Chapter 694 Each More Loyal Than The Next

Bessalyn was upset but didn't want to poke the bear any further.

She remembered an incident that had happened in that same parking garage. She and Muchen had seen Ziyue and Yunan in the dark. She had asked out loud if there were a chance Ziyue would fall in love with Yunan. Muchen had given her the death glare. The next time she mentioned Ziyue, Muchen would strangle.

Which was why she did not think it was a good idea to antagonize him anymore.

But her curiosity could not be denied. She may not have majored in psychology, but she wanted to know more about Muchen's unique situation.

Setting aside her own feelings for Muchen, his heritable mental disorder was reason enough for her to be attracted to him.

His mental disorder had frequent flareups, but every time it happened, Muchen managed to seize control of himself and recover.

During their therapy sessions, he would somehow make her feel emotionally invested. It surprised and scared her.

When Bessalyn came to, she rolled down all four windows to let the cold night air in. Hoping it would calm Muchen.

She started the car back up, "Let's go back."

She was met with silence. She had gotten used to it.

…

In the days following, Ziyue would arrive early at the office to find a drawing in her pile of papers. The drawings would tell a story with every piece she collected.

Him smashing a reporter's camera. Both of them arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Her spilling a glass of wine…

They were memories from a long time ago, but she remembered them as if it happened yesterday.

Ziyue couldn't deny it was working on her.

Less talk and more action.

This was both Muchen's weakness and strength.

He never explained himself but would do things to make her happy and hope she would forgive him. Ziyue could never stay mad at him.

But he went too far this time. Ziyue wasn't going to let this go that easily.

Muchen had told her he would take care of Chuan. Before two days had passed, Ziyue received news about Chuan.

Instead of seeing Chuan himself, Ziyue received news of him from someone she would never expect.

Ziyue compiled the comics she had received from Muchen and organized them with paperclips. She kept them somewhere safe.

The phone rang.

"Yes?" Ziyue answered.

"Ms. Su. Someone claiming to be your friend wants to see you. She said…" The receptionist hesitated.

"What did she say?" Ziyue arched an eyebrow.

"She said she has information on Chuan for you…"

Ziyue tensed up. "Send her up." She ordered.

…

Holding her documents tightly, Nan Ke walked down the hallway to Ziyue's office. She bumped into Gu Hanyan coming the opposite direction when she arrived at the door.

It was December. They were in the middle of winter. It snowed every day in Yunzhou, and the winds were frigid and unstoppable. It got colder and colder by the day. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

And yet Hanyan was wearing a dress with a knee-length wool coat over it. The coat didn't look like it'll do much to keep her warm in this weather. Her legs were bare and long, finished with a pair of stilettos. She looked extremely seductive.

Ke never liked Hanyan, and she liked her even less after everything that had happened.

Ke stopped and frowned at Hanyan.

Hanyan was about to enter Ziyue's office when she saw Ke standing there. "Long time no see, Ke." Hanyan grinned at her.

She was acting so sweet and friendly to Ke.

It made Ke want to throw up.

Ke frowned even harder. "Why are you here?" She asked warily.

Hanyan's reputation had suffered, and there was a stain on her name in the industry. But she would have higher chances of making a successful comeback here in Country J than in Country Z.

And with how persistent the paparazzi were back home, they would swarm her if news of her return were leaked. Everything she did would become front-page news.

Hanyan's reputation may not be what it once was, but she was still extremely famous. Any news about her would sell.

However, there was no sound of her return this time. There must be something else at play.

Ke had guessed Hanyan's reason to return within a couple minutes of seeing her.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just here to catch up with Ziyue. We're old friends, after all." Hanyan said while walking towards her.

Ke couldn't stop herself from taking a step back.

Hanyan's expression tensed before she forced herself to relax.

She straightened her hair and raised her chin defiantly before opening the door to Ziyue's office.

Ziyue had been deep in thought ever since receiving the call.

The door opening interrupted her thoughts. She turned to see Hanyan entering, with Ke following behind.

Ke looked at Ziyue questioningly, and Ziyue tried to reassure her.

Hanyan took in Ziyue's office design and layout, completely ignoring Ziyue.

Ziyue immediately understood Hanyan's presence must mean Chuan's whereabouts must have something to do with Gricy.

She thought back to the receptionist telling her that the person she was meeting had information on Chuan.

Even though she hated the sight of Hanyan, Ziyue forced herself to be polite, "Have a seat."

Hanyan, seemingly realizing that other people were in the room, spun around in surprise and gasped, "Oh my! I hope you don't mind. It's just been a while since I saw this place."

"Say what you came to say. You don't need to pretend in front of me. I'm not going to fall for it." Ziyue leaned back into her chair calmly, with no sign of impatience.

Placing the documents on the table, Ke glances at Ziyue warily.

Ziyue looked up at her. "You may go. Miss Gu and I need to have a conversation."

Ke nodded. She turned to walk out the door when Hanyan blocked her path.

"Where are you going? Don't you want to hear what I have to say about your brother?" Hanyan spoke slowly, almost slurring her words at some point. Ke found her irritating.

But she perked up at the mention of Chuan.

Forcing herself to look unbothered, Ke said, "You came to talk to Mrs. Qin, not me."

She quickly excused herself.

The concern Hanyan was pretending to have for Ke went straight out the window. "Muchen's dogs are quite loyal, aren't they?" She sniggered
