Marry Me Quick

Chapter 706

Chapter 706 It Was Him

Ziyue was tossed around three to four times. When they stopped, it was already two in the middle of the night.

Muchen carried her to the shower again. She was so exhausted she could barely keep her eyes open when she was back in bed. As she was about to sleep, she felt a slight shiver due to the cold air.

She slowly opened her eyes and couldn't feel Muchen's warmth under the blanket. Hence, she held up her body and tried to find Muchen.

Her gaze followed where the source of the cold air was. She then realized the windows were opened, and a dark silhouette outside cast a shadow on the ground beneath. The pitch-darkness that belonged to the night was angled into the room. A single scarlet flame burned within the darkness.

It had started raining without her realizing it.

Her drowsiness no longer clouded her mind. She was wide awake now.

When she was about to speak, the person must have noticed she had woken up as the flame disappeared.

He closed the windows and walked towards her.

When he sat beside her, he turned on the lamplight. The soft, delicate rays shone onto his face, making his profound, dark eyebrows especially clear to her. He reached out and moved away the strand of hair on her forehead, and with a warm and tender voice, he asked, "Why are you awake?"

He made sure she had fallen asleep deeply before he went to the window to smoke a cigarette.

Ziyue sat up and looked at his eyes. "What are you worried about?"

He didn't have the habit of smoking after sharing intimacy, and he barely smoked after she advised him to quit.

Why did he have to smoke the night they finally met?

Muchen tidied the ends of the blanket before he replied, "It's just a craving I couldn't resist."

He was lying.

He had a strong sense of determination and wouldn't waver under any circumstances. The person who knew him best was Ziyue, after all.

"Alright, let's go to sleep." He had been standing by the window for quite a long time, so his hands were cold. After they warmed up, he went into bed and wrapped her in his arms, preparing to fall asleep.


Ziyue didn't pry on him anymore and cuddled warmly in his embrace as she thought about what Bessalyn told her.

She said someone with the surname Lu brought Muchen to her place.

She was on the fence about whether to ask him about it. Eventually, she decided to be frank with him and asked, "Who saved you?"

Her voice was soft, but it became exceptionally crisp in the dark, quiet room.

The room was silent for a long moment, but Muchen still hadn't replied to her.

Ziyue naturally wouldn't believe he had fallen asleep.

She squirmed within his embrace and suddenly felt the hands on her waist tighten. The next moment, she heard Muchen's clear voice reverberate in the dark.

"It was him."

He didn't specify who 'he' was, but both knew who Muchen was referring to.

Muchen knew that Bessalyn had gone to find Ziyue.

He didn't plan to hide the truth from her. Hence, he openly admitted that Shichu saved him now that she had already figured it out herself.

A frown covered his forehead after he felt a slight tremble from her, but Ziyue couldn't see it.

Since Shichu had already been mentioned, Ziyue continued to ask, "He had called me before when you went on the plane. He wasn't on the plane with you, so how did he save you?"

Muchen's attention strayed away from her intended question as he probed, "You've been in contact with him frequently?"

"No…" Ziyue noticed the change in his tone. She wriggled her body to get a glimpse of his face.

Out of nowhere, she felt the hand on her waist had slowly made its way into her pajamas. She immediately reached out her hands to stop his hands from moving further. "What are you doing?" she murmured.

"You appear to be full of energy and not tired at all. This is just right. He's also feeling quite energetic." Muchen thrust his hips forward to let Ziyue feel 'his' energy.

Ziyue quickly pushed him away from her. "I'm tired. Stop playing around."

"If you're tired, go to sleep." Muchen hugged her tighter without moving anymore.

Ziyue didn't dare to move after he frightened her. As she closed her eyes, she fell asleep within seconds.

…

Although she slept late the night before, she still woke up early due to her biological clock.

When she woke up, Muchen was still fast asleep.

His face looked paler, as if he was falling sick. And his chin had newly grown stubble, but it didn't make him look sloppy.

After a night's sleep, his hair was disheveled. Her heart softened at his defenseless appearance.

Ziyue kissed him on his full and rosy lips before getting out of bed and heading to the shower.

She wanted to accompany him longer, but Zixi had to attend school today.

Today was the final day of school. Zixi would be having his winter break from kindergarten after this.
