Marry Me Quick

Chapter 544

Remembering what Jueyin said about Wu, Ziyue parted her lips as she wanted to ask Muchen.

Perceiving that she wanted to say something, Muchen asked, "What is it?"

"Did Jueyin tell you about Wu?" Ziyue reckoned Jueyin must have told Muchen about it before telling her.

Muchen's expression froze for a second before he hummed in response. "Mm-hmm."

Then, he asked, "Did he tell you about it just now?"

"Yeah, he said Wu was bitten by a snake." Ziyue stared at Muchen with a confused and inquisitive look, waiting for his analysis.

If the victim were another person, she would at most feel sorry for him or her, but she was more concerned because she had grudges against Wu.

It was evident that someone deliberately wanted to harm Wu as revenge.

However, Ziyue could not think of a suspect.

"Yeah," Muchen hummed indifferently and said nothing.

Ziyue pouted. She recognized Muchen had no intention of discussing this matter with her, so she gave up. However, she decided to find time to visit Wu.

…

On the other hand, Xiyi returned to Country J alone before Muchen could ask him to, and he came to them in the villa.

After all, they had stayed in Country J before, so they were familiar with the surroundings. As such, Xiyi was able to find them in the villa the moment he returned to the country.

The villa was huge, with a lush yard at its entrance. Besides, there was a swimming pool, a greenhouse, and an unexpected vegetable plot.

Muchen and the Nan siblings headed out early in the morning, so Ziyue brought the servants to the plot.

She did not know how to farm but was bored while the other three were working.

Holding a shovel, she thought she had to tell Muchen about her desire to get a job.

Just then, a bodyguard hurriedly led a man toward the vegetable plot.

The sun was piercing. Ziyue could only recognize the visitor was Xiyi when she squinted her eyes. She was so surprised that she dropped her shovel.

Only yesterday Muchen told me he would summon Xiyi back, but how did he return so soon? I don't think I've seen Muchen calling Xiyi from last night until now.

As Xiyi approached them, Ziyue dismissed her questions and walked to a shaded area. She wiped away her sweat and waited for Xiyi to come over.

Xiyi looked weary after a long journey but did not have a hair out of place. He walked up to Ziyue and stood upright as he greeted her courteously. "Hi, Mrs. Qin."

He nodded slightly. Ziyue smiled when she perceived his modest demeanor.

"Muchen mentioned you yesterday, but I didn't know you would return today." Ziyue specially used the word 'return' to make Xiyi feel welcomed.

Xiyi was different from Chuan – Chuan had always been with Muchen, so he was extremely loyal to Muchen. However, Xiyi was a workaholic who was obsessed with medical experiments. He was very interested in Gricy's K7 team. He was not as loyal as Chuan because he was only devoted to his passion.

As such, he might join Gricy one day due to his passion for his medical career.

Any forward-looking leader would need someone like Xiyi. However, Muchen was unlikely to think about this aspect. After all, men's reasoning differed from women's – women were more sophisticated and adept in managing interpersonal relationships and emotional interaction.

Xiyi was startled for a moment before he nodded and asked Ziyue with a frown. "How has Mr. Qin been?"

"Pretty good. He went to the office with the Nan siblings, so only I'm home." Ziyue paused and continued, "Go ahead and wash up first. I'll ask the chef to prepare some food for you. We can talk about the others later."

Ziyue reckoned Xiyi must have some urgent matters, hence the hasty return. Nevertheless, she hoped Xiyi could take some rest first.

Xiyi was taken aback by Ziyue's enthusiasm, but he accepted her kindness and left with the servant.

…

An hour later, Xiyi went to find Ziyu after showering and eating.

Ziyue just finished chatting with Xia over WeChat. Upon seeing Xiyi's arrival, she kept her phone away.

"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Ziyue thought Xiyi returned in a hurry to find Muchen, but she realized that if that were true, Xiyi would have directly gone to see Muchen at LK Group.
