Chapter 316

Bai Jingshu finally came back to his senses after he smashed the bottle. He would've never had the guts to snatch away the alcohol from Qin Muchen under normal circumstances. When he looked up and took a closer look at Qin Muchen, he couldn't help being stunned. Shocked, Bai Jingshu looked at Qin Muchen, who had bloodshot eyes, while stammering, "W-What's the matter? You're scaring me!" Then, he sat down beside Qin Muchen, carefully observing his expression.

Hearing this, Qin Muchen replied softly, "Jingshu, ask Nan Chuan to bring some more alcohol over. I want to continue drinking."

Since he wishes to drink, I'll just let him be. I bet he has no courage to go back to meet Su Ziyue if he's not drunk. He finally understood what happened between the two as well as why Su Ziyue despised him so. After all, he had murdered an innocent life, and there was no way for him to bring the innocent child back to life again.

Bai Jingshu had never seen Qin Muchen in such a desperate state. He felt that the current Qin Muchen was more terrifying than when he was angry. Not daring to continue probing the matter any further, he got up and went to look for Nan Chuan to get a drink for him.

The moment Bai Jingshu went out, Qin Muchen's phone rang. He looked at the familiar number displayed on the phone and hesitated for a long time before picking it up.

"Are you off work yet? What do you want to eat tonight? My company is actually quite close to the supermarket, so I'll go straight to the supermarket to buy some food before going home." Su Ziyue's voice sounded through the phone, sounding a touch more gentle than usual.

Qin Muchen's hand, which was hanging by his side, slowly tightened for a moment before relaxing again. He then swallowed nervously before he said, "Just make anything you wish. My food preference is similar to yours anyway."

Hearing this, Su Ziyue chuckled lightly. "Alright, I'll cook today's dinner and wait for you to come back. If you don't finish eating my cooking today, I swear I won't cook anymore in the future."

Meanwhile, Su Ziyue had reached the parking lot. Before Qin Muchen had the chance to speak again, she said, "I'm going to drive now. Be sure to work hard so that you can come home early tonight." With that, she hung up the phone.

At this moment, Bai Jingshu happened to walk in with two bottles of strong liquor in his hand. He put the liquor in front of Qin Muchen and said, "Go ahead."

Then, Qin Muchen took out two tissues in silence and wiped off the alcohol previously spilled on his body. Turning his head to look at Bai Jingshu, he had returned to his usual calmness as he said, "No thanks.

Hearing this, Bai Jingshu was speechless. He was the one who had insisted on drinking just now, and now he doesn't want to anymore?

Reading his mind, Qin Muchen added, "She's waiting for me to go home for dinner, and I don't want her to wait too long. She will definitely be furious if I go home reeking of alcohol." With that, he turned around and went out, leaving behind a confused Bai Jingshu.

Before long, Su Ziyue returned home after buying groceries. She knew Qin Muchen had returned when she saw the leather shoes at the door. After she went in and saw that no one was in the hall, she walked to the stairs and yelled, "Qin Muchen?"

With a creak, one of the doors upstairs was pushed open. The next moment, Qin Muchen's figure appeared in the corridor. He was wearing casual clothes, and his hair was slightly damp. It was obvious that he had just come out of the shower.

When Su Ziyue saw him, she smiled and said, "Why did you come back so early? I thought you would be busy for a while." While talking, she walked toward the kitchen with the groceries in her hand.

Then, Qin Muchen came down from upstairs and followed her into the kitchen. Su Ziyue was placing the vegetables in the refrigerator. After she put two carrots into the refrigerator, she heard Qin Muchen say behind her, "You used to hate eating carrots." With this, Qin Muchen took over the other vegetables she was holding and put them in the refrigerator one by one.

Su Ziyue's tone eased a lot after hearing his words. "Carrots contain a lot of vitamins. Plus, I'm starting to like them after eating them a few times." She also learned at that time that people would forget many things at their lowest and saddest point in life. When one was sad, one wouldn't care about avoiding the things or food one hated.

Hearing this, Qin Muchen didn't reply to her and silently continued putting the vegetables into the refrigerator.

The dinner was cooked by Su Ziyue. When she was cooking, Qin Muchen and Beef waited by the side. Su Ziyue glanced at Beef and threw a piece of freshly cooked meat to it, thereafter Beef jumped up to catch it. Then, she turned around and found that Qin Muchen was staring straight at her. She tentatively said, "Do you want some too?"

She thought that Qin Muchen's expression would sour, but Qin Muchen just replied, "Yes."

Su Ziyue was slightly surprised. She didn't dare to throw it directly to him just like how she fed Beef, and instead picked it up with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. She asked him in excitement, "How is it?" Although she herself felt that her cooking was not bad, she was still a little worried and unsure of herself in front of Qin Muchen.

Qin Muchen smiled and said, "It's delicious."

Surprise flashed in Su Ziyue's eyes. She felt that something was off with Qin Muchen today.

After dinner was ready, the two sat at the dinner table. Then, Su Ziyue asked him tentatively, "Did something happen to you at the company today?"

Qin Muchen's hand, which was reaching for the dishes with his chopsticks, paused as he said quietly, "No."

It seemed like today was just a normal day at the office for him. Hearing this, Su Ziyue didn't press him, but she still felt that something was off about him. The whole night, Qin Muchen agreed with whatever she said.

When she woke up in the middle of the night, she found that Qin Muchen was not next to her in bed. She guessed that Qin Muchen must be in the study, so she went to look for him. It turned out that the man was smoking in the study.

When she arrived at the study, she could smell the suffocating smell of cigarettes wafting out from inside. She raised her hand and hesitated for a moment before turning around and going back to the bedroom She knew that even though she and Qin Muchen had reconciled on the surface, she still minded what had happened in the past. At least, she couldn't calmly talk to him about the incident two years ago. She couldn't and didn't want to talk about it. She didn't want to tear apart the wounds in her heart again, so she dared not ask nor mention about the incident again.

After a long time, Qin Muchen returned to the bedroom when Su Ziyue was about to fall asleep. Vaguely, she heard the sound of the water running in the bathroom. After a while, she felt the area of the bed next to her sink down. It was Qin Muchen.

His body leaned over and pressed against her body. His body was a bit cold to touch, so Su Ziyue shrank reflexively. Sensing this, he immediately released her. Then, he asked her in a soft voice, "You're awake?"

"Yeah... Where did you go?" Su Ziyue replied in a daze. She couldn't smell the scent of cigarettes on his body, so he must have taken a shower just now.

Qin Muchen's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of waking her up. "I went to settle some urgent and important documents."

Su Ziyue fell silent. She had a feeling that Qin Muchen was hiding something from her. Otherwise, he wouldn't go smoking in the middle of the night.

Qin Muchen's voice then sounded by her ears again. "You should rest now. It's still early, so you can sleep for a few more hours." When he hugged her again, he clasped his hands together and pressed them to her lower abdomen, perhaps intentionally.

Feeling sensitive to his touch, Su Ziyue stretched out her hand to take his hand away, but gave up after hearing his even breathing by her ear.
