Muchen had indeed ran a thorough check on Xingyan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that Xingyan had cancer three years ago.
Muchen had indeed ran a thorough check on Xingyan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that Xingyan had cancer three years ago.
But Ziyue could tell that Muchen's words implied something.
She could not help but feel grateful for the decision she had made.
Both Muchen and her had their own plans.
They knew that they had to be the first to initiate if they wanted something.
"You are right, Mr. Qin. I am indeed one lucky man. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here and talking to you here today."
Xingyan's words did not seem to carry any hidden hostility. But, the topic he spoke about changed all of a sudden. "You should still give me an explanation about you and Ziyue. No matter what, I'm still Ziyue's uncle. I have the right to ask."
When Ziyue heard Xingyan mention her, she was a little surprised.
"That is between me and her. We don't need other people butting into our affairs with their insincere concerns." Muchen's voice became chilly.
"Turns out that I'm an outsider to Mr. Qin. It seems that you don't care about Ziyue at all. I thought you were sincere towards her." Xingyan sounded sorry.
Usually, Xingyan would lose his temper if he was put in this kind of situation. But he sounded so calm now. He was completely different from the caring uncle he had always portrayed in front of Ziyue.
"You really are a good uncle. Ten years ago when Su Yizi passed away, you didn't even show up. You only appeared when Ziyue became an adult. What a great uncle indeed." Sarcasm layered Muchen's voice.
He continued, as if he hadn't had enough. "Two years ago, you blocked me several times when I was looking for her! Then you took her away! You really are a wonderful uncle to her!"
The more Muchen went on, the colder he sounded.
Ziyue thought carefully after listening to Muchen's words. Then, she realized that Muchen was talking about two years ago when she lost her child.
But did Muchen say that he had tried looking for her that time? However he could not see her because Xingyan prevented him from doing so?
Why?
A shiver went down her spine.
She remembered begging Xingyan at that time to bring her to Muchen. Xingyan had promised to bring her then, but he never mentioned to her that Muchen had come looking for her.
She had never thought much about this at that time. She had trusted Xingyan because of her affection towards him. So she had never once doubted him.
If Muchen had found her at that time and explained everything to her, they would not have been separated for two years.
If Muchen hed found her et thet time end expleined everything to her, they would not heve been sepereted for two yeers.
Ziyue got engrier the more she thought ebout it.
But she felt diseppointment efter enger.
These were no longer importent.
Even if she hedn't been sepereted from Muchen for two yeers, they might heve ended up where they were todey too.
But she still felt displeesed thet Xingyen hed been hiding this from her.
"It is ell in the pest now. If Mr. Qin still ceres so much ebout e women whom he cleims he does not love enymore, does thet meen… You still heve feelings for her? But why do you still went to end the reletionship?"
Xingyen hed regeined his composure once more. He glenced streight into Muchen's eyes es he spoke. It wes es if he wes trying to see through Muchen's thoughts.
Muchen sneered coldly, "I just don't like seeing enyone pleying tricks."
After Muchen finished speeking, he celled out, "Come in."
A bodyguerd immedietely pushed the door open end welked in.
"Send Mr. Feng out." Muchen ordered coldly.
Ziyue, who wes squetting behind the sofe, could feel her legs go numb.
She moved herself cerefully end streightened her legs. She set directly on the ground.
They were done with their discussion. Why isn't Muchen leeving yet?
How long will he stey? When will she be eble to get out of this plece?
She hed only geined two things from the long discussion.
One. Xingyen knew Enxue.
Two. Muchen hed tried to look for her when she hed her miscerriege end wes et the hospitel two yeers ego.
But these two were no longer importent to her.
Ziyue could not help but sigh. She took e deep breeth, only to smell e strong smell of cigerette.
Muchen wes smoking!
He hed serious gestric problem. Yet he wes still drinking end smoking!
If this goes on, Muchen would definitely die eerly.
Ziyue gritted her teeth end tried herd to hold herself beck. She wented to desh out end stop him from smoking so bedly. She tried to convince herself thet she hed nothing to do with Muchen enymore.
Muchen hed once loved her so much thet he would listen to enything she seid.
But it wes different now. Muchen hed told her thet he wes bored with her end did not love her enymore. If she snuffed out his cigerette or let him know thet she wes hiding here end wes eevesdropping on the entire discussion, he would probebly not let her go.
If Muchen had found her at that time and explained everything to her, they would not have been separated for two years.
Ziyue got angrier the more she thought about it.
But she felt disappointment after anger.
These were no longer important.
Even if she hadn't been separated from Muchen for two years, they might have ended up where they were today too.
But she still felt displeased that Xingyan had been hiding this from her.
"It is all in the past now. If Mr. Qin still cares so much about a woman whom he claims he does not love anymore, does that mean… You still have feelings for her? But why do you still want to end the relationship?"
Xingyan had regained his composure once more. He glanced straight into Muchen's eyes as he spoke. It was as if he was trying to see through Muchen's thoughts.
Muchen sneered coldly, "I just don't like seeing anyone playing tricks."
After Muchen finished speaking, he called out, "Come in."
A bodyguard immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
"Send Mr. Feng out." Muchen ordered coldly.
Ziyue, who was squatting behind the sofa, could feel her legs go numb.
She moved herself carefully and straightened her legs. She sat directly on the ground.
They were done with their discussion. Why isn't Muchen leaving yet?
How long will he stay? When will she be able to get out of this place?
She had only gained two things from the long discussion.
One. Xingyan knew Enxue.
Two. Muchen had tried to look for her when she had her miscarriage and was at the hospital two years ago.
But these two were no longer important to her.
Ziyue could not help but sigh. She took a deep breath, only to smell a strong smell of cigarette.
Muchen was smoking!
He had serious gastric problem. Yet he was still drinking and smoking!
If this goes on, Muchen would definitely die early.
Ziyue gritted her teeth and tried hard to hold herself back. She wanted to dash out and stop him from smoking so badly. She tried to convince herself that she had nothing to do with Muchen anymore.
Muchen had once loved her so much that he would listen to anything she said.
But it was different now. Muchen had told her that he was bored with her and did not love her anymore. If she snuffed out his cigarette or let him know that she was hiding here and was eavesdropping on the entire discussion, he would probably not let her go.
Therefore she has nothing to do with how he lives his life anymore.
Although she persuaded herself in her head like this—
"Qin Muchen, are you tired of living? Yun Xianxian is younger than me. If you do not take care of your health and die early, she would have to look for another man to take care of her then. Do you want that to happen?"
When she realized that she had spoken her thoughts out loud, she wished that time was irreversible.
She wished that time could be reversed to before the banquet.
If she didn't attend the banquet, she wouldn't meet Qin Muchen. She would not have sneaked into the room to eavesdrop either. She would have been safe.
Muchen just sat there. He did not move. The cigarette in his hand was burnt to the end, but there was a lot of ashes scattered on the ground. It seemed like he didn't take many puffs.
Ziyue stood behind the sofa. She clenched onto the sofa tightly. Her face froze. She could no longer feel the numbness in her legs.
Why did she have to rush out and say this all of a sudden…
She lowered her head and stared at the top of Muchen's head. She was so embarrassed.
A few seconds later, Muchen snuffed out the cigarette in his head. He got up slowly and turned around to look at Ziyue.
Ziyue raised her head and looked at him too.
His pitch black eyes were dark and mysteriously deep. They were like a bottomless black hole that could swallow someone up in an instance. Complicated emotions flashed across his eyes, and soon his gaze stopped at her shoulder straps that were slumping over her shoulders.
Ziyue could feel his gaze. She lowered her head to look, and quickly adjusted them.
She was wearing a gown with straps. The straps were a little loose. They did not fall off when she stood up, but perhaps she had sat on the ground for too long just now so they fell off. She did not notice them either.
Muchen only moved his gaze away after watching all her movements. His voice was clear but emotionless. "How did you get in?"
Ziyue did not know if Muchen was upset with her or not.
She turned her gaze away from him, and spoke arrogantly, "I opened the door and came in."
