Chapter 624 Someone Better Than Him

He was always contented when he did anything with Ziyue and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone else.

Ziyue bent down to glance at her cell phone. When she saw the name, she was momentarily startled before she said, "Ke."

Ke must have returned if she was calling Ziyue.

Muchen didn't say anything else. He turned and continued looking at the proposal.

Ziyue knew it was a silent approval from him.

The study room was huge, so Ziyue walked to the other side with her cell phone. When she felt that she was at a safe enough distance for Muchen not to hear her, she sat down and answered the call.

"I'm back. Do you have time to have a meal, Mrs. Qin?" Ke's voice was slightly cheerful. Ziyue didn't know if it was genuine or feigned.

"Of course I do." Ziyue felt guilty. How would she not have the time?

"Where would you like to eat, Mrs. Qin?"

In that instant, Ziyue heard the sounds of Ke pulling her luggage.

"Did you just get back?"

"Mm. I just reached my house."

"I might as well go to your house. Going out is too troublesome, so let's cook at home." Ke had just returned and should be tired, so going out was unnecessary.

Ke felt quite tired these few days, so she didn't refuse.

The two agreed quickly and wrapped up their call.

Ziyue kept her cell phone and turned to look distantly in Muchen's direction.

Even though she discussed it with Ke, Muchen might disagree.

However, regardless of whether Muchen agreed, she didn't want to give in. She was already guilty that Muchen had stopped her from holding Xiyi back.

She walked over and reached out her hands to cover the documents in front of Muchen. She leaned and asked him. "I'm going to Ke's house for a meal. Are you coming?" NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Muchen raised his head, and his eyes were indifferent. "Whatever."

Ziyue never thought Muchen would agree so quickly.

Muchen's temper was improving these few days. He was almost the same as before he was sick, but she felt it was unrealistic.

She was worried and asked tentatively, "So you're coming, right?"

Muchen didn't say anything. He held her wrist and moved her hand away before closing the document and walking out.

The two changed their clothes and went to Ke's house.

After Ziyue and Muchen moved back into Mogwin Castle, Ke and Chuan moved to an apartment near the office. Servants looked after the villa.

When the two arrived, Ke had showered and returned from buying groceries.

Ziyue took the initiative to walk forward. "I'll cook today and make Country Z delicacies. You like them, don't you?"

She said this to Ke.

But after that, the air in the room suddenly went down a few degrees.

Ke saw Muchen, who was standing behind Ziyue. Besides the usual respect in her icy blue eyes, there was also a trace of frostiness.

"It's my honor that you're willing to cook for me, Mrs. Qin."

There was a clear sense of provocation in what she said.

She was displeased.

She resented how heartless Muchen had been in helping Xiyi and how he hadn't allowed her to see him one last time.

Ziyue felt the strange air and hurriedly pulled Ke to the kitchen.

At this time, Chuan had just returned with two bottles of red wine in his hands.

After Ke called Ziyue, she told Chuan they would come over for a meal and asked him to bring two bottles of red wine from the villa.

"Boss."

Ziyue and Ke were in the kitchen. He only saw Muchen standing in the living room alone.

In the kitchen, Ziyue and Ke were washing vegetables together.

Ziyue raised her head to look at Ke and didn't know how to say anything.

Unexpectedly, Ke took the lead and said, "I don't blame you, Mrs. Qin."

Since Ke had started the conversation, Ziyue continued.

"I'm very sorry. I promised you." Ziyue didn't have to explain to Ke why she couldn't hold Xiyi off until Ke returned because Ke understood.

Ziyue seemed kinder and gentler compared to Muchen.

"It's fine." Ke put the washed vegetables to one side, and her voice was calm. "He must return one day, right? Or perhaps I will meet someone better than him in the future."

When Ke said the last line, she couldn't help but laugh. It seemed like she looked forward to the future and was also laughing at herself.

Ziyue had thought of comforting words for Ke before she came, but she never thought she wouldn't need them.

Ke's experience differed from many ordinary girls, so she was destined to be unusual. She was mentally resilient and could quickly regulate herself. This was one of her strong and attractive points.

She could definitely meet someone better than Xiyi. After all, other than Xiyi's good looks and abilities, he wasn't attentive enough, and it wasn't easy to spend time with him.

But even if Ke met someone better than Xiyi, she might not necessarily fall in love with them.

Before Shichu was exposed, he was outstanding to an average person.

He had great looks, a job, and a family background. He also had a gentle, considerate, and thoughtful personality.

In all fairness, he wasn't that different from Muchen.

Muchen's temper was much worse.

Who didn't like someone with a gentle personality?

But love was love. Muchen was different from others, even if others were better than him.

Ziyue concealed her emotions and raised her eyes to smile at Ke. "Mm. That makes sense."

"I think so too." Ke also smiled.

Ziyue carefully sized Ke up, but it was hard to tell if Ke's smile was genuine.

But she knew that no matter how big Ke's heart was, Ke couldn't immediately be at ease after such an experience.

…

With Ke's help, Ziyue quickly finished cooking. The four of them had an early lunch.

Chuan had decanted the red wine and poured a glass for everyone.

At the table, Ziyue and Ke talked about trivial matters, and Ziyue asked Ke about her business trip.

Muchen didn't say anything, while Chuan interjected occasionally. It was pretty harmonious.

After lunch, Chuan volunteered to wash the dishes.

The apartment wasn't big, so the siblings hadn't hired a servant. Moreover, they were usually busy

working, so they didn't need a servant.

Chuan went to wash dishes, and Ziyue came up with an excuse to get some fresh air, so she went to the balcony.

Only Muchen and Ke were left in the dining room.

Muchen raised his head to look at Ke.

Although he wasn't much older than Ke, he had watched her grow up.

Muchen was only in his teens when he had taken the siblings in, and he wasn't as cold as he was now. He had sympathized and took pity on Ke for having such experiences. He still remembered the first time he saw Ke.

She was all skin and bones, her icy blue eyes were filled with fear, and she was as weak as a newly born animal. When the doctor sent her to the operating theater, she held on tightly to Chuan's arm and refused to let go, but she didn't cry.
