Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713 Looking Away Uneasily

The first person Ziyue saw when she arrived at Lumiere Jade House was Muchen.

Muchen had visited daily while Zixi was hospitalized for the past few days. However, when Muchen and Ziyue met, they didn't say much.

Ziyue held Zixi's hand and stood opposite Muchen. Before she said anything, Zixi was the first to greet Muchen, "Daddy."

Muchen glanced at him and answered, "Mm."

Ziyue felt uncomfortable by Muchen's indifferent attitude.

Ziyue saw him playing with Zixi when she arrived home the day he returned. The peaceful scene was still vivid in her mind.

But she didn't think so any more after what had happened a few days ago.

He didn't immediately tell her Shichu's whereabouts.

Not only that, but he also felt uncertain. He only admitted he knew where Shichu was when interrogated by Jingshu.

The man before her was still handsome but felt slightly unfamiliar to her.

She looked down at Zixi, whose small figure stuck to her. He raised his head slightly and stared at Muchen with wide eyes. It was as though he wanted to approach Muchen but was scared of Muchen's indifferent demeanor.

Ziyue's heart felt constricted. She crouched down and picked Zixi up.

Zixi leaned obediently on Ziyue's shoulder when she carried him.

However, he would secretly glance at Muchen extremely cautiously from time to time.

Children were sensitive. Even more so when it was their own parent. Zixi could feel that his father didn't seem to like him much.

Ziyue reached out and patted Zixi's back comfortingly. She said to Muchen, "I want to see Shichu."

Muchen nodded ever so slightly. He reached out and wanted to carry Zixi.

"Let me carry him."

The elevator was going up multiple floors. Muchen feared that Ziyue would be tired.

"It's alright." Ziyue avoided his extended arms as she stepped to the side and walked into the elevator.

She wouldn't discuss Zixi's matters with Muchen for the time being because there was too much to discuss. They had to solve their problems one at a time.

The family of three was silent in the elevator.

Even Zixi could feel the cold air between the two adults. His little arms were hooked around Ziyue's neck as he leaned on her obediently.

Muchen turned to glance at him. Zixi also turned to look at Muchen at the same time.

The father and son looked at each other.

Zixi had entirely inherited Muchen's pitch-black eyes.

However, Zixi's pitch-black eyes were utterly innocent.

Even if Zixi was more brilliant and thoughtful than his peers, he was a child at the end of the day. He didn't understand what was going on.

Therefore, his gaze showed traces of fear and anticipation as he looked at Muchen.

As they looked at each other, Muchen was the first to look away uneasily.

If Zixi was older, he would have hated his father.

However, Zixi was too young and didn't know anything.

…

Shichu and Enxue were locked up in the same suite. Bodyguards kept guard outside.

When the bodyguards saw Ziyue and her family walking over, they greeted the family in unison, "Boss. Mrs. Qin."

The corners of Ziyue's mouth twitched, and she revealed a sarcastic smile.

On the day of Zixi's incident, she and Muchen had gone to pick Zixi up from school. The teachers had seen Muchen, and news of Muchen still being alive spread.
