Marry Me Quick

Chapter 32

“The sky has cleared up!”

Su Ziyue walked out of the hospital. As she bathed herself in the warm sunlight, her initially depressed mood improved a lot.

Qin Muchen walked next to her as sunlight shone on his face, adding several highlights to it. His tall body was wrapped in an enigmatic-looking black shirt.

Upon hearing Su Ziyue’s words, he looked up and glanced at the sun above him. Then, he turned to look at her, asking, “What family gathering was she talking about?”

“Uh…” Su Ziyue hesitated for a moment. She was a bit uncertain of what Qin Muchen meant by asking that question. After what had happened last night, she had a subtle change of mind; she did not want to provoke Qin Muchen.

She answered, “It’s a simple family gathering. Everyone in the family is always busy, so they must set aside a day each month to gather together at home for dinner, which is why I was informed as well.”

The family tradition had been going on for many years, but it had nothing to do with her.

“Will you attend the gathering?” Qin Muchen nodded. He bowed his head to look at the steps in front of him before walking down a step.

Su Ziyue looked at the side of his face, which was beautifully outlined in sunlight. She asked tentatively,

“Would you like to attend the gathering with me?”

Qin Muchen looked back to squint at her. “I’m more than pleased to do that.”

Su Ziyue’s compressed lips curled into a smile as the two of them left together.

...

That night, Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen went to the Su Family mansion together.

Qin Muchen was still driving that eye-catching Rolls-Royce.

Su Ziyue sat in the passenger seat and scanned the decorations inside the car while clutching her seat belt. “Why haven’t you returned the car to your friend?”

“He is never short of cars.” Qin Muchen gazed straight ahead without looking back.

“Did you borrow money from that friend of yours to pay for that bottle of wine as well? Wouldn’t it be too much trouble for your friend…” Su Ziyue bowed her head without realizing it as she spoke of the incident.

Qin Muchen finally turned to look at her with a hint of joy in his eyes. “It seems that I have given him quite a bit of trouble indeed. I’ll return the car to him some other day.”

“I was just asking.” Su Ziyue had no intention of minding Qin Muchen’s business since it was his friend that they were talking about.

Qin Muchen spoke no more, and it was silent inside the car until they arrived at the gates of the Su Family mansion a little while later.

“Welcome home, Miss Ziyue.” The sharp-eyed gatekeeper immediately came over to greet Su Ziyue when he saw her stepping out of the Rolls-Royce.

Su Ziyue glanced at the gatekeeper expressionlessly before entering the house while holding Qin Muchen’s hand.

All members of the Su Family were there when they entered the living room.

Su Ziyue walked straight up to Su Youcheng. “Hi, Grandpa.”

Su Youcheng, who was listening to Su Yuanming, merely raised his eyelid to dart his eyes at Su Ziyue. “Uh-huh.”

Suddenly, his expression changed when his eyes swept across Qin Muchen, who was standing next to Su Ziyue.

Su Ziyue immediately spoke before he turned hostile. “Grandpa, this is Muchen.”

“Hi, Grandpa.” Qin Muchen stepped forward and nodded his head, looking as polite as possible. “I am Qin Muchen. I’m sorry that I haven’t paid you a visit.”

Su Youcheng could sense the outstanding charisma of the handsome young man despite the latter standing in front of him humbly and politely. He couldn’t help but frown when he recalled the

information about Qin Muchen that Su Yige had told him.

“Since you have come, please have a seat.” Su Youcheng withdrew his gaze. Obviously, he did not think highly of Qin Muchen.

Su Ziyue pressed her lips together as a hint of mockery flashed across her eyes.。

She had predicted long ago that such a situation would happen; Su Youcheng was lukewarm to her, so it was already considered good that he was willing to pay a little attention to Qin Muchen.

She and Qin Muchen walked to another side and sat down. As soon as they sat down, they heard Su Youcheng scolding, “It’s fine if you’re not staying at home, but have you lost your courtesy? Don’t you know to address your elders?”

Su Ziyue’s expression changed; she really wanted to stand up immediately and walk out, but she couldn’t do so.

She stopped Qin Muchen from standing up and stood up alone. Then, she walked up to the other members of the family with an expressionless face before saying icily, “Hi, Uncle Yuanming, Aunt Lingyu, Grandma, and Yige.”

To these people, Su Yige was a thorn in their flesh. They felt a little uncomfortable upon watching Su Ziyue greeting them expressionlessly right now.

“Don’t be angry, Grandpa. Ziyue rarely comes home.” Su Yige immediately stood up and acted like a peacemaker by soothing Su Youcheng while pouring him a cup of tea.

As expected, Su Youcheng’s expression eased a little as he took the cup of tea from her. Su Ziyue sneered inwardly, but her face took on a gentle expression. “In that case, I’ll try my best to come and stay at home in the future.”

“You should have come to stay at home more often in the first place. Do you think that it is proper for the second daughter of the Su Family to stay outside alone for a long time? Other people will think that our family has been mistreating you if word gets out about that!”

Su Ziyue deliberately said what she said to spite them because she knew that no one in the Su Family really wanted her to stay at home. To her surprise, judging from the forceful tone in Su Youcheng’s words, he really wanted her to move back home.

“I want to keep you company as much as possible too, but how can a married granddaughter stay at her parents’ home?” As soon as Su Ziyue finished her sentence, she paused and turned to look at Qin Muchen.

Su Ziyue knew deep down inside that she would be ripped into shreds by the others if she really were to move back into the Su Family mansion.

“Do you think that it’s proper for a lady to keep talking about herself being married? Stay at home tonight, and stay at home from now on.”

Su Ziyue sensed that something was wrong with Su Youcheng’s words; she was about to speak when Su Youcheng spoke again, this time to Qin Muchen. “Please don’t laugh at us, Mr. Qin. This granddaughter of mine has always been naughty and immature. Mr. Qin, sorry for troubling you to look after her these days. Feel free to tell me if you need anything in Yunzhou City in the future.”

Not only did Su Youcheng imply that he regarded Qin Muchen as an outsider, but he also regarded his marriage with Su Ziyue as one of her so-called ‘immature’ acts. Furthermore, he spoke the last sentence in a condescending tone.

In other words, he wanted Qin Muchen to split with Su Ziyue, as well as keep secret that they had officially registered their marriage.

Upon hearing his words, Qin Muchen glanced at Su Youcheng with a half-smile. His calm countenance and noble demeanor served as a contrast to Su Youcheng’s overbearing manner.

Su Ziyue was stunned on the spot; it was Su Youcheng who had threatened her to get married in the first place, but now it was him who was forcing them to split.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails sank deep into her tender palm, but she couldn’t feel any pain.

She turned to look at Qin Muchen as her eyes involuntarily took on a worried look.

Even though she had not spent much time with him, she could sense his inherent pride and nobleness. He probably couldn’t stand Su Youcheng saying that to him in such an overbearing manner.

Much to her surprise, Qin Muchen gave her a reassuring smile.”

Su Ziyue was slightly relieved. She looked up at Su Youcheng and said, “You’re right, Grandpa. I have always been naughty and immature, and he has been looking after me. I will mend my ways and get along well with him in the future. Thank you for your advice, Grandpa.”

Su Youcheng’s face was livid with rage when he heard Su Ziyue’s words. He felt that he had lost face; not only did an impudent penniless brat make little of what he had said, but his granddaughter had also treated his words lightly.

At any rate, he must make Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen divorce each other that day.

Su Youcheng stood up with a stony face. “Follow me to the study!”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
