Marry Me Quick

Chapter 641 Follow Him

Ke glanced at her. "What are you doing? Like, actually?"

"I wasn't merely making conversation. I was being honest." Ziyue leaned against the backrest. She fluttered her eyelashes at Ke, making her look innocent and sincere.

Ke rolled her eyes at her, inciting a laugh from Ziyue. Ke thought talking reason with Ziyue over this topic was meaningless, so she said nothing. She drove to a secluded area and parked. Not long after, the man that confessed to Hanyan appeared in the parking lot.

Ziyue's eyes came into focus, and she said, "Follow him."

"Are you sure Carlos is going to look for Hanyan?" Ke turned to focus on Ziyue.

Carlos was the man's name.

"I'm sure he will. The moment he arrived at the luncheon, he called for a drink; it shows he usually enjoys libation. Considering his age and success, it's evident he had worked hard. From another point of view, it also means that he receives more pressure than those his age as he is more affluent than his peers. People who are stressed tend to be easily triggered. And he had drunk quite a bit. He will definitely look for Hanyan after that episode," Ziyue deduced as she watched through slit eyes.

"Really?" Ke was dumbstruck by her analysis. She had spent much time with Ziyue since she came but had never seen this side of her. The confidence and determination radiating off her deep-set eyes were no different from Muchen's. It was unlike the Ziyue she knew, who was no different from the average woman despite her dissimilar appearance and outstanding figure.

"Stop gawking! Let's go!" Ziyue cried when she saw Carlos leaving.

"Yes, ma'am!" Ke nodded and started the car, following Carlos.

Carlos hadn't brought a driver, so he was drunk driving. Fortunately, he wasn't too drunk because his driving was still steady.

Ziyue and Ke followed behind him for quite a distance before he stopped at a five-star hotel in the city. He remained in his car for a moment before exiting. He looked around habitually, and Ziyue noted darkness in his expression.

"Is Hanyan staying in this hotel?" Ke asked.

"I'm not sure," Ziyue shook her head in reply.

Ke looked at her suspiciously.

Noting this, Ziyue explained, "I'm not sure, but she will come. She has an event here today, but it's scheduled for tonight. So, I can't be sure if she's here already."

Ke nodded. "Did you research all this? You could've told me to do them. Why did you research it yourself?"

"It's not a big matter," Ziyue said as she got out of the car. "Let's go in first."

Ziyue wasn't as busy as Muchen, and it wasn't hard to find out Hanyan's schedule. She didn't have to bother Ke over such a small matter. Also, she wanted to do it herself.

The two found a booth in the hotel's café and sat for a whole afternoon.

At around six in the evening, Hanyan entered with her entourage.

Ziyue prepared to go over, but her phone rang at this time.

It was from Muchen.

"Where are you?" His cold voice rang from the other end.

Ziyue pursed her lips and replied, "I'm shopping with Ke."

He told me to go shopping with her.

Before Ziyue could put on a show to convince him, Muchen spoke calmly, "I'm hungry."

The short phrase was like a punch to her gut.

Muchen continued, "I didn't eat lunch."

He sounded detached but precise, yet Ziyue could hear a trace of sadness. It moved Ziyue's heart. She

couldn't say anything in reply.

"Is something wrong?" Ke worriedly asked when she noticed Ziyue hadn't said anything in a while.

Ziyue pressed her lips together. I can't tell Ke what Muchen said…

She said something to Muchen and turned to Ke, "Muchen has something important to discuss with me. Let's head back."

"Okay. We should hurry back then." Ke became anxious when she heard it was something important.

…

Muchen was home when Ziyue arrived at Mogwin Castle but was submerged in work in his study.

Ziyue walked up to his desk and placed a hand on the document he was perusing.

Muchen lifted his head. "Are you finally home?"

Ziyue was taken aback. He told me to go out, and now he's blaming me for not coming home sooner?

"Don't you know women don't get tired when shopping and don't want to go home?"

Ziyue leaned toward him and raised an eyebrow in challenge.

Muchen watched her when she explained herself. Once she was done, he reached for her face and grabbed it before landing a kiss on her.

His action stunned Ziyue. What trick is he pulling?

Both were slightly out of breath when they separated, and Ziyue's face was red.

"I wasn't blaming you for coming home later; I'm just starving," Muchen said seriously. He sounded like all the servants in the castle were decorations.

Ziyue didn't bother to rebut. I doubt he realizes how shameless he is.

"You could just say you miss me instead of using such an unreasonable excuse…" Ziyue mumbled.

Sometimes, Muchen is so immature. It's only been a day; he can't have missed me that much.

Ziyue might have thought so but still made her way to the kitchen.

She could only wait to read about Hanyan in the news tomorrow. It wasn't her time to shine yet. It wasn't hard for a man of Carlos' caliber to take down a woman. Ziyue believed Carlos would succeed. She only needed to wait for the news to fester, and Hanyan wouldn't be able to make a comeback in the entertainment industry.

Once Hanyan's reputation hit rock bottom, Gricy would doubt her abilities. There would be nowhere for her to turn then.

A slimy feeling slid down her spine as she thought about her plan. Suddenly, she felt it was evil of her to devise something like this. But she couldn't not because she hated Hanyan.

"The veggies will disintegrate if you continue to wash them like that." Muchen's voice sounded from behind her.

Ziyue snapped her head around and saw Muchen with his arms crossed behind her. She hadn't realized he had come down. She looked down at the vegetables she was washing and saw that they were shredded.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
