Chapter 556
When Ziyue arrived at the place they agreed to meet, she found Shichu waiting for her.
"Have you been waiting for long?" ZIyue grinned apologetically.
She was trapped in a traffic jam for a moment, which caused her to be delayed. However, Shichu merely grinned
back at her.
"Don't worry! I just came in as well."
Ziyue glanced at the empty coffee cup, indicating that he had been waiting for a while.
"Why are you here?" She asked as she took a seat opposite him.
"I'm here for a conference," Shichu responded while waving at one of the waiters to approach them.
When he received the menu, he handed it to her. "Order up."
Ziyue grabbed the opportunity and began to order both.
"How are you guys?" Shichu asked after they finished ordering their food.
He intended to ask how 'she' was doing, but the words came out wrong.
"We're doing okay. How about you?" Xiyue responded.
"Nothing changed for me." The two felt like they had limited conversations, and soon the dishes were served.
…
Meanwhile, in LK Group, Muchen was greeted by his secretary after leaving a meeting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Where would you like to have lunch, Mr. Qin."
"You should go off on your own," Muchen replied as he pulled his phone out to call Ziyue.
He was surprised that no one picked up, even though he called a few times.
Muchen's heart fell.
A servant picked up when he called the villa's number.
"Yes, Mr. Qin."
"Where is ZIyue?"
"The lady has left the house."
"Where did she go?"
"I..." The servants sounded trapped between a rock and a tight place. After all, she was a servant – she had no
authority to ask Ziyue where she was going.
Muchen hung up before the servant could muster a response.
Chuan approached him.
"Good afternoon, sir." Chuan started, but Muchen walked past him as if he did not see Chuan.
Chuan blinked slowly, surprised by Muchen's apparent rudeness.
Muchen returned to his office while dialing Ziyue's phone number to no avail.
Muchen felt his already turbulent emotions roiling even more.
"Find out where Ziyue is." He growled into his phone after calling his subordinate.
By the time he was done with his calls, his secretary had returned.
"Mr. Qin, this is for you." She handed him a brown paper bag.
"Why are you back? Didn't I let you off for lunch?"
She stepped back in fear when she saw how upset he was, then quickly dropped the paper bag in his hands.
"Someone brought it to the receptionist and told us it's for you."
"What is it?"
"We don't know. The person told us you'll know what to do once you look inside the paper bag." Although they could
not verify the bag's contents, the person who handed it to them sounded sincere.
Muchen glared at his secretary as he grabbed the paper bag from her. He tipped the paper bag so the contents
would fall into his hands.
The secretary observed his actions, but when she saw his stern face bunch up with rage, she took a step back in
fear.
Muchen felt a vein rise on his temple as he glared daggers at the people in the photo.
When she detected some movement, the secretary turned around and saw Chuan.
Due to their close relationship, Chuan raised his brows silently, asking the secretary for updates, but the secretary
was too afraid to speak. She could merely gesture at the photograph in Muchen's hands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChuan frowned as he approached Muchen from the back, but his frown quickly melted into horror when he saw the
people in the photograph.
It was Ziyue and Shichu, having the time of their life catching up with one another.
Muchen scrunched the photograph and tossed it aside, leaving the building with Chuan rushing after him.
Muchen dashed out of the office building and got to his car without considering that Chuan was trailing after him.
Muchen knew the restaurant – he had one mission in mind, which was to stop the reunion.
...
Ziyue and Shichu were bidding each other goodbye in front of the restaurant when a car stopped before them.
Ziyue glanced at the driver, who was getting out of the car and froze. Before she could speak, Muchen opened the
backseat door, picked her up, and dropped her inside the car.
Ziyue screamed in shock, but Muchen did not care as he slammed the car door.
Ziyue stared out of the car window as Muchen approached Shichu. Nothing good would come from this encounter.
She tugged on the car door handle and quickly realized that Muchen had locked the doors.
Ziyue's heart plummeted. "Muchen, stop it!" She yelled, all the while pounding on the car window.
Muchen heard her screaming but pretended not to.
She watched in horror as he approached Shichu as if he wanted to tell the doctor something, but she could not
hear their exchange.
Although they did not get into a brawl, Muchen's words must have frightened Shichu. When Muchen turned around
towards the car, Ziyue saw that Shichu's face was as white as a sheet.
