Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 701

Chapter 701 I Think He Was Surnamed, Lu

Ziyue finished a meeting with an hour left before working hours were over.

She sat on the executive chair, spinning around mindlessly.

Now that she had some free time, she couldn't help but think about Muchen.

Feeling annoyed, she decided to go out and buy herself a cup of coffee and get some fresh air.

Picking up her bag, she walked out and ran into Nan Ke.

"Madam, are you going out?" Nan Ke asked.

"I'm going out to buy a cup of coffee." Ziyue lifted her wallet and replied.

Nan Ke hesitated, "Should I have someone buy it for you?"

"I just feel like going out for a walk. It's fine." Ziyue reassured her.

Hearing that Ziyue wanted to go out for a walk, Nan Ke didn't insist any further.

There was a coffee shop near the company that Ziyue liked very much.

She took a longer route, choosing a relatively quiet path rather than a shorter one.

As she walked, she felt someone behind her.

She stopped and turned around to look but saw nothing.

This road had few pedestrians, especially before the end of the workday. There was no one else around except for her.

Was it just her nerves acting up?

She continued walking, but the feeling of someone following her persisted.

She tilted her head slightly and listened carefully while keeping her pace. She could faintly hear the sound of footsteps.

Sensing something wasn't right, Ziyue quickened her steps.

The person behind her seemed to realize that few people were on this road and became bolder. The footsteps grew louder and faster.

Ziyue's heart raced; the footsteps seemed to quicken in pace and grew louder. Suddenly, a hand pressed on her shoulder.

She froze for a moment, and the next moment, she heard a smacking sound, followed by the heavy thud of something falling to the ground.

Swiftly turning around, she saw a tall man lying on the ground, and standing in front of him was Bessalyn. She had a stone in her hand.

It was obvious that she had just used that stone to knock the man unconscious.

After a brief shock, Ziyue returned to her senses and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Bessalyn ignored her and bent down to check if the man was truly unconscious. To be safe, she picked up a stone and hit the man's forehead several times, to the point where it started to bleed.

The force was so strong that Ziyue felt like she was experiencing a headache just from watching.

Bessalyn threw the stone aside, straightened her clothes, and smiled at Ziyue. "Mrs. Qin, long time no see."

She spoke in the language of Country Z, but her speech was far from fluent.

Ziyue was curious. She couldn't help but ask, "You can speak the language of Country Z?"

"Just a little bit." She smiled, and that smile puzzled Ziyue.

Deep in thought, Ziyue nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bessalyn looked around and stood nearer to Ziyue. She said seriously, "There's something important about Qin Muchen that I need to tell you. Unfortunately, this is not the right place to talk. Let's find somewhere else."

After saying that, she turned around and walked in another direction.

Ziyue glanced at where she was heading. It was the parking lot.

Although she followed, it wasn't just because she blindly believed in Bessalyn's words. It was because Bessalyn was right. They weren't at a suitable place for a conversation.

The two of them walked a distance and reached the road across from the parking lot. Ziyue stopped there. Many people were there, so Ziyue wouldn't have to worry about anyone attacking her there.

Bessalyn sensed that no one was following her and turned around to see Ziyue standing not far away, looking unconcerned.

She gritted her teeth and returned, saying, "I know it's sudden for me to come to find you, but this is urgent. Bai Yunan went to find Qin Muchen!"

She babbled on, her words a jumble of different languages, making the sentence sound strange, but Ziyue managed to get what she meant.

Without even asking how Yunan knew that Muchen was still alive, Ziyue asked nervously, "What did you say? How could Bai Yunan have found Qin Muchen?"

"I can't explain it clearly. You should check on them yourself." Bessalyn did not look any less anxious than Ziyue.

She was also nervous. She had plenty of experience with Muchen's temper and was truly afraid that Muchen would come after her for revenge. She just wanted to live peacefully for a couple more years.

"Where is he?" Ziyue didn't wholly trust Bessalyn, who appeared out of nowhere, but since it involved Muchen, she had to be cautious.

Bessalyn gave an address in English.

After she finished speaking, seeing concern shrouding Ziyue's face, Bessalyn knew she was finally taking her seriously, so she added, "He has been living there since he was back."

Ziyue glanced at Bessalyn and declared, "I'll go there now."

The address Bessalyn mentioned was her old apartment, where she had lived with Muchen for a long time. Because of all the events the past year, she hadn't returned to that tiny apartment for a long time. She might've forgotten all about its existence if Bessalyn had not brought it up.

"Hey, wait for me." Bessalyn saw Ziyue heading away to leave and hurriedly caught up with her.

Ziyue walked quickly, and it was only with a slight jog that she caught up. She thought to herself, Su Ziyue's legs aren't any longer than mine, but she walks fast.

"Mrs. Qin, I know you're a kind person. Considering that I came all the way here today just to tell you about this matter, please tell Qin Muchen not to come after me."

"What did you do to anger Qin Muchen?" Ziyue's footsteps didn't stop as she spoke, opening the car door simultaneously as she questioned.

Bessalyn had no choice but to follow and sit in the car.

"His temper is just too bad. Regardless of what has happened, technically, I did save his life, but he's had such a foul attitude toward me. I couldn't take it anymore, so I told Bai Yunan that you and Qin Muchen have already divorced."

"So, Bai Yunan guessed that Qin Muchen is still alive and asked you to take him to find Qin Muchen?" Ziyue quickly finished her sentence.

Bessalyn looked at Ziyue in astonishment, "You…"

Ziyue didn't look at her and started the car, saying exasperatedly, "Could you just speak in English? Your mixture of languages is exhausting for me."

"I was being petty, I admit that, but I feel that Qin Muchen's temper is worse than mine, and only you can tolerate him. As someone who technically saved him, it's fine if he doesn't appreciate it, but he…"

Ziyue had never known that Bessalyn was actually talkative.

She couldn't deny that Muchen's temper was bad and secretly felt slightly pleased that Bessalyn finally saw Muchen's temper. It seemed like Bessalyn's former admiration for Muchen had been extinguished, which meant one less rival for her.

However, she quickly caught on to something Bessalyn said, "You saved his life?"

"Yes, a man from Country Z brought him to me then."

A man from Country Z? It couldn't be Nanchuan, nor could it be He Yichen, and definitely not Bai Jingshu.

"Who was that man?"

"I don't know." Bessalyn shook her head as she responded.

Not getting the answer she wanted, Ziyue turned back and gave her a chilling glance.

Bessalyn was taken aback, surprised by Ziyue's glare.

She awkwardly reached up and scratched her head, saying, "But I overheard their conversation, and that man seemed to be surnamed, Lu."
