Marry Me Quick

Chapter 76

Mu Ninghui’s leg, which was injured by Qin Muchen, was no different to being crippled because it could not offer any support to his body.

Therefore, he could not get to his feet after collapsing to the floor and getting punched by Su Ziyue.

Of course he was incensed to bump into the culprit who had crippled his leg.

Qin Muchen only gave him a nonchalant glance; obviously, he did not take him seriously at all.

Instead, he looked up at Su Ziyue and sized her up before asking her, “Have you had enough?”

Su Ziyue sprung away from him as though she had just gotten an electric shock before nodding at him, looking slightly dazed.

As she was quiet, Qin Muchen walked to the wash basin to wash his hands. “Carry on,” he said.

Then, he turned around and was ready to go.

Su Ziyue too hastily dashed out. She did not want to give Mu Ninghui any excuse to trouble her again.

The two left the male restroom one after another.

Being a tall man with long legs, Qin Muchen’s strides were large which enabled him to walk fast.

After checking behind her back cautiously, Su Ziyue scurried to catch up with him.

Qin Muchen could not help but slow down when he heard rapid and light footsteps behind him.

…

Su Ziyue had no idea why he suddenly slowed his pace. When she reached the door of her private room, she thought of how he had closed his car window during their chance encounter on the motorway last time.

At first, she thought of turning around to greet him but decided against it in the end. Instead, she trotted forward and pushed open the door of the private room and directly walked inside.

Her sudden movement caused Qin Muchen to stop in his tracks. He looked displeased with a frown on his forehead.

It had been a week since they last saw each other. Although they did not have an intimate relationship with each other, they were at least work partners. Shouldn’t she at least say something to him?

Qin Muchen pulled a long face at that thought. Still, he turned around and checked his back to make sure Mu Ninghui did not catch up with them before continuing on his way.

When he reached the level where his office was situated, he caught Nan Chuan and An Xia absorbed in a conversation.

Qin Muchen walked over and asked him, “Where’s the beef?”

“It’s here.”

Nan Chuan lifted a cage, and the Border Collie puppy staggered and stumbled because of the movement.

“Wow, I didn’t notice that the dog was here at all!” An Xia exclaimed, and her eyes lit up with excitement. Girls indeed tended to adore small and furry animals.

After glancing at the puppy, Qin Muchen asked An Xia, “Do you think the puppy looks similar to her?”

“Huh?” An Xia was confused for several seconds because she was too thrilled that the great Mr. Qin had initiated a conversation with her about something other than work.

Therefore, she questioned, “May I know who you’re referring to?”

Qin Muchen frowned in response to her question before walking away.

It was only after he walked into his office did Nan Chuan tell her in a hushed tone, “He was referring to Miss Su.”

“Huh?” An Xia did not understand him, but Nan Chuan did not explain further.

Qin Muchen returned to his office, but all he could think about was how Su Ziyue had returned to the private room directly without talking to him at all earlier.

The thought put him in a bad mood. After shuffling some documents on the desk in front of him, he

gave Nan Chuan a call. “Get your ass inside here,” he demanded.

Nan Chuan had no choice but to enter his room after receiving his call.

An Xia, who was observing him when he took his boss’s call, looked bewildered. “Why does he have to call you into his office instead of just giving his instructions to you just now?”

Chuckling, Nan Chuan thought his boss was just jealous of him because he got to chat with a pretty young girl who had taken the initiative to flirt with him.

If he was not mistaken, it had been a week since his boss last met Miss Su and last talked about her.

They seemed to be having some sort of row again.

After Nan Chuan went into Qin Muchen’s office, An Xia returned to the private room.

…

Inside the private room, Su Ziyue sat on the sofa, sipping a glass of wine. Judging from how listless she looked, it was obvious that she was not in high spirits.

Several men, who were eyeing her keenly, seemed to be interested in hitting on her.

Although Su Ziyue did not really have a good reputation in the city, her successful performance in the company was obvious to everyone, and she did not seem like how the rumors had portrayed her to be at all.

Moreover, not only was she good-looking, she was also the president’s granddaughter. One would not suffer a loss by dating her.

At that juncture, An Xia came back.

“How was your chat with Nan Chuan? I noticed that you’ve been very close to him recently. Are you interested in him?”

Su Ziyue changed her posture to turn her head sideways to face An Xia, and she was greeted by An Xia’s face which was radiant with joy as she had expected. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

An Xia, who was covering her face, said shyly, “I think Nan Chuan is interested in me too.”

Su Ziyue responded with a disdainful snort. “Are you sure he’s interested in you? Bai Jingshu is the one who’s more likely to be interested in you.”

“Oh please, I couldn’t care less whether that chicken is interested in me or not!” An Xia glared at Su Ziyue, looking as though she was ready to fight her.

At the moment, the door of the private room was opened before a man was seen walking inside.

Su Ziyue fixed her gaze on the man and found his face familiar—he was the assistant of the department manager.

The assistant made his way directly to Su Ziyue and told her, “Miss Su, the people from LK just gave our manager a call, saying that there’s some problem with the joint venture program with us. Our manager has welcomed LK’s representees in Room 7027 and they’re waiting for you now.”

Astonishment flashed across Su Ziyue’s face as soon as she heard him. “Shouldn’t they call me directly first to discuss the problem with me?”

That was to say, she did not receive their call just now. Still, she wondered why they had decided to call the department manager first.

“The problem came out of the blue. They’ll explain when you’re there.” There was nothing unusual about the assistant’s tone which was imbued with some urgency.

The department manager was a middle-aged lady who usually did things strictly according to rules.

If she was really involved, it was likely that LK’s representees were really here.

As she had been working on the joint venture with LK Group around the clock for the past fortnight, she really could not see what kind of problem could arise.

An Xia got to her feet from the sofa and offered, “I’ll come along with you.”

Su Ziyue, who was still feeling doubtful, sized the assistant up to find that his eyes were clear with nothing to hide.

After being stitched up by Su Yige several times, she had learned to be cautious.

An Xia, who was standing beside her, tugged at her sleeves. “Let’s go and have a look first.”

“Miss Su, let’s head over there now.” With that, the assistant walked in front of them to lead the way.

When they reached Room 7027, Su Ziyue and An Xia looked inside and happened to catch sight of the department manager as soon as the assistant pushed the door open.

She was sitting with her face facing the door while the other two people present had their backs facing the door.

Therefore, the department manager waved at Su Ziyue as she could see her as soon as she looked up.

Su Ziyue felt relieved to see that the department manager was inside.

Without thinking too much, she and An Xia walked into the private room, but the door was then immediately slammed shut behind them.

Both Su Ziyue and Anxia were frightened by the sound of it.

The department manager, who kept smiling at Su Ziyue, did not move from her original spot while the other two people turned around to face her.

Her heart sank when she realized they were not LK’s representees at all.

When she turned around and tried to open the door, it would not budge as though it had just been welded to the door frame.

“Miss Su, please have a seat. Why’re you standing by the door?” The department manager slowly got to her feet and made her way toward them.
