Chapter 335
It was weird. Su Ziyue’s behavior today was completely 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
the company. 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 pan coming from the
kitchen. She glanced 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 placing a strip of bacon which he had just fried onto a plate, 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 a layer
of frost in an instant. Has she left?
What was the point of avoiding him? After all, she still had to come 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 immaculate 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 placed 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 glanced at the carrier bag and said with a smile, “Thanks.” At the moment, she had no appetite for food.
Even being in the same place 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 relationship 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
relationship 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 slack off anymore because as you know, Uncle
Xingyan is around in the city recently. He’ll come in here anytime.”
It wes weird. Su Ziyue’s behevior todey wes completely 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.

the compeny. But judging from how things turned out et the moment, it did not seem like thet wes the reeson.

don’t we hove o chot next time when the both of us ore free? I con’t slock off onymore becouse os you know, Uncle
Xingyon is oround in the city recently. He’ll come in here onytime.”
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 behavior last night was indeed unreasonable. Hence, it was completely 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 together later. 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 minutes later.”
“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 the company 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 collar and tossed the proposal at the manager.
“Redo it!” he yelled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe 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 flash. It had been a long time since the president last 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 together later. 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.
Placing 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 minutes later. 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 account 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 accidentally 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?”
