Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 691

The next morning, Ziyue led Zixi downstairs and saw Jingshu.

Why is Jingshu here so early?

Noticing that Jingshu was deep in conversation with Ke, Ziyue furrowed and continued down the stairs.

When Jingshu saw Ziyue coming down, he was about to say something to her, but she shook her head, gesturing for him to hold off.

Whatever had brought him to her house at such an early hour, it couldn't be good news.

Upon seeing Jingshu, Zixi quickly ran over and called, "Uncle Jingshu!"

Jingshu's serious expression instantly beamed with a grin, "Look who's up so early!"

Zixi replied with earnestness, "I have to go to school. You should wake up early too."

"Alright, let's have breakfast first," Ziyue suggested, leading Zixi to the dining room.

Turning back, she faced Ke and Jingshu, "What's the matter?"

With a serious demeanor, Jingshu explained, "There's news about Muchen. Someone claimed to have seen him in Yunzhou City."

Ziyue's heart skipped a beat, and then confusion set in.

Muchen was always cautious. If he didn't want to be seen, Ziyue wouldn't have been able to catch a glimpse of him at the coffee shop that day.

Furthermore, she had conducted an extensive search in Yunzhou City, but there were no leads. It puzzled Ziyue that someone was now claiming to have seen him.

Ziyue pondered, wondering if someone had spotted Muchen because he had come to see her the day before.

She lowered her gaze, masking her emotions, and asked calmly, "Who saw him? And where?"

Jingshu responded promptly, "I'm not sure either. My brother informed me."

"Bai Yunan?" Ziyue was startled at the name.

She never underestimated Yunan, so she had always been maintaining a cautious distance from him. However, Yunan persisted, almost like a masochist seeking her attention. The more she avoided him, the clingier he seemed to get.

If Muchen found out, he might become jealous and think she betrayed him.

Jingshu thought Ziyue didn't believe him, so he quickly added, "Rest assured, my brother has reliable intel."

Ke's joy was evident as she exclaimed, "Mr. Qin is still alive!"

Ziyue's expression grew solemn as she remembered how, only yesterday, even Yunan believed Muchen had died in the plane crash. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned retrieving his dead body.

Yet, overnight, Yunan suddenly had information about someone seeing Muchen?

It didn't add up because Muchen had left long before Yunan could have bumped into him.

Ziyue had a nagging feeling that something was off.

However, she couldn't reveal her suspicions to Jingshu, so she opted for a different approach, "Did you come here so early in the morning just to share this news?"

"Absolutely! It's good news and worth the trouble to drive all the way here and share early in the morning, isn't it?"

Ziyue smiled and replied, "Didn't I tell all of you that I saw Muchen and knew he was still alive? But none of you believed me."

"Uh, well..."

"Anyway, if your brother can help us locate Muchen, I'd be extremely grateful," Ziyue said, trying to sound nonchalant.

It was funny how things sometimes worked. It didn't catch on when someone said something was true until more people started discussing it. It was like we needed that social validation to believe it was legit.

Just like any other day, Ziyue dropped off Zixi at kindergarten before heading to the office. Taking her seat at the desk, she retrieved the document she had left unfinished the previous night and began perusing its pages. To her surprise, she discovered an extra sheet wedged in the middle.

The content put a smile on Ziyue's face. It was a cheeky apology comic strip that depicted a girl wielding a slipper who had playfully whacked a boy on the head, accompanied by a bold, uppercase caption that read, 'SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME.'

Ziyue knew it must be Muchen's work.
