Marry Me Quick

Chapter 96

Unsatisfied with Qin Muchen’s answer, Su Ziyue chased after him after pondering for a moment. She pushed the door to the study open and burst into the room without knocking on the door. However, before she could see what Qin Muchen was doing at his desk, she heard him yelling in a stern voice, “Get out!”

Get out? Su Ziyue frowned. Wasn’t he fine just now? Why is he blowing his top for no reason? Su Ziyue would never be Su Ziyue if she simply listened to him and left the room. She walked toward his desk immediately and caught sight of his unnaturally pink ears. Pointing at his ears, she asked him, “Why are your ears pink? Is it very stuffy in here?” NôvelDrama.Org content.

She remembered reading a book that said specific parts of the human ear would turn pink in a stuffy environment, and Qin Muchen’s ears looked exactly like that right now.

Upon hearing her question, Qin Muchen’s face grew even darker, but he did not demand her to leave again. Instead, he picked up a document and began reading it, looking as though nothing had happened. “Yeah.”

Having gotten his answer, Su Ziyue walked toward a window and opened it up. Qin Muchen exhaled secretly and turned the inverted document upright. Then, he reached out his hand to touch his ear, which did feel slightly warm.

God would know why his heartbeat accelerated and why his ears turned pink when Su Ziyue asked him that question just now. His pink ears had always been one of his hidden characteristics; apart from his mother, no one else knew that his ears would turn pink whenever he was nervous. He hadn’t been in

such a situation for many years, but never did he expect his ears to turn pink at a simple question from Su Ziyue. However, he dared not let her know the actual reason behind his ears turning pink.

Su Ziyue opened all the windows inside the study and came back to find that Qin Muchen’s ears were no longer pink. She then walked up to him with a smile and sat down. Cupping her chin in her hand, she took a pen with her other hand nonchalantly and asked in a tentative manner, “Did Mr. Nan come to send the new divorce agreement earlier?” She was full of doubt as she asked that question, feeling both a little guilty and uneasy at the same time.

Qin Muchen wasn’t a person who made decisions on a whim, and he certainly wouldn’t change his mind easily once came to a decision. Therefore, she needed to get a firm answer from him.

Qin Muchen’s face darkened at once. With a cold expression on his face, he stared at Su Ziyue icily, giving her the creeps. Su Ziyue raised herself up and put the pen in her hand down. Then, she withdrew her hands and jutted out her chin. “Even if he sends the new divorce agreement over, I’m not going to sign it!” She straightened her neck and stared at Qin Muchen. If he dared to say anything that displeased her, she would pounce on him and bite him to death.

Qin Muchen seemed to be pleased by her words as he squinted at her for a long time. Then, he lowered his head and continued to read the document in his hands while saying, “I won’t let you sign it even if you want to.”

Su Ziyue couldn’t help but feel a surge of happiness within her upon hearing him say so. She was immensely pleased, yet she assumed a calm expression and asked, “Why?”

Qin Muchen stopped flipping the document’s pages and paused for a moment. Then, he looked up at

her with a serious look on his face and said, “It won’t be that easy to take half of my wealth away.”

Su Ziyue was rendered speechless by his answer—it was beyond her expectations. She looked at him with a sneer and said, “Why did you get married in the first place if you treasure your assets and fortune so much? After all, you’ll have to get divorced after getting married. Isn’t it better to keep a few mistresses instead?”

“Don’t say that anymore in the future.” Qin Muchen still looked a little grim even though he knew that she only said those words to vent her anger.

Su Ziyue was about to say something else, but Qin Muchen’s phone rang right at that moment. Therefore, she could only bite her lip and wait while Qin Muchen answered his phone. Qin Muchen spent quite some time on the phone. By the time he hung up, he looked a little distant; nobody knew what was on his mind right then.

“What’s wrong?” asked Su Ziyue as she reached out to wave her hand before his eyes.

Qin Muchen held her hands down to keep them from moving around before him. After staring at her for a few seconds, he said, “There’s a banquet tonight, and we’ll be attending it together.”

“What banquet is that?”

“That’s not important. We just have to eat and drink at the banquet, that’s all,” Qin Muchen answered in a casual tone, reassuring Su Ziyue a little.

She had been taken to banquets by her dad when she was very little. Labeled as the second daughter of the Su Family, she was both pure and beautiful at the time, and was showered with flattery wherever

she went. However, after her dad was gone, the Su Family never gave her the opportunity to attend any banquets after that.

In Liu Zipei’s words, a person like her would only lose face and be ignored by everyone if she attended those banquets. However, they did not know that she really did not care much about attending such banquets; banquets were simply used by seekers of fame and wealth to make friends with other influential people, and she had much simpler needs in life after having suffered two misfortunes while growing up.

…

That night, Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen attended the banquet dressed in splendid attire. The banquet was being held at Lumiere Jade House. After all, there was no place posher in Yunzhou City than the clubhouse that could bring out the status of the banquet’s organizer.

Both Bai Jingshu and Nan Chuan were at the entrance when Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen arrived at Lumiere Jade House. As Su Ziyue stepped closer toward them, she finally realized that someone was hiding behind Bai Jingshu. She called, “An Xia?”

An Xia wanted to continue hiding behind Bai Jingshu at first, but she knew that hiding would be useless when she heard Su Ziyue calling her name. Bai Jingshu turned around and dragged An Xia out from behind him in a rough manner, forcefully grabbing her wrist and yanking her to the front.

“Hey, can’t you be a little more gentle with me? I’m wearing a dress today!” complained An Xia in displeasure after being dragged out.

“I’m only gentle toward women. Do you think that you are a woman after you put on a dress?” Bai

Jingshu let out a cold sneer as he continued, “You picked this dress even though you can’t wear a tube top gown with your flat chest.”

Su Ziyue couldn’t help but turn to look at An Xia’s gown upon hearing his words; it was only then did she notice that An Xia’s tube top gown did not seem to sit nicely on her. However, Su Ziyue couldn’t let her friend down. Furthermore, her impression of Bai Jingshu worsened a lot after the incident last night.

“I think An Xia looks nice in this dress.” She walked up to An Xia and touched the latter’s waist while saying, “What a slim waist you have.”

Bai Jingshu’s gaze then fell upon An Xia’s waist. After glancing at it with rapt attention, he also thought that her waist was quite slim. Hence, he couldn’t help but reach out his hand in an attempt to touch her waist as well.

As soon as his hand moved closer to An Xia, Su Ziyue slapped it away loudly. “What are you groping at?”

Bai Jingshu quickly withdrew his hand as an awkward look flashed across his face, but he was unwilling to lose face in front of the flat-chested girl. “Does she even have a waist? Her waist is the same size as her chest.”

“Bai Jingshu, don’t forget that it was you who asked me to be your companion.”

“Madam An Xia, do you have a bad memory? It was you who volunteered to be my companion because you wanted to thank me for helping you that day!”

“I’m still a young woman, so please call me Miss An Xia! If you call me Madam again, I will beat you to

death!” said An Xia while waving her fist at him.

Qin Muchen, who had been silent all the while, intercepted just in time and said, “That’s enough. Let’s go inside.”

Both Bai Jingshu and An Xia fell silent after Qin Muchen spoke; they obediently walked inside hand-in- hand like kids who had just been reprimanded by an adult.
