Marry Me Quick

Chapter 715 No Indication

'Thud!'

It was as though a boulder had fallen on Ziyue's chest. It didn't hurt, but it felt uncomfortably tight.

After a long time, she said, "What…?"

"It's as you heard. I can do anything or give up anyone for you."

Muchen's gaze was fixed on her. His eyes were calm. He reached his hand out to Ziyue. "Let's go."

He had a serene expression. It was as though he didn't know how badly his words had affected Ziyue.

She thought their family had finally reunited after Muchen returned.

However, the man before her. Her husband and her child's father…

Why did he become so apathetic?

He shouldn't be like this.

Ziyue took a step back as if suddenly waking up in surprise. Her eyes widened, and she said sharply, "Where's Zixi? Where did you leave Zixi?"

He wouldn't have…

Muchen's hand was still in mid-air. His expression turned slightly nasty when Ziyue didn't respond to him.

He pursed his lips, and a malicious gaze appeared in his eyes. His brows wrinkled tightly as if trying hard to hide something.

Ziyue noticed the change in his expression, and her heart suddenly constricted.

Ziyue had never seen him like this. His handsome face was familiar to her, but his demeanor was unusually shocking.

Ziyue genuinely admired Muchen, but now, she was intimidated by him.

Muchen saw the fear in her eyes, and his expression turned nastier.

He took a few steps forward, and his voice was deep. "Come here."

"What about Zixi? Where is he?" Ziyue ignored him and didn't go to him.

Muchen's fists clenched and unclenched.

He restrained the rage rising within him and tried to make his voice gentle. "Jingshu came to eat, so he took Zixi with him."

A relieved expression immediately appeared when she heard what he said.

Muchen's eyes flashed. When she was distracted, he grabbed her hand in the blink of an eye before pulling her out.

Ziyue tightened her fists in objection as she followed him out unwillingly.

However, Muchen was too strong. Ziyue was no match for him.

Muchen pulled her forward, and she was dragged behind him.

She looked down, and her thoughts drifted.

She had known Muchen for so long. Although he was ruthless at times, he was mostly kind. He wasn't a cruel and cold person.

Especially when it came to his own son.

Even if he was jealous and didn't want her to see Shichu, there was no way he could be so merciless.

And this unusual behavior made her think of how his temperament had changed when they were in Country J. He became strange and paranoid.

After that, Xiyi said that Muchen might have a genetic mental illness. Sometime later, Xiyi retracted it and said there was no such thing before he left to join MSF.

Xiyi was obsessed with studying medicine. There was no indication that he was going to join MSF.

She had trusted Xiyi's character too much at the time. She knew he despised lying.

Even though she had her doubts, she ended up with no definite answers because she trusted in Xiyi.

In this world, people believe in lies because they trust the liar.

Ziyue's thoughts ran wild. Although she had no proof for her thoughts, she was convinced.

"Ziyue! What's wrong, Ziyue?"

Ziyue suddenly came to her senses and saw Xia waving at her, trying to catch her attention.

When Ziyue clearly saw who was before her, she said, "Xia?"

"What are you thinking of? I called you many times, but you ignored me." Xia looked at her with concern. "Are you alright? You don't look good."

Ziyue's lips curved, and her smile was slightly forced.

A tiny figure hugged her legs before she thought of what to say. Zixi's soft baby voice rang. "Mommy."

She saw Zixi's chubby face when she looked down.

His big black eyes were just like Muchen's. He looked at her lovingly.

Ziyue flung Muchen's hand away, and she crouched down to pick Zixi up.

She reached out and searched Zixi's body all over. She stroked his face and hugged him tightly when

she found nothing strange. She couldn't say a word.

Muchen's gaze dimmed when he saw such a scene.

His face was cold as he searched for cigarettes in his pocket before turning to leave.

He wanted to smoke and calm down.

Jingshu also noticed something strange with Muchen, so he followed Muchen. "Muchen, what are you doing? Go in and order food so we can eat!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"I'm going to the washroom," Muchen said without turning around.

Jingshu was momentarily lost in thought as he watched Muchen's figure. He turned and said to Ziyue and Xia behind him, "Let's head in."

Xia pulled Ziyue into the private room. Before entering, Ziyue turned to glance in Muchen's direction. Her gaze landed on the pack of cigarettes in his hands, and she hesitated momentarily before going in.

After sitting down, Xia sat next to Ziyue with a menu. "Let's order, Ziyue."

"I'm fine with anything. You can order." Ziyue wasn't in the mood to eat but didn't want to dampen Xia's spirits, so she kept calm.

In the end, she couldn't restrain herself. She took her cell phone out and sent a message to Muchen. 'Don't smoke.'

At that moment, Jingshu, who was on the side, received a call.

"What is it? I'm eating in Lumiere Jade House. Let's talk later…"

…

Muchen lit a cigarette in the washroom and puffed on it once before receiving Ziyue's message.

His fingers tapped the two words briefly, and his expression relaxed slightly before extinguishing the cigarette. He took a deep breath and turned to go into the private room.

However, his expression turned nasty as soon as he entered the private room.

Ziyue was the first to see him enter, and she immediately noticed his strange face.

Yunan, who was next to her, was the first to speak. "Mr. Qin."

That's right. Yunan was there, and he was sitting next to Ziyue.

Xia was on her other side.

It was only natural for Muchen to get angry when both seats next to Ziyue were taken.

Ziyue was afraid that Muchen couldn't control his temper like back in Country J, so she took the initiative to stand up and walk to him. "Why are you staring blankly? Come and sit."

However, Muchen didn't accept the olive branch she extended to him.

He didn't move. He only looked down at Ziyue.

Even though the smile on her face was slightly forced, her act was quite convincing.

Ziyue squeezed his hand and said softly, "I don't know why Yunan suddenly came here. Let's sit down and eat first. We'll talk about it at home, alright?"

Muchen saw her pleading gaze, so he complied. He followed her and sat down.

Xia and Jingshu looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

There was something strange happening between the couple.
