Marry Me Quick

Chapter 578

Faced with Ziyue's hopeful face, there was a brief moment where Ke hesitated before she answered, "Mm."

Upon hearing it, delight appeared on Ziyue's face.

If only Shichu is still alive.

Ziyue was in a better mood because of what Ke said.

Many things had happened today, and she thought she couldn't sleep. But she fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

She was awoken in the middle of the night by Muchen when he returned.

Ziyue left a bedside lamp on before she slept, so she saw Muchen's tall figure standing before the bed when she opened her eyes.

She woke up in surprise. She sat up and stared blankly at Muchen for a moment before she came to her senses.

Muchen was drenched, and his wet hair stuck to his forehead, but he seemed unbothered.

He stared straight at Ziyue. Under the dim halo of light, his expressions were slightly hazy.

Ziyue looked at him. In the end, she was the first to speak.

"Is it raining outside?" She asked softly.

Muchen looked up a little, and his voice was cold as he said, "Why didn't you call me if I hadn't returned?"

The air conditioning in the room was a little cold. Ziyue pulled the covers around her. Although she felt a little baffled, she answered indifferently, "I don't have my cell phone."

He took my cell phone. How can I call him?

Muchen continued, "There's a phone in the room."

"It doesn't work." She had wanted to call Zixi, but Muchen pulled apart the telephone wires violently because he thought she wanted to call Shichu.

"You could have asked the servants to call me."

For some reason, Muchen seemed to be obsessed with this topic.

His stubborn tone made him seem like an ignorant child.

Ziyue looked at the adamant expression on his face. Her emotions stirred slightly, and her expression softened a little. "Go and take a shower."

Muchen stared fixedly at her for a moment before he turned and went into the bathroom.

After he went into the bathroom, Ziyue leaned back against the headboard. She was lost in thought.

She only snapped out of it when the water in the bathroom stopped running.

Muchen came out with a towel wrapped around him and saw Ziyue leaning against the headboard. It looked like she was waiting for him.

The expression on his face softened a little.

Ziyue didn't think Muchen would come out so quickly. She came to her senses. Before she could lie down again, Muchen had peeled off his towel and changed into pajamas.

Ziyue's eyes widened slightly. Her face flushed, and she hid under the covers.

This shameless man.

Muchen heard the noise behind him. He turned and saw that the woman leaning against the headboard was now lying down. The corners of his mouth curved uncontrollably.

Ziyue could feel her cheeks burn up even when covered with a thin comforter. From NôvelDrama.Org.

After a long time, footsteps approached the bed.

Shortly after, she heard Muchen's voice. "Get up."

Ziyue didn't know what he wanted to do. She heard him, but she didn't want to move.

She pretended to be asleep.

But she forgot that Muchen was an impatient man.

He called her once, and there was no response, so he tore off the covers and started taking off her clothes.

Ziyue opened her eyes suddenly, and a wary expression appeared. "What are you doing?!"

Muchen saw the caution on her face, and his expression darkened. He was about to lose his temper.

Ziyue softly said, "It's late, and I'm tired. Let's go to sleep, alright?"

Muchen's expression improved slightly, but he said, "Take off your clothes."

Ziyue's expression paled.

Won't he let me go?

Muchen saw her stalling and not moving, so he didn't count on her to remove her clothes. He started to do it for her instead.

Ziyue knew she was no match for him, so she stopped struggling. She turned her head to the side, and tears flickered.

But after Muchen took off her clothes, she felt nothing from him. He seemed to be putting something on

her and smearing it around instead.

She turned around in surprise and saw Muchen holding a tube of lotion in one hand expressionlessly. He applied the cream to her with his other hand.

He spread it on her injuries that he had caused. There were slight stings, but it also felt quite refreshing.

Ziyue stared at him blankly. She never thought that he would apply lotion to her.

She thought he was…

For the past few days, Muchen had been nasty to her. On top of Shichu's death, she subconsciously felt he would hurt her.

She had even forgotten that he cared for her.

Muchen saw Ziyue looking at him with tear-filled eyes when he looked up. His brows wrinkled, and he asked, "Does it hurt that much?"

He lifted his fingers slightly when he spoke as if afraid of touching her.

Ziyue knew that he had misunderstood. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she smiled at him. She wanted to say something but felt choked up as soon as she opened her mouth. She shook her head instead.

Upon seeing Ziyue's hesitant expression, Muchen's face grew cold, and he continued applying lotion.

Ziyue lifted her eyes slightly to look at him.

He was very gentle as he applied lotion on her.

But he had just killed Shichu today.

As she thought about it, Ziyue looked down and hid the sadness in her eyes.

Muchen applied the lotion meticulously.

Ziyue wanted to stop him from applying lotion on her sensitive areas, but she was no match for his strength.

She could only comply.

After Muchen applied lotion, he dressed her. He hugged her to sleep, and it seemed he wouldn't do anything to her.

Ziyue felt that it was unreal as she lay in his arms.

It made her feel like the old Muchen was back.

But she couldn't readily figure out the current Muchen.

What would their future look like?

…

Early the following day, Muchen was gone when Ziyue woke up.

She hadn't slept well. She kept waking up in a daze. She couldn't sleep, but she also couldn't stay awake.

She started to get sleepy after breakfast.

It had rained the previous night. The courtyard was wet.

Muchen and the Nan siblings weren't at home, only the servants and bodyguards.

She still couldn't go out, but the bodyguards had retreated to the main entrance to keep guard. She could stay in the compound of the villa.

Should I be thankful that I can walk around the courtyard?

With nothing to do, she called Zixi.

She used the phone in the lounge.

"Mommy." The child's baby voice rang on the telephone.

Ziyue almost cried.

She really missed Zixi.

But she couldn't go home yet.

"Have you been listening to Uncle Bai?"

"Yes. When are you coming home, Mommy?"

It hadn't been long since she and Muchen came to Country J, but it felt like she hadn't seen Zixi in years.
