Chapter 82 Cold Shoulder
Su Ziyue’s head was spinning as he kissed her. Her hand that was initially pushing him away gradually lost its strength and just rested on his shoulders. It wasn’t until Beef’s bark was heard from the hall that Su Ziyue snapped out of this passionate kiss.
She pushed Qin Muchen away violently, but she forgot that she was still standing on the stairs. After pushing him away, her body swayed unsteadily before she reached out and barely grabbed the railing.
When she was swaying, Qin Muchen moved his hands which were by his side but he didn’t reach out to her in the end. Instead, he squatted down and picked up the set of underwear that was on the ground before handing it to her. “These are yours.”
Qin Muchen’s complexion had returned to normal when she pushed him away. Although he was grasping her underwear with his bony fingers, he didn’t look flustered at all.
Instead, it was Su Ziyue who blushed so hard that even her neck turned red. After all, she was a girl who had never been in a serious relationship. In a sense, she was still extremely innocent. When she saw a man holding her underwear, she couldn’t act calm as if nothing was happening. She stretched out her hand to snatch away her underwear from Qin Muchen’s hands. Then, she bit her lips and glared at him before running up the stairs, obviously ruffled.
Qin Mushen turned his head and touched his lips, his eyes darkening. She kept wandering in front of him dressed like that, so of course he had to steal a kiss.
…
As Su Ziyue had slept late the night before, she woke up late the next morning. She only realized that it was Saturday and she didn’t have to go to work after turning over and sitting up from the bed. Scratching her head, she went into the bathroom. She walked to the mirror, turned on the faucet and washed her face. When she looked up, she saw herself in a black shirt in the mirror, and her lips were still a little red and swollen.
Seeing this, Su Ziyue was startled. Recalling the kiss with Qin Muchen on the stairs last night, her face was gradually stained with red, and then anger flashed through her eyes. Damn it! Why didn’t I slap him last night? Wait. He’s my savior. Plus, he has saved my life more than once.
Thinking of this, Su Ziyue felt a little short of breath.
…
After that, she went downstairs to the empty hall. The sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, thereafter she turned around and saw that it was Qin Muchen who was wearing a suit. He walked in from outside, bringing along with him the cold wind.
It was late autumn, and Su Ziyue had just gotten up and changed into her clothes. Plus, the heating was turned on in the villa, so she shivered from the sudden cold wind.
Qin Muchen frowned upon seeing this and closed the door. The room then became as warm as springtime. Su Ziyue stood at the top of the stairs and looked at him. She had just gotten up, so she was extra meek at the moment. Seeing this, his tone became gentle as he said, “Just got up?”
“Yeah.” Although she initially didn’t think much about it, she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard his question. She then checked the time and realized that it was almost eleven.
At this time, the door was pushed open again, and Bai Jingshu came in with something in his hands. “Muchen, why did you close the door? Didn’t you see that I was carrying things?” He only realized that Qin Muchen was still standing at the door after he walked in. Taking a glance at his surroundings, he saw Su Ziyue as well.
He then smiled at Su Ziyue. “Good morning, dear sister-in-law!”
Su Ziyue pursed her lips and glanced at Qin Muchen. Last time, the two had already clearly explained their relationship, and yet Bai Jingshu still called her ‘sister-in-law’…
Meanwhile, Qin Muchen didn’t have any reaction whatsoever. Thinking that he did not mind Jingshu’s way of addressing her, Su Ziyue smiled at Bai Jingshu and said, “Good morning.”
Then, Bai Jingshu walked toward the kitchen with the bags in his hands. Qin Muchen did not take another glance at her. He turned around and walked to the dog cage to feed the dog. After everything was over last night, the dog cage had been placed directly in the hall as it was already late at night.
Su Ziyue just stood there, not knowing what to say. Then, she heard Qin Muchen calling her with a solemn tone, “Su Ziyue, come here.”
Su Ziyue walked over after hearing his stern voice and saw a pool of yellow liquid and a pile of dog crap on the floor under the dog cage! Seeing this, the corners of her mouth twitched. Was Qin Muchen seriously asking her to clean up its poo?
“Thank you.” Qin Muchen stood up and stared at her calmly before turning and walking toward the kitchen. His tone was cold and alienated.
Su Ziyue’s lips moved, but no words came out of her mouth. People like Qin Muchen had their pride. Although he acted brute most of the time back then, he had his pride and his own principles. She had already come clean with him, so he had no reason to tolerate her unconditionally.
He probably only rescued her last night because it happened in Lumiere Jade House and he didn’t want any trouble as the boss of the place. Otherwise, Lumiere Jade House would be forced to close down. And that kiss…
It had just been an accident, just like their night in Lumiere Jade House.
……
Bai Jingshu was taking out the contents of the bag when Qin Muchen walked over.
“Get out of the way.” Qin Muchen walked up to him and took over the task that he was doing. It was him who had asked Bai Jingshu to help Su Ziyue yesterday, which was why he asked Bai Jingshu to come over for a meal today.
Bai Jingshu clucked his tongue, stepped aside, then looked Qin Muchen up and down carefully. “Su Ziyue just got up. It seems like you guys had an intense night last night. Why do you still look so dissatisfied?”
Qin Muchen ignored him. Then, Bai Jingshu continued, “Is it because you lost your virginity too late in life and don’t know how to wield your manhood, so she wasn’t satisfied?”
“F*ck off!” Qin Muchen was removing the tape with a long knife in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he raised it up and directly sent it forward. The long knife swept past Bai Jingshu’s ear and was firmly inserted into the wooden locker behind him.
Bai Jingshu glanced back, swallowed silently and looked at Qin Muchen with an awkward expression. “So I did guess correctly. That’s why—”
“Do you want me to throw another knife at you? I promise I won’t miss this time.” Qin Muchen glared at him and Bai Jingshu immediately shut up and stopped himself from continuing his sentence—That’s why you’re so angry.
…
Su Ziyue was from a wealthy family, and although the Su family liked to find faults with her, they had never mistreated her. Plus, she never had to handle kids in her family nor had she owned a pet before, so she was actually a little overwhelmed by having to clean an animal’s poop.
Su Ziyue took a wet paper towel and wiped the buttocks of Beef, thereafter she opened the door of the dog cage. “Beef, come out first…”
After Beef came out, Su Ziyue pinched her nose and picked up the shovel to clean the pile of dog poop. Just as she was about to invert the shovel to dump the poop into the trash can, Beef suddenly ran over and sniffed it, then turned around abruptly and pounced on Su Ziyue. Su Ziyue was caught off guard and her hand was hit, causing the contents of the shovel to land directly on her body.
Su Ziyue lowered her head and took a glance, thereafter a painful expression appeared on her face. Gripping the shovel tightly, she closed her eyes and shouted, “Qin Muchen, help!”
