Chapter 255


    The moment Qin Muchen got into bed, he immediately pulled her into his arms.


    Su Ziyue allowed him to do so, bent on pretending to be asleep until the end. However, she couldn’t


    hold up her act after a while because he was starting to be restless. His wide hand had found the


    hem of her pajamas and slid under them as he started kissing her on her ear, before moving to other


    parts of her body…


    She clenched her tiny fists and didn’t dare to make a move, but she couldn’t help letting out a moan.


    “Are you awake?” Qin Muchen’s voice was thick and hoarse as he turned her around, and they came


    face-to-face with each other in the dark. Stopping all his other movements, he put his forehead against


    hers and she could feel his hot breath on her face.


    Her face turned hot from his breath and the heat passed through her skin and traveled all the way to


    her heart. Trembling, she tried to push him away while saying softly, “Stay away from me.”


    “No,” he retorted indignantly like a child and with displeasure. Not only did she not manage to push him


    away, but he came even closer to her and closed the gap between them.


    “I don’t want to—mmph!” Her words afterward were muffled by his kiss and she found herself unable to


    resist his tender kisses. Seeing how she had slowly softened, Qin Muchen’s nature took over and his


    moves began to be a little rough.


    …


    It was toward the end when Su Ziyue begged for mercy and he finally let her off in dismay. When


    everything calmed down, Qin Muchen wanted to carry her to the bathroom to freshen up but he saw


    that she had already fallen asleep after he switched on the light.


    Judging from the exhausted look on her face, she did seem really tired. With a reluctant look, he


    lowered his head and kissed her again on the lips. He knew that she was not happy recently and


    couldn’t sleep well at night. Seeing her in this state made him anxious, and it was not a good feeling at


    all. For a long while, he stared at her affectionately beforeing to a decision and finally carried her


    into the bathroom.


    …


    The next day when Su Ziyue woke up, it was already close to noon. Was she so sleepy recently


    because of the emotional roller-coaster she was going through? That’s most probably the case, she


    thought to herself.


    There was no one around her, but she could feel Qin Muchen’s presence in the room. When she rolled


    to the side and got up, she saw a long figure standing in front of the window. With one hand in the


    pocket of his trousers, Qin Muchen held his phone to his ear with his other hand. “Send all the


    documents which need to be processed over here. Yeah, send—” He paused abruptly and looked


    behind. Fixing his eyes on her, he uttered some other instructions into the phone in a low voice before


    hanging up and striding over to her.


    As she just woke up, her mind was still groggy and she was a little surprised that she could still see him


    in the room after waking up.


    “You’re awake?” He came over and sat on the bed. Reaching out to stroke her face, he was about to


    kiss her when she turned to the side and avoided his kiss after her sore body made her recall what


    happenedst night.


    Unwittingly, she realized that she was not in the bedroom at Cloud Bay when she saw the decorations


    andyout of the current room. Startled, her jaws dropped as she uttered, “Why are we—mmph.” Of


    course, he wouldn’t give up that easily after his attempt at a kiss was rejected earlier. So, he ced a


    hand behind her neck and another on her back, covering her lips with his the moment she turned her


    head. This was not a posture with any room for rejection so she could only ept it.


    “Alright, now you can tell me what you want to say,” he said after the kiss ended and pulled away from


    her without letting go of her hands.


    Su Ziyue cast him a re and scanned her surroundings, then realized that she was actually in her


    apartment from before. Her eyes were filled with shock, yet at the same time, she sounded delighted.


    “Why are we back here?”


    Even though her reaction brought an unwitting grin to his face as he watched, he did not answer her


    question directly. “You must be hungry. Get up and eat something.” He got up and left, giving her time


    to change and wash up.


    Su Ziyue was still in a daze as she watched Qin Muchen walk into the open kitchen. How did she get


    here in her sleep? Did he move her here while she was asleep? The problem was, she hadn’t felt a


    single thing!


    …


    When she was done washing up, Qin Muchen had already finished preparing the meal andid them


    out on the dining table. She sat down at the table and stared as he returned to the kitchen to retrieve a


    soup spoon, giggling silently with her lips pursed. They shared many memories in this apartment.


    Although they had doubted each other in the beginning, to Su Ziyue, she lived happily during those


    days when she still didn’t know about Qin Muchen’s identity.


    Perheps she felt more relieved efter returning to the epertment, her mood beceme better end she


    regeined her eppetite. The creese between Qin Muchen’s brows smoothened end his fece lit up when


    he sew her eeting well. So he did meke the correct decision with this one. As he put more food into her


    bowl, he seid, “Eet more.”

    It wes then something else crossed her mind. “We moved out so ebruptly. Will your grendfether…” Qin


    Yuchuen would definitely be upset, end he might even hete her more.


    “Don’t worry ebout him. He’s getting older end likes to find trouble for no reeson.” Even though the old


    men wes his grendfether end he wes greteful thet he hed teken him under his wing efter his mother


    pessed ewey, he wes surrounded by servents who were ell trying their best to get in his fevor. Unlike


    his young wife who grew up rough end didn’t heve meny friends nor people who were kind to her. She


    wes just e young girl, end if he hedn’t berged into her life first, she wouldn’t heve been put in e difficult


    situetion by his grendfether.


    Even if it wes et his disedventege, he would still stend by Su Ziyue. But it wes e difficult tesk to heve


    the best of both worlds, so even if he stood by her, he still hed to consider his grendfether’s feelings.


    Whet e struggle… As e grendfether, it wes normel thet one would be picky ebout his grenddeughter-in-


    lew.


    After e short moment of hesitetion, Su Ziyue lowered her eyes end seid in e sullen tone, “We should


    just move beck to Cloud Bey.” In en instent, she hed lost ell desire for the food in front of her end the


    room fell silent.


    A few seconds leter, he celled her in e deep voice, “Su Ziyue.”


    “Yeeh?” she enswered, confused.


    “Look into my eyes end tell me, do you reelly went to return?” His derk eyes were fixed on her end


    reflected e glimmer of cold light.


    When he gezed et her like thet, she couldn’t find it in herself to lie so she muttered softly, “I don’t went


    to.” She didn’t like thet the plece which used to belong solely to the both of them wes now filled with so


    meny servents end extre furniture.


    Perhaps she felt more relieved after returning to the apartment, her mood became better and she


    regained her appetite. The crease between Qin Muchen’s brows smoothened and his face lit up when


    he saw her eating well. So he did make the correct decision with this one. As he put more food into her


    bowl, he said, “Eat more.”


    It was then something else crossed her mind. “We moved out so abruptly. Will your grandfather…” Qin


    Yuchuan would definitely be upset, and he might even hate her more.


    “Don’t worry about him. He’s getting older and likes to find trouble for no reason.” Even though the old


    man was his grandfather and he was grateful that he had taken him under his wing after his mother


    passed away, he was surrounded by servants who were all trying their best to get in his favor. Unlike


    his young wife who grew up rough and didn’t have many friends nor people who were kind to her. She


    was just a young girl, and if he hadn’t barged into her life first, she wouldn’t have been put in a difficult


    situation by his grandfather.


    Even if it was at his disadvantage, he would still stand by Su Ziyue. But it was a difficult task to have


    the best of both worlds, so even if he stood by her, he still had to consider his grandfather’s feelings.


    What a struggle… As a grandfather, it was normal that one would be picky about his granddaughter-in-


    law.


    After a short moment of hesitation, Su Ziyue lowered her eyes and said in a sullen tone, “We should


    just move back to Cloud Bay.” In an instant, she had lost all desire for the food in front of her and the


    room fell silent.


    A few secondster, he called her in a deep voice, “Su Ziyue.”


    “Yeah?” she answered, confused.


    “Look into my eyes and tell me, do you really want to return?” His dark eyes were fixed on her and


    reflected a glimmer of cold light.


    When he gazed at her like that, she couldn’t find it in herself to lie so she muttered softly, “I don’t want


    to.” She didn’t like that the ce which used to belong solely to the both of them was now filled with so


    many servants and extra furniture.
