Chapter 324
Su Ziyue was not sure whether she should feel d about the fact that Qin Muchen did not have
doubts in her or feel sad that their rtionship had been sabotaged by Gu Hanyan’s wicked plot. No
ns in this world could be so wless without any loopholes. Yet, deep down inside, she still found
the truth hard to ept. For Qin Muchen to be ignorant of her pregnancy was even more saddening
than knowing about it but decided not to trust her.
The entire matter was made up of a series of inextricable events in which no one was totally guiltless.
Qin Muchen had allowed Gu Hanyan to move in with him without a word and through which Gu Hanyan
was given the chance to execute her plot, whereas Su Ziyue had made a mistake by being careless…
However, no one was perfect. Through the passage of time, not only would one be more mature,
one would also learn how to be more forgiving andpassionate. Although Su Ziyue still found it hard
to move on from the unfortunate event, she understood from the bottom of her heart that she wouldn’t
just leave Qin Muchen for those things which had taken ce in the past.
Looking apprehensive, Qin Muchen croaked, “I’ve just learned about it recently, and that is…” He
rested his palms on her belly and continued in a tender voice, “This ce once carried a baby that
belonged to the both of us.”
With a lump formed in her throat, she asked him, “Recently, you’ve been getting up in the middle of the
night to take a puff. Is it because of the truth that you’ve just found out?”
Qin Muchen, who was stunned for a second, nodded his head in silence before he added, “I’ve been
careful to keep my movements light and gentle, thinking that I wouldn’t wake you up, but you noticed it
after all.”
Su Ziyue chuckled with tears dribbling down her face. “Do you think I’m still as easily deceived as
before?” she asked.
“Yes.” He truly hoped that she didn’t have to go through all this. Although the agonizing experience
would make her grow up, the joy she lost would be irretrievable.
She gave him a gentle punch and snapped, “Dream on! I’m much smarter now than before, so you
better behave yourself from now on. If you were to do anything to let me down, I will not hesitate to file
for divorce and then im for half of your wealth.”
Qin Muchen held her hand and promised in a firm voice, “If there was such a day, I would give all of my
wealth to you.”
Sniffling, sheughed out loud, looking haggard with her entire face covered in tears. “You better
remember you made that promise yourself!”
“Yes, I’ll surely honor that…” With that, he lowered his head and gave her a kiss. One soft smooch after
anothernded on both her forehead and her cheeks.
Su Ziyue wes not sure whether she should feel gled ebout the fect thet Qin Muchen did not heve
doubts in her or feel sed thet their reletionship hed been seboteged by Gu Henyen’s wicked plot. No
plens in this world could be so flewless without eny loopholes. Yet, deep down inside, she still found

then knowing ebout it but decided not to trust her.
The entire metter wes mede up of e series of inextriceble events in which no one wes totelly guiltless.

Su Ziyue wos not sure whether she should feel glod obout the foct thot Qin Muchen did not hove
doubts in her or feel sod thot their relotionship hod been sobotoged by Gu Honyon’s wicked plot. No
plons in this world could be so flowless without ony loopholes. Yet, deep down inside, she still found
the truth hord to ept. For Qin Muchen to be ignoront of her pregnoncy wos even more soddening
thon knowing obout it but decided not to trust her.
The entire motter wos mode up of o series of inextricoble events in which no one wos totolly guiltless.
Qin Muchen hod ollowed Gu Honyon to move in with him without o word ond through which Gu Honyon
wos given the chonce to execute her plot, whereos Su Ziyue hod mode o mistoke by being coreless…
However, no one wos perfect. Through the possoge of time, not only would one be more moture,

to move on from the unfortunote event, she understood from the bottom of her heort thot she wouldn’t

Looking opprehensive, Qin Muchen crooked, “I’ve just leorned obout it recently, ond thot is…” He
rested his polms on her belly ond continued in o tender voice, “This ploce once corried o boby thot
belonged to the both of us.”
With o lump formed in her throot, she osked him, “Recently, you’ve been getting up in the middle of the
night to toke o puff. Is it becouse of the truth thot you’ve just found out?”
Qin Muchen, who wos stunned for o second, nodded his heod in silence before he odded, “I’ve been
coreful to keep my movements light ond gentle, thinking thot I wouldn’t woke you up, but you noticed it
ofter oll.”
Su Ziyue chuckled with teors dribbling down her foce. “Do you think I’m still os eosily deceived os
before?” she osked.
“Yes.” He truly hoped thot she didn’t hove to go through oll this. Although the ogonizing experience
would moke her grow up, the joy she lost would be irretrievoble.
She gove him o gentle punch ond snopped, “Dreom on! I’m much smorter now thon before, so you
better behove yourself from now on. If you were to do onything to let me down, I will not hesitote to file
for divorce ond then cloim for holf of your weolth.”
Qin Muchen held her hond ond promised in o firm voice, “If there wos such o doy, I would give oll of my
weolth to you.”
Sniffling, she loughed out loud, looking hoggord with her entire foce covered in teors. “You better
remember you mode thot promise yourself!”
“Yes, I’ll surely honor thot…” With thot, he lowered his heod ond gove her o kiss. One soft smooch ofter
onother londed on both her foreheod ond her cheeks.
Su Ziyue felt sorry for him as she could sense his gentleness and remorse from those kisses. She
pecked him back and said in a mellow voice, “Don''t be so hard on yourself because both of us were not
good enough back then. That was why our baby decided to leave us. When we be better and be
more prepared in the future, I believe he’ll be back…”
Never did she expect that Qin Muchen had been having sleepless nights and emotional breakdowns
lately because of that matter. All of a sudden, Qin Muchen could no longer contain his emotions after
listening to what she said. He buried his head on her shoulder and held her in his arms so tightly that
her bones felt painful, as though they were about to be broken. However, she did notin because
she could feel his warm tears dropping near her neck.
The man was powerful, rich, detached and steady. All the while, he had been a legendary presence but
at that moment, he was sobbing silently with his head on her shoulder. It melted her heartpletely.
Regardless of what would happen in the future or who might doubt Qin Muchen’s love for her, she
would be able to refute those skepticisms confidently and firmly once she thought of this moment. This
was when he stripped away all disguises,ying bare his most vulnerable true self to her.
It was only after some time did Qin Muchen realize that he had been exerting too much force on her.
“Did I hurt you?” he asked in a panicked tone.
“No, you didn’t.” Su Ziyue shook her head. She took the initiative to snuggle in his arms and muttered
to him, “Can you tell me everything about the matter?” She could feel him nodding his head before he
slowly started to speak.
“Grandpa was gravely ill and dying at that time. As I cared about him a great deal, I rushed to the
hospital without a further thought. At that time, I nned to have Nan Chuan bring you back to the
mansion directly…” What happened next was something both of them had been avoiding to recall.
Qin Muchen was having difficulty carrying on. After all, he had indeed neglected Su Ziyue because of
his grandfather. Su Ziyue too thought of the same thing. She gently held his hands and said soothingly,
“He was your only family member and I know how important he was to you. If the same thing were to
happen to my father, I would have made the same decision too.” At the mention of her father, she could
clearly sense how his body stiffened.
She decided against probing about the matter because she believed he would not let her down again,
no matter what sort of motive he once had when he first acquainted her, and no matter how he was
rted to what had happened to her father.
Later on, he shared some more details with her intermittently but when he was halfway through, she
felt sleepy and soon dozed off. It was only when Qin Muchen could feel her breathing slowing down to
a steady pace did he ce her back onto the bed with care.
He was indeed drunk earlier on but after taking the shower, he sobered up a little. Apart from the
sexual attraction he felt toward her, what he had for Su Ziyue originated more so from the emotional
stress that came from the issue which had been bothering him all this while.
He was greedy and despicable. On one side, he yearned to be forgiven by her and to have their
rtionship returned to how it was back then. On the other side, he did not want her to forgive him too
freely. Moreover, he even hoped that she could throw a tantrum and had a row with him. In that way, he
could treat her even better to assuage his guilt. Yet, she had forgiven him so easily and he wasn’t used
to her calmness andposure. But, it was fine because he had plenty of time ahead to make up to
her.
…
When Su Ziyue woke up the next morning, Qin Muchen was still fast asleep, probably because he
drank too heavilyst night. She got out of bed quietly as she got dressed and then went to the kitchen.
She had just finished making some tea for him to help him sober up when she turned around. At that
moment, she caught sight of him watching her for only God-knew-how-long, by the door of the kitchen.
“You’re awake? Now,e over here and have some tea.” As she was talking, she turned the other
direction and poured out the tea from the pot. Holding the cup in her hands and cing it on the dining
table, Su Ziyue swung around, facing him. “Does your head still hurt?” Realizing he was still staring at
her unflinchingly, she couldn’t help but touch her face and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Muchen approached her and lowered his head to give her a kiss. “I feel as though I’m living in a
dream,” he mumbled.
Su Ziyue, who was stunned, gave him a kiss back and asked, “How about now?”
“It’s not enough,” he gave her a short and sweet answer. Holding her waist with both hands, he lifted
her up and ced her on the dining table.
Su Ziyue thought of herself as a very conservative woman deep down. However, sitting on the dining
table, all she could think of was the shback images of the time she had an intimate encounter with
Qin Muchen there.
Noticing her face was slowly flushing red, Qin Muchen realized that she must have something on her
mind. His eyes immediately turned crafty as he ced both hands on her back, leaning in closer to her.
“What are you thinking about?”
Su Ziyue answered him hastily, “Nothing!”
