Marry Me Quick

Chapter 512

The reality proved that Ziyue's worries were unfounded.

While she was still worrying about Zixi being unable to adapt to preschool, he had already become the most popular student in his class.

Zixi had recently turned two and was the youngest in class. The other children were older than him.

Moreover, he began to get used to sleeping alone.

Every night, he would go upstairs and head to his bedroom. He no longer went to Ziyue and Muchen's master bedroom.

Furthermore, he woke up before them in the morning.

Ziyue was surprised by Zixi's adaptability. It showed that Muchen's decision was correct.

Letting Zixi interact with other children was good for him.

…

It was now Friday.

Ziyue headed to the preschool as soon as she finished work.

Since Muchen's company was nearer to the preschool, he would always arrive before Ziyue.

However, when she arrived today, his car was not in the car park. She could not resist feeling glee at finally coming earlier than him.

But Muchen still did not arrive even after Ziyue picked up Zixi and returned to the car.

As she was thinking how strange it was, Zixi asked, "Where's Daddy?"

"He's not here yet." Ziyue patted his head.

Then, she recalled something and offered Zixi her phone. "Why don't you call your father and ask when he's arriving?"

"Okay." Zixi nodded and reached for the phone.

Ziyue's smile faded when she thought about how children liked to play with phones. She took the phone back.

"Let me dial the number for you first."

Ziyue dialed Muchen's number and turned on the speaker mode before placing the phone in Zixi's hands.

Muchen soon answered.

His voice sounded gentler than usual on the phone. "Have you picked up Zixi?"

Ziyue did not answer Muchen but said to Zixi, "Daddy answered the phone. Can you ask him when he will be here?"

But all Zixi said was, "Daddy… here."

Muchen did not expect Zixi to be the one answering and was briefly surprised before saying, "Zixi, is that you?"

"Yes, me," Zixi answered earnestly.

Muchen chuckled and said, "All right. Can you give the phone to Mommy first? I have something to say to her."

"Okay." Zixi passed the phone to Ziyue. "Mommy… Phone."

Ziyue took the phone and said, "Why aren't you here yet? Do you have to work overtime today? Or do you have to deal with something else?"

"Something happened, and I can't explain it now. You should take Zixi home first."

Since Muchen sounded calm, Ziyue did not suspect anything. She talked to him for a while more before hanging up.

…

After Ziyue and Zixi got home, she waited for Muchen, but he still did not show up. Instead, she later received news that Muchen was placed under criminal arrest.

She surfed the Web on her phone after bathing Zixi. That was how she found out the news about Muchen.

It was the top headline on various major news websites. "Muchen of LK Group under criminal arrest for suspicion of fatally injuring a person."

There were a few photos in the article. Although they were slightly blurry, anyone who knew Muchen well could tell at a glance that it was him.

Ziyue's heart sank.

What's going on? Why is Muchen under criminal arrest? Why would he cause someone fatal injury?

Whether the matter was true, all she knew was that it would be challenging to deal with once such news broke out.

She left the news website to call Muchen. However, she could not find his phone number even after continuous searching.

Suddenly, Chuan called.

"Chuan, Muchen…" Ziyue's throat became constricted. She could not bring herself to speak.

"I'm not sure what happened either. A moment ago, someone told me the boss had been arrested. Before I could figure out what happened, I saw the news."

Although Chuan sounded anxious, he was still able to speak clearly.

Ziyue calmed her emotions and said, "I called him when I went to pick up Zixi. At the time, he said he had to deal with something and told me to take Zixi home first."

After hearing her, Chuan said, "Something must have happened after you spoke to him. Mrs. Qin, don't worry. You should take good care of Zixi, and I'll deal with this matter."

Once the call ended, Ziyue slumped against the couch. Her phone slipped out of her hand.

Then, she picked it up again and called Muchen.
