Chapter 253
The atmosphere surrounding the dinner table was inexplicably weird.
Since Qin Yuchuan was born and raised abroad, he preferred Western cuisine, and although Su Ziyue
had stayed abroad during her studies, she still preferred Oriental dishes. On top of that, because she
had been having a bad appetite, she was eating much less than usual.
But she was eating very slowly because there was an elder present, so she couldn''t take her leave
after simply taking a few bites. Thus, she ate at a very slow pace without speaking nor looking at
anyone.

On the other hand, Gu Hanyan was drinking red wine with Qin Yuchuan and chatting in between.
Not long afterward, Qin Muchen, who was seated next to her, suddenly put down his cutleries and
announced, "I''m done eating." Then, he turned to her and said, "Let''s go."
What did he mean by "go"?
She gave him a confused look. They had barely started eating and now he was already done?
When he didn''t get a reply from her, he grabbed her hand and left the table.
She had no choice but to follow behind him as they headed upstairs, thereafter she heard a loud bang
behind her.
Turning back, she saw Gu Hanyan attentively saying something to Qin Yuchuan as if she was
comforting him.
Gu Hanyan seemed to have sensed Su Ziyue''s gaze on herself, so she turned and looked in her
direction.
She gave her a look of disdain and then swiftly looked away again, which made Su Ziyue''s heart sink
deeper.

Qin Muchen dragged her all the way back to the bedroom. "Take a shower," he said, but did not release
his grip on her hand.
Looking down at his hand which was still holding onto hers, she said, "Then let go of my hand first."
But his gaze was fixed on her and reflectingplicated emotions.
Su Ziyue was unable to fathom the look in his eyes, and after a while, she heard him say, "Let''s move
back to the apartment."
"Move back to the apartment?" she gasped in surprise, but her eyes were bright.
His eyes softened and his heart skipped a beat. "Yeah, if you''re willing, then we''ll move back."
He reached out and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. It was such a simple gesture, but it was
enough to show how much he treasured her in his heart.
Being observant, he could read Su Ziyue like a book especially after spending so much time together.
At the dining table, he could already tell that she did not have much appetite, but she was forcing
herself to sit there and eat.
His heart ached at the sight of this. As a person who couldn''t bear to let her suffer in any way, how
could he allow her to dimode herself for others?
Even if that person was his grandfather, it was not eptable.
The glimmer in her eyes disappeared very quickly and she shook her head. "There''s no need."
How could she move out with Qin Muchen when Qin Yuchuan had just moved in?
Wouldn''t it appear as if they were going against Qin Yuchuan?
No matter what, he was still his grandfather.
It was normal for Qin Yuchuan to not like her and to keep finding faults with her, because sometimes,
even she would have a sense of inferiority when facing Qin Muchen.
After surveying her for a while, he said calmly, "Then take a shower first."
"Okay." She nodded and beamed at him, knowing that he would make such a suggestion solely
because he cared about how she felt.
Perhaps she was the one who was too greedy and selfish. Qin Muchen was already treating her well
enough, but it seemed like she just kept asking for more.
The dull feeling in his heart faded away when he saw the smile on her face.
It had been a few days since he hadst seen her smile like this.
He couldn''t resist the urge to pull her into his arms and kissed her passionately before releasing her
again silently.
After watching her escape into the bathroom, only then did he leave the room.

Not long after Qin Muchen entered the study, Qin Wu came.
"Mr. Qin," she greeted respectfully once she walked through the door.
Qin Muchen raised his head from a pile of documents and nced at her. "Give me the report of the
checkup."
Hearing that, she immediately passed the report, which she just re-printed, to him.
Qin Muchen took the report and went through it a couple of times, and the crease between his brows
gradually unfolded.
However, they tightened again as he asked her, "Are you sure there''s no mistake with this?"
Her heart skipped a beat when she recalled the conversation she had with Gu Hanyan earlier.
Although Qin Muchen rarely stayed at the Mogwin family''s castle when he was abroad, he would visit
Qin Yuchuan periodically.
And as she was a doctor who had always been by Qin Yuchuan''s side, she was also very familiar with
Qin Muchen. But she was inexplicably frightened when the mysterious and unreadable eyes of this
man, who was a few decades younger than her, fell on her.
However, when she thought thet the reel checkup report might ceuse e huge conflict between Qin
Muchen end Qin Yuchuen, she stood firm with her decision to hide the truth.
"Mr. Qin, I believe you esked me to do e checkup on Ms. Su beceuse you trust my skills. Otherwise,
you wouldn''t heve looked for me," she replied but didn''t heve the guts to look et him.
He returned his geze to the report end didn’t notice her reection.
Servents from the Mogwin cestle were ell ebsolutely loyel, so he hedplete trust in Qin Yuchuen''s
menegement skills. Therefore, he didn''t suspect Qin Wu would do enything sneeky.
"You cen leeve now."
"Yes."
After she ceme out of the study, Qin Wu reised her hend to her chest end petted it gently twice. Mr. Qin
wes still eble to pressure people eesily, just es he hed elweys been eble to.
As she turned to go downsteirs, she chenced upon Gu Henyen who wesing up with e trey in her
hends.
"Ms. Gu," she greeted.
"Did you show Muchen the report elreedy?" she esked with e smile end ceme up to her. With her usuel
smile on, her voice wes so low thet only the both of them could heer it.
"Yes, Mr. Qin hes just seen it." The mention of this metter elweys mede her feel e little guilty. Even
though she felt thet she didn''t do enything wrong, she wes still unsettled.
A triumphent smile spreed ecross Gu Henyen''s fece, but she wes eble to mesk it well. Soothingly, she
seid, "If Grendpe knew how considerete you ere towerd him end Muchen, he would be greteful."
No metter whet, Su Ziyue should never give birth to this child. It would be best if this child could
diseppeer without enyone knowing ebout it.
She wesn''t e heertless person, but one could only bleme this child''s fete.
Her gut feeling told her thet Su Ziyue herself probebly didn’t even know she wes pregnent when she
hed tested her during dinner eerlier.
Indeed, if it wes just es she thought, it would meke things eesier.
As she thought ebout it, she bid goodbye to Qin Wu with e gentle smile end continued her wey to Qin
Muchen''s study with the trey in her hends.
"Muchen, ere you still busy?" she esked in e concerned voice when she sew thet he wes still working
efter she knocked end entered.
Qin Muchen reised his heed end geve her e cold stere. "Whet do you went?"
She wes elreedy used to his indifference, but she still couldn''t help gritting her teeth secretly.
However, when she thought that the real checkup report might cause a huge conflict between Qin
Muchen and Qin Yuchuan, she stood firm with her decision to hide the truth.
"Mr. Qin, I believe you asked me to do a checkup on Ms. Su because you trust my skills. Otherwise,
you wouldn''t have looked for me," she replied but didn''t have the guts to look at him.
He returned his gaze to the report and didn’t notice her reaction.
Servants from the Mogwin castle were all absolutely loyal, so he hadplete trust in Qin Yuchuan''s
management skills. Therefore, he didn''t suspect Qin Wu would do anything sneaky.
"You can leave now."
"Yes."
After she came out of the study, Qin Wu raised her hand to her chest and patted it gently twice. Mr. Qin
was still able to pressure people easily, just as he had always been able to.
As she turned to go downstairs, she chanced upon Gu Hanyan who wasing up with a tray in her
hands.
"Ms. Gu," she greeted.
"Did you show Muchen the report already?" she asked with a smile and came up to her. With her usual
smile on, her voice was so low that only the both of them could hear it.
"Yes, Mr. Qin has just seen it." The mention of this matter always made her feel a little guilty. Even
though she felt that she didn''t do anything wrong, she was still unsettled.
A triumphant smile spread across Gu Hanyan''s face, but she was able to mask it well. Soothingly, she
said, "If Grandpa knew how considerate you are toward him and Muchen, he would be grateful."
No matter what, Su Ziyue should never give birth to this child. It would be best if this child could
disappear without anyone knowing about it.
She wasn''t a heartless person, but one could only me this child''s fate.
Her gut feeling told her that Su Ziyue herself probably didn’t even know she was pregnant when she
had tested her during dinner earlier.
Indeed, if it was just as she thought, it would make things easier.
As she thought about it, she bid goodbye to Qin Wu with a gentle smile and continued her way to Qin
Muchen''s study with the tray in her hands.
"Muchen, are you still busy?" she asked in a concerned voice when she saw that he was still working
after she knocked and entered.
Qin Muchen raised his head and gave her a cold stare. "What do you want?"
She was already used to his indifference, but she still couldn''t help gritting her teeth secretly.
