Marry Me Quick

Chapter 668 You Have Better Tell the Truth

Ziyue looked at Muchen's broad shoulders dumbly. She tried to say something but realized her throat was parched.

Instead, she stepped forward and hugged him from behind.

Muchen stiffened and stood still.

After a while, he gathered his thoughts and patted Ziyue's hand before smiling, "Why? Do you not want to return to the banquet? In that case, let's proceed with what we were doing before."

Muchen's words dispelled the last bit of sadness in her heart. She pulled her hand away as if flinching from an electric shock and scoffed, "No way!"

Muchen turned around. The corner of his eyes crinkled with good humor as he teased, "Why aren't you leaving then?"

Ziyue looked at him and blinked. While he was distracted, she stood on tiptoes and kissed his cheek before grabbing her bag and walking away.

…

Xia caught Ziyue as soon as she entered the banquet hall. She had been waiting by the door for Ziyue to enter.

She held Ziyue's arm and led her to sit down before whispering, "Hehe, you were away for a long time and even changed your clothes. What were you doing with Mr. Qin?"

Ziyue adjusted her skirt and looked elsewhere, avoiding Xia's gaze.

"What could we have done?"

Xia grinned and said, "How would I know what you two have done?"

"I have scores to settle with you. How could you team up with him to trick me? Is it funny to you?" Ziyue arched her eyebrows as she looked at Xia, questioning her sternly.

Xia rubbed her nose and replied, "Oh, Mr. Qin ordered me to do it. How could I dare to refuse?"

Muchen's gaze and tone were so intimidating that one could not help but shudder with fear. She had no choice and found herself complying with his orders without thinking.
