Chapter 546

Ke was in such a good mood that she hummed a tune while waiting for breakfast to be served.

Ziyue thoughtfully asked the chef to give Xiyi extra bacon and ham, but Xiyi preferred vegetarian meals, so he had to force himself to finish the breakfast.

After eating, he couldn't take it anymore and turned to order the servant, "Please get me a cup of coffee. Last night, I pulled an all-nighter in the lab. I need some caffeine.”

Ziyue knew Xiyi was a rigorous man and had his principles regarding love relationships.

She just wanted to tease Xiyi.

Perceiving that Xiyi was annoyed, Ziyue quickly feigned a severe look.

Xiyi came today to understand from Muchen the side effect of the K1LU73 virus antidote.

He turned his gaze at Ke, whose eyes were fixed on him, and asked, "Don't you have to go to work today?”

Ke's captivating blue eyes glistened. She fluttered her eyelashes and said, "Today's Saturday.”

Xiyi paused momentarily and said, "But you should have other agendas, shouldn't you?"

"I don't… Hey, why are you pulling me away?!”

Ke was about to answer she had no agenda, but Chuan pulled her away.

Forced to follow Chuan, she grumbled, "Why did you pull me away? I have something to talk to Xiyi.”

Chuan shot a glare at her and poked her forehead. "I can't believe your brain malfunctions when you see Xiyi."

"It has been a while since I saw him…” Ke was embarrassed as she stared at Xiyi from afar.

She had a thing for a weird professional like Xiyi.

Chuan was resigned, seeing her younger sister's obsession with Xiyi. He did not think Xiyi had any unique and attractive qualities.

He would rather Ke be obsessed with Jingshu. Xiyi was a cold workaholic and did not even bother to take care of himself in daily life. In contrast, Jingshu was handsome, good at interacting with girls and had a decent family background. As such, Chuan thought Jingshu would be more popular among women.

"We should prepare for the meeting next week and leave space for Doctor Mo and Boss to talk.” Chuan did not intend to continue discussing Xiyi with Ke because it would not make any difference.

…

The living room became silent after the Nan siblings left. The servants excused themselves too.

Sitting beside Muchen, Ziyue pressed her lips tight, showing her distress.

Muchen leaned against the couch lazily, but his eyes looked sharp.

He grasped Ziyue's interlocking fingers and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

"There's a crucial matter.” Xiyi habitually pushed his glasses. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The discerning Muchen had guessed what Xiyi was referring to. In fact, he had thought of finding Xiyi before this, but he was occupied. Besides, he remembered Xiyi mentioning that the side effects of the antidote were unknown when he passed it to him.

He had thought that Shichu said those words to provoke him back then, but the fact was…

At that thought, Muchen frowned and uttered solemnly, "What is it?”

"Have you experienced any physical discomfort or emotional swing recently, such as being easily irritable or… showing a propensity for violence?"

Xiyi paused before he spat the last four words.

After asking the question, he suddenly recognized that it was inappropriate to ask such a question in the presence of Ziyue because Muchen might not answer truthfully.

A propensity for violence was not a favorable sign.

When Muchen was young, he often fought with his peers.

Although he was passionate and irritable when he was young, he seldom roughed up as he grew older and matured.

He would restrain his emotions in normal conditions unless the situation was unbearable.

"Didn't you ask Ziyue the same question?” Muchen's eyes darkened, but one could not tell his emotions.

Although Xiyi was a physician, he did not study psychology, so reading one's psychological behavior was not his forte.

He pressed his lips and adjusted his glasses. "I did.”

Then, he filled Muchen in on the conversation with Ziyue.

After hearing Xiyi's explanation, Muchen lifted his brows and hummed, "I see.”

Xiyi was perplexed at the response.

He could treat complex diseases, but he could not read one's mind.

He looked at Ziyue to seek help.

Ziyue thought about it and said, "Doctor Mo, you must be exhausted after staying up all night at the lab. Why don't you go back and rest first? We can continue the topic some other time.”

Ziyue, too, realized that even if Muchen experienced the symptoms Xiyi described, he couldn't possibly admit it personally.

She even optimistically thought that Muchen was completely normal and did not show the symptoms mentioned.

Although Muchen had fought with Shichu and roughed the bodyguards up for her sake, these were not abnormal behavior for him.

After all, he could not hold in anger when the matter involved Ziyue.

Xiyi mentioned that Muchen might be suppressing himself.

In fact, Muchen had some abnormal behavior when he was in Yunzhou City, but he became normal after some time.

Ziyue reckoned he must have managed to control the side effects of the antidote. Since that was the case, she would rather Xiyi not bring up the topic.

After all, no one would desire to be deemed mentally unwell.

Perceiving Ziyue's intention, Xiyi was startled for a while before he stood up and said, "I shall take my leave first, then. Please contact me anytime if you need help."

Ziyue walked Xiyi to the door and returned to the couch to see Muchen resting with his eyes closed.

"Did you not sleep well last night?” Ziyue sat down beside Muchen and asked concernedly.

"Come and rest with me.” Muchen opened his dark eyes and stared fixedly at Ziyue.

For some reason, Ziyue found his gaze bizarre and was flustered by the stare.

She nodded and hummed, "Sure. Let's go.”
