Marry Me Quick

Chapter 521

Jingshu came home broken-hearted.

Something happened at home a while ago, and when he returned, his grandfather was gravely ill. He hadn't closed his eyes in over a week, and Yunan had returned with him.

He didn't realize what had happened until returning to Yunzhou City.

Muchen's demeanour changed.

Yunan had already returned, so he went back to his mansion.

In any case, Muchen and Jingshu would not be hunting for him this time.

Despite his best intentions, he picked up his cell phone and initiated a call.

"Look into Muchen's business."

When another call came in, he hung up the phone after giving the command.

He read the phone number clearly and curved his lips. Muchen.

Nonetheless, he picked up the phone.

"Come home tonight for supper."

"Well, evening to you too." Just because he summoned me, does he expect me to attend?

"Yeah," said Muchen as if he had read his mind. He hung up the phone abruptly.

Jingshu's eyes widened. D*mn, if he hadn't known him for more than ten years, he wouldn't be a brother to this sort of guy. Harsh much.

What made Jingshu regret being Muchen's brother was the fact that when he arrived in Yunshang Bay, he didn't see Muchen at the villa.

All he saw was Zixi, who was attentively watching cartoons on a tablet at the dining table.

The dinner table was piled high with food, none of which had been moved, and the servants were serving it. Everything was typical except for Muchen.

Something stood out from the normalcy.

"Zixi!" Jingshu approached Zixi and beckoned to him.

Zixi looked up to the nervous man, "Uncle Bai." The child went back to his scrolling.

"Where has your father gone?" Jingshu inquired.

Zixi grimaced and said, "Probably left."

Jingshu was perplexed.

The host himself isn't here? How could he invite a guest and not show up?

"Phone." Zixi looked at Jingshu for a moment before pulling out a phone from someplace and handing it to him.

Jingshu took it over suspiciously and discovered that it only had Jingshu and Ziyue's phone numbers on it.

He realized this was the phone call Muchen had planned for Zixi.

Isn't he just a kid?

He took Zixi's phone and called Muchen without much thought.

The call was soon connected.

"Hello?" said Muchen, his voice low and deep.

Jingshu felt enraged as soon as he heard his voice. "What the hell are you doing? You summoned me to dine at your home but leave your child with me?"

Muchen drawled, "I didn't say I will be present, only for you to dine there." The man passed his luggage to the flight attendant, "Have Zixi eat with you, and look after him. I'm aboard the plane right now, and it's ready to take off."

His tone indicated that he was ready to hang up the phone.

Jingshu's heart was filled with uncertainties, and he eventually questioned, "Where are you going?"

"To Country J."

"What for?"

"To look for Ziyue."

"..."

"All right, the plane is ready to take off, bye."

"Then when will you return, hello?"

The line got cut off.

Muchen hung up the phone.

What the hell is going on? Jingshu shook his head, bewildered.

He assumed Muchen had truly invited him over for supper, so he walked straight into his strange game.

Jingshu turned to look at Zixi. Seeing his face that resembled Muchen, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch his head: "Is your father trying to trick me?"

Zixi looked at him blankly: "I'm hungry."

"Then eat, don't read." Jingshu said and took the tablet in front of him.

He took away the tablet, and Zixi sat down patiently, waiting for Jingshu to bring him lunch.

"Your father and mother are gone. This means I'll be watching you from now on," Jingshu reiterated. "if anything were to happen to you, he would have me at gunpoint." The nervous man murmured.

Jingshu read him a story while feeding Zixi mashed potatoes.

Despite his resentment, he had enormous trust in Muchen.

Although he couldn't bear Muchen's odd temper at times, he was like a brother.

Zixi continued eating the spoonful of mash.

Not long after, Jingshu received a text message from Muchen: "This is an emergency. I will explain it to you when I have a chance. Take care of Zixi."

Jingshu read this text message, and the tension in his heart disappeared.

His expression became grim.

It was unusual for Muchen to express his gratitude so sincerely. Things did not appear to be linear this time.

...

The Mogwin Castle was huge, and there were many people. From Ziyue's understanding, many people were from the direct line and collateral lineage. There were probably hundreds of people living in the entire castle, all of whom were blood-related to the Mogwynn family.

There were some distant relatives in other lines who did not dwell at the castle.

The place where she lived was very secluded. There were very few people in this building. In the tiny yard up front, there were swings for leisure.

She hadn't seen Yuchuan since she arrived, and she was unsure if he was genuinely busy or was purposefully avoiding her.

Ziyue, on the other hand, was extremely concerned.

She missed Zixi and her child. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

She had also been keeping up with the mainstream news. The case of Muchen had nearly vanished. Yesterday, the relevant department released the latest information, stating that Muchen had been mistreated and that the true perpetrator had been apprehended.

Ziyue clicked his tongue as the speed increased.

Muchen had emerged; would he bring Zixi to Mogwin Castle?

"Sorry, Miss Ziyue is taking a break..."

When she heard a servant's voice outside, Ziyue regained her composure, stood up, and headed outside.

When she opened the door, she noticed a young man conversing with a maid.

The first noticeable thing was his hazel eyes. He was dressed nicely, and his features were deep and distinct.

Ziyue shifted her eyes to a maid and said, "What's going on?"
