Marry Me Quick

Chapter 569

Muchen seemed to be amused by her words. He lifted the corner of his lips and sneered.

He looked increasingly sinister as the smile on his face grew wider.

Ziyue frowned slightly. She repeated herself. "I'm serious!"

"Why should I listen to you?" Muchen shoved both hands into his pocket. He looked ignorant.

The next moment, his facial muscles clenched, and he reached out his hand to squeeze Ziyue's chin.

He glared at her from a higher angle. He looked menacing as he spoke coldly, "I shall do whatever I want to him! You have no say!"

You have no say…

Ziyue had never expected him to say something like this. Her chin hurt so much from his grip that she could only manage to choke out a word, "You…"

Muchen brushed her lips lightly with his thumb, then kissed her gently. He slowly released his grip. The look on his face became less menacing as he spoke with a low voice. "Be more obedient. Perhaps I will let him go when I'm in a better mood."

Ziyue studied Muchen quietly with her lips pursed.

Muchen had been acting weirdly since returning from the hospital after his surgery. He did not speak to anyone. The way he carried himself, as well as his forever-menacing expression now, made it impossible for anyone to guess his mood.

More importantly, he seemed… not to care about her anymore.

Could it be side effects from 'K1LU73', which Xiyi had mentioned to her before?

He had told her that the guinea pigs involved in the experimental studies of the virus had gone crazy and killed each other.

Should she feel relieved that Muchen had only changed his personality and not gone crazy?

She could not find any reason to convince Muchen now.

But she could not watch Shichu die.

She could not let Shichu die no matter what.

However, she knew Muchen would most probably chase her out if she continued speaking for Shichu now.

Ziyue forced a smile. "Alright."

She had no choice but to obey him since she could not guess his thoughts now.

Muchen narrowed his eyes and stared at her momentarily before letting her go. Then, he headed straight to the bedroom.

Ziyue followed him. She thought she should help him as he had just completed his surgery.

Muchen stopped suddenly. He frowned and glanced at her. "It was a minor surgery. It's not like I got crippled and can't walk. Why do you have to hold onto me?"

He stretched his hand out to pull Ziyue's hand away.

Ziyue held tightly onto his arm. "I'm not holding onto you. I just want to be closer to you."

Thanks to Muchen's training, she did not blush anymore when she said embarrassing stuff like this.

Muchen raised his eyebrows and stared at her. He seemed pleased.

Ziyue lowered her head in embarrassment. She tugged onto his arm and said, "Come on, let's return to the bedroom."

The next moment, Muchen lifted her and carried her.

Ziyue squealed in surprise. Muchen teased her, "You'd be closer to me this way."

"You are crazy! Put me down!" Ziyue did not dare to move. She was afraid that she might tear his wound.

He had just got discharged from the hospital today. Although he could walk and eat like usual, his wound needed some time to heal. He was not supposed to carry her. The doctor had cautioned him not to carry heavy stuff.

Muchen lowered his head to look at her. His footsteps were firm, and his face was calm as he said, "You said you wanted to be closer to me."

"…" Ziyue did not know how to answer him.

At last, Ziyue had no choice but to let him carry her into the bedroom.

When they arrived at the bedroom, Ziyue was in a hurry to check Muchen's wound.

However, Muchen quickly grabbed her hand to stop her. He had a strange expression as he asked Ziyue, "What?"

Ziyue initially did not feel awkward lifting his shirt up. But after he gave her that look, she felt like a pervert. Her actions stopped midway.

"I want to rest. Don't touch me." Muchen spoke solemnly. Then, he pulled his blanket over himself and closed his eyes.

Ziyue stood by the side of the bed, stunned. She was at a loss for words.

Muchen was now… Unpredictable.

…

Muchen slept soundly until the next morning.

Ziyue went out while Muchen was sleeping. She ordered the maids to bring Shichu some water and food.

She did not see him herself.

Because she did not know how to face Shichu now.

Moreover, Muchen was acting weirdly. If he knew that she had gone to see Shichu, he might do something crazy to him again.

Ziyue returned to the bedroom after she ordered the maids to send food and water to Shichu.

She picked up a book and started to read on the sofa while she waited for Muchen to wake up.

When Muchen finally woke up, he saw Ziyue lying on the sofa.
