Chapter 650 I’m Sure There Is, Let’s Sit and Wait

Muchen lifted the corner of his mouth as he called the waiter to pour him some wine and made a toast to the person who approached him.

He stood up and straightened his back. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

When others saw him standing, they started approaching him for a toast.

Muchen accepted every toast but couldn't drink much, so he only took a small sip to show respect.

Despite that, his employees were satisfied with his showmanship.

After all, this was the first time they saw Muchen being so friendly after working with him for so many years. Not only did he accept their toast, but he also greeted them kindly and warmly.

They had never seen this side of Muchen, so they felt startled by his approach.

There were plenty of employees that came up to him. Despite only taking a small sip each time, he had already finished half a bottle of wine after a round of toast.

Ziyue wanted to stop him from drinking more, but her words couldn't escape her mouth as she didn't want to spoil his employees' mood.

Muchen's stomach problems hadn't recurred in quite some time, and it was a rare occasion whereby everyone was having fun, so why not let him be? After all, he had already controlled himself.

By the time the crowd dispersed, the only one fully sober was Ziyue.

Even Chuan and Ke were tipsy, and their speeches were slurred.

Ziyue glanced around and saw some employees lying unconscious on the table while the others had gone to the washroom. Her head felt dizzy looking at them.

She turned around and saw Muchen lying on the chair with squinted eyes staring at the ceiling. His cold and stern face had a hint of redness.

Ziyue placed her palms around his face and felt heat radiating from him.

When he felt the touch of her hands, he immediately opened his eyes and stared grimly in her direction.

But his gaze slowly softened when he saw that it was Ziyue.

When she saw his half-lidded eyes opening, she said, "Stay here. I'll get people to send your employees back home. Wait here for me."

Due to the influence of alcohol, Muchen had a much-delayed reaction. He only responded to her after a short pause.

He held onto her hands and gently told her, "Let Chuan handle it."

Ziyue turned her head to look at Chuan.

Chuan was together with one of the managers. He pointed towards the plate, saying, "Why is there a chicken here? Get the manager here. There's a chicken here."

The manager replied with a sluggish tone, "No, it's a cake!"

"Chicken!"

"Maybe next time. There are no stars today."

"No."

She didn't know how to respond to him.

Ziyue tried to explain patiently to Muchen that no stars were visible that night, but he insisted on seeing the stars.

Also, he insisted on watching the stars from the highest mountain in the city.

His behavior left Ziyue dumbfounded. He was doing fine, but why is he acting like a kid now?

He wouldn't listen to her. When she said "No," he took his keys and wanted to drive up the mountain alone.

How could he go up the mountain in this state?

Ziyue ran out of ideas to stop him, so she had no choice but to drive him up the mountain.

She was afraid she might doze off on the way to the mountain, so she downed two cans of coffee before getting in the car.

Later, she realized that it was unnecessary as Muchen kept babbling about ceaselessly on the way up.

Ziyue would answer him initially but stopped responding when he started to blurt out nonsense she couldn't understand.

When he got bored, he started reciting poems.

Mandarin, English, French.

He would recite them in all the languages he knew.

Ziyue was dumbfounded and humored by his unpredictable acts.

As she counted, she realized he could speak seven to eight languages. She didn't know he was adept at using these many languages.

After pondering for a while, she said, "When we're back in Country Z, you'll be responsible for teaching Zixi foreign languages."

She couldn't tell if he had heard what she said as Muchen continued to recite his poem, not acknowledging her comments.

During their two to three hours ride to the top of the mountain, one had their eyes on the road while the other focused on reciting poems.

When they finally arrived at the mountaintop, Muchen was the first to leave the car.

He stared at the dark sky and looked at Ziyue, who came down belatedly, "Where are the stars?"

Ziyue hurriedly went to support him as she was afraid he would fall. "I told you there aren't any stars today, but you insisted on coming."

She could see Muchen's face clearly with the headlights shining at them.

After a short pause, he chuckled, "I'm sure there is. Let's sit and wait."

He turned around and walked backward two steps. Suddenly, he grabbed Ziyue's waist to lift her onto the car hood.

Ziyue almost jumped out of her skin when he picked her up out of the blue. "What are you doing?"
