Marry Me Quick

Chapter 128

The smile on Su Ziyue’s face faded a little. “I came to visit Gu Hanyan, who is wounded. She was smashed by the falling overhead light while saving me at the studio yesterday.”

Lu Shichu’s expression turned serious. “Why would the overhead light fall?”

“Who knows?” Su Ziyue’s focus wasn’t on that at all. “Perhaps the light wasn’t installed correctly; maybe one of the screws had loosened or something like that. The point isn’t this…”

Su Ziyue frowned as she put the glass of water in her hand down with an unconcerned expression. “The matter is a little complicated anyway.”

Lu Shichu was indeed very busy these few days, but he did hear that a movie star had been staying in this hospital, though he never cared about that. Never did he expect this to be the story behind the movie star’s hospitalization.

“Let’s wait until tomorrow’s press conference. The matter has to be resolved anyway.” Su Ziyue checked the time and said, “It’s getting late, so I have to go home first. I still have tons of work in the afternoon.”

“Let me see you out,” said Lu Shichu as he stood up.

Su Ziyue wanted to refuse him since she also knew that he was busy, but he had walked outside before she could do so.

After stepping out of the office, she looked back and pointed at the sign on the door. “By the way… How did you become the Deputy Director?”

“This hospital belongs to my family,” explained Lu Shichu softly as he raised his brows.

Su Ziyue nodded her head in realization upon hearing his words.

She had always known that the Lu Family was a family with its roots in the medical field, but she was no longer Lu Shichu’s neighbor since she was nine years old, so even though she knew that his family had a hospital, she did not know which hospital it was.

Lu Shichu saw her to the door and said, “Feel free to come often…”

He broke off in the middle of his sentence and smiled in resignation before continuing, “Don’t visit the hospital at your whim.”

“Okay.” Su Ziyue was amused by his words. Shichu has always been such a considerate and warm person, she thought to herself.

Just then, a Bentley stopped beside them, and its passenger side window wound down, revealing Bai Jingshu, who stuck his head out of the window. He said with a smile, “What a coincidence to see you here, Doctor Lu.”

Lu Shichu’s eyes flickered briefly when he saw Bai Jingshu. He replied, “Hello, Mr. Bai.”

A look of surprise flashed across Su Ziyue’s eyes, and she directed her gaze toward the driver’s seat without her realizing it.

The next instant, the driver’s side door was opened, and Qin Muchen stepped out of the car in a well-ironed suit. His slender figure grabbed all Su Ziyue’s attention at once.

“Qin Muchen!” she called him in surprise while taking a step toward him subconsciously. Then, seeming to have recalled something, she turned to look at Lu Shichu.

Lu Shichu glanced at Qin Muchen. As the two men’s gazes met, they gave each other a slight nod before averting their gazes naturally.

Lu Shichu noticed what Su Ziyue did just now, and he could see that Su Ziyue was very dependent on Qin Muchen.

One would step toward another person upon seeing the latter without the former realizing it only when the former was subconsciously very dependent on the latter.

Lu Shichu suddenly felt a little despondent, for Su Ziyue used to be very dependent on him.

He gave an inaudible sigh, yet he sounded as usual when he said, “Go with him. I still have some work to take care of.”

His eyes flickered right after he finished his sentence. Then, he raised his hand and patted Su Ziyue’s head before turning around to walk into the hospital.

Dumbfounded, Su Ziyue shot a glance at Lu Shichu’s back. She couldn’t help feeling that what he did just now was too affectionate. Moreover, Qin Muchen had been staring at them all the while.

She touched her head before turning around to trot toward Qin Muchen. Then, she lifted her head and asked him, “Why are you here?”

Qin Muchen’s gaze fell upon the top of her head before it quickly moved away. His voice was devoid of emotion, but one could easily tell the hidden anger in it as he asked, “Why didn’t you answer my call?”

“What call?” asked Su Ziyue in reply. Only then did she recall that she had silenced her cell phone while having the meeting at the Su Group earlier.

She quickly took out her cell phone and looked at its screen, only then did she realize that she had three missed calls, all of which were from Qin Muchen.

“I didn’t hear my cell phone ringing because I put it on silent mode earlier…” Su Ziyue stole a careful glance at Qin Muchen’s expression and noticed that he looked a little frosty.

She thought at first that she did nothing wrong, but after seeing the look on his face, she lowered her voice in spite of herself.

Qin Muchen was apparently unmoved since he did not even twitch his brow.

Bai Jingshu, who was ignored all the while, also opened the car door and stepped out of the car. “Hey, how long do the both of you want to stand here? Since we have come, why don’t we go inside to visit Hanyan together?”

Su Ziyue turned to glance at Bai Jingshu upon hearing his words. She wanted to say that she had already visited Gu Hanyan, but she still turned to Qin Muchen and asked, “Do you want to go inside to visit her?”

Qin Muchen frowned slightly. He had been avoiding unnecessary suspicions by minimizing his contact with Gu Hanyan, but it was only reasonable for him to visit her since she was his long-time friend. After all, he had come here anyway.

“Let’s go,” he said.

After Qin Muchen finished his sentence, Su Ziyue felt that her hand was wrapped in a large hand as he dragged her forward.

Bai Jingshu looked at Qin Muchen in surprise, but he did not say another word.

Gu Hanyan sat on the sofa while waiting for Meng after she hung up the phone. However, after waiting for a long time, she saw Su Ziyue, Qin Muchen, and Bai Jingshu instead of Meng.
