Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 608

Chapter 608 A Calming Presence

After hearing her statement, Muchen placed his documents on the table. His face darkened as he replied, "Impossible."

Though he had a team of secretaries, the chief secretary had a heavy workload. It would be a taxing job.

Even though they could be together for the entire day if they worked together, he couldn't bear making her exhausted from all the work.

"Why not? Don't you want to see me the entire day? Bring me along on your business trips?" Ziyue started flashing out her reasoning.

Though Muchen had become quite paranoid, his affection for her remained unchanged.

"On top of that, if I'm with you the entire time, you don't have to worry about me getting into trouble or going anywhere alone."

Without a doubt, her explanation was quite tempting.

The thought of being together with her the entire day made his resolve waver.

However, Ziyue panicked slightly when Muchen disagreed with her request.

He didn't even allow me to leave the house, worried I might run away. Now that I request to be with him all day, he disagrees immediately. What's wrong?

In fact, Muchen was already persuaded by her.

Regardless, she stated another indisputable fact to solidify her position. "If we work together, you can have your eye on me the entire time. I wouldn't have any opportunities to look for Shichu."

Muchen immediately caught the point that he was the most sensitive to. "You still want to see him?"

A hostile look flared in his eyes as if he would tear her apart if her reply was positive.

Ziyue was startled by his reaction. She didn't understand why he was so triggered by Shichu, but she knew she shouldn't agitate him any further.

If he lost his temper, he might reject all her suggestions.

"I'm just quoting an example. If I can see you every moment of the day, I won't have the time to think about other men." She blushed after saying that.

Even though she was long past her teenage days, she still felt awkward saying it.

Muchen's expression changed several times before he let out a cold snort. "If you dare to see him, I'll kill him first and break your legs before locking you up."

Ziyue shuddered, shocked by the ruthlessness in his words.

"So, do you agree for me to be your secretary?" Ziyue widened her eyes at him expectantly.

Muchen met her bright gaze and nodded impassively.

As if worried that he might change his mind, she quickly asked, "Dear Mr. President, when can I start work?"

Muchen shot a glance at her.

"How about today?" she quickly asked.

In fact, he was delighted by her enthusiasm.

She doesn't want to part with me, even for a second. Since she can't bear to leave me, I'll grant her request.

…

Hence, Ziyue started working at LK Group as his secretary.

After hearing that, Xiyi gave her a call.

"It's a great idea. With you around, no matter how furious he is, he will still listen to you. You are his calming pill right now. With you around, his condition will improve greatly," he explained from a medical perspective, but she felt awkward after hearing that.

When she unabashedly requested to be his secretary, she was slightly embarrassed about how thick-skinned she behaved, but it affected him.

However, when others pointed it out loud, she felt shy and embarrassed.

"I know. By the way, I asked about his grandmother, but he brushed it off in a few words. It looks like he doesn't want to discuss it and avoids the topic."

Xiyi didn't immediately reply to her. After a moment, he said, "Alright. I'll arrange a treatment plan for Mr. Qin."

Wondering if it was an illusion, Ziyue felt that Xiyi's tone was slightly off.

After hanging up, she didn't go back to her office. Instead, she leaned against the wall and stared into the distance sullenly.

"Where are the documents I asked you to photocopy?"

Muchen's voice suddenly rang behind her. She jumped before turning around to look at him.

"W-Why are you here?"

"I'm waiting for the documents." He looked as handsome as ever with a cold expression, standing just two steps from her.

From his tone, it seemed like she was lazing off.

She blushed and replied, "I'll do it immediately."

With that, she quickly headed to the photocopy room.

Muchen's mask of indifference remained intact as she scurried away, as though nothing would change his icy demeanor.

Just when he was about to head back, he received a call.

Before he could reply, the caller reported, "Sir, I've just emailed you Mrs. Qin's call history."

Muchen hung up after that.

…

He returned to his office, but his gaze remained on a separate workspace in the corner.

He set it up for Ziyue, satisfying her wish to be with him the entire time.

He stood rooted to the ground for several seconds. The entire room was quite empty since she hadn't returned.

He went to his desk and opened his private email. He had received a document regarding Ziyue's latest call history.

He was satisfied with how frequently his number showed up, but he noticed that she called Xiyi more than three times over the past few days.

He had an uncanny feeling that Ziyue's behavior was slightly peculiar, yet he liked how she was behaving around him.

The peculiar feeling settled within him for quite some time, but he didn't do anything about it.

At the same time, he noticed that she would speak up whenever he lost his temper.

Looking at Xiyi's phone, he thought, Very good, Xiyi.

…

After work, Ziyue flopped on her desk, wanting to nap right there.

Forget it. I'll just rest while waiting for Muchen to go home together.

After some time, she straightened up and realized that he was not in the office.

The three-hour-long meeting had just ended, and she returned to the office immediately. It's about time that he's back. Did something happen?
