Chapter 309
By the time they went back to the village, it was already ten o’clock in the evening.
Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen were having their dinner while sitting at the same table. They felt everything that had
happened on this day was absolutely surreal.
Coincidently, there was a blackout in the house. There was only a candle lit up on the table. It was so dark in the
house that she couldn’t even see Qin Muchen’s face clearly.
After pondering for a while, she asked Qin Muchen. “What do you think Lee Yannan’s real motive was?”
Qin Muchen’s reply was very straightforward. “I don’t know.”
Since very limited information was available on the matter, he couldn’t make any guess now.
On the next day, Su Ziyue went to work at the office as usual like the rest of the staff.
She didn’t tell anyone about the incident where she was kidnapped by Lee Yannan; even Li Qingluo wasn’t aware of
that.
She just told the outsiders that she got lost. Qin Muchen went to find her because he had something to talk to her
and both of them got lost together.
As for whether the people believed what she said, it was not so important anymore.
She knew Lee Yannan’s matter wasn’t over yet, but she must finish her work here as well. So, she couldn’t affect
everyone else’s focus because of her personal matter.
However, just after a short meeting, Qin Muchen came over to find her.
Su Ziyue asked, “What happened?”
“Lee Yannan disappeared.” Qin Muchen looked a bit grim.
The expression on Su Ziyue’s face changed abruptly when she heard that.
After all, Lee Yannan had disappeared now even before they could find out about his motive clearly.
The matter had become more complicated and mysterious now.
Due to Lee Yannan’s disappearance, Su Ziyue still felt very worried, so she increased the speed of her work
progress.

The people in the village had their own different theories on the matter.
When no one was looking, Madam Zhang asked Qin Muchen carefully, “Young man, do you know where Yannan
went?”
With an impassive expression on his face, Qin Muchen replied, “I don’t know.”
Madam Zhang saw Qin Muchen’s frightening look when he was being cold and distant before, so she dared not ask
further questions. However, she felt Qin Muchen wouldn’t simply harm Lee Yannan without any reasons.
Finally, a week later, they finished the filming here. Everyone was ready to go back to Yunzhou City. They had a
happy and delighted expression on their faces. After all, they had been staying in a place like this for almost a
month now, and they were starting to miss the city life.
Although the air around here was fresh, everything else was very inconvenient. All they could eat every day was
either sweet potatoes or potatoes; other than that, it was biscuits and instant noodles they brought themselves.
After they arrived at Yunzhou Airport, they went their separate ways quickly.
Before Li Qingluo left, she glanced at Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen with a funny look in her eyes.
After everyone had left, Su Ziyue pursed her lips and said, “I’ll go back first.”
Qin Muchen replied to her with a simple ‘okay’ before he took her luggage from her hand and held her hand with
his other free hand. “Let’s go.”
“What are you doing? Where are you going?” Su Ziyue was forced to follow behind him. She needed to take several
huge steps quickly before she could catch up with him.
Qin Muchen noticed he was walking too fast too. So, he slowed down and said in a relaxed voice, “It’s either you
come home or I’ll go to your apartment; choose one from the two options.”
Is there any difference between the two options? Both of us still have to live together.
Su Ziyue thought of something else instead as her expression darkened a bit.
“You and Gu Hanyan…”
She didn’t forget about the engagement between Qin Muchen and Gu Hanyan. Everyone in the world knew Gu
Hanyan was his fiancée.
The expression on Qin Muchen’s face froze into a rictus. He stared at her closely and said in an unusually serious
tone, “I’ll make an announcement to clarify that. I’ll organize a press conference in the afternoon today.”
Su Ziyue let out a long sigh. She shook her head and said, “You don’t have to be in such a hurry.”
In the end, the couple decided to go back to Cloud Bay.
Initially, Su Ziyue thought she wanted to go back to her own apartment, but Qin Muchen said, “There’s no one at
home to look after Beef. It’s very pitiful.”
Su Ziyue’s eyes widened in shock. “You locked Beef in the house for so long? Don’t you know that you can send it to
Lumiere Jade House and ask Nan Chuan to look after it for you?”
Qin Muchen was driving. He slowed down the car when he heard her. He turned and took a glance at her. “I left
suddenly in a hurry and Nan Chuan was too busy for that.”
Su Ziyue didn’t say anything anymore after hearing his explanation. She went back to Cloud Bay with him first.
Just as the couple reached the villa entrance and parked their car carefully. Their cell phones rang almost
simultaneously. They exchanged glances with each other; a look of surprise flashed through their eyes.
Su Ziyue looked at the caller indication shown on her cell phone screen. It was actually a call from Lu Shichu.
As soon as she answered the call, she heard Lu Shichu’s slightly uptight voice. “Ziyue, you’re back?”
“Yeah, I just came back from the airport and I just reached the entrance of the house.” Su Ziyue noticed his
peculiar tone. So, she waited for him to say something next.
There was a slight questioning tone in Lu Shichu’s voice. “What happened between you and Qin Muchen? You guys
are back together again?”
“He and I…” Su Ziyue hesitated for a while. She didn’t like Lu Shichu’s tone very much. Besides, for some unknown
reasons, she actually felt a bit guilty about this.
While Su Ziyue was hesitating, Lu Shichu said something again. He sounded as if he understood something. “So,
you guys are really back together again. It seems the news isn't all fake after all. Check out the news first, and call
me again if you have anything else.”
As soon as he finished his words, Lu Shichu straight away hung up the phone.
Su Ziyue noticed that Lu Shichu was a little angry.
Even though she didn’t know what he was angry about, she decided to check out the news first.
At that moment, Qin Muchen, who was on the phone beside her, asked the caller on the other side of the phone,
“What did the news say?”
She didn’t know what the caller said, but Qin Muchen looked furious after he hung up the phone.
Su Ziyue asked, “Nan Chuan called?”

He tried to control his temper and looked less angry when he heard her voice. He replied to her with a nod.
“What did he say?” She heard Qin Muchen mentioning the news. It seemed it was about the same thing as the one
Lu Shichu referred to when he called just now.
It seemed like the news was related to her and Qin Muchen. She had a feeling that it was definitely not a good
news.
Qin Muchen turned to look at her. He held out his hand and caressed her hair in a way that would mess up her hair,
like he used to do all the time. “No matter what, let’s not care about it first. Let’s go in there, have a meal, take a
rest and we’ll talk about it later.”
Su Ziyue nodded. She lowered her head and took a look at her cell phone before closing the search engine which
she already opened.
Since Qin Muchen had said so, she decided not to find out about it first.
……
Just as the couple reached the doorway, they saw a mess in the living room. Apparently, it was evidence of Beef
making a mess around the house.
Su Ziyue couldn’t help but laugh. She knew something like this would happen.
As for Qin Muchen, he marched right into the dog room fiercely, but he couldn’t find Beef there.
His face turned dark when he thought of something. It’ll be dead meat if it dared to go into the bedroom!
Noticing that Qin Muchen had dashed upstairs furiously, Su Ziyue followed him immediately as well.
As soon as Qin Muchen pushed the bedroom door open, he saw Beef lying on its belly while sleeping on the bed.
He growled angrily, “Beef, get down from the bed at once!”
Beef, which was startled by his growl, leaped down quickly from the bed. It then ran toward Qin Muchen and
jumped into his arms. It even whined in a pitiful way, like it was ‘sobbing’.
Su Ziyue gave him a nudge. “Don’t be so angry. It just misses you.”
As she finished speaking, she squatted down and held out her arms toward Beef. “Beef, come over here and let me
hug you.”
Noticing that, Beef dashed toward Su Ziyue quickly and leaped into her arms immediately, almost causing her to
fall over.
