Marry Me Quick

The next morning, Ziyue led Zixi downstairs and saw Jingshu.

Why is Jingshu here so early?

Noticing that Jingshu was deep in conversation with Ke, Ziyue furrowed and continued down the stairs.

When Jingshu saw Ziyue coming down, he was about to say something to her, but she shook her head, gesturing for him to hold off.

Whatever had brought him to her house at such an early hour, it couldn't be good news.

Upon seeing Jingshu, Zixi quickly ran over and called, "Uncle Jingshu!"

Jingshu's serious expression instantly beamed with a grin, "Look who's up so early!"

Zixi replied with earnestness, "I have to go to school. You should wake up early too."

"Alright, let's have breakfast first," Ziyue suggested, leading Zixi to the dining room.

Turning back, she faced Ke and Jingshu, "What's the matter?"

With a serious demeanor, Jingshu explained, "There's news about Muchen. Someone claimed to have seen him in Yunzhou City."

Ziyue's heart skipped a beat, and then confusion set in.

Muchen was always cautious. If he didn't want to be seen, Ziyue wouldn't have been able to catch a glimpse of him at the coffee shop that day.

Furthermore, she had conducted an extensive search in Yunzhou City, but there were no leads. It puzzled Ziyue that someone was now claiming to have seen him.

Ziyue pondered, wondering if someone had spotted Muchen because he had come to see her the day before.

She lowered her gaze, masking her emotions, and asked calmly, "Who saw him? And where?"

Jingshu responded promptly, "I'm not sure either. My brother informed me."

"Bai Yunan?" Ziyue was startled at the name.
