Chapter 186

A flicker of doubt emerged on Su Ziyue's face while she tugged at the corners of her pajamas top. "Are we really just going to sleep?"

Qin Muchen raised his brows and his eyes dimmed when he answered her, "Of course. What else would you like me to do?"

Su Ziyue let out a sigh of relief secretly. Without waiting for him to speak again, she moved forward briskly, lifted the blanket and climbed into bed.

Turning sideways to look at Su Ziyue, who was lying so close to the edge of the bed as if she just couldn't wait to sleep on the floor, Qin Muchen's eyes turned cold. In the end, he thought better of making any more comments and got into bed after switching off the lights.

As the room darkened, Su Ziyue was able to relax much of the tension in her, probably because she could no longer see Qin Muchen's face. After pushing the blanket lower down, she lay on her back with her eyes widely opened in the darkness because she did not feel sleepy at all.

When she finally felt sleepy some time later and after making sure the man beside her was not moving, she relaxed, closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

But not long after, she woke up again to a start as soon as she sensed a stir beside her.

A pleasant male's voice came from the darkness. "What are you afraid of?"

You.

Clutching the blanket tightly, Su Ziyue did not make a sound.

Once again, Qin Muchen spoke, this time with impatience, "Aren't you going to talk?"

She responded to him indifferently, "I had a nightmare, that's all. I'm feeling sleepy now."

The room plunged into silence again. She had no idea when Qin Muchen fell asleep but she only managed to doze off after midnight.

Qin Muchen was not on the bed when she woke up the next morning.

Somehow, a voice in her mind prompted her to get out of the bed and make a dash toward the kitchen as soon as possible; she did not even bother to put on her slippers.

The dining table was empty.

After rummaging through the kitchen, she found nothing.

Inside the fridge, there was no trace of food other than the ingredients which An Xia and her had bought yesterday and some unfinished dishes.

Qin Muchen did not prepare breakfast.

She checked the time and found that it was nine in the morning.

How enigmatic and unpredictable did one have to be in order to have the ability to control one's feelings and emotions so well?

Although Qin Muchen usually kept his emotions hidden, she could still feel his love during the time he treated her well.

But she could no longer feel it from what had taken place over the past few days.

Was he really tired of her?

Su Ziyue spent a long time sitting on the bed in a daze before going to the bathroom to wash up.

She felt a bit better after that.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror which looked awful, she let out a lengthy breath, thinking that the worst that could happen was getting a divorce. In fact, it was not too big a deal because she could even get a share of his wealth after that.

That was what she told herself. While she was putting on makeup, she dialed An Xia's number.

"Ziyue..." An Xia's voice sounded dispirited and feeble.

Su Ziyue, who was doing her brows with a brow pencil, said, "What's going on with you? Let's go out shopping and get ourselves bankrupted."

"It's all Bai Jingshu's fault, that b*stard!" At the mention of Bai Jingshu, An Xia immediately exploded with fury like a robot with a fully-charged battery.

Taken aback by her exclamation, Su Ziyue accidentally brought the brow pencil beyond her brows. Yet, she couldn't be bothered by it because she was alarmed by An Xia's tone. "What did Bai Jingshu do to you?" she pressed on anxiously.

Although she did not see Bai Jingshu as a jerk, he was, after all, still a philanderer. All this while, he had never taken An Xia out despite being very close with her.

An Xia, who just realized Su Ziyue had gotten the wrong idea from her panicked tone, quickly clarified, "Last night, I suffered from car sickness because he drove his car at full speed to send me back home. Do you know how that b*stard treated me? He shoved me in the car like he was carrying a gunny sack! I'm a girl, not a gunny sack..."

Su Ziyue found her complaint hilarious.

Trying hard to hold back her laughter, she went along with what she just said. "Yes, you're not a gunny sack and Bai Jingshu is indeed a b*stard. So, Miss Gunny Sack, please get out of bed now so that we car go shopping later."

She and An Xia met each other at the shopping mall.

After spending the entire day walking around the mall, they were exhausted.

An Xia still prattled on after glugging down one whole bottle of water. "Why would anybody fall in love with a man like Bai Jingshu? Not only is he a womanizer, but he's also mean and petty... What exactly do those women see in him..."

"They love his looks and money," Su Ziyue spelt it out for her after handing her a peeled orange.

An Xia was left wordless.

She took the orange from her and ate it in silence. Well, she had to admit that Bai Jingshu was indeed quite handsome and rich because after all, he was Mr. Qin's friend.

"But there's nothing good about him."

"Does that matter since you're not his wife?"

An Xia said after a pause, "... It doesn't matter.”

"Well, that's it then." Su Ziyue took a seat on the sofa next to her and turned on the television.

Two familiar faces were shown on the television screen.

An Xia too saw Gong Zeyang and Su Yige on the television. "What's going on? Are they officially calling off their engagement?”

Su Ziyue answered her with a frown, "This isn't an official press conference."

What was running on the television was only an interview of the couple. Su Yige was seen holding Gong Zeyang's arm tightly with an affable smile on her face. They still looked like a perfect match for each other.

"Mr. Gong, do you have any thoughts you'd like to share regarding the rumors surrounding your engagement with Miss Su?"

Gong Zeyang answered the reporter's question with a calm look, "In fact, I'd prefer to reveal my decision at a more formal occasion but as a businessman who values integrity, I must answer your question honestly now. Yes, Yige and I are preparing to call off our engagement because we don't think we're right for each other. Even though we will no longer be in a romantic relationship, we're still good friends who grew up together."

"He's a businessman who values integrity?" An Xia let out a sneer before she commented, "I think Gong Zeyang looks even more despicable than Bai Jingshu."

Su Ziyue did not say a thing because she was focusing on Su Yige, who was standing next to Gong Zeyang.

Not interested in the empty rhetoric Gong Zeyang said later on, she was surprised to see that Su Yige did not have a fallout with Gong Zeyang or offer anything in rebuttal at all throughout the entire process.

On top of that, Su Yige even went along with Gong Zeyang's statement by saying to the reporter, "We've broken up with each other in peace and our families remain as friends with one another. Any collaboration in business between the two families won't be affected because of what happened between us. Thanks for everyone's concern."

"Is this really Su Yige?" An Xia sprung to her feet from the sofa and turned to look at Su Ziyue in shock. "Do you believe her?”

"I don't believe her either but she's really Su Yige." Squinting, Su Ziyue examined Su Yige on the screen and carried on, "But I'm sure she didn't do it willingly. Perhaps Gong Zeyang had some goods on her and she had no choice but to say things as per his instruction.”

An Xia, who was confused, asked, "Why did he suddenly call off the engagement after it has lasted for so many years?"

The question sent Su Ziyue thinking despite it not being An Xia's intention.

Although she had never been on good terms with those two, the sudden cancellation of their engagement after being together for so many years still came as a surprise for her.

Seemed like it was true that humans were fickle.
