Chapter 238
Su Ziyue went back to her room and excitedly called An Xia to tell her about it.
When the call was connected, An Xia spoke before her, “Ziyue, I was just about to call you.”
“What’s the matter?”
Su Ziyue heard the happiness in her voice and she felt curious.
An Xia answered loudly, “I found a job again!”
“Wow, that was quick!” Su Ziyue was surprised.
Then, she asked her, “Which company is it, and what’s your job?”
“It’s Bai Jingshu’s company. The salary he offered me is even higher than what I was getting at Su Group…”
Su Ziyue didn’t pay attention to what An Xia said after that. She felt that this might be destined.
After chatting for a while more, Su Ziyue ended the call.
When she turned around and saw Qin Muchen coming in from the door, she couldn’t help but purse her lips.
Qin Muchen had pretty much guessed what had happened but he still remained calm on the outside and
deliberately asked, “What’s the matter?”
“An Xia found a job but…” How did she get a job in Bai Jingshu’s company?
“But what?”
“Nothing.” Su Ziyue shook her head and didn’t feel like continuing this topic anymore.
She then lifted her feet to head outside. Suddenly, she thought of something and abruptly turned around to look at
Qin Muchen with a strange look.
Hmph! If An Xia had gone to work in Bai Jingshu’s company, didn’t that mean that she had been exploited for
nothing by Qin Muchen earlier?
That couldn’t be tolerated!
After glaring at Qin Muchen for a few seconds, Su Ziyue snorted and went out before he spoke.
At night, Qin Muchen finally understood what Su Ziyue’s strange look meant.
When he went back to the room after he settled the documents in the study, he realized that no one was in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtroom.
Furrowing his eyebrows in displeasure, he walked to the room next door. However, he couldn’t open the door when
he grabbed the knob and turned it.
Was it actually locked?
Was she determined to sleep separately with him tonight?
“Su Ziyue.”
Qin Muchen put down his hand and called Su Ziyue’s name in a deep voice.
In the room, Su Ziyue had just finished showering. She couldn’t be bothered to blow dry her hair, so she lay on the
bed and draped her hair over the edge of the bed while scrolling on the phone.
Hearing Qin Muchen’s voice from outside, she rolled over and sat up.
Seeing that the door was still locked, she let out a breath of relief. Then, she lay back down and replied indolently,
“I’m sleeping. See you tomorrow.”
After that, Su Ziyue couldn’t help but laugh.
He couldn’t come in since she had locked the door.
It was silent outside. With a door in between, she wasn’t sure if Qin Muchen was still there or not.
He had probably gone back to the master bedroom.
Feeling dispirited, Su Ziyue lay down again but she still couldn’t sleep because her hair wasn’t dry yet.
She was starting to regret it. If she hadn’t locked him out, she would have someone to blow dry her hair now.
Holding her phone and swiping it, she began to feel drowsy. Just when she was about to doze off, she heard Qin
Muchen’s voice. “Are you going to sleep without drying your hair?”
“I can’t be bothered.”
While replying, Su Ziyue yawned.
Two seconds later, she suddenly opened her heavy eyelids.
Then, she sat up and realized that the door was wide open while Qin Muchen was walking toward the bed.
The door was wide opened? And he was walking over?
“H-How did you get in? I locked the door. You…”
Looking at Qin Muchen’s approaching sturdy figure, Su Ziyue trailed off timidly.
“You underestimate me.” Qin Muchen raised his eyebrow and looked down at the iron wire in his hand. With a
gentle toss, that iron wire was thrown into the trash can.
Then, he raised his head to look at Su Ziyue with his cold eyes. “Do you need me to help you or will you go back to
the room on your own?”
Su Ziyue came back to her senses from the astonishing fact that Qin Muchen had unlocked the door using a tiny
iron wire and replied hastily, “I’ll go back on my own!”
Raising his eyebrows, Qin Muchen looked at her.
Su Ziyue added timidly, “You go first… Ah!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Muchen, who had lost his patience, was already carrying her back to the
room next door.
He was literally carrying her!
Just like how one would carry a plastic bag…
With a poker face, Qin Muchen threw her onto the bed, took out the hair dryer and slowly blew dry her hair.
Although Su Ziyue wasn’t happy with how he had carried her just now, she decided not to make a fuss since he was
blow-drying her hair.
The fact was, after Qin Muchen blew dry her hair, he left her aside and even slept without cuddling her.
The bed was huge so both of them lay very far apart.
The next morning when she woke up, Qin Muchen had already left her side.
Laying on the bed, she sulkily scrolled on social media and liked the post by An Xia that was captioned ‘first day of
work’.
Soon, An Xia texted her, ‘You’re awake so early?’
Su Ziyue quickly replied, ‘Yeah. Are you starting at Yunteng today?’
‘I’m in the subway. It’ll take 20 minutes more to reach there,’ An Xia replied timely too. Although Su Ziyue couldn’t
see her, she could still sense that An Xia was in a great mood.
After chatting for a while, An Xia inadvertently asked, ‘Is Mr. Qin making breakfast for you now?’
Su Ziyue replied upsettingly, ‘I don’t think I’ll be getting breakfast today.’
Then, she related the incident that happened last night to An Xia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAn Xia blasted three texts consecutively.
‘Mr. Qin is such an all-rounded man! He even knows how to unlock a door.’
‘Keep up with your attitude!’
‘Hahahaha!’
She then followed up with several strings of ‘hahahas’.
Su Ziyue sent an angry emoji to her. After wishing her the best for her work, she got up from the bed.
When she walked down the stairs, she tiptoed like a thief.
While walking, she bent down to peep at the hall.
There was no one.
When she arrived at the dining room, she heard the sizzling sound of food being fried.
Crouching, she sneakily walked to the kitchen door and poked her head in, and she saw Qin Muchen arranging the
plates.
He seemed calm and didn't look angry.
Just when Su Ziyue was about to walk back, pretending that she hadn’t sneakily come here, Qin Muchen said,
“Come here and take the breakfast to the table.”
Su Ziyue was speechless. Did he have eyes on his back?!
“Morning!” Su Ziyue walked in with a bright smile. Glancing at the breakfast on the plate, she said gleefully,
“Today’s fried eggs look beautiful!”
“Yeah,” Qin Muchen replied indifferently while putting the last fried egg in the pan onto the plate.
Biting her lips, Su Ziyue took the breakfast to the table.
Qin Muchen walked out behind her. Noticing that she was about to dig in, he squinted while looking at her. “Su
Ziyue, can’t you see that I’m angry?”
“Huh?”
“Eat your breakfast, and don’t talk to me today.” After a snort, Qin Muchen bowed his head and started to eat his
breakfast.
Su Ziyue was still dumbfounded. She understood that Qin Muchen was angry but what did he mean by ‘don’t talk to
me today’?
Qin Muchen unhurriedly ate his breakfast while emitting a dignified aura that felt cold and aloof.
Su Ziyue could only quietly eat her breakfast. But just after a bite, her stomach suddenly churned, so she threw her
cutleries down and dashed toward the bathroom.
