Chapter 58
Su Ziyue choked mentally, unable to untwist the feelings she had inside of her.
At last, she forced herself to squeeze her words out. “You’re right, Mr. Qin. I still have a lot to learn.”
Qin Muchen narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at her. Seeing how her smile was a little forced, he began to
wonder.
Is she angry now?
It seemed like he couldn’t be completely truthful when talking to women.
An Xia watched the two of them throw glances at each other from the side. She then spoke up, completely aware
of the situation. “Apologies, Mr. Qin, but I really need to use the bathroom. You can continue with Ziyue…”
With that, she grabbed the pile of documents before getting up and skedaddling out of the office.
Su Ziyue glanced at An Xia’s vanishing figure with a smile that did not reach her eyes.
Did she forget to bring her brain with her? If she’s really just going to the bathroom, then why did she bring the
documents along with her?
This was the first time Su Ziyue saw Qin Muchen since she had hotpot with him at home.
Since he had already made his decision, she shouldn’t continue to think about it anymore. Now that their
conversation about work had ended, she couldn’t stay with Qin Muchen alone.
She stood up and said, “Mr. Qin, I’ll be…”
Leaving then.
Qin Muchen didn’t give her a chance to finish her words as he cut her right off. “Do you also need to use the
bathroom?”
“That’s right—human needs and all.”
“I need to use the bathroom too. Let’s go together.”
“Huh?”
It’s not like we’re kindergarten kids who still need to hold hands while going to the bathroom together.
Upon seeing Su Ziyue’s stony expression, a smile crept up from the bottom of Qin Muchen’s eyes. “What’s wrong?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt
Aren’t you going anymore?”
“I have to leave first; there’s still work to be done at the company.” She was agitated that she wasn’t able to put a
finger on her inescapable relationship with Qin Muchen.
All of a sudden, Qin Muchen stood up and sidestepped the furniture to stand before her. “Are you tricking me? Did
you think that I didn’t know your only job is to negotiate the contract with me?”
As he spoke, he stepped closer to her.
Su Ziyue’s hands had been splayed across the surface of the table. Seeing him closing in on her, she thought of
pushing away the chair behind her to retreat. However, Qin Muchen got to it before her.
He reached out and plucked the chair, putting it away to the side; his strength was weighty and controlled, and the
chair made no sound at all when he put it down.
By the time Su Ziyue returned to her senses, Qin Muchen had already wrapped his arms around her waist, his large
hands caressing it lovingly.
The two of them were so close that all Su Ziyue’s nose could sense was his clean and fresh breaths.
“Please respect me a little and acknowledge our different statuses; I’m only here to discuss the collaboration.”
There wasn’t the slightest bit of surety in Su Ziyue’s voice.
Qin Muchen’s hands wandered up and down her waist. He could wrap an entire hand around her figure; her waist
was so thin that he couldn’t bear to tear himself away from her.
Upon hearing that, he chuckled in a low tone; even the laughter colored his voice. “Statuses? Tell me, who am I?”
He stepped closer and closer, and all Su Ziyue could do was to step backward.
Panicked from his actions, she finally roared, “Qin Muchen!”
“Are you angry now?” It was only then did Qin Muchen place a hand by her back to support her out of the goodness
from his heart. It stopped her from becoming too tired due to her stress, but he also had no intention of letting her
go. “If you kiss me, I’ll let you go.”
“Keep dreaming on!”
A shred of astuteness flew across Su Ziyue’s eyes; she had high heels on today.
She shot a smile at him while she discreetly lifted her foot to step on him.
However, as if he had already anticipated this, Qin Muchen deftly evaded her stomp; he had even grabbed her calf
wickedly.
“Ah—”
Su Ziyue cried out in alarm, her hands splaying across the table behind her. Her pale little face blushed scarlet from
anger as she said, “Let go of me!”
As she held onto the table, he had a hand on her waist and the other around her leg. This position was practically...
Qin Muchen looked as polite as ever. “I have no intention of forcing you to kiss me since you don’t want to, but
trying to step on me is against the rules. Now, this isn’t something that can be solved with just a kiss.”
This position made her feel uncomfortable and awkward, but much to her chagrin, she couldn’t move.
How she wished she could maul him to death right now.
As though he felt that this wasn’t enough, Qin Muchen leaned back a little and lowered his gaze, his eyes roving
purposefully up her alabaster legs.
“If you don’t let me go now, I’m definitely going to kill you! You animal! You b*stard!”
Su Ziyue was now considering death.
If she had known earlier, she would have played along and just kissed him.
However, if she were to listen to everything he said, then she wouldn’t be Su Ziyue.
As though he had enough of her bristling anger, Qin Muchen suddenly released her and said with certain emphasis.
“It’s pink.”
Su Ziyue frantically smoothed out her clothes before pushing the door open and making a mad dash outside, afraid
that he would chase after her. She had even forgotten to take her bag with her.
She slammed the door hard, unable to resist the urge of kicking at it viciously as well. Then, she stomped over to
the lounge at lightning speed in her eight-inch heels. “We’re leaving now, An Xia.”
“Oh, coming,” An Xia called out and hastily dashed over.
Seeing how murderous Su Ziyue looked, An Xia asked, “What’s up? Did you two fight?”
Su Ziyue turned and said forebodingly, “Fight? That’s too light of a sentence. I want to kill him.”
“...” An Xia stepped closer to the side with fear on her face.
Su Ziyue planted her hands on her hips, not caring about her image as she heaved several long sighs. Then, she

An Xia leaned in then, her gaze falling onto her shoulder. “Your bra strap is showing.”
Su Ziyue looked down; the collar of her white shirt was spread open, revealing a pink strap.
Qin Muchen’s words from earlier suddenly flashed across her mind.
He said that something was pink...
Her bra matched the description...
Su Ziyue’s face turned red, then green, and finally purple.
Qin Muchen! You won’t see the end of this!
...
Su Yige returned to Su Group with fury coiled in her stomach. However, she still forced herself to put on a smile and
nod at the workers.
Once she returned to her office and closed the door, she smashed everything on her desk.
She was livid; she had embarrassed herself greatly in front of Su Ziyue earlier. She must salvage this battle!
As cruelty flashed across her eyes, someone knocked on the door right then.
“Director.”
Su Yige cleaned up her appearance before opening the door. She only opened the door partially to prevent the
person standing outside from seeing the sorry state of her office.
Su Yige tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her voice gentle. “Is there something you need?”
“The chairman asked for you to meet him once you’ve returned.”
“Alright, understood. I’ll head there right now.”
Su Yige sent the man off with a smile. Once she closed the door, she tidied up her office slightly before heading to
Su Youcheng’s office.
The moment she entered, Su Youcheng asked her, “Have you met with the chairman of LK Group?”
“Yes. Just as Ziyue said, he’s very young.” Su Yige smiled and walked further inside.
Su Youcheng looked up at her. “Then why did you return so early?”
“Grandpa, there’s something that I’m not sure if I should tell you…” Su Yige appeared troubled.
Su Youcheng did not like her stuttering. “Whatever it is, say it.”
