


    wandering around instead of sleeping?”


    “Nothing.” Su Ziyue bowed her head, trying to hide her bra deeper in her arms.


    Qin Muchen realized that she was hiding something in her arms too, but he didn’t ask about it and just


    continued to walk down the stairs.


    Without looking at him, Su Ziyue lifted her feet to walk up. When she walked past him, she sensibly


    shrank to the side, keeping a distance from him. Unfortunately, her slippers were toorge, so she


    missed a step on the stairs. Slipping, she fell backward.


    “Ahhh!” Su Ziyue screamed and spread her arms, trying to grab something, and the bra in her arms


    flew off.


    Fortunately, Qin Muchen had sharp eyes and reacted fast. He swiftly caught her, and with a pull, she


    landed in his arms. Out of reflex, Su Ziyue wrapped her arms around his waist and let out a long sigh of


    relief, the fear still lingering. Then, she suddenly realized that she was hugging Qin Muchen’s waist.


    Recalling her embarrassing moment when she almost fell down just now, she instantly let go like she


    got electrocuted.


    However, Qin Muchen’s arms on her waist became even tighter, so she couldn’t leave his embrace. As


    such, she tried to push him. “Qin Muchen…” Her voice still had some lingering fear, so it was slightly


    trembling. It pulled at Qin Muchen’s heart, making his heart race.


    Their eyes met. Su Ziyue’s eyes still had a trace of fear, while Qin Muchen’s eyes were deep,


    seemingly burning with mes. Therge hand on her waist felt scorching hot, and only a thinyer of


    fabric separated them.


    Qin Muchen didn’t utter a word while Su Ziyue opened her mouth and struggled slightly. “L-Let me go…


    Mm—” Her remaining words were blocked by a deep kiss.


    Qin Muchen’s hand ran through her hair before gripping the back of her head. His hot lips sealed her


    mouth while his other hand grazed her waist before it roamed naughtily. It only stayed on her waist for


    a few seconds before it instinctively slid down. His kiss was deep and passionate, while his breath was


    heavy and impatient.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
