Marry Me Quick

Chapter 552

Ziyue thought briefly and understood what Muchen meant. They had a controversial status in the Mogwin family. Thus, it would be unwise to bring Chuan and Ke with them.

On the other hand, Muchen considered what he had done to Wu. If he had brought Chuan and Ke, Yuchuan would use the chance to retaliate.

He looked at Ziyue sipping fruit juice and watched her momentarily before looking away.

Wu was ruined. Thus, Yuchuan was furious and would likely search for a way to seek revenge.

Muchen frowned as he thought about this.

He had expected to go this far against Yuchuan.

Suddenly, Jueyin appeared before them and said, "Hey, you two are back."

It was a small-scale family gathering. Thus, it was a casual affair where everyone gathered to chat and drink. Thus, the atmosphere was quite tranquil and relaxed.

However, Jueyin's loud voice immediately attracted people's attention.

Still, the other guests only glanced at them briefly before looking away.

Jueyin approached Muchen and lowered his voice. "See, you've scared these people."

Muchen glanced at him coldly and remained silent.

Jueyin was bored by his lack of reaction and whispered something to his female companion, making her laugh.

Ziyue glanced at Jueyin. He sensed her gaze and turned to her.

Seeing that, she asked politely, "Did you go to the hospital for a follow-up? How's your arm healing?"

Jueyin's arm was still in a cast. He wore an expensive suit and appeared no less gentlemanly and charming than usual. His noble birth likely imbued him with a dignity unaffected by external factors.

Ziyue did not feel guilty about making Jueyin fall that day. However, as time passed, she gradually believed a misunderstanding could arise. Thus, she felt uneasy about it.

"Hmm… I'm recovering quite well, but I still need to rest… I hope you enjoy your time here." Jueyin's smile was a little stiff. He led his female companion away as soon as he finished speaking.

Ziyue was stunned for a moment. His sense of prestige was a little puzzling to her.

Since she did not know anyone in the Mogwin family, she could only swirl the drink in her glass in boredom after Jeuyin left with his female companion.

Muchen returned to Country J as the president of LK Group. Furthermore, Yuchuan hinted that Muchen would be his successor, further elevating his standing.

Therefore, although Muchen sat still with an unapproachable demeanor, people would still try to get close to him.

It did not matter whether he was in Country Z or J. There would always be people seeking to approach him due to his status. However, the method they used was slightly different.

At this moment, a young man came to talk to Muchen.

Muchen looked at him with a smile that did not meet his eyes and remained silent.

The young man sensed Muchen's disinterest and felt awkward. He turned to Ziyue and complimented her, "You are beautiful."

Ziyue took note of his expression and glanced at Muchen. Then, she nodded and smiled. "Thank you."

The man seemed grateful for her response and left right away.

However, Muchen's expression darkened.

"Let's go to where Grandpa is." He pulled Ziyue's hand and headed to where Yuchuan was.

There were few people there. People likely maintained a respectful distance due to his advanced age and having the most respected status within the Mogwin family.

Occasionally, someone would come and talk to Yuchuan. However, it was only a brief exchange before the person left again. It showed how the family revered him.

Ziyue always felt conflicted whenever she saw Yuchuan.

"Grandpa." She and Muchen greeted him before sitting down.

Yuchuan glanced at them before turning to Zheng. "Bring me the chess set. I want to play a round with Muchen."

Ziyue looked at Muchen with a surprised expression.

The first half of Yuchuan's words were directed at Zheng, but the latter half was to Muchen.

Ziyue had lived with Muchen for a long time, but she never knew he could play chess.

He knows how to cook, manage a business, paint, and even play chess… Is there anything he doesn't know?

Ziyue felt a warm hand covering her hand and clasped it tightly. Then, she heard Muchen's pleasant voice. "Let's stay for a while before going home."

His warm breath tickled her ear. Ziyue returned to her senses and saw Muchen's kind expression before her.

She nodded. "Sure."

…

However, Muchen and Yuchuan's chess game dragged on for some time.

Initially, Ziyue could understand some of the moves, but as the game went on, she could not figure out what they were doing anymore.

The chess game had entered another deadlock. Muchen and Yuchuan were focused on figuring out their next steps.

Ziyue had been seated there all this while and was unable to relax. Her body felt stiff.

Thus, she wished to go out for a walk.

She glanced around and realized many people had left.

The family gathering was only a formality, and most of the family members did not like it. Everyone had opinions about it but had no choice but to attend it.

Therefore, some people quietly left while Yuchuan was not paying attention.

In actuality, Yuchuan knew but deliberately ignored it.

Meanwhile, Ziyue could not say anything as she did not wish to interrupt them.

Muchen held a chess piece in one hand and let his other hand rest beside him. Ziyue squeezed his hand, prompting him to turn to her immediately.

Ziyue blinked and mouthed, "I would like to go for a walk."

Muchen raised his eyebrows and clasped her soft hand.

Thus, Ziyue had no choice but to whisper, "I'll be back soon."

Muchen realized she was probably bored sitting there by herself and nodded.

That prompted Ziyue to smile. She got up immediately and made her way outside.

…

Mogwin Castle covered a vast area. Although Ziyue had lived here for some time, she was unfamiliar with the place and did not dare to walk too far.

Thus, she went to a quiet spot in the courtyard and sat down.

It was the middle of summer, so the weather was usually hot. However, the courtyard felt cool in the evening.

Ziyue sat comfortably on a bench and calculated Country Z's time before sending Xia a message.

Xia soon replied, and Ziyue began chatting with her.

As they were having fun messaging each other, Ziyue suddenly heard a familiar male voice. "Don't worry, sis. I'll pick you up. You can travel here with ease."

Ziyue was seated in an area surrounded by lush trees. It was also quite far from the lights. Furthermore, she was under a tree and shrouded by its shadow.

She looked around to find out where the voice came from.
