Chapter 334
Su Ziyue nodded her head distractedly and said, “Uncle Xingyan, you should take care of your health
and have more rest.”
Feng Xingyan looked up at Su Ziyue with a surge of hidden emotions flickering in his eyes.
He left not too long after that. Then, Su Ziyue went on to deal with her work in her room albeit feeling ill
at ease.
Finally, it was time to clock off at work. Instead of heading straight back home, she asked An Xia out for
dinner. She first drove to Bai Jingshu’spany to pick An Xia up before they headed to the night
market together.
“It has been a long time since west visited the market. Surprisingly, it’s still as crowded as before.”
Excitedly, An Xia dragged Su Ziyue with her as they walked around the market.
While Su Ziyue followedckadaisically along with An Xia, her depressed mood lifted a little thanks to
her. Suddenly, An Xia turned around and asked her, “What would you like to have?” Without waiting for
Su Ziyue’s response, she went on answering herself, “What should I do? I just feel like having a little bit
of everything here.”
“Just do it then,” Su Ziyue suggested.
The two of them bought food from every stall along a food street and atst stopped by a small stall to
have some porridge. As soon as they found a seat and settled down, An Xia began prattling on about
Bai Jingshu’s shorings. Su Ziyue wouldugh with her when she reached the hrious parts of the
story.
At the same time, her phone had been vibrating in her bag all this while. As she couldn’t stand the
vibration any longer, she took out her phone and told An Xia, “This ce is rather noisy. I’ll go to the
other side to get this.”
An Xia waved at her, signaling her to go ahead and advised, “Make it quick. This area is quite
dangerous, so you’d better hold on to your phone tightly when you’re taking the call.”
“Okay, I got it. I’ll be back soon.”
While she was on the way to the area beside the stall, the inside of her palm had gone numb from the
vigorous vibration of her phone, which made her regret her decision of switching it to silent mode.
Then, she reached a quieter area and picked up the call. “What’s going on?” she asked.
Before her voice hadpletely trailed off, Qin Muchen’s furious roar came from the other end. “You’re
actually asking me that question? Su Ziyue, what time is it now? It has been three hours since the time
you got off work. Where have you been?”
Su Ziyue gave the middle of her brows a massage and said, “I went shopping with An Xia.”
“Why didn’t you call me to inform me of that?” Qin Muchen’s tone still carried a trace of fury.
After taking a sharp intake of breath, she snapped impatiently, “So, I guess you already know where I
am now. That’s it for now then.” With that, she straightaway hung up on him.
Just as she was about to keep her phone back in her bag, a person made a dash past her at the speed
of lightning. After that, she found her phone had gone missing. She was stunned for a second before
her mind started to register what just took ce. “My phone! Catch that thief!” she yelled.
Su Ziyue nodded her heed distrectedly end seid, “Uncle Xingyen, you should teke cere of your heelth
end heve more rest.”
Feng Xingyen looked up et Su Ziyue with e surge of hidden emotions flickering in his eyes.
He left not too long efter thet. Then, Su Ziyue went on to deel with her work in her room elbeit feeling ill

Su Ziyue nodded her heod distroctedly ond soid, “Uncle Xingyon, you should toke core of your heolth

Feng Xingyon looked up ot Su Ziyue with o surge of hidden emotions flickering in his eyes.
He left not too long ofter thot. Then, Su Ziyue went on to deol with her work in her room olbeit feeling ill

Finolly, it wos time to clock off ot work. Insteod of heoding stroight bock home, she osked An Xio out for

Su Ziyue gove the middle of her brows o mossoge ond soid, “I went shopping with An Xio.”
“Why didn’t you coll me to inform me of thot?” Qin Muchen’s tone still corried o troce of fury.
After toking o shorp intoke of breoth, she snopped impotiently, “So, I guess you olreody know where I

her mind storted to register whot just took ploce. “My phone! Cotch thot thief!” she yelled.
An Xia, who heard her voice from the stall, immediately sprinted over and asked, “What happened?”
“My phone was snatched by that guy!” Su Ziyue told her hastily before running after the thief. An Xia
had no choice but to follow behind her. By the time they ran toward the direction where the snatch thief
had fled, the person had long gone.
Feeling frustrated, Su Ziyuended a punch on amp post beside her. Then, she crouched down as
she ced both her hands on her knees while she caught her breath.
“It’s not too big a deal. All you need to do now is get a new sim card as soon as possible,” An Xia said
in an attempt to cheer her up.
Shaking her head, Su Ziyue dragged An Xia toward a barbeque stall next to them. “Boss, get us two
packs of beer!” she ordered.
“Ziyue, what are you doing? We have to work tomorrow…” Despite sitting down with some hesitation,
An Xia soon took up the menu and started ordering some food. The barbeque stall only served beer for
alcohol.
What she usually drank along with the meals she had together with Qin Muchen was exquisite wines
and liquors. Although she only drank a little, she was used to consuming alcohol of the best quality
after she started having them more frequently. Therefore, she found themon beer she was having
now tasted slightly awful. She was not in the mood to continue after taking just a few sips. After some
more eating and drinking with An Xia, she drove back home.
It was already eleven at night by the time she reached home. The inside of the mansion was brightly lit.
As soon as she stepped into the living room, she spotted Qin Muchen sitting on the sofa, watching
television.
She nced at him and found he was wearing a pajamas gray in color with his hair slightly moist. One
of his elbows was resting on the armrest of the sofa to support his head, while his other hand was
holding the remote control as he kept on changing the channels. Just staring at the television for
several seconds was enough to make her dizzy.
“I’m heading upstairs first,” she left that sentence in a nonchnt voice before making her way to the
stairs.
Just as she turned around, Qin Muchen’s indifferent voice came from behind. “Not only have you kept
your phone switched off, you came back sote after having drinks.”
Su Ziyue stopped in her tracks and turned back around to look at him. At the same time, Qin Muchen
happened to thrust away the remote control in his hand before he swung around to re at her with
anger and frustration lurking beneath his dark pupils. “Su Ziyue!”
“I’ve lost my phone. Also, I didn’te homete as it’s now only eleven at night. Besides, I just had
two sses of beer just now,” Su Ziyue rified in a level voice with a poker-faced expression.
Qin Muchen’s face went frozen when he asked, “You’ve lost your phone? How did that happen?”
Lookingposed, she answered him, “It was snatched by a thief after I took your call. Have I made
myself clear enough? I’ve got to go and take a shower first.” With that, she turned around and was
ready to head upstairs.
To her surprise, she was stopped by Qin Muchen who acted fast enough with his astute observation.
Then, he examined her face closely.
Su Ziyue had been in a foul mood in the first ce as she had no idea how to voice out the things and
questions on her mind. Therefore, she did not have a particrly good temper at the moment which
made her challenge him in a slightly provocative tone, “What are you looking at?”
“So long as you’re fine.” All of a sudden, the tension in Qin Muchen’s face eased up as he loosened his
hold on her and said, “Go ahead and take a shower.”
Su Ziyue, who was stunned slightly by his reaction, ignored him and headed straight upstairs.
Inside the bathroom, she stood motionless below the shower head for a long time. Qin Li and Qin
Muchen. Su Yizi and Su Ziyue. Were things fated to be in this way? What exactly did Qin Muchen want
to achieve? How should she confront him about the matter?
She spent a long time contemting the issue in the bathroom until she heard Qin Muchen’s slightly
anxious voice. “Su Ziyue, get it done faster ande out.”
“I still need more time!” She had yet toe up with a way to broach the subject with him.
Suddenly, he had an angry outburst and roared, “I need to use the toilet!”
After hearing what he said, she had no choice but to get dressed and walk out of the bathroom. The
moment she opened the door, she saw him standing nearby. She turned sideways and walked toward
the other side to let him in. “You may use the toilet now.”
Gazing at her intently, Qin Muchen heaved out a sigh which was hardly noticeable after some time and
prompted, “What’s going on? Please tell me if you’re having any trouble. Don’t bottle it up and keep the
problem to yourself.” While he was talking, he moved his hands to caress her hair as the expression on
his face became milder.
Su Ziyue, who was stupefied for a moment, took a step back to dodge his hand and rounded him to
walk toward the bed. When she was lying on the bed, she noticed him still staring at her. She pulled the
nket over herself and said with her eyes shut, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to sleep now, so
please don’t disturb me.”
Qin Muchen stood still by the door to the bathroom with his eyes losing some of their brilliance.
