Marry Me Quick

Chapter 106

Su Ziyue woke up very early the next morning, but someone else had woken up even earlier than she had. The moment she came downstairs, Qin Muchen had already prepared her breakfast. “Come over and have your breakfast,” said Qin Muchen.

“What a hearty spread!” Su Ziyue exclaimed the moment she sat down at the dining table.

Qin Muchen did not utter a word other than putting on a smile. She had lost quite some weight during this period of time, so that was why Qin Muchen made it his mission to make her delicious foods to properly feed her. Su Ziyue did not know that he had so many thoughts in mind and merely sat down to eat.

Qin Muchen was delighted to see that she was having a good appetite. After the both of them finished their breakfast, they both drove themselves to work. At first, Qin Muchen wanted to give Su Ziyue a ride, but the latter refused.

…

Su Ziyue felt rather unfamiliar with the Su Group after having to stop coming to work for over a week. She ran into An Xia right after she had parked her car.

“Good morning, Ziyue.”

“Good morning.” Su Ziyue turned around to smile at An Xia as she waited for her to come over to her spot.

An Xia then grasped Su Ziyue’s arms while she walked alongside her. Meanwhile, Su Ziyue could clearly sense something wrong the moment she stepped into the main door of the company.

“Good morning, Miss Su.”

“Miss Su, you’re looking great in that dress today.”

“Miss Su…”

There were all sorts of greetings from the moment she entered the building until she had reached her own office. Su Ziyue looked at An Xia in an inexplicable manner. “What happened during the last week when I was not around?” she asked An Xia.

“I don’t know either. Nothing much happened, and everything was like usual yesterday.” An Xia felt odd as well.

Hence, Su Ziyue could only restrain the doubts she had in mind. It was until the meeting when she finally realized what had happened; Su Yige had been sent abroad all of a sudden. Right after the meeting, Su Ziyue was called over to Su Youcheng’s office.

“Ziyue, you’ve been resting for quite some time now. Are you feeling better?” Su Youcheng sounded concerned when he spoke.

On the other hand, Su Ziyue replied in a calm manner, “I’m doing rather fine. Thank you for your concern, Grandpa.”

In fact, Su Youcheng was only trying to act it out; if he really was concerned about her, how could he not give her any calls during the past week? Thinking about this, she was quite regretful that she had visited him in the hospital previously. He did not care about Su Ziyue anyway; all he cared about was Su Yige. Nonetheless, she could not deny the fact that Su Youcheng had let her grow up safely. Su Youcheng had skimped on her allowances, food and clothing, but he did not deprive her of everything completely.

She was thinking about Su Yige when Su Youcheng started mentioning her as well. “Recently, there’s a new project in one of the branches abroad that is about to take place. Yige was very interested in that project, and she’s experienced as well. However, she has departed overnight and won’t be back for at least another two to three months.”

Su Youcheng halted his words as if he was trying to observe Su Ziyue’s reaction—Su Ziyue did feel strange about this. Su Yige was doing just fine here; why did she head abroad all of a sudden? If she had not gotten it wrong, Su Yige’s wedding with Gong Zeyang would be held early next year. Moreover, how was she not worried about Gong Zeyang being left alone in the country? Furthermore, she would not be coming back for at least two to three months.

Nonetheless, Su Ziyue did not express her thoughts through her facial expressions; she only put on a smile on her face and said, “It seems like Yige is still quite ambitious in her career.”

“You’re right. That project is slightly complicated, and I’m not sure that it can be completed within three months’ time. She has left a mess just by leaving like this…”

Once Su Youcheng had started the conversation, it was as if he could not stop talking. He continued to speak endlessly as though he was discontented about Su Yige leaving the country all of a sudden. Su Ziyue listened to him quietly all this while and did not give any of her opinions either. In fact, she already had some other thoughts in mind; she had been absent from work for more than a week, and so she had to recall the projects that she was handling before she went on leave.

Su Youcheng had been talking for quite a while now. He raised his head to find Su Ziyue quietly listening to him nagging. To him, Su Ziyue was a person with great patience. He abruptly fell in awe before he waved his hand. “How about this? You shall take over Yige’s place for the time being.”

“Me?” Su Ziyue doubtfully pointed her finger toward herself after listening to Su Youcheng. Was he sure that he had not said something wrong? He wanted to let Su Ziyue take over Su Yige’s position? If that really was the case, she wouldn’t return the position even when Su Yige returned.

Su Youcheng noticed that Su Ziyue did not have a contented look on her face. He then put on a sullen expression, thinking that Su Ziyue was unwilling to do so. “Just do whatever I say.”

“Thank you for having faith in me, Grandpa.” Su Ziyue raised her head as she let out a confident smile. “I’ll be sure to not let you down.”

“Alright then. You can leave now.” Su Youcheng waved his hand while he spoke.
