Chapter 527
For the next few days, Muchen took Ziyue around to have fun and let loose.
They went around and enjoyed themselves as they idled the time away.
But, of course, there was a catch. She needed to ignore the big group of bodyguards who followed behind them every day when they went out.
At best, they were bodyguards. At worst, they were instructed by Yuchuan to monitor the two.
Muchen was unconcerned, but Ziyue started to panic.
She finally found an opportunity and asked Muchen, "What on earth does Grandpa want?"
"Can't you see what he's doing?" Muchen was in sportswear and had a contented expression as he sat on a bench in a public square. His gaze fell onto a flock of pigeons not far away.
Ziyue was exasperated when she saw his pleased expression.
She turned and looked at Muchen. "I heard that Grandpa is planning a dinner banquet at Mogwin Castle. Everyone in the castle has been busy for the past few days. It's reportedly organized on your behalf."
"Mm. That sounds about right." Muchen nodded. His emotions couldn't be seen in his narrowed eyes.
"You have such a complicated relationship. It's getting harder for me to understand." Ziyue let out a deep sigh and put her head on his shoulder. Her face was filled with exasperation.
Muchen reached out to pinch her cheeks. "You don't have to understand it. You have me."
Ziyue was annoyed that he was squeezing her cheeks like he would a child, so she brushed him away.
Muchen let go of her face with a grin and pointed to a flock of pigeons on another side. "Do you want to feed the pigeons?"
It seemed like women liked these things, like kids.
Ziyue looked to the other side. "Okay."
"Go ahead." Muchen nodded at her, indicating for her to go over.
Ziyue immediately stood up. "Aren't you coming?"
Muchen turned his head to the side a little. The smile on his face was warm, and his voice was crisp. "I'll watch you from here."
Hearing it, Ziyue could only walk over.
Muchen's gaze followed Ziyue as she walked away, but his expression darkened.
The men of the world were competitive, especially when they were wealthy and powerful.
Yuchuan is deliberately organizing a banquet for me?
The Mogwin family and other aristocrats, such as political and government figures from Country J, discussed with each other. They talked about how Yuchuan doted on his grandson, whose mother had passed away young. Rumors spread that Yuchuan would pass the Mogwin family to Muchen.
But there were hundreds of people in the Mogwin family, and that was excluding distant relatives.
Among so many people, there were many upright young men.
Almost everyone was ambitious and wanted to hold power in the Mogwin family.
Yuchuan's actions were undoubtedly pushing Muchen into the heart of the struggle.
Yuchuan was a shrewd man. As he got older, the younger generation grew more ambitious. He had limited energy, so he got someone to divert attention from him.
That way, everyone's attention would be on Muchen. Those who wanted the position would naturally fight over it and battle it out with Muchen.
As for Yuchuan, he could sit back and watch. He would be old when they had a victor, and it would be time for him to step aside.
Yuchuan didn't care if Muchen would be the final victor. He enjoyed playing with Muchen from the palm of his hands.
Moreover, if Muchen lost, it would only mean he wasn't suitable for the position. It wouldn't be a loss to Yuchuan.
Muchen's mind worked fast, and he only took seconds to think about many things. He raised his eyes toward Ziyue and saw a bodyguard before her.
Ziyue was talking to the bodyguard.
Ah. He had almost forgotten that his amazing grandfather had arranged many bodyguards for them. The bodyguards had to step in even when his woman went to feed the pigeons.
There was a malicious expression in Muchen's eyes.
The next moment, he stood up and strode in Ziyue's direction.
He didn't know what Ziyue had said, but the bodyguard was about to say something. When the bodyguard saw Muchen walking over, his expression froze, and he called out, "Master Muchen."
Everyone who worked for the Mogwin family knew English. Even if it wasn't very fluent, they had no problems with daily communication.
Ziyue had her back facing Muchen. When she heard Muchen's voice, she turned and looked at him.
Before she could say anything, Muchen pulled her behind him. He said expressionlessly, "What's wrong? What did you say to my wife? Can you tell me?"
The bodyguard was from Country J and around the same height as Muchen, but when he faced
Muchen, he felt much shorter.
Muchen hadn't been at Mogwin Castle for long. The bodyguard had previously heard that the man didn't have a good temper but didn't think much of it. Aristocrats were somewhat haughty. It didn't come as a surprise at all.
But with just one glance, the man before him gave him goosebumps.
He couldn't help but gulp. "I was just asking where Miss Su wanted to go."
He waited for Muchen's response after that.
In the end, Muchen raised his leg and kicked the bodyguard's calf bone as a response.
The calf bone was a weak spot. The bodyguard immediately cried out in pain after being kicked hard by Muchen before kneeling.
Thankfully, it was a weekday, and there weren't many people at the public square. There were few passersby, and with one glance, they knew that Muchen was a member of the aristocracy, so the average person wouldn't dare to come over and ask.
The noblemen had high status in Country J.
"Why must my woman report to you if she's going anywhere? Who do you think you are?" Muchen's voice was as cold as the water in a frozen lake in winter. It was bone-chilling.
Although the bodyguard grimaced in pain, he answered Muchen clearly. "The Earl wants us to ensure
your safety."
"Ensure our safety?" It was as though Muchen had heard a joke. He couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile, and his handsome face was more charming.
The bodyguard was momentarily startled before he nodded. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
The next moment, Muchen reached out and hit the bodyguard's chin. His moves were quick and violent, but his voice was incredibly steady. "To ensure our safety, you must at least beat me."
"Mu… Muchen…" Ziyue called him in a panic as she was startled by Muchen's sudden actions.
Muchen used his other hand to cover Ziyue's eyes. "Be a good girl and turn away. I just want to see if the bodyguards Grandpa arranged for us have good skills."
"You…"
Ziyue wanted to say something but was interrupted by Muchen. With an unquestionable tone, he said, "Do what you're told."
