Chapter 185

As soon as Su Ziyue heard him, she turned to look at the bedroom and found that the bedsheets had indeed already been changed.

When did he do it?

Silently, An Xia retrieved her hands from Su Ziyue's hold and flashed her a wide grin. "I've got to go since it's getting late. Please rest early too."

No matter how slow on the uptake Su Ziyue was, she could understand that looking for the keys was just his excuse to stay.

With an icy face, she grabbed An Xia to stop her from going. "I can't allow you to go back home alone at this hour. You should just stay for the night."

An Xia turned her head away from Qin Muchen, not daring to meet his eyes.

She hoped Su Ziyue would just let her go.

If she stayed there for a second longer, she would be chilled to the bone under Qin Muchen's stare; that man was an outright human freezer!

Although the heater was switched on at full blast in the unit, it was reduced to a mere decoration in Qin Muchen's presence.

Without saying a thing, Qin Muchen fished out his phone and said to the person he had just called, "Come over and send Miss An home."

An Xia mustered up her courage to ask, "Who did you just call?"

Qin Muchen first cast a glance at Su Ziyue before answering An Xia, seemingly only for the sake that she was Su Ziyue's bestie, "Bai Jingshu. He said he's coming over here now."

"Damn it!" An Xia exclaimed before swiftly grabbing her bag. While she was on her way out, she told Su Ziyue, "Ziyue, I've gotta go now because that egomaniac will kill me!"

Prior to this, she had made a silly decision to tell him her plan to make him do a strip dance at the park on Christmas. In the end, he replied to her with a message saying, 'From now on, you'd better pray you can stay alive until Christmas.'

Yet, just as An Xia arrived at the gate of the residential area, her way was blocked by Bai Jingshu's sports car. "Hey flat-chested girl, Muchen asked me to give you a ride home. He he," he said.

Oh, f*ck off!

No matter how tumultuous her emotion was inside, An Xia still appeared as calm as a pool of still water on the outside. "Mr. Bai, you really don't have to."

An Xia wanted to make a run for it right after that but Bai Jingshu had already foreseen her move. Immediately, he opened the car door which had not been properly closed by him and got out of the car to haul her back.

Grabbing her by the collar, he pulled her toward himself and confronted her with a sly smile, "Miss An, why are you running away from me? Since we're such good friends with each other now, your safety is guaranteed as long as you're with me."

Knowing well that she was doomed, An Xia feigned calmness and shot him a vicious glare before twisting her head away from him.

Bai Jingshu pinched her cheeks bemusedly before shoving her into the car after opening the door. "An Xia, your days are over!" he said nastily.

The next instant, the luxurious sports car sped away like an arrow in flight.

"Argh-" An Xia's high-pitched shriek came shortly after.

Bai Jingshu brought the sports car to a flying speed while he threatened her, "Are you sure you still want me to do the strip dance?"

An Xia kept her eyes widely opened and glowered at him with her teeth gritted. "Obviously!" she yelled.

Bai Jingshu then curled his lips upward into an evil smirk. "Don't regret your decision."

With that, he accelerated.

Five minutes later, An Xia's quivering voice said, "Bai Jingshu, please slow down... I can't take it anymore!"

Bai Jingshu's face went rigid when he heard her. "Shut up!"

The sound of the door being closed reverberated in the condominium unit before silence was restored.

Qin Muchen broke the silence by speaking in his usual tone, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed."

After that, he turned around and made his way to the bathroom.

Su Ziyue strode forward and pulled his arm. "Wait a minute!"

Qin Muchen's pace came to a halt as he turned sideways to face her. "Yes?"

She loosened her hold on his arm and asked, "What does this mean?"

Looking at his arm which was now freed of her hold, a sense of loss seized his heart.

What does this mean?

She had just been seriously sick earlier in the morning. Even though An Xia had already taken care of her, he could only feel assured if he took care of her himself.

At the same time, he secretly scoffed at himself because all he could think of was her although she was unwilling to have kids with him.

He had been kept on edge just because she was sick.

Without answering her question directly, he merely asked her back, "Do you want to live separately?"

As though he did not want to know her answer, he said the next second, "But I don't have such a plan."

After that, he made his way straight to the bathroom.

With both hands clenched, Su Ziyue returned to the sofa with her face as pale as a sheet.

Staring blankly at the television screen on which images were flickering continuously, she could not understand the content of the show at all because her mind was left in a turmoil.

She was baffled as to the reason why her relationship with Qin Muchen had deteriorated in this way.

On that day in the presidential suite, she had wanted to offer him an explanation but he had refused to listen. The same thing had happened last night too.

The same went to the argument they had on his birthday. Without saying anything or asking any questions, he had given her the cold shoulder because he was angry.

If An Xia had not reminded her, she would not have thought that he might have gone to her office to look for her that day.

It had never occurred to her that he might have gotten the wrong idea after chancing upon Gong Zeyang in her office because she had done nothing unfaithful.

What about this time?

It could not have been just a coincidence.

As soon as the news about the cancellation of the engagement between Gong Zeyang and Su Yige started to spread, he had immediately brought her to a presidential suite, offered her a wedding ring and flowers and asked her to have kids with him all of a sudden.

If everything he had done was because of Gong Zeyang, did it mean that he had actually never believed that she loved him?

With a creak coming from behind as the door was being opened, the air inside the unit seemed to turn oppressive in an instant.

She knew Qin Muchen was walking out of the bathroom.

Slightly apprehensively, she took the television remote control and changed the channels absent-mindedly; her body went rigid as she did not dare to turn around.

However, Qin Muchen had already reached her.

Placing his large palm on her small hand, he took the remote control from her and switched off the television. "Go and take a shower," he urged in a slightly deep voice.

She moved her hands and tried to snatch the remote control back from him. "I want to watch it for a while longer."

Taking advantage of his height, Qin Muchen lifted the remote control up in the air and urged in an emotionless tone, "You should sleep early."

Su Ziyue, who could detect impatience in his voice, withdrew her hands and said, "You may go to bed first."

What did he mean by asking her to sleep early? Did he mean it literally?

Suddenly, she felt terrified about having s*x.

Due to his rough action, she was still in pain up until now. As the part that was painful was unspeakable, she could only endure it herself and didn't dare to share it with anyone else.

It seemed like there was no one she could confide in either.

That thought left her in an even fouler mood. Without responding to Qin Muchen, she rose to her feet and made her way to the bathroom.

As soon as she turned around, she saw that Qin Muchen's tall and muscular body was wrapped in... her towel.

The sight gave her a strange feeling, but she decided not to overthink it and continued her way to the bathroom because after all, that was not the first time he had used her stuff.

...

She only walked out of the bathroom after taking her own sweet time and drying her wet hair slowly inside.

Qin Muchen was leaning against the headboard with both eyes closed. The blanket was pulled upward to his waist on which he placed both hands naturally and his torso was left naked. With his black and bushy eyebrows furrowed together, his handsome face looked even more charming under the lights.

In Su Ziyue's perception, he looked harder to approach now.

Suddenly, Qin Muchen opened his eyes and his dark pupils turned to land on Su Ziyue. "Are you going to spend the entire night standing there?"
