Marry Me Quick

Chapter 498

Chapter 498

Ziyue turned to Yuchuan immediately. The moment she saw his snarky smile, her heart fell.

Yuchuan was Zixi's maternal great-grandfather. Usually, the older generations loved children.

However, Ziyue could tell from Yuchuan and Zixi's first interaction today that they did not jell with each other. In fact, Yuchuan did not seem to like Zixi. She shuddered when she thought about why Yuchuan wanted to take Zixi to Country J.

Regardless, she would not agree to Yuchuan's request, whether or not he was joking.

"It's better for children to stay with their parents. Furthermore, I believe you would enjoy peace and quiet. Children are quite noisy." Ziyue countered gently, trying to hide her emotions from the older man.

"I was just joking. Poor girl – you're so surprised!" Yuchuan chuckled. Ziyue laughed quietly as well but quickly fell silent.

I have never won an argument against Yuchuan. The less I speak, the better it'll be.

Yuchuan observed Ziyue's silence. Bored of the lack of banter, he rolled his eyes at her and left.

His disdain for Ziyue had transferred over to Zixi. Without Muchen, spending extra time with Ziyue was a waste of time.

Sensing Yuchuan's departure, Ziyue finally felt like she could breathe freely.

She never understood Muchen and Yuchuan's relationship.

She had only encountered two types of familial bonds. Her own family would associate with each other only to get something beneficial out of the interaction. On the other hand, she witnessed how loving and sacrificial Enyang was toward his sister.


However, Muchen and Yuchuan did not behave like family – they behaved like opponents.

Ziyue had a feeling that their relationship was too complicated to describe. Muchen almost broke ties with his grandfather over Ziyue, but it was not a full-blown disagreement.

She believed, in the end, no matter how bad their relationship was, blood was still thicker than water.

And yet, she had a feeling that Yuchuan had more tricks up his sleeve, especially after the off-handed remark he made about taking Zixi away.

She would not let him take her child away.

"Mom…" Zixi's voice pulled her back into reality.

Turning back to Zixi, she offered him a smile as she picked him up. "What's up, my dear?" She whispered as she put the boy on the sofa.

"It was my fault. I didn't hold the glass properly…" He blinked at her, while trying his best to explain what had happened.

Ziyue realized that his eyes were wide, but his drawn-down brows indicated that he was trying to be very careful with his words.

He is trying to explain what happened with the broken glass. Zixi does not have a bad temper – he will not throw things about.

"Ah, yes. I know you didn't do it on purpose."

Zixi nodded to himself before adding quietly. "I don't want to go with great-Grandpa."

"Don't worry, Mom won't let great-Grandpa take you away." Ziyue smiled at her child. Her reassuring words comforted him, making him giggle.

…

Ziyue and Zixi spent the whole day in Yuchuan's presidential suite. They did not see him apart from when having dinner together. However, Ziyue was not curious about what he did in his room and what was happening in the banquet hall. Instead, she felt quite content being ignored.

Muchen appeared only when night fell. Ziyue heard someone walking in and looked up to see Muchen trudging in – pale and obviously exhausted.

"Is everything done?"

Muchen took a deep breath as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself just in time. "Yeah."

"Dad!" Zixi called out as he wrapped himself around Muchen's leg.

Muchen looked downwards at the boy hugging his leg, and his tiredness melted into affection.
