Chapter 106
Su Ziyue woke up very early the next morning, but someone else had woken up even earlier than she
had. The moment she came downstairs, Qin Muchen had already prepared her breakfast. “Come over
and have your breakfast,” said Qin Muchen.
“What a hearty spread!” Su Ziyue eximed the moment she sat down at the dining table.
Qin Muchen did not utter a word other than putting on a smile. She had lost quite some weight during
this period of time, so that was why Qin Muchen made it his mission to make her delicious foods to
properly feed her. Su Ziyue did not know that he had so many thoughts in mind and merely sat down to
eat.
Qin Muchen was delighted to see that she was having a good appetite. After the both of them finished
their breakfast, they both drove themselves to work. At first, Qin Muchen wanted to give Su Ziyue a
ride, but thetter refused.
…
Su Ziyue felt rather unfamiliar with the Su Group after having to stoping to work for over a week.
She ran into An Xia right after she had parked her car.
“Good morning, Ziyue.”
“Good morning.” Su Ziyue turned around to smile at An Xia as she waited for her toe over to her
spot.
An Xia then grasped Su Ziyue’s arms while she walked alongside her. Meanwhile, Su Ziyue could
clearly sense something wrong the moment she stepped into the main door of thepany.
“Good morning, Miss Su.”
“Miss Su, you’re looking great in that dress today.”
“Miss Su…”
There were all sorts of greetings from the moment she entered the building until she had reached her
own office. Su Ziyue looked at An Xia in an inexplicable manner. “What happened during thest week
when I was not around?” she asked An Xia.
“I don’t know either. Nothing much happened, and everything was like usual yesterday.” An Xia felt odd
as well.
Hence, Su Ziyue could only restrain the doubts she had in mind. It was until the meeting when she
finally realized what had happened; Su Yige had been sent abroad all of a sudden. Right after the
meeting, Su Ziyue was called over to Su Youcheng’s office.
“Ziyue, you’ve been resting for quite some time now. Are you feeling better?” Su Youcheng sounded
concerned when he spoke.

On the other hand, Su Ziyue replied in a calm manner, “I’m doing rather fine. Thank you for your
concern, Grandpa.”
In fact, Su Youcheng was only trying to act it out; if he really was concerned about her, how could he
not give her any calls during the past week? Thinking about this, she was quite regretful that she had
visited him in the hospital previously. He did not care about Su Ziyue anyway; all he cared about was
Su Yige. Nheless, she could not deny the fact that Su Youcheng had let her grow up safely. Su
Youcheng had skimped on her allowances, food and clothing, but he did not deprive her of everything
completely.
She was thinking about Su Yige when Su Youcheng started mentioning her as well. “Recently, there’s a
new project in one of the branches abroad that is about to take ce. Yige was very interested in that
project, and she’s experienced as well. However, she has departed overnight and won’t be back for at
least another two to three months.”
Su Youcheng halted his words as if he was trying to observe Su Ziyue’s reaction—Su Ziyue did feel
strange about this. Su Yige was doing just fine here; why did she head abroad all of a sudden? If she
had not gotten it wrong, Su Yige’s wedding with Gong Zeyang would be held early next year. Moreover,
how was she not worried about Gong Zeyang being left alone in the country? Furthermore, she would
not being back for at least two to three months.
Nheless, Su Ziyue did not express her thoughts through her facial expressions; she only put on a
smile on her face and said, “It seems like Yige is still quite ambitious in her career.”
“You’re right. That project is slightlyplicated, and I’m not sure that it can bepleted within three
months’ time. She has left a mess just by leaving like this…”
Once Su Youcheng had started the conversation, it was as if he could not stop talking. He continued to
speak endlessly as though he was discontented about Su Yige leaving the country all of a sudden. Su
Ziyue listened to him quietly all this while and did not give any of her opinions either. In fact, she
already had some other thoughts in mind; she had been absent from work for more than a week, and
so she had to recall the projects that she was handling before she went on leave.
Su Youcheng had been talking for quite a while now. He raised his head to find Su Ziyue quietly
listening to him nagging. To him, Su Ziyue was a person with great patience. He abruptly fell in awe
before he waved his hand. “How about this? You shall take over Yige’s ce for the time being.”
“Me?” Su Ziyue doubtfully pointed her finger toward herself after listening to Su Youcheng. Was he sure
that he had not said something wrong? He wanted to let Su Ziyue take over Su Yige’s position? If that
really was the case, she wouldn’t return the position even when Su Yige returned.
Su Youcheng noticed that Su Ziyue did not have a contented look on her face. He then put on a sullen
expression, thinking that Su Ziyue was unwilling to do so. “Just do whatever I say.”
“Thank you for having faith in me, Grandpa.” Su Ziyue raised her head as she let out a confident smile.
“I’ll be sure to not let you down.”
“Alright then. You can leave now.” Su Youcheng waved his hand while he spoke.
…
Su Ziyue was still having doubts the moment she exited Su Youcheng’s office. Her instincts were telling
her that it would not be so simple for Su Yige to leave the country so hastily. However, she was unable
to figure out what went wrong.
When she returned to her office, An Xia was already waiting for her inside. The smile on her face was
brilliant. “Congrattions, Director Su.”
“Do you know why Su Yige suddenly went abroad?” Su Ziyue did not feel like there was anything she
should be happy about taking over Su Yige’s position. She only felt strange about Su Yige’s behavior—
it did not go along with her style. She had fallen into Su Yige’s trap countless times. Once Su Yige
started acting abnormally, she would feel like Su Yige was up to something.
“I’m not sure; no one knows why she has gone abroad. I didn’t hear any rumors yesterday, and all of us
only knew today.” An Xia was not concerned about this matter. “Let’s not talk about her. You’ve taken
over her position; if she were to know about it, she would burst into rage.”
However, Su Ziyue was just the opposite of An Xia; she was more concerned about why Su Yige had
gone overseas.
…
Everyone in thepany was aware of Su Yige heading toward a subsidiary of thepany to handle
a new project. The news of Su Ziyue taking over Su Yige’s position on Su Youcheng’s order had also
quickly spread all over thepany. Thus, it could be said that there was a plot twist in Su Ziyue’s
current situation in thepany. Even at the toilet, there would be people letting her first. This was the
reality.
Su Ziyue was delighted to face such reality. Since she had taken over the position as a director, she
would definitely not give up on it. Nheless, she had carried home the doubts she had in mind.
Qin Muchen had not returned home when she arrived after work. She sat in the living room and
watched TV as she had nothing else to do. The show that was currently airing showed the leading
female preparing a hearty dinner right after work as she waited for the leading male toe home. It
was totally the opposite for her and Qin Muchen. She pondered about it, thinking that she should do
something for him.
She could clearly see Qin Muchen’s kindness from having to spend countless sleepless nights with her
during the week that had passed without anyints. It was sincere. She felt like she should do
something for Qin Muchen.
He had put his work aside just to apany her at home. After he was done with a day’s work, he had
to cook for them both as well; it seemed exhausting. However, the fact was that she did not know how
to cook at all…
