Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 542

Chapter 542

Muchen sank into deep thoughts for a moment at the mention of Jingshu and recalled how they first met.

After all, it had been more than ten years, so it was normal for him to take time to recall it.

Moments later, he shook his head. "No.”

Ziyue's interest was piqued. "How did you meet him?” She asked.

Muchen answered indifferently, "He was my client; that's how we met.”

Then, he walked to the bathroom.

Unsatisfied, Ziyue followed behind him and asked, "What happened after that?”

However, Muchen ignored her question and shut the door after entering the bathroom.

Ziyue halted her steps abruptly and rubbed her nose. Staring at the door before her, she felicitated herself on her swift reaction.

Otherwise, she would have hit the door.

Oh well, if you don't tell me, I'll ask Jingshu when I return.

Muchen did not go to shower immediately after entering the bathroom. Instead, he turned to face the door and only went in after seeing Ziyue leave through the frosted glass door.

The bathroom was spacious. He took a few steps forward before taking out his phone to make a call. "You may begin.”

…

The following day, it was ten o'clock when Ziyue woke up.

She slept peacefully last night because they did not stay at Mogwin Castle.

Muchen had already left the room, so she walked out of the room after washing up.

She was exhausted when they arrived at the villa last night, so she did not remember the structure of the building. As such, she only found the staircase after wandering around the corridor for a while.

She went downstairs to see a group of people in the living room. Besides the servants, Muchen and the Nan siblings were present too.

Today is a weekday. Why didn't they go to work?

They were sitting together, discussing something. When Nan Ke, Chuan's sister, lifted her head and caught sight of Ziyue, she greeted her with a smile. "Good morning, Mrs. Qin.”

Muchen turned around too. When he saw Ziyue, he turned and said something to Chuan before walking toward Ziyue.

"Go and get some breakfast.” He said gently to Ziyue.

Then, he turned and ordered a servant at the side, "Bring Ziyue for breakfast.”

Before Ziyue could say anything, Ke sprang up from the couch and volunteered. "I'll go!”

When she realized her loud and eager tone attracted the others' attention, she blinked her eyes in embarrassment. Her blue eyes were extremely alluring.

She coughed and said, "I'll bring Mrs. Qin for breakfast.”

"Sure.” Muchen thought it was good to let the two ladies get familiar with each other.

Given the current situation, he was unsure how long they had to stay here.

He could not always care for Ziyue, so he thought Ke would be a good companion for Ziyue.

Ziyue was unaware of Muchen's thoughtfulness.

"Thank you.” She thanked Ke with a smile.

She could tell Ke was close to Muchen and had his trust, too, just like Chuan.

After getting along with Ke for a few days, she noticed Ke was more bubbly and playful than Chuan, which resembled Xia.

A bubbly and capable woman with an attractive appearance could easily win others' favor.

"Mrs. Qin, I'll bring you on a house tour after breakfast.” Ke said as she showed Ziyue the way to the dining room.

When they arrived at the dining room, Ke served Ziyue breakfast. The servant wanted to help but was rejected.

Ziyue was embarrassed to have slept in, but she was at ease perceiving Ke's nonchalant attitude and dug in after thanking Ke.

"Do you like the food? Boss specially ordered the chef to prepare some English breakfast.” Sitting across from Ziyue, Ke propped her chin with her hand and stared at Ziyue. Her blue eyes were sparkling. At that moment, she looked like a delicate young girl, which was very different from her shrewd demeanor when Ziyue first met her.

Ziyue could not help asking, "Forgive me if I'm being abrupt – may I know how old you are?”

Ke did not mind Ziyue asking about her age. She thought about it carefully and hummed, "Hmm… I'm twenty-six.”

Ziyue nodded. Ke was two years older than her.

Muchen had strict demands on his subordinates, so Ziyue admired Ke for surviving under Muchen's leadership, becoming his trusted confidant, and remaining cheerful at the same time.

"Mrs. Qin, may I…”

Ziyue interrupted her. "You can call me Ziyue.”

Although Ziyue was used to Chuan addressing her as 'Mrs. Qin', she felt strange being addressed the same by Ke.

"Oh, that's inappropriate. I should address you as Mrs. Qin.” Ke rejected Ziyue's proposal with a gentle smile.

As such, Ziyue did not force her. "What did you want to ask just now?”

Ke's expression turned awkward. After hesitating momentarily, she mustered her courage and asked, "Did Xiyi come back with you guys?"

"Dr. Mo?” Ziyue had a sudden realization when she perceived Ke's shy look.

She recalled Ke and Chuan's conversation when she first met Ke. Could Dr. Mo be the man they were talking about?

From Ke's shy look, she reckoned Ke was fond of Xiyi.

However, when Ziyue thought of Xiyi's mysophobia and obsession with laboratory experiments, she was worried for Ke.

"I'm not too sure because I came with my grandfather. I'm not sure if Xiyi followed Muchen.”

Seeing Ke's dejected look, Ziyue thought about it and added, "I can help you ask Muchen.”

Ke's eyes lit up at once. Ziyue smiled and continued eating her breakfast.

By the time she finished her breakfast, it was almost lunchtime.

She figured out why Muchen and the Nan siblings did not go to work today. They stayed back to accompany her because she suddenly moved in last night and was unfamiliar with the environment.

Although Ziyue knew Muchen was always thoughtful toward her, she could not help feeling touched.

In the afternoon, an uninvited guest showed up in the villa.

Ziyue and Ke came out of the greenhouse in the backyard and walked toward the living room while chatting when Ziyue heard Jueyin's voice.
