Marry Me Quick

Chapter 339

Gong Zeyang told her that her father was dead and when she mentioned her father to Lu Shichu, she could tell from Lu Shichu’s gaze that her father wasn’t alive anymore. However, she still couldn’t believe it. For so many years, she firmly believed that her father was still around. As Su Ziyue was looking at Qin Muchen with anticipation, she was hoping that he could give her a different answer. All she needed was for someone to tell her that her father was still alive. However…

“Don’t look at me like that.” Qin Muchen suddenly reached out his hand and covered Su Ziyue’s eyes. The careful look and anticipation he caught from her gaze made him feel distressed, but he couldn’t give her the answer she wanted, for Su Yizi was already dead.

Her vision suddenly became dark but she still could see a ray of light through the gap between Qin Muchen’s fingers. She stubbornly asked, “Where’s my father?”

He’s dead. Even though it was a few simple words, Qin Muchen couldn’t say it aloud no matter what. Seeing that she wasn’t getting any answer from him, Su Ziyue’s heart gradually turned cold. She no longer cared whether she could prove her father’s innocence. All she wanted to hear was that he was still alive.

Qin Muchen felt a warm dampness in his palms. Even though it was warmish, he quickly drew away his hand as if he was scalded. Then, he saw that Su Ziyue’s face was covered in tears.

With tears rolling down her face, Su Ziyue wailed and screamed, “That’s impossible! How could my father be dead?” Qin Muchen held her tightly without saying a word, feeling helpless. A few years ago, in order to escape from Qin Yuchuan’s control, he worked hard to climb up the ladder. He thought that power could help him settle with everything. It was only until he met Su Ziyue did he realize that that was useless. There was no turning back time, and whatever that had happened was irreversible. No money and power could help them retrieve their lost children and loved ones.

Heartbroken, Su Ziyue tugged onto Qin Muchen’s clothes and cried, “I… I don’t believe you…” Her hopes of more than ten years shattered in an instant, and she felt as if there was a huge black hole in her heart pulling her into desperation like a whirlpool. It hurt so much that she felt as if she was suffocating. My father would never return again no matter how long. Never.

“My… father… will never come back…” Su Ziyue kept sobbing and she stuttered as she spoke in a helpless and desperate tone, like a vulnerable child. Qin Muchen continued to hug her and didn’t even dare to move an inch. “Don’t cry.”

He didn’t know how to comfort her. When Qin Li suddenly passed away, he was sad too and he also cried secretly. However, he soon persuaded himself to accept the reality. But, Su Ziyue was different. She had kept a small hope within her for more than ten years, only to have that tiny string of hope disappear in an instant. After a while, Su Ziyue finally calmed down a little. She sounded breathless as she said, “I don’t want to stay in the hospital.”

Hearing this, Qin Muchen gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead and assured, “Okay. Let’s leave the hospital now.”

Against the doctor’s advice, both of them packed up and returned to the hotel. They didn’t bring much, so Qin Muchen packed everything up himself while Su Ziyue watched him by the side. Then, her tears started to well up again so she got up and went to the washroom. By the time she came out, Qin Muchen was already done and was waiting for her.

Qin Muchen held her by the hand and said, “Let’s go.” However, Su Ziyue glanced back inadvertently and asked, “Where’s the doll?”

He was taken aback by her question. “I lost it.” At that time, he didn’t have the energy to bother for that old doll. Hearing this, Su Ziyue nodded in reply, but she felt a little upset as the doll was given to her by Qin Muchen.

Back at the hotel, Su Ziyue had a bite before she went to bed. Her sleep was anything but restful because she dreamed about the day that Su Yizi went to the charity dinner. She had a fever that day, so Su Yizi forbade her from having ice cream. When Su Yizi left the house, she was still mad at him. Before leaving, he patted her head and looked at her lovingly as he said, “Yue, take a good rest at home. Don’t eat any ice cream. I’ll be back soon.” After that, he never returned. She dreamed that she was waiting for him under the jujube tree in the front yard…

Dad… Su Ziyue woke up from her dream. The room was a little dark and the bedside lamp was still on, but the other side of the bed was empty. Su Ziyue got out of bed and drew the curtains. The sunlight instantly poured its way in, and the room turned bright. She called out, “Qin Muchen?” However, there was no response. She searched the bathroom but she couldn’t see Qin Muchen in sight either.

Just then, she heard a knock on the door. “Room service.” Su Ziyue walked over, opened the door, and saw that it was the hotel waiter.

He then wheeled in the dining cart and as he placed the dishes down, he said, “Good day to you! Your husband has ordered some food for you.”

Hearing this, Su Ziyue asked, “Where is he?” When the waiter was done placing down the food items, he smiled and replied, “He went out after ordering the food. We don’t know where he went either. Perhaps you could give him a call?”

“Thank you.”
