Marry Me Quick

Chapter 47

The weather became cooler as it was autumn in Yunzhou City; days passed as usual and it seemed like everything had gone back to normal, just like how it used to be. Life went on slowly in a calm and peaceful manner.

At noon, Su Ziyue had just come back from another interview. During this period of time, she went for several interviews at different companies. However, she wasn’t very satisfied with the offers provided by the companies, but the offers provided by the company she interviewed at today were pretty good. Hence, she thought she could give it a try.

She noticed it was raining outside when she got out of the company. Although the rain wasn’t heavy, it was drizzling miserably, which was rather irritating.

Covering her head with her bag, Su Ziyue ran to the roadside to hail a cab when a black car stopped beside the road; the car window rolled down slowly, while Su Ziyue turned her head and saw it was Su Yige.

“Get in.” A disdainful look crossed Su Yige’s face when she noticed Su Ziyue covering her head with her bag.

Pretending she didn’t hear Su Yige, Su Ziyue continued to walk several steps forward and was about to hail a cab.

Su Yige had no choice but to reverse her car. “There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s about the shares your father left you!”

Su Ziyue stopped in her tracks when she heard that.

“Just say it.” Su Ziyue stood in front of the car window without having any means of getting into the car.

Su Yige gritted her teeth before she got out of the car, holding an umbrella in her hand. She passed the document she was holding in her hand to Su Ziyue. “As long as you come back to the office and sign this document, you can have the shares your father left you.”

Of course, Su Ziyue wouldn’t actually think that Su Yige and Su Youcheng would be so kind as to give her back the shares. However, she was reluctant to reject Su Yige’s offer.

Despite having all the thoughts flashed through her mind, her face remained expressionless. “Go on and finish what you have to say. Do you guys want to threaten me again? What do you guys plan to make me do this time?”

“You…”

Su Yige grimaced when she heard Su Ziyue’s rude retort.

“Just say it frankly if there’s anything you want to say. It’s just the two of us here, so stop pretending.” Su Ziyue narrowed her eyes as she looked at Su Yige with an irritated look on her face.

Su Yige didn’t argue with her even though she was angry. “There’s only one condition—you have to come back to work at the company, and the shares your father left you will be yours.”

Su Ziyue stared at her without saying a word.

“Just take it! Come to the office and look for Grandpa after you make up your mind about it.” As she said, Su Yige shoved the document she was holding in her hand toward Su Ziyue.

Her hand just brushed through Su Ziyue lightly, but the latter fell down suddenly.

Before Su Yige knew what had happened, she saw Gong Zeyang coming out of nowhere and helping Su Ziyue to her feet.

He turned to glare at Su Yige with a reproachful look in his eyes. “Yige, why can’t you be more careful and gentler? Don’t be so unladylike!”

“I’m not. I didn’t even…” Su Yige tried to defend herself immediately, but before she could finish her sentence, she noticed that something was off.

Su Ziyue, who was still being held by Gong Zeyang, carefully withdrew her arms from his grasp. She said softly, “Yige didn’t mean it. Zeyang, don’t be mad at her.”。

Su Yige was someone who liked to use tricks and schemes, so she knew immediately that Su Ziyue pretended to fall down because she saw Gong Zeyang just now.

“Ziyue, just now, you…” Although Su Yige was talking to Su Ziyue, she bit her lips and gazed at Gong Zeyang instead with a guilt-ridden look on her face. She thought Gong Zeyang would side with her just like he always did before this.

However, Gong Zeyang’s heart melted instantly because it had been a while since Su Ziyue called him

that way. Therefore, he unknowingly sided with Su Ziyue instead.

Without paying much attention to the guilt-ridden look on Su Yige’s face, Gong Zeyang said directly, “I’ll send Ziyue home now since her clothes are soaking wet to keep her from catching a cold. Yige, we’ll have dinner tomorrow.”

As he finished, he pulled Su Ziyue away and got into his car without even waiting for Su Yige’s reply.

Earlier on, when Su Ziyue saw Gong Zeyang parking his car and walking toward them, an idea crossed her mind. Suddenly, she thought it would be a good opportunity to try out the so-called innocent girl’s exclusive skill; she didn’t expect that the trick would work out perfectly fine on Gong Zeyang.

Su Ziyue turned and glanced at Su Yige. Still using her gentle voice, she said, “Yige, I’ll go back first then…”

Despite almost exploding with anger, Su Yige had to force a smile on her face. “Goodbye, Ziyue.”

Very pleased with Su Yige’s reaction, Su Ziyue smiled while she followed Gong Zeyang and got into his car.

When she was in his car, she was thinking about how to get rid of Gong Zeyang; she certainly didn’t want him to know where she stayed.

Pretending to be meek and gentle, Su Ziyue lowered her eyes and said, “Zeyang, maybe you should just drop me by the roadside at the front, I don’t want Yige to misunderstand our relationship.”

“What’s there to misunderstand about? She and I are much older than you, so we should take care of

you,” Gong Zeyang said while driving. Suddenly, he continued in a low voice, “We used to…”

“Zeyang, everything’s in the past now, so you don’t have to worry about that anymore.”

Su Ziyue lowered her head to prevent Gong Zeyang from noticing the disgusted look that flickered in her eyes. She wondered how she managed to address him so intimately by his name before this.

“Maybe I should address you as Mr. Gong instead, just so Yige won’t misunderstand us.”

Su Ziyue smirked. It’s impossible for Yige to stop messing with me, let alone looking after me! That’s just the most ridiculous joke of the year I’ve ever heard!

“It’s my fault for misunderstanding you before this. We haven’t seen each other for so long, and I can’t believe you’ve become such a thoughtful person.” Gong Zeyang sounded a little dejected.

Su Ziyue turned to glance at him before looking away again quickly.

When she was young, Gong Zeyang had treated her nicely indeed. She wouldn’t have fallen in love with him before this if he wasn’t nice to her. In fact, she would probably still like him now if she didn’t hear him say those words in the shopping mall that time. After all, he was someone whom she had a crush on when she was young; even if she didn’t like him now, she couldn’t bring herself to hate him either.

“Mr. Gong, you can drop me here. The residential area I stay in is just somewhere in front. You don’t have to send me over there.” Su Ziyue didn’t want to stay with Gong Zeyang anymore, getting tired of dealing with him.

She wasn’t sure what Gong Zeyang had on his mind, but he nodded before removing his coat and wrapped it around Su Ziyue. He took an umbrella and gave it to her. “Alright then, you can get down now.”

In order to put on a complete show, Su Ziyue had to get off the car with his coat around her and his umbrella in her hand. After getting out of the car, she turned around immediately and left without stopping or waving goodbye at him.

Gong Zeyang drove away only after watching her enter the residential area.

Hiding behind a large plant, Su Ziyue walked out after she saw that Gong Zeyang had left. She threw the coat and umbrella into a garbage bin before hailing a cab and went home.

When Su Ziyue reached home, she ordered food delivery; she had a headache after having her dinner, so she went to sleep early.

However, she noticed that the longer she slept, the more tired she got. In the end, she felt dizzy and her body became heavy, feeling as though she couldn’t wake up anymore.

She woke up once when it was seven o’clock in the evening and went back to sleep after having no energy to get out of bed; she realized she had a flu. However, she didn’t have the energy to even get up and take some flu medicine. Thus, she just wrapped herself in a blanket and continued to sleep for as long as possible—perhaps she would recover after a long slumber.

She had no idea how long she had been sleeping; in her half-conscious state, Su Ziyue noticed someone feeling her forehead, the sensation cool and soothing. She then inched upward involuntarily.

After a while, she noticed there was an icy cold sensation on her forehead together with several voices talking too. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Being in a half-conscious state, Su Ziyue was awake for a while, but the next moment, she was in a haze again. She just couldn’t wake up.

When she finally opened her eyes, she noticed that the room was in complete darkness. Su Ziyue also felt that something was weighing down on her waist; she tried to move her body but failed to do so.

She was dazed for a while before she suddenly noticed another person’s breathing sound beside her.

There was a person beside her!
