Marry Me Quick

Chapter 487

Ziyue waited for Muchen to say something.

But Muchen didn't say a word, although she kept waiting for some time.

Ziyue rushed him again, "Tell me who's the culprit."

Muchen fixed his eyes on the road ahead. And when Ziyue was about to get flustered, only then he said, "I don't know."

"Are you sure?" Ziyue didn't believe him. She knew Muchen was hiding something from her.

Muchen then said to her, "We're home."

Then only Ziyue realized that she was bogged down in their conversation, that she had lost her sense of time and that they had arrived home.

After getting off the car, Ziyue intended to probe him some more, but her intention was disrupted by the needy Zixi, who was craving her attention.

…

Although Xiyi had advised Muchen to prioritize rest over work, the workload accumulated over time had gotten out of hand.

Not only for Muchen but for Ziyue as well.

Ziyue tried to devise a plan with Muchen, "You can work in the morning. In the noon, you can nap with Zixi and play with him in the afternoon."

Muchen raised his eyebrow. He didn't say yes or no, but asked her, "What about you?"

On a whim, Ziyue thought of teasing him. She hid her mischief and said solemnly, "I'm going back to the office to work and be the breadwinner of our family. While you can be a stay-at-home father and manage our home and child. What do you think? Am I not a perfect wife and the most impeccable woman a man could ever have?

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but burst into a laughing fit first.

But Muchen still looked stolid, as if he couldn't catch Ziyue's humor.

Subsequently, Muchen tenderly pinched her face and said, "Of course."

He didn't sound or look joking at all. Having said that, he also fixed his bewitching eyes on Ziyue, and the latter was enthralled by his charm.

Ziyue blinked, touched her own cheek and said mischievously, "Okay then, I'll go back to the office tomorrow."

Muchen just responded lightly, "Okay."

Because Muchen didn't dispute her intention, Ziyue suddenly remembered her previous plan.

She pondered and then said in all seriousness, "Muchen, I've thought about it before and still think you should acquire Feng Group. I don't want to strain with frequent business trips to Jincheng City."

If Muchen refused to acquire Feng Group, it would be inevitable for her to travel back and forth to Jingcheng City in the future.

She had no desire for the kind of hectic lifestyle that required her to be away from her family all the time. She just wanted to lead a stable lifestyle where she could be with her family.

If Muchen agreed to acquire Feng Group, he could just send someone from the company to manage Feng Group in Jingcheng City. Then, she can stay in Yunzhou City and continue working in Yanyue Group.

Muchen refused her suggestion immediately, "No way."

"Why not?" Ziyue was puzzled. Wouldn't Muchen want an easy way out as well?

Due to his deteriorating health condition, he required her to travel to Jingcheng City to handle Feng Group's affair.

Muchen explained to her patiently, "I can get someone to take over your work in Feng Group if you're feeling overwhelmed or lazy. If not, I can take over your responsibility as well. But it is impossible for me to acquire Feng Group."

The Feng family was the most affluent in the northern region. Feng Group was a family-owned business handed down from their forefathers for many generations. However, the Feng family had very few children and heirs to assume the family empire. After the passing of Feng Shujing and Feng Xingyan, Ziyue became the sole heir of Feng Group.

The acquisition of Feng Group would be a clever move for Muchen. Still, the threat of Gricy hadn't been eradicated yet. Suppose LK Group acquired and merged Feng Group into its corporation. In that case, it might lead to a double-whammy situation that would jeopardize both LK Group and Feng Group.

Even though it was just an inference, he didn't see the need to acquire Feng Group now since it belonged to Ziyue.

In other words, Gricy's ultimate target was LK Group. Gricy could find a loophole to infiltrate LK's headquarters in Country J.

Feng Group was also the largest leading organization in Country Z which directly impacted Country Z's economy. But if Gricy was daring enough to tread on their toes, then Gricy would be hounded by a nation as influential as Country Z.

Gricy was undoubtedly savage, but their influence and territory were only rooted in Europe. So, they were still apprehensive about Country Z.

"If that's the case, why won't you acquire Feng Group?" Ziyue was tenacious in terms of acquiring Feng Group.

Muchen leaned over and pecked her lips. He soothed her troubled heart with his deep voice, "There's no point for an acquisition to take place. But I can get someone to manage Feng Group for you."

Ziyue snorted in displeasure as she caught the disdain in his tone. It was no big deal if he refused to acquire Feng Group. She didn't need him to find someone to manage Feng Group for her. She could handle it just fine.

…

The next few days, life was a bed of roses for Ziyue.

Just like she had suggested, she went to work, and Muchen took care of Zixi and their household matters.

Every night after work, she came home to Muchen and Zixi watering the plants in the yard like other regular father and sons.

Muchen was home every day, so didn't need to wear his suits and ties. Instead, he would wear lounge clothes, and his short hair made him look so much younger than his actual age.

Yet, this tranquil life was too good to be true to Ziyue.

She couldn't help but pine over Yannan's death, Enyang's disappearance, and the culprit that goaded Yannan to infect Muchen...

These question marks hadn't been resolved yet. Their lives might seem unaffected, but the anxiety from the lingering doubts and suspicions were still at large.

But seeing that Muchen was unperturbed, Ziyue didn't want to overthink.

One day, Ziyue came home to see two bodyguards carrying a loaded sack.

Ziyue was fazed, "What is in the sack?"

One of the bodyguards quickly said, "These are perishables that have rotten and are no longer edible. The servants overbought some groceries the other day, and they went bad before they could cook it."
