Chapter 80 Need Someone to Look After My Dog
When Su Ziyue went in, Qin Muchen was teasing Beef with a few pieces of dog food. He crouched in front of the dog cage in his suit, looking down at the puppy while it gobbled up the dog food. This scene somehow made Su Ziyue feel warm.
Nan Chuan came in behind them. “Mr. Qin, Doctor Lu is on his way and should be here in a few minutes. I still have to settle some things at Lumiere Jade House, so I’ll make a move first.”
“Alright,” Qin Muchen replied. After the last piece of dog food was fed to Beef, Qin Muchen stood up and went to wash his hands.
Looking at Qin Muchen’s back, Su Ziyue felt uneasy.
Since they left the police station, he hadn’t once talked to her.
Su Ziyue bowed her head to look at Beef.
They said that puppies were the liveliest, but Beef wasn’t really lively.
After finishing the dog food that Qin Muchen fed it, it lay down again.
It rested its snout on its paws which were stretched out in front it, both its hind legs curled up together. It looked extremely cute.
“Beef.” Su Ziyue crouched and softly called its name.
Perhaps Qin Muchen only got it for a few days and it wasn’t familiar with its name, so it only lazily glanced at Su Ziyue without even wagging its tail.
When Qin Muchen came back, he saw that Su Ziyue was playing with Beef. Yet, Beef wasn’t responsive to her.
Qin Muchen walked over, expressionless, and crouched down to pet Beef. His nice clear voice hit Su Ziyue’s eardrums. “Beef.”
Different from its unresponsiveness when Su Ziyue called it, once it heard Qin Muchen call it, Beef immediately got up and approached him. It even wagged its tail happily and nudged Qin Muchen’s hand with its head, asking for affection.
Qin Muchen raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised. Why did Beef suddenly become so warm to him when it had been ignoring him for the past few days?
Could it be that it was because he fed him just now?
Thinking of that, Qin Muchen smiled while turning to look at Su Ziyue. His smile obviously looked mocking. “You’re right. Getting a dog is great.”
Su Ziyue was speechless. If getting a dog was great, why did he save her then?
However, she could only swallow her words because she wasn’t an ungrateful woman.
“Thank you for what you did today.”
Su Ziyue turned a blind eye to the contempt in his eyes and lowered her eyes, looking sincerely grateful.
Qin Muchen retracted his hand from teasing Beef and stood up. “If you really want to thank me, just stay here.”
“What?” Stay here?
An uneasy look flashed across Su Ziyue’s face. Did he mean…
But what Qin Muchen said later made her sweet thoughts vanish into thin air.
“I’m usually busy working, and Nan Chuan has many things to handle in Lumiere Jade House too, so we often can’t take care of Beef. I need someone to take care of my dog.”
Qin Muchen looked down at her from above. That look was exactly the same as when they discussed the contract earlier, as if he was just discussing a business deal.
Somehow, Su Ziyue suddenly felt sad when she saw his expression, and she felt suffocated as if a huge ball of cotton had been stuffed in her heart.
Previously when she visited his villa, he said he needed a female mistress.
This time, he had saved her again, but he said he needed someone to look after his dog.
Su Ziyue slowly raised her hand and clutched her chest. Wasn’t this what she wanted?
No more excessive contact; just the simplest relationship.
After failing to receive her reply after a long time, Qin Muchen slightly furrowed his eyebrows. “Is this such a difficult task for you?”
“N-No…” Su Ziyue quickly shook her head and smiled. “I can do it.”
Looking at the smile on her face, he felt that it was rather an eyesore.
He actually wanted to hear her rejection just now.
But in the end, this woman happily agreed. Great.
At that moment, a string of footsteps came from outside the door. Qin Muchen looked in that direction, thinking that it must be Lu Shichu.
“Mr. Qin.”
A magnetic male voice rang at the door, followed by approaching footsteps.
Then, Qin Muchen walked over. Su Ziyue stood up too, following behind him.
She heard someone calling Qin Muchen, and that voice sounded familiar.
“It’s been a long time since we last met.” That magnetic male voice rang out again.
Su Ziyue confirmed that she had heard it clearly, and it was indeed familiar, so she strode forward and stopped in front of Qin Muchen. Then, she saw a man carrying a medical box.
The man was slightly shorter than Qin Muchen but his features were gentle, completely different from Qin Muchen’s cold and mysterious face. He obviously looked like a man with a great temper.
Su Ziyue beamed with surprise. “Shichu!”
Lu Shichu set his eyes on Su Ziyue, and his expression changed from surprise to delight before finally settling on joy. “Ziyue.”
“It’s me.” Su Ziyue trotted toward him with a smile and held his hand. “When did you return from overseas? Why didn’t I receive any news?”
As soon as she finished her questions, she felt a strong gaze on her. Turning back to look at Qin Muchen, she noticed that his face was dark and gloomy.
Qin Muchen lifted his thin lips and coldly spat out two words, “Come here.”
Lu Shichu looked at them both in curiosity while Su Ziyue wrinkled her nose at him. “He has a bad temper. Let’s chat later.”
When Qin Muchen, who had all his attention on Su Ziyue, heard what she said to Lu Shichu, his face darkened frighteningly.
He had a bad temper?
Who was the one who always rejected him and told him to get a dog?
She even smiled so happily at Lu Shichu. How did she know Lu Shichu?
His heart simmering with rage, Qin Muchen looked angry on the outside too.
However, he still suppressed the rage in his heart and raised his eyes to glance at Su Ziyue. “Give her a full body checkup. She was injected with drugs.”
Upon hearing that, Lu Shichu became serious too while Su Ziyue smiled bitterly.
Without hesitating, Lu Shichu put down his medical box and began to examine her.
During the entire process, Qin Muchen sat beside them, staring closely at the both of them without blinking an eye as if he was monitoring two criminals to prevent them from committing crimes.
Lu Shichu felt uncomfortable under his gaze, as if he was sitting on pins and needles. Therefore, he knitted his eyebrows and lifted his head to look at Qin Muchen. “Mr. Qin, maintaining the same posture for a long time will cause body stiffness.”
Qin Muchen raised an eyebrow and replied soullessly, “I like it this way.”
Upon hearing his reply, Lu Shichu could only look away and continued to examine Su Ziyue.
Su Ziyue thought that he seemed strange too.
Since Qin Muchen called Lu Shichu to examine her, he must have known Lu Shichu too. But judging from his attitude toward Lu Shichu, he didn’t seem friendly…
After the examination, Lu Shichu looked slightly relaxed. “The dose is small, so it won’t cause an addiction. She might experience side effects this week but she’ll be fine once she gets over that.”
Then, he set his eyes on Su Ziyue’s wrist, looking gentle while smiling faintly. “You’re still wearing this watch? It’s too old now. I’ll buy you a new one later.”
