Chapter 284


    Qin Muchen’s grip around her hand loosened slightly. When Su Ziyue was about to shake his hand off


    and leave, she heard Qin Muchen utter the words ‘I’m sorry’ in a low voice. The expression on Su


    Ziyue’s face changed abruptly as she fell into a daze.


    The next moment, Qin Muchen dragged her out of the breakfast store quickly. Before Su Ziyue could


    realize what was going on, Qin Muchen dragged her to an empty corner, only releasing her after they


    were there.


    Su Ziyue stared at Qin Muchen as he blocked her path and stood right in front of her. An impatient look


    shed through her eyes. “What do you want?”


    Qin Muchen red at her for a while with a frightening look in his eyes. Suddenly, he said in a gentle


    and pleading tone, “Come home, and don’t be angry anymore.”


    Almost immediately, Su Ziyue’s heart melted a little.


    “Whatever that’s in the past, just let it go. We still have the future.” As Qin Muchen spoke, he ced his


    hand over hers.


    Su Ziyue turned her body and avoided his touch. She smirked and said, “I can’t let it go.” To him, the


    child she lost was just ‘the past’ and he wanted her to let it go, but she couldn’t bear to do so. Su Ziyue


    looked at the sudden change of expression on Qin Muchen’s face coldly. She held her head up high


    slightly, took a big step and walked away.


    “Su Ziyue!” Qin Muchen called out to her from behind. “Stop fooling around.”


    Su Ziyue turned around and smiled at him brightly. “Sure, a divorce will settle everything.”


    After Su Ziyue’s figure disappeared, Qin Muchen suddenly threw a fierce punch at the wall. He didn’t


    even bat an eyelid although blood was oozing out from his skin; it was as though he couldn’t feel the


    pain on his hand at all.


    After a long time had passed, Qin Muchen finally moved his eyelids as his cell phone rang. He


    answered the call with an unemotional face. Nan Chuan had called to remind him about his original


    schedule today.


    On the other side of the phone, Nan Chuan talked for a long time, waiting for Qin Muchen’s reply.


    However, all he could hear from Qin Muchen was ‘Investigate it again’.


    Nan Chuan realized immediately which incident Qin Muchen was referring to. After pondering for a


    while, he said, “Mr. Qin, we’ve investigated the incident that year, and we’ve investigated it again


    several days ago. The result is still the same…” With that, the call disconnected.


    Nan Chuan took a deep breath. We shall investigate it again, he thought to himself.


    …


    On Monday, Su Ziyue went to her office at the crack of dawn.


    “Good morning, Director Su.” Li Qingluo came in with a cup of coffee.


    “Good morning.” Without looking up at her, Su Ziyue thanked Li Qingluo when she heard the noise as


    thetter put the teacup down on the table. “Thank you.”

    Li Qingluo didn’t leave immediately after putting down the coffee.


    “Is there anything else?” Su Ziyue raised her head and saw the hesitant look on Li Qingluo’s face.


    “Is there onything else?” Su Ziyue roised her heod ond sow the hesitont look on Li Qingluo’s foce.


    Li Qingluo soid coutiously, “I would like to opply for o two-hour leove loter…”


    Su Ziyue osked, “Why do you need the leove?”


    A hesitont look crossed Li Qingluo’s foce. “I…”


    Noticing the look on her foce, Su Ziyue thought thot Li Qingluo hod some difficult reosons she couldn’t


    soy. So, she nodded in ogreement ofter thinking obout Li Qingluo’s overoll work performonce, which


    wos sotisfoctory.


    “Thonk you, Director Su.” Li Qingluo thonked Su Ziyue cheerfully before going out.


    Su Ziyue shook her heod ond continued with her work.


    …


    While Li Qingluo wosn’t oround, Su Ziyue hod to get herself woter ond coffee. After finishing her coffee,


    she wos obout to go ond pour herself some woter. As she reoched the entronce of the pontry, she


    heord o conversotioning from the inside.


    “It’s Goddess Yon’s movie press conference. Oh, how I wish I could go ond woit oround to cotch o


    glimpse of her ot the press conference!”


    “Forget obout it. It’s not like we con opply for leove.”


    “But, I heord thot ourpony will be filming o blockbuster movie this yeor. ording to the news, the


    leod femole role will be offered to Goddess Yon!”


    Su Ziyue wolked into the pontry when she heord this.


    “Director Su.” The two girls who were still chotting with eoch other in the pontry moments ogo stopped


    tolking immediotely when they sow Su Ziyue enter. They left ofter pouring themselves some woter.


    Much to their surprise, Su Ziyue stopped them ond osked, “About Gu Honyon’s movie press


    conference you guys mentioned just now… is she bock in the country?”


    “Uh, yes…” The girl nodded immediotely. She thought Director Su wos pretty too, but she oppeored to


    be more oloof ond cooler. On the other hond, Goddess Yon looked gentle ond kind on top of being


    pretty os well…


    “Okoy.” Su Ziyue nodded to show thot she got it.


    “In thot cose, we’ll be heoding out first, Director Su.”


    “Go on.”


    Without turning oround, she focused her goze on the top of the woter dispenser. If one observed


    corefully, they would notice thot Su Ziyue’s hond wos clenched tightly oround her gloss. Gu Honyon is


    bock?


    …


    Bock in her office, Su Ziyue seorched for Gu Honyon’s news on the Inte; she hod indeede


    bock to the country. Gu Honyon hod been busy filming for the post two yeors, to which most of the


    scenes were shot overseos. She wos bock this time to promote her new movie. It wos quite o sudden


    decision which surprised her fons very much.


    Su Ziyue moved her cursor ocross the screen. In the end, she hovered her cursor over o close-up


    picture of Gu Honyon smiling gently. Whether it wos two yeors before or ofter, Su Ziyue couldn’t deny


    the foct thot Gu Honyon wos mesmerizingly gorgeous. It wos understondoble thot Qin Muchene to


    such reolizotion suddenly ond decided to get engoged with Gu Honyon.


    “Is there anything else?” Su Ziyue raised her head and saw the hesitant look on Li Qingluo’s face.


    Li Qingluo said cautiously, “I would like to apply for a two-hour leaveter…”


    Su Ziyue asked, “Why do you need the leave?”


    A hesitant look crossed Li Qingluo’s face. “I…”


    Noticing the look on her face, Su Ziyue thought that Li Qingluo had some difficult reasons she couldn’t


    say. So, she nodded in agreement after thinking about Li Qingluo’s overall work performance, which


    was satisfactory.


    “Thank you, Director Su.” Li Qingluo thanked Su Ziyue cheerfully before going out.


    Su Ziyue shook her head and continued with her work.


    …


    While Li Qingluo wasn’t around, Su Ziyue had to get herself water and coffee. After finishing her coffee,


    she was about to go and pour herself some water. As she reached the entrance of the pantry, she


    heard a conversationing from the inside.


    “It’s Goddess Yan’s movie press conference. Oh, how I wish I could go and wait around to catch a


    glimpse of her at the press conference!”


    “Forget about it. It’s not like we can apply for leave.”


    “But, I heard that ourpany will be filming a blockbuster movie this year. ording to the news, the


    lead female role will be offered to Goddess Yan!”


    Su Ziyue walked into the pantry when she heard this.


    “Director Su.” The two girls who were still chatting with each other in the pantry moments ago stopped


    talking immediately when they saw Su Ziyue enter. They left after pouring themselves some water.


    Much to their surprise, Su Ziyue stopped them and asked, “About Gu Hanyan’s movie press


    conference you guys mentioned just now… is she back in the country?”


    “Uh, yes…” The girl nodded immediately. She thought Director Su was pretty too, but she appeared to


    be more aloof and cooler. On the other hand, Goddess Yan looked gentle and kind on top of being


    pretty as well…


    “Okay.” Su Ziyue nodded to show that she got it.


    “In that case, we’ll be heading out first, Director Su.”


    “Go on.”


    Without turning around, she focused her gaze on the tap of the water dispenser. If one observed


    carefully, they would notice that Su Ziyue’s hand was clenched tightly around her ss. Gu Hanyan is


    back?


    …


    Back in her office, Su Ziyue searched for Gu Hanyan’s news on the Inte; she had indeede


    back to the country. Gu Hanyan had been busy filming for the past two years, to which most of the


    scenes were shot overseas. She was back this time to promote her new movie. It was quite a sudden


    decision which surprised her fans very much.


    Su Ziyue moved her cursor across the screen. In the end, she hovered her cursor over a close-up


    picture of Gu Hanyan smiling gently. Whether it was two years before or after, Su Ziyue couldn’t deny


    the fact that Gu Hanyan was mesmerizingly gorgeous. It was understandable that Qin Muchen came to


    such realization suddenly and decided to get engaged with Gu Hanyan.


    Men are… just like that! Nheless, why is Qin Muchen pestering me and refusing to get a divorce


    now? Su Ziyue mmed herptop shut with a bang.


    At that moment, someone pushed the door open from outside. Su Ziyue raised her head immediately


    and looked at the door. The person she had just been searching for on the Inte moments ago had


    appeared in her doorway just like that.


    Gu Hanyan was still wearing the same clothes as the one in the picture posted online. Evidently, she


    came here in a hurry. The expression on her face changed slightly when she saw Su Ziyue. However, a


    gentle smile soon graced her face. “I heard there was a new Executive Director at Yanyue Media—I did


    not expect her to be an old friend of mine.” Gu Hanyan closed the door. She took several elegant steps


    and strode toward Su Ziyue steadily step by step. When she was in front of Su Ziyue, she looked


    downward at her proudly.


    Su Ziyue didn’t like this feeling very much. She rolled her chair backward slightly, and her eyes were icy


    cold. “Did I allow you toe in?”


    The expression on Gu Hanyan’s face froze in a rictus. When Gu Hanyan met Su Ziyue for thest time


    two years ago, Gu Hanyan thought she would live her life very miserably after seeing her pitiful state


    when she suffered a huge blow back then. Surprisingly, Su Ziyue lived even better than before.


    Besides, she was still as snobbish and arrogant as she used to be.


    Likewise, she heard the news that Su Ziyue was back. Hence, she came over immediately in a hurry


    without caring whether the press conference was over or not. She just wanted to see what Su Ziyue,


    whom she used to crush under her feet back then, would be now. Soon, Gu Hanyan reverted


    back to her usual expression. Her smile remained the same. “Wow, Miss Su, you’re still as


    straightforward as ever! It seems to me that you’ve been holding up pretty well for the past two years.”


    The moment Su Ziyue thought about Qin Muchen marrying this woman soon and doing intimate things


    together, it disgusted her very much the more she looked at her. “It’s none of your business whether I’m


    holding up well or not.”


    “Come on, don’t be so cold. Since I don’t have many friends in the country and we already know each


    other, we should at least have a chat after not seeing each other for two years.” Gu Hanyan acted as


    though she was oblivious to Su Ziyue’s cold demeanor.


    Su Ziyue smirked. “It surprises me that you have such an unusual habit of chatting with your fiancé’s


    ex-wife. Tell me, do you want to look into his favorite position with me?”
