Chapter 66
Seeing that she was dilly dallying and did not make a move toward him, Qin Muchen lost his patience and took big steps to her before dragging her into the car by her hand.
“What are you doing?” Su Ziyue jerked her hand a couple of times, but it did not release her from his grip.
Not giving her a chance to retaliate, he pushed her into the car, and after he got in from the other side of the car, he said, “Let’s find a place to eat.”
Pointing a finger at Lumiere Jade House, she asked, “Why can’t we eat here? Where do you want to eat?”
After a few moments of silence, he said, “The food outside is unhygienic.”
Su Ziyue was speechless. So he meant that the restaurant at his own club was unhygienic?
Seeing that she was silent, he reminded her, “Seatbelt.”
Instinctively, she immediately put on her seatbelt, but then it suddenly hit her that something was off. “Hang on, why are you bringing me to dinner? How did you know I was at the Lumiere Jade House?”
This was ridiculous. Why would he drag her along to have his dinner when she just finished hers?
With his eyes fixed ahead, he only answered her last question. Opening his lips slightly, he uttered two
words, “Nan Chuan.”
After that, no matter what she asked him, he would just ignore her.

Half an hour later, the car finally stopped. It was Su Ziyue who opened the door and hopped out first. The moment she stepped out, she could see a beautiful night view of Yunzhou City, and when she turned around, she found a luxurious villa behind her.
Surprised, she asked Qin Muchen, “This is Cloud Bay?”
Cloud Bay was the most luxurious villa locality in Yunzhou City. The trademarks of Cloud Bay were secure, private, natural and comfort.
“Yes,” he replied. “Come over.”
Hearing his last two words, she cautiously took a step back. “Didn’t you say that we’re going to a place for dinner?”
Pulling up one corner of his lips, he said, “I also mentioned that the food outside is unhygienic.”
So he wanted to prepare dinner at home; this dumbfounded Su Ziyue.
He could tell that she was unwilling, but he did not grab her like he did earlier. Calmly, he said to her, “I went looking for you the moment I touched down and didn’t eat anything during my flight.”
---
In the end, Su Ziyue still followed Qin Muchen into the villa, which was huge and empty.
“Don’t you need servants?” Su Ziyue had wanted to ask this since a long time ago.
Although there were only a few people in the Su family, they still hired a dozen servants.
With his wealth, even if he did not live in a house, it should at least have a housekeeper or something.
“What can a servant do for me?” he asked as he took off his coat and took out some fresh meat and vegetables from the refrigerator. “The laundry is handled by a special dry cleaner who comes to pick it up. I’m usually busy and don't stay home much.”
Out of the blue, he lifted his head and stared at her.
His stare made her feel uncomfortable, and to ease this discomfort, she ran her fingers through her hair around her ears and did not say anything.
“The villa doesn’t need servants. It’s only missing a mistress of the house.” Finishing his sentence calmly, he turned around and placed the meat on a plate before starting to clean the vegetables.
Su Ziyue was left rooted there, feeling at a loss.
She recalled that Thursday night, when they were eating at a simple roadside stall, and how he slowly explained to her why he specifically asked for her to negotiate the contract.
Qin Muchen was a man who was an expert in psychological games.
From the moment he got close to her and chased the reporters away for her to when he agreed to marry her and made breakfast for her every morning...
Everything was what she extremely needed.
If she had not discovered that he was the shadow owner of Lumiere Jade House, she would still have been kept in the dark by him and would not know anything about his background at all until now.
Even though he was cutting vegetables, Qin Muchen was actually listening intently to the activity behind his back. As a smart woman, Su Ziyue would understand what he meant.
---
Until Qin Muchen was done preparing the meal, Su Ziyue still did not say a single thing.
He filled two bowls of rice and set one down in front of her.
The moment he sat down, he heard her saying, “I just ate.”
“You’re not full.”
“Is my stomach attached to your body? How would you know if I’m full or not?”
Qin Muchen placed some vegetables into her bowl. “You don't have the appetite to eat when you’re
seated at a table with the Su family.”
The words which she wanted to say were stuck at the tip of her tongue, and she swallowed them back.
His words hit a soft spot in the depths of her heart, and slowly, it began to crumble.
As if he had expected that she would not rebut what he just said, he filled a bowl of soup for her and gently pushed it in front of her. “Eat up.”
She lowered her head and started eating without saying another word.
Lifting his gaze, he took a glance at her, and his smile spread from his mouth to his entire face.
After the meal, her mood seemed to have calmed down a little. She pushed the bowls to the side with her hands, looking at him. “I’m done eating. I want to go home now, President Qin.”
The reason she called him ‘President Qin’ was a reminder to him that they were in a cooperative relationship. As for anything else, she currently did not have any thoughts about it.
Qin Muchen glanced once at her before he gathered the dishes and brought them into the kitchen and placed them into the dishwasher.
Following behind him, Su Ziyue asked, “Are you asking me to go home by myself? My car is still at Lumiere Jade House.”
It was close to 11 p.m. now. Seeing how the location of this villa was at the top of the mountain, there was not even a soul outside, let alone a cab.
Still maintaining his silence, he slowly turned on the tap, washed his hands and dried them with a towel.
All his movements were extremely slow.
“You... Woah!”
Caught off-guard by him, he swept her off her feet into his arms, and she unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her upstairs, straight toward the master bedroom.
“Qin Muchen, what are you doing?!”
With a kick, the door to the master bedroom swung open and he threw her on the bed. As he loosened his tie, he answered her previous question, emphasizing each word, “Screw. You.”
Falling onto the bed with a plop, she was still feeling a little dizzy and thought that she had heard him wrongly. How could Qin Muchen say something like… that!
Turning around, she wanted to get off the bed, but she was pinned back by Qin Muchen, who was watching her every move.
Only his tie was removed, but his shirt was still on with three or four buttons undone, revealing his toned chest.
The way he looked now was incredibly sexy. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Shifting her gaze, Su Ziyue met his dark eyes.
There was a bright flash in his dark eyes; just like a leopard which had been laying low for a long time in the forest, he was now ready to pounce at the sight of a prey which satisfied him.
Feeling a little fearful of him right now, her voice was shaking as she said, “Don’t do this, Qin Muchen. We can talk over everything nicely.”
“I wanted to speak nicely with you earlier, but you refused to listen.”
He buried his head next to her ear and left a hot trail along the soft outline of her ear with his thin lips.
Her heart was beating so fast it almost skipped out from her throat. The strength that he had was terrifying.
When her struggles were rendered useless, she pleaded softly instead, “I’ll listen. Tell me anything you want to say now…”
“It’s late. I don’t want to say it. I want to do it.”
