Marry Me Quick

Chapter 69

This time, it was a middle-aged man who represented LK Group to discuss the collaboration with Su Ziyue.

The man, who was dressed in an immaculate, ironed black suit, looked stern and rigid.

Su Ziyue instinctively straightened her back when she knew she was going to deal with a man like him.

“Mr. Sun, it’s nice to meet you. My name is Su Ziyue.”

As his junior, it was only appropriate of her to take the initiative to greet him.

“Miss Su.” Mr. Sun too stood up and shook her hand politely before quickly retracting his hand.

Then, they started to talk business right away.

As expected, Mr. Sun was a serious, rigid and detail-oriented man.

Therefore, they did not manage to make much progress after the entire afternoon.

On their way back, An Xia too couldn’t help but complain, “Why does their representative have to be a rigid middle-aged man? Talking with him was so tiring, and I didn’t even dare to smile.”

“I think it’s alright.”

In Su Ziyue’s opinion, dealing with Mr. Sun was good because at least, she could accept his opposing opinions, and she could learn a lot from him.

But, if she was dealing with Qin Muchen…

Perhaps it was because the two of them were not purely work partners in the first place and because Qin Muchen had always been very tolerant of her back then, so she found it hard to accept his suggestions even though they might make a lot of sense.

…

After getting off from work, An Xia and her grabbed a bite at a random restaurant for dinner.

The slow rate at which her work progressed enlightened Su Ziyue of her many shortcomings. Therefore, she decided to bring home some documents to read.

Her phone started ringing minutes before ten at night.

The caller ID on the screen left her dumbfounded.

It was from Qin Muchen.

After hesitating, she tossed her phone aside and carried on with her work.

Yet, her phone rang on relentlessly as though it was defying her.

She picked up the phone and wanted to switch it off but decided against it when she suddenly remembered the fact that she was currently working on a collaboration with LK Group. Since they were only work partners, she wondered whether she had been oversensitive in reaction to his phone call.

But, it was after working hours now…

At last, she decided to pick up the call.

Once the call was connected, a man’s voice which sounded unfamiliar sounded, “Mrs. Qin, please come and pick President Qin up because he’s drunk.”

“Where’s President Bai?”

“He’s wasted too.”

Then, the man gave her an address before hanging up.

Su Ziyue had yet to register the conversation in her mind.

She supposed that man was from Yunteng because he had addressed her as Mrs. Qin.

Qin Muchen must have a hectic life, having to juggle between being the boss behind Lumiere Jade House and looking after both LK Group and Yunteng.

Su Ziyue then gave a call to Nan Chuan.

“Miss Su, I’m really tied up now. My sister has just been admitted to the hospital because she suffered from motion sickness during her flight from America…”

He did not sound like he was lying judging from the trace of concern in his tone.

Therefore, she had no choice but to drive to the address given by that man to pick Qin Muchen up.

It was a restaurant she had never been to before.

Just as she reached the entrance after getting out of her car, a man greeted her while he was walking toward her, “Mrs. Qin.”

“Hi.”

“President Qin is still inside the private room.”

While the man was leading her inside, he told her, “We were invited by the company to join the celebration here for the anniversary of the company. Everyone got excited and drank like a fish.”

He sounded like he was trying to explain to her why Qin Muchen got drunk.

Yet, she was not interested at all.

Once she stepped into the private room, she found that almost half of the people inside were hammered.

Only some were still drinking, glasses of alcohol in their hands, while some were chit-chatting while

taking a puff.

The stench inside was a mixture of food, alcohol and smoke; it was unbearable.

With a frown, Su Ziyue followed the man inside.

“President Qin, Mrs. Qin is here to pick you up.” The man who brought her inside approached Qin Muchen and gave him a soft nudge.

Qin Muchen sat alone on the sofa with his back leaning against it, looking no different to how he looked usually.

His necktie, which had been loosened, hung loosely around his neck. He rested one of his hands on his abdomen and was pressing the fingers of his other hand to his temples. His eyes half shut, a slight crease on his forehead, he seemed like he was feeling unwell.

He did not react to the man’s voice.

Then, Su Ziyue walked over and asked, “How much did he drink?”

“I have no idea, but when we proposed a toast to him just now, he didn’t reject any of us.”

“How many of you proposed a toast to him?”

“All of us.”

Su Ziyue was speechless. Pursing her lips, she felt a driving urge to curse at someone.

There were around thirty to forty people in the room. They clearly did not treat Qin Muchen like a human being since they all proposed a toast to him.

Forget it, he was not a normal human being in the first place.

Having no idea how to describe her feelings now, Si Ziyue walked over to him and called his name, “Qin Muchen.”

But she got no response from him.

She then reached out to give his cheeks a pat, only for her hand to suddenly be grabbed by Qin Muchen who groaned in a deep and hoarse voice, “Don’t mess with me…”

Seeing his reaction, the man who brought Su Ziyue there quickly cleared his throat and offered, “Mrs. Qin, let me help you carry President Qin to your car.”

“Thanks a lot.” Su Ziyue nodded at him.

With much effort, she retrieved her hand from Qin Muchen and let the man carry him to her car.

After stuffing Qin Muchen into the car, the man then handed her a phone. “This is President Qin’s phone.”

“Thanks.” Su Ziyue took it, glanced at it and was prepared to toss it aside.

But, an idea struck her, prompting her to unlock his phone.

She clicked open his contacts to find only three names there: Dear, Nan Chuan and Jingshu.

According to the call logs, it showed that the number of ‘Dear’ was dialed within an hour ago.

It was the call made by the man to her just now.

Su Ziyue placed the phone aside and turned to look at Qin Muchen whose head was tilted to one side, looking unwell.

After staring at him for a long while, she bent over to help him fasten his seat belt.

Just as she was about to move away from him after buckling his seat belt, his hands wrapped around her waist. “Su Ziyue…”

Startled, Su Ziyue met his glassy eyes as soon as she looked up.

It seemed like he was really drunk. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Although she could still vividly remember the incident which had taken place that night, she was suddenly not so angry and frustrated anymore. She urged softly, “Get your hands off me. I have to drive.”

Nonetheless, Qin Muchen did not seem to hear her. Not only did he not loosen his hold, he even buried his head into her shoulder and brushed his face against her skin like a puppy.

It was indecent for them to behave in this way because her car was parked by the roadside, and there

were many pedestrians walking to and fro.

Su Ziyue snapped in a tone much icier than before, “Qin Muchen, if you don’t let go of me now, I’ll leave you behind.”

As soon as she said that, he really did take his hands off her obediently. Leaning lazily back against the seat and watching her with his half-open, glassy eyes, he did not look as intimidating as usual.

Su Ziyue did not give him another glance.

She drove all the way to a hotel because she had no intention of bringing him back home.

“I’d like to book a room, and could one of you help me carry the man inside my car to the room?”

Su Ziyue led some of the hotel staff to her car to have them carry Qin Muchen up to his room.

To her surprise, Qin Muchen opened his eyes all of a sudden the moment their hands touched him. He shoved them all away and yelled, “Get away from me, all of you. I only want my wife.”
