Chapter 156 Could It Be That You Care About Me?
Get in his way? Su Ziyue asked him, “What are you going to do?” “Mind your own business.” Qin Muchen turned back to his desk and began to look at the documents.
Thus, Su Ziyue nestled in the sofa and continued to play the game on her phone. She could usually pass the level at once, but she still couldn’t get past it even after trying twenty times today.
Meanwhile, Qin Muchen’s mind was focused on Su Ziyue—who was sitting on the sofa—even though he was looking at the document in front of him.
He tried to stare at the document in his hands for several minutes without looking away, but he could no longer help it and stared at Su Ziyue instead.
Su Ziyue was nestled on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking like she was very petite. The big down jacket enveloped her, making her already fair face a little paler.
Qin Muchen frowned and dialed the intercom. “Get me a cup of hot milk tea. Hurry up.”
He hung up after speaking and turned on the heating in the office.
He had high tolerance for heat and cold, but Su Ziyue was different; she was obviously cold as she curled up there, but she didn’t say a word.
…
Looking at the words ‘I’m sorry. You failed to pass the level’ again displayed on the screen of her phone, Su Ziyue buried herself in the sofa dejectedly.
How annoying.
She buried herself in the sofa and did not move for a long time. It was only when she heard a knock on the door and saw someone enter the room did she sit up properly again.
“Miss Su, here is your hot milk tea.” The secretary put a cup of steaming hot milk tea in front of her and turned around to leave.
I didn’t ask for milk tea.
Su Ziyue turned her head to look at Qin Muchen to find that he was studying the documents with a serious look on his face.
However, he is looking at the documents seriously even though he knows I’m cold—he does have a special skill indeed.
Because of this discovery, Su Ziyue felt more confident. She stepped off the sofa and walked to his desk with the hot milk tea as she said to Qin Muchen, “Thank you for asking the secretary to bring me some milk tea.”
Qin Muchen, who was looking at the document with his head down, did not look up at her. He turned a page of the document and slowly said, “If you didn’t insist on staying here, the secretary wouldn’t have wasted her time on making milk tea, and she would’ve been able to go home on time.”
Su Ziyue was stunned, and the smile at the corner of her mouth froze instantly.
A waste of time, huh?
Su Ziyue bit her lip. “I’m sorry.”
Then, she put down the milk tea in her hand, turned around and opened the door to leave with her bag.
Qin Mu looked up immediately only to see the closing door.
Is she gone just like this?
Qin Muchen’s face clouded over. He really couldn’t expect much patience from a woman whom he treated well from the bottom of his heart, but who was thinking about another man and wanting him to cancel the engagement with his fiancée.
…
Su Ziyue left the chairman’s office and went downstairs in a hurry.
After leaving the building of LK Group, she did not go to her car directly; instead, she walked to the parking lot and found Qin Muchen’s exclusive parking space.
Puffing up her cheeks, Su Ziyue took out a lipstick from her bag and painted it all over the inside of the driver’s side door handle of the black Bentley.
This lipstick of hers could only be removed with makeup remover!
After applying the lipstick, Su Ziyue ran away quietly and returned to her car.
Qin Muchen was a clean freak; she would like to see how he could stand his hand being stained with lipstick.
The thought of Qin Muchen’s cold face made Su Ziyue feel funny and eased her anger.
At the same time, she felt childish as well.
She had come to his office in an attempt to explain everything to him, but in the end, she wasn’t able to say anything at all.
He must’ve misunderstood me to a large extent. If he knows that I’m the one pulling the lipstick prank, he’ll be even more furious, right?
Screw this—I’ve done it anyway, so I must face the consequences. Better yet, he might even become so angry that he beats me up; that might help him vent his spleen.
Thinking of this, Su Ziyue took out her phone to play the previous game. To her surprise, she passed the level in a single attempt.
She took a look at the main entrance of LK Group from inside her car, but she still did not see Qin Muchen coming out. Hence, she changed into another position and continued to wait.
Since he doesn’t like it when I follow him in the open, I’ll just do it in secret. If he doesn’t let me follow him to his evening appointment, then I will just follow him quietly.
After waiting for a while, Qin Muchen finally walked out of the main entrance of LK Group after work.
With a slender and tall figure coupled with the extraordinary air exuding from him, he looked as attractive as a male model at fashion week.
Her car was parked on the side of the road, but Su Ziyue made sure to park her car discreetly; on the other hand, Qin Muchen’s car was parked in an exclusive parking space in the parking lot.
She thought it would take a long time for Qin Muchen to drive out, but unexpectedly, he was seen driving out quickly.
Su Ziyue quickly started the car and followed him.
For some reason, she felt that Qin Muchen was driving very slowly. She initially thought that it would be difficult for her to keep up with him, but it turned out she didn’t have to worry about that at all.
The place where he was going was not Lumiere Jade House, but another upscale clubhouse.
However, when Su Ziyue saw the name of the clubhouse, her face turned dark.
Everyone in Yunzhou City knew that the girls in this clubhouse were notoriously beautiful.
So, is this what Qin Muchen meant when he said I would only be getting in his way?
Thinking of this possibility, Su Ziyue’s face darkened again.
…
Qin Muchen walked to the entrance of the clubhouse and stopped suddenly. Then, he turned his head around to make sure that he saw Su Ziyue’s car and raised his eyebrows.
She would have been unable to follow him with such a clumsy tailing technique if he hadn’t been driving slowly on purpose.
He initially felt angry when he looked down at his loosely clenched right hand, but he couldn’t stop himself from smiling soon after that
How childish!
Although it was a childish prank, he still fell for it.
He walked inside and asked the waiter, “Where is the restroom, please?”
After the waiter took Qin Muchen to the restroom, he slowly squeezed the hand wash and washed his hand for quite a while before it was cleaned.
Nevertheless, he kept feeling like it wasn’t clean enough.
With a frown on his face, he wiped his hands and went out of the restroom. Thinking of Bai Jingshu’s request, he knitted his brows even more.
As soon as he left, Su Ziyue came out of the women’s restroom. It must’ve been difficult for him to wash it off; I just know it judging by the time he spent inside.
Su Ziyue followed Qin Muchen in a good mood; she soon forgot that she was actually following him in secret.
She didn’t realize it until she walked straight up to Qin Muchen.
Su Ziyue had a serious expression on her face. “Haha, what a coincidence.”
Qin Muchen stared at her with deep eyes; he then stretched out a long arm to place it against the wall as he approached her.
Seeing him like this, Su Ziyue couldn’t pretend to bump into him by chance. She wanted to run away after taking two steps back, but Qin Muchen pulled her back and pinned her against the wall.
He put both of his hands on the wall, making her stay within the small space in front of his chest.
Su Ziyue blinked her eyes nervously, and her long eyelashes were flickering like butterfly wings. Looking at her beautiful eyes, Qin Muchen was almost unable to look away.
“You’re following me around like this; are you actually concerned about me?” Qin Muchen’s voice was as low and cold as always, but if one listened carefully, there was a hint of tension in his tone of voice.
