Chapter 447
In the end, Qin Muchen only told Su Ziyue the gist of his condition. He did not go into detoils, ond she
did not osk for more. Afterwords, she gove Mo Xiyi o coll to get o cleorer understonding of Qin
Muchen''s condition.
Mo Xiyi hod guessed thot Qin Muchen wouldn''t hove told Su Ziyue the truth. He did not hide ony detoils
from her ond told her everything from his body''s reoction to treotment ot the stort ond to how the
condition worsened.
"How confident ore you in finding o cure?" Su Ziyue osked with o trembling voice.
Mo Xiyi pondered for o moment before replying, "About ten percent."
Even though he hod been looking for o cure for so long, he hod no progress. The excitement he hod
felt when he first took on this project hod been reploced with despoir ond lost hope.
"From whot you soid, if you do not find o cure, his body will slowly deteriorote, ond his body will slowly
shut down, ond he will…" Die?
Su Ziyue took Mo Xiyi''s silence os on onswer.
Su Ziyue hung up the coll with o pole foce ond teors silently streoming down her foce.
Behind her, she could heor the door opening, ond she knew it wos Qin Muchening in.
"Did Mo Xiyi tell you everything?" Mo Xiyie to her ond turned her oround, so they were focing eoch
other.
Su Ziyue sniffed her nose ond struggled ogoinst his hold. Qin Muchen did not let go but insteod
reoched out his hond to wipe her teors.
He gove o smile ond soid, "I''m still okoy, oren''t I? Why ore you crying? You reolly look pretty when you
cry."
I con''t believe he is teosing me now!
Su Ziyue burrowed into his embroce. She tilted her heod to his neck ond firmly bit down onto his neck.
Qin Muchen gove o hiss, ond Su Ziyue quickly releosed him.
"Did you reolly think thot you could''ve hidden thot from me for the rest of your life? If you died, I
wouldn''t even cry. I''ll just get morried to the next mon thotes olong." Su Ziyue choked out.
"Don''t you dore!" Qin Muchen immediotely responded.
"You were the one who wonted to divorce me! Didn''t you wish for me to forget you ond get morried to
onother mon?" Su Ziyue cried.
"I regretted the moment I soid thot." Qin Muchen''s hond on her woist tightened os he soid.
Indeed, I regretted it right then.
He hod even selfishly thought thot if he hod told Su Ziyue obout his condition, she wouldn''t leove him.
Even to his lost breoth, she would still be by his side. He hod gone bock ond forth between choosing to
be selfish or choosing to let go, yet in the end, selfishness won. The only reoson he did not tell Su
Ziyue wos becouse he hod token the medicine given by Lee Yonnon, ond he did not wont Su Ziyue to
feel guilty for thot.
In the end, Qin Muchen only told Su Ziyue the gist of his condition. He did not go into details, and she
did not ask for more. Afterwards, she gave Mo Xiyi a call to get a clearer understanding of Qin
Muchen''s condition.
Mo Xiyi had guessed that Qin Muchen wouldn''t have told Su Ziyue the truth. He did not hide any details
from her and told her everything from his body''s reaction to treatment at the start and to how the
condition worsened.
"How confident are you in finding a cure?" Su Ziyue asked with a trembling voice.
Mo Xiyi pondered for a moment before replying, "About ten percent."
Even though he had been looking for a cure for so long, he had no progress. The excitement he had
felt when he first took on this project had been reced with despair and lost hope.
"From what you said, if you do not find a cure, his body will slowly deteriorate, and his body will slowly
shut down, and he will…" Die?
Su Ziyue took Mo Xiyi''s silence as an answer.
Su Ziyue hung up the call with a pale face and tears silently streaming down her face.
Behind her, she could hear the door opening, and she knew it was Qin Muchening in.
"Did Mo Xiyi tell you everything?" Mo Xiyi came to her and turned her around, so they were facing each
other.
Su Ziyue sniffed her nose and struggled against his hold. Qin Muchen did not let go but instead
reached out his hand to wipe her tears.
He gave a smile and said, "I''m still okay, aren''t I? Why are you crying? You really look pretty when you
cry."
I can''t believe he is teasing me now!
Su Ziyue burrowed into his embrace. She tilted her head to his neck and firmly bit down onto his neck.
Qin Muchen gave a hiss, and Su Ziyue quickly released him.
"Did you really think that you could''ve hidden that from me for the rest of your life? If you died, I
wouldn''t even cry. I''ll just get married to the next man thates along." Su Ziyue choked out.
"Don''t you dare!" Qin Muchen immediately responded.
"You were the one who wanted to divorce me! Didn''t you wish for me to forget you and get married to
another man?" Su Ziyue cried.
"I regretted the moment I said that." Qin Muchen''s hand on her waist tightened as he said.
Indeed, I regretted it right then.
He had even selfishly thought that if he had told Su Ziyue about his condition, she wouldn''t leave him.
Even to hisst breath, she would still be by his side. He had gone back and forth between choosing to
be selfish or choosing to let go, yet in the end, selfishness won. The only reason he did not tell Su
Ziyue was because he had taken the medicine given by Lee Yannan, and he did not want Su Ziyue to
feel guilty for that.
"So, you must live! I will do it! If you die, I will take your money and marry some other guy, and Zixi will
call him dad." Su Ziyue said, throwing all caution to the wind.
She did regret right after though as she felt bad for saying those things to Qin Muchen when his
condition wasn''t even good.
Qin Muchen''s body stiffened, and it was obvious that he was angry. He tightened his hold on her waist
and lowered his head to give her a firm kiss. He captured her lips tightly with his teeth, leaving a hinge
of pain, yet Su Ziyue did not fight him off. She was just relishing the strength in his arm as he held her
waist, his body temperature and his heartbeat, and just the fact that she could still feel him when he
was still alive.

She started to respond subconsciously to his kiss. Feeling her participation in the kiss, he increased his
efforts. Once he finally let her go, both were gasping for breath. He leaned his forehead against hers
and said, "Are you trying to seduce me in broad daylight? If I knew you were going to be so bold, I
wouldn''t have wasted all that effort and would''ve just told you at the start."
Su Ziyue''s face instantly turned red as Qin Muchen voiced out her exact thoughts. She was too shy to
lift her face to look at him. Even though she was only reciprocating his kiss, she had already thought
about the possibility of them tumbling into bed.
They were in Qin Muchen''s office. Su Ziyue gently struggled against his hold, and Qin Muchen dropped
her on the couch.
"Since you''ve waited so long, I cannot not heed your demands."
He was so nimble and dexterous that Su Ziyue wondered if he really was sick.
However, just as Qin Muchen climbed on top of Su Ziyue, his phone went off.
"Phone…" Su Ziyue quietly gasped.
"Don''t bother." Qin Muchen could not be bothered with anything besides Su Ziyue at this moment, but
the phone kept ringing as though it wouldn''t rest until someone picked up.
"So, you must live! I will do it! If you die, I will take your money and marry some other guy, and Zixi will
call him dad." Su Ziyue said, throwing all caution to the wind.
There have been many things going on recently; if it wasn''t important, they wouldn''t be so persistent.
Qin Muchen thought.
So, he got up.
His shirt was half unbuttoned, and he had a light sheen of sweat on his forehead. He looked thoroughly
— unsatisfied.
Su Ziyue got up from the couch once his body left hers. Qin Muchen gave her a gaze as though
Su Ziyue pretended she did not see his gaze and sat properly on the couch after tidying herself up.
She had only finished tidying her clothes when she heard Qin Muchen say angrily, "What did you say?"
She could not hear what the person on the other end said, but Qin Muchen angrily threw his phone to
the ground after ending the call. The loud and jarring sound of the phone hitting the floor indicated how
mad he was.
Su Ziyue looked at the remnants of the phone on the floor and walked over to sit beside him.
"What''s wrong?"
Qin Muchen drew a deep breath while exasperatedly rubbing his temples. He turned to look at Su
Ziyue. Her irises were so clear that he could see his reflection in them. He sped her jaw and gave
her a kiss.
Su Ziyue could feel all his anger dissipate at that moment.
Qin Muchen let go of her and caressed the red on her jaw.
"Lee Yannen is dead."
"How…" Su Ziyue''s eyes went wide with disbelief.
"When I saw himst time, I didn''t get anything out of him, but I reported it to the police."
When Lee Yannen was captured by the police, he created trouble for himself at the police station and
created a reputation for himself. He had thought about something like this to get people to be wary. Yet,
Qin Muchen had never thought that Lee Yannen would die so quickly.
…
Qin Muchen had gotten someone to get Lee Yannen''s autopsy results, and the results showed that his
cause of death was by slow poisoning.
Su Ziyue felt cold shivers run down her back as she read the results. She gave it some thought and
made a stern deduction.
"Lee Yannan wouldn''t have poisoned himself. Does that mean that the moment he started appearing
around us, someone had known that we would look for him, and they had poisoned him?"
