Marry Me Quick

Chapter 581

Ziyue couldn't help but smile.

She could look at a gentle Muchen for the whole day and wouldn't get sick of him.

"Smile," Muchen suddenly said. He reached out to touch her lips.

Ziyue was startled. Then, she understood. He was saying that she finally smiled.

She pulled her hand back and held his. "Let's eat, alright?"

Muchen didn't say anything, but he let go of her.

Ziyue climbed off him and put the food in front of him.

The two started eating.

Ziyue hadn't had a good appetite lately. She put down her utensils after eating a little.

Muchen's brows furrowed tightly. "Are you a cat?"

He felt that cats ate more than she did.

Ziyue pursed her lips. She felt like Thumbelina. Just a drop of water was more than enough.

Although that was what she was thinking of, instead, she said, "I ate at home, so I'm not very hungry. I came to keep you company while you eat."

Mm. Ziyue could lie too.

After hearing what she said, Muchen's expression improved a little.

…

In any case, Ziyue felt that she had done the right thing by delivering lunch to Muchen.

As Xiyi had said, she had to make Muchen happy.

Many things had happened recently, and Muchen had become temperamental. His subordinates had suffered a lot as well.

At night, Ke secretly pulled Ziyue to one side. "Mrs. Qin, since you have nothing to do at home, why don't you deliver lunch to Mr. Qin every day?"

After Ziyue had delivered lunch to Muchen, he didn't lose his temper in the afternoon. Although he was still strict, it was enough for his subordinates.

"How nasty does he normally treat all of you?" Ziyue couldn't help but laugh. How frightening is Muchen to them?

How frightening?

Don't I also fear him at times?

"Mm. I'll deliver lunch to him daily if I'm free." Ziyue couldn't bear to turn Ke down when she saw how miserable Ke looked.

"I knew it. You're the best, Mrs. Qin. You're beautiful and kind…" Ke breathed a sigh of relief. If their boss was in a good mood, she might even be able to go on leave and look for Xiyi.

She was delighted just by the thought of it.

A thought occurred to Ziyue, and she said, "But…"

She spoke suddenly, and it made Ke gasp in fright.

Ziyue sighed. "Ke, you should know what I'm about to say. Can you help me? I just want to know if he's still alive."

Ke's expression was dark.

Ziyue was afraid of being turned down, so she continued. "I really have no other way. I beg you, Nan Ke. This should be easy for you. Just help me keep an eye out."

Ke saw Ziyue's pleading gaze and looked embarrassed.

After a moment, she gave in and nodded. "Alright."

"Thank you." Ziyue felt unusual gratitude in her heart.

If she was in Yunzhou City, she might have other ways of making inquiries. But this was Country J. Muchen forbid her from leaving, and she didn't have any other way.

There were only a few people around her who could help her.

Ke was a woman, and she was more compassionate.

Ziyue felt slightly apologetic that she had such a request. If Muchen learned that Ke was helping Ziyue verify Shichu's death, Ke would be in trouble.

But Ziyue didn't have any other way.

However, Ke's investigations couldn't confirm if Shichu was still alive.

She could only be sure that Shichu was still breathing when he was taken away.

Ke said solemnly, "Even if he was still breathing and didn't die at the spot, there aren't any good signs. Mr. Qin has great marksmanship."

However, Ziyue felt strangely happy when she heard it. "I understand. Thank you, Ke."

As long as Shichu's death wasn't confirmed, he might still be alive.

She had a strange premonition that Shichu wasn't dead.

Such thoughts were inexplicable. Deep in her heart, Ziyue believed her hunch would be true.

Because she grew more confident that Shichu hadn't died, her mood improved significantly in the next few days.

She made food for Muchen and delivered it to the office every day. She didn't make a fuss about going out, and she was obedient and compliant.

Even though Muchen went to the office daily, he kept an eye on Ziyue.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her getting better.

It was a strange feeling. Muchen clearly didn't think he did anything wrong but was constantly worried. He was afraid Ziyue would leave him because he killed Shichu.

That was why he made people guard over Ziyue and forbade her from going out.

He didn't think about whether his ways were reasonable. He only wanted to stop Ziyue from leaving. He followed his heart and did as such.

…

The tension in Ziyue and Muchen's relationship was eased, but Muchen didn't remove the bodyguards.

Ziyue still didn't feel great.

No one would be willing to be stripped of their freedom, like a canary in a cage.

She knew that Muchen was emotionally unstable. She also knew that everything he did had something to do with the side effects of the K1LU73 antidote, but she was still suffering.

"What are you thinking of?"

Muchen's voice came from behind.

Ziyue was slightly startled, and she turned to look at him. "Why are you off work so early today?"

She got up and took the coat in his hands.

To her surprise, Muchen hugged her and gave her a peck on the lips. He said, "Come with me to a banquet tonight."

"What banquet?" Ziyue raised her head to look at him. Confusion filled her eyes.

Muchen was silent for a moment before he said, "It'll be lively, and there'll be many people. You haven't been out in a long time. Let's go and have fun."

He rarely spoke so much these days. Ziyue was amazed.

But she didn't really believe what he said.

Any banquet he had to attend wasn't an ordinary banquet.

Therefore, Ziyue had to dress up intentionally.

She took quite a long time, and Muchen waited for her patiently.

When the two reached the hotel where the banquet was held, Ziyue discovered that it was hosted by Yuchuan.

Feasts organized by the Mogwin family were never ordinary. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Those in attendance were upper-class men and women. A luxurious air permeated the banquet.

Ziyue held onto Muchen as they entered and were welcomed by gazes from all around.

But these people were polite. They glanced at the two before looking away and nonchalantly continuing their actions.

After coming to Country J, she often attended banquets with Muchen. Still, she never thought that people would pay much attention to them.

The two went to meet Yuchuan first.

"Grandpa."

Ziyue raised her eyes and looked at Yuchuan. She could feel that Yuchuan didn't have a great complexion lately with just a quick glance. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Is he sick? Or does he have too much to do and tire himself out?
