Chapter 19 I’m Just Exploiting You

  • Qin Muchen followed her from behind. He asked, “Why aren’t you going inside?”
  • “This doesn’t seem like my home. Let me see if we have gone to the wrong floor.” Su Ziyue checked the floor number expressionlessly.
  • A look of joy flashed across Qin Muchen’s eyes. He walked straight into the house, ignoring Su Ziyue.
  • As he expected, Su Ziyue charged inside furiously after a moment. Running up to Qin Muchen, she pointed at her apartment—which had all its walls torn down—and asked, “Did you do it?”
  • “Don’t you think that the house looks more spacious right now?”
  • Su Ziyue’s apartment initially had two bedrooms and a living room, but all its space-separating walls and doors were now torn down, connecting all the rooms. There was only one bed left in the apartment, but something else was added to the room.
  • The kitchen was turned into an open kitchen. The apartment looked completely brand new, without any trace of what it originally looked like.
  • “Why don’t you sleep on the streets if you want a spacious house?” Su Ziyue could no longer keep her cool in front of him. She was unable to keep calm; she was so angry that she wanted to beat him up!
  • How did he dare to tear her house down?
  • He had literally torn her house down!
  • In contrast to Su Ziyue’s anger, Qin Muchen looked very calm. He even had a gleeful look in his eyes, which he concealed perfectly.
  • However, he put on a serious face and said, “I’m really going to sleep on the streets if you lock me out again tonight.”
  • “I…” Su Ziyue felt a little guilty when she recalled that she had purposely locked him out last night, but she feigned braveness by saying, “Wasn’t there a room next door?”
  • “How could we sleep in separate rooms after being just married?” Qin Muchen shut her up with the words that she had previously said to him.
  • Su Ziyue bit her lip, but she could find no retort.
  • Then, Qin Muchen suddenly kissed her lips. “Be good and go wash yourself while I make dinner.”
  • Su Ziyue’s eyes widened at once. “You…”
  • Qin Muchen smiled while turning to head to the kitchen, leaving her standing alone in place blankly as a blush crept over her face.
  • That isn’t right. I should have given him a slap just now, she thought to herself. Despite that, she obediently picked up her clothes and entered the bathroom.
  • Upon hearing the bathroom door being closed, Qin Muchen, who was standing in front of the kitchen counter, raised his head slowly. Only then did the corners of his mouth curl upward into a cryptic smile.
  • To him, Su Ziyue was but a little girl; dealing with her was not an issue at all.
  • Qin Muchen made stewed beef with tomato for dinner, but Su Ziyue refrained from eating it.
  • Suddenly, Qin Muchen picked up a chunk of beef and put it into her bowl.
  • Su Ziyue paused. “I don’t like eating beef.”
  • “I know that you don’t like eating beef, but it is nutritious.” Qin Muchen looked up at her with a calm expression as though he fully believed what she said.
  • Su Ziyue could no longer restrain herself. She asked him, “I have such a bad temper, so why do you still put up with me? Why aren’t you angry?”
  • Qin Muchen put his chopsticks down and answered plainly, “Because I’m your husband.”
  • “But our relationship isn’t built on love. We have no feelings for each other. Do you know why I wanted to marry you? That was because my Grandpa said that I would get my shares once I get married. Nobody would marry me in Yunzhou City, but you’re gullible. You agreed to my suggestion as soon as I suggested that we marry!” Su Ziyue blurted out everything without a break. She stared at the stunned Qin Muchen, having no clue of what would happen next.
  • However, she had not made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with someone. She got married only because she had no other alternatives.
  • Qin Muchen was different. Not only was he patient and forgiving to her, he also said that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, which flustered her a little.
  • “These are not important, since I sincerely wanted to marry you.” Qin Muchen stared at Su Ziyue with a deep gaze, but she couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
  • “Don’t you understand what I said? I didn’t marry you for love; I’m just exploiting you!” Su Ziyue suddenly felt like blaming herself. Aside from the fact that she and Qin Muchen had spent a night together, he was actually a good man.
  • Qin Muchen suddenly laughed. “It’s an honor for me to be able to be exploited by you.”
