Marry Me Quick

Chapter 560

Chapter 560

Thinking back to when they were still at the restaurant, Chuan couldn't help but worry for Ziyue at the sight of Muchen's touchiness.

Muchen's temper was hard to predict. If it wasn't because Muchen had adopted Ke and Chuan, enabling them to start anew with Muchen since childhood. Chuan would not be able to handle Muchen's temperament either.

Outsiders only see Muchen had good looks and billions of net worth. But Chuan wondered if any women would still fall for Muchen if they knew about his explosive temperament.

Ziyue nodded, wanting to ask about Muchen, but Chuan spoke first. "Boss went out for a breather. He should be back soon."

Ziyue beamed a faint smile. "I see. You must be tired. Go home and rest early."

Chuan didn't say anything. He nodded and went back to his room.

As Chuan went upstairs, Ziyue held the glass of water and sat on the living room sofa.

Is he getting fresh air or simply trying to avoid me because of our argument?

Ziyue couldn't help but smile wryly.

Every relationship ought to have conflicts. Was he going to avoid her like this whenever they argued?

On the second floor, Ke heard the car engine sound, so she came out and waited on the stairway. She quickly grabbed Chuan when she saw him coming upstairs.

"Where's the boss?" Ke asked.

Chuan furrowed and removed her grip, "How rude. I'm your brother. You didn't even greet me."

"Come on, where did Boss go? Didn't the two of you attend the social event together? How come only you came back?" Seeing Chuan's indifferent demeanor, Ke can't help but be anxious.

Chuan glanced down the stairway from the second floor, sighed, and said, "Boss initially wanted to come home, but Madam called and asked me to monitor his alcohol intake. I told Boss about it, but he flared up and sped off..."

Chuan sighed as he recalled waiting for a taxi for about an hour at the restaurant entrance.

"Why did he get angry? He should be happy, isn't he?" Ke's brows knotted as she shook her head resignedly.

"God knows."

"Boss is touchy..."

"Let's just call it a day."

Meanwhile, Ziyue was still a bit worried. She returned to her room, hummed, and hawed before giving Muchen a call.

While waiting for the call, she bit her lip, thought she would follow suit, and run away from home if Muchen refused her call.

In the end, she only heard an automated female voice on the other end of the line saying, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable."

Ziyue was stunned. She didn't expect Muchen would shut his phone.

Frustrated. She bit her lip, threw her phone aside, and tucked herself under the blanket.

Ziyue resented Muchen for being petty and shunned her from reaching him over the phone.

She decided not to wait anymore. If the call couldn't get through, then so be it.

She tried lulling herself to sleep. But she kept waking up after a short while.

The whole night was spent tossing and turning. She felt even more tired than before she went to bed.

Finally, she woke up again. This time from a nightmare.

Ziyue propped herself up on the bed, leaning against the headboard. She checked the time on her phone and realized it was only one o'clock in the morning.

Muchen still hadn't come home.

It was common for Muchen to stay out all night because he always did that.

Perhaps because of her nightmare, Ziyue felt somewhat unsettled.

She tried calling Muchen again, but the call still couldn't go through.

Subsequently, anxiety seized her. Ziyue threw on a coat without hesitation and dashed to Chuan's room.

She frantically knocked on Chuan's door while calling for him, "Chuan! Chuan!"

At this time, a servant came up from downstairs. Perhaps due to waking up in the middle of the night, Ziyue could barely hear her voice, "Madam, Mr. Chuan left half an hour ago."

"Chuan left? Where did he go? And for what?" Somehow, after hearing the servant's words, Ziyue's unease found an outlet and rushed through her body and mind.

The servant asked anxiously when she heeded Ziyue's ashen face, "Madam, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Ziyue beckoned to indicate that she was okay.

She turned around and walked back to her room. Just before she gave Chuan a call, a call from him came through.
