Chapter 606 Worry
Ziyue laughed out loud. Muchen was really annoyed.
She ignored his temper and explained warmly, "I wasn't feeling well in the morning, so I asked to be sent to Dr. Mo."
When he heard her familiar and gentle voice, Muchen's initial reply was stuck in his throat.
He knocked on his table several times in irritation. "Ziyue, I told you not to go out simply yesterday. Are you deaf?" he asked in a reprimanding tone.
Yet, Ziyue was not annoyed at all.
When Yuchuan's wife died, she hadn't even reached her forties, and Muchen is almost thirty now. If it's really a hereditary disease, he might pass away at a young age, like his grandmother.
Ziyue took a deep breath to calm herself down so Muchen wouldn't catch that something was wrong.
"Of course not. I wasn't feeling well, that's all. Can't I see Dr. Mo for that?" she asked seriously, as though she was prepared to apologize if Muchen forbade it.
Initially, he felt a ball of fury raging within him, making him berserk with rage. Unable to calm down, he sought an outlet to unleash his wrath.
However, Ziyue's soft and gentle voice slowly calmed him down.
He frowned at the table for several seconds before remembering Ziyue couldn't see his expression.
"Come here in twenty – no, in ten minutes. I want to see you ten minutes later."
With that, he hung up the call.
Hearing the beeping sound of the line, Ziyue was momentarily stunned before handing the phone back to the driver.
"Madam, where are we heading?" While asking, the driver observed her expression tentatively.
Seeing how calm she was, he assumed it wasn't a big deal.
Unfortunately, her words destroyed his hopeful thinking.
"He wants to see me in ten minutes," she replied with a wide smile as she looked at his surprise with satisfaction.
"H-H-How is it… possible? Ten minutes…" he stammered.
He knew it was impossible to make it to LK Group within ten minutes. It was an hour-long journey. If the traffic was good, they might be able to make it sooner.
Nonetheless, LK Group was located in the heart of the city; it was impossible for traffic to be light.
The smile on Ziyue's face slowly faded. "Don't worry about it. We'll go there now, but there's no need to hurry. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Her words did not calm the driver down. Fear still lingered within him as he drove along, not daring to heave a heavy breath.
Sitting in the backseat, she could feel his tension and nervousness.
How does Muchen appear to his servants? A demon who throws tantrums anytime? That's probably the case. Yet, this demon is my beloved man. No matter how much he changes, I will never give up on him.
…
An hour and a half later, they finally arrived at LK Group.
Along the way, Ziyue received countless calls from Muchen but didn't pick up all of them.
She only accepted his calls every ten minutes. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
He's so childish! Luckily he calls me, not the driver. Otherwise, the driver might be suspicious.
Ziyue didn't treat Muchen's order seriously. After all, it was impossible to arrive in one hour, yet he requested them to arrive in ten minutes.
I don't know how to teleport. Of course, I can't get there so quickly.
Though she didn't mind, the driver dared not completely ignore his boss' orders.
"We're here, madam."
He opened the car door for her. When she got out, she noticed the sweat on his forehead.
There was air conditioning in the car, so it wasn't due to the temperature; instead, it was because of the stress given by Muchen.
Ziyue realized that Muchen was the decision-maker in his company. He had to give countless instructions over the day, with thousands of people awaiting his decisions. Any instructions said carelessly might increase the stress level of others, making them feel worried.
Though she didn't mind his tantrums and unreasonable demands, others might not be as accepting as she.
He didn't mean to do it, but undeniably he had increased the uneasiness and burdens of other people.
With that thought in mind, Ziyue felt a heavy weight on her shoulders.
Even when she arrived in his office, the heaviness didn't ease.
Muchen's desk had heaps of documents, but he wasn't looking at any of them. He paced back and forth in the room and glanced at the time regularly as if he was waiting for someone.
Ziyue knew that someone was herself.
As soon as he heard the door opening, he walked to her in huge strides and pulled her to him. "What took so long? Didn't I say to see you in ten minutes?"
"But it's simply impossible to arrive in ten minutes. Your office is very far from Dr. Mo's place," she replied calmly and tried to smile at him naturally.
However, her smile looked stiff as she was still in a bad mood.
Muchen was over-suspicious at the moment. He narrowed his eyes upon seeing her smile and turned around to close the door. Then, he appraised her from head to toe before asking, "What were you doing there?"
"Getting a health check," she replied earnestly.
It was evident that he didn't believe her.
He looked at her apprehensively and said, "We were just there on Saturday."
"That was for checking the injury on my head. Today I was there to get your health report. After you left in the morning, I suddenly felt dizzy…"
When Muchen heard that, his suspicions turned to worry, but his tone remained cold.
"What about now? How do you feel now?"
"Much better. Perhaps the air-conditioning was too cold last night, giving me a headache."
While speaking, she paid close attention to Muchen's expression.
He looked at her with a familiar expression of attentiveness.
However, he wasn't mentally healthy. Ziyue didn't mind what he would become, but the president of LK Group could not be someone who was mentally unhealthy.
He was one of the pillars of the European economy, the descendent of the Mogwin family, and Princess Aika's business partner.
All those labels did not allow him to be someone with mental issues.
If only he were an ordinary person. He won't have to care about other people's perceptions of him, and we won't have to worry about the consequences of such news being exposed. Everything can be resolved.
