Chapter 240


    “Do you think that you will still have to queue up after Mr. Qin called me?” Lu Shichu raised his


    eyebrows.


    “That’s even worse. I’m just having a minor difort and I’ll be fine even if I don’t go for an


    examination. Other people are having more serious illnesses than me, so it would be very


    inconsiderate to cut the queue.”


    “…Alright.” Lu Shichu couldn’t find a reason to refute her.


    After a brief pause, Lu Shichu asked, “Do you want to go home now or have a stroll? I have some time


    now. If you’re not in a rush, I’ll have lunch with you before sending you back.”


    Lu Shichu was wearing a doctor’s coat and he was standing tall, which made him look indescribably


    handsome and elegant.


    It seemed like he had always been sensible and considerate ever since he was young. Plus, he was as


    thoughtful as Qin Muchen.


    Qin Muchen crossed her mind again.


    Su Ziyue pulled her cor and tapped her toe twice. “I can go home on my own.”


    Lu Shichu didn’t bother to persuade her and just put his hand on her back and pushed her forward. At


    the same time, he said, “I’m not busy today.”


    When both of them walked out of the hospital, they went to the pharmacy across the road to buy some


    medicine.


    After packing the medicine, Lu Shichu frowned while looking at Su Ziyue.


    Then, he gently knocked on her head while softly scolding her, “You should change your bad habit of


    eating spicy and cold food.”


    “Alright, I got it.” Su Ziyue rubbed her head.


    However, Lu Shichu looked sullen. “Of course you know. But you just won’t change it!”


    “I’ll change it...”


    Su Ziyue smiled in an ingratiating manner, causing Lu Shichu to feel helpless. It was somewhat his


    instinct to care for her and spoil her.


    Ever since they were children, she had always been like his little sister, and she still was now. However,


    it seemed like she would only ever be his little sister.


    Su Ziyue didn’t rush to go home. Instead, she stayed back to have lunch with Lu Shichu.


    During the meal, she received a call from Qin Muchen.


    “Are you home?” Qin Muchen sounded like he was at a ce that was spacious. Su Ziyue could hear


    the hollowness and even an echo.


    “No,” Su Ziyue indolently answered while absent-mindedly swirling her drink with her other hand.


    Sitting across her, Lu Shichu was deboning the fish. When he raised his head and noticed the unusual


    look on her face, he figured out who the caller was after pondering for a second.


    He didn’t speak and just quietly ced the deboned fish into Su Ziyue’s bowl.


    Su Ziyue mouthed her thanks.


    The next second, Qin Muchen asked sternly on the other end of the phone, “Are you still with Lu


    Shichu?”


    Sensing that he was subtly interrogating her, Su Ziyue suddenly tightened her grip on the ss that


    she was swirling.


    At the same time, a me of rage surged, causing her to be rude. “Yes. Why? We’re having lunch. If


    you have anything to say, please go on. Otherwise, I’ll hang up now.”


    “You…” Qin Muchen suddenly stopped speaking after uttering just one word, and there was only


    silence after that.


    Su Ziyue looked perplexed. “Hello? What’s wrong?”


    However, Qin Muchen just kept quiet for a long time.


    Pursing her lips, Su Ziyue felt worried. Could it be that something had happened?


    Right at that moment, Qin Muchen’s voice came from the phone again. “Just go home after you finish


    eating. I still have matters to attend to, so let’s end the call now.” Click.


    After he said that, he hung up the call without giving Su Ziyue a chance to speak.


    After staring at the phone for a few seconds, Su Ziyue vented her anger by mming the phone onto


    the dining table.


    Lu Shichu seemed to be unaware of her outburst and just said, “Let’s eat.”


    “Alright.” Feeling grateful for Lu Shichu’s consideration, Su Ziyue bowed her head and began eating.


    However, once she swallowed the fish, her stomach started to misbehave and churn.


    Feeling nauseous again, she gagged.


    “I’m sorry… Mm…”


    Su Ziyue only managed to say those words before getting up and dashing to the washroom.


    Bending over the basin and retching for some time, she still couldn’t vomit anything out.


    After calming down while supporting herself with the basin, she finally felt better.


    She would never allow herself to eat so many ice-creams again in the future even if she was beaten to


    death.


    When she left the washroom and returned to her table, she met Lu Shichu’s concerned gaze.


    Su Ziyue smiled at him. “I’m fine…”


    Lu Shichu had put down his chopsticks and he looked stern yet concerned. “You have toe with me


    now to have an examination.”


    “It’s alright.” Su Ziyue shook her head. “The steamed fish was too fishy.”


    While saying, she reached for the other dishes and felt fine even after she ate them.


    Seeing that she was enjoying the other dishes, Lu Shichu finally looked relieved.


    Since she refused to go for an examination, he wouldn’t force her to.


    After lunch, Lu Shichu suggested sending Su Ziyue back home but she rejected.


    “I know you must be very busy, so you should go back earlier. I’m not a child anyway. I have arms and


    legs so I can go home myself.”


    While saying, a taxi stopped beside Su Ziyue just at the right time. Once the previous passenger got


    down the taxi, she immediately got into it.


    Then, she wound down the window and waved at Lu Shichu. “Shichu, go back to work. I’ll go home


    now.”


    Lu Shichu looked helpless.


    When Su Ziyue returned to the empty house, she roamed up and down the house. After ying with


    Beef for a while, she hugged it and snuggled up on the sofa to watch the television.


    Time passed by but neither did Qin Muchen call nor return home.


    Su Ziyue hesitated for a long time and finally took the phone to call Qin Muchen.


    However, before the call was answered, Su Ziyue quickly ended it because she felt that messaging him


    would be better.


    “Are youing home for dinner? If you’re noting home, I’ll just prepare my own dinner.”


    She sounded like she was eager for him toe home. Su Ziyue snorted and deleted that message.


    Then, she changed it to another message, ‘Will you be back before dinner? Otherwise, I shall order for


    food delivery earlier.’


    That tone seemed fine and she didn’t sound eager for him toe home at all.


    After sending that message, Su Ziyue started to be like a cat on hot bricks while waiting for his reply.


    While absent-mindedly switching the channels, she came across an entertainment channel where she


    heard ‘Gu Hanyan’ being mentioned, causing her to subconsciously stop changing channels.


    “Today, the international celebrity, Gu Hanyan, and the current person in power of an overseas noble


    family, had a meal at Lumiere Jade House…”


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    A few photos were shown after that and it was obviously Gu Hanyan.


    She was holding a man’s arm and facing him, looking gentle while she spoke to him. At the same time,


    she was walking into Lumiere Jade House and her temperament and stance showed that she


    respected him.


    Judging from that man’s back, he seemed old…


    Because of Gu Hanyan’s fame, the reporter borated on the story for more than ten minutes even


    though only a few photos were taken.


    Su Ziyue turned on her phone and searched the inte. Within seconds, she had found those photos


    but Qin Muchen wasn’t in them.


    But she was sure that Qin Muchen only left after answering Gu Hanyan’s call…
