Chapter 54
Su Ziyue stepped forward to open the door, but she did not let him in. “You don’t need to do this; you saved me, and you helped me this time. If there is anything you really need me to help with, just tell me and I will try my best to help you out.”
Nonetheless, Qin Muchen prepared to go inside with the groceries in his hands, as if he didn’t hear her.
Of course, Su Ziyue did not let him in. Both of them stood at the door, not giving way to each other. For a while, the situation came to a deadlock.
Qin Muchen caved in in the end and said calmly, “Alright, take these things inside first.”
She hated him for being so nonchalant and arrogant, as if he would eventually get her; no matter what he did, as long as he treated her well, she could let him slowly penetrate her life.
“You…” Su Ziyue looked at his calm and unwavering expression; she couldn’t bring herself to say something cruel.
With a squeak, the neighbor on the opposite side opened the door and poked her head out. “Hey, can you young couple quarrel inside the house and behind closed doors so that you won’t disturb the others?”
“Is your hearing that good? The soundproofing of the room is not as bad as what you make it out to be. When you received your parcel a week ago, I couldn’t hear you quarreling with the delivery guy from my room…” Su Ziyue tilted her head to look at the woman.
“You… When did I quarrel with the delivery guy…” The woman looked embarrassed.
Qin Muchen also turned his head and took a quick glance at the face of the woman.
It was only then did the woman notice the presence of Qin Muchen and her eyes lit up immediately. “Is he your husband?”
“If you can handle him, he will be your husband.” Su Ziyue closed the door after speaking, leaving behind the woman with glowing eyes and the gloomy-looking Qin Muchen.
Seeing that Su Ziyue had already entered her house, the woman came out and said shyly, “Sir, may I know…”
Qin Muchen put the groceries he was holding in front of Su Ziyue’s door and glanced at the woman up and down. “What’s your name?”
The woman blushed and said, “Li Jingqi.”
“Ms. Li, don’t you know that all couples will always make up after a fight? Also, my wife is so much prettier than you.” After Qin Muchen finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Feeling depressed as he reached downstairs, he took a cigarette out. When he was about to bring it to his mouth, he stopped and took out his phone to make a call. “Nan Chuan, buy the house across Su Ziyue’s.”
“Ah? The house across Mrs. Qin’s? What’s the use of buying a house in that neighborhood? Why are we buying it?”
Qin Muchen was silent for two seconds before coming up with a reason. “Because the owner of the house is too ugly.”
“M-Mr. Qin…” Nan Chuan said hesitatingly, “Why don’t I make an appointment with a doctor for you? You haven’t had a medical examination this year.”
Nan Chuan couldn’t help but swallow hard after speaking. How could I accidentally say what was in my heart? I think the boss will really arrange for me to go to South Africa this time, won’t he?
However, Nan Chuan apparently made a wrong guess about what his boss was thinking. After a moment of silence, Qin Muchen replied, “Well, you can help me arrange for an appointment after this.”
“Alright.” Nan Chuan hung up the phone in a daze before calling Bai Jingshu again in a complicated mood.
“President Bai, there is something wrong with my boss recently…”
Bai Jingshu was in the middle of a meeting and had no time to talk to him, so he said casually, “After your boss got married, everything has never been right with him. Just wait, he will be crazy in the future!”
Speechless, Nan Chuan made an appointment with a doctor for Qin Muchen. After making an appointment with the doctor, he was put in a dilemma again. Should I still buy the house across Mrs. Qin’s?
…
Su Ziyue rummaged through the refrigerator and realized that it was all fast food.
She didn’t know how to cook—not even a bowl of noodles. Therefore, she dispelled the idea of cooking by herself and ordered in.
The food delivery came quickly. When she opened the door to pick up the delivery, the food delivery man pointed to the groceries at the door and asked her, “Miss, did you forget to bring your groceries in after you bought them?”
“Uh… yes.” Su Ziyue smiled awkwardly and brought the food in together with the groceries.
The groceries Qin Muchen bought were a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, which would look appetizing and delicious after cooked.
Facing a bunch of fresh meat and vegetables, Su Ziyue was helpless. Thinking that tomorrow was the weekend, she simply called An Xia to cook and eat together at her home.
After finishing the delivered food, she lay on the bed and called An Xia. “An Xia, come to my place tomorrow to cook and eat. There are groceries at home, and I can’t cook…”
“If you don’t know how to cook, just don’t eat it.” It sounded like An Xia was doing her laundry as there was the sound of water in the background.
“Very well, An Xia, you’d better—”
Being pestered by her, An Xia had no choice but to agree. “Okay, okay, I will come tomorrow.”
…
The next morning, An Xia came together with some ‘extra baggage.’
“Bai Jingshu?” Su Ziyue turned to look at An Xia. “What’s going on?”
An Xia said hesitantly, “I met two hooligans on the way here, but he helped me. After hearing that I’m coming here to cook at your house, he pestered me to tag along…”
“I pestered you to tag along? Flat-chested girl, is this how you treat your lifesaver?” Bai Jingshu stretched out his hand and pressed it on An Xia’s head.
Bai Jingshu was tall and big with long limbs; on the other hand, An Xia was not tall, and her limbs were not long enough. When Bai Jingshu pressed her head like this, she couldn’t touch Bai Jingshu no matter how much she struggled, which made her look quite funny.
“I didn’t expect your hands to be so short, flat-chested girl. Hahaha!” Bai Jingshu laughed at An Xia unscrupulously.
Su Ziyue felt a little funny as she looked at them, but she still had to stand by her good friend’s side. Therefore, she looked behind Bai Jingshu and said, “Qin Muchen.”
Bai Jingshu released An Xia suddenly and jumped away. “Muchen?” He looked behind and found no one; it was only then did he realize he had been fooled.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, An Xia picked up a spatula and chased him all over the house, making a mess; it took awhile for them to calm down. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
An Xia then opened the refrigerator and glanced at its contents. “Why don’t we have hotpot at noon?”
Bai Jingshu snorted at the side. “I’ve gotten excessive internal heat recently.”
“If that’s the case, don’t jerk off so much, understand?!” An Xia took out a piece of beef and slapped it directly on Bai Jingshu.
Bai Jingshu was smart this time; he didn’t quarrel with her and ran up to Su Ziyue instead. “Mrs. Qin, the flat-chested girl hit me.”
Su Ziyue, who was picking the edible part of vegetables, looked up at him and said calmly, “If I called you a toothpick, would you want to kill me?”
Bai Jingshu was about to drink some water when he heard her words, and the water spurted out of his mouth, causing him to cough.
An Xia also looked at Su Ziyue meaningfully while she shook her head and sighed. “Married women are really not afraid of talking inappropriately.”
Su Ziyue was speechless. She says that as if she was afraid of talking inappropriately.
An Xia continued, “The Ice Goddess finally stepped down from the altar and became a Dirty Queen!”
