Chapter 656 Go Back to Country J Because He Needs You

Ziyue was affected by Xia's emotions, and the smile on her face deepened. "That's right. I'm really back, but…"

She paused and continued, "I left quickly, so I didn't have time to buy anything. I don't have a decent present."

"Do we need such formalities between us?!" Xia pursed her lips and sat down in front of Ziyue. She looked around and asked with surprise, "Why did you return alone? Where is Mr. Qin?"

"He's still in Country J. I returned first." Ziyue's gaze dimmed when Muchen was mentioned.

At this time, Jingshu walked in, and his gaze fell on Ziyue. He asked half-jokingly, "You're really back?"

Ziyue smiled at him. "I haven't seen you in a long time. Thanks for taking such good care of Zixi."

She was genuinely thankful to Jingshu.

Jingshu waved his hands and put them into the pockets of his pants. He clicked his tongue. "You're being too polite!"

The smile on Ziyue's face widened.

She was being quite formal, but her thanks were due.

Jingshu raised his head to look at the time. He said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go to Lumiere Jade House?"

"Alright. It's on me," Ziyue said.

Thus, they went to Lumiere Jade House.

At the table, Jingshu only talked about trivial matters and didn't mention Muchen.

In the past, she met Jingshu often when they were in the country. Perhaps she was somewhat prejudiced against him because of his family background and the rumors about him.

This time when she returned, she truly felt that Jingshu was very calm and collected.

He didn't ask anything, but he was like an all-knowing mirror.

They were old friends, after all. With Jingshu around to keep the atmosphere lively, they ate happily.

On the way back, Ziyue went to buy things, and then Jingshu and Xia followed her to Cloud Bay.

After all, it had been a while since someone had stayed in the villa. Although servants looked after it and Ziyue could just instruct them if she needed anything, they weren't as thoughtful as her friends.

Back at Cloud Bay, while Xia brought Zixi to make fruit juice, Jingshu asked Ziyue, "Did Muchen say when he can come back?"

Ziyue shook her head.

This confirmed Jingshu's guess. His voice was confident. "He deliberately chose the first day of the presidential election to send you back."

"Yes. Muchen wanted me to return. I'm no match for him." Ziyue sighed. Her voice was slightly frustrated.

Jingshu could roughly guess what had happened. Muchen wouldn't have informed Ziyue beforehand that he wanted to send her back. He would have lowered her guard first, then forcefully sent her back when she wasn't aware.

Ziyue would have refused if Muchen told her beforehand that he wanted to send her back. With his personality, they would have argued. Then, would he still have been able to send her back ruthlessly?

To put it simply, Muchen's bark was worse than his bite to the people around him.

"Don't get angry at him. He's been like this for decades. He doesn't talk about his concerns and does what he thinks is right. Sometimes I feel like punching him."

There was a smile on Jingshu's face. It was clear he was consoling her.

When Ziyue thought of Muchen's situation, she couldn't smile.

She shook her head. "I was initially slightly angry, but I'm just worried now. Muchen has been busy, and I thought he was busy with work and the presidential election. But now, when I think about it, I think there must be more."

Jingshu felt the worry in her voice, and his expression was slightly grave. "My brother investigated Gricy previously. After the trail of clues ended in Yunzhou City, all the information led overseas. However, working out of the country is difficult because of the many formalities. The process is complicated, and it takes up a lot of energy. Therefore, it was temporarily put aside." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Gricy was the most extensive international mafia organization, after all. If they committed an offense in Country Z, it was natural that the country would send people to deal with it.

However, it would be challenging to deal with them once these people were outside the borders.

The Bai family had significant status, and Yunan had a high rank in the army. However, the overall situation had to be considered.

Ziyue furrowed her brows. "Your brother?"

She pondered for a moment and remembered Yunan.

She didn't have a good impression of Yunan. She stayed away from him if she could.

Jingshu felt the displeasure in her voice. He smiled and said nothing more.

…

Because Ziyue had just returned and needed to rest, Xia and Jingshu left shortly.

Zixi had to take his afternoon nap too.

After Ziyue coaxed him to sleep, she carefully pulled her hand away from Zixi's little hands.

Every child was attached to their mother.

Even when Ziyue had left for a few months, Zixi still liked her. He wanted to hold her hand even when he was sleeping.

Ziyue pulled her hand out and stroked his face. She kissed his face before getting up to leave.

She was tired after such a long flight but didn't want to sleep.

When she pulled the curtains, she saw Chuan smoking in the garden.

Chuan had wanted to leave, but Ziyue had asked him to stay. She wanted to talk to him.

She walked out of the lounge, and a chilly breeze greeted her.

Chuan sensed someone behind him. He turned and saw Ziyue, so he quickly extinguished the cigarette in his hand. He greeted her respectfully. "Mrs. Qin."

"Let's talk in the lounge." After that, she turned and walked in first.

The two sat in the lounge, and Ziyue said, "Go back to Country J. He needs you."

She could tell that Chuan was actually very worried about Muchen. She was, too.

The Nan siblings were Muchen's important and capable assistants. LK Group had significant influence, so the Nan siblings, who were associated with the company, had excellent reputations in the industry. Someone had even tried to poach them from under Muchen at a high price.

Of course, the person failed.

To be honest, Muchen and the Nan siblings had a history of friendship. Conservatively speaking, he had done them a favor by giving them a new lease of life. They would never betray Muchen.

But now, Muchen had assigned Chuan to Ziyue, the more capable of the two siblings.

Yunzhou City was a place she was familiar with.

Her father was jailed when she was nine, and she had lived in the Su family for so many years without anyone to love and care for her. Now, she was an adult, a wife, a mother, and a company boss. She could stand on her own.

However, she relied on Muchen because he had always been beside her.

Relying on someone is always a bad habit of human nature.
