Marry Me Quick

Chapter 558

'Bang!'

Muchen immediately left after he finished speaking.

The slamming of the door echoed in the room.

Ziyue sat on the bed in a daze. Her mind was in a state of chaos.

She can't help but scratch her scalp and prowl on her bed in frustration.

Her mind was brimming with Shichu's innocent smiling face and Muchen's allegation against Shichu a moment ago.

Eventually, Ziyue dozed off as perplexity seized her.

...

By the time she woke up, it was already dusk.

Her phone on the bedside table had been ringing ceaselessly.

Ziyue was dazed for a moment. Then, she slowly propped herself up and reached out for the phone.

It was an anonymous caller.

After hesitating for a moment, Ziyue answered the call.

"Hello?"

There was no response from the other end of the phone.

Just as Ziyue wondered if someone had dialed the wrong number, a familiar voice sounded from the other side.

"Haven't seen you in a while. Did you like my special gift?"

Just as Ziyue wanted to comb through her hair with her fingers, her action paused abruptly at the voice...

She retracted her arm in bewilderment, slowly squinting her eyes and calling out a name, "Gu Hanyan!"

When Ziyue called out the name, there was an illusion that she had traveled back in time.

"I'm surprised you can still recognize my voice," said Hanyan. Her voice was crisp, which was slightly different from before. But those familiar with her would still be able to recognize her voice.

Ziyue wasn't fazed by Hanyan's cryptic remarks. She sat up straight and exclaimed, "Where are you? What have you done?"

"We'll meet again very soon," Hanyan said, ignoring Ziyue's questions, and hung up.

The phone buzzed with a busy signal. Ziyue, unwilling to let go of the phone, called out, "Gu Hanyan!"

She tried calling the number back, but as expected, it was already out of service.

Ziyue had just woken up from a revitalizing nap. Still, her thoughts were immediately in disarray after receiving Hanyan's unexpected phone call.

Just then, someone knocked on her door.

Ziyue was taken aback.

Muchen had forcibly brought her home at noon. Now it was almost six o'clock.

Whoever knocked on her door was probably one of the villa's servants calling her for dinner.

Ziyue rolled out of bed and said to the person outside the door, "I'll be there in a moment."

Then, she heard a vague response from outside her room.

Then, it got quiet again.

Ziyue went to the dining room after washing up and changing her clothes. To her surprise, she saw only Ke at the dining table.

When Ke saw her, she greeted enthusiastically, "Mrs. Qin, please come and have dinner."

"I have said many times, you can just call me by my name," Ziyue said helplessly.

"It doesn't make any difference." Ke looked at her with a grin. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Although Ke had always been courteous and hospitable to her, at this moment, Ziyue felt uneasy at her uncanny goodwill.

Ziyue wasn't gullible. Instead, she had always been quick on the outtake. She knew why Nan Ke was behaving this way.

She didn't ask anything and quietly ate her dinner.

On the contrary, it was Ke who couldn't suppress her urge. She put down her cutleries and pursed her lips, saying, "Boss and my brother are out for a business dinner tonight. It's an important client, so he had to go and deal with the fussy client himself."

After Ke finished speaking, she gleaned at Ziyue's reaction.

Seeing that Ziyue didn't bat an eye, Ke couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Even though Ke told her the truth, Ziyue knew precisely why Muchen had gone to the business dinner.

Chuan had told her about the incident at noon.

In her opinion, it was a petty issue, but the two of them had to make a big deal out of it.

Muchen had almost stopped attending all business functions in recent years. He suddenly decided to

go tonight because he was upset after arguing with Ziyue.

"Alright." Ziyue smiled and put down her chopsticks. "I'm done eating. You can take your time with your meal."

Upon seeing Ke's hesitant look, Ziyue stood up and left without giving Ke a chance to speak.

She knew Ke wanted to comfort her and was grateful for her kindness. Unfortunately, Ke's words wouldn't bring her comfort. Only Muchen and herself could resolve their conflict.

When Ziyue returned to her room, she recalled Muchen was a lousy drinker and immediately called Chuan.

She still cared for Muchen even though they quarreled.

It took a long while before the phone was finally answered.

Ziyue speculated Chuan was probably dodging the crowd to answer her call.

"Mrs. Qin." It was tranquil and noiseless in the background on Chuan's end.

It did seem like what Ziyue had suspected; Chuan had dodged the crowd to answer her call.

Chuan and Ke were undoubtedly the finest assistants Muchen could ever ask for. They were brilliant and beyond capable in their role and duty.

Ziyue paused before saying, "You... keep an eye on Muchen, and don't let him drink."

"I know, but he..." It didn't matter because Muchen would never listen to him anyway.

Ziyue also knew that Muchen was headstrong and arrogant. Sometimes, he wouldn't even listen to her advice, let alone Chuan's.

"You know his physical condition. Just try your best to control his alcohol intake..." Ziyue paused. Suddenly, she didn't know what to say anymore.

After hesitating momentarily, Chuan spoke, "Mrs. Qin, you should know Boss' temperament. He won't listen to me. Why don't...you give him a call?"

"How could he possibly listen to me when he doesn't even come back for dinner? Just forget about it. Finish up early and come back as soon as possible."

Chuan responded affirmatively. After Ziyue hung up, he didn't go back to the VIP room. Instead, he stood with his arms crossed as if contemplating something.

What's wrong with Boss and Mrs. Qin...?

Just now, in the private room, Chuan noticed Muchen checking his phone almost every ten minutes.

He knew Muchen must be waiting for Ziyue to call him.

Chuan didn't just have to manage his boss's work but also his day-to-day trivial. As a single man, Chuan also had to stress about his boss's love life.

Would this woe ever end?

When Chuan returned to the VIP room, he noticed the bustling and lively people had passed out. He was alarmed. He quickly turned and checked on Muchen.

Before he could speak, Muchen asked coldly, "What took you so long? I thought you died."

Chuan choked on his saliva. He consoled himself his boss had just quarreled with his wife, and it was precedented that he was touchy and mean.

Anyway, Chuan could only feign naïve and grinned.
