Chapter 365
Qin Muchen kept aside one set of clothes and hung the rest in the closet. With that set of clothes in his hand, he
went to the bedside and placed it on the bed before telling her in a low voice, “Take a shower.”
Su Ziyue rolled over and sat upright. Then, she grabbed the clothes and went into the bathroom. Subsequently, Qin
Muchen took out the cigarettes from the bedside drawers and his pockets before throwing them out in the trash bin
at the end of the corridor outside.
In the evening, when they just reached the hotel entrance on their way out for dinner, Qin Muchen received a call
from Princess Aika. His brows furrowed deeply as he simply couldn’t bring himself to like the only princess from
Country J even the slightest bit! Despite that, he knew that if he kept rejecting her calls, she would just keep calling.
He patted Su Ziyue’s shoulder lightly and walked in the direction of the car park while answering the call from
Princess Aika. “What is it?” he asked curtly, full of annoyance in his voice.
Princess Aika’s tone of voice wasn’t any better, either. “Randy, what sort of men did you send to me? They’re all so
useless and aren’t even a match for me. Are you sure they can protect me? If any accident should happen to me
while I’m in Country Z, your grandfather can forget about living a good life in Country J!”
As the beloved youngest daughter of the Queen of Country J, Princess Aika was not only showered with love, but
she was also really smart and gifted linguistically and in martial arts, and she had always been able to put up a
fight.
Qin Muchen had also heard about all this, but he couldn’t believe that she had really defeated all his men. With a
snort, he said, “Really? The next time you want to spar with them, please do tell them not to hold back.”
This made her speechless and she merely uttered, “You!” After she recovered, she added, “I have to admit that
your men are not bad at all, but they still can’t give me a sense of security. I only know you in Country Z, so I want
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou to protect me personally!”
Without any hesitation, Qin Muchen hung up the call straight away.
On the other end of the line, Princess Aika cursed loudly when she heard the dead dial tone. “Jerk!” She had never
met such an arrogant man and was convinced that she would be able to make this man bow down to her! In that
instant, all the haughtiness and willfulness in her were ignited.
Casually setting his phone aside, Qin Muchen then drove the car out of the car park and the both of them went to a
renowned restaurant, Nine Oriental Pavilion, in Jincheng City. It was said that the ancestors of the owner of the
restaurant were imperial chefs in the palace, and they had passed down the trade from one generation to the next.
Over time, their reputation built up and many people came from afar because it was a popular place. Often, it was
difficult to even get a reservation.
“Could you get a reservation?” After the words left her lips, Su Ziyue felt that she was an idiot to even ask Qin
Muchen such a question.
Qin Muchen glanced at her. “Whatever you want, I’ll get it for you.”
Su Ziyue couldn’t help but crack up. Qin Muchen then asked, “Do you want a seat in a private room or the general
dining hall?”
“The general dining hall is fine. It would be even better if it’s a window seat,” she replied, thinking that they could
enjoy the view if they sat beside the window.
When they arrived, the restaurant was already filled with people on the first floor so they went straight to the
second floor, where the waiter led them to a seat by the window. Su Ziyue was a little surprised that he could really
reserve a window seat.
Seeing the surprised look on her face, he chuckled. “I’ve already made the reservation when we were still in the
hotel. I guessed that you would like this seat.”
Glaring at him, she asked, “Then why did you still ask me?”
“Just in case,” he said calmly.
In the meantime, Princess Aika was throwing a tantrum in her room. “I want to have dinner with your boss, Randy!
I’m not eating unless he’s here! Otherwise, you’ll have to tell me where he is!” When she came to Country Z, she
had kept a low-profile the whole time and didn’t bring many people with her. Besides the four servants who took
care of her, everyone else was arranged by Qin Muchen for her.
However, Qin Muchen had already instructed his people not to give in to her too much and could totally ignore her
if she made any unreasonable requests. Seeing that everyone was silent, Princess Aika’s fury heightened. “How
dare you not listen to my orders?”
“I’ll give President Qin a call now. Please hang on, Princess Aika.” Someone who thought that the stalemate
situation wouldn’t come to any resolution decided to give in and spoke up.
“Alright, tell him that I’m almost dying of hunger,” she said with a wave of her hand. Striding to the side, she began
eating the snacks from Jingcheng City which her servants had bought. Indeed, Country Z was a country of great
food, and all food tasted amazing.
One of the men conveyed Princess Aika’s message without forgetting to end it with, “That’s what Princess Aika
said.”
After the call, Qin Muchen went back to enjoying dinner with Su Ziyue when he received a call from his subordinate
again. He didn’t want to answer the call, to be honest, but something seemed to cross his mind. So, he picked it up
and said, “Let her come over. I’m at Nine Oriental Pavilion.” After he hung up, he heard Su Ziyue ask from across
him, “Who’s coming?”
Qin Muchen answered honestly, “A woman I don’t really know.”

“I see. Was she the one who answered your phone from before?” she said nonchalantly while drinking her soup.
However, his movements came to a sudden halt and he jerked his head up to look at her. “She is—”
“You don’t have to be so nervous. I’m not suspecting you of having a mistress outside. Being so stingy, you would
never have a second woman while we’re still married. If you do, you’ll have to allocate a big portion of your assets
to me when we divorce.”
“Su Ziyue!” he exclaimed, displeased. Even though he was glad that she wasn’t overthinking and trusted him, he
was still annoyed that she would bring up the word divorce at a whim.
Giving him a glare, she uttered, “Keep your voice down. You have no sense of humor at all. I don’t understand what
the other women like about you.”
He snickered. “Besides looking pretty, there’s nothing else you’re good at. I don’t know why the other men keep
looking this way!”
Lifting her head and looking around after hearing that, she saw that many men were indeed looking in this
direction, and she found herself speechless. “What if they were actually looking at you? You must understand that
love hits you like a hurricane without a care for nationality and gender, and it could hit you anytime…” She trailed
off as she saw his face turning more and more dark.
“Don’t be so serious.” Su Ziyue simply felt that he was usually too somber, so she had to be more bubbly and crack
some jokes to liven up the atmosphere.
As he put food in her plate, his face was solemn. “Eat your food and stop talking.”
“Mr Qin?” A man had approached without them realizing.
Qin Muchen glanced at him and greeted, “President Han.” He had met President Han a few days ago, but it wasn’t
business which they spoke about when they met.
President Han hastily passed him a cigarette. “I didn’t think that I would run into you here.”
Raising a hand, Qin Muchen rejected the offer politely, “I’m not smoking, thank you.”
A look of confusion appeared on President Han’s face. Wasn’t he smoking a few days ago when they were in a
discussion?
