Chapter 308
Qin Muchen retorted, “So, it’s true then, that you still hate me?”
Upon hearing that, Su Ziyue finally realized the reason Qin Muchen asked that question earlier was just to trick her
into admitting she still hated him.
Ever since she said those words to Qin Muchen at the Cloud Bay Villa, she never thought she would talk about these
with him in private again, not even when they were now in a helpless situation.
“So what? Whether I still hate you or not, what can you do about it? Everything is over now.” Although Su Ziyue
sounded like she had let things go, she couldn’t hide the resentment in her tone.
Qin Muchen almost gritted his teeth as he said, “No, it’s not over! I won’t allow you to forget about this either!”
“I’ve said everything I needed to say last time. I don’t want to say any harsher words to you. And Qin Muchen, the
fact that you would keep on pestering me again and again even though we’re over is not something you would
normally do! No matter what reason that is making you refuse to let me go after all this time, I beg of you to stop it,
alright?” Su Ziyue sounded like she was in pain.
Qin Muchen noticed the pain in her voice, but he didn’t want to force her either.
Qin Muchen sighed and he said in a helpless voice, “You’re still being unreasonable. Was it me who wouldn’t let go
of you, or was it you who wouldn’t let me go?”
Without waiting for Su Ziyue to say anything again, Qin Muchen grabbed her hand precisely and placed it over his
chest.
There was a hint of sorrow in his usually pleasant voice. “If you’re willing to walk out of here, I will never look at you
again, not to mention divorcing you.”
Through the thin shirt, Su Ziyue could feel Qin Muchen’s warm skin and his strong heartbeat.
Feeling as though getting scorched by his warmth, the panicked Su Ziyue wanted to retract her hand, but Qin
Muchen didn’t give her the chance. He pulled her into his embrace and wrapped his arms around her tightly.
“Su Ziyue, don’t be so heartless. Do you want to pretend the days we spent together before this didn’t exist too?”
He held her very tightly; his embrace was so tight that Su Ziyue felt he had almost broken her waist.
The thing which Su Ziyue didn’t want to hear from him the most was their past. Tears rolled down from her eyes the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmoment she heard his words.
However, she thought of her child. Her heart that had started to melt slightly became cold again gradually. “I’m no
match for you when it comes to being heartless.”
Since she couldn’t break free of Qin Muchen’s embrace, she stopped struggling to free herself all together.
Because of his words, her heart that had softened up gradually became stone cold again.
Even if she really could forgive Qin Muchen for everything he did, she couldn’t forget about the child.
Feeling the warm liquid around his neck, Qin Muchen trembled violently. In a panic, he comforted immediately, “I’ll
stop saying that. Don’t cry, don’t cry…”
Upon hearing his words, Su Ziyue cried even louder.
“You’re the most heartless person in the world. Gong Zeyang and I have always been innocent. Nothing happened
between us. If you really don’t believe me and think that I’m that kind of promiscuous woman, you shouldn’t have
begun a relationship with me in the first place!”
As she finished her words, she started to sob. Her tears dampened his shoulder.
Her words stung Qin Muchen, who felt as if an invisible hand had squeezed his heart tightly. It pained him very
much.
However, he was never a person who was very good with his words. He just held her tightly and explained, “It’s not
that I don’t believe you… I’m just jealous of him.”
He was jealous because Su Ziyue used to like Gong Zeyang. He was jealous because she had liked Gong Zeyang for
her entire youth. It wasn’t because he didn’t believe her; he was just angry.
Su Ziyue snorted coldly. “Stop kidding me. You’re richer than him, better-looking than him and even taller than him.
You’re better than him in every way. Why are you jealous of him?”
Qin Muchen was ecstatic. His voice trembled slightly as he said, “If I’m that good, then don’t divorce me, and come
back to me, okay? We can start all over again.”
We can start all over again. Such tempting words. She thought she could be cold-hearted enough to get a divorce
with Qin Muchen. But, when she was in his arms and listened to him saying they could start over again, his words
shook her resolve and she was in a great dilemma. Her reliance on Qin Muchen and reluctance to be separated
from him was far beyond her imagination.
Su Ziyue dared not open her mouth to say anything. She was afraid that she might say ‘okay’ as soon as she
opened her mouth.
Qin Muchen asked her again, “Okay?”
Su Ziyue had seen how cold and heartless he could be before. However, she never saw him say something in such
a cautious tone before, as if he had placed all his fortune on one last bet in a game.
She wasn’t a cold-hearted person. Her heart would melt in front of the man she loved too.
There was a moment when she suddenly felt no matter what had happened between them, she could forgive him
and she wouldn’t mind about everything at all.
Since he didn’t receive her reply after a long time, Qin Muchen still felt dejected even though he held her in his
arms.
He lowered his head and kissed her on her forehead. It was a yearning and cautious kiss. He kissed her forehead
repeatedly without moving the kiss elsewhere nor kissing her more passionately. He looked like a criminal waiting to
be trialed, who was about to face his final judgement.
After a long pause, Su Ziyue said quietly, “I’ll agree if you say you’re sorry.”
Qin Muchen was dazed for a moment before he said in a stupefied manner, “I’m sorry.”
“Okay,” Su Ziyue replied in a low voice. She didn’t sound happy at all.
She buried her face in Qin Muchen’s embrace and cried loudly and sadly. Baby, daddy says he’s sorry. Did you hear
that?
Because she was extremely nervous before this, Su Ziyue became rather exhausted now. She fell asleep after she
got tired from all her crying.
Not long after that, he heard someone talking up there.
“Are you sure it’s here?”
“Yes, it’s here!”
The next moment, the cover was opened and a ray of light shone into the pit. Coincidently, the light shone on him
and Su Ziyue.

They were Qin Muchen’s subordinates.
Su Ziyue didn’t fall asleep very soundly. So, she woke up now. As she raised her head in a daze, she saw the light
shining on them from above.
“Mr. Qin, Miss Su, we’ll pull both of you up now.”
Su Ziyue snapped out of her daze immediately when she heard that. She became more awake now.
“How did they come here?”
Qin Muchen pulled her from the floor. He said seriously, “Let’s go up first.”
After struggling for some time and spending much effort, Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue finally managed to climb up out
of the pit.
The sky was dark now. They raised their heads and saw millions of stars twinkling in the night sky.
Su Ziyue only had breakfast for the day. Since she didn’t have lunch and dinner, she was so hungry that she felt
slightly dizzy now.
Several subordinates stood beside them. They asked concernedly, “Mr. Qin, are you alright?”
“You guys could have come later.” Qin Muchen’s tone sounded acidic as he snorted coldly. He was alright and could
still endure the harsh conditions, but Su Ziyue couldn’t.
His subordinates lowered their heads. They couldn’t say anything to refute Qin Muchen.
Su Ziyue turned and saw that Lee Yannan was with them too. However, he looked very miserable. She was certain
that he was severely tortured by Qin Muchen’s subordinates.
She took a step back involuntarily.
Qin Muchen held out his hand and touched her head. He squatted down in front of her. “Get up and let’s go back.”
Su Ziyue refused his offer by saying, “I can walk by myself.”
Qin Muchen remained squatting on the ground without moving. Su Ziyue had no choice but to climb up his back.
Qin Muchen managed to walk steadily even though the road in the woods was bumpy.
Su Ziyue bit her lips as she turned her head carefully and placed her face close on his back. She could smell the
familiar scent from his body.
