Chapter 598 Uncle? What Uncle?

In the dining hall, Ziyue gawked at the bustling hamster on the table. It took her a while to recover from the shock.

After she had calmed down, she turned to the servant who threw the hamster at her and exclaimed, "Why did you do that?!"

At this point, the servant realized Muchen had bluffed him. Mrs. Qin despised hamsters. The servant could only stomach his grievances as he had no ground to comment on anything.

Ziyue didn't say anything else. Probably she had worked out the causality. She turned around and went to the hall.

She stormed out of the dining hall and headed towards the stairs to confront Muchen. But unexpectedly, he was sitting in the living hall, leisurely flipping through a magazine.

Ziyue walked over, snatched the magazine from his hands, and scolded, "You can't be serious!"

Muchen glanced at her and then got up to go upstairs.

Ziyue blocked his way, "Go and work if you're bored. What's the point of harassing me? Do you think you're very clever for pranking me?"

Muchen was no longer rushing to leave since Ziyue came in his way.

Ziyue told him off in an anxious tone. Her cheeks were tinted with angry blush, making her look even more attractive and adorable.

Muchen calmly said, "You're right. It's not clever. But it's fun!"

Then, Muchen provocatively raised an eyebrow at her.

Ziyue was left speechless and watched him go upstairs.

She plopped down on the sofa and muttered, "Shameless!" Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just then, a servant cautiously approached her and said, "Mrs. Qin..."

"If it's urgent, then just tell me. If not, don't bother me. I'm in a bad mood now." She couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't blow up at them. After all, it wasn't easy to restrain one's temper.

The servant bowed and said, "Master Jueyin is here..."

Ziyue said impatiently, "So?" Jueyin was probably here for Muchen, so it was none of her business.

Before she could finish speaking, Jueyin's voice could be heard from a distance, "How sad? It's been so long since we've seen each other. Ziyue doesn't even miss me and hurt my feelings with such heartless words…."

"Muchen is in the study room." Ziyue hoped Jueyin would leave her alone as she had no mood to entertain him now.

Jueyin gleaned from her expression and knew she was upset, so he didn't provoke her further.

Ziyue looked tetchy, and if he offended her, it wouldn't look good for him.

There were only a few in the Mogwin Castle who he wouldn't dare to tread on toes, and Ziyue was one of them.

Jueyin used to be a gangster. He was a violent and ruthless addict with many tricks up his sleeve, which made him despised by other members of the Mogwin family.

But, somehow, Yuchuan was fond of Jueyin.

Jueyin had seen and been through a lot growing up as a common folk. Pleasing others came naturally to him. Besides, even though he was an illegitimate son, he was still Yuchuan's youngest child. And Yuchuan being a traditional Z-country folk, naturally doted on the youngest child more.

Jueyin had a profound reverence for Muchen. Everyone knew how much Muchen cared for Ziyue. He didn't want to make an enemy out of Muchen, so naturally, he wouldn't want to offend her as well.

"Ah, I see. I'll go..." Jueyin said and glanced at the floor behind Ziyue, and he froze, "How did my hamsters end up here?"

"Yours?" Ziyue hadn't expected that the hamster belonged to Jueyin.

Jueyin nodded. Ziyue beckoned, "Then, quickly take them away!"

Ziyue thought the hamsters were cute. But earlier the servant suddenly threw them at her hence she got scared.

But she hated mice to the core and couldn't bring herself to like hamsters, no matter how cute they looked.

Jueyin instructed the servants to catch the hamsters, put them back in the cage, and then went upstairs to find Muchen.

Muchen was reading a document when Jueyin entered the study room. But the former was looking evidently distracted.

Muchen heard the door opening and saw Jueyin. Immediately, he furrowed, "Why are you here?"

Muchen's displeased tone manifested his contempt for Jueyin's abrupt visitation.

"I haven't been able to visit you guys after moving to Mogwin Castle. After all, we are friends and family. It's only right for me to check on you." Jueyin said while sitting down opposite of him as if they were buddies.

Muchen stared at him indifferently. Then, he sneered, "Grandpa sent you here."

It was a statement, not a question. Muchen was cognizant of Jueyin's intention to visit him at this hour.

Jueyin was startled but quickly came around. He chuckled awkwardly, "What are you talking about? There's no way I only came here because Dad told me to. I haven't seen you in a long time and wanted to..."

Muchen stared frigidly at Jueyin, causing him to falter and trail off toward the end.

Muchen snorted coldly, "Go back and tell Grandpa to take care of himself and not to worry too much. I'll see him tomorrow."

"Heh, you're right. I think so too. Although Dad looks strong and healthy, he's not getting any younger. He should slow down." Jueyin wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to babble on to cover up his unease.

Muchen was getting annoyed by Jueyin's gibberish and was about to chase him out. At this time, Ziyue entered the room.

She was holding a tray with two cups on it. She brewed the tea for them with the tea leaves gifted by Jingshu.

As soon as she entered, Muchen and Jueyin turned their attention to her.

Ziyue beamed as she walked over and placed a teacup before Jueyin, "This cup of tea is for you, Uncle Jueyin."

"Huh?" Jueyin was stunned by Ziyue calling him uncle.

What uncle?

Muchen had never called him uncle, and he almost forgot that he was Muchen's elder. However, Jueyin had always yearned for Muchen to call him uncle because he wanted to have a taste of being his elder.

But it was just Jueyin's wishful thinking. He never dared to bring it up with Muchen.

And now Ziyue called him Uncle Jueyin. Although she was right, he dared not respond to her greeting! He awkwardly glanced at Muchen and saw him frown. Muchen was tapping his fingers against the table, which produced a soft thumping sound. Yet, to Jueyin, it sounded like roaring thunder.

Jueyin was too scared to even drink the tea. He hurried off with a lousy excuse, "I just remembered that I haven't taken a shower yet."
