Marry Me Quick

Chapter 104

Obviously, he knew how much suffering she was in, but he would not allow her to give in.

Su Ziyue had not been given a large dose of the drug, but the concentration was high that she had become mildly addicted to it. Nonetheless, he believed that she could get through it; regardless of how angry Qin Muchen was, he never once raised his voice at her.

Su Ziyue knew that he was angry at her for not fighting hard enough and allowing herself to be injected with drugs. But now, she was suffering too much and it was simply unbearable.

It was as if she was experiencing cramps and her skin was peeling off—she did not feel like herself anymore, and was afraid that she would not be able to endure it.

“Sorry…” Su Ziyue bit her lips as she turned her head away, looking miserable.

She thought that she was resilient and had a stronger will than anyone else. However, it was only at this point of time when she knew that she was wrong.

She really wished that Qin Muchen would give her another injection.

The girl on the bed was filled with agony; the hair in front of her forehead was drenched in sweat. Qin Muchen couldn’t bear to watch anymore, so he helped her up and kissed her ears before asking softly, “Shall I cook the rice while you help me wash the vegetables?”

Su Ziyue nodded. “Alright.”

…

Qin Muchen brought her to the kitchen and gave her the vegetables to wash while striking up a conversation with her.

They talked about her childhood and her life overseas so that he could divert her attention away from her pain.

“One time, several homeless people kept chasing after me and I even lost my high heels…”

This happened when she still had her part-time job. Back then, she couldn’t hail a taxi because it was too late at night. Then, a few homeless people started following her.

While fleeing for her life, she lost the pair of high heels which she had been wearing. In the end, she had no choice but to go home bare-footed.

She was rather amused when she thought back to that moment now.

Qin Muchen turned his head to take a look at her. Furrowing his brows, he felt an inexplicable feeling of agony inside.

Suddenly, Su Ziyue tossed the vegetables aside. She then turned around and started retching in the other sink.

She did not eat anything in the morning, so there was nothing which she could vomit out.

Qin Muchen walked behind her and silently patted her shoulder to give her some assurance. Then, he poured a glass of water for her and let her sit down.

After he had finished cooking, Su Ziyue poked and prodded her food with her chopsticks for a while. Soon, she did not move at all—just like what had happened in the morning.

Qin Muchen wanted her to eat something, but seeing her in agony, he knew that it would be useless to force her to stuff some food down her throat.

Su Ziyue then teased him when she saw the sullen look on his face and asked, “Why do I feel like you’re suffering more than I do?”

“I’m scared that you won’t get through it. Then, you’ll get addicted and make me go bankrupt.”

Qin Muchen raised his brows, and his voice was full of worry. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Su Ziyue, who was already feeling dizzy in the first place, was displeased when she heard that. She let out a scoff and said, “Cheapskate!”

“What did you say?” Qin Muchen lifted his gaze to look at her. “Say that again.”

Su Ziyue leaned against the chair and replied sluggishly, “You’re so handsome today.”

Qin Muchen knew that she was only giving him a nonchalant reply. Nonetheless, he still had a vibrant smile on his face.

…

Similarly, Su Ziyue still did not have any appetite at night, and Qin Muchen’s frown became more and more intense.

That night, Su Ziyue started experiencing insomnia and could not fall asleep.

While she was in this condition for a few consecutive days, Qin Muchen did not go to the company as well.

Lu Shichu dropped by a few times and An Xia also used this opportunity to come and visit Su Ziyue.

However, An Xia happened to stumble across Bai Jingshu once when he came over. The both of them kept quarrelling and got into a scuffle with each other as they left.

Finally, one agonizing week had passed, and Su Ziyue’s condition also took a turn for the better.

That morning, the two of them had breakfast together.

Qin Muchen was frying some eggs while looking at Su Ziyue as she ate a sandwich.

“If you continue looking at me that way, your eggs are going to get cold.” Su Ziyue could sense his gaze so she turned to him and threw him a glance.

Qin Muchen only raised his brows when he heard that. He noticed that her appetite had improved and she was looking much better than before. “Oh, is that so?”

Su Ziyue almost choked when she heard those simple words from him.

She also did not know what was going on with her. Those two words did not seem wrong, but she seemed to have a twisted mind.

Qin Muchen then slid a glass of vegetable juice toward her. “Don’t think about inappropriate scenes when you’re eating. That way, you won’t choke on your food.”

Su Ziyue was speechless. How did she not know what inappropriate thoughts she was having?

“Let’s go to the Lumiere Jade House for dinner tonight.” Knowing that she had been staying at home for more than a week, Su Ziyue would surely be frustrated. So, he had invited Bai Jingshu and An Xia in advance for dinner together tonight.

“Sure!” Naturally, Su Ziyue agreed to it.

…

That night, Bai Jingshu and An Xia were already at the Lumiere Jade House when Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen arrived. The two of them were playing cards, and there were already two empty beer bottles on the table.

When An Xia saw Su Ziyue, she snorted and said sobbingly, “Come quickly, Ziyue. Bai Jingshu is bullying me, so you have to stand up for me.”

Su Ziyue was about to go over when Qin Muchen, who was beside her, stopped her in her tracks. “Let them drink; you can just watch.”

“I know.” Su Ziyue shoved his hand away before walking over.

Soon, Nan Chuan arrived too.

He then whispered something into Qin Muchen’s ears before Qin Muchen sat back down beside Su Ziyue. “Have fun with them for a while, but don’t simply run around. I nned to handle something with Nan Chuan.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

Su Ziyue thought that he had some urgent matters to attend to so she did not bother about it too much.

Walking to the exit, Qin Muchen still felt worried, so he turned his head to look at her again before leaving with Nan Chuan.

After closing the door of the private room, Qin Muchen’s expression turned cold; it was as though a layer of snow had covered his face. He turned sideways and asked Nan Chuan, “Where is the person?”

Nan Chuan answered respectfully, “The person is in a private room alone.”

Qin Muchen did not utter another word as he started walking forward.

Then, Nan Chuan brought him to a private room which was guarded by two bodyguards. “The person is inside.”

With that, he pushed the door open with respect.

Qin Muchen led the way while Nan Chuan followed him from behind and closed the door.

Only a small lamp was switched on in the luxurious private room. The entire private room was dimly-lit and a woman was lying on the sofa with a bag draped over her head.

Qin Muchen walked up to her before pulling the bag that was on her head away. To his surprise, it was Su Yige.

Su Yige’s eyes widened as she looked at Qin Muchen. “Why is it you?”

She had come here today for a reunion dinner. However, she was drugged when she was at the entrance. By the time she came around, she was already in this private room. Even though she was conscious, she could not even lift her finger; it was obvious that she had been drugged.

Qin Muchen ignored her question. His beautiful hands with bony joints then reached behind as Nan Chuan handed him a syringe.

Holding the syringe with one hand, he raised it into the air and squeezed out some of the fluid inside before looking at Su Yige in a condescending manner.

Su Yige’s pupils constricted when she saw the syringe. “What are you doing?”
