Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504

The area code showed that the number was from Yunzhou City.

Ziyue didn't like picking up calls from unknown numbers, but she was afraid that it was urgent, so she couldn't help but answer the call.

She pressed the button to accept the call and placed the phone to her ear. She said politely and calmly, "Hello, this is Ziyue."

"Miss Su." The voice on the phone was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Ziyue frowned a little. She was silent as she thought about it for a moment, but she still couldn't place the voice.

She didn't recognize who it was, so she could only ask, "Who is this?"

"This is Qin Zheng. The Earl was passing by Yanyue Media and said he wants to go in and take a look." Zheng left it at that and didn't say anything else.

"I'll come down right away."

Zheng said what he did so that she would go down and meet Yuchuan of her own accord.

Zheng didn't say anything else. The two of them said their goodbyes on the phone in a pretentious manner.

Ziyue hung up, and she seemed to be lost in thought.

She definitely didn't believe Yuchuan just happened to be passing by. He must have come over on purpose. She didn't know what he was thinking.

In any case... it wasn't good news.

Ziyue couldn't help but turn to look at Zixi. She had to bring him with her if she was going down to meet Yuchuan.

She said hesitantly, "Zixi, Great Grandpa is here."

"Where?" Zixi raised his head in bewilderment.

"He's downstairs. We're going to meet him now." Ziyue stroked his head as her eyes were filled with tender affection.

Zixi pursed the corner of his lips unconsciously. He seemed as though he was slightly resistant to it, but he was obedient and didn't say anything.

Ziyue sighed gently before leading Zixi out of the office.

…

When she was at the company's entrance with Zixi, she saw Yuchuan's SUV parked at the main entrance. It was very conspicuous.

Ziyue stopped for a moment before walking over with Zixi.

As they walked over, the passenger's side door opened.

The person who got out of the car was Zheng.

She didn't see Zheng during Zixi's birthday party. When she thought about it, Yuchuan must have instructed him to do something else, which might be why he wasn't by Yuchuan's side.

Zheng nodded slightly at Ziyue. "Miss Su."

He greeted her in a polite yet distant manner. She was clearly married to Muchen, and they even had a child. Calling her as such was a way of scorning her silently.

But Ziyue didn't care about that.

Zheng glanced at her before directing his gaze at Zixi, whose hand she was holding. There was finally a sliver of a peculiar expression in his usually emotionless eyes.

It was like exasperation and a look of surprise.

No matter the emotion, it was beyond Ziyue to enquire. She didn't have the time to do so either.

Ziyue knew that there was a strict class difference amongst the noble families in Country J.

Take Zheng, for example. Although it looked like he was close to Yuchuan, to Yuchuan, Zheng was only a servant.

Yuchuan had grown up in Country J since he was young. He grew up influenced by such an ideology.

To Yuchuan, Ziyue was just a lowly and inferior person. That was why he didn't like Zixi, his great-grandson.

Ziyue nodded at Zheng and looked at the car door. She saw Yuchuan sitting inside with his eyes closed. She called out, "Grandpa."

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Yuchuan only came to his senses after a long time. He turned and looked at Ziyue. His thick brows were wrinkled, and there was a sharpness in his voice. "You're here."

"Grandpa, do you want to come into the company and take a look?" Ziyue wasn't affected by his sharpness at all. Her expression was calm, and her voice serene.

Hearing it, Yuchuan's expression suddenly became dark.

"What tone are you taking with me? Are you unhappy about it?"

"You've misunderstood, Grandpa. I'm not unhappy about it at all."

Ziyue saw that Yuchuan's pupils had shrunk slightly. She paused before continuing, "You passed by my company, Grandpa, and you wanted to come and visit me and Zixi, which was why you called me. I'm thrilled and not one bit reluctant."

She looked down at Zixi after she spoke. She was holding his hand as he stood obediently by her side.

It was July, and they were in intense heat as they stood outdoors without air conditioning. The weather was sweltering, and there were drops of perspiration on Zixi's forehead, but there wasn't any unusual expression on his face.

Feeling that Ziyue was looking at him. Zixi mumbled softly, "Great Grandpa."

Hearing Zixi's voice, Yuchuan directed his gaze to the figure beside Ziyue.

Zixi was already small. As he stood beside Ziyue while holding her hand, she hid most of him so Yuchuan hadn't noticed Zixi.

"Why did you bring such a young child to the company? Are there no servants at home?" Yuchuan's expression darkened. It was evident that he was getting angry.

Ziyue didn't want to get into it with Yuchuan, but she couldn't bear how uncomfortable her son was feeling.

It was such a hot day. Both of them had been standing by the car for more than ten minutes. She had started to perspire and feel hot, but Zixi hadn't said a single word.

Children had such keen senses.

Zixi might have been able to feel Yuchuan's dislike toward him, along with the peculiar air between Ziyue and Yuchuan, so he hadn't had the nerve to say anything.

Ziyue reached her hand out to wipe the drops of sweat on Zixi's forehead and ignored what Yuchuan had said. She said, "Hearing that you were here, Zixi made a fuss about coming down with me to meet you. I'm fine with it, but he's a young child. It's too hot outside. Why don't you get out of the car, Grandpa, and we can talk more in the office?"

Ziyue spoke mildly. It was fine if Yuchuan took it to mean that she was blaming him for Zixi feeling hot because that was what she was thinking of anyway.

Thankfully, Yuchuan didn't nitpick what Ziyue said. He made his way out of the car and went into the company.

It was working hours, and there weren't many employees walking about in the company.

But because Yuchuan brought a large entourage of bodyguards with him wherever he went, it made waves and naturally piqued the interest of the employees in the office.

It was instinctive for people to gossip and only natural for people to recognize Yuchuan.

The news spread all over the company moments later.

Ziyue led them upstairs. When she passed by the secretarial office, she instructed Qingluo. "Send some tea to my office."

As the boss of Yanyue, Ziyue had a big office. There was also a rest area in it.

She and Yuchuan had just sat down when Qingluo brought the tea in.

She picked up on things well, and from Ziyue's behavior, she knew that Yuchuan wasn't an ordinary person, so she brewed a good tea Ziyue had previously brought to the office.
