Marry Me Quick

Chapter 123

Gu Hanyan was a beauty. With her current condition, it made her seem gentler, which was a look that would strike sympathy in people’s hearts.

Su Ziyue pulled out the simple table from the bed and placed the food she bought on it.

Gu Hanyan said softly, “Ziyue, don’t take Meng’s behavior to heart. She has been spoiled by me.”

Ziyue?

“Miss Gu, we’re not that close.” Su Ziyue took out a single-use chopstick before placing it nicely in front of Gu Hanyan.

She recalled that she had never served anyone in this manner before.

Even though she had helped Qin Muchen so many times before this, she had never been treated this way. The thought of this made her feel like she had been mistreated.

“Don’t be like this, Ziyue. There aren’t any outsiders here.” Gu Hanyan was looking into her eyes as if she was looking at a kid who was throwing a tantrum.

Su Ziyue paused for a moment.

Gu Hanyan’s gaze resembled the way Qin Muchen looked at her when she was throwing tantrums.

This made her recall some of the things which she had neglected.

When Qin Muchen was giving her his explanation, he only mentioned that Gu Hanyan and him were friends. There was nothing out of the ordinary between them.

However, he did not tell her how he met with Gu Hanyan and how long they had known each other.

It was plain to see that Bai Jingshu treated Gu Hanyan quite well.

Although Bai Jingshu might usually seem like a spoiled, wealthy kid, seemingly treating every woman well, he still knew the kind of relationship they had.

The kindness that he treated Gu Hanyan with was the kind of natural affection between friends after knowing each other for a long time.

This was enough to explain that Gu Hanyan and Qin Muchen had known each other for quite some time.

Meng, who was standing at the side, interrupted, “Su Ziyue, what is going on with you? Hanyan is thinking highly of you…”

“Can you shut up?” Su Ziyue turned her head toward Meng and threw a cold stare at her.

Just because she did not say anything, Meng had really treated her like a weakling, a target whom she could simply bully.

“What’s this attitude that you’re giving me?” The way Meng looked at her was like an old mistress looking at a rebelling young lady.

Su Ziyue silently let out a snort before turning her head back to Gu Hanyan. “Did you see my dog when you came to my house the other day, Miss Gu?”

Gu Hanyan glanced at Meng before shifting her gaze toward Su Ziyue. She did not know what Ziyue was up to, but she still smilingly nodded. “Yes, I did. Jingshu told me it was called Beef. A fitting name indeed.”

“Sure indeed. It’s adorable, but it’s very stubborn and naughty as well. If your dog is naughty, just discipline it a few more times and that’ll do the trick. It’s no biggie.”

While Su Ziyue was talking, she turned her head to catch a glimpse of Meng, as if she was implying something else. Gu Hanyan’s expression had slightly changed as well.

“You…” Meng obviously knew that Su Ziyue was actually insinuating that she was the naughty dog. Nonetheless, she did not finish her sentence.

Si Ziyue knew that she was acting on impulse. After all, Gu Hanyan had saved her, so she still had to take Gu Hanyan’s pride into consideration regardless.

However, Meng’s words became more and more intemperate. Nevertheless, Gu Hanyan did not stop her. Instead, she only asked Su Ziyue to not take it to heart.

That couldn’t be done, for she was being pampered by Qin Muchen, so she had a bad temper as well. It would be a surprise if she did not mind that.

“Have your dinner first. After you’re finished, take a good rest.” Su Ziyue pushed the dishes toward her. After pondering for a moment, she lifted her gaze and looked at Gu Hanyan with sincerity. “Thank you for what you did.”

Although she found it quite hard to believe that Gu Hanyan would save her, it remained a fact that Gu Hanyan had done so in the end.

Gu Hanyan only let out a chuckle and did not say anything else.

At this moment, Su Ziyue’s phone rang.

After taking her phone out, she realized that it was Qin Muchen who was calling her.

She normally got off from work at five. She had been working overtime for the past two days, so she had been going home late. That was why he only called her after he was done cooking.

After all these that had happened on this day, she had forgotten to give Qin Muchen a call.

“Excuse me. I have to take this.” She lifted her head and glanced at Gu Hanyan before stepping out to answer the call.

She then answered the call when she was outside of the ward. “Hello.”

Su Ziyue was holding her phone on one hand while touching her face with the other. It was only with that touch did she realize that her face was swollen; she had been so busy that she didn’t realize that her face had become so puffy due to the slap.

“Have you gotten off from work? I cooked your favorite dish.”

Qin Muchen’s voice that came from the other end of the call sounded attractive as usual. It had an electrifying effect on her, for it sounded incredibly magnetic and sexy to her ears.

Leaning against the wall while listening to his voice, Su Ziyue’s mind suddenly calmed down. Then, she slowly told him about everything that had happened.

In the end, before she even finished talking, the call ended.

Su Ziyue said ‘hello’ a few more times, but only silence answered her.

She frustratedly leaned against the wall for a few moments. She knew that Qin Muchen must be on his way here, so she turned around and returned to the ward.

Meanwhile, the moment Su Ziyue stepped out of the ward, Gu Hanyan said in a cold voice, “Meng.”
