Chapter 652 Make Sure She Returns Home Safely

When they arrived at Mogwin Castle, the sun had risen, and the sky was painted blue. The tranquil and warm atmosphere radiated through their surroundings.

Before they entered, Ziyue saw several people walking out of the castle. After a closer look, she finally realized the person right in the middle was Yuchuan.

She couldn't believe that the first person she met in the early morning was Yuchuan.

She turned around and glanced at Muchen. He exchanged a comforting nod in her direction and held her hands to guide her inside.

When they walked closer to him, Muchen greeted him, "Grandpa."

Ziyue followed suit and greeted him the same way.

When he saw them, Yuchuan's brows were knitted into a tight knot.

"Where were you all night?" Yuchuan shifted his gaze from Muchen to Ziyue with contempt written all over his face before he looked away.

Ziyue dropped her head and stared at her shoes. That was when she realized her shoes were filled with mud.

She almost forgot that they were up in the mountains last night. Their clothes were crumpled and unpresentable, and their shoes were also dirty. They were in a mess.

She was flustered by how they looked and couldn't blame Yuchuan for glaring at them condescendingly.

Mogwin Family was a noble family with strict rules, so there was no doubt Yuchuan was upset when he saw them in a messy state.

Muchen stood firmly before him as he solemnly articulated, "There was a company gathering last night which ended late. We spent the night elsewhere."

Yuchuan was evidently displeased by Muchen's action but had to leave for his appointments. Ziyue noticed that Qin Zheng, who was standing on the side, had been checking the time to remind him about his schedules.

"Don't forget what day it is today. Stay alert, and don't cause any trouble. I'll leave first as I have something planned."

Yuchuan had targeted his words at Muchen. However, he looked over Ziyue patronizingly once more before he left.

Ziyue was taken aback at the way his eyes glazed over her figure.

When they returned to their room, Ziyue asked Muchen, "I feel that Grandpa has a bad impression of me."

Muchen was taking off his shirt in front of the mirror. And without stopping his actions, he gave her a meaningful grin, "Doesn't he have a bad impression of everyone?"

He knew his grandpa better than anyone else.

He was egoistic, with a strong emphasis on protecting their reputation. He was stubborn with his ways and despised anyone who didn't align with his requirements.

Ziyue could feel the deeply-seated resentment Muchen had towards his grandfather.

She shrugged off the thought and went to the washroom to turn on the water faucet. She had no intention of saying anything more.

The resentment between Muchen and Yuchuan couldn't be easily resolved. They are people with outstanding abilities who couldn't accept their differences, and neither could they withstand having to be in the same space as each other. Nonetheless, their relationship never fell apart.

Ziyue didn't have the foggiest idea about the nature of their actual relationship.

She only knew Muchen cared for Yuchuan despite his aloof attitude towards him.

…

After their bath, they had breakfast together. Muchen then got ready to leave the house.

It wasn't a work day, so the only reason Muchen would be in such a rush would be the presidential election.

Muchen held onto his tie as he walked down the stairs.

Ziyue walked to him and took the tie from him. She wrapped it around his neck and tied it neatly before adjusting his collar. After pausing briefly, she said, "Stay away from these matters next time."

But in her heart, she knew it was difficult to stray away from these political matters once a person obtained a significant status and power. Nevertheless, Ziyue hoped he wouldn't take part in such issues.

Ziyue understood intuitively that Muchen would encounter more difficulties leaving once he started becoming more involved in the political landscape.

Muchen's dark beaded eyes stared at her with reassurance. He held her hands tightly, comforting her, "Don't worry."

Ziyue locked eyes with him momentarily before she shifted her eyes away and nodded.

The next moment, she could feel his breath close to her face. At the turn of her head, her eyes caught onto his, but this time, their noses were almost touching. He was demanding a kiss from her.

Muchen didn't spare a second of hesitation to kiss her when she turned around.

After the kiss, he patted her head, and, using his gentlest tone, he said, "I'll have to leave now."

Ziyue had a steely glint in her eyes as she replied, "Alright."

Why did he act this way early in the morning?

Muchen didn't move away and continued, "Aren't you going to call me darling?"

Ziyue's eyes flashed with nervousness, "What happened to you? You're acting weird."

Muchen's eyes lingered on her with a strange gaze. Shortly after, he retreated his hands and washed away the emotions in his eyes, leaving an indiscernible smile. He said to her, "Don't women like men who are gentle and kind? Do you hate it?"

Ziyue was rendered speechless.

"I like men who are demanding and unpredictable like you. Are you satisfied now? Hurry up and leave!" Ziyue couldn't bear another second of his flirtatious attitude and pushed him out of the door as she spoke.

Muchen no longer clung to her when he left.

On the other hand, Chuan looked exhausted and pale today. He must've not rested well after their gathering last night.

Although Ziyue had stayed up all night, Chuan was in a worse state than her. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Sitting inside the car, she worriedly said, "Why don't we let the driver take us there."

Chuan shook his head and rejected her offer, "I'm alright. There's no need to call the driver."

Soon after, he started the car and drove towards the airport.

"How important is this person such that Muchen would ask me to help him receive them from the airport?" Ziyue was eager to know who this person was.

Chuan replied, "You'll know when we reach the airport. Honestly, I didn't get much information about this person as well."

It was reasonable that it was kept as a secret if they held such importance to Muchen.

It was a long drive to the airport. Ziyue took a nap as she was feeling drowsy.

She faintly heard Chuan's conversation on the phone as she was sleeping.

"Yes, I'm at the airport… I'll settle it… definitely…. boss…"

Ziyue got up and massaged her arms, which were feeling sore. She then turned her head to look towards Chuan with an overwhelming curiosity.

When Chuan noticed she was awake, the words he was about to say were swallowed back in immediately.

He looked at Ziyue and said, "Boss, Mrs. Qin and I will go in now."

Ziyue knew he was on the call with Muchen, so she didn't interrupt them.

After a moment of silence, Chuan wanted to ask if he should pass the call to Ziyue when he heard Muchen's voice.

His voice was hoarse when he said, "You can go in now. Remember to make sure she gets home safely. Don't make a single mistake."
