Chapter 657 She Feared You Would Misunderstand

It seemed like Chuan didn't expect Ziyue to want to talk to him about returning to Country J.

His expression flickered momentarily, but it passed in the blink of an eye.

When he spoke, his expression was firm. "Boss wants me to stay in Yunzhou City."

Before leaving Country J, Muchen had told Chuan not to return but to stay in Yunzhou City and take care of Ziyue, Zixi, and Muchen's properties.

Ziyue felt Chuan's hesitance.

She thought of something and suddenly smiled.

"Aren't you angry, Chuan? He told you to send me back without a word, but I think he didn't say anything to you, right? He sent you away at such a critical juncture…"

Ziyue didn't finish her sentence. She wanted Chuan to figure out what she was implying.

Chuan furrowed his brows.

To be honest, he was pretty angry.

How could the boss send me away at such a critical moment?

Doesn't he believe in my abilities? Or is he not as satisfied with me as before?

"Alright, I'm going to be with Zixi for his afternoon nap. Go back and think about it. When you've made your decision, tell me when you're leaving. I'll send you off."

After Ziyue finished speaking, she slowly went upstairs.

Muchen was capable, but she was still worried.

Although Ke was still in Country J, she was a girl and was limited in various ways. Chuan was a man. It was simpler and more convenient for men to get along with each other.

…

In the end, as Ziyue had expected, Chuan decided to return to Country J.

Muchen didn't expect it either. He had confiscated Ziyue's passport but not Chuan's. It was a miscalculation on his part.

After Chuan decided, he made preparations. He went to Lumiere Jade House and dealt with some matters. He would head back to Country J in less than two days.

Ziyue didn't have anything to bring to Muchen. She took a few of Zixi's drawings and gave them to Chuan so he could take them to Muchen. She also gave Chuan some pictures of her and Zixi.

The women in Country J were tall and sensual. What if Muchen's thoughts went astray?

She had to make him always think of her and Zixi.

Therefore, when she gave the photos to Chuan, she said, "Give these pictures to Muchen and tell him to bring them everywhere he goes. He's dead if he dares to go out and fool around."

Chuan's eyelids twitched uneasily when he heard it.

It was nothing to give Muchen the pictures, but Chuan didn't dare say those words to Muchen.

Even when Chuan felt he wouldn't dare say anything when the time came, he still nodded at Ziyue.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Ziyue pursed her lips and smiled. "It's almost Zixi's third birthday. I'm going to organize a grand birthday party. Muchen must come back, and you must be around to host it."

Chuan was surprised and momentarily dumbstruck.

He couldn't deny that his respect toward Ziyue before the trip to Country J was because of Muchen. Now, part of his current respect for Ziyue was because he did, in fact, feel that Ziyue was worthy of Muchen.

"I will relay your words to the boss, Mrs. Qin."

Chuan said solemnly as if making a vow before he turned and entered the car.

As Ziyue watched the car leave, she returned to the house.

She had been busy with meaningless things for the past two days and hadn't brought Beef back yet.

She would go and pick Beef up with Zixi today.

That dumb dog. Ziyue wasn't the least bit worried that Beef wouldn't recognize her. After all, when she returned after two years previously, Beef could still recognize her.

She told Jingshu in advance that she wanted to bring Beef home, so he didn't go to the office in the morning.

…

Xia came out of the kitchen and saw that Jingshu still wasn't dressed. She was slightly surprised. "Aren't you going to the office today?"

"I'm the boss. I come and go as I like." Jingshu took a peach from the coffee table and bit into it before turning to look at Xia.

When he noticed her in office wear, he said, "If the boss isn't going to the office, why is the secretary wearing such formal clothes? Change."

He held the peach with one hand as he lay lazily on the couch. He waved his other hand like an elderly man.

Xia glanced at him. She felt that something wasn't quite right with Jingshu today.

"What's up with you? Are you ill?" She walked toward him as she spoke, reaching out to feel his forehead.

Although he had never been quite right, he was serious about work.

To her surprise, he reached out and blocked her hand before it touched his forehead. He enunciated each word at the top of his voice. "Why are you getting physical? How rude!"

Xia looked at his feigned seriousness and snorted in disdain as she pulled her hand back. "If you're not going to the office, I will look for Ziyue. I can bring Beef to her."

She had wanted to take leave since Ziyue was back, but Ziyue had been busy the past few days. They could only meet on the weekends, so she didn't need to take leave.

"Did I let you leave? Although we're not working at the office, today's a working day. I can deduct your salary!" Jingshu was slightly worried when he heard that she wanted to leave.

He didn't tell Xia that Ziyue would come and pick Beef up in a while because he had selfish motives.

"Are you done, Bai Jingshu?!" Xia's patience was drained. Why is this man so unreasonable today?

At that moment, a voice rang in the lounge.

The voice slowly came closer. The two could tell that it was Ziyue.

"Ziyue?" Xia glanced at Jingshu doubtfully before she walked to the door.

She suddenly thought of something halfway there and shrieked before running toward the stairs.

As she ran, she said to Jingshu, "Don't let Ziyue know I'm living with you!"

"I already know." Ziyue's voice slowly rang from the back.

Xia's figure stiffened, and she pulled back her extended leg. She turned to look at Ziyue and forced a laugh. "Ziyue, why are you here? I… It's because I'm Jingshu's secretary. It's so late, but he isn't at the office yet, so I came to rush him to go to the office…"

She stuttered as she spoke while giving Jingshu a meaningful glance.

But Jingshu didn't look at her. He clearly didn't want to receive any distress signals from her.

Jingshu threw his unfinished peach into the trash before smiling and standing up. "We just started living together not too long ago. She feared you would misunderstand, so we didn't tell you."

He had a solemn expression.

Ziyue shook her head gravely. "There are no misunderstandings."

Everyone knew about Xia and Jingshu. The two were like children who squabbled. Although they had never been together officially, everyone knew it was only a matter of time.
