Marry Me Quick

Chapter 390

Ziyue wasn't in the mood to talk anymore.

She nodded, and silence enveloped them.

Xiyi hesitated before speaking. "I'm really sorry. I didn't know you weren't Lin Zixi's biological mother. I thought the two of you would be overjoyed with the result. Although it turned out this way, I believe in Mr. Qin's ethics."

Although Muchen threatened him to lie that the results were wrong, Xiyi felt that his actions were all for Ziyue.

Xiyi hardly socialized with others. Even he, who was slow on the uptake of emotions and human relations, felt that Muchen cared a lot for Ziyue.

He was touched by this fact.

But he couldn't lie due to his principles.

He wasn't Muchen, who would do anything for Ziyue.

He was Mo Xiyi. His principles as a doctor were the most important thing to him.

"Yeah, I trust his ethics too." Ziyue put on a plastic smile.

Xiyi turned to leave but faced her again. "Please call me if Mr. Qin doesn't feel well."

She nodded. "I will."

Xiyi was an upright person.

The test results couldn't be faked.

Just as Xiyi trusted Muchen, she believed that he wouldn't have messed around. She knew he could restrain himself.

Yet, with the truth before them, any justification would mean nothing.

She sat blankly in the living room when a loud bang came from the floor above.

He was breaking things again.

Such a terrible temper.

But she refused to say anything to him.

A moment later, a door upstairs creaked open.

Footsteps stomped down the stairs.

"Ziyue, let's talk."

Muchen's voice was filled with anxiety.

"Alright."

She stayed seated in her spot. She wanted to talk to him too.

He walked and stood before her. "I've never touched another woman."

She raised her head and glanced at him. "I believe you."

She believed he had given her his heart and soul.

She quickly lowered her head. Muchen towered over her. He should be the one imposing on her. But he felt that he was more on edge after looking at Ziyue's reactions.

He crouched down and gripped her arms. "Look at me!"

In his agitation, he hadn't realized he was pinching her wound.

She hissed in pain. He immediately pulled away his hands as if he had been electrocuted.

"I'm sorry, I'm…" He watched as she frowned. He wanted to reach out to her but was scared of hurting her again. The large man crouched before her helplessly.

She couldn't bear to see him in that way. She lowered her eyes. "Don't crouch here. Sit on the sofa."

"Alright."

He sat on the seat opposite her.

The air was silent.

They didn't speak for a while.

Ziyue pressed her lips together. "I want to move back to the apartment for the time being."

He raised his head immediately. A dark look flashed across his face. "No!"

She took a deep breath. "Listen to me."

She waited until he collected himself. "When I look at you, I'll remember Zixi. You can't tell me that Xiyi's test results were wrong. You've known him longer than I do. You know how much he values his principles as a doctor. He wouldn't have falsified the results. So, I want some time away from you. You can take this time and investigate this matter."

He understood her words, but it wouldn't make sense if he agreed to her request.

Muchen's tone was forced. "I'll investigate it, but I refuse to be separated."

"It's just for a short while." She couldn't accept Muchen's child from another woman.

Even if he could pretend that Zixi didn't exist for her, she would feel terrible.

The child was innocent. All fathers must fulfill their responsibilities.

Besides, he liked children…

"No, not even if it's just for a short while." His face was dark, refusing to bargain anymore.

Ziyue was aware of his temper but felt furious.

"Qin Muchen, this is not the time to throw a tantrum! Do you want us to continue with our lives, pretending that Zixi doesn't exist, thinking that we can lead a happy and peaceful life? That's not possible!"

"I don't care. Those are…"

He stopped in the middle of his sentence when he saw her red eyes. He began panicking. "Alright…"

He paused. "This is temporary. I'll pick you up when everything's over. Don't cry anymore."

…

Ziyue moved back to the apartment.
