Marry Me Quick

Chapter 526

Yuchuan silently reviewed Muchen's thoughts before slowly saying, "You and Jueyin have the best relationship in the Mogwin family among those your age."

Muchen seemed to have thought of something, and he smiled. He immediately said, "He was a punk when we first met."

He had interacted with Jueyin because he didn't know who Jueyin was back then.

If he had known that Jueyin was Yuchuan's illegitimate child back then, he would never have helped Jueyin, regardless of how bad he had felt that day.

He didn't like the Mogwin family.

Yuchuan had previously said that Muchen was like his mother, Li. So, he subconsciously hated everything about the Mogwin family, like his mother. Still, he couldn't free himself entirely from them.

After Li's terrible death, the Mogwin family collected her body, covered up her cause of death, and buried her inconspicuously.

At first, he didn't understand it.

Only later he slowly understood that the Mogwin family was like an enormous black hole. Those with an unbreakable tie to the family could never completely break free from it, no matter where they went.

It pulled them along for centuries to carry on the Mogwin family's glory.

It seemed as though it was Yuchuan's sore spot. His expression turned nasty. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He had always been living abroad and later became in charge of the Mogwin family. With time, many in the family were from Country Z, and they passed on the culture and traditions of Country Z.

It was pretty disgraceful to have an illegitimate child.

Furthermore, it was from a one-night stand, and he only discovered that he had such a son after many years. Other family members had also uncovered it. It wasn't a secret in Mogwin Family.

After a long time, Yuchuan said with a dark expression, "He has been through a lot."

Muchen raised his brows slightly but didn't say anything.

Although Ziyue had only greeted Yuchuan from the start until the end, she felt the air in the room was stifling.

Muchen and Yuchuan had calm expressions, but Ziyue felt the hostility that permeated the air.

"It's late. You should rest early, Grandpa. Otherwise, you'd feel out of sorts tomorrow. I just arrived today, so I'm quite tired," Muchen said and pretended to yawn.

Yuchuan still had a pale complexion. It was as though he wanted to berate Muchen but couldn't find a reason to.

He restrained his rage forcefully and waved at Muchen. "Go on."

Muchen's smile slowly faded from his face. "Goodnight, Grandpa."

He said it in Spanish, and his tone was soft and relaxed, making it seem exceptionally warm.

Upon seeing Yuchuan's expression change, Muchen led Ziyue out.

…

Standing guard outside the room, Zheng saw Muchen lead Ziyue out smilingly. Zheng's heart tightened before he nodded slightly. When the two walked far away, Zheng turned into the study room.

When he went in, he called out, "Earl of Augsburg."

He didn't hear a response, so he glanced inside. He saw Yuchuan pick up and throw a glass in his rage.

The room was carpeted with precious rugs, so the glass only fell with a dull thud. It didn't break.

He paced back and forth between the couch and the desk and couldn't help but say, "He will only give up once he infuriates me to my death. The younger generation of the Mogwin family is either trying to curry favor with me or is afraid they will offend me. Still, he's doing all sorts of things to go up against me instead, as if I won't get offended."

He couldn't help but stomp his feet on the ground heavily.

Zheng seemed to have expected it. When he heard Yuchuan's rambling, he unconcernedly took another glass from the side. He poured a glass of water for Yuchuan. "Earl, calm down. Hasn't Master Muchen always been like this? This isn't anything to get angry over."

Yuchuan's rage had yet to dissipate. "You don't know what he said!"

Zheng was a butler who had followed Yuchuan for decades. Although Yuchuan was enraged, he didn't direct take his anger out on Zheng.

He took the glass that Zheng passed to him. After taking a sip, he sat down.

Zheng stood at one side and advised him. "Master Muchen is just flaunting his gift of the gab. He and Miss Su are now staying in Mogwin Castle under your control. Isn't everything he wants to do in the palm of your hand?"

After hearing what Zheng said, Yuchuan's complexion recovered slightly.

"Hmph. I never thought that he would leave his precious son in Yunzhou." It was something Yuchuan had never expected.

He had anticipated Yuchuan bringing Zixi along.

From his understanding of Muchen, Muchen wouldn't easily trust others with the things and people he cared about. Muchen had a natural instinct like wild animals and wanted everything of his to be within arm's reach.

Furthermore, he was so attentive to Ziyue. He should have thought that Ziyue might miss their son, and he would've brought Zixi along.

"If you're unhappy about it, why don't I get someone to bring Master Zixi over?" Zheng asked tentatively.

Zheng emphasized the word 'bring.'

What he truly meant was to capture Zixi.

Just when Zheng thought Yuchuan would agree to it, Yuchuan snorted coldly. "How ignorant!"

"We can't snatch Zixi away easily from the person Muchen entrusted his son to." Yuchuan knew Jingshu and his true identity.

Jingshu came from the Bai family. They were complicated people. Jingshu and Muchen had been friends for years, and Muchen had faith in Jingshu. Jingshu was trustworthy.

Since he had agreed to help Muchen care for Zixi, he would only do his best.

If Yuchuan grabbed Zixi away from Jingshu, it would likely evolve into a provocation from the Mogwin family to the Bai family of Country Z.

Yuchuan would have to face the Bai family from Country Z.

Even the Mogwin family couldn't simply provoke the Bai family.

They couldn't predict the consequences. Everything involved wouldn't be as simple as personal grudges if anything happened.

Zheng's expression changed when he saw Yuchuan's serious face. "I was uninformed."

"Alright, deal with your matters. I want a banquet in the castle in a few days to formally introduce Muchen to everyone." Although everyone knew Muchen was Yuchuan's grandson, it had never been announced on a formal occasion.

When he had formally introduced Muchen, Muchen could no longer distance himself from the Mogwin family.
