Marry Me Quick

Chapter 319

At noon—

Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue went out for lunch.

After they ordered their meal, Su Ziyue was talking to the waiter when they heard a thud.

Su Ziyue then turned around and saw that Qin Muchen’s cup had fallen to the ground.

Before she could speak, Qin Muchen explained, “I accidentally dropped it.”

He sounded anxious.

Su Ziyue didn’t think too much about it and called over the waiter to clean it up. She then poured Qin Muchen another glass of water.

Seeing that Su Ziyue didn’t really mind, Qin Muchen let out a sigh of relief secretly.

He glanced down at his left hand, his expression gloomy.

……

The two of them were about to leave the restaurant after eating when a little boy suddenly ran up to them out of nowhere.

The little boy seemed to be about three years old; he was an energetic and fat little boy.

He was running mindlessly and bumped into Su Ziyue’s leg.

Su Ziyue was talking to Qin Muchen, so she was caught off guard. After the little boy bumped into her, she staggered back a few steps before she steadied herself.

She did not forget to hold the little boy as well so that he did not fall down.

“Haohao! Don’t run around!”

At this moment, a young woman walked toward them.

She glanced in Su Ziyue’s direction with a slightly anxious expression on her face. “Haohao, come here!”

The little boy, who Su Ziyue was holding on to, chuckled and ran toward the woman. “Mom!”

His mother reached out to catch him and immediately carried him up before lecturing him softly and then smiling apologetically at Su Ziyue. “I’m sorry, are you alright? My son is a naughty kid!”

Su Ziyue shook her head quickly. “I’m fine.”

Then, she looked at the little boy named Haohao and asked her, “How old is he?”

“He’s three-and-a-half years old. He’s so naughty that his dad and I are at our wits’ end… He’s quite clever though, and he learned to walk and talk at a very young age. When he was just one year old, he already knew how to play hide and seek with me and his dad. He’s such a worrisome child…“

Probably all mothers in the world liked to ramble about their children even if the other party was a stranger.

Su Ziyue was originally listening to her with a slight smile, but when she heard the words ‘one year old’, her expression suddenly changed.

If her baby was born safely, he would have been one year old now.

When the woman realized that Su Ziyue’s expression had soured, she stopped and said, “Haohao, say goodbye to this miss and mister.”

“Good-bye, miss and mister!” The little boy called Haohao obediently bade farewell. His bright black eyes were darting everywhere as if he was planning to do something mischievous.

With a lump forming in her throat, Su Ziyue forced out a smile and said goodbye before walking out.

Qin Muchen, who stood beside her just now, noticed her expression as well, and his face darkened.

Before leaving, he looked at the child again.

……

Su Ziyue walked outside the restaurant, feeling suffocated as if a tuft of cotton was stuck in her throat.

She pressed her lips together tightly, swallowed, and looked up to the sky for a long time before she finally calmed down.

Meanwhile, Qin Muchen stood not far behind her and did not walk over to her.

He looked at Su Ziyue's thin figure, and his fist, which was hanging beside him, slowly tightened. Then, he strode forward when he felt that she was going to look back.

Su Ziyue looked up, and the dark look on her face was already gone. “I’m going back to work now.”

“Okay.”

Qin Muchen replied and said, “Go ahead.”

Su Ziyue turned to leave, but was stopped by Qin Muchen from behind.

“Su Ziyue!”

“What?”

Su Ziyue turned around, thereafter Qin Muchen stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms. Soon after, his hot and urgent kiss fell on her lips.

Su Ziyue was leaning against him with her arms folded, and when she remembered that they were on the streets filled with pedestrians, her face reddened, and she reached out to push him away.

Qin Muchen stopped in time and put his chin on her thin shoulder as he said softly, “Don’t push me away.”

Don’t push me away physically or psychologically.

Su Ziyue was frightened by the vulnerable tone in Qin Muchen’s voice and dared not push him anymore. She then asked, “What’s wrong?”

However, Qin Muchen pushed her away at this moment with a small smile on his face. “Go back to work. I will pick you up after I get off work.”

As he spoke, he combed through her hair which was messed up by the kiss with his fingers; his movements were incredibly gentle.

“Then I’ll leave first. You don’t need to pick me up at night. I drove here by myself, so I can drive back.”

This time, Qin Muchen did not stop her.

After walking a distance, Su Ziyue looked back and found that Qin Muchen was still standing there.

Across the busy road, she still saw him at a glance.

Behind him were tall buildings and trees and people were walking past him, yet he just stood there motionlessly. He was an energetic and compelling man, but somehow, intense sadness and boundless depression were emanating from him.
