Chapter 53
Su Ziyue was silent for two seconds before she quietly released her hand.
An Xia was right; she couldn’t refute her at all.
As soon as Su Ziyue let go, An Xia rushed over in a manner that showed how she wanted to fight to the end with Bai Jingshu.
Bai Jingshu jumped behind Qin Muchen, poking his head out to look at An Xia. “I won’t beat a woman, so don’t you come nearer.”
An Xia faked a smile and said, “Very well, I will beat you then. Don’t fight back.”
“What an unreasonable woman!” Bai Jingshu had never met a woman who was so violent and unreasonable like An Xia.
Fortunately, there were not many people on the floor of the president’s office. Otherwise he would be laughed at by the others.
Qin Muchen tilted his head to look at Bai Jingshu’s hand that was on his shoulder with a gloomy expression. “Get off me.”
Bai Jingshu immediately let go. After knowing Qin Muchen for so many years, he knew that he had a lot of weird habits, and one of them was that he didn’t like being touched by others.
As soon as Bai Jingshu let go, An Xia had nothing to fear anymore.
Bai Jingshu ran away. “Don’t come after me, you flat-chested girl. How about I treat you and Su Ziyue to a meal?”
“Really?” An Xia stopped.
Bai Jingshu nodded repeatedly. “Of course!”
Right after he finished speaking, he suddenly widened his mouth and jumped around while holding up one of his legs.
Qin Muchen gracefully retracted his long leg that he had just used to kick Bai Jingshu and said in a flat voice, “Call her Mrs. Qin!”
Bai Jingshu jumped up to Su Ziyue. “Mrs. Qin, your husband kicked me.”
Pretending not to hear him, Su Ziyue turned around and walked toward the elevator.
Just a bunch of lunatics!
In the end, An Xia helped Bai Jingshu, who had been kicked hard by Qin Muchen, to the restaurant.
…
An Xia chose Lumiere Jade House as the place for them to have lunch.
Su Ziyue had initially wanted to remind her that Qin Muchen was the boss behind Lumiere Jade House.
However, when they entered Lumiere Jade House, she met Nan Chuan as they made their way in. She then heard Qin Muchen whispering to Nan Chuan, “Don’t give any discounts to Jingshu later. Also, charge the discounted dishes at the original price.”
Nan Chuan nodded with a weird expression on his face. When he saw Su Ziyue, his eyes lit up and he grinned enthusiastically. “You are here, Mrs. Qin!”
After what had happened last time, Nan Chuan understood a profound truth; it seemed that pleasing Mrs. Qin would make the boss feel better.
“Mr. Nan has quite a poor memory.” Su Ziyue meant the day when she asked Nan Chuan to call her ‘Miss Su’.
The smile on Nan Chuan’s face vanished as he nodded at Qin Muchen. “Mr. Qin, I have to go as I have something to do.”
“Alright,” Qin Mu replied lightly in acknowledgement, as if he was in a good mood.
At the dining table, Bai Jingshu and An Xia almost got into a fight over food, but due to Qin Muchen’s presence as a ‘walking tranquilizer’, the two didn’t fight.
After the meal, the four of them parted ways.
Su Ziyue and An Xia only came out after Qin Muchen and Bai Jingshu left.
Su Ziyue found it strange that although An Xia usually had a carefree personality and was a little rude, she had a sense of propriety in everything.
Su Ziyue asked her, “Why can’t you get along with Bai Jingshu?”
“He provoked me first; he said I was a flat-chested girl!” As An Xia said that, she squeezed her chest with a serious look on her face. “I obviously have an A-cup. Therefore, I’m not entirely flat-chested.”
Su Ziyue raised the corners of her lips and said, “You and Bai Jingshu may be arch-enemies.”
“What about you and the boss of LK Group? What are you two? He is rich and handsome, and you will get a lot of alimony after divorce.”
An Xia counted with her fingers, only realizing that Su Ziyue’s expression was off after she finished speaking.
“I will find a suitable opportunity to divorce him. As for the alimony, I don’t need it.”
“Why not?” An Xia wrinkled her nose. “If I were you, I would either sleep with him for nothing, or divorce him and ask for a lot of alimony.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“I married him because the situation was urgent at the time. When he lived with me, he was thoughtful and considerate like an ordinary man. I didn’t expect that he would be the boss behind Lumiere Jade House, and also the president of LK Group. With such an identity, he can get anything he wants, but why did he come to me?”
The smile on An Xia’s face disappeared. “How is that so?”
“Why do you think he came to me?” Su Ziyue asked her back.
An Xia thought for a while. “I think he may have met you before and has a crush on you.”
“In that case, I will assume that he has a crush on me and likes me, so why didn’t he come to pursue me openly? Instead, he…” had a sexual relationship with me and then moved into my life.
Listening to Su Ziyue’s words, An Xia couldn’t find an explanation for it. “I think he is quite serious about you now.”
“Indeed, I am very grateful to him from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to him, I was able to get my shares back. These things are difficult for me to do, but for him, it is easier than moving his fingers.”
There was a self-deprecating smile on Su Ziyue’s face. “It’s nothing for someone like him to use power and money to help someone; he has a lot of it, but it’s much harder to show sincerity. After my dad went to jail, I had a bad life in the Su Family; I had to rely on myself for everything, and now, I’m only left with myself. If I get serious with him, I’ll consign myself to perdition. I am now stopping the damage in time.”
Listening to Su Ziyue talking about this, An Xia also became serious.
“He has been having ill-intentions since he approached me. I don’t know about his identity, his age, his birth, everything about him... However, he is very good to me, and everyone has a selfish mentality, right? I am very greedy for his kindness to me. Today, after knowing that he is the president of LK Group, I can finally give up completely.”
After that, Su Ziyue sighed heavily. On the other hand, An Xia listened silently and didn’t know what to say, so she just stopped talking.
She and Su Ziyue had been classmates from junior high to high school. Although they hadn’t been together for four years when they were in university, the Su Ziyue whom she knew had never changed.
She was beautiful, but she had always kept her integrity, stayed alert all the time, and also would not trust others easily.
Su Ziyue composed her emotions and took An Xia to the side of the road. “Let’s go find a place to have a cup of coffee. We’re not going back to the company.”
“We’re not going back to the company?” An Xia was dragged away by her.
“Yeah. The old man just wants me to strike the deal; he doesn’t actually care whether I am in the company or not.” Su Ziyue flagged down a taxi as she spoke.
After spending the whole afternoon at a café with An Xia, Su Ziyue took a taxi home and collected her car.
Her car was sent for service, and she had been too busy to get it back. Now that she needed to go to work, it was more convenient for her if she got her car back.
When she drove to her apartment, she saw a Bentley parked on the side of the road.
She lived in a middle-class neighborhood, so there weren’t many people around there who could afford
a Bentley.
When she got to the door of her house, she knew exactly who owned the car.
“What are you doing here?”
Qin Muchen was even carrying some groceries in his hands, looking like he had just arrived.
“You don’t know how to cook, and it’s not good to always order delivery.” Qin Muchen’s tone couldn’t be plainer; it was as if their relationship was still the same as before and nothing had happened.
