Chapter 175
“Is two hours not enough for you?”
Qin Muchen looked up at her grimly and made another offer, “In that case, I’ll give you three hours and nothing
more.”
“I’d like to talk it out with you.” Su Ziyue held her head up, her face looking solemn.
After gazing at her expression for a split second, he spoke, “Go on and take a shower first then come out to have
dinner. I don’t want to talk about the matter within the next three hours.” He turned around and left the bedroom
after saying that.
Then, the door was banged shut.
In fact, she could detect the anger in him. After spending so much time with each other, she could sense his
emotion although he had always kept it hidden.
She also had a feeling that he was resolved to have children because otherwise, he would not have forced her into
making a decision within three hours.
Yet, her answer would only remain the same be it now or three hours later—she did not think it was the right time
yet.
She really thought so and it was not a mere excuse.
…
After sitting on the bed in a daze for several minutes, she dragged her sore body toward the bathroom.
Then, she made her way to the dining hall in a bathrobe after taking a shower. Looking at the dining hall which had
obviously been cleaned, her face flushed while she walked over to take a seat opposite of Qin Muchen silently.
Not daring to look up at him, she sat obediently with her entire body tensed up.
She could tell that Qin Muchen had already taken a shower too but he was still wearing a suit.
As soon as he saw her coming over, he immediately put his phone down and glanced at her. She was wearing a
clean and white bathrobe which did not fit because it was one size larger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe collar was let loose to reveal a large area around her neck and she just managed to keep the sleeves at her
upper arms by rolling a big part of them upward. Her slightly moistened long hair was hanging over her shoulder
and her face still looked slightly blushed, probably because of the heat from the hot shower she had just taken.
The sight of her looking meek and soft melted Qin Muchen’s heart.
After cutting the steak on the plate in front of him into pieces silently, he pushed it over to her before taking the
untouched one that lay in front of her.
He did not say a word throughout the entire process.
Su Ziyue only eyed him with astonishment without moving.
On the next second came his voice which lacked warmth, “Aren’t you hungry?”
Before she could reply to him, he added, “You have to have something even though you aren’t hungry.”
Su Ziyue dug in as she was in fact slightly hungry.
Meanwhile, Qin Muchen was cutting the steak in front of him gracefully and he did not speak to her again
throughout the entire dinner.
Su Ziyue ate her food slowly and when she finished her portion, she looked up only to find him staring right at her
unflinchingly.
Slightly taken aback by his stare, she felt like saying something but nothing seemed appropriate now.
“Drink it.” Suddenly, Qin Muchen fetched a ladleful of soup and offered it to her.
While Su Ziyue was gawking at him in bewilderment, he urged impatiently, “Do it now.”
It seemed like he tended to be bad-tempered everytime he was unhappy.
Not wanting to worsen his foul mood, she lowered her head to drink the soup from the ladle.
The moment she did so, she felt something solid in her mouth.
With her eyes widened, she watched him as he returned to his seat nonchalantly while she reached out to extract
the thing from her mouth.
She realized it was actually a ring after taking a closer look.
Su Ziyue, whose heart skipped a beat, stuttered, “This…”
Every woman understood what a ring represented.
“Do you want it?” His somewhat insouciant voice came.
Su Ziyue asked in a confused tone, “Did you buy this?”
Despite just having a row with each other over the baby issue earlier, he was giving her a ring now.
Then, he asked her whether she wanted it.
“Isn’t the ring meant for me?” Su Ziyue fixed her eyes on the diamond ring, which she believed must have cost a
lot despite not having a modern design.
He might not have spent much effort in picking the ring but she was sure he must have spent a great fortune on it.
“I’ll put it on your finger.” Not only did he not answer her question, but he also did not explain the reason why he
had asked her whether she wanted the ring or not.
In a straightforward manner, he grabbed the diamond ring back and wiped it clean before holding her hand to put
the ring on her ring finger very domineeringly.
She retrieved her hand and glimpsed at the extremely shiny diamond ring.
The diamond ring must have been prepared by him beforehand.
If she had not said no to the baby issue earlier, tonight would have been perfect.
Nonetheless, it seemed to have been ruined by her.
With her lips tightly pursed, Su Ziyue looked both depressed and bitter.
Qin Muchen only cast her a glance before leaving the dining hall.
Su Ziyue sat alone at the dining table for a long while up until Qin Muchen made his entrance again.
“Time’s up.”
He took the seat across her and kept his eyes on her with an indifferent look as though they were going to talk
business.
Su Ziyue felt extremely awful.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter taking a deep breath, she said everything at one go, “I’ve told you earlier that now is not the right time for us
to have kids. I’m not unwilling to have kids but I just don’t think the right time has come. At least…”
Looking at Qin Muchen whose expression had taken a drastic change, she slowly trailed off until she could not go on
at all.
His expression looked so gloomy that it sent chills down her spine.
Keeping her lips tightly pursed, she clenched both hands tightly as though by doing that, the fear deep down inside
her could be effectively contained.
Yet, her effort turned out to be futile.
Just one look from him was enough to deter her from behaving as wilful as how she had always been when she was
with him.
After gazing at her grimly for several seconds, Qin Muchen said icily, “Give me a reason.”
Obviously, he was not pleased with the reason she had provided.
With a frown, she bit her lips and said in a somewhat adulatory tone, “Can’t we only have kids some time later?
You’ll have the right to decide whether we have boys or girls and how many you want.”
Qin Muchen let out an icy snort before he countered, “I can’t decide the gender of our babies but I can decide
whether we have them now or later. You just have to tell me whether you’re willing to have babies now or not.”
Su Ziyue, who was slightly annoyed by his stubbornness, answered him straightforwardly, “I can’t do it now.”
“Very well.” Suddenly, he chuckled and confronted her, “Do you know how many women out there are waiting
eagerly to have my babies? Su Ziyue, do you assume I’ll just tolerate whatever you do just because I tend to
indulge in you?”
Su Ziyue questioned in a tone imbued with traces of disbelief, “What did you just say?”
Right now, she did not feel like she knew him at all.
Of course she knew there were plenty of women out there who couldn’t wait to have his babies and she too
understood how well he had been treating her.
Yet, she was left baffled to hear it from him.
Ignoring her question, Qin Muchen continued, “It seems like I have to adopt a different attitude to get along with
you.”
