Chapter 585
Ziyue was frightened at such a thought.
Yannan, Enyang, and Shichu. All of these people were closer to them than the last.
If the leader of Gricy was really someone they knew, could it be someone close to them?
Ziyue started to feel worried. She reached out to pour milk but accidentally spilled it because she was nervous.
The warm milk spilled on the table and then onto her before she came to her senses. She grabbed napkins to clean
it up at once.
Muchen had finished his breakfast. When he saw her like that, his brows furrowed. "What is there to fear with me
around?"
Muchen got up and walked over to pull Ziyue up. He took a towel from a servant and helped Ziyue clean up. His
actions were serious and meticulous.
Ziyue raised her eyes to look at him and said softly, "I spilled it on accident."
Muchen patted her dry before she went upstairs to change.
She didn't tell him what she was thinking about.
…
Since Yuchuan personally sent people over to help Muchen and Ziyue, they couldn't delay it any longer. They
packed their belongings and returned to Mogwin Castle.
They stayed in the room they previously were in.
The room was clean, and it was just like it had been. It was as though Muchen and Ziyue had been out briefly rather
than moved out for quite some time.
After the two returned to Mogwin Castle, Muchen received a call and had to go to the office.
Before he left, he reminded Ziyue. "Deliver food at noon."
"Alright." Ziyue was packing his clothes. She raised her head to glance at him before she continued what she was
doing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Muchen wasn't very pleased with her response. He was already at the door, but he turned back on purpose. He
pulled her into his arms and kissed her before leaving.
Ziyue glared at his figure. This stupid man…
When it was almost noon, Ziyue was cooking for Muchen. Zheng went to her.
"Mrs. Qin." Zheng greeted her respectfully at the kitchen entrance. He didn't walk into the kitchen and kept to his
boundaries.
Ziyue turned to look at him. "Is something wrong, Mr. Qin?"
Upon hearing it, Zheng replied respectfully, "The Earl instructed me to invite you to lunch with him, Mrs. Qin."
"Grandpa wants me to eat lunch with him?" Is Yuchuan showing goodwill to me?
But if he was, he should show it to Muchen instead.
However…
She looked down at the food she was making. She had to deliver it to Muchen.
Nonetheless, they had just returned today and would live in the same place as Yuchuan. It wasn't good for her to
turn him down.
"I'll head there soon. I'm afraid I have to trouble you to make this trip, Mr. Qin." Ziyue put down what she had in her
hands and turned to nod at Zheng.
After Zheng left, Ziyue called Muchen.
…
Numerous people began to stir because of the imminent presidential election.
Many came to Muchen to get his opinions.
The royal family needed money. Whether it was for the army, discretionary expenses, or foreign affairs, they were
all economically related. Of course, this included making contact with large companies.
Everything was linked in countless ways.
So, some large companies needed to fall in line at this time.
When Country J was viewed broadly, no corporation was more influential than LK Group. Therefore, LK Group's
trends were like a weather vane.
One morning, Muchen's secretary turned down a few batches of people who came to make discreet inquiries on his
behalf.
Additional work like that was a real headache.
At the time, the secretary's cell phone rang.
It was her personal cell phone.
When she looked at it, she realized it was an unknown number.
The secretary was doubtful for a moment before she answered the call. "Hello. May I ask who this is?"
After she said it, the other party on the phone was momentarily silent. A man's voice rang. "Are you the owner of
this number? I received a call from this number one week ago."
One week ago?
The secretary never used her personal cell phone for work calls. Only her friends and family knew the number.
She suddenly recalled. One week ago, she had lent her phone to the president's wife.
That day, Mrs. Qin had come to deliver food to the president. She said she had forgotten her cell phone and asked
to use the secretary's cell phone.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't the one who called you. My friend used my cell phone to dial the number."
The secretary was feeling slightly baffled. If Mrs. Qin had called her friend and her friend didn't pick up, she would
have tried again at home, right?
So, why is this man calling her?
Mrs. Qin can't be… cheating, can she?
Once the secretary thought about it, she was instantly alarmed.
It was a terrifying thought. The secretary must have misjudged the situation.
"I understand. Thank you." The man on the other end of the phone said. It was as though he wasn't feeling very
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwell. His voice was weak, but she could feel that he was gentle.
The secretary was about to hang up when she heard the person say, "Can I trouble you to inform your friend that
all is well with me?"
The call ended after that.
The doubt in the secretary's heart grew.
She was a little preoccupied after that when she had to take minutes for a meeting.
When she thought about it, she felt Mrs. Qin wasn't indecisive and wouldn't cheat. Perhaps she forgot to call her
friend at home.
Mrs. Qin had been delivering food to Mr. Qin every day recently. She should be coming today. I can just let her know
later.
But when it was close to noon, she didn't see Mrs. Qin.
The secretary looked at the time. Doesn't Mrs. Qin usually come at this time?
When she delivered documents to Muchen, she asked, "Mr. Qin, is Mrs. Qin coming to deliver food today?"
Muchen didn't raise his head. "Mm."
She respected yet feared the president. She glanced at his expressionless face and didn't dare to ask anymore. She
turned to leave.
She turned to depart after leaving the documents but bumped into a chair in front of the desk because she had
something on her mind.
'Bang.' The piercing sound suddenly rang within the office.
Muchen suddenly lifted his head and looked at her. "What's up with you today? You've been absentminded. If you
don't want to work, you can quit. You can write your resignation letter now, and I'll accept it immediately."
When the secretary heard what he said, she trembled and shook her head. "That's not the case. I want to work."
She suspected Ziyue might be cheating, so she didn't have the nerve to look at Muchen when she spoke.
Muchen's black eyes gazed at her sharply. "What are you hiding from me?"
The secretary had worked with him for a long time. He had long realized that she was hiding something from him!
But he didn't know what this careful and prudent secretary had the nerve to hide from him.
