Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 601

Chapter 601 Running Away After A Kiss

The next morning.

It was rare for her to wake up so early in the morning. Sitting up, she scratched her hair. Realizing that Muchen wasn't next to her, she looked around to find him.

"Muchen?"

There was no response. Ziyue climbed out of bed. Glancing at the couch, she remembered what had transpired last night.

"Aaargh!"

She screamed. Looking back at the bed, she saw that the sheets had been changed.

She almost jumped out of her skin. She thought that she had climbed into bed half asleep.

The sheets were changed, and she was lying in bed. This had Muchen written all over it.

She felt conflicted.

Muchen was always like this. He always did things without telling her. It was a surefire way for her anger to melt away.

She had been furious with him. But her anger disappeared whenever he was so thoughtful towards her.

Where could he have gone so early in the morning?

Ziyue washed up and got dressed. She went downstairs. The maids were already busy cleaning the house.

"Where did Muchen go?" She asked.

They shook their heads.

Was there an emergency? Why had he gone out so early?

After hesitating, Ziyue decided to call him.

She wasn't going to be stubborn after his peace offering last night.

That's right. Ziyue saw his gesture as a peace offering.

Her call went through, but Muchen did not pick up.

Forget it. What could happen in Mogwin Castle? There weren't many people who would dare to hurt him in Country J.

Even Gricy did not dare go head-to-head with Muchen. Instead, they had tried to get to him through her.

As for Lu Shichu infesting him with the K1LU73 virus, it wasn't Gricy's command. He had done it of his own will.

There wasn't much reason for her to worry then.

Muchen returned before breakfast.

He was wearing a tracksuit with a towel around his neck. The sweat on his forehead was starting to dry. He had obviously gone for a run.

He opened the door to see Ziyue sitting in the living room. He gave her a brief nod before heading upstairs.

Ziyue pressed both hands into the couch. She tapped her foot against the floor restlessly. She suddenly shot to her feet and ran upstairs.

She arrived at their bedroom and heard the sound of water splashing against tiles.

It was the weekend, and she wasn't sure if Muchen was planning on going out. Ziyue laid out two sets of clothing for him

One was a suit, and the other was loungewear.

She laid them out on the bed before leaving the room. It would be hard for Muchen to miss when he got out of the shower.

Muchen emerged from the bathroom and immediately saw the clothes on the bed.

He walked over. Looking at them both, his hand reached for the suit before he changed his mind and landed on the loungewear set.

Weekends were meant to be spent resting at home. Why did he have to go to work?

Comfortable with his decision, Muchen changed into loungewear and went down for breakfast.

Ziyue couldn't help but smile when she saw what he wore. He wasn't planning on going out today then.

A maid came up to announce breakfast, but Ziyue beat her to it. "Breakfast is ready." She said uncomfortably.

"Sure."

Muchen replied cooly. He walked into the dining room without sparing her a glance.

The little flame of hope she had inside was doused with the cold water of his indifference. Ziyue shuffled her feet after him.

Sitting down, she realized that Muchen had not started eating yet. It looked like he had been waiting for her.

She hung onto every single thing Muchen did or said. It was like he had a hold on her.

Ziyue gripped her knife and fork, starting to eat when Muchen said, "I'd like it if you stayed at home these few days."

"Why?" Ziyue shot back.

"I'll spend time at home with you if I can." Muchen ignored her question.

That meant that while she wasn't allowed out, she must be satisfied with knowing that he'll come home to her whenever he could.

Ziyue's lips tightened. "You went out to exercise this morning?" She changed the subject.

"I went for a run with my grandfather." Muchen was finally honest with her about something.

Afraid she would pry, he quickly added, "Let's eat."

It sounded like he was trying to shut her up.

What about what he tried to pull by throwing the hamsters onto the dining table?

He's such a child. There was no way she could beat him.

Chuan arrived at the castle in the afternoon.

It was rare for Ziyue and Muchen to get along. They were watching TV.

Occasionally, she would sneak glances only to see him paying full attention to the screen.

She found his attentiveness attractive.

Chuan just so happened to arrive at that time.

He had a briefcase in one hand, in the other, a paper bag. He hurried in as if he had something of importance to tell Muchen.

"Sir."

Chuan froze when he saw them watching TV. He slowly approached them.

"Yes?" Muchen answered him calmly.

Chuan choked. One of the maids offered him a glass of water. He took a big gulp and was about to speak when Muchen interjected, "I'm trying to watch TV. Be quiet."

Ziyue smirked.

If he wasn't her husband, she would have thought him incredibly rude.

Chuan stared at Ziyue pleadingly.

Ziyue stared back helplessly. She empathized with him.

She did not feel like watching TV at all.

She had told Mo Xiyi about his short fuse. It was no exaggeration when she said it didn't take much to set hump off. He would do crazy things that she had no explanation for.

Ziyue tapped Muchen on the shoulder and pouted, "I… I don't feel like watching TV anymore…"

"What would you like to do then?" Muchen furrowed his brows. As if not watching TV was a difficult task.

Ziyue remembered Muchen had told her not to go out and that he would spend more time with her. Was that why he was insisting on watching TV?

Ziyue was speechless.

"I'd like to take a nap. Chuan must have something important to say. Come look for me once you're done." Afraid that he would disagree, Ziyue smiled winningly at him.

Muchen looked calm as ever, but somehow Ziyue could tell he wasn't happy with her.

She clenched her jaw. She pulled him into a hug, kissed him, and ran off.
