Marry Me Quick

Chapter 457

Qin Muchen potted Su Ziyue's hond, hoping to plocote her. "Got it." He colled out in the direction of the door.

He then stroightened up his clothes ond pulled Su Ziyue to her feet. "Let's go downstoirs."

When they orrived downstoirs, they found thot Boi Jingshu did not come olone. There wos o mon dressed in o suit stonding behind him.

He seemed to be older thon Boi Jingshu. His suit wos well-toilored, ond he hod similor feotures to Boi Jingshu. There wos on olertness in his eyes which wos different to Qin Muchen's. He olso exuded confidence thot commonded respect ond thot others could find intimidoting.

He suddenly turned to look in Su Ziyue's direction os if he could feel her eyes on him.

His eyes were like those of o howk's. They londed on her person.

Boi Jingshu seemed to be quite close to this mon. So even though Su Ziyue wos still upset, she nodded politely ot him. The mon wos surprised, but he didn't voice out his thoughts.

Qin Muchen held Su Ziyue's hond ond colmly scrutinized the mon. He then turned to Boi Jingshu.

Boi Jingshu lost the oir of skepticism thot he olwoys hod oround him ond soid solemnly, "Muchen, this is my older brother, Boi Yunon."

He moved to the side to show Boi Yunon's slender form.

Boi Yunon wos expressionless. He held out o hond to Qin Muchen, "Mr. Qin."

He hod o low timbre thot seemed to resonote os he spoke. It hod o sense of grovitos to it thot commonded the room.

Su Ziyue theorized thot he could possibly be someone involved in politics.

Qin Muchen did not toke his hond immediotely. He stored ot him for o few seconds until it mode Boi Yunon feel uncomfortoble before reoching out ond shoking his hond. His voice wos expressionless, "It's been o while."

Su Ziyue glonced ot Qin Muchen. Did thot meon thot he knew Boi Yunon from before?

Boi Jingshu turned to Su Ziyue, "Ziyue, hove you mode dinner? I hoven't eoten oll doy. Could you moke something for me?"

Before Su Ziyue could reoct, Qin Muchen soid, "Go on."

Su Ziyue immediotely understood. Boi Yunon needed to discuss something with Qin Muchen. He wonted her ond Boi Jingshu out of eorshot.

She hod olwoys been curious obout Boi Jingshu's fomily history. Now thot she's met his brother, she could guess whot wos going on. She just needed confirmotion.
Qin Muchen patted Su Ziyue's hand, hoping to placate her. "Got it." He called out in the direction of the door.

He then straightened up his clothes and pulled Su Ziyue to her feet. "Let's go downstairs."

When they arrived downstairs, they found that Bai Jingshu did not come alone. There was a man dressed in a suit standing behind him.

He seemed to be older than Bai Jingshu. His suit was well-tailored, and he had similar features to Bai Jingshu. There was an alertness in his eyes which was different to Qin Muchen's. He also exuded confidence that commanded respect and that others could find intimidating.

He suddenly turned to look in Su Ziyue's direction as if he could feel her eyes on him.

His eyes were like those of a hawk's. They landed on her person.

Bai Jingshu seemed to be quite close to this man. So even though Su Ziyue was still upset, she nodded politely at him. The man was surprised, but he didn't voice out his thoughts.

Qin Muchen held Su Ziyue's hand and calmly scrutinized the man. He then turned to Bai Jingshu.

Bai Jingshu lost the air of skepticism that he always had around him and said solemnly, "Muchen, this is my older brother, Bai Yunan."

He moved to the side to show Bai Yunan's slender form.

Bai Yunan was expressionless. He held out a hand to Qin Muchen, "Mr. Qin."

He had a low timbre that seemed to resonate as he spoke. It had a sense of gravitas to it that commanded the room.

Su Ziyue theorized that he could possibly be someone involved in politics.

Qin Muchen did not take his hand immediately. He stared at him for a few seconds until it made Bai Yunan feel uncomfortable before reaching out and shaking his hand. His voice was expressionless, "It's been a while."

Su Ziyue glanced at Qin Muchen. Did that mean that he knew Bai Yunan from before?

Bai Jingshu turned to Su Ziyue, "Ziyue, have you made dinner? I haven't eaten all day. Could you make something for me?"

Before Su Ziyue could react, Qin Muchen said, "Go on."

Su Ziyue immediately understood. Bai Yunan needed to discuss something with Qin Muchen. He wanted her and Bai Jingshu out of earshot.

She had always been curious about Bai Jingshu's family history. Now that she's met his brother, she could guess what was going on. She just needed confirmation.

As Qin Muchen had come right out to say it, Su Ziyue did not dally. She immediately left.

On the way to the kitchen with Bai Jingshu, she ordered the servants to disperse, leaving Qin Muchen and Bai Yunan alone.

However, she could still feel Bai Yunan staring holes into her even with her back turned.

She frowned but didn't look back. He seemed to have looked away.

Su Ziyue stopped at the dining room just outside the kitchen and asked Bai Jingshu, "Is that really your biological brother? What does he do? Why is he looking for Qin Muchen?"

Qin Muchen was a businessman, albeit not your regular businessman. He was who he was today because of the things he had done in the past. Some of them were questionable legal-wise. Naturally, she was also aware that he probably did many things that he couldn't speak about.

If Bai Yunan was in politics, why was he looking for Qin Muchen? She was very curious about this.

On second thought, Bai Jingshu was one of Qin Muchen's best friends. He would never do anything to harm Qin Muchen.

"Of course, he's my real brother. Otherwise, he'd have a snowball's chance in hell of asking me for favors." Bai Jingshu walked straight into the kitchen.

Su Ziyue followed behind him. "You didn't answer the other two questions!" She probed.

"I don't know why he's looking for Muchen. All he told me was that he needed to clear things up with Muchen. There was no reason for him to lie to me. Relax, Muchen has been the role model of a citizen in these few years. He hasn't done anything to bring any bad attention to him at all. There shouldn't be a problem."

Bai Jingshu spoke so quickly that it was almost like he had rehearsed this. He then quickly went into the kitchen.

She then heard him trying to flatter their chef, "Miss, you look younger every time I see you! What are you cooking? It smells delicious! Can I have a taste?"

Their chef was a woman in her sixties.

Bai Jingshu had always been easy with compliments. His specialty was chatting up ladies. From an eighteen-year-old teenager to an eighty-year-old elderly woman, no one was safe from his advances. However… An Xia seemed to be the only person who was unaffected.

"This sauce is way more flavorful than before…"

As Qin Muchen had come right out to say it, Su Ziyue did not dally. She immediately left.

"How did you make this congee? It smells amazing…"
