Marry Me Quick

Chapter 523

"I miss you and Zixi very much," Ziyue hurriedly replied after having an abrupt realization.

"You have the nerve." Muchen tsked coldly and lightly bit her ear. "You went to pursue something even though I

forbade it. Zixi is more obedient than you are."

Ziyue's voice trembled: "No, no I didn't..."

"I said no," the man released her. "if you listened to my words, why are you here now?"

The man caught her off guard and threw her on the bed.

Although the bed was very soft, Ziyue was taken aback by the impact: "Please let me explain…"

"It's too late for you to say anything," Muchen murmured. He reached out a finger to her lips.

"I'll have to punish you for your disobedience. He started removing the clothing from Ziyue's body.

"Hey, you... um..." Ziyue's unspoken words were swallowed.

I don't understand.

For instance, why did he show up so quickly? There ought to be a lot of follow-up issues to be resolved in Yunzhou

City, so why didn't he get together with Zixi?

She let the matter slide. Ziyue could worry about it later.

…

As a result, it was already nightfall when she woke up.

The sunset pierced through the window of the room she resided in and provided a warm glow. It filled the space

with golden light.

The room was filled with the steady breathing of her lover.

Ziyue gently rolled over, but the large hand around her waist tightened.

She turned to face Muchen in her immediate vicinity and couldn't resist brushing his cheeks.

He and I haven't spoken in about a month. He appears worn out…thin even.

When she touched his nose, her hand was seized.

His lids fluttered and groaned with a hoarse voice. He brought her hand to his lips for a kiss before asking, "What

time is it?"

Ziyue fumbled about in the vacant area next to her and, sure enough, found a watch.

The clothing and accessories on each other were dragged in all directions because Muchen was overly enthusiastic

earlier.

Her face reddened from the realization.

In the summer, the days are longer than the nights, and currently, the sun was still setting. "Nearly six o'clock."

"Qin Jueyin made an appointment for dinner at eight o'clock, and we can sleep for another hour before getting up."

Muchen looked sleepy, but he stretched out his hand to pull her in.

"I don't want to sleep anymore," Ziyue struggled.

She hadn't been able to sleep at all lately since she had been going to bed to wake up early and only to take short

naps in the afternoon.

Anyway, since she was going to go out later, she might as well get up and go for a walk first.

"Stay with me for a while, I haven't had an ounce of sleep since getting here because... I was worried..." His hoarse

voice gradually diminished to a whisper.

"It's been three or four days. Haven't you slept?"

Maybe it was worry…I spent more than ten hours on the road to reach country J.

No, Muchen was not a fool. He knows precisely why Yuchuan brought her to nation J, and he had no idea why he

was concerned.

Ziyue sighed. She lay down beside him since she couldn't bear to imagine his initial distress.

At seven o'clock, she got a bath for him. She woke the man subsequently afterwards.

"It's seven o'clock?" Muchen sat up from the bed.

His hair was very short, and even when he had just woken up, it was neat. He looked refreshed from the nap.

Ziyue hugged the quilt and sat to one side: "Yes."

He turned his head and glanced at Ziyue, reached out, and rubbed the top of his hair. She said in a coaxing tone,

"Go take a bath."

"You first." Ziyue blushed.

Following a few moments of steady eye contact, Muchen remarked, "Then let's go together."

Without giving Ziyue a chance to object, he rose from the bed, took Ziyue in his arms, and entered the bathroom.

The room had just been cleaned as the two exited the bathroom.

She and Muchen had already cleaned up the mess they had made.

...

Ziyue didn't get the chance to ask Muchen about Zixi until the two of them changed into new clothing and headed

outside.

She questioned Ziyue as soon as he entered the vehicle: "Did you come by yourself? Zixi is missing."

With a stern face, Muchen bent over to buckle her seatbelt and said, "Jingshu is looking after Zixi."

Hearing that, Ziyue had a little sense of relief.

She had the impression that Zixi would fare better staying in China than traveling to Country J.

"I apologise."

"I'll still return to Mogwin Castle even if you stayed. Don't give it too much thought." Deeply caressing her hair,

Muchen looked at her fondly.

"Just one thing, and you ought to pay for it. You shouldn't put too much trust in Yuchuan." He pinched her cheeks as

he said this.

"That hurts."

"Good. That will serve as a reminder." Muchen let go of his hand and drove in the direction of the location they had

agreed upon.

Internally, he was furious when he learned Ziyue had followed Yuchuan to nation J on the day he was released from

the prison facility. He kept his composure over the matter.

Since the situation had reached this stage, someone had to make a move on the board.

He would not rest if the issue between him and Yuchuan was not fully handled. More so than he anticipated,

Yuchuan had a lot more patience.

He first believed that he and Yuchuan had a tacit agreement of non-interference following what transpired two

years ago, but the truth revealed that this was merely an assumption.

Plus, his grandfather had a bit too much self-assurance.

Time was against him. He had to claim the first move.

With this form of competition, the winner needed to have the upper hand.

The 'old spot' Qin Jueyin stated was a restaurant downtown.

Ziyue believed that this type of setting was, in some ways, inappropriate for their stature.

She was really interested in how the two were related.
