Chapter 618 It’s More Like Being Controlling

He didn't like rainy days. Thankfully, he was leaving, but… he had a gloomy feeling in his heart that couldn't go away no matter what.

Because of this call, Xiyi didn't have the mood to pack anymore. Since he had to leave, the people Muchen would send over could clean up.

He returned to the room and showered before he stuffed his belongings into his luggage.

The sound of rain came from outside the half-open window.

He walked to the window, and a raindrop landed on his face.

It was a big raindrop that hurt slightly when it fell on him.

He reached out to wipe the raindrop away before closing the window.

There were around four hours before his flight. If the thunderstorm stopped before that, he wanted to set out two hours later.

As for Ke…

She was so angry just now. She won't come back impulsively to look for me, right?

Furthermore, even if she wants to return, she's helpless in such heavy rain.

Xiyi imagined all sorts of scenarios but never thought Ke would find someone to stop him.

…

Ziyue and Muchen were sitting at the dining table halfway through their meal when it started pouring rain outside.

Through the full-length window, they could see the ground lit up by the lights outside. It was quickly soaked.

The temperature went down immediately, and the servants turned up the heating.

Ziyue looked away and was just about to take food for Muchen when she noticed him looking outside the window with a deep gaze. She didn't know what he was thinking about.

Ziyue took food for him and asked concernedly, "What's up?"

Muchen looked away and bent down to fiddle with the food on his plate before saying. "Nothing."

Ziyue felt that he was feeling slightly downcast.

Two of them didn't say anything else. Only the soft sounds of them eating were heard at the dining table for a split second.

At that moment, a servant rushed over with something in her hands.

Ziyue only heard the familiar cell phone ringtone when the servant approached. She saw the servant holding her cell phone.

She recalled leaving her cell phone in the kitchen after cooking.

The servant had a slightly uneasy expression.

According to the rules, she wasn't supposed to disturb Master Muchen and Mrs. Qin eating, but Mrs. Qin's cell phone kept ringing.

The servant was worried that it was an important call if she didn't bring it over.

But she was afraid it would disturb them if she did.

After weighing the pros and cons, she considered how Master Muchen's temper today didn't seem as bad as before. Mrs. Qin had also always spoken nicely, so she put on a bold face and brought it to them. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Mrs. Qin, your cell phone keeps ringing…"

Ziyue smiled at the servant when she saw how careful the servant was being. She took her cell phone from her servant and didn't say anything.

Ziyue had never been a person to put on airs, but she was in Mogwin Castle. There was a social hierarchy here and all sorts of rules. She had to comply with the status quo even if she didn't put on any airs.

The phone call was from Ke.

Ziyue was slightly surprised and glanced at Muchen, only to see him staring at her intensely with a displeased gaze. The corners of her lips twitched, and she smiled at him while waving her cell phone. "Perhaps there's something urgent if Ke is calling."

Muchen, who had become more reserved recently, said coldly, "Ignore her."

Ziyue pursed her lips and put down the cutlery in her hands, expressing her discontent.

What's wrong with answering a call?

Does he think he can restrain me just because he's sick?

Restrain? It's more like being controlling.

She felt Muchen wanted to put a microchip in her head and set up a program to let him manipulate her with remote control.

Muchen had taken the medicine that Xiyi gave him, and his emotions were temporarily under control. He could distinguish his rights and wrongs.

Upon seeing Ziyue silent with pursed lips, he knew she was unhappy.

Whatever. Let her be.

Ziyue looked at Muchen sideways from the corner of her eye and realized he wasn't looking at her.

His silence means acknowledgment, right?

Ziyue was pleased and took her cell phone before she got up and answered the call on one side.

She went to one side to answer Ke's call mainly because she didn't want to make Muchen unhappy.

"Mrs. Qin, please help me stop Xiyi. I'll be back soon." Ziyue was frightened to hear Ke's voice when the call went through.

Ke should be on loudspeaker. Raindrops were heard pattering, and her voice was unusually hoarse. It was obvious that she had been crying.

Ziyue could tell something was wrong. "What happened?"

"Xiyi must be leaving tonight. He's not answering my calls and doesn't want me to know, so he must be leaving tonight…"

Ke kept repeating, 'He must be leaving tonight.'

Ziyue quickly thought about what Ke had said and understood Ke meant that Xiyi was leaving as soon as possible without telling Ke.

"Where are you now? Don't panic. Did Xiyi tell you he was leaving tonight?" If her guess was correct, Ke should be rushing back.

She didn't know where Ke had gone on a business trip, but Ke had left at noon. She called Ke during dinner after Ke had settled some matters, so she guessed Ke had three or four hours to go.

"I know him. He must be leaving tonight. He's the most heartless and indifferent person and makes firm decisions. To him, he doesn't need to prepare much for such a big matter. He must be leaving in the shortest time possible…"

Ke was sure, and Ziyue had to believe her.

After the call ended, she glanced in Muchen's direction and pondered.

She walked straight to him.

"Can we eat now?" Muchen raised his head to look at her coldly.

Ziyue pursed her lips tightly and stared at him for a long time. "Is Xiyi leaving tonight?"

Muchen's pupils suddenly shrank as fast as the naked eye could see.

Ziyue naturally saw it as she was watching his expressions closely.

She asked, "Is this true?"

"Why do you men like to do this? Can't you consider other people's perspectives whenever you make any decisions? Xiyi is going to leave just like that, and he isn't going to see Ke for the last time. If he's joining Doctors Without Borders, who knows if he can come back alive? They say doctors have a big heart, but I think he's ruthless!"

Ziyue was very agitated.

Because Xiyi's actions made her think of what Muchen had done in the past.

They only considered it from their own perspective when they made certain decisions. They never put themselves in other people's shoes to think about it.

If Xiyi was going to leave like this, Ke would regret it for the rest of her life if something happened that he couldn't return.
