Marry Me Quick

Chapter 540

Wu and Yuchuan had expressions of disbelief after listening to Muchen.

Wu was not familiar with Muchen's character.

However, Yuchuan knew Muchen well enough to understand that he would not let Wu off that easily.

Thus, Yuchuan considered and felt that Muchen respected him. That could be why he did not confront Wu before him.

His expression softened slightly as he thought about this.

"Since Muchen allowed you to leave, you should head out first."

After Yuchuan confirmed that she was allowed to leave, and Muchen remained silent, Wu finally felt comfortable leaving the room.

As soon as she left, the room's atmosphere turned oppressive.

Yuchuan furrowed his brow. Before he could speak, Muchen said, "I would like to move out. This place is far from LK Group. It's too much hassle."

Yuchuan thought Muchen would carry on where they left off before. He was surprised that this was all Muchen had to say.

Thus, Yuchuan replied in disbelief, "What?"

"I said I would like to move out for now and stay somewhere nearer to the company," Muchen explained patiently. It was rare for him not to show annoyance before Yuchuan.

Yuchuan recalled that Muchen did not seem angry with Wu earlier and relaxed slightly. However, he suddenly remembered what happened in Qin Jueyin's room before this and knitted his brows again.

He believed Muchen had noticed his motive and intended to move out of the castle with a lousy excuse to protect Ziyue.

However, Muchen did not fight with him about it as he did before, which gave Yuchuan the idea that Muchen had given in.

At the same time, he also sensed he should not force Muchen's hand.

After considering for a while, he replied evenly, "You have grown up, so you are free to choose where you want to live, and I won't get involved. However…"

His tone suddenly changed, and he looked at Muchen sternly. He noticed Muchen's calm expression and continued, "The presidential election will be coming soon, and the situation outside is not tranquil. I'll assign you a team of elite bodyguards."

Although Yuchuan sounded concerned, Muchen knew he did this to have people continue watching him.

However, Muchen did not care.

After all, one could never predict who would win in the end.

"Thank you, Grandpa. We will move out tonight." Muchen left right after that without bothering to say goodbye.

Yuchuan was displeased but chose to stay silent.

…

After bathing, Ziyue lay in bed to wait for Muchen's return.

However, Muchen did not show up even after waiting a long time, which worried her.

As she was about to look for him, she suddenly heard the maid's voice from outside the room.

"Good evening, Master Muchen."

"Is Mrs. Qin asleep?"

Muchen lowered his voice.

As Ziyue tried to pay more attention to the conversation, Muchen suddenly opened the door and walked in.

He paused at the door briefly as he looked at the bed. When he found Ziyue seated in it, he locked the door and walked to her.

Ziyue watched Muchen as he approached the bed and took a seat. She tossed her blanket at him, shuffled towards him, and asked, "What took you so long to return?"

Ziyue looked clean and bright after her bath. Furthermore, her pink pajamas and gentle tone made her seem soft and adorable.

Muchen could not resist pinching her cheek gently. Ziyue frowned and tried to hide, but Muchen reached out to squeeze her cheek.

In the end, Ziyue had to slap his hand away before he would explain. "There were things that needed to be taken care of, so I returned late. However, we don't have to sleep here tonight."

Ziyue looked at him with a shocked expression. "Why? What happened?"

Muchen looked at her and answered thoughtfully, "I wish to move somewhere closer to the company. It's more convenient that way."

Ziyue frowned and tilted her head. "Do you think I believe that?"

"It doesn't matter if you do. We're moving out tonight." Muchen immediately got up and started packing.

Seeing this, Ziyue was finally convinced that he was serious about leaving here tonight.

Initially, she thought to ask him again about what happened, but he obviously would not tell her.

Thus, Ziyue could only give up questioning him.

She got up to change her clothes and wanted to help Muchen pack their things.

However, as soon as she got close, Muchen extended his long arm and said, "Sit there."

Ziyue snorted softly and muttered, "It feels strange."

Still, she was touched.

From primary school through high school, and even when Su Youcheng made her go overseas for further studies, no one bothered to help her pack her bags before she left.

That was until she met Muchen.
