Chapter 547
Ziyue accompanied Muchen to their room to rest.
They cuddled in bed, and soon, Ziyue noticed his breathing had become even.
Why did he fall asleep so quickly?
Didn't we go to bed at the same time last night? Could he have insomnia?
Otherwise, why would he want to take a nap now? It is still morning.
Muchen fell into a deep sleep, but Ziyue was not sleepy at all.
After a while, Ziyue confirmed that Muchen was soundly asleep. She gently removed his hand from her waist and got out of bed.
Then, she opened the door and found Ke and a maid conversing softly.
Ziyue called out, "Ke."
"Yes, Mrs. Qin." Ke heard Ziyue's voice and immediately came to see her.
Ziyue nodded gently and left the room. She closed the door softly to prevent their conversation from waking up Muchen.
Then, she asked, "Did something happen?"
Ke gestured to the maid to leave before coming to Ziyue's side. Her eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Is something wrong with Boss?"
Based on her understanding, Xiyi's visit meant something was wrong with Muchen's health.
In reality, it was as she suspected.
"Previously, Muchen was infected with the K1LU&3 virus. Did your brother tell you about this?" Ke was close to them. Thus, Ziyue did not plan to hide the matter from her.
Ke nodded solemnly. "I know about this matter."
She had always remained in contact with Chuan and would sometime exchange news. Thus, she knew about this matter.
"Doctor Mo was worried about the side effect of the K1LU73 virus' antidote on Muchen's body. That was why he rushed here." Ziyue smiled gently.
Then, she glanced at the stern-faced Ke and continued, "But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with his health."
Ke nodded and instantly appeared relieved.
She took a deep breath and said emotionally, "Boss is a good man. There's a saying in your country's
language. He will live long and prosper."
It was Ziyue's first time hearing someone using the word 'good' to describe Muchen.
Although she could not deny that Muchen was capable of kindness, he was too secretive. It intimidated others from approaching him. Thus, it was hard for anyone to think he was a good man. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The only exception was when he first approached her. He seemed warm, harmless, and perfect.
However, once his identity was exposed, he stopped acting and revealed his true character.
Then, she discovered he was petty, proud, cold, and cruel.
He also had numerous other flaws.
Ke began telling her about the past. It was all related to Muchen.
Ziyue listened attentively. They took a stroll as they talked.
"My brother and I would not have survived until now without Boss' help. I was very young then and was a burden to my brother. It was his first time stealing, and coincidentally, he tried to steal from Boss. I was watching from the opposite street…"
Ke delved into her memories. Her face was dazed with recollection.
"We were young and desperate then. That was why my brother resorted to stealing. Unfortunately, he was not skilled enough and had no idea that Boss was not to be messed with. He was already quite tall
then and a year older than Boss. Although Boss was a little shorter, he fought so well that my brother did not have a chance to retaliate."
Then, she turned to Ziyue and continued, "You know how competitive teenage boys are. My brother was so engrossed in fighting Boss that he forgot he was there to steal his wallet."
"What happened next?" Ziyue could not resist urging Ke to continue.
A teenage Muchen… Hmm, it's hard to imagine it.
"Then, my brother was badly defeated by Boss, but he clung onto Boss' leg and refused to let go. Thus, Boss pitied him and brought us back to stay in his place."
Ke suddenly paused and seemed to have remembered something. Her expression softened.
Ziyue did not interrupt but quietly waited for her to continue.
Whenever Ziyue listened to others talking about Muchen's younger years, it felt like she had experienced it with him.
"I was sickly because my brother and I were homeless. Therefore, I had to recuperate through medicine and a nutritional diet. Boss even learned to cook a few healthy dishes for me."
Ke smiled at Ziyue and seemed concerned Ziyue would misunderstand. She explained immediately, "Please don't worry about this. Boss is a good person and has a strong sense of responsibility."
She was aware that her words could cause Ziyue to misunderstand.
"Why would I? I don't mind. I'm thankful that you're willing to tell me all this." Ziyue narrowed her eyes slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew Muchen's background well.
His mother, Li, was in love with Shuzhe when she was younger. She gave birth to Muchen after she had broken up with Shuzhe.
Later, in a twist of fate, she met Ziyue's father, Yizi, and they fell in love.
Ziyue almost had the chance to live in the same house with Muchen and call him 'brother.' However, everything changed at that banquet over a dozen years ago.
Muchen had seen her when she was little.
On the other hand, she only met him slightly more than two years ago. It was when he deliberately approached her at Lumiere Jade House.
When she knew him, he was already a successful man. He was a legendary figure at the top of the business world. She had never expected a man like him would want to have anything to do with her.
He was already twenty-seven years old when they first met and was a mature and wise man. His success and experience were beyond her reach. Yet, he was considerate and patient. He took care of everything well.
Although she kept saying he had many minor flaws, those flaws were nothing in her eyes.
As she listened to Ke talking about Muchen's past, she even pictured how he would look as a teenager.
It was a natural thing to do for one's beloved. Ziyue desperately wished she could go back in time and know him sooner. She hoped to have more time with him and keep him company as he grew. She wanted to experience all that he had been through.
Ziyue would have been jealous if any other woman had told her the things Ke had.
However, Ke was different.
She and Chuan had remained with Muchen for many years and were the people he trusted the most. They had weathered many storms. It was a camaraderie that could not be easily destroyed.
They were closer to each other than to their blood relatives.
Ziyue and Ke fell silent for a long time.
After a while, Ke said sincerely, "You must treat Boss well. He did not have it easy. Furthermore, I can see that he cares a lot about you."
Ke's tone amused Ziyue. It sounded like she was Muchen's parent.
Still, she nodded solemnly and replied, "I will."
Then, Ke smiled and said sadly, "Why does it feel like I have married off my daughter?"
At this moment, a stern voice sounded behind them. "Who are you calling your daughter?"
