Marry Me Quick

Chapter 500

Chapter 500

He was downstairs just now and didn't see them come down, so he reckoned they went to the nursery.

He walked toward the nursery and opened the door to see Ziyue leaning against the headboard, scrolling through her phone.

His expression softened, but the tension in his voice remained. "Why did you bring Zixi here?"

Ziyue averted her gaze from the phone screen to glance at Muchen and replied nonchalantly, "You prepared the nursery so that Zixi could sleep alone, didn't you? I'm helping him to adapt."

Muchen ignored her excuse and commanded, "Go back to our room."

"I don't want to. Since the nursery is ready, it'll be a waste if it remains unoccupied. I'll accompany Zixi here for a few days so that he'll get used to it."

After saying that, Ziyue smiled faintly as if nothing happened.

"Ziyue!" Muchen couldn't help raising his voice. Of course, he knew Ziyue was inventing an excuse. Nonetheless, the latter was not intimidated by his yelling. She patted Zixi gently and retorted, "Lower your volume. You'll wake Zixi."

Muchen frowned. "Do you insist on sleeping in separate rooms today?"

"It's not that I want to sleep in a separate room. I just want to accompany Zixi so he can get used to sleeping in this room." Ziyue explained with a calm look and didn't seem to be annoyed.

"I disagree. Go back to our room now." Muchen demanded.

"Stop making a fuss already. Aren't you tired after a long day? Quickly go and rest." With that, Ziyue was about to lie down to sleep.

However, Muchen carried her in his arms before she could lie down.

"What are you doing?!" Ziyue controlled her volume because Zixi was asleep.

Carrying her, Muchen walked back to the master room and hummed, "Carrying my wife to sleep in our room."

His tone was extremely serious despite his emotionless face. Ziyue was exasperated as she couldn't do anything about him. "You…"

"It's my fault I didn't tell you about Zixi's birthday banquet earlier …" Muchen did not look at Ziyue as he continued mumbling, "I spread the invitation so that the mastermind who drugged me and people from Gricy would show up."

Ziyue realized Muchen was explaining to her about the birthday banquet.

"When you asked me before, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. I wanted to settle the matter on my own, so it wouldn't bother you." Muchen's voice softened as he continued explaining.

On the other hand, Ziyue was not surprised at all as she had guessed something similar, but she just hadn't affirmed her speculation.

Her heart was in her mouth when she heard Muchen mention the mastermind who drugged him and Gricy.

"Are you okay? Did anything happen during the banquet?" He didn't want me to worry, so he prevented Yuchuan and me from appearing at the banquet, but that just made me even more worried! He would have allowed us to stay in the banquet hall if it wasn't dangerous. Besides, this proves that to Muchen, Yuchuan is as important as Zixi and I.

"I'm fine. Nothing much happened during the banquet. We only managed to catch a few underlings from Gricy who are not directly associated with the key people in the organization. Basically, we gained nothing." Muchen's voice turned cold.

At that moment, they reached the master room.

Muchen put Ziyue down and asked while staring into her eyes. "Do you still want to sleep in separate rooms?"

Ziyue parted her lips but was at a loss for words. How weird is this guy. Why would he only explain it to me after I get mad? We've experienced so many things together. He could've told me his plans beforehand. Or… is it because he still doesn't trust me enough?

Ziyue hesitated but ended up not speaking her mind.

She turned to look at the side and muttered, "I never said I wanted to sleep in separate rooms with you – that's your own opinion. I just wanted to accompany Zixi."

Muchen arched his brows and didn't intend to continue bickering with Ziyue on this topic.

"Excuse me. I'm going back to accompany Zixi." Ziyue nudged Muchen.
