Chapter 524
A waiter approached the two as soon as they arrived.
"Good day, sir."
After saying this, the waiter ushered Muchen and Ziyue inside.
The waiter gave off the impression that he knew Muchen based on his conduct.
Ziyue didn't get a chance to ask Muchen this question until after the two had sat down. "What kind of bond do you
share with Qin Jueyin? He claimed to be your uncle. Do you two get along well?"
Muchen frowned a little and pondered the topic for a moment before responding, "He's, my brother."
There was a tinge of humiliation in this tone.
His remarks baffled Ziyue.
He refers to Qin Jueyin as his brother? According to Qin Jueyin, Muchen had to refer to him as uncle.
This relationship was a little complicated.
Muchen ignored her when she asked more questions.
By chance, Qin Jueyin had already arrived.
Miss Ziyue, Mu Chen. As soon as he seated himself, Qin Jueyin grinned and welcomed them.
Qin Jueyin sported a pink blouse that was a few sizes too small for him. It was inconspicuously from a lady, but he
wore it regardless.
Ziyue could only nod politely: "Hello."
Regardless of how they were connected, it was correct to say that their connection was anything but typical.
The two of them couldn't possibly form a secret 'old spot' without some sort of history together.
However, Muchen gave Qin Jueyin absolutely no attention.
Qin Jueyin didn't appear to give it much thought, though.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe firmly sat down and immediately started talking to himself, saying, "This is the first time I met Miss Ziyue, she is
astonishingly lovely. I always assumed that you were going to fall into Gu Hanyan's clutches, but I didn't anticipate...
"
Muchen eventually turned to face him when he mentioned Gu Hanyan and inquired, "Have you seen her recently?"
"Miss Gu? Why yes." The spoken Mandarin by Qin Jueyin wasn't exactly formal. He mispronounced the name of Miss
Gu several times.
However, Ziyue didn't find this amusing.
Ziyue asked aloud, "What do you mean?"
Hearing Ziyue's question, Qin Jueyin said, "Do you want to see her? I'll get her to reserve a date."
Ziyue was perplexed when she heard this. She turned to Muchen to gauge his thoughts on this.
Ziyue left Mogwin Castle after Gu Hanyan vanished, and Muchen stayed to seek it for a while. However, something
happened to her in Yunzhou City, so he hastily returned.
This was all the intel on Gu Hanyan.
This time, Yuchuan withheld the news about Muchen while releasing the information on Gu Hanyan as a ruse.
She didn't know if Yuchuan had just come up with this idea in the morning or whether he had already spoken to Gu
Hanyan before.
Gu Hanyan's comments, which Qin Jueyin cited, proved that he had connections with Mogwin Castle; otherwise, he
would not have suggested that he could assist Ziyue in setting up a meeting if she wished to see her.
Ziyue received a comforting gaze from Muchen, but she remained silent.
The tone at the table shifted after when the subject of Gu Hanyan's whereabouts was brought up. Qin Jueyin picked
up the change in atmosphere.
He appeared to understand something as he arched his brow. He shifted the subject towards Ziyue.
"You last visited Country J when I was in another city giving a speech at a university there. I didn't have time to
return to see you, and I missed the opportunity to meet your child. Whereabout is your son, by the way?"
After speaking, his eyes swept back and forth between the couple.
However, Ziyue was overwhelmed by the words 'child'.
"He's young. I'm afraid he won't be acclimatized to the new surroundings." Muchen brushed over the topic lightly.
Before Qin Jueyin could intervene, his cell phone rang.
He answered the phone with an impatient expression, but his tone was rather intimate: "Honey, I'm very busy now.
I'll meet tonight sweetums..."
When Ziyue heard this, she couldn't help but stare up at Qin Jueyin. His demeanor reminded her of Jingshu.
I guess being a player runs in the family.
Ziyue was right. She confirmed Qin Jueyin was indeed a womanizer.
Because during the whole meal, Qin Jueyin answered no less than five phone calls, all of which were from women.
He called them pet names such as 'baby' and 'sweetums' to avoid using the wrong name.
Muchen brought her food: "Try it, I used to be in country J, and I often came here to eat. It tastes good."
Ziyue glanced at him and knew that Muchen was trying to dissuade her from Qin Jueyin's antics.
This dinner was delicious.
Qin Jueyin quoted a lot, and he kept talking non-stop. Except for Gu Hanyan, the rest of the conversation was just
small talk.
When the dinner was over, Qin Jueyin announced: "I have a date this evening, so toodles. Don't have too much fun
without me."
Ziyue couldn't help but express her feelings: "He reminds me of Jingshu."
Hearing this, Muchen hesitated briefly before closing the car door, then turned to face Ziyue, saying, "Jing Shu is
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnot like him."
Then he told Ziyue how he and Qin Jueyin became acquainted.
"When I met him, he was being pursued and killed by loan sharks. Because I was in a terrible mood that day, I
assisted him in dealing with a situation..." Muchen took a breather.
Ziyue's thoughts were racing: "Then he would identify you as the elder brother?"
Muchen's face darkened abruptly: "It didn't take long for grandpa to identify him. He is grandfather's illegitimate
son."
Ziyue couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't this a coincidence?"
Muchen sniffed bitterly before opening the car door and climbing inside.
Ziyue entered from the opposite side, glanced at his filthy face, and boldly questioned, "So, is he truly your uncle?"
Muchen turned to face her, narrowed his dark brows, and murmured softly, "Ziyue!"
"You mentioned he's not like Jingshu; what's the difference?" Ziyue promptly shifted the topic.
"Jing Shu used to be fickle, that's his character. As for Qin Jueyin..."
He paused for a moment before declaring, "He has no principles."
Ziyue nodded. She knew what Muchen meant.
….
Muchen escorted her to the river to admire the night scenery before returning to Mogwin Castle.
No matter how lovely a foreign country's night scene looks, it was not Yunzhou City.
"I'd want to contact Jingshu." Ziyue whispered as she rested on the railing.
For a brief while, Muchen was surprised and remembered she was missing Zixi. He remarked, "It's morning in
Country Z, but go ahead."
When Ziyue heard it, her eyes brightened up.
Muchen took out his phone to contact Jingshu.
