Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 505

Chapter 505

"Have some tea, Sir."

Qingluo glanced at Yuchuan before looking down and serving him tea. She put a cup in front of Ziyue and a glass of juice in front of Zixi before she turned and left.

Zixi glanced at the two adults before picking up his juice and taking sips. He glanced at Ziyue and Yuchuan before his gaze landed on Zheng.

Ziyue wasn't surprised to see a strange expression on Zheng's face again.

It made Ziyue slightly curious.

Did her son look weird or something? It made Zheng, a butler who served this noble family for years and a gentleman who possessed great self-restraint, pale.

She gazed at Zheng for a few seconds before looking away as she suppressed her questions.

Ziyue took the lead and broke the silence. "Did you sleep well last night, Grandpa?"

Although her office was big, Yuchuan had quite the entourage. If he didn't say anything, others wouldn't either. There was pin-drop silence after she spoke in a space where there were a dozen people.

"When you're old, you don't have many years left. What does it matter if I sleep well?" It was clearly a jab at Ziyue.

She wasn't angry and said in a perfectly composed manner, "Your complexion looks good, Grandpa. I'm sure you'll live a long life. Furthermore, you have a good doctor like Qin Wu."

Qin Wu. The slightly unfamiliar name was brought up all of a sudden.

But it was fine as long as Yuchuan was familiar with it.

As soon as she said it, Yuchuan's hand suddenly tightened around the teacup. He stared at Ziyue with a malicious expression and sneered. "Young people have such good memory. You were only under the same roof as Qin Wu for a few days, but you still remember her."

"Of course I do. I have a deep impression of Dr. Qin." Ziyue smiled indifferently. She was speaking as though she was bringing up someone from the past that had nothing to do with Yuchuan.

However, only she knew that she had difficulty expressing how she felt about Wu.

Back then, if it wasn't for Wu hiding her condition from Muchen, she wouldn't have been separated from him for two years, and Zixi might not have suffered such pain.

If Wu hadn't hidden her condition then, she and Muchen would have undoubtedly known earlier that she was pregnant.

If they had known earlier that she was pregnant, they would have had their guard up, and what came next wouldn't have happened.

People would often push themselves into dangerous territory because of ignorance and neglect.

It seemed like Wu hadn't committed a great crime, but she was an important driving force.

Without her driving force, it wouldn't have been so easy for Hanyan to arrange what happened next.

At that moment, there was a reason for her to bring up Wu in front of Yuchuan.

Yuchuan had been conceited his whole life and had always tried in vain to control Muchen.

But he had never achieved his goal in the past ten years. Ziyue could only guess how hostile he was about that.

Even though Wu only hid from Muchen the abnormalities from her check-up, he believed what Hanyan said. And Hanyan... almost killed Yuchuan.

A person who had always been conceited was almost killed by someone around him. How ironic.

Furthermore, it almost tore Muchen and Yuchuan apart.

As it turned out, Hanyan had disappeared from Mogwin Castle.

Yuchuan would probably feel unhappy every time this matter was brought up.

She wasn't an objective person. She was rather narrow-minded about certain matters.

She only kept the peace with Yuchuan on the surface because of Muchen.

"Hmph." Yuchuan snorted coldly and didn't plan on saying anything else.

He looked around and said, "How much profit does your company make each year?"

His tone sounded like he was waiting to mock her for not earning as much as Muchen.

She didn't know what to say about Yuchuan.

Ziyue took a sip of her tea and pretended to think about it. She said slowly, "As compared to LK Group, my company doesn't make much. But it's good that Muchen doesn't need a rich wife to make him a better person."

"Do you understand men?" Yuchuan suddenly asked. Ziyue was at a loss.

Ziyue felt that the Yuchuan she was meeting now differed slightly from the past.

Do people really get more muddled the older they are?

He was getting on in years, but he asked a young woman like herself if she understood men?

Ziyue responded with silence.

She remembered Zixi was beside her, and she turned to glance at him but realized that he was dozing off. His little head nodded forward and looked a little funny, but it also made others pity him.

Ziyue extended her arms to carry him and hugged him in her arms. She stroked his back gently.

From the start until the end, Yuchuan treated Zixi as if he was invisible. He didn't care about Ziyue's actions and said profoundly, "Do you think you've seen all of Muchen? The Qin blood flows in him, and I understand him better than anyone. There will come a day when he will understand that what I did was right. His mother is a good example. When Qin Li was young, she was exactly the same as Muchen, but what happened to her? She was killed by her stupidity."

This was the first time she had heard Yuchuan say Qin Li's name.

But Yuchuan's tone wasn't one of a father remembering his daughter that had passed away. In fact, it was as though he was talking about how smart one of his pets was and felt great pity that it had died a violent death after breaking free from a cage. There was even disdain mingled in his voice.

Ziyue clenched her fists and loosened them.

The calm expression on her face was no longer there. Her face was cold instead. "Grandpa, everyone has a different trajectory for their lives. I don't know what's good about controlling the trajectory of other people's lives, but you seem to have that as your goal, and you're proud of it. You always want to control other people's lives, but you don't know how terrible your life is."

"What do you mean, Ziyue?" Yuchuan suddenly hit the table. It was clear that he was livid.

Ziyue felt Zixi move in her arms in an uneasy manner, and she regretted what she had said.

It was mainly because it infuriated Yuchuan. He would disturb Zixi's sleep if he lost his temper.

Ziyue pursed her lips and said calmly, "Other than thinking about controlling other people's lives, what else have you thought about? If you were concerned about your daughter, would she have stayed in Country Z and not gone back? If you really treat Muchen as your grandson, why do the two of you have such a relationship? Those around you only treat you well because of your status or because they're employed by you. I think it's unfortunate that you live such a life."
