Chapter 573
Chapter 573
Muchen was never gentle during intercourse, but at least he would care about Ziyue and would not deliberately hurt her.
At that moment, he had utterly lost his rationality, so he couldn't care less if Ziyue was in pain.
Ziyue struggled at first, but she lost her energy toward the end.
Muchen's rage gradually faded as she started to quieten down.
He knew he was too violent just now, so he lowered his head to kiss her. However, when he saw the traces of tears on her face, he became ferocious again.
Is she crying for Shichu at this moment?
At that thought, Muchen's expression turned ghastly. He stopped, sneering, "Are you feeling good now, so you stopped screaming?"
Ziyue turned her head aside to avoid his gaze when she heard the humiliation. Tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Muchen seized her chin in dissatisfaction and forced her to turn to face him. "Look at me!" He bellowed coldly.
Ziyue was forced to meet Edgar's eyes. Her watery eyes were filled with adamance and a tinge of
hatred.
Muchen was stunned upon perceiving the emotions in her eyes. Does she hate me? Because I killed Shichu?
Shichu had always been eyeing Ziyue and had come after Muchen. He even controlled Gricy's K7 Team. Since he refused to expose who Gricy was, Muchen decided to get rid of him because he could be a potential threat.
The old him might be able to understand Ziyue's feelings, but now that his personality had changed, he would not treat Ziyue with care or empathize with her.
His egotism had become more prevailing.
He emphatically seized Ziyue's chin as if dying to crush her chin.
Ziyue glared at Muchen hatefully and gritted her teeth without struggling or saying anything.
Muchen was engulfed by his rage. He curled his lips in a bloodthirsty manner and whispered in Ziyue's ear. "I'm looking forward to seeing you always be this stubborn."
…
Ziyue did not know when Muchen left. When she woke up, there was no one else in the room.
She felt refreshed because someone had cleaned her body, but she felt a piercing pain when she
attempted to move.
Muchen was extremely ruthless.
Ziyue stared blankly at the ceiling for quite some time before she let out a peal of rueful laughter.
She thought Muchen would torture her to death. Fortunately, he did not.
She endured the pain and walked toward the bathroom. Although she was clean, she still wanted to take a shower.
She was shocked at the sight of the marks on her body when she looked in the mirror in the bathroom.
She felt a dull pain in her chin that was swollen, and there were patches of bruises over her body.
She used to think Muchen was rough in the past. Obviously, he had been merciful back then.
Perhaps, this was his true color. Unlike Shichu, he was not a gentle person.
Shichu came from a harmonious family, and he only turned bad later.
In contrast, Ziyue could sense that Muchen was not gentle since childhood. After his mother passed away, Yuchuan sent him to Country J without giving him a chance to ask about the reason. He had been living in ruthlessness and schemes all his life.
Although he became gentle after meeting Ziyue, the antidote's side effects completely abolished his gentleness later on.
Indeed, Ziyue was part of the cause. She had the responsibility and was culpable too. However, that should not be a reason for Muchen to kill Shichu.
Pressing her lips, Ziyue dashed out of the bathroom and quickly put on a shirt. Then, she ran downstairs without bothering to wear her slippers.
Maybe Muchen's shot was not a critical hit. Maybe Shichu is still alive!
This thought urged Ziyue to run toward the basement.
However, the bodyguards at the entrance stopped her in the living room.
A bodyguard asked in unfluent English, "Mrs. Qin, where are you going?"
Ziyue looked like a mess because she had just woken up and run out hastily, but she emanated a compelling aura.
Her fierce glare sent chills down the bodyguards' spines.
"Get out of my way." Ziyue's voice was as cold as her face.
"Mrs. Qin, you cannot go out." A bodyguard blocked her way and blurted sternly.
"Who are you to control my freedom?!" Ziyue shot a glare at the bodyguard and yelled in a hoarse voice.
The bodyguards clammed up immediately but did not make way for Ziyue.
Ziyue glanced at the bodyguards and had a sudden realization. She walked up to one of them and grasped his collar. "Did Qin Muchen ask y'all to stop me from going out? He wants to confine me, doesn't he?!" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
The bodyguards were ordered not to harm Ziyue. So, the man could only bend slightly following Ziyue's action and said, "Yes."
"You!" Ziyue glowered at the bodyguard and lifted her arm with an urge to slap him.
However, they guarded her under orders. Nothing would change even if Ziyue vented her frustration on them.
Perceiving that Ziyue would slap him, the servile bodyguard squeezed his eyes shut but did not dodge.
Little did he expect Ziyue to let go of him instead of hitting him.
After slowly removing her hand, she turned and walked a few steps with a numb look. Then, she suddenly turned around and dashed toward the outside.
The bodyguards were professionally trained, so Ziyue's trick was nothing to them. As such, they easily stopped Ziyue again.
Finally, Ziyue could not take it anymore and screamed like a lunatic. "Where is he?! Where the hell is Qin Muchen?!"
"Sorry, Mrs. Qin. We're unaware of Mr. Qin's whereabouts."
The bodyguards naturally would not know Muchen's schedule; neither would Muchen inform them.
"Mrs. Qin, we're under orders. Please don't put us in a difficult spot."
Because of this sentence, Ziyue went back to her room.
She searched through the room but did not find her phone.
Just then, a servant came to invite her downstairs for lunch.
"Where's my phone? Did you see my phone?"
I have to find Muchen. Wait, no, I should call Enxue. She was the one who saved Shichu before this – she would know whether Shichu was still alive!
