Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116

Gu Hanyan’s smile froze at her words. She was a few years older than Su Ziyue, and had always been labeled as elegant and generous. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say in response to Su Ziyue’s straightforwardness. In her opinion, Su Ziyue looked like a college student; though she was only a few years younger than she was, she was just a little girl after all. Little girls tended to be clingy and kick up a row, which, after some time, would put men off.

Gu Hanyan was a sophisticated woman and soon resumed her natural self. She chuckled lightly and said, “Although Muchen doesn’t talk much, he is very considerate toward others.” When she spoke, she glanced at Qin Muchen casually from time to time.

Su Ziyue looked at her with a fake smile. Is she trying to say that Qin Muchen is considerate to her by praising him in front of me? Although Su Ziyue told herself not to be angry, she couldn’t help it.

Qin Muchen, who hadn’t spoken once, suddenly said, “Well, we don’t need your help here. You are a guest, so you should go outside and sit.”

Gu Hanyan tried to say, “Don’t be a stranger. After all…”

“My wife will help me.” Qin Muchen stopped her from finishing what she was about to say with a single sentence.

“Okay.” Even if Gu Hanyan was interrupted by him, there wasn’t the slightest bit of anger on her face. Instead, she showed a helpless look, looking as though she was used to it or indulging him.

Su Ziyue’s face grew colder. It seems like they have really known each other for a long time.

Gu Hanyan took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen. When she passed by Su Ziyue, she gave her a meaningful smile. “I’m going out first.”

Bai Jingshu should have told her Su Ziyue’s name. Su Ziyue also looked at her without a smile on her face. Intuition told her that Gu Hanyan was better at playing tricks than Su Yige was. Su Yige’s inferior tricks could only be used in Yunzhou City, whereas Gu Hanyan was an international movie star with fans all over the world. Naturally, she knew that Gu Hanyan was ill-intentioned.

“Aren’t you coming in to help me?” Qin Muchen’s voice interrupted her thoughts.

Su Ziyue turned to look at him. With her eyes slightly cold, she briefly answered, “No.” She hadn’t settled accounts with Qin Muchen and was still holding grudges against him. Hence, she couldn’t bring herself to pretend to be lovey-dovey with him while cooking together with him. However, in order to prevent Gu Hanyan from thinking that she and Qin Muchen were indeed at odds, she had to stay in the kitchen and not go out.

After Su Ziyue entered the kitchen, she closed the kitchen door tightly to isolate the noise from outside sound and prevent people outside from looking. Then, she walked to a stool behind Qin Muchen and sat down; the stool had been brought in when she was cooking yesterday.

Qin Muchen looked back at her. “Why are you still here if you’re not helping?”

Su Ziyue took out her phone to play games and said absent-mindedly, “Go ask Gu Hanyan to come in and help you. I don’t know how to cook, and you’re aware of that.”

“You really want me to ask her to come in?” While talking, Qin Muchen put down the things in his hands and went to wash his hands. He squeezed the hand wash and washed carefully.

Su Ziyue, whose attention was on her phone, didn’t notice that he was walking toward her after having washed his hands. She then imitated his previous tone and said, “Oh, you can try.” The next moment, she felt a shadow enveloping her. When she looked up, she found that Qin Muchen had already walked over without her realizing it.

“What are you doing?” Su Ziyue glared at him while holding her phone. “Go and cook—I’m starving to death here!”

Qin Muchen leaned over to be on the same level as her eyes. He then put his hands down to support himself on the edge of the stool she was sitting on together with her legs. He leaned in closer to Su Ziyue and spoke slowly in his attractive voice, “Did you buy groceries yesterday?”

Su Ziyue instinctively wanted to deny it when he added, “There are more groceries in the refrigerator, and there is also a fish.”

Su Ziyue was stunned. She immediately said stubbornly, “Haha. I bought them when I passed by the shop.”

Staring at her closely, Qin Muchen took a deep look with a look of understanding on his face. “Liar.”

“I didn’t. I bought them when I passed by the shop!” Seeing the apprehension on Qin Muchen’s face, Su Ziyue retorted in annoyance.

Qin Muchen didn’t want to listen to her anymore. Little girls always love duplicity and lies. Therefore, she should be punished. He leaned forward, whereas, realizing something, Su Ziyue leaned back, trying to keep a distance from him.

Qin Muchen raised the corners of his lips without reaching out to help her, and moved forward again, whereas Su Ziyue continued to lean back. She felt that she would fall if she kept leaning back, but the man in front of her showed no signs of stopping. He pressed his hands on the edge of the stool while she sat on it. Once she moved forward, she would kiss him. I could just fall straight back, and it probably won’t hurt too much. I can’t lose, she thought to herself.

In the next moment, Qin Muchen had already placed his big palm on her back; with a slight push, he made her sit upright again. When she looked up, she saw the jesting look on Qin Muchen’s face. “What do you think I am going to do to you?”

“Nothing.” She wouldn’t say that she thought he was about to kiss her just now. However, he didn’t. Hence, Su Ziyue blinked her eyes, driving away the inexplicable disappointment in her heart.

Seeing through her thoughts, Qin Muchen unexpectedly tilted his head and bit her lip, softly sucking it in a gentle and caring manner. When Su Ziyue came to her senses and wanted to push him away, he had already left her lips.

He straightened up and stretched out his hand to caress her lips with a smile tugging at the corners of his eyes. His thin lips parted slightly while he uttered three words, “As you wish.”

What the hell?! Su Ziyue clenched her fists, wanting to hit him badly.

Qin Muchen rubbed her head again and said as though he were coaxing a child, “Sit down and don’t move. You will be able to eat soon.”

Su Ziyue loosened her clenched fist and then clenched them again. Strangely, she actually sat there peacefully without moving again. Qin Muchen turned his back to her with a smile tugging at his lips.

…

Perhaps a business-savvy person who could analyze data planned carefully in advance when cooking; in less than an hour, Qin Muchen had made five dishes—two of which were spicy, three non-spicy—and one light soup. He even braised the extra fish that Su Ziyue bought yesterday.

Not only did Su Ziyue not help him with cooking, but she also didn’t even bother to serve the dishes to the table and just sat at the table like a boss. As soon as Gu Hanyan sat down, she began to praise Qin Muchen. “Muchen is getting better at cooking.”

“It’s alright, I guess.” Su Ziyue pushed a bowl to the side as she spoke, giving Qin Muchen a look.

Amused, Qin Muchen filled her bowl with soup and put it in front of her.

“Ziyue, you’re very blessed. It was very difficult to eat a meal made by Muchen himself,” Gu Hanyan said in a half-joking tone.
