Marry Me Quick

Chapter 499

Chapter 499

Ziyue suppressed her worry and turned to glance at Muchen. Seeing his calm countenance, she reckoned he had not perceived Yuchuan's intention, so she retracted her gaze.

The truth was, Muchen understood Yuchuan's meaning, but he had his own thoughts.

"Which area of Yunzhou City would you like to stay at? I can prepare the house and servants for you. Just let me know once you make up your mind. I'll get the things ready."

After saying that, Muchen didn't bother to observe Yuchuan's reaction but lowered his head and said to Zixi, "Zixi, say goodbye to great-Grandpa."

Zixi squeaked obediently, "Goodbye, great-Grandpa."

"We shall head off first, Grandpa." Ziyue echoed.

Although Yuchuan was displeased, he did not show his emotions in front of Muchen. He waved his hand in frustration and croaked, "Alright, go ahead."

With that, Muchen led Ziyue and Zixi away.

…

Because Muchen had drunk some wine, the driver drove the car on the way back.

Zixi didn't nap today, so he dozed off quickly after getting into the car. When they arrived at the residence, Muchen walked at the front and carried Zixi in his arms while Ziyue followed him at the back. Both remained silent as they walked into the house.

After entering the house, Muchen put Zixi to bed upstairs while Ziyue waited for him in the living room as she needed to talk to him.


After sitting on the couch, Ziyue dismissed the servants and waited for Muchen alone in the living room.

When Muchen came downstairs and noticed the servants were not around, he knew Ziyue wanted to talk to him.

He walked over and asked, "Did Grandpa give you a hard time?"

"What if I say yes?" Ziyue crossed her arms and stared at Muchen with a hard look.

Muchen was startled when he heard the response.

"He is advanced in age and is getting more short-tempered. Don't take his words to heart."

"Mm-hmm." The awkward conversation made the atmosphere rather tense.

"Besides…" Muchen paused for a while before continuing, "He more or less feels guilty toward you, so he won't harm you anymore. Even if he has those intentions, I won't let those things happen again." His tone became firmer toward the end of his sentence.

Ziyue was amused by Muchen's comment. Yuchuan feels guilty toward me? That sounds unbelievable! He wouldn't have said those words to me if that were true.

Ziyue didn't know why Muchen would have that impression. She only knew that Yuchuan didn't have to go after her now because he could directly go after Zixi if he wanted to attack her.

After pondering it, Ziyue asked, "If he wants to take Zixi away, will you agree?"

Muchen was stunned for a moment before denying it resolutely. "No, he won't raise such a request."

"Are you so certain?" Ziyue looked at Muchen with a straight face and continued, "He's been wanting to control you all these while but to no avail. Isn't it normal if he switches his target to your son?"

Even Ziyue was taken aback by her speculation. She had no idea how forceful Yuchuan could be, but the more she thought about it, the more she reckoned Yuchuan would do such things.

"He won't. Don't worry about the unnecessary things." Muchen's answer was as firm as before.

Ziyue was more assured upon receiving his affirmative response.

"What happened between you and Shichu today?" Ziyue had been mulling over the incident the entire day but couldn't figure out why they fought. It couldn't possibly be because of me.

Muchen lifted his eyes and glanced at Ziyue. Perceiving her calmness, he hesitated for a second and mumbled, "There was a small misunderstanding."

At that moment, he was certain that Shichu was the team leader of K7 Pharmaceutical Team, but he didn't have evidence. Besides, Ziyue had known Shichu since they were young, so the latter was an important person to her. If he told Ziyue about the matter before obtaining sufficient evidence, Ziyue would definitely not believe it. In fact, he thought that even if he found reliable evidence, Ziyue might still not believe him.

"A small misunderstanding? If that was true, you wouldn't have flared up and roughed him up." Ziyue didn't buy Muchen's words because he was clearly blinding her.
