Chapter 152


    Su Ziyue was dazed when she heard him. “I…” Where am I going? Qin Muchen must have gone back


    home now. Do I have to go back home too? Where else can I go if I don’t go home? She felt sad and


    awful when she thought of how Qin Muchen treated her earlier. Fine, I’ll just go back. It was my fault


    anyway. I should exin everything to him.


    Nan Chuan turned quietly and sneaked a nce at Su Ziyue. He then turned to look at the road ahead


    of him in silence again when he noticed the panicked and worried expression on her face. After


    pondering for a while, he still asked her, “Yesterday was the boss’s birthday. How did you guys


    celebrate it?”


    “Yesterday was Qin Muchen’s birthday?” Su Ziyue turned and looked at Nan Chuan immediately. A


    shocked and surprised look shed through her eyes. “But he didn’t say anything…” He just asked her


    to go home earlier, but he didn’t mention the purpose. It turned out that it was his birthday, which was


    no wonder why he specially reminded her several times the previous morning.


    The feelings of distress and sadness within Su Ziyue faded away a little, but she still felt something was


    off. How could he be so angry if it was just because she didn’t go home on time and didn’t answer his


    call? Besides, he just called her oncest night. This wasn’t something he would usually do at all.

    Su Ziyue went back to Cloud Bay Hilltop Vi, her mind loaded with questions and puzzles.


    “Thank you.” Su Ziyue opened the door and got out of the car before she thanked Nan Chuan.


    Nan Chuan noticed that Su Ziyue had gotten out of the car barefooted while holding her high heels.


    One of her feet had be swollen. Her slightly reddened foot began to turn pale when it came into


    contact with cold air. Nan Chuan couldn’t stand the sight of her miserable condition. So, he said,


    “You’re wee, Mrs. Qin. It’s what I should do anyway. Since Mr. Qin pays me handsomely, you can


    boss me around as much as you like.”


    He grinned as he spoke while getting out of the car and walked beside Su Ziyue. “Let me help you walk


    inside.”


    “Alright then, sorry for the trouble.” Su Ziyue’s foot was rather painful. So, she didn’t reject Nan Chuan’s


    offer upon hearing his words.


    Nan Chuan was actually thinking about carrying her straight into the house, but he thought it wasn’t


    very appropriate doing that. So, he held out his arm courteously and allowed Su Ziyue to hold onto it.


    Then, both of them walked inside slowly.


    Just as the both of them reached the main entrance, Nan Chuan’s cell phone rang. Su Ziyue stopped


    and looked at him. After he pulled out his cell phone and saw the name shown on the screen, he


    answered the call calmly. At the window on the second floor, Qin Muchen appeared grim while holding


    his cell phone. His voice was icy cold. “You can go back now.”


    The next moment, the call was disconnected. Hearing the disconnect toneing from the other side


    of the phone, Nan Chuan paused for a while. His face became serious immediately. “I got it. I’ll go there


    at once.” As he finished speaking, he put his cell phone away. He turned and looked at Su Ziyue


    seriously. “Mrs. Qin, you better go inside yourself. There’s an emergency over there at the Lumiere


    Jade House. I need to go over there now.”


    Noticing the serious expression on his face, Su Ziyue let go of his arm. “Just go then…”


    Nan Chuan nodded at her before he ced his palm over his chest and left. He was an honest


    gentleman. When he was overseas back then, lots of socialites from wealthy families tried to pursue


    him. But now, he was forced to tell lies against his moral conscience over and over again because of


    his boss. It wasn’t easy to survive, but it was even more difficult working under Qin Muchen.


    While Nan Chuan just left, Qin Muchen walked out from the house. He stood by the doorway and


    looked in Su Ziyue’s direction with a cold expression on his face. His dark eyes appeared unemotional.


    Su Ziyue had a feeling that someone was looking at her. So, she raised her head immediately and met


    Qin Muchen’s gaze. She called out to him, “Qin Muchen.”


    A miserable look shed quickly through Qin Muchen’s eyes. It disappeared so fast that Su Ziyue didn’t


    notice it. She just saw the icy unemotional look in Qin Muchen’s eyes.


    Noticing he was about to turn around and go inside the house, Su Ziyue involuntarily sped up her


    steps. “Qin Muchen, stop right there! I can exin! I had a car identst night, that’s why I didn’t


    come back. I bumped into Gong Zeyang this morning when I got out of the hospital. Nothing happened


    between us…”


    Su Ziyue was so anxious trying to exin everything while walking toward him that she forgot she had


    sprained her ankle. When she almost fell down again, a strong and firm arm held her waist. She fell


    into that familiar embrace again. Sniffing the familiar smell of shower gel from his body, she guessed he


    already had a shower. After being in a daze for a second, she held out her arm and wrapped it around


    Qin Muchen’s waist. She knew he wouldn’t ignore herpletely.


    Feeling her soft and thin arms around his waist, Qin Muchen froze for a moment. When he lowered his


    head and saw the pleading look in her eyes, he simply couldn’t bring himself to say the things which he


    nned to say. He bent down slightly and carried Su Ziyue in his arms before walking into the room.


    He could treat anyone cold-heartedly, except her.


    …


    Su Ziyue was thrown onto the bed by Qin Muchen. When she sat up, she saw Qin Muchen going out of


    the bedroom while angrily mming the door behind him. She opened her mouth, wanting to call out


    his name, but she couldn’t. She thought he was no longer angry with her since he was willing to carry


    her, so she couldn’t believe that he was still mad at her. Hmph! You think you’re the only one who can


    be angry? I can too.


    Su Ziyue rose grudgingly and went to shower in the bathroom. After showering, she changed into her


    pajamas andy down on the bed to take a nap. Last night, she had been waiting for Qin Muchen’s call


    for the whole night. So, she didn’t sleep well at all. Perhaps it was because of the familiar scent on her


    nket, which calmed her down and made her feel rxed, so Su Ziyue fell asleep soon.


    After half an hour, the bedroom door was opened and Qin Muchen walked in from outside. Staring at


    the girl whoy quietly on the bed, Qin Muchen stood at the doorway in a daze. After a while, he


    walked toward Su Ziyue with a first aid kit in his hands.


    After cing the first aid kit on the table beside the bed, Qin Muchen lowered his eyes and


    contemted Su Ziyue. There were obvious dark circles around her eyes. Apparently, she didn’t sleep


    well. She had a car ident? She’s fine since she managed to follow me to the veterinary hospital and


    followed me out of there as well.


    Qin Muchen took a bottle of medicine and walked to the end of the bed. He flipped a corner of the


    nket to reveal her swollen ankle. He furrowed his dark eyebrows into a frown as he sprayed some


    medicine on her ankle. Perhaps it was because of the icy liquid medicine, Su Ziyue retracted her leg


    slightly.


    Qin Muchen sat down. He held her ankle with one hand while spraying more medicine on her ankle


    with the bottle of medicine he held in his other hand. Then, he massaged her ankle gently.


    Su Ziyue was soundly asleep. She dreamed that she went swimming in a river all by herself. When she


    was about to climb onto the riverbank, a ghost in the river caught her leg. She became so scared that


    she kept retracting her leg with all her might. As a result, the ghost yanked her leg harder.


    “Ah! Let go of my leg!” Su Ziyue woke up with a panicked shriek. She only realized she was in her own


    bedroom after waking up. Something isn’t right. My leg…


    She tried withdrawing her leg, but she noticed that she couldn’t move it. She tossed around and sat up


    on the bed, then she noticed that Qin Muchen, who sat on the end of the bed, was staring at her with


    his dark and gloomy face.


    Su Ziyue blinked. She flipped the nket off and stared at his hand on her ankle. She asked him with a


    puzzled look on her face. “What are you doing holding my leg?”


    Qin Muchen’s lips curved into a sneer. “I’ll let go now.”


    Su Ziyue only realized that the leg he was grabbing was the one with the sprained ankle. She said


    immediately, “No, don’t, you…”
