Chapter 145

When the assistant left, Gong Zeyang said, "You should go to your meeting."

Su Ziyue looked at the empathetic expression on his face and she suddenly felt disgusted. She didn't even bother to give him a response before she left directly.

It was the first meeting held after Su Yuanming's return to the headquarters. As people would say, a new broom sweeps clean, or to be more exact, Su Yuanming used to work in the headquarters, so technically, it was not a new promotion. At most, it was a consolidation of his stand as a vice president.

He was now considered the person that came right after Su Youcheng in the company.

Su Ziyue was early. After she went into the room, she sat quietly waiting for the meeting to begin.

When Su Yuanming came in, Su Ziyue was the first person he noticed among the others.

Similar to her imprisoned father, she would catch the attention of others no matter where she went.

He seemed unhappy as he knitted his brows and walked over. "Meeting starts now."

When the meeting ended, Su Ziyue's expression was dark.

Su Yuanming had assigned her a heavy task. Needless to say, she would have to work overtime in the coming month, and even so, she might still not be able to achieve the goal.

"Ziyue, work hard. I have faith in you!" Su Yuanming noticed that her expression was off, so he patted her on the shoulder and spoke calmly with a loving tone.

Su Ziyue merely put on a cold smile as she said, "Alright, I shall try my best."

"That's the spirit! I can now rest assured with your promise." Su Yuanming smiled. "Everyone, let's work hard together."

Su Ziyue looked somewhat exhausted as she headed back to her office. When she realized that Gong Zeyang had left, she felt better.

The task Su Yuanming assigned to her was a little heavy, so she decided to stay back from this day onward.

Su Ziyue was overwhelmed with her workload, so she naturally ended up forgetting about some things, for instance, her promise with Qin Muchen to get back home early after work.

When Qin Michen came home to realize there was no one in the villa, his face sank immediately.

Great. It seems like my wife hadn't taken my words seriously.

When Qin Muchen went in and saw the scene, the expression on this face which was already awful became downright frightening.

The floor mat was teared into several pieces and the shoes were all over the place.

The living room was so messy that it was as if it had been robbed.

The troublemaker came running toward Qin Muchen as soon as it saw him, then it ran around him and whined, completely forgetting about what Qin Muchen had done to him on the previous day.

"Beef." Qin Muchen looked at it, his tone cold and scary.

The dog whined.

Beef sat up obediently, afraid to move, its black sparkly eyes stared at Qin Muchen innocently.

"Still not admitting your mistakes?"

Qin Muchen's eyebrows were knitted tightly as he squatted down in front of Beef. "No one will be protecting you today."

Beef leaned in closer and licked Qin Muchen's face with an audible slurp, then it rubbed its head on his body.

Qin Muchen squatted stiffly on the floor. After a while, he stretched out his hand slowly and when he was about to touch Beef, he retracted his hand suddenly.

Beef seemed to have felt a sense of danger, as he shrank back and hid in a corner, carefully watching Qin Muchen.

In the end, the man who dumped him on the previous day merely looked calm and went upstairs to take a shower. Then, he came downstairs to clean the living room.

Beef followed behind the whole time; when he picked up a shoe, it would bite it again. At last, Qin Muchen gave it a fierce glance, which frightened it to put down the shoe.

Qin Muchen was halfway through cleaning the living room when Nan Chuan arrived.

He looked at the mess in the living room and laughed unapologetically. "Beef is quite the demolisher."

When Beef was brought home, Nan Chuan often took care of him, so it was familiar with Nan Chuan.

It ran in front of Nan Chuan, lifting its paws and leaning on him.

Nan Chuan squatted and picked Beef up as he rubbed its head. "You're so happy. Did you understand I was praising you?"

As those words came out, Nan Chuan could feel a cold stare coming from his boss.

Nan Chuan shivered all over, then he put down Beef and took the things he brought into the house. "Boss, here are the things you wanted me to bring."

"Leave them there." Qin Muchen merely gave him a simple reply as he was still busy tidying the living room, and he didn't mention anything else.

Nan Chuan brought over the fresh vegetables and meat from Lumiere Jade House. Nan Chuan only found out that Su Ziyue was not at home after he had settled everything nicely.

"Mrs. Qin... hasn't come back?"

Qin Muchen replied without raising his head, "You can go home now."

Nan Chuan rubbed his nose and thought, Okay, I won't ask what I wasn't supposed to ask.

After Qin Muchen was done tidying the living room, he took everything Nan Chuan brought to the kitchen. When he finished making dinner, it was already 8 o'clock at night, but Su Ziyue had yet to come home.

Qin Muchen returned to the living room and picked up his phone. When he was about to dial a number, a thought came to his mind suddenly and he stopped what he was doing.

He raised his eyes and noticed that Beef was playing on its own.

"Beef," Qin Muchen called. Beef turned around sharply and looked at Qin Muchen. Then, it sprinted toward him.

Qin Muchen arched an eyebrow, as he appeared to be satisfied. "Sit."

Beef sat down obediently in front of him, looking innocent. Qin Muchen thought when Beef behaved like this, it was quite pleasant looking.

Qin Muchen looked at it with a stern look. "Tell me, should I call your mom?"

Beef tilted its head and looked at Qin Muchen, apparently confused. When Beef met his gaze, it tilted his head again and continued to stare at him.

Qin Muchen knitted his eyebrows; he thought that he must have gone insane to have asked a dog the question.

However, in the next moment, he continued, "I've asked her to come back earlier, but it's already late and she still hasn't returned. She did not take my words to heart. Should I be angry at her?"

Beef responded with a whine.

Qin Muchen's brows furrowed tighter as he paused for a moment. "Since you miss her already, let's look for her at the office."

As he finished speaking, he took Beef out and drove to Su Group.

Su Ziyue was so occupied that she had forgotten to eat. When she came round, she realized that it was almost 8 o'clock, and she felt slightly hungry.

Someone knocked on the door and came right in. She heard Gong Zeyang's voice before she even raised her head. "Ziyue."

Su Ziyue looked at him impatiently. "Why are you here again?" Is he having premarital anxiety because he will be marrying Su Yige soon? Is that why he visits me two to three times a day?

Gong Zeyang heard the words and his expression changed slightly, but his tone was still gentle as he said, “I have been waiting at the door for half an hour and I still did not see you coming out. After asking around, I only found out that you are working late, so I brought you supper." With that, he put the supper he had brought for Su Ziyue in front of her. "Eat."
