Chapter 335
It was weird. Su Ziyue’s behavior today waspletely out of her character. It was abnormal not only
from the fact that she did not head straight back home after work, but also that she did not give him a
call to inform him of that. In the beginning, he did not overthink, merely assuming that she was just in a
foul mood because of some trouble in thepany. But judging from how things turned out at the
moment, it did not seem like that was the reason.
…
Su Ziyue didn’t enjoy a good slumber for the entire night as she only managed to sleep fitfully and she
woke up very early in the morning. But to her surprise, Qin Muchen got up even earlier than her. While
she was on her way downstairs after washing herself up, she could hear the sound of food being deep
fried in the paning from the kitchen. She nced in the direction of the kitchen and removed the
slippers she was wearing. Then, she walked barefoot to the foyer where she put on a pair of high heels
and left.
Just as Qin Muchen was cing a strip of bacon which he had just fried onto a te, he heard the
sound of a moving car from outside the mansion. The movement of his hands went frozen as his eyes
were tinged with ayer of frost in an instant. Has she left?
What was the point of avoiding him? After all, she still had toe back home at the end of the day.
…
Su Ziyue first went to register for another sim card while buying herself a new phone before heading to
work. Not long after she arrived at the office, Lu Shichu came to meet her. “Good morning.”
When Lu Shichu, who was wearing an immacte suit, appeared at the door to her room, Su Ziyue
was stunned for three seconds before she finally came to her senses. “What brings you here?” While
she was talking, she quickly rose to her feet and walked to the door to invite him in before the two of
them sat down on the sofa.
After settling down, Lu Shichu ced the carrier bag he was holding onto the coffee table and pushed
it toward her. “I brought you breakfast on my way here. I bet you haven’t had your breakfast yet,
considering you came here so early.”
Su Ziyue nced at the carrier bag and said with a smile, “Thanks.” At the moment, she had no
appetite for food. Even being in the same ce with Qin Muchen was torturous for her. There were
times where she almost couldn’t resist the urge to ask Qin Muchen who Qin Li was, and what his
rtionship was with her. However, she dared not do so in the end. It was because she knew once she
posed him those questions, the state of tranquility their rtionship was currently in would be
shattered. If they were going to dredge up details of what had happened in the past, she had no idea
what sort of torrid truth she might face. Therefore, the only thing she could do for the time being was
avoid facing it.
“You…” Seeing how dejected she looked, Lu Shichu wanted to say something but decided against it
just in time.
Maintaining the smile on her face, Su Ziyue said, “I’ve got work to do and I believe you have to go to
work too. Why don’t we have a chat next time when the both of us are free? I can’t ck off anymore
because as you know, Uncle Xingyan is around in the city recently. He’lle in here anytime.”
It wes weird. Su Ziyue’s behevior todey wespletely out of her cherecter. It wes ebnormel not only
from the fect thet she did not heed streight beck home efter work, but elso thet she did not give him e
cell to inform him of thet. In the beginning, he did not overthink, merely essuming thet she wes just in e
foul mood beceuse of some trouble in thepeny. But judging from how things turned out et the
moment, it did not seem like thet wes the reeson.
…
Su Ziyue didn’t enjoy e good slumber for the entire night es she only meneged to sleep fitfully end she
woke up very eerly in the morning. But to her surprise, Qin Muchen got up even eerlier then her. While
she wes on her wey downsteirs efter weshing herself up, she could heer the sound of food being deep

Just es Qin Muchen wes plecing e strip of becon which he hed just fried onto e plete, he heerd the

times where she elmost couldn’t resist the urge to esk Qin Muchen who Qin Li wes, end whet his
reletionship wes with her. However, she dered not do so in the end. It wes beceuse she knew once she

Just os Qin Muchen wos plocing o strip of bocon which he hod just fried onto o plote, he heord the

Su Ziyue first went to register for onother sim cord while buying herself o new phone before heoding to

Lu Shichu frowned slightly when he saw how hard Su Ziyue was trying to put on a happy face, but he
decided not to probe any further. After giving her an intent gaze, he told her, “Feel free to look for me
anytime if you have any problems that you can’t solve yourself.”

Su Ziyue could not concentrate well on her work after he left. She looked down at the cityscape from
twenty floors above, standing before the french window. The road was filled up with busy traffic and
pedestrians who hustled off in all directions. What should she do?
She fished out her phone and found that she had no missed calls; Qin Muchen did not call her. He had
always had a bad temper to begin with, and her behaviorst night was indeed unreasonable. Hence, it
waspletely normal that he just couldn’t be bothered to give her a call. However, things shouldn’t go
on like this forever.
After mulling it over, she sent a message to him, saying, ‘Let’s have lunch togetherter. I have
something to tell you.’ She felt relieved after sending out the text.
At that juncture, there came Li Qingluo’s voice from the outside. “Director Su, we’re having an
emergency meeting ten minutester.”
“I’ve got it,” she acknowledged. Immediately, she kept away her phone and turned around as she made
her way to the conference room.
…
Everyone at thepany had noticed that the president was in a bad mood right from the very
beginning of the day. Qin Muchen thrusted the proposal in his hands at the table and sneered, “I’m
surprised that you actually have the guts to submit such nonsense to me.”
The manager who was standing in front of him was careful not to breathe too loudly, let alone speak.
Qin Muchen was aware that he was throwing a tantrum unreasonably, but he just couldn’t help it. It was
all the fault of Su Ziyue, that little scoundrel! Frustratedly, he loosened the tie around his cor and
tossed the proposal at the manager. “Redo it!” he yelled.
The manager reacted as though he had just been granted an amnesty. Holding the proposal with him,
he quickly scurried out of Qin Muchen’s room in a sh. It had been a long time since the presidentst
threw a tantrum like this.
Qin Muchen shut his eyes and leaned back against his chair to take a break. At that moment, his
phone rang. He quickly opened his eyes and grabbed his phone hurriedly. When he saw ‘Nan Chuan’
appeared on the screen of his phone, a trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes. He then took his
own sweet time to pick up the call and asked Nan Chuan, “Have you found him?”
“Yes…”
“Get him here.” With that, he ended the call. Without him realizing, his fingers scrolled on the screen of
his phone and reached Su Ziyue’s contact details.
Looking at her number, he hesitated and thought whether he should ring her up. Although she was the
one who first behaved unreasonably due to a foul temper, he should try to cheer her up instead of
letting her be that way. Should he just give her a call since his fingers had already brought him to her
number on the contact list?
Just as he was about to dial, a notification of a new message suddenly sprung up on the screen. It was
from Su Ziyue. ‘Let’s have lunch togetherter. I have something to tell you.’
Looking at the content of her message, his brows couldn’t help but curl upward with joy. Was she finally
going to share her problems with him? But… Her tone sounded so grim… What exactly was the thing
she wanted to say? Although he couldn’t figure that out for the time being, he still looked happier than
before now that he received her message.
cing his phone down on the table, he immediately made a call to his assistant through the internal
line and instructed her, “I’m holding a meeting ten minutester. Please make sure that everyone will
attend.” He thought it better to get everything done in the morning to ensure that he had time to meet
Su Ziyue at noon.
After finishing all the work at noon, Qin Muchen still had not received Su Ziyue’s call despite having
waited for a long time. Finally, he couldn’t resist but take the initiative to call her, while having a frosty
look on his face. His call was soon picked up. Looking slightly sullen, he asked, “You said you want to
have lunch with me at noon, but where are you now?”
“I’m taking a train now on my way to an impromptu business trip. We’ll talk after I make it back. Bye.”
Su Ziyue straightaway hung up on him after telling him everything at one go.
Watching furiously at his phone after he was being hung up by her, Qin Muchen lost it and smashed his
phone onto the floor. Then, he rose to his feet and left the room.
On the other side, Su Ziyue couldn’t help letting out a lengthy sigh of relief as she looked at her phone
after ending the call with Qin Muchen. In fact, she did not have to set off on the trip today. However,
she just did not feel like staying in Yunzhou City, as she needed some time to calm herself down.
Since there was no rush, she chose to take a train, which could slowly bring her to her destination while
giving her time to chill out. However, she had neglected to take into ount Qin Muchen’s personality.
After all, he was unlikely to allow her to hang around outside by herself, especially when he assumed
that she was in a fit of rage.
She spent most of that day on the train before she finally arrived at L City. Just as she settled down at
the hotel and came out from the bathroom after taking a shower, she spotted Qin Muchen, who was
sitting on the sofa carefreely making calls to arrange his work.
Much frightened by the sight of him, she identally dropped the towel on the floor and questioned,
“Why are you here?”
Qin Muchen happened to end a call at that juncture just in time to look up with his brows raised.
“What’s wrong? Am I not supposed to be here?”
