Chapter 582
"He's coming."
When Ziyue saw him, Yuchuan also looked over at her.
But something was strange. There was a smile on Yuchuan's face.
He seemed unwilling, but simultaneously, he had to smile and greet them.
Ziyue glanced at Muchen and noticed that his expression was as usual. It was as though he didn't realize anything wrong with Yuchuan.
"Grandpa." Ziyue and Muchen greeted him.
Yuchuan nodded and said cordially, "Have a seat."
The two sat beside him.
Muchen didn't let go of Ziyue's hand after he sat down.
Few noticed this action of his, and not Bessalyn, who had been keeping an eye on him.
Since Muchen and Ziyue walked in together, Bessalyn's gaze was fixed on them. She didn't even notice her friend speaking to her.
"Bessalyn? Are you listening to me?"
She only came to her senses when her friend nudged her, annoyed.
"I'm sorry. What did you say?" Bessalyn snapped out of it, and she had a blank expression.
Her friend was displeased at her response, but she thought of Bessalyn's family background, so she could only repeat what she had said.
"Do you see that man? He's mixed-blood, and he's tall and handsome. How amazing would it be if I could spend a night with him…," her friend said, infatuated.
Bessalyn followed her friend's gaze and saw a handsome man raising his glass to her as if proposing a toast.
The man had black hair and brown eyes. He looked mixed blood with one glance, but no one knew where he was from.
But she knew the man.
The son with the least power in the Mogwin family, Qin Jueyin.
The head of the Mogwin family was from Country Z, so his children spoke English.
In Country J, almost every woman wanted to marry into the Mogwin family. It would be an appropriate match even if the royal princess married into the Mogwin family.
In Country J, the Mogwin family was the symbol of wealth.
Bessalyn was enamored with the man named Muchen, so she secretly asked people to investigate the key players of the Mogwin family.
Jueyin was a playboy and had a bad reputation.
But because he was a Mogwin, many women wanted to fool around with him.
Bessalyn decided to warn her friend.
"Let me remind you that the man is a scum. He doesn't have a great reputation in this circle, although he's from the Mogwin family. If you insist on chasing after him, you'll have to fend for yourself."
It was a shame that Bessalyn's warning didn't scare her friend away.
Her friend looked as if she had fallen in love, and she looked at Bessalyn with flushed cheeks. "I've never seen such an attractive man. I won't miss this opportunity. I feel like he's the one."
Bessalyn shrugged. "Alright. Good luck to you."
Hopefully, her friend wouldn't regret her decision today.
"Thank you, babe."
Upon seeing her friend walk away, Bessalyn turned and looked in Muchen's direction.
When Ziyue sat down, she felt a gaze following her closely.
No. To be exact, it was following Muchen.
She lifted her eyes and looked over, and she happened to make eye contact with Bessalyn.
Ziyue narrowed her eyes slightly. She thought about it and remembered that she had seen this woman once, on the first day she delivered lunch to Muchen.
Ke told her that the woman's name was Bessalyn.
Foreigners had such long names, but thankfully Ziyue remembered.
Bessalyn didn't feel embarrassed at being caught peeking. In fact, she raised her glass in Ziyue's direction openly. There was a flirtatious gaze in her pale blue eyes that were like Ke's.
One word immediately appeared in Ziyue's mind. Gorgeous.
Bessalyn was in a black halter evening gown and a hat. Her makeup was exquisite, and she was ravishing.
Ziyue couldn't help but look down at her outfit today.
She was in a simple, black, sleeveless, knee-high gown.
They were both in black evening gowns. Bessalyn looked beautiful, but Ziyue looked plain and simple.
Ziyue could only console herself that it must have been because of the different styles.
Women would always compare appearances and outfits. As Ziyue looked at her evening gown compared to Bessalyn's, Bessalyn also looked at Ziyue attentively.
Other women Bessalyn considered pretty were mostly celebrities. As for Mrs. Qin, she was prettier than them.
Besides her beauty, Ziyue must have had her own merits for Muchen to fancy her. Bessalyn couldn't underestimate Ziyue.
Even though Muchen had been listening to Yuchuan speak, he was distracted as he observed Ziyue.
When he saw her looking in the same direction, he followed her gaze and saw Bessalyn.
Something quickly flashed in his mind, and he said, "Why are you looking at Marni's daughter?" This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
"She's stunning." Ziyue pursed her lips and smiled before she turned her head to look at him.
Their gaze met briefly, and Muchen said, "She doesn't come close to you."
Ziyue could swear that she had been sincere when she said Bessalyn was stunning. But after Muchen spoke, it seemed like Ziyue was deliberately provoking Muchen.
But what he said sounded pleasant.
"What are you saying…" Even if it sounded pleasant, he exaggerated.
Bessalyn was prettier than her.
"Do you think I'm saying something against my will to win your favor?" Muchen raised his brows, and he looked at her like she was a fool.
Ziyue ignored his gaze and blinked.
"It's been a long time, Earl of Augsburg."
Before Ziyue could think of what to say, a female voice was heard.
She lifted her head. The woman before her was Bessalyn.
Bessalyn greeted Yuchuan calmly and gracefully.
When she felt Ziyue's gaze, she turned to look at Ziyue, and the smile on her face didn't change. "This must be Mrs. Qin. It's our first time meeting. Hello. I'm Bessalyn. I wonder if Mr. Qin has mentioned me before?"
She smiled and extended her arm to Ziyue. She had a charming smile, and every word she said was proper. She wasn't like the other women who were infatuated with Muchen. Everything they said was sarcastic and biting.
Ziyue intuitively knew that Bessalyn admired Muchen.
It was customary for outstanding women to like excellent men.
But this man was her husband. She wondered if Miss Bessalyn would still like Muchen if she knew how erratic Muchen's temper was.
