Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525

Muchen handed the phone to Ziyue after the call got through.

Ziyue turned on the loudspeaker and patiently waited for Jingshu to answer the call.

Jingshu could be busy, and it took quite some time for him to pick up the call. He yelled furiously over the phone when he picked up the call, "Now only you remember to call me!"

It was apparent that he was upset.

She had no idea what happened between him and Muchen yet she responded quizzically, "It's me."

Jingshu faltered in rude awakening, and after that, he said in good humor, "Ah, it's you. Have you seen Muchen?"

"Yep, he had just arrived. Are you... busy? Where's Zixi?" Ziyue asked him directly.

"He's with Xia at the moment. I'll ask her to come over, or you can give her a call directly. I have something to tell Muchen."

"Okay."

Ziyue said as she passed the phone to Muchen, "He wants to talk to you."

Muchen grabbed the phone with his eyebrow raised.

Ziyue took out her phone and called Xia.

"Ziyue!" Xia was surprised to receive Ziyue's call.

"Yea, it's me..."

Both of them spoke on the phone by the river. Subsequently, they strode to the parking lot after they synchronously hung up their calls.

...

It was still early when they got back at Mogwin Castle.

Ziyue was forlorn after hearing Zixi's voice over the phone with Xia just now. She couldn't help but sulk at the thought of Zixi.

She was still caught in a daze as Muchen led her into Mogwin Castle. But Muchen startled her as he abruptly pulled up at the door.

Ziyue lifted her head and saw Zheng in full uniform standing in the distance, anticipating their arrival. Zheng immediately walked up and saluted them, "Good day, Master Muchen and Miss Ziyue."

Zheng made a ninety-degree obeisance as he greeted them.

His impetuous salutation looked natural and effortless as if he had rehearsed it countless times prior to this.

Ziyue frowned in disgruntlement.

She had met Zheng multiple times before. He was courteous and compliant but wasn't as dreary. Right now, he behaved and spoke like a boring robot.

She didn't like the subtle differences in Zheng.

She had been around for a few days and tended by servants she hadn't met before. Although she had grown more accustomed to the rules and formality of the Mogwin family. But, deep in her heart, she loathed the uncanny and superficial way of living.

Zheng's subtle behavior changes reminded her that she would have to lead a rule-bound life living in the castle. It would be inevitable for people to judge her word and behavior.

To most people, it was a privilege to be born into a family, but not for Muchen and regular folks like Ziyue. They had no desire to lead such sterile life.

Muchen, standing next to Ziyue, scowled at Zheng's salutation. Ziyue noticed his chagrin and secretly pinched him to remind him to be receptive.

She didn't care how Zheng addressed her because it wouldn't make any difference.

Muchen had just reconciled with the Mogwin family, and it would be unwise to fuss about such a trivial matter.

Ziyue complained in her heart, but on the outside, she asked Zheng politely, "What's the matter, Mr. Qin?

Although Ziyue knew by heart that it was Yuchuan's order for Zheng to stand by and await their arrival, she still asked bluntly.

"The Earl is waiting for you in the study room." Zheng bent forward in a respectful manner as he spoke.

Muchen responded succinctly, "Alright."

Zheng continued and said, "Please come with me."

He then led Ziyue and Muchen to Yuchuan's study room.

Ziyue couldn't help but scan around Yuchuan's spacious and finessed study room as she entered the study room.

Muchen noticed her reaction and whispered to her, "There is a big library in the castle. I will take you there after this."

Ziyue heard his words. She beamed a light-hearted smile as her eyes lit up.

Cough!

Ziyue and Muchen snapped back to their senses as Yuchuan hacked his throat.

"Grandpa." Muchen greeted while holding Ziyue's hand.

Ziyue followed suit, "Grandpa."

Yuchuan was sitting on a large leather sofa chair. He looked bleak, as if fatigued. He pointed at the chair opposite him and said, "Take a seat."

Muchen and Ziyue heeded his invitation and sat down. Yuchuan's gaze traveled back and forth between the two of them before he fixed his gaze on Muchen, "I heard that you went to dinner with Jueyin."

Ziyue looked at Yuchuan in a rude awakening.

Did he hear that?

The Mogwin Castle was massive. Yuchuan had been ignoring her of late. Muchen showed up abruptly, and it was unlikely for Yuchuan to chance upon such news. Yuchuan must have been watching Ziyue closely.

The servants must have informed him when Muchen showed up at Mogwin Castle.

It seemed that Yuchuan liked to prance around, which was why he let Muchen and Jueyin go out for dinner, then only instructed Zheng to bring them to his study room after they returned.

"Grandpa always gets the first-hand news." Muchen said lightly with a poker face.

"It's because I care about you. You are finally willing to come back to Mogwin Castle after so many years. Of course, I couldn't be happier."

Yuchuan couldn't contain his joy and cackled as he said.

Muchen faked a smile.

Yuchuan was indeed correct. He was finally willing to return to Mogwin Castle after so many years.

But……

The smile on Muchen's face faded away gradually. He said with disdain and sarcasm, "Really? I'm glad you're happy."

Seeing his reaction, Yuchuan furrowed in displeasure.

At first, he didn't intend to take on Muchen during his recent trip to country Z. In fact, his initial plan was to deal with Ziyue first.

However, his residual conscience refrained him from taking on a woman, so he changed his target to Muchen instead.

He thought Muchen would give up after what had happened.

But the reality was against his hope and will.

Although Muchen had come to Mogwin Castle voluntarily, he didn't seem to be affected by the incident. He looked as usual. He didn't speak nor behave kindly to Yuchuan like how a grandson should respect his grandfather.
