Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 502

Chapter 502

Muchen walked into Zixi's room to see the toddler sitting on the floor with his legs crossed. He was holding a toy car in his hand while mumbling some inaudible words with a serious look. Muchen was amused by the sight.

Zixi was not wearing slippers. Fortunately, the room was covered with wood tiles, so he wouldn't feel cold even though he was sitting on the floor.

"Alright. Come with Daddy to wash up." After briefly staring at Zixi from the door, Muchen walked in and crouched in front of him.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of his father, Zixi was startled for a moment before he nodded and hummed in response.

Thereafter, he swiftly got up from the floor. Muchen held his hand and led him into the washroom.

After helping Zixi wash up and change into a new set of clothes, Muchen asked the servant to look after the boy while he showered in Zixi's room.

…

Later, Ziyue woke up to find Muchen gone. She checked the time – it wasn't too late yet.

Today was Monday, so she was supposed to go to work. If I continue being this idle, Feng Group will be ruined. It's all Muchen's fault. He always devours me like a hungry wolf and tires me out as he pleases every time after we haven't had sex for some time. After having his way with me, he's the one who is satisfied while my body aches.

Ziyue got out of bed slowly and only felt more spirited after she showered and changed.

Just then, she suddenly recalled that Zixi had slept in the nursery alone last night. Hence, she quickly strode to his room, feeling guilty that she had forgotten about the matter.

When she discovered no one was in the nursery, she thought Zixi had woken up earlier when Muchen woke up, so the two should be together.

She hurriedly went downstairs, but the living room was empty. As such, she thought they might be eating in the dining room and walked there.

As soon as she arrived at the dining room entrance, Muchen's cold voice came forth. "How could you make such a stupid mistake? Pack up and leave now."

Ziyue quickly walked in upon hearing the commotion. "What happened?"

Muchen's tone softened once he saw Ziyue. "Hey, good morning."

"Good morning." Ziyue hummed and gazed at Zixi, sitting across from Muchen.

The little boy was sitting properly in his seat like a little gentleman. His eyes glistened at the sight of Ziyue. "Mommy!" He squealed.

"Good morning, darling." Ziyue walked to his side and kissed his cheek.

Then, she noticed the breakfast served to Muchen and Zixi looked untouched.

"It seems like I got here on time. You guys have just started having breakfast."

However, the servant didn't serve her breakfast, which perplexed her. "What would you like to have? I'll make it for you." Muchen asked.

"Nothing special in mind. I can have the same as you guys." Ziyue shook her head.

At that moment, Zixi blurted all of a sudden, "It's too salty. Daddy said that we shouldn't eat it…"

After hearing Zixi's comment, Ziyue remembered Muchen's reproach just now and could roughly guess what had happened.

"Is it?" She glanced at Muchen and took a sip of porridge from Zixi's bowl.

The servant in their house was rather new, but she was a dedicated employee and hadn't made any major mistakes. Although she occasionally made minor mistakes, as the mistress of the house, Ziyue would let it go.

The sip of porridge was extremely salty, as if it was cooked in a pot of salt water. Ziyue stood up and went into the kitchen immediately to spit it into the basin.

Muchen followed her and passed her a glass of water. "That's why I asked you what you want for breakfast." His tone was tinged with rebuke.

Ziyue took a sip of water from the glass to recover her taste bud. "Are you chasing her away because of this?" She asked.

Muchen did not answer.

Just then, a young-looking servant trotted into the kitchen with red-rimmed eyes.

The moment she stepped into the kitchen, she bowed to Ziyue and implored, "I'm sorry, Madam. I didn't do it on purpose. M-My mother is sick, so I went to look after her in the hospital throughout the night after I got off from work yesterday. I spaced out while cooking the porridge this morning, so I accidentally added too much salt. Please don't kick me out…"

Ziyue cooed, "Straighten up."

The servant straightened her body and cast a careful glance at Ziyue. When she sensed that Muchen, too, turned to stare at her, she quickly lowered her head as if she had seen a ghost.

Ziyue sighed. All the servants in this house are afraid of Muchen.

"I've heard of what happened. Since your mother is sick and needs someone to take care of her, take a few days off to look after her."

Ziyue could tell from the servant's dark circles that the latter had not been sleeping well. Besides, she remembered this servant because Zixi was rather fond of her.

The servant lifted her head in surprise and babbled, "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"

After the servant left, Ziyue spun to face Muchen, who wore a solemn expression.

"It's just a small matter. Don't be so mad. Besides, she had a reason." Ziyue lifted her head and tried to persuade Muchen.

However, Muchen didn't seem to be convinced. He stared at Ziyue with a stern look and blurted, "Why should I keep a good-for-nothing? She couldn't even cook porridge properly. It's useless to keep someone like that."

"She explained herself. Her mother is sick in the hospital…"

Muchen interrupted Ziyue and spat ruthlessly, "That's none of my business. It's her mother, not mine."

Ziyue was shocked for a moment and replied a moment later, "Can't you be more sympathetic?"

"It's not worth my sympathy." With that, Muchen walked out of the kitchen.

Suddenly, Ziyue recalled something and went after Muchen. "Did you fire the servant who accidentally scalded Zixi last time?" She asked.

"Of course. Otherwise, did you expect me to let her stay for Christmas?" Hostility flashed through Muchen's eyes. Ziyue should know that he was being merciful to only fire the servant.

Although Ziyue was upset with the careless servant at that time, she knew it was possible to accidentally hurt a child. Even she would make such mistakes.

The servants came from difficult backgrounds, so Ziyue thought it was unreasonable to fire them due to small issues like these.
