Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 492

Chapter 492

However, Muchen had no plans to explain to her. He merely frowned before saying, "You don't have to worry about that, and just do what I told you, okay?"

Though he asked her a question, his tone was unquestionable.

Hence, she replied impatiently, "Got it."

He noticed that she was upset, but she interrupted when he was about to ask, "I'll just do whatever you instruct, happy? You have always been like this anyway. No matter what you have in mind, you will never discuss anything with me. I just have to follow your instructions."

She had quite some pent-up anger toward him, but he merely looked at her quietly with no intention of explaining himself.

"Go ahead and be busy with your stuff. You don't have to care about us." With that, Ziyue took a seat after asking the waiter for a glass of juice. As she drank it nonchalantly, she observed Muchen from the corner of her eye.

He merely stared at her for a few seconds after she sat down. Then, someone went to speak to him, and he was soon surrounded by a crowd.

She clenched her fingers around her glass subconsciously. He really is…

"Why are you here alone? Where's Muchen?" Xia asked, looking around.

Ziyue replied coolly, "He's so busy that he doesn't even have time for me."

Xia froze for a moment before sitting down and asking quietly, "Did you guys fight?"

Ziyue shook her head. "No." It's true. We didn't have a fight. I just don't understand him anymore. He doesn't even care about the most basic elements in a relationship anymore – respect and communication.

…

On the other hand, Enxue started panicking after walking out of the room.

Though she had a stifling feeling in her chest, she could still withstand it as she walked along the corridor.

What should I do? If Shichu asks me about keeping Zixi for two years, what should I say? Should I tell him about what my brother did with the mafia? Will he look down on me if I tell him that?

After all, Shichu came from a rather dignified family.

Enxue began to regret how she provoked Ziyue just now.

Nevertheless, she could not take it when she saw how close Ziyue and Shichu were just now.

Though they were not a couple, their closeness made her feel she couldn't join their circle no matter how hard she tried, and she was never a match for Ziyue.

Such thoughts made her so miserable that she could not help saying those words back then.

She walked to a resting area and found a spot. As she was too engrossed in her thoughts, she didn't notice someone sitting opposite her.

Finally, when she lifted her head, she realized it was Shichu.

"D-Dr. Lu," she stammered in surprise.

Shichu smiled at her gently. "I thought I'd had to sit here much longer before you noticed me."

"I'm sorry, I…" She started speaking, but she had no idea what to say.

Shichu interjected at a convenient time.

"Are you alright? Do you have any discomfort?" he asked concernedly.

Enxue lit up upon hearing that. "I'm fine."

Then, he said something that shocked her greatly.

"Let's go back to the hall."

Why didn't he ask me about Zixi? she wondered.

"If you don't go with me, I won't have a dance partner tonight." He smiled at her gently when he saw her surprised expression.

Still shocked, she replied, "Of course. Let's go back now."

As though worried that he might regret his decision, she quickly stood up, making him smile as he led the way back to the hall.

When he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, she felt like she was about to die from a heart attack.

He didn't pursue the matter further and even asked her to be his partner. On top of that, he even placed his arms around her shoulders.

This was the first time she got so close to him physically.

Shichu was a lot taller than Enxue, yet he deliberately slowed down to match her pace. When he slightly lowered his eyes and saw the shy expression on her face, he merely arched his eyebrows indifferently.

…

When Yuchuan arrived, Ziyue was taking a picture of Xia and Zixi.

He was sitting in his stroller while Xia was crouching beside him, teaching him how to show the peace finger sign.

Since he was still young, he was not good at coordinating his fingers, so it was poorly done. However, he would raise his hands whenever Ziyue lifted her phone to take a picture.

After taking a few pictures, she chuckled when she looked back at them before passing the phone to him to show him the pictures.

"Who is this?" she asked.

"It's…" He hesitated before continuing, "It's Zixi."

Though his voice cracked, she understood him.

Just when she was about to reply, the hall suddenly went silent.

She looked around and saw the crowd fixated their gazes on the main entrance, and they were softly exchanging opinions.

She couldn't help but listen to them and heard some murmurs regarding 'the Earl who was personally knighted by the Queen of Country J.'

It was obvious that the said person was none other than Yuchuan, the Earl of Augsburg knighted by the Queen of Country J herself.

He has finally arrived.

Muchen passed through the crowd and arrived in front of Ziyue. "Come here."

She shot him a glance before pushing Zixi's stroller toward the entrance.

Meanwhile, the people in the hall were also waiting to see Yuchuan.

It was true he was here, but he merely showed up for a few minutes before leaving for the private room.

Muchen escorted them to the room himself before returning to the hall.

Before leaving, Ziyue asked, "How long… do we have to spend time with Grandpa here?"

Noticing how she addressed Yuchuan, Muchen lit up.

"Not long. I'll be back soon." With that, he kissed her on the lips, ignoring the presence of his bodyguards.

Ziyue was not as thick-skinned as him, and she quickly pushed him away, but she could not beat his strength.

Only after giving her a deep kiss did he leave.

Before that, she couldn't help pulling him back to ask, "What on earth are you planning?"

He froze. Without giving him time to think, she demanded, "After steering us away, what are you planning to do?"
