Chapter 540
Wu and Yuchuan had expressions of disbelief after listening to Muchen.
Wu was not familiar with Muchen's character.
However, Yuchuan knew Muchen well enough to understand that he would not let Wu off that easily.
Thus, Yuchuan considered and felt that Muchen respected him. That could be why he did not confront Wu before
him.
His expression softened slightly as he thought about this.
"Since Muchen allowed you to leave, you should head out first."
After Yuchuan confirmed that she was allowed to leave, and Muchen remained silent, Wu finally felt comfortable
leaving the room.
As soon as she left, the room's atmosphere turned oppressive.
Yuchuan furrowed his brow. Before he could speak, Muchen said, "I would like to move out. This place is far from LK
Group. It's too much hassle."
Yuchuan thought Muchen would carry on where they left off before. He was surprised that this was all Muchen had
to say.
Thus, Yuchuan replied in disbelief, "What?"
"I said I would like to move out for now and stay somewhere nearer to the company," Muchen explained patiently. It
was rare for him not to show annoyance before Yuchuan.
Yuchuan recalled that Muchen did not seem angry with Wu earlier and relaxed slightly. However, he suddenly
remembered what happened in Qin Jueyin's room before this and knitted his brows again.
He believed Muchen had noticed his motive and intended to move out of the castle with a lousy excuse to protect
Ziyue.

given in.
At the same time, he also sensed he should not force Muchen's hand.
After considering for a while, he replied evenly, "You have grown up, so you are free to choose where you want to
live, and I won't get involved. However…"
His tone suddenly changed, and he looked at Muchen sternly. He noticed Muchen's calm expression and continued,
"The presidential election will be coming soon, and the situation outside is not tranquil. I'll assign you a team of elite
bodyguards."
Although Yuchuan sounded concerned, Muchen knew he did this to have people continue watching him.
However, Muchen did not care.
After all, one could never predict who would win in the end.
"Thank you, Grandpa. We will move out tonight." Muchen left right after that without bothering to say goodbye.
Yuchuan was displeased but chose to stay silent.
…
After bathing, Ziyue lay in bed to wait for Muchen's return.
However, Muchen did not show up even after waiting a long time, which worried her.
As she was about to look for him, she suddenly heard the maid's voice from outside the room.
"Good evening, Master Muchen."
"Is Mrs. Qin asleep?"
Muchen lowered his voice.
As Ziyue tried to pay more attention to the conversation, Muchen suddenly opened the door and walked in.
He paused at the door briefly as he looked at the bed. When he found Ziyue seated in it, he locked the door and
walked to her.
Ziyue watched Muchen as he approached the bed and took a seat. She tossed her blanket at him, shuffled towards
him, and asked, "What took you so long to return?"
Ziyue looked clean and bright after her bath. Furthermore, her pink pajamas and gentle tone made her seem soft
and adorable.
Muchen could not resist pinching her cheek gently. Ziyue frowned and tried to hide, but Muchen reached out to
squeeze her cheek.
In the end, Ziyue had to slap his hand away before he would explain. "There were things that needed to be taken
care of, so I returned late. However, we don't have to sleep here tonight."
Ziyue looked at him with a shocked expression. "Why? What happened?"
Muchen looked at her and answered thoughtfully, "I wish to move somewhere closer to the company. It's more
convenient that way."
Ziyue frowned and tilted her head. "Do you think I believe that?"
"It doesn't matter if you do. We're moving out tonight." Muchen immediately got up and started packing.
Seeing this, Ziyue was finally convinced that he was serious about leaving here tonight.
Initially, she thought to ask him again about what happened, but he obviously would not tell her.
Thus, Ziyue could only give up questioning him.
She got up to change her clothes and wanted to help Muchen pack their things.
However, as soon as she got close, Muchen extended his long arm and said, "Sit there."
Ziyue snorted softly and muttered, "It feels strange."
Still, she was touched.
From primary school through high school, and even when Su Youcheng made her go overseas for further studies,

That was until she met Muchen.
He did everything he could for her.
He would pour his heart into it no matter how big or minor the issue was.
Ziyue could not help but be touched.
Because of Muchen, she could remember her past and find them less painful.
Whether it was the pain of losing her father, being framed by someone, or being abandoned by the Su family…
Muchen gradually healed the hurt and loss she suffered.
Happiness did not mean that one had no resentment and hatred. Instead, the warmth and gratefulness
Suddenly, a maid's voice disrupted Ziyue's thoughts. "The Qin Family's butler is here, Master Muchen."
Ziyue had to face reality. Although she was happy with her life now, Yuchuan was a pressing concern.
He was a relative but did not feel like one.
Muchen stopped packing and stood up.
Ziyue also got up and said, "I'll go."
Then, she ran to the door. Her slippers made muffled noises with her every step.
She opened the door and saw two maids standing beside it. Zheng was behind them.
The maids moved aside after Ziyue opened the door, revealing Zheng.
Ziyue tilted her head slightly and looked at Zheng with confusion. "What is the matter, Mr. Qin?"
"I came here to inform Master Muchen that the car and bodyguards are ready. May I ask when he is planning to
leave?" Zheng glanced at Ziyue briefly as he spoke before looking down respectfully.
Ziyue was surprised. Did Muchen meet with Yuchuan to tell him he would move out?
Moreover, Yuchuan not only agreed but prepared a car and bodyguards.
Why does it sound too good to be true?
Ziyue did not trust him.
