Chapter 614 My Wife’s Sole Responsibility

With head bowed, Xiyi remained silent for a long while before speaking. "She's fine now."

Never had he imagined the meek little girl who suffered through so much would grow into such a beautiful and elegant young woman. Fate certainly did not have her back. But she seized it anyway to build a path for herself. An ascended path that led to her glory.

Ziyue parted her lips slightly to speak but stopped herself before she could.

Who said Xiyi was ignorant about the ways of the world? He was indifferent at best. But he knew exactly what Ke was thinking. And judging by his tone, she could tell he didn't hate Ke. Being a woman that Xiyi doesn't hate... She must've held a special place in his heart. The fact alone was enough to render Ziyue speechless.

"I'll head back first. I have a trip to pack for, and there are still things that need to be taken off." Xiyi stood up and inclined his head. His expression was impassive as usual, and he moved with a gait that was polished but not conceited. Just like the first time they met.

Ziyue rose to her feet as she watched Xiyi's figure disappear through the exit of the coffee shop. Her mind reeled back to what Xiyi had said about Muchen. Is his situation really not as bad as they thought? Something about it felt off, but she couldn't place it past Xiyi's cool demeanor.

Though, she would rather believe him.

Sure enough, Ziyue returned to LK Group to find that Muchen was not in his office. She rushed to his secretary's office.

"Reception room? To meet who?" If she remembered correctly, Muchen didn't have any appointments scheduled for the day.

Wary glances were exchanged across the room, but no one dared to speak. Finally, a man started slowly. His voice was low and cautious. "Miss Bessalyn."

Miss Bessalyn... Had no one else brought up the name, it would've been permanently erased from Ziyue's memory. Willingly.

A brief look of disdain flashed across Ziyue's face. That woman's interest in Muchen was plain to see. But God forbid she'd ever let them end up together.

"Did she come alone?" Ziyue's tone was as stiff as the rest of her body.

"She brought an assistant," the man replied. "We were just about to send these coffees over."

"Let me handle that." She picked up the tray of cups from one of the secretaries and waved at them dismissively. "Feel free to go back to whatever you were doing."

With a tray in one hand and knuckles hovering over the door to the reception room, Ziyue was ready to knock like the courteous woman she was. However, it quickly flew out the window as soon as a woman's laugh sounded from behind the door. And she barged in without a moment's hesitation.

Her sudden appearance seemed to have startled Bessalyn because she gaped at Ziyue in shock. Meanwhile, Muchen only spared her a light glance before looking away.

What they were talking about before she came in, Ziyue didn't know. But Bessalyn's shocked expression soon turned into a puzzled frown, which Ziyue casually ignored.

"Miss Bessalyn, I have brought you coffee." Ziyue gently placed the two cups of coffee before them.

"Mrs. Qin, long time no see." Bessalyn nodded, taking a small sip from the cup. "The coffee is good, thank you."

"Of course. We serve the best quality of coffee beans only to our distinguished guests." Ziyue offered a pursed smile and sat comfortably next to Muchen, to which he responded by slinging his arm around the back of the couch behind her, looking more relaxed.

"When I came earlier, I saw you and a man chatting in the car. I was afraid I might intrude, so I didn't say hello. My apologies for that." Bessalyn returned Ziyue's smile with a sickly sweet one of her own.

So sweet that it made her want to barf. More importantly, Bessalyn saw that?!

Ziyue's face stiffened as she subconsciously turned to look at Muchen. Her little rendezvous with Xiyi wasn't anything of a secret, but she wasn't sure how Muchen would react.

Until she felt a strong, firm squeeze on her thigh.

Lightly clearing her throat, she started, "Oh, what a timely coincidence! I was just asking the doctor about my situation. Who would've thought you'd bump into me then?" She let out a sheepish laugh that was meant more for the man beside her.

"You're right." Bessalyn pursed her lips and shifted her gaze to Muchen, only to find that he was staring directly at Ziyue.

Because of the couple's height difference and the angle of his downcast eyes, Bessalyn couldn't gauge his emotions, but it was enough to indicate the intensity of them all.
