Chapter 531
"Hello, beautiful ladies."
Aika stood up and took a glass of champagne from the tray of a waiter passing by.
Ziyue also got up and took a glass of juice.
"I heard that you've been attending special training in the army lately, Princess Aika. Thank you for working hard," said one of the ladies.
"It's what I should be doing. I've been too busy, so I wanted to take the time to get some fresh air. My friend just happened to come to Country J," Aika said as she turned and blinked at Ziyue.
"I didn't tell you because I knew you've been busy recently. I never expected you to come. Thank you so much." Ziyue interjected and smiled sincerely.
Aika raised her brows slightly, and the smile on her face deepened.
Another woman said, "I don't think I'm acquainted with this pretty lady."
"Yes, she's the Earl's granddaughter-in-law. She's been living with his grandson in Country Z, and they came for the Royal Ascot earlier this year. You must not have noticed her, so you found her unfamiliar."
Aika introduced Ziyue to them effortlessly.
When the women heard what Aika said, surprise streaked across their faces.
Yuchuan's grandson was Muchen. These women knew about Muchen. Furthermore, in Country J, many women liked Muchen, and he was their ideal boyfriend.
Moreover, they knew the purpose of the dinner banquet. The Earl wanted to formally announce his grandson.
They had noticed Ziyue but thought she was just Muchen's female companion. They never imagined that Ziyue was Muchen's wife.
One of the women was the first to figure it all out. She said respectfully, "Hello, Mrs. Qin."
"Hello," Ziyue replied with a smile. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Ziyue understood the reason Muchen invited Aika.
Yuchuan wanted to use the opportunity to announce Muchen as his grandson formally. As for Muchen, he was inclined to use the opportunity to declare that Ziyue was his wife.
When Ziyue thought of the deeper layer of meaning, there was some unkind delight in her heart.
Yuchuan had always been indifferent to her and dissatisfied with her. As for Mogwin Castle's servants, they only acknowledged Muchen and not her.
Now, Muchen had Aika in action. Aika had significant influence, and she was royalty. She was very
credible in the things she said and did. Although everyone wondered about Ziyue's identity, they believed Aika firmly without any doubt.
It had to be said that Aika had excellent social skills. Men and women alike adored her.
Ziyue stayed with her, and in ten minutes, many people came to greet Aika. When a group left, another would come. Other than chatting with them, Aika would also bring up Ziyue.
And those people would greet her as 'Mrs. Qin.'
So, at the end of the dinner banquet, the upper class of Country J knew that the Mogwin family had a dapper and wealthy grandson and a gorgeous granddaughter-in-law.
Muchen had taken Yuchuan for a ride, and Yuchuan was unhappy about it. Having hosted the banquet and invited so many people, he could only force himself to introduce Muchen to everyone.
Muchen had lived in Country J for many years, and he was the president of LK Group, so he knew many people. He was reintroducing himself as someone from the Mogwin family.
Many admired Muchen.
So, in the end, Muchen and Ziyue benefitted the most, while Yuchuan felt crushed.
He felt that he had made a wrong decision.
…
The dinner banquet was very successful.
When it ended, Ziyue and Muchen invited Aika for a chat.
Yuchuan had been sullen the whole night. When the banquet ended, he wanted to look for a reason to flare up, but Ziyue and Muchen made such a move. Yuchuan could only drop it.
When the three figures disappeared, Yuchuan snorted coldly and heavily. "It's a disaster!"
Zheng stood at one side and silently handed him a cup. "Earl, have some tea to cool down."
"He's capable, and he's started to scheme against me. He acted like he had nothing to do, so I thought he knew his place. I never thought he was waiting for me instead!"
Zheng couldn't say anything. A subordinate couldn't make comments on their superiors.
It seemed like Yuchuan wasn't waiting for Zheng's reply either.
He sipped the tea and said, "I almost forgot he and Princess Aika know each other."
On the other end, Ziyue and Muchen led Aika back to where they were staying.
Muchen stepped into the door and took out a box of tea. He handed it to Ziyue, signaling her to make tea.
Not many drank tea in Country J. Most liked coffee, so there wasn't much good tea here. Ziyue had
been in a hurry when she came, so she hadn't brought tea, but Muchen had thought to get a few boxes.
Ziyue took the box and sat before the teaware on the coffee table. Aika was interested and sat on the other end to watch Ziyue make tea.
Muchen and Ziyue had bought the tea set at a flea market a few days ago. The things there were quite good, but the sellers didn't know anything and sold them cheaply.
Anyone would be curious about foreign cultures, and Aika was the same.
Ziyue saw Aika staring intently, so she poured a cup for Aika first. When Aika took a sip, Ziyue asked, "How is it?"
"Do you think she knows good from bad tea?" Muchen snorted coldly. It was clear he was annoyed with Aika.
Ziyue was feeling slightly exasperated. Why is Muchen being so hostile out of a sudden?
She stretched her legs silently and kicked Muchen. It wasn't too hard, just enough to get his attention.
Muchen raised his brows slightly as he turned to look at her. "Why? Was I wrong?"
Ziyue glared at him. Why is he acting like this?
Muchen had asked Aika for help, but he was now being hostile. Ziyue didn't know anyone who was more shameless than Muchen.
Aika was at the side and said slightly aggravatingly, "I think it tastes quite good. After all, Ziyue personally made it. It's the thought that counts."
Upon hearing it, Muchen was about to say something when his cell phone rang.
He glared coldly at Aika before he got up and answered the call.
Ziyue didn't think anything was wrong with what Aika had said. She said, "You will understand tea better once you have more. That is, of course, if you like tea."
After that, she saw Aika look in Muchen's direction.
Ziyue also looked over curiously, but when she turned back, she saw Aika's face up close.
"What… what's wrong?"
"Do you know I'm bisexual?"
