Chapter 102

Lu Shichu arrived in a haste just as Qin Muchen finished the dining table. Su Ziyue then took a look at the time in a sluggish manner. "I need to head out now. If not, I'm going to be late for work."

"You don't have to go to work today." Hanging his head, Qin Muchen objected to it as well. Just then, Lu Shichu showed up.

The second he finished talking, the doorbell rang.

Qin Muchen then turned around to answer the door. Looking at him in a solemn manner, Lu Shichu asked, "Where's Ziyue?"

"Come in first." Qin Muchen turned around and walked toward Su Ziyue while Lu Shichu followed him from behind after shutting the door.

The both of them returned to the living room only to realize that there was nobody on the sofa.

Su Ziyue stumbled out of the bathroom; her face was as pale as a sheet, and she looked incredibly miserable.

Without uttering a word, Qin Muchen walked up to her and helped her to the sofa; the moment Su Ziyue sat on the sofa, she slouched down like an invertebrate.

Lu Shichu set his first aid kit aside at the sight of this and asked caringly, "Cheer up, Ziyue. Tell me where you're feeling uncomfortable."

As Lu Shichu spoke, he took a single-use syringe from the first aid kit.

Meanwhile, Qin Muchen held onto Su Ziyue, letting her rest in his embrace.

Su Ziyue was in a trance when she lifted her gaze and threw a glance at Lu Shichu. In a weak yet surprised voice, she asked, "Why are you here, Shichu?"

Hearing her call Shichu, Qin Muchen's expression turned sour, but he knew this wasn't the time to be sensitive about this.

Only a handful of people knew that Su Ziyue had been injected with drugs. If outsiders caught wind of this matter, those who were scheming against her would surely take advantage of this.

Although the injection was involuntary, people would still want to use it against her.

When Lu Shichu returned from overseas, the first thing he did was to look for him. Hence, Qin Muchen and Bai Jingshu trusted him after being acquainted with him.

"Yes. I came to see you," answered Lu Shichu in a gentle tone while rummaging through the first aid kit.

Leaning against Qin Muchen in his arms, Su Ziyue still felt uncomfortable. As she turned around, she felt nauseous and light-headed...

Putting on a somber look, Qin Muchen hugged her without uttering a word.

Su Ziyue suddenly understood why she was feeling that way. Hence, she turned her head to look at Qin Muchen and asked in a feeble voice, "Is this the side effect of the drug that I was injected with?"

"You're going to be fine." Qin Muchen replied to her with these four words in a comforting tone.

However, Su Ziyue was not consoled by his words. Instead, she became more frustrated; her body felt even more unbearable.

"Shichu, didn't you say that I would not..." be addicted to it?

Lu Shichu still had a composed look on his face. After pushing the air out of the syringe, he walked up to Su Ziyue.

Qin Muchen then helped her roll her sleeves up. After giving her the injection, Lu Shichu said, "Of course you won't get addicted; you're only experiencing some natural reactions to the drug. Don't worry-after getting through this difficult week, you'll be fine."

"What did you inject me with?" asked Su Ziyue curiously. Feeling much more relieved after the injection, she felt calmer.

"I gave you a sedative." Putting aside the syringe, he then asked, "Feeling better?"

"Yes." Su Ziyue nodded. As she slowly sat herself up, her face was still ghastly pale.

Qin Muchen who had been keeping quiet all these while spoke up at this moment. "Sit here for a moment, and I will see Doctor Lu off."

Although Su Ziyue was feeling much better, she still felt rather uncomfortable; she did not have the energy to talk to him so she could only give Lu Shichu a smile.

Lu Shichu lifted his hand, wanting to pat Su Ziyue on the head. However, Qin Muchen suddenly stood in front of Su Ziyue. "I'll see you off, Doctor Lu."

"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Qin." Lu Shichu did not turn down his offer. After setting the single-use syringe aside, he packed up his first aid kit. He then stood up and headed out.

The two men finally stopped in their tracks when they were at the main door.

"Since you came here on your own, I won't be sending you off, Doctor Lu." Qin Muchen stood there with respect, expressionless.

Lu Shichu turned his head around while knitting his brows. "Please take care of Ziyue for the next couple of days."

"She's my wife of course I'll take good care of her." Qin Muchen's eyes glistened slightly.

Lu Shichu seemed like he still had something to say as he opened his mouth, but no words came out. Just when he was about to leave, he heard Qin Muchen's voice again. "Both of you used to be neighbors; wonder if you know anything about her father, Doctor Lu."

Hearing this, Lu Shichu turned his head to look at him, his unusual gaze filled with hostility in them. "If you want to know about Ziyue's father, you should ask Ziyue, not me."

"You're right. I wouldn't be able to get an answer to a question like this from an outsider." Qin Muchen furrowed his brows as a smile flashed across his eyes; he had emphasized on the word 'outsider'.

Lu Shichu was a quick-witted man too. Thus, how could he not understand what Qin Muchen was insinuating at?

However, he simply reminded Qin Muchen, "Ziyue may experience some discomfort in the coming days."

"Alright." Even if Lu Shichu did not remind Qin Muchen, Qin Muchen still knew about it. After mingling in the business world for so many years, he had been through quite a lot.

Lu Shichu looked at Qin Muchen intently while standing still, his face expressionless. The solemnity in his soft reply was obvious, and his sincerity toward Su Ziyue was apparent.

A hint of disappointment flashed past Lu Shichu's heart at the thought of this. He did not say anything else as he turned around and got into his car.

Watching Lu Shichu's car disappear from his sight, Qin Muchen recollected himself. After pondering for a moment, he then turned around and went back inside.

The moment he walked up to the door, he heard a terrifying shriek coming from Beef.

"Su Ziyue!"

Panic filled Qin Muchen's face, and he yelled out Su Ziyue's name before walking toward the kennel.

Su Ziyue stared coldly at Beef after kicking it to the wall. As she was about to give Beef another kick, Qin Muchen came in and stopped her from doing so.

His gaze fell upon Beef who was sprawling on the floor, not daring to move a muscle. He then turned to Su Ziyue and said, "Come, let's go out."

"Oh." Su Ziyue stared coldly at him before walking toward him.

However, she suddenly turned away while walking halfway. She headed straight for Beef and gave him another vicious kick.

Qin Muchen did not expect that she would give Beef another kick but remembering what Lu Shichu had said before he left, he empathized with her and did not reprimand her. Instead, he then brought her upstairs so that she could have a good rest.

"Sleep." Qin Muchen forced Su Ziyue onto the bed before sitting next to her; he wanted to watch in order to make sure that she slept.

"I don't feel like sleeping." Su Ziyue turned around and sat herself up, looking at Qin Muchen straight in the eyes.

"Behave." Qin Muchen knew that she was feeling slightly better now because of the sedative from just now. After the effect of the sedative had worn off, she wouldn't be feeling so comfortable. Hence, he wanted her to sleep so that she would feel better.
