Chapter 584
Bessalyn couldn't help but size Ziyue up attentively.
What on earth does Muchen like about this woman?
She had to admit that Ziyue was prettier than many celebrities, but Ziyue had an ordinary family background. It seemed like Ziyue didn't have any outstanding talents, and her family was in a mess.
Bessalyn was baffled.
She felt defeated because Muchen hadn't looked at her since she had gotten into the car, so she came up with an excuse and got out of the vehicle at a random intersection.
When the car left, Ziyue glanced at Bessalyn through the rearview mirror.
She turned and looked at Muchen. "You didn't say a word to her since she got into the car. No matter what, she's the daughter of your future business partner."
To Ziyue, it was great that Muchen refused to get close to any woman.
But Muchen had wanted Bessalyn to sit in the front. It was unreasonable of him.
Being unreasonable would only hurt him and others. It was a flaw.
Muchen sneered. "I hate self-righteous women like her."
Previously, he had invited Marni to LK Group to discuss their partnership. He only found out at the last minute that Bessalyn was there instead of Marni.
At the time, he had wanted to get rid of Bessalyn.
If not for Marni's sake, he would have chased her away.
Ziyue quietened when she heard what he said.
In the past, Muchen would never directly express his likes and dislikes.
He was introverted and usually wouldn't say anything that revealed his feelings.
Lately, Ziyue could clearly feel that he had changed.
These changes were, by and large, the opposite of what he used to be.
Ziyue decided not to discuss Bessalyn with him anymore. She changed the topic. "Why did you agree to move back to Mogwin Castle?"
Muchen turned to glance at her, and his gaze dimmed. "It's safer there."
Enyang had found out about the villa that Muchen and Ziyue were living in. They had rushed in the other day, so it was unsafe.
Ziyue thought of the same thing when she heard what he said.
But she thought of Shichu again.
She hung her head and said, "Oh." She didn't say anything else.
Beside her, Muchen was silent for a long time.
But seconds later, he held Ziyue's hand and pulled her toward him, so she fell into his arms. He clasped her chin, and his voice was slightly dark. "What are you thinking about?"
Ziyue was startled but snapped out of it. She mumbled, "Nothing much…"
Muchen did baffling things like these now. He would suddenly pull her into his arms.
After she said it, she saw Muchen look at her suspiciously.
Every time she showed the slightest sign of displeasure or disinterest, he would doubt what she said.
He was very suspicious now.
"I'm serious. I'm not thinking about anything." Ziyue buried her head in his arms after that. She didn't look at him, and her voice was muffled. "I'm tired. I want to sleep for a while."
Upon seeing her lie in his arms and say she wanted to sleep for a while, he swallowed his words. He reached out to hug her firmly and turned to look out the window. His expression was hard to fathom.
…
Although Muchen had said he wanted to move back to Mogwin Castle, he didn't do anything after he returned.
Two days. Three days. And on the fourth day…
Zheng came.
Ziyue had been staying home and hadn't had much to do lately. She woke up as early as Muchen.
When she went downstairs, she saw Zheng standing before Muchen with his head hung as they spoke. A few bodyguards stood behind him.
When Zheng heard Ziyue coming down the stairs, he looked in her direction and greeted her with a smile. "Mrs. Qin." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Ziyue raised her brows. Did the sun rise in the west today?
Zheng had called her 'Mrs. Qin.'
Ziyue nodded and walked to sit beside Muchen. She smiled, "Why are you here, Mr. Qin?"
"The Earl wanted me to bring people to move your belongings. He often talks about you after you moved out."
Zheng was like a wolf in sheep's clothing. He said such hollow words so sincerely.
Ziyue smiled but didn't say anything.
Zheng wasn't embarrassed. He turned and looked at Muchen. "Master Muchen, should we help you pack your belongings now?"
"Sure," Muchen answered simply before he went for breakfast with Ziyue.
Ziyue turned to look at Zheng's figure before she looked at Muchen again.
Although his personality had changed slightly, he hadn't lost his craftiness as a businessman.
At the banquet, he had promised Yuchuan to move back, but he didn't do anything. He wanted to wait for Yuchuan to take the initiative and send people over to help them before he would return.
Yuchuan and Muchen were intriguing people. They wanted to force the other to be the first to yield.
But she didn't understand why Yuchuan was rushing them to return to the castle.
He didn't hesitate to give in so that they could return.
"Why does Grandpa want us to move back into the castle?" Previously, Yuchuan and Muchen would have worn each other down for quite some time.
Muchen looked down and ate his breakfast earnestly. He swallowed what was in his mouth before he said, "The next presidential election will be held next month."
Ziyue had almost forgotten about the presidential election.
After all, she wasn't a Country J native, so she didn't pay attention.
"What does this have to do with Grandpa?"
"We support different people," Muchen explained slowly, "it will be the pride of the Mogwin family regardless of which supported candidate wins the presidential election."
Ziyue was astonished. She hadn't thought about it at all.
She stopped what she was doing and pondered. She said, "I read online that Gricy would interfere in the presidential election, but I'm unsure if it's true."
But she felt that it was possible.
She had also previously read online that Gricy used living people for drug experiments. It was confirmed later on.
A vast international underworld organization could interfere in the presidential election.
Upon hearing it, Muchen raised his head and looked at her. "If that really happens, I'll look forward to it."
To them, Gricy was a hidden disaster.
The people around them were more or less involved in Gricy, but no one knew who was the leader of
Gricy.
As far as they knew, Shichu, Enyang, Yannan…
These were influential people in Gricy.
Could the leader of Gricy also be somebody they knew?
