Marry Me Quick

Chapter 738 Facts About Growing Old

Muchen listened and followed the shop assistant into the fitting room.

Ziyue and Zixi sat on the couch waiting for him.

Ziyue put an arm around Zixi and asked, "How do you find your dad?"

Without hesitation, Zixi answered, "He's okay."

"How so?"

"Everything's good." Zixi tilted his head to the side.

Ziyue was surprised. She had noticed the tension between Zixi and his father.

To her surprise, Zixi was happy with Muchen.

"Then do you like him?" Zixi prodded.

Zixi pursed his lips and wrung his hands. "I guess…"

Ziyue, "…"

She couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Muchen emerged from the fitting room.

He had barely left the house this past six months. Muchen had become incredibly pale, but it only made him look

even more striking. He'll look good in anything with his physique. What made the pale green dress shirt he was

wearing now any different?

However, the cheery uplifting green somehow looked somber on him.

Muchen frowned as he came to stand in front of ZIyue. "What do you think?" He asked.

"It's great. But how do you feel in it?" He was frowning so hard; he could have killed a mosquito if it had landed in

the creases of his forehead just then. He was obviously not too fond of this shirt.

"I think it's quite nice." He replied to everyone's surprise.

"Then this one it is." Ziyue laughed.

She handed the shop assistant her card for the bill.

After all, she was the primary breadwinner of the house now.

Muchen did not have any money.

While the shop assistant went to get the EFTPOS machine, Ziyue snapped a few sneaky photos of Muchen with her

phone.

Muchen had gotten the phone for her. She didn't know where he got the money for it, but she knew it was clean.

She posted the photo on her social media and immediately received many likes and comments.

She glanced through the comments. For some reason, it looked like all her friends were online.

The comments were filled with exclamations of surprise. It was no secret that Muchen preferred dark colors.

Scrolling through the comments, she encountered someone she had not seen in a long time.

"No matter how much he pretends, he can't hide the fact that he's thirty and will soon be an ailing old man!"

No one except for Jingshu would dare to say that about Muchen.

Ziyue stared at the comment for a good minute to make she wasn't making a mistake. She handed the phone to

Muchen.

"Jingshu commented on my post!"

Muchen glared at the phone and snorted, "I can't believe someone who's just a few months younger than me and

still single would have the audacity to say anything about me!"

Mr. Qin had gotten used to the new lingo from the younger generation.

He was so angry that he was using words like 'audacity.'

Ziyue found it hilarious. "You're not an ailing old man. This shirt makes you look like a first-year college student."

She tried to placate him.

But she couldn't help laughing.

Muchen arched an eyebrow at her. He felt conflicted.

Ziyue tapped on Jingshu's comment to reply to find it had been deleted.

While she had been cooped up at home under Muchen's strict orders to look after herself, Xia had visited her a few

times. But every time she'd bring up Jingshu, Xia would change the subject.

Ziyue guessed that Muchen knew about Jingshu.

"Do you know what happened between Jingshu and Xia?"

"Nope."

The three of them left the store and took the elevator downstairs. The elevator was tall and looked quite steep.

Noticing Zixi nervously trying to get on, Muchen carried him.

Ziyue laughed at the sight.

After a long pause, Muchen said, "He wouldn't have stood out so much if the Bai family hadn't done those things."

"The Bai family?" Ziyue's face fell. "You mean to say…"

"The Bais are a military and political family. Social status and honor are important to them. The elders of the family

rule with an iron fist." Muchen briefly explained.

Ziyue was surprised.

She immediately texted Jingshu. He replied to her straight away with a smiley emoji.

Not expecting him to reply that quickly, Ziyue was at a loss for what to say. She wanted to ask how things were

going between him and Xia but thought he might think her nosy. Instead, she asked: 'Are you coming to my and

Muchen's wedding?'

Their wedding was still being planned. While they needed to hammer out some details, they had booked most of

their vendors.

Jingshu's eagerly replied: 'Of course, I'm coming! I'm one of the groomsmen!!!

Ziyue: 'Okay then. Wait for the invitations to be sent out.'

She put her phone away, not waiting for a reply.

Jingshu had not returned to Yunzhou City since leaving for Jingcheng City. She didn't know how Xia felt about it, but

all Ziyue could do was use her wedding with Muchen to force Jingshu to visit.

He would have no choice but to see Xia then.

They could use the time to talk their problems out.

Ziyue was so engrossed with her phone; she did not notice the chauffeur had driven them out of the city.

When she came to, they were in the suburbs.

"Where are we going?" Could they be going camping?

The weather had cooled somewhat, but not enough to go camping outdoors!

"We'll arrive soon. Why don't you get some shut-eye?"

Ziyue guessed Muchen was up to something but could not be sure.

She had dozed off by the time the car slowed down.

Muchen opened the door for them. After Zixi had gotten out of the car, Muchen helped Ziyue out.

Ziyue couldn't help but smile when she saw they had arrived at a field of flowers. "Did you bring me here to see the

flowers?"

Muchen did not say a word. He silently led his wife and son to the middle of the field.

Ziyue followed him into the field and found herself surrounded by a sea of flowers.

Maybe it was because of the terrain, but the flowers stretched as far as the eye could see.

What woman wouldn't love to be surrounded by flowers?

Even Zixi cried out, "It's so pretty!"

Ziyue took a few steps forwards and came to a red sea of roses.

How was it possible for roses to bloom at this time of year?

There was a strip of cloth tied to each stem.

Curious, Ziyue walked over and untied one. The handwriting was familiar.

"Marry me, Su Ziyue!"

Her mouth dropped open in shock as she whirled around to stare at Muchen.

Muchen was waiting for her with a gentle smile on his face.

Ziyue untied one after another. They all said the same.

She couldn't imagine how long it had taken him to write so many.

Tears were streaming down her face before she had even gone through a dozen.

Muchen strode over until he stood in front of her. She could barely see him from all the tears.

He reached out to wipe them away. "I take it you're happy?"
