Marry Me Quick

Chapter 208

If it was in the past, she would’ve gone to the study and interrupted them.

But after going through all those incidents, she could no longer find that confidence.

She only dared to act as she pleased in front of Qin Muchen because she thought she had a place in his heart.

Just because she thought that he loved her, she had the confidence to act without scruples.

But now, she could no longer do that.

After sitting on the sofa and staring off into space for a while, Bai Jingshu came out from the kitchen as well and sat beside her with a poker face.

Su Ziyue’s expression wasn’t any different from Bai Jingshu’s.

She turned to look at Bai Jingshu and noticed that he was sitting there with his head drooped. His initially firm and upright body seemed to be squashed by something, as if his strength had been completely drained.

Staring at him for a while, Su Ziyue asked, “Are you going to cry?”

Bai Jingshu raised his head to glare at her before swatting her hand away. Then, he leaned back and crossed his hands under his head while replying flatly, “I’m fine.”

Actually, he truly felt fine. He just felt dispirited when he recalled what Su Ziyue had said just now.

Su Ziyue blinked and put back the tissues.

Why did she feel that Bai Jingshu didn’t look fine but pitiful instead?

That made her wonder if her words had been too harsh just now.

After pondering, she decided to just let him be.

Every woman thought that a playful wealthy dandy would settle down for them, but this possibility was even slimmer than winning a 5 million lottery.

Perhaps after a few days, Bai Jingshu would lose interest in An Xia. After all, he had plenty of women beside him.

When Qin Muchen and Gu Hanyan came down, all they saw were those two in low spirits.

Su Ziyue had just been discharged from the hospital, so it was reasonable for her to be lethargic. However, it was just unusual for Bai Jingshu.

Seeing that, Gu Hanyan walked over and patted Bai Jingshu’s shoulder while turning her head to look at him. “Jingshu, what happened?”

“Nothing.” Bai Jingshu just shook his head without looking at her. Then, he stood up and shouted at Qin Muchen, “Muchen, I’m hungry! Quick, make me some food.”

He seemed to have instantly changed back to the playboy Bai Jingshu.

Looking at Bai Jingshu’s back, a trace of concern appeared in Su Ziyue’s eyes.

Meanwhile, Gu Hanyan seemed awkward because Bai Jingshu didn’t even give her a glance just now.

Instinctively, she thought that Su Ziyue must have said nasty things about her to Bai Jingshu, causing him to suddenly be indifferent to her.

“I’ve known Jingshu for more than 10 years, so we have a deep friendship. Don’t even think that you can destroy our friendship by getting in between us.”

Since Bai Jingshu and Qin Muchen weren’t there, Gu Hanyan didn’t bother to pretend and just talked without scruples.

Undeniably, Gu Hanyan had outstanding acting skills. Otherwise, people like Bai Jingshu wouldn’t be friends with her, let alone be friendly with her.

“I don’t know and I’m not interested in how many years you’ve known Bai Jingshu, or how deep your friendship is.” Su Ziyue took the remote control to turn on the television and continued, “And, you’re in my house now, so you better speak to me more politely. Otherwise, I can kick you out anytime!”

The three words ‘kick you out’ were emphasized by Su Ziyue, but her voice was low, so only Gu Hanyan and herself could hear it.

Upon hearing that, Gu Hanyan sneered. Then, she walked nearer to Su Ziyue, making them seem very close from their posture.

“I really can’t figure out what kind of tricks an unsophisticated woman like you used to dupe Muchen into marrying you. If you really want to kick me out, you can try, and we’ll see if Muchen will allow that!”

Gu Hanyan was confident in that because Qin Muchen wouldn’t let Su Ziyue act unreasonably.

Narrowing her eyes, Su Ziyue showed her a meaningful smile. “I’m indeed an unsophisticated woman. Therefore, I won’t apologize to you. However, I don’t think a woman like you, who covets someone else’s husband, is any better than me either. As for whether Qin Muchen will allow that, isn’t it obvious? Don’t you know how much he spoils me?”

“You!”

With that meaningful reminder from Su Ziyue, Gu Hanyan recalled what had happened when she previously visited Qin Muchen’s house. At once, she was at a loss for words, fuming.

Looking at how frustrated Gu Hanyan was because she couldn’t vent her anger, Su Ziyue was smug.

Even if she was disappointed in love, she shouldn’t be soft on her rival in love. She mustn’t give up her pride even if she was inferior to other people. But regardless, Qin Muchen wouldn’t know about it anyway.

She refused to stay alone with Gu Hanyan any longer. After all, she wasn’t fully healed yet, so she didn’t have any extra energy to waste on her.

When Su Ziyue stood up, Gu Hanyan said gloomily, “It isn't fair for Muchen since you have another man in your heart. Besides, Muchen doesn’t love you, so you better be sensible and step out of this relationship earlier. Then, you might save yourself the embarrassment in the future.”

Gu Hanyan’s voice was low and cold. She sounded threatening, and her words seemed to imply something.

Su Ziyue couldn’t understand the underlying meaning in her words, but she knew that Gu Hanyan had overheard her conversation with Qin Muchen.
