Chapter 714 More Important Than Zixi

It was rare for Ziyue to see a trace of stubbornness on Shichu's face.

Ziyue mumbled, "I'm sorry, I didn't..."

She didn't know what to say.

Shichu continued, "This is between me and Muchen. I owed him my life anyway."

Ziyue looked at him and said nothing.

She knew that Shichu was saying all this to console her.

Shichu had repaid the favor a few months ago in Country J when Muchen shot him.

Regardless of Shichu's original plan was to leave or stay in Gricy, he didn't need to save Muchen. However, he saved Muchen recklessly.

After so much had happened, she couldn't deceive herself even if many things were left unsaid.

Shichu had saved Muchen despite everything because of her.

This was undeniable.

When Shichu saw Ziyue silent for a long time, he looked behind her.

On a couch not far behind them, Muchen was looking their way expressionlessly. Zixi, who was next to him, also looked at them curiously.

Shichu looked away and looked down. He reached out to adjust the blanket on his legs and said, "You can leave if you have nothing else to say. I'm a little tired."

He was satisfied.

He used to think that he would never have the chance to meet Ziyue again.

Although he had been trapped here by Muchen for the past few days, he felt calmer than ever.

Everything had passed, and everything would end.

He did the last thing he could for Ziyue.

He never wanted Ziyue to be thankful to him. To him, anything he did for her was worth it.

He had watched her grow up and did everything he could for her. It came naturally to him.

Ziyue's hands clenched, and her lips pursed tightly. Tears flickered in her pretty almond-shaped eyes but disappeared instantly.

"Rest well. I'm going to leave."

After that, she turned and left without hesitation.

Muchen walked to her while carrying Zixi.

She held Muchen's arm and walked out.

When she left the room, she pulled her hand away indifferently.

Muchen noticed her subtle action, and his expression darkened as well.

He knew that the inevitable had come.

Before they reached the elevator, Enxue appeared out of nowhere and rushed to Ziyue fiercely. She grabbed Ziyue's shoulders tightly. "Why are you still living well? You did this to Shichu. How can you live like nothing has happened?"

Ziyue's shoulders hurt from being grabbed, but she didn't show it. Her gaze landed on Muchen's arms as he was beside her.

She noticed that Zixi's arms were wrapped tightly around Muchen's neck.

She raised her head and said to Muchen, "Go on."

Muchen stood still, and Ziyue had a slightly angry expression. "Leave!"

Muchen furrowed his brows fiercely when he heard the anger in Ziyue's voice. He left while carrying Zixi.

When the two figures disappeared, Ziyue shook Enxue's hands away viciously.

She said coldly, "Visit a doctor if you're feeling unwell. Don't act all crazy with me!"

"Do you have a conscience, Su Ziyue? Ask yourself if Shichu would be in his current condition if not for you. He's a good person but now crippled and in a wheelchair!"

Enxue cried as she spoke, appearing very sad and miserable.

Ziyue looked at her icily from the start until the end. Her face was expressionless as if entirely unfazed by Enxue's words.

After a moment, she looked down and restrained the emotions in her eyes. She said, "You're asking me if I have a conscience? Why don't you ask yourself that question? If not for you, would Enyang have joined Gricy? He would have had a great future with his abilities if not for a burden like you. He would be just like Muchen. But he joined Gricy because of you and is doing shady business!" Ziyue knew how to hurt Enxue as well.

"You..." Enxue had a nasty expression. She tottered as though she would fall at any moment.

Ziyue looked at her coldly. "You should take care of yourself rather than concern yourself with other people's affairs."

At this time, the bodyguards who were guarding Enxue ran over.

They were startled when they saw Ziyue there, and they greeted her respectfully. "Mrs. Qin!"

"Keep watch over her! If she escapes, you'll face the consequences."

"Alright."

Ziyue left after that. She had a cold demeanor that made others want to avoid her.

As she entered the elevator, she was still expressionless, but her tightly clenched fists revealed her feelings.

She had been with Muchen for a long time. She admired herself because she never thought she could control her emotions so well.

But at the end of the day, she had overestimated herself.

When the elevator doors opened, she ignored the staff members who greeted her and went straight to the washroom.

She leaned in front of the sink and turned on the tap. She used both hands to splash her face with water repeatedly as if there was something stuck on her face. She only stopped after a while.

When she lifted her head, the woman in the mirror was soaked.

Her red eyes betrayed her.

Her face was soaked with water and tears.

She hadn't spoken the truth before Shichu.

She was guilty and upset, and she blamed herself.

Shichu and Ziyue understood each other too well. They couldn't trick each other but didn't expose each other.

She didn't expose Shichu's lie, and Shichu didn't reveal her feigned ignorance.

Shichu didn't want her to feel guilty or blame herself, so she didn't reveal these emotions in front of her.

But she couldn't pretend anymore when she was alone.

How could she not feel guilty or blame herself?

She stayed in the washroom for a long time and only turned to leave when she calmed down.

She saw Muchen when she was at the door.

She didn't know when he had arrived. He was in a black suit, which made him look cold and reserved. He had clearly stood there for a long time.

"Why are you here?" Ziyue looked up at him.

Muchen also looked at her and said expressionlessly, "I hate seeing you upset over another man."

This might have sounded sweet under normal circumstances.

But at that moment, Ziyue felt indifferent.

"So when Enxue wanted to see Shichu that day, you clearly knew where he was but didn't tell anyone?"

Muchen didn't immediately answer her. It meant he was silently acknowledging it.

"So you would rather watch Enxue dangle Zixi over the rails? They were on the eighteenth floor. What if Enxue had lost her grip? Don't tell me your love for Zixi was fake. What on earth is going on with you, Qin Muchen?"

Ziyue's questions made her seem hysterical.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Ziyue wanted to know his answer, but she was fearful.

After a long time, she heard Muchen's indifferent voice. "If there comes a day when someone wants to exchange Zixi's life for yours, I will agree without hesitation. You are the most important to me. Even more than Zixi."
