Chapter 534

Muchen's office layout was almost the same as his office in Yunzhou City, just slightly bigger.

There was also a smaller room in the office, renovated and decorated in dark tones. It was Muchen's style.

The room was tidy and fully furnished.

There was even a minibar stocked with various famous alcohols, a juicer, a coffee maker… and simple drink-making tools.

Ziyue opened the fridge and realized it was filled with bottled water and other beverages. There were even fruits and some chilled snacks that girls loved.

She clicked her tongue silently. This place of Muchen's was like another home.

She glanced at the things in the fridge and looked at the drinks. Ziyue had a hunch that this wasn't part of Muchen's orders because she and Muchen didn't like to drink beverages.

Ke must have instructed people to prepare it because it looked like it had been arranged for Ziyue.

Muchen's stomach wasn't well, so he couldn't drink coffee or tea. He didn't like other beverages either, so Ziyue took out fruits. She wanted to make juice and serve it to them.

When she was done making the fruit juice, she carried it out. Chuan and Ke were sitting across from

Muchen. The air was slightly heavy, and Muchen's expression a little cold. No one said anything.

"I made some juice." Ziyue carried the juice over. She gave Muchen a glass before she turned to look at Ke. "Nan Ke, would you like some juice?"

Upon hearing it, Ke was overwhelmed and stood up quickly. She was about to turn it down, but when she saw Muchen signal her with a glance, she reached out and took a glass from Ziyue. "Thank you, Mrs. Qin."

After she took the glass, she didn't dare to sit or take a sip.

Ziyue also gave Chuan a glass; she didn't notice his unease. She sat beside Muchen and asked him, "How is it?"

She had tried it just now. It was just right and had the freshness and fragrance of the fruit. She just feared that it tasted terrible. After all, Ke was also Muchen's capable subordinate. She wanted to help them get closer but worried the juice would be too bad to help.

Muchen silently raised his head to glance at Ke, who stood across from him. He took a sip with pursed lips and said contentedly, "It's quite good."

Under Muchen's signaling gaze, Ke immediately sat down and gulped a mouthful. "You have great talent, Mrs. Qin."

Ziyue felt slightly embarrassed at being praised by Ke.

"Go ahead. I'll leave now." She had to clean the minibar.

Upon seeing Ziyue's figure disappear into the inner room, Muchen looked up at Ke. "You don't have to be so cautious. My wife is easygoing and doesn't have any friends here. Ask her out if you're free."

If you're free?

Ke couldn't help but silently think about how long it had been since she had a break.

It was as though Muchen knew what Ke was thinking about, so he slowly said, "Once this matter is done, the two of you can go on a long break."

…

Once Ziyue cleaned the minibar, she sat in an armchair before the window. There was a book on the table at the side.

She took a look at it. It was an original novel in Spanish.

The novel was titled 'Ten-Year Exhaustion.' It was a story about a continent defiled by the flames of war for ten years. It was a soul-stirring period when there was a lot of change.

The novel was famous and had been printed and revised many times. Every printed edition sold out quickly.

The novel's cover looked very clean, but it was obvious that it had been read many times. It was also clear that it was kept well. The owner of the book truly cherished it.

The version in her hands happened to be the most complete. It was published decades ago.

It was as though Ziyue had gained a precious treasure. She couldn't help but start reading eagerly.

She lost track of time while reading the book. She didn't even know that Muchen had come into the inner room.

A warm voice rang out in her ears. "In this version, Miracel returned to the village of Yardley and died alone."

"Ah!" Ziyue cried out in surprise. She was caught off guard by Muchen's voice from behind. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

She put the book down and turned to look at Muchen. She huffed, "Why did you spoil the ending for me?!"

She had heard that the ending of this version wasn't great, but it was just hearsay. She had decided to read it from the start and restrained from reading the resolution to maintain a sense of mystery.

But Muchen spoiled the ending for her.

"Aren't you reading it for the ending?" When Muchen had just started living with Ziyue, he had seen the English version of Ten-Year Exhaustion in her apartment, so he knew she had read the book before.

"I wanted to read the ending myself. I didn't want you to tell me." Ziyue felt highly resentful.

A smile flickered across Muchen's face, and he continued spoiling the plot for her teasingly. "Let me also tell you that Gale didn't lose his legs."

Gale was a secondary character in the novel and a brave man. His ruthless personality was his flaw, but he was a hero in that era because he made great sacrifices in the ten-year war.

At the same time, Gale was a controversial character.

He was also Ziyue's favorite character in the novel.

Ziyue's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Muchen smiled. He was pleased because Ziyue took the bait. "Yes, but he died a night before the war ended. He died of a poisonous snake bite."

Ziyue couldn't help but berate him. "You're talking nonsense!"

Muchen propped his hands on both sides of the armchair rests, and his expression was slightly cold. "Come again?"

Upon seeing his expression grow cold, Ziyue didn't have the nerve to repeat it.

She pursed her lips. "I don't believe Gale would get bitten to death by a poisonous snake a night before the war ends. It isn't logical at all. If he were really going to die, he would have died in battle. I don't believe that's his ending."

In the version she had read, Gale lost both legs and returned to his hometown with Miracel. They

enjoyed their old age peacefully and prosperously.

A warrior would only die in battle or return to his hometown. She didn't believe Gale died out of combat.

Muchen changed the topic when he saw her stubborn expression. "It's time for lunch. Chuan and Ke are waiting outside. Let's go."

Ziyue wanted to keep talking about Gale's ending, but Muchen lost interest.

After lunch, Ziyue was still feeling sulky. She was still sour about Muchen telling her about Gale's end.

The other three had matters to deal with, so they returned to LK Group after lunch, while Ziyue was sent back to Mogwin Castle by a driver.

Her cell phone rang as soon as she got out of the car.

She took out her cell phone and was momentarily startled when she saw a familiar number.
