Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 735

Chapter 735 Feeling Like a Princess

Ziyue had no doubt that Xiyi had heard her calculated words meant for him.

These men were incredibly egotistical, each surpassing the previous one. Did Xiyi honestly think Ke would sit around waiting for him simply because she liked him? Well, he would be sorely disappointed!

Acting like she hadn't noticed Xiyi, Ziyue maintained her smile and continued to fan the flames, "Ke is beautiful and capable. I'd be head over heels for her in no time if I were a guy."

Just as Muchen walked into the dining room, he caught the latter part of Ziyue's sentence. Raising an eyebrow, he sat beside her and looked at her with a teasing grin, "Who's got you groggy and all smitten? Do spill it out."

Ziyue hesitated, unsure of how to respond.

Amusement danced in Muchen's eyes, and Ziyue felt as though he could see right through her. Even though she had purposely said that to provoke Xiyi, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed to get busted by Muchen.

Ziyue turned her head and discreetly gestured to Zixi.

The clever little Zixi quickly chimed in, "Mom, I'm hungry." Ziyue swiftly replied, "Oh, are you? Let's go and get you something to eat first."

Having said that, she went to plate some food for Zixi.

Muchen observed as Ziyue dished out the food for Zixi and earnestly reminded Zixi not to be selective with his meals. The latter turned his head and feigned innocence.

Did she actually believe he hadn't heard what she said?

Muchen was all ears.

So, she had plans to play matchmaker with Xiyi and Ke, huh? Whenever he wished for something, he would find a way to make it a reality.

Muchen glanced at the bottle of wine and handed it to Xiyi, saying, "Have a toast." Xiyi was known for his discipline in avoiding anything harmful to his health, except for those occasional late-night experiments. But since Muchen offered it personally, he couldn't refuse and reluctantly accepted the bottle of wine.

Then, Muchen handed another bottle of wine to Chuan and said, "I bet it's been a while since Xiyi and you had come together for a drink. Come, let's toast!"

Chuan's relationship with Muchen wasn't exactly friendly, so why should he be raising a toast with him? Chuan had a gut feeling that his boss was plotting something again. However, since it was Zixi's birthday today, he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere. He reluctantly went along with Muchen and kept downing glass after glass.

As the drinking session went on, Chuan grew increasingly animated. His frustration towards Xiyi, who had let Ke down, fueled his resentment; he deliberately forced a lot of wine onto Xiyi.

Xiyi wasn't much of a drinker, so his alcohol tolerance was relatively low. On the other hand, Chuan was a seasoned drinker, but the top-shelf liquor Muchen provided was too strong for him to handle.

As a result, both Chuan and Xiyi ended up getting completely wasted and stumbling around.

If Ziyue couldn't see through Muchen's intentions at this stage, she would be a complete fool. She discreetly tugged on the corner of Muchen's clothing under the table and asked, "What's your game?"

Muchen gave her an assuring look and turned to signal the servant, "Bring the cake over."

They sang a birthday song for Zixi while Chuan and Xiyi mumbled in a dazed state. Zixi made a wish and blew out the candles, and then Ziyue held his hand to cut the cake and share it with everyone.

The birthday celebration had wrapped up quite early.

Ziyue requested Muchen to arrange a driver to take Xia home first. With Chuan and Xiyi heavily under the influence, Ziyue glanced at Muchen, silently asking for assistance with the intoxicated duo.

Muchen instructed the servant to help Xiyi, but the latter immediately shoved the servant away and slurred, "Don't... touch me!"

That was because Xiyi had a germophobia and despised being touched by others.

Muchen frowned and turned to Ke.

Ke caught on to her boss' meaning and reluctantly walked up to help Xiyi. Surprisingly, instead of pushing her away, Xiyi leaned on her. Muchen seized the opportunity and said, "Could you please take Dr. Mo home? I'll arrange for someone to send Chuan."
