Chapter 45 How Will You Repay This Favor?
When Su Ziyue woke up, she felt sore and weak without any trace of strength; just moving her neck made her feel exhausted.
Feeling cold in her right arm, she turned her head and glanced at it to find an infusion.
She moved her other hand and supported herself on the bedsheet with the palm of her hand trying to get up, but she soon found that she didn’t have the strength at all.
Her slightly closed eyes opened abruptly.
She remembered that she came out of Lumiere Jade House and got into a taxi…
Presidential suite, Mu Ninghui, and gunshots…
Scenes flashed through her mind, and her memory became complete.
The door was pushed open silently and someone walked in.
“You’re awake.”
A clear and pleasant voice was heard in the room.
Seeing that she didn’t speak or move, Qin Muchen strode over as he frowned slightly. His thin and pursed lips formed a straight line. “Is there any discomfort?”
Su Ziyue struggled to squeeze out a few words. “My body hurts everywhere.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Muchen carefully. She then turned her head and closed her eyes slightly.
She didn’t know how to face Qin Muchen now.
Should I hate him or thank him?
He was her savior, yet he was also the man who had lied to her.
Seeing that she closed her eyes after she was done speaking, Qin Muchen frowned and walked out. Su Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the slight sound of the door closing.
However, after a few minutes, several doctors came in.
Qin Muchen’s voice sounded once again, “Do a comprehensive check-up for her. If she feels any discomfort again, you can no longer be a doctor.”
With that, Su Ziyue was moved around for various examinations.
Soon, Su Ziyue somehow felt better. Seeing that her spirits had improved a lot and she looked considerably better, Qin Muchen mercifully let the doctors off.
Su Ziyue leaned against the head of the bed and touched her face, asking in a low voice, “What time is it?”
“You slept for two days.” Qin Muchen walked over and put an item on the bedside table. Su Ziyue glanced at it and found a thermos.
Qin Muchen spoke casually. She stopped asking about other things, so he didn’t mention it as well. As he slowly opened the thermos, it released the aromatic smell of chicken porridge.
Su Ziyue felt a little hungry when she smelled the aroma.
After pouring out a bowl of porridge, Qin Muchen picked up a spoon to feed her. “You should eat something.”
“Thank you, but I can eat by myself.” Lowering her eyes slightly, Su Ziyue didn’t look at him directly.
Qin Muchen’s face darkened when he heard her words, but he still handed her the bowl and turned around to go out.
…
In the following week, Su Ziyue stayed in the hospital, but she never saw Qin Muchen again. It was nurses who were taking care of her.
Bai Jingshu and Nan Chuan visited her, but she gave them attitude.
They worked together to deceive her; they stood aside and watched her make a fool out of herself. Why should I be nice to them? Do I owe them anything?
She only owed Qin Muchen.
It was not until the day she was discharged from the hospital that she saw Qin Muchen again.
Su Ziyue walked to the entrance of the hospital only to find that she was living in the top hospital in Yunzhou City, which cost over tens of thousands a day.
Qin Muchen leaned against the car in an all-black outfit, making his slender body appear upright. Standing there without talking and moving, he could also make people sense his noble temperament exuding from the inside out.
“I’ve been a bit busy lately, so I couldn’t come to see you.” Qin Muchen approached her and stretched out his hand to tidy her hair as he spoke.
Expressionlessly, Su Ziyue turned sideways to dodge his hand and said coldly, “Thank you for saving me, but I will pay you the medical expenses. If you need anything or my help in the future, I will repay your favor.”
Qin Muchen’s hand stopped midair. He squinted his dark eyes and withdrew his hand calmly, repeating what she had said, “Repay my favor?”
“Yes.” Su Ziyue nodded, her pale face filled with alienation.
Qin Muchen suddenly let out a low laugh and leaned into her ear. “How do you repay the favor of the sperms?”
Su Ziyue looked up at him, puzzled. Under his undisguised look, she suddenly understood what he meant, and a blush appeared on her pale face.
She puffed out her cheeks, unable to say a word.
“Tell me, how do you repay it?”
How dare you smile?
Su Ziyue kicked him and ran away. It happened that there was a bus stop ahead, so she ran over quickly and jumped onto the bus.
Qin Mu was left standing on the spot with his legs bent and a complicated look on his face.
Nan Chuan hesitated for a moment before he stepped forward. “Boss, are you okay…”
Qin Muchen glanced at him. “Go back to the U.S. if you continue to be so nosy!”
“Alright.” The boss’ temper is really getting worse. Obviously, Mrs. Qin makes the boss angry, and yet he vents his anger on me.
…
The bus drove very slowly; it was so slow that the passengers could see the scenery outside the window clearly.
Yet, Su Ziyue’s mind was in chaos.
The bus stopped at the station, and there was a decoration company across the road.
She followed the crowd to get off the bus and walked to the store. She then said with a very calm voice, “I need help to change a door.”
The sales lady asked her politely and patiently, “What kind of door do you need? When will you be free? We…”
“I want it to be the strongest and most solid door, and I want it to be changed now!” Su Ziyue interrupted her coldly, as if frost was coming out from her eyes.
The sales lady was still in a dilemma. “I’m sorry, but our workers…”
Su Ziyue took out a card and slammed it directly on the counter. “Ten times the price.”
It was thanks to Qin Muchen that her wallet was recovered as well. However, since he was so shameless, she had to change the door to feel at ease.
What a shameless liar.
…
Su Ziyue stood at the entrance, watching the workers change the door for her at the door frame.
The clattering sound resounded through the corridor; the neighbor on the opposite side opened the door and said angrily, “Why do you have to change the door so early in the morning?!”
With her arms folded, Su Ziyue looked over with a cold face and said in a calm and cold voice, “You’d better close the door and go in now. Otherwise, I will play funeral music with the door opened tonight.”
“You…” The neighbor’s eyes widened in anger, seemingly not expecting that such a beautiful woman would be so unreasonable.
The opposite door was slammed shut.
Su Ziyue stood in the hallway, her face still pale.
It had been more than ten days since she learned of Qin Muchen’s identity; Qin Muchen did not give her an explanation, nor did she ask.
However, a corner of her heart had actually collapsed.
She was grateful toward him for saving her from danger, but it was true that he had deliberately deceived her.
Favor and deception were two different things; she could no longer live with him.
The workers thought that Su Ziyue was dissatisfied that they were working too slow, so they sped up the installation of the door.
“It’s done, Miss.”
“Thank you.” Su Ziyue closed the door after thanking them.
The workers stood outside the door and looked at each other, puzzled. Is the customer satisfied or dissatisfied?
After closing the door, the apartment was extremely quiet.
Su Ziyue went to the wine cabinet and took a bottle of red wine. She suddenly remembered that Qin Muchen bought it last time, so she turned around and threw it into the trash can, not taking another look at it.
She then found a few cans of beer in the refrigerator. After downing three cans of it, she felt a little dizzy, but she was still sober.
Her phone that was placed aside rang again, so Su Ziyue turned around and glanced at it to find an unknown number.
