Chapter 123
Gu Hanyan was a beauty. With her current condition, it made her seem gentler, which was a look that
would strike sympathy in people’s hearts.
Su Ziyue pulled out the simple table from the bed and ced the food she bought on it.
Gu Hanyan said softly, “Ziyue, don’t take Meng’s behavior to heart. She has been spoiled by me.”
Ziyue?
“Miss Gu, we’re not that close.” Su Ziyue took out a single-use chopstick before cing it nicely in front
of Gu Hanyan.
She recalled that she had never served anyone in this manner before.
Even though she had helped Qin Muchen so many times before this, she had never been treated this
way. The thought of this made her feel like she had been mistreated.
“Don’t be like this, Ziyue. There aren’t any outsiders here.” Gu Hanyan was looking into her eyes as if
she was looking at a kid who was throwing a tantrum.
Su Ziyue paused for a moment.
Gu Hanyan’s gaze resembled the way Qin Muchen looked at her when she was throwing tantrums.
This made her recall some of the things which she had neglected.
When Qin Muchen was giving her his exnation, he only mentioned that Gu Hanyan and him were
friends. There was nothing out of the ordinary between them.
However, he did not tell her how he met with Gu Hanyan and how long they had known each other.
It was in to see that Bai Jingshu treated Gu Hanyan quite well.
Although Bai Jingshu might usually seem like a spoiled, wealthy kid, seemingly treating every woman
well, he still knew the kind of rtionship they had.
The kindness that he treated Gu Hanyan with was the kind of natural affection between friends after
knowing each other for a long time.
This was enough to exin that Gu Hanyan and Qin Muchen had known each other for quite some
time.
Meng, who was standing at the side, interrupted, “Su Ziyue, what is going on with you? Hanyan is
thinking highly of you…”
“Can you shut up?” Su Ziyue turned her head toward Meng and threw a cold stare at her.
Just because she did not say anything, Meng had really treated her like a weakling, a target whom she
could simply bully.
“What’s this attitude that you’re giving me?” The way Meng looked at her was like an old mistress
looking at a rebelling youngdy.
Su Ziyue silently let out a snort before turning her head back to Gu Hanyan. “Did you see my dog when
you came to my house the other day, Miss Gu?”

Gu Hanyan nced at Meng before shifting her gaze toward Su Ziyue. She did not know what Ziyue
was up to, but she still smilingly nodded. “Yes, I did. Jingshu told me it was called Beef. A fitting name
indeed.”
“Sure indeed. It’s adorable, but it’s very stubborn and naughty as well. If your dog is naughty, just
discipline it a few more times and that’ll do the trick. It’s no biggie.”
While Su Ziyue was talking, she turned her head to catch a glimpse of Meng, as if she was implying
something else. Gu Hanyan’s expression had slightly changed as well.
“You…” Meng obviously knew that Su Ziyue was actually insinuating that she was the naughty dog.
Nheless, she did not finish her sentence.
Si Ziyue knew that she was acting on impulse. After all, Gu Hanyan had saved her, so she still had to
take Gu Hanyan’s pride into consideration regardless.
However, Meng’s words became more and more intemperate. Nevertheless, Gu Hanyan did not stop
her. Instead, she only asked Su Ziyue to not take it to heart.
That couldn’t be done, for she was being pampered by Qin Muchen, so she had a bad temper as well.
It would be a surprise if she did not mind that.
“Have your dinner first. After you’re finished, take a good rest.” Su Ziyue pushed the dishes toward her.
After pondering for a moment, she lifted her gaze and looked at Gu Hanyan with sincerity. “Thank you
for what you did.”
Although she found it quite hard to believe that Gu Hanyan would save her, it remained a fact that Gu
Hanyan had done so in the end.
Gu Hanyan only let out a chuckle and did not say anything else.
At this moment, Su Ziyue’s phone rang.
After taking her phone out, she realized that it was Qin Muchen who was calling her.
She normally got off from work at five. She had been working overtime for the past two days, so she
had been going homete. That was why he only called her after he was done cooking.
After all these that had happened on this day, she had forgotten to give Qin Muchen a call.
“Excuse me. I have to take this.” She lifted her head and nced at Gu Hanyan before stepping out to
answer the call.
She then answered the call when she was outside of the ward. “Hello.”
Su Ziyue was holding her phone on one hand while touching her face with the other. It was only with
that touch did she realize that her face was swollen; she had been so busy that she didn’t realize that
her face had be so puffy due to the p.
“Have you gotten off from work? I cooked your favorite dish.”
Qin Muchen’s voice that came from the other end of the call sounded attractive as usual. It had an
electrifying effect on her, for it sounded incredibly maic and sexy to her ears.
Leaning against the wall while listening to his voice, Su Ziyue’s mind suddenly calmed down. Then, she
slowly told him about everything that had happened.
In the end, before she even finished talking, the call ended.
Su Ziyue said ‘hello’ a few more times, but only silence answered her.
She frustratedly leaned against the wall for a few moments. She knew that Qin Muchen must be on his
way here, so she turned around and returned to the ward.
Meanwhile, the moment Su Ziyue stepped out of the ward, Gu Hanyan said in a cold voice, “Meng.”
“What is it, Hanyan?” Meng quickly walked up to her.
“You’ve gone overboard.” Gu Hanyan slowly sat herself up and had put on a cold expression. “This is
my own matter. You don’t have to intervene.”
Hearing this, Meng’s expression also slightly changed. Then, she let out a snort. “Don’t forget who the
person who has helped you to aplish everything that you have today is. Don’t you do anything that
will disappoint my boss.”
Gu Hanyan’s expression instantly changed at the mention of her boss. Her already awful look turned
even more miserable in an instant.
Then, Su Ziyue happened to push the door and came in.
Looking at the both of them, their expressions seemed normal, but she could feel that something was
wrong with the atmosphere.
“Quick, have your dinner.”
Su Ziyue walked up to the bed and sat down. She noticed that the food in front of her was still
untouched.
Gu Hanyan did not utter a word as she began to have her dinner, but she did not eat much.
Su Ziyue did not really have an appetite, so she only had half a bowl of the porridge. On the other
hand, perhaps Gu Hanyan might have said something to Meng, as she did not cause any trouble for Su
Ziyue anymore.
After dinner, Su Ziyue was packing up the things when Qin Muchen came by.
He wasn’t wearing any sweater. He only had a thin, ck shirt on, while his hair was disheveled and he
was breathing heavily. It was apparent that he came in a hurry.
“Muchen.”
Su Ziyue turned her head when she heard Gu Hanyan’s surprised voice. That was when she saw Qin
Muchen.
Qin Muchen nced at Gu Hanyan before his gaze fell upon Su Ziyue. He looked at her from her toe to
head. When he finally saw her face, his expression turned sullen.
Su Ziyue put down the things which she was holding and looked at him smilingly. “You came.”
“What happened to your face? Who hit you?” Qin Muchen marched over with his brows drawn together.
He reached his hand out, wanting to touch her face, but seeing how swollen her face was, his hands
landed on her forehead to help her brush the messy hair in front of her forehead instead.
Seeing Qin Muchen focusing all his attention on Su Ziyue the moment he came in, Gu Hanyan pursed
her lips. “Sorry. Meng went overboard…”
Hearing Gu Hanyan’s voice, Qin Muchen turned toward her.
Su Ziyue had told him what happened over the phone. There was concern in his eyes as he looked at
Gu Hanyan. “How’s your injury?”
