Marry Me Quick

Chapter 707 Hide It Perfectly When He Relapsed

President… Su?

Ziyue thought that this was his way of throwing a tantrum from being left behind.

She didn't want to wake him up from his sleep, but did he have to act this way?

"Are you out of bed?" she asked as she rubbed her forehead.

"Yes, I got used and tormented by a woman until three in the morning, but realized I was the only one in bed by the time I woke up." Muchen whined.

Ziyue was rendered speechless.

In the villa, Muchen sat at the dining table for breakfast.

He had never had such a peaceful and sound sleep in a long while.

Returning to his home, and being in a familiar environment with Ziyue, helped him feel comfortable and at ease.

Hence, he didn't even notice when Ziyue had woken up.

"Speak the truth. Who was the one being tormented last night?"

Suddenly, the realization dawned on her. She was still in the meeting room.

After the meeting, she didn't leave immediately. When she glanced around the meeting room and confirmed she was the only one there, she finally let out a big, relieving sigh.

Within a split second, Qin Muchen moaned, "You tormented me."

He's shameless.

Ziyue didn't bother to continue the banter with him. After all, she wouldn't be able to win the argument.

She got up and left the meeting room to return to her office.

"Have you had your breakfast?"

Muchen put his playfulness aside and spoke honestly, "Soon."

"Then I won't bother you anymore. Hurry up and have your breakfast." Ziyue already reached the entrance of her office. She was ready to end the call.

"Okay."

She ended the call after she heard his answer.

…

The morning went by fleetingly.

In the afternoon, Ziyue wanted to call Muchen out for lunch, but she soon dropped that thought, knowing he was stuck in an unfavorable situation and couldn't appear in public.

She went out with Ke to have lunch at a restaurant.

Ziyue went to the washroom after they had finally placed their orders.

As she washed her hands, her eyes caught a glimpse of a mysteriously dressed woman walking into the washroom. Her outfit alone drew suspicion about her identity.

Ziyue's eyebrows were knitted into a tight knot. She was kept on her toes, wary of what might happen.

The woman took off her mask swiftly.

Ocean-blue eyes with profoundly attractive facial features greeted her back in the mirror.

"Bessalyn?" Ziyue was relieved when she saw it was Bessalyn, but her eyes were two question marks as she gave her another look-over. "Why did you dress this way?"

Bessalyn resentfully stared at her. "Do you think I wanted to?"

She had to because of Muchen's threat. She had never had to put up with such contempt.

But she had no arsenal of weapons to win against Muchen. Thus, her only way out was to admit defeat.

When she saw Ziyue observing her puzzledly, she flinched as she was reminded of Muchen's words. She clenched her teeth and asked, "What is your relationship with the person who saved Muchen? The one with the surname Lu."

Ziyue drew a blank stare as she didn't understand why she would suddenly mention Shichu. "Why do you ask? Do you know him personally?"

She was not very close with Bessalyn, so it was unusual for her to be asked such a personal question.

Who knew what motives she had?

She batted her eyelids as she experienced a sudden surge of emotion but quickly kept her composure. "I met him when I went out for breakfast this morning," she answered ruefully.

Ziyue lifted her head to look at her, feeling surprised. "You saw him in Yunzhou City?"

She couldn't decipher what Bessalyn's expression meant. Nothing in Bessalyn's words and facial expression revealed her feelings or thoughts.

She furrowed her brows with a complicated expression as she was reminded of the man she had seen this morning. "He looked like he wasn't doing quite well. However, if you treat him as your friend or want to thank him for saving Muchen, you can find him. That's all I can say. I have a flight to Country J this afternoon."

Once she relayed her message to Ziyue, Bessalyn strode towards the exit.

Ziyue was taken aback by the sudden revelation. Before long, she ran after Bessalyn.

She caught her arms and, with a breathless voice, asked, "Where did you see him?"

Bessalyn swung her arms away as though she was afraid to be touched by her.

"There's no point telling you. He wouldn't be there anymore. I'm sure you will if you're determined to find him."

Ziyue stayed silent as she agreed with what Bessalyn said. If Shichu were really in Yunzhou City, she would find him if she wanted.

She couldn't find Muchen last time because he was too cautious.

Shichu was also prudent but wasn't as unpredictable as Muchen. Although it would take some time, she was confident she could find him.
