Chapter 103

Qin Muchen reached his hands out after he finished talking, wanting to tuck her in and let her lie back down.

However, the moment his arms extended in front of her, Su Ziyue slapped them away.

Qin Muchen's expression immediately changed. He stared coldly at her and repeated himself, "Sleep."

"I told you I don't feel like sleeping." Su Ziyue did not know what was happening to her, but she just felt an inexplicable sense of irritation.

How dare she talk back to me?

Qin Muchen's expression turned cold; he then unexpectedly extended his arms toward her neck. Su Ziyue, who had kept challenging him just now, shut her eyes as she seemed like she was about to lean over

Qin Muchen reached his hands out just in time to catch her. He then helped her change to a better position before tucking her in, letting her fall asleep.

The moment he tucked her in, the phone beside Su Ziyue's bed started ringing.

Qin Muchen then grabbed the phone to have a look at who the caller was.

Seeing that it was An Xia, he answered the call.

"Ziyue, why are you still not at work yet? Is it because you and Mr. Qin were too..."

An Xia was talking so excitedly but a cold voice cut her off. "Miss An, please help Su Ziyue to apply for leave. She won't be going to work today."

"Huh?" An Xia replied in a puzzled manner. However, she suddenly realized that it was Qin Muchen's voice, so she let out a scream before hanging up the call.

Was it Mr. Qin who answered the call? More importantly, what did I just say to him?

No, I did not say anything at all; I only managed to finish half of my sentence. Mr. Qin seems like an upright person, so he shouldn't understand what I meant just now.

After comforting herself in such a way, An Xia called the phone once again.

Looking at the phone which he had hung up earlier, Qin Muchen furrowed his brows. Then, the phone rang again and An Xia's voice had become much gentler. "Mr. Qin, did you say that Ziyue isn't coming to work today? Did something happen to her?"

"She's feeling unwell. Sorry to trouble you, Miss An." Qin Muchen politely answered with two sentences before hanging up the call.

He was afraid that someone else would call the phone again and wake Su Ziyue up so he immediately switched her phone off. After placing it by the bed, he turned around and left the room.

The moment he closed the bedroom door, Qin Muchen heard the doorbell ring.

When he went downstairs to answer the door, it was Bai Jingshu.

The latter came in and asked right away, "Is Su Ziyue alright?"

Qin Muchen gave him a glare, clearly feeling displeased with the way Bai Jingshu had addressed Su Ziyue.

"Is my sister-in-law alright?" Bai Jingshu rolled his eyes. It was weird for him to address Su Ziyue as his sister-in-law so formally.

Qin Muchen then turned away and headed to the kennel. Beef had been kicked by Su Ziyue so he wanted to check up on the puppy now.

Recalling Su Ziyue's unbearable expression, Qin Muchen knitted his brows; his tone turned nasty as he said, "You can try giving yourself an injection, then you'll know if she's alright."

Hearing this, Bai Jingshu muttered under his breath, "Snarly." Nonetheless, he did not take it to heart.

Qin Muchen then gave Beef some water and dog food. Upon seeing that Beef was eating to his heart's content, he knew that Beef was feeling fine. Thus, he turned around and went to the study room upstairs with Bai Jingshu.

"You met Gong Shuzhe last night, didn't you?" The moment Bai Jingshu entered the study room, he slouched down on the sofa and lay there sluggishly, not caring about his appearance at all.

On the other hand, Qin Muchen kept quiet all this while. He then stood up to pour Bai Jingshu and himself a glass of water.

Surprised by his kind gesture, Bai Jingshu extended his arms to take the glass of water from him.

Qin Muchen spoke up once again, but he had changed the topic instead. "Have you not found out where Su Yizi is locked up at?"

Bai Jingshu sat himself up when Qin Muchen brought this matter up. With a solemn look on his face, he replied, "I'm certain that he isn't locked up in this district, but I don't have any more detailed information."

Hearing this, Qin Muchen did not utter a word. He was holding the glass of water with one hand; there was only an inexplicable expression on his face.

"You probably had seen this coming all along. If this was plainly a criminal case, why would someone want to lock Su Yizi up at a prison which nobody knows of? Does Su Ziyue really not know where her fathe is locked up at?"

Bai Jingshu put down the glass of water and looked at Qin Muchen with a deep gaze. "However, we cannot exclude the possibility that Su Youcheng is ashamed and does not want to see Su Yizi. So, he purposely sent him to another prison."

Seeing that Qin Muchen still did not say a word, Bai Jingshu let out a sigh. "You're the one who brought up this topic. I've said so much so why don't you say something instead?"

Qin Muchen ignored Bai Jingshu's words. His mind had wandered back to that night from a long time ago when Su Ziyue mentioned her father to him for the first time.

She told him that her father was not that kind of person.

"Gathering from his previous information, Su Yizi doesn't seem like that kind of person indeed," answered Qin Muchen nonchalantly before drifting back to his thoughts.

After pondering for a moment, he then added, "Besides, this case came to a conclusion rather sudden."

Qin Muchen's expression turned sullen, seemingly as though he had suddenly remembered something. Bai Jingshu was so terrified by his expression that he gulped down the glass of water in fear.

Despite knowing Qin Muchen for so many years, he still couldn't help but feel terrified whenever he saw this expression on Muchen's face.

Qin Muchen was silent for a moment before he suddenly spoke up again. "Su Yige..."

Bia Jingshu interrupted him, "You only returned from overseas not long ago; even though you're influential, an outsider like you can't defeat a local thug. Furthermore, you have your own affairs to deal with, so don't act rashly and alert your enemies. Don't lay a finger on the Su Family first. Ziyue will learn from her experiences. Let these women resolve their matters on their own."

"How atrocious." Qin Muchen rubbed the glass that was in his hand as his gaze turned sullen.

He meant that what Su Yige had done to Su Ziyue was atrocious.

Since young, his mother had taught him to be a gentleman and a good person, but it was a pity that he had always gone against his mother's wishes.

Not only was he not a good person, he did not behave like a gentleman too.

...

After Bai Jingshu had left for quite some time, Qin Muchen expected that Su Ziyue would be waking up anytime soon, so he poured a glass of warm water before walking toward the bedroom.

Su Ziyue had woken up indeed. She was sitting on the bed, still feeling slightly dizzy.

The bedroom door opened and Qin Muchen's sturdy figure appeared in front of the door.

When he saw Su Ziyue sitting on the bed, he greeted, "You're awake."

He shut the door before walking up to Su Ziyue. Then, he handed the glass of water to her and said, "Have some water."

Su Ziyue gulped down half a glass of the water after taking it from Qin Muchen. However, she felt weak and lay back down.

Qin Muchen gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead and caressed her face. "I'm going to prepare lunch. What do you want to eat?"

"I don't feel like eating anything." Su Ziyue turned her head away and said in a low voice, "Qin Muchen."

Her voice was soft and slightly feeble. Her frown was like a knot in Qin Muchen's heart, making him feel unbearable.

However, he still put on a composed look like usual and asked, "Yes?"

"This is unbearable." Su Ziyue clenched onto the blanket as she bit her lips and continued, "If not, why don't you give me..."

"Shut up! Don't you say anything like this again!" A raging fire emerged in Qin Muchen's eyes. "Su Ziyue, think about the person who put you in this situation; you can get through this."
