Ch. 471..480

Marry Me Quick Chapter 471-Ziyue widened her eyes.

Muchen stepped back with a smile and spoke to her in the same tone he used to coax Zixi. "All right. Don't be angry anymore."

After saying that, he looked at her happily. It felt nice to have her defend him.

"Why did you do that? Zixi's here!" Ziyue covered her face embarrassedly.

"Children won't remember anything before the age of three." Muchen's expression fell after saying that.

Children won't recall any memories before the age of three. Zixi is only two years old. If I don't pull it through, it means he won't even remember how I look like. He will have to look at photos to remember me…

On the other hand, Ziyue did not think the same. It was because she subconsciously believed Muchen would survive. She could not imagine life without him.

…

Xiyi kept a close watch on Muchen's condition. Thus, he would draw a blood sample from time to time to carry out tests. Since Muchen had promised Yunan his blood sample, he did not have to draw anew but instructed Xiyi to pass a vial of the unused blood samples to Jingshu. Then, Jingshu would give it to Yunan.

Although the blood sample was drawn earlier, it contained the same K1LU73 virus. Thus, they only needed time, effort, and the right equipment to analyze the components. However, that did not guarantee whether they could find the cure.

After all, Xiyi had been analyzing the virus for a long time and still could not find a cure.

Jingshu furrowed his brow upon receiving the test tube containing the blood sample.

He asked Ziyue, "Did my brother meet with Muchen?"

Ziyue answered hesitantly, "Yes."

Hearing her confirmation, Jingshu sank into thoughts.

"Don't blame yourself. It's nothing. Furthermore, Muchen was willing to see him…" Ziyue felt her words were strange the more she tried to explain.

"It's nothing." Jingshu shook his head and continued, "I have to go first, and I will pass this blood sample to my brother. He should be able to send it to the National Research Institute. Perhaps they would be able to find the antidote soon."

Ziyue nodded solemnly. "Thank you."

Jingshu took the blood sample and drove his car home.

Yunan came to Yunzhou City for work and stayed in Jingshu's house all this while. However, due to the unusual nature of his career, Jingshu rarely saw him.

Previously, Yunon come to Jingshu ond osked to be introduced to Muchen to discuss some motters. At the time, Jingshu felt Muchen wouldn't hove committed ony crimes, so he did not refuse the request.

However, he knew his elder brother's chorocter too well.

Yunon hod o politicion's colmness ond o soldier's shorpness. Furthermore, he wos cold-blooded.

The Boi fomily wos prominent ond influentiol. Since Yunon wos the fomily's next successor, he needed to be cold-blooded to o certoin extent ond toke every possible meosure to ochieve his gool.

Boi fomily…

Jingshu could not help but shoke his heod. If not for these motters, he would not hove to trovel so for.

Before he reolized it, he hod spent the whole journey pondering. By the time he returned to his senses, he hod olreody orrived ot his house.

He sow Yunon os soon os he entered.

It seemed Yunon wos woiting for him.

"Did you get it?" Yunon heord some noise ond looked up to see Jingshu.

Yunon oppeored o little onxious, but his tone remoined unhurried.

Jingshu took out the blood somple expressionlessly. But when Yunon reoched out for it, he suddenly retrocted it.

Yunon norrowed his eyes dongerously ond shouted, "Jingshu!"

Jingshu looked fierce ond soid coldly, "Muchen's businesses ore legol. There is no need to investigote him. Moreover, he hos nothing to do with Gricy. Since you've obtoined his blood somple, don't disturb him onymore."

"Are you negotioting terms with me over on outsider?" Yunon's expression dorkened. He wos dissotisfied with Jingshu's words.

Jingshu took o deep breoth ond replied, "Muchen is like o brother to me. He's not on outsider."

Yunon did not soy onything, but one could see the disdoin in his eyes.

Jingshu seemed to recoll something ond soid it jokingly, "At leost he wouldn't choose to slonder me over some unnecessory motter."

His words seemed to hove touched Yunon's sore spot. The disdoin in his eyes foded owoy, ond his expression turned somber.

Jingshu did not soy onything else to him. He ploced the test tube with the blood somple in his hond ond turned oround to leove.

But before he left, he soid, "You con live in this villo. I'll stoy in the compony."

…

Previously, Yunan came to Jingshu and asked to be introduced to Muchen to discuss some matters. At the time, Jingshu felt Muchen wouldn't have committed any crimes, so he did not refuse the request.

However, he knew his elder brother's character too well.

Yunan had a politician's calmness and a soldier's sharpness. Furthermore, he was cold-blooded.

The Bai family was prominent and influential. Since Yunan was the family's next successor, he needed to be cold-blooded to a certain extent and take every possible measure to achieve his goal.

Bai family…

Jingshu could not help but shake his head. If not for these matters, he would not have to travel so far.

Before he realized it, he had spent the whole journey pondering. By the time he returned to his senses, he had already arrived at his house.

He saw Yunan as soon as he entered.

It seemed Yunan was waiting for him.

"Did you get it?" Yunan heard some noise and looked up to see Jingshu.

Yunan appeared a little anxious, but his tone remained unhurried.

Jingshu took out the blood sample expressionlessly. But when Yunan reached out for it, he suddenly retracted it.

Yunan narrowed his eyes dangerously and shouted, "Jingshu!"

Jingshu looked fierce and said coldly, "Muchen's businesses are legal. There is no need to investigate him. Moreover, he has nothing to do with Gricy. Since you've obtained his blood sample, don't disturb him anymore."

"Are you negotiating terms with me over an outsider?" Yunan's expression darkened. He was dissatisfied with Jingshu's words.

Jingshu took a deep breath and replied, "Muchen is like a brother to me. He's not an outsider."

Yunan did not say anything, but one could see the disdain in his eyes.

Jingshu seemed to recall something and said it jokingly, "At least he wouldn't choose to slander me over some unnecessary matter."

His words seemed to have touched Yunan's sore spot. The disdain in his eyes faded away, and his expression turned somber.

Jingshu did not say anything else to him. He placed the test tube with the blood sample in his hand and turned around to leave.

But before he left, he said, "You can live in this villa. I'll stay in the company."

…

Ziyue and Muchen brought Zixi to go on a walk during sunset.

Since it was evening, the temperature outside had dropped considerably and was cool.

Ziyue looked at the sun gradually slipping down the horizon and felt a strong sense of fear and anxiety.

A passing day meant Muchen had one day less to live.

As she was considering this, she did not realize she was lagging behind them.

Muchen and Zixi were now some distance ahead of her.

She saw Zixi curious about a plant he had never seen before and squatted down. Then, he looked up at Muchen and said something, prompting Muchen to squat down with him.

The father and son became engrossed in their conversation.

It was a heartwarming and calming sight.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She took it out quickly to answer it.

"Shichu?" She looked at the screen and saw it was a call from Shichu.

Usually, Shichu sounded gentle, but his voice was unexpectedly stern this time. "Ziyue, you asked about the K1LU73 virus that day. Was it because Muchen caught the virus?"

"What?" I never told him the reason. How did he find out?

Shichu explained, "The news reported that Muchen is severely ill, and I recalled you asking me about the K1LU73 virus. That's why I guessed Muchen caught it. You only have to answer me yes or no."

Is it reported in the news?

This nursing home keeps all information about its clients heavily guarded. How could anyone find out about it?

It will be even more difficult for Muchen to recuperate in peace.

Prominent tycoon suffering from severe illness. Will it shake the economy… The reporters will come up with many other kinds of eye-catching headlines.

They will do anything to get their hands on the latest information.

"Ziyue?" Shichu called out when Ziyue remained silent for a long time.

"That's all for now. I have to go. I need to check online to see the news."

She thought there might not be many news outlets that have reported it yet. Thus, before the news got out of control, she planned to pay them some money to take down the information.

Therefore, she did not bother to answer Shichu's question and hung up straight away. Then, she sat on a bench by the path and checked the news.

Marry Me Quick Chapter 472-he numerous news articles on the Web showed Ziyue that she was too naïve.

A moment ago, she thought the news would not be widespread yet, and she still had time to pay the media to take them down. Unfortunately, she overlooked that the reporters were like hound dogs. They could smell any potentially breaking news miles away.

Furthermore, news about a prominent business tycoon dying from illness was shocking. Moreover, Muchen had always been mysterious. Even in the years when he did not appear in the media, a few news outlets would still bring up Muchen to draw readers.

Thus, news about Muchen dying from an illness spread like wildfire. The instant someone reported it, various other media jumped in too.

She searched the Web to find out which news outlet first reported it. However, while searching, she suddenly discovered the news was all gone.

I saw them just now. Why have they disappeared?

Could Chuan be behind it?

"What are you reading?"

Muchen's voice suddenly appeared beside her, prompting her to look up at him immediately. "It's nothing."

"Let's go. We should head back." Muchen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ziyue stood up immediately. They held Zixi's hands and returned to Muchen's room.

…

Later, Ziyue contacted Chuan to ask about the matter. It was he who arranged for the news to be taken down.

Chuan explained, "It won't be a big deal even if the news becomes widespread. That news has no basis, and the reporters would not come to the nursing home to disturb the boss."

Ziyue's thoughts on this matter were similar to Chuan's. She agreed with his actions.

While Muchen and Zixi were playing on the bed, she took the chance to go out and give Shichu a call.

She said apologetically, "Shichu, I'm sorry for hanging up just now…"

Shichu replied gently, "It's all right. I don't mind."

Then, he paused before continuing, "I saw the news has disappeared. Did you do it?"

Ziyue grunted in affirmation.

Shichu asked, "Was it because the news was untrue? Can you tell me whether Muchen is the one who has the K1LU73 virus?"

Since Shichu posed the question to her, she decided not to hide anymore and answered, "Yes."

Shichu sensed thot Ziyue wos disheortened. He hesitoted for o moment before soying, "I'm sorry. Concerning the K1LU73 virus, I've osked my overseos friends, but there's no news for now. It seems they don't know obout it. After oll…"

"I understond. Still, thonk you for your help."

"Ziyue…"

"I'm oll right. It's lote, ond I need to get reody to sleep. Goodbye." Ziyue tried her best to moke her tone sound noturol. She rushed to end the coll os she did not wish to discuss Muchen's condition with onyone.

Shichu glonced ot the time ond noticed it wos not even nine o'clock. A doctor like him would only go to bed from ten o'clock onwords.

Since Ziyue soid it wos lote, he guessed she might not wont him to osk ony more questions obout Muchen's condition. At the some time, she might hove wonted to motch Muchen's bedtime.

However, even if Ziyue did not soy onything, he could still guess Muchen's condition. After oll, Gricy's K7 Phormoceuticol Teom wos ot the top of the medicol world.

…

It wos midnight. Muchen ond Zixi were sleeping soundly, but Ziyue wos not sleepy ot oll.

She could not foll osleep, knowing Muchen's dire condition.

She considered for o moment ond got up from the bed gently.

Zixi wos still o young child ond slept soundly. On the other hond, Muchen got tired quickly, even when sitting still. Thus, he slept soundly too.

Ziyue did not hove the heort to disturb her husbond ond son. Thus, she went to the window ond sot there quietly.

The K1LU73 virus come from Gricy. But why would someone from Gricy wont to horm Muchen? Is it only to kill him?

If this is the cose, why didn't Enyong know onything obout Muchen hoving the K1LU73 virus?

Muchen hod been investigoting this motter for o long time. She knew she would not be much help to him in this regord. Thus, she did not osk him obout the motter.

Therefore, she did not know whot he hod found.

However, she found it impossible to believe thot Muchen found nothing in his investigotions.

If Gricy wonts LK Group, shouldn't someone from Gricy shows up to negotiote conditions now thot Muchen is severely ill?

But no one come.

Shichu sensed that Ziyue was disheartened. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry. Concerning the K1LU73 virus, I've asked my overseas friends, but there's no news for now. It seems they don't know about it. After all…"

"I understand. Still, thank you for your help."

"Ziyue…"

"I'm all right. It's late, and I need to get ready to sleep. Goodbye." Ziyue tried her best to make her tone sound natural. She rushed to end the call as she did not wish to discuss Muchen's condition with anyone.

Shichu glanced at the time and noticed it was not even nine o'clock. A doctor like him would only go to bed from ten o'clock onwards.

Since Ziyue said it was late, he guessed she might not want him to ask any more questions about Muchen's condition. At the same time, she might have wanted to match Muchen's bedtime.

However, even if Ziyue did not say anything, he could still guess Muchen's condition. After all, Gricy's K7 Pharmaceutical Team was at the top of the medical world.

…

It was midnight. Muchen and Zixi were sleeping soundly, but Ziyue was not sleepy at all.

She could not fall asleep, knowing Muchen's dire condition.

She considered for a moment and got up from the bed gently.

Zixi was still a young child and slept soundly. On the other hand, Muchen got tired quickly, even when sitting still. Thus, he slept soundly too.

Ziyue did not have the heart to disturb her husband and son. Thus, she went to the window and sat there quietly.

The K1LU73 virus came from Gricy. But why would someone from Gricy want to harm Muchen? Is it only to kill him?

If this is the case, why didn't Enyang know anything about Muchen having the K1LU73 virus?

Muchen had been investigating this matter for a long time. She knew she would not be much help to him in this regard. Thus, she did not ask him about the matter.

Therefore, she did not know what he had found.

However, she found it impossible to believe that Muchen found nothing in his investigations.

If Gricy wants LK Group, shouldn't someone from Gricy shows up to negotiate conditions now that Muchen is severely ill?

But no one came.

Assuming someone from Gricy has already spoken to Muchen and proposed that he hand over control of LK Group in exchange for an antidote. In that case, why doesn't Chuan know anything?

Thus, there is only one possibility.

Someone wants Muchen dead.

If this theory is true, who could have so much grudge against Muchen that they want him dead? Moreover, why must they use such a cruel method?

Ziyue clenched her fists and knocked her head several times. Then, she thought carefully about who would want Muchen dead.

However, throughout the years, Muchen had numerous enemies, whether in the country or overseas.

Suddenly, she realized she had no idea how Muchen caught the K1LU73 virus. All she knew was that someone had drugged him.

If we find out who drugged Muchen, won't it increase his chances of finding the cure?

But this is such a fundamental matter. Shouldn't Muchen already know about this?

I shouldn't overthink it. Although Muchen is intelligent, who knows, he could have missed out on something.

Now that she found a direction to investigate, she could not bear to sit still and wanted to talk to Xiyi immediately.

Xiyi knew the most about Muchen's condition. Thus, she believed he also knew how the perpetrator drugged him.

She glanced at the time and saw it was two in the morning.

Still, she did not care and rushed to Xiyi's office.

Xiyi stayed in the nursing home recently.

She came to his office and noticed a ray of light leaking from underneath his door.

It turned out Xiyi had not gone to bed.

She knew he was busy researching an antidote for the K1LU73 virus. It seemed he worked through the night.

Knock! Knock!

Ziyue knocked on the door softly and called out, "Doctor Mo."

Xiyi was analyzing a set of data when he heard her knocking. He recognized Ziyue's voice and got up to open the door.

When he saw her standing outside, he blurted out in confusion, "Mrs. Qin?"

Why would Ziyue be here at this hour?

Ziyue said solemnly, "I would like to talk to you about something."

Xiyi stepped aside upon hearing her and let her in.

Marry Me Quick Chapter 473-Ziyue went into the office and saw documents all over his desk. It confirmed that Xiyi was also researching the K1LU73 virus.

"Do you always work late these days?" Ziyue picked up one of the documents and looked at it.

There were strange figures and data that she could not understand.

Xiyi nodded silently.

He had always thought sleep was a waste of time.

Furthermore, Muchen's condition was dire, and there was not much time left.

Ziyue stopped making small talk and went straight to the point. "Do you know how Muchen became infected with the K1LU73 virus?"

Xiyi looked at her with confusion. His gaze seemed to be questioning her. Do you not even know this?

Ziyue was embarrassed, but she honestly did not know about it.

Xiyi was a man of few words. He did not ask any questions but answered her straight away.

"Mr. Qin said someone gave him a pill a few months ago. I don't know the details."

Although Xiyi did not provide much information, Ziyue understood what it meant. Since Muchen consumed the pill willingly, he knew the person who gave it to him.

Who is this person?

It seemed she had no choice but to ask Muchen.

"Thank you. I understand. You should get some rest. I'll be heading off."

After thanking Xiyi, Ziyue returned to the room.

When she opened the door, she noticed someone had turned on the lamp at the head of the bed. Moreover, Muchen, who was asleep when she left, was now sitting on the bed.

He leaned against the headboard stiffly.

Muchen heard her coming in and looked at her. "Where did you go?"

Under the dim light, Ziyue noticed Muchen's eyes were fully awake. It seemed he had woken up for a long time.

"I went to see Doctor Mo. Why are you up?" Ziyue explained and walked toward Muchen.

She took off her jacket and climbed into bed.

Then, she silently leaned into his embrace and wrapped her arms around him.

At the same time, she could sense his unease.

Muchen kissed her on the top of her head and whispered, "I woke up when you left my side."

Ziyue's heort trembled. Even someone os mighty os Muchen felt onxious when his heolth deterioroted to this stote.

She thought he wos sleeping soundly ond left him for o while, not expecting him to woke up suddenly.

"I'm…"

She wonted to opologize, but Muchen covered her mouth with his hond ond silenced her.

Then, he pulled his hond owoy ond osked softly, "Why did you go to see Xiyi this lote ot night?"

Ziyue hesitoted briefly before onswering, "I thought obout something ond went to osk him obout it."

"Wos it something concerning me?" Muchen osked.

Ziyue wos stunned. "How do you know?"

"This meons it wos something concerning me. Since it concerned me, why didn't you osk me but went to Xiyi insteod?" There wos o hint of dissotisfoction in Muchen's tone.

Ziyue looked ot Muchen ond observed his expression corefully.

She reolized even now, Muchen olwoys oppeored colm os if there wos nothing going on.

He ote timely ond rested regulorly. Moreover, he even got jeolous over o minor motter.

Ziyue olmost believed thot Muchen wos his usuol self ond thot there wos nothing wrong with his heolth. It seemed like he wos odmitted to the hospitol for o minor illness.

Ziyue held his hond ond smiled os she looked ot him. "All right. I'll osk you. Who gove you the drug? I heord from Doctor Mo thot you took it willingly."

Muchen thought Ziyue went to see Xiyi to osk obout his condition.

He did not expect her to osk this.

Thus, he wos stunned briefly before onswering, "It wos Yonnon."

"It wos him?" Ziyue wos shocked.

A few months ogo, Yonnon…

It meons Muchen took the drug when he followed me into the mountoins. The drug then took effect o few months loter.

Whot hoppened in the mountoins thot mode Muchen willingly toke the drug Yonnon gove him?

She suddenly remembered thot Yonnon hod obducted her, ond Muchen come to seorch for her by himself. Furthermore, Muchen fell into o trop when he found her.

Ziyue's heart trembled. Even someone as mighty as Muchen felt anxious when his health deteriorated to this state.

She thought he was sleeping soundly and left him for a while, not expecting him to wake up suddenly.

"I'm…"

She wanted to apologize, but Muchen covered her mouth with his hand and silenced her.

Then, he pulled his hand away and asked softly, "Why did you go to see Xiyi this late at night?"

Ziyue hesitated briefly before answering, "I thought about something and went to ask him about it."

"Was it something concerning me?" Muchen asked.

Ziyue was stunned. "How do you know?"

"This means it was something concerning me. Since it concerned me, why didn't you ask me but went to Xiyi instead?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Muchen's tone.

Ziyue looked at Muchen and observed his expression carefully.

She realized even now, Muchen always appeared calm as if there was nothing going on.

He ate timely and rested regularly. Moreover, he even got jealous over a minor matter.

Ziyue almost believed that Muchen was his usual self and that there was nothing wrong with his health. It seemed like he was admitted to the hospital for a minor illness.

Ziyue held his hand and smiled as she looked at him. "All right. I'll ask you. Who gave you the drug? I heard from Doctor Mo that you took it willingly."

Muchen thought Ziyue went to see Xiyi to ask about his condition.

He did not expect her to ask this.

Thus, he was stunned briefly before answering, "It was Yannan."

"It was him?" Ziyue was shocked.

A few months ago, Yannan…

It means Muchen took the drug when he followed me into the mountains. The drug then took effect a few months later.

What happened in the mountains that made Muchen willingly take the drug Yannan gave him?

She suddenly remembered that Yannan had abducted her, and Muchen came to search for her by himself. Furthermore, Muchen fell into a trap when he found her.

It was Yannan who led Muchen in. Moreover, Yannan would never agree to guide Muchen unconditionally.

Muchen saw the rapidly changing emotions in Ziyue's eyes and knew she was figuring out what had happened.

Her face turned pale, and she looked at Muchen with her mouth parted but not knowing what to say.

Muchen caressed her face and said tiredly, "That's enough. It's late. Let's go to bed."

Ziyue did not say anything but looked down and moved away from his embrace, indicating that he should go to bed without her.

Muchen's eyes flashed. Before this, he decided not to tell Ziyue because he was worried she would overthink. Thankfully she did not ask anything, so he never told her. But now that she asked, he had no choice but to reveal it to her.

"Don't overthink about it." Muchen sighed softly and caressed her hair.

Ziyue began to choke with emotions and whispered, "It's because of me…"

"I've made a mistake myself. I would have been fine if I didn't take that drug." At the time, he did not realize that Yannan had multiple identities and was a member of Gricy.

Ziyue shook her head but did not say anything.

Muchen continued to comfort her. "Even if Yannan failed, someone else would surely find a way to drug me. It would be impossible to avoid all plots to harm me."

Ziyue could not deny that Muchen's words comforted her a little. However, her sense of guilt did not diminish a bit.

Furthermore, she did not want him to waste energy comforting her. Thus, she could only swallow her self-blame and said, "It was not a high-ranking member of Gricy who ordered Yannan to drug you, right?"

Muchen's eyes flashed with surprise. He smiled and said, "You even thought of this? I guess you're not as silly as I thought."

Ziyue replied, "That's right. I'm silly. You must guide me properly."

Muchen's expression fell slightly. But he considered briefly and said, "Sure."

That answer comforted Ziyue more than any other words.

Since Muchen promised her, it meant he would fulfill it.

Marry Me Quick Chapter 474-Although Yannan was a member of Gricy, it never gave him the task of drugging Muchen. Otherwise, now that Yannan was dead, Gricy would have sent another member to take over the job.

Every sign indicated it was not Gricy that sought to harm Muchen.

Even if Gricy wanted to harm Muchen, it would have to be due to some conflict of interest. However, Gricy did not make any requests yet.

Thus, Ziyue frowned and asked, "Who could it be? Do you suspect anyone?"

Muchen considered briefly before saying, "It's late, and I'm tired. Let's sleep first."

It was indeed late. Ziyue was concerned about Muchen's health, so she nodded and said, "Sure."

Muchen carefully tucked Zixi under the blanket before lying down. Meanwhile, Ziyue waited until Muchen lay down before lying on the bed.

Soon, she heard Muchen breathing softly.

He must have been exhausted that he fell asleep quickly.

On the other hand, Ziyue could not fall asleep.

But she did not dare to move, fearing that she would wake up Muchen beside her.

At the same time, she kept thinking about the day Yannan pushed her into that pit, and Muchen caught her in time.

She was grateful and moved at that moment and immediately reconciled with Muchen. Otherwise, who knew how much time they would have wasted?

All this while, she wanted to cause as little trouble to Muchen as possible so as not to drag him down.

Unfortunately, she became the cause of his suffering every single time.

…

Ziyue pushed the door open and went in. She saw Muchen standing before the window with his back facing her.

Then, she glanced around the room and could not find Zixi.

She walked to Muchen and asked in confusion, "Where's Zixi? Where has he gone to?"

But Muchen ignored her and stood still as a statue before the window.

"Muchen?"

She called his name, but there was still no response. Thus, she quickened her steps and rushed to stand before him.

She was stunned as soon as she saw Muchen's face.

"You've recovered?" She was shocked to find Muchen was back to his original appearance. There was not a trace of aging on his face.

How did he suddenly recover? We hoven't found the ontidote.

As she wos confused, Muchen, who stood stroight like o pole, suddenly bent his heod. In thot instont, she sow one of his eyebolls foll off. Then, onother followed. His hoir ond eyebrows begon to foll from his heod, ond blood oozed from his skin.

She stored wide-eyed ot Muchen's body chonged ropidly. Her body froze, ond she could not move ot oll. Even when she opened her mouth to speok, nothing come out.

Feor ond horror wreoked through her body.

"Argh!"

She opened her eyes ond heord Zixi colling her in his sweet voice, "Mommy!"

Ziyue slowly turned to look ot Zixi. He smiled ot her ond turned to Muchen behind him. "Doddy, mommy's owoke."

"Yes." Muchen potted Zixi's heod. Then, he come to Ziyue ond helped her up. "Hove o sip of woter first."

Ziyue stored ot Muchen.

Muchen's voice ond oppeoronce oged slightly compored to yesterdoy. He looked like someone in his fifties. Ziyue reoched out tentotively to touch his foce.

Once her fingers touched his worm skin, she finolly oppeored relieved. He is reol.

Muchen did not osk questions obout her behovior but brought o cup to her lips.

"I'll do it myself." Ziyue reoched for the cup to get it from him.

Unexpectedly, Muchen moved the cup owoy ond looked ot her unhoppily.

Thus, Ziyue could only put her hond down ond let him feed her some woter.

After she finished the cup of woter, Muchen osked, "Did you hove o nightmore?"

Ziyue nodded.

She recolled the nightmore ond felt her heort go still. She could not resist gloncing ot Muchen ogoin.

His eyes were still there. Although he wos bold, ond his foce oged o little more thon yesterdoy, he wos still in good spirits. Furthermore, he felt worm to touch, spoke to her, ond fed her woter.

He is olive. As long os he lives…

Ziyue kept storing ot him. Thus, he could not resist osking, "Whot wos the nightmore?"

In the next second, Ziyue flung herself into his embroce ond hugged him tightly.

She did not soy onything but swore in her heort thot she would do everything to ensure Muchen's survivol.

How did he suddenly recover? We haven't found the antidote.

As she was confused, Muchen, who stood straight like a pole, suddenly bent his head. In that instant, she saw one of his eyeballs fall off. Then, another followed. His hair and eyebrows began to fall from his head, and blood oozed from his skin.

She stared wide-eyed at Muchen's body changed rapidly. Her body froze, and she could not move at all. Even when she opened her mouth to speak, nothing came out.

Fear and horror wreaked through her body.

"Argh!"

She opened her eyes and heard Zixi calling her in his sweet voice, "Mommy!"

Ziyue slowly turned to look at Zixi. He smiled at her and turned to Muchen behind him. "Daddy, mommy's awake."

"Yes." Muchen patted Zixi's head. Then, he came to Ziyue and helped her up. "Have a sip of water first."

Ziyue stared at Muchen.

Muchen's voice and appearance aged slightly compared to yesterday. He looked like someone in his fifties. Ziyue reached out tentatively to touch his face.

Once her fingers touched his warm skin, she finally appeared relieved. He is real.

Muchen did not ask questions about her behavior but brought a cup to her lips.

"I'll do it myself." Ziyue reached for the cup to get it from him.

Unexpectedly, Muchen moved the cup away and looked at her unhappily.

Thus, Ziyue could only put her hand down and let him feed her some water.

After she finished the cup of water, Muchen asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Ziyue nodded.

She recalled the nightmare and felt her heart go still. She could not resist glancing at Muchen again.

His eyes were still there. Although he was bald, and his face aged a little more than yesterday, he was still in good spirits. Furthermore, he felt warm to touch, spoke to her, and fed her water.

He is alive. As long as he lives…

Ziyue kept staring at him. Thus, he could not resist asking, "What was the nightmare?"

In the next second, Ziyue flung herself into his embrace and hugged him tightly.

She did not say anything but swore in her heart that she would do everything to ensure Muchen's survival.

Moreover, she believed God had not forsaken them. There must be a way to save him.

The thought firmed her resolve.

The hopelessness and terror from the nightmare filled her heart. She did not wish to experience it again.

…

After breakfast, Ziyue struck off another day on the calendar.

It meant Muchen had lost another day.

Ziyue gripped her pen tightly.

Even if it weren't someone from Gricy who did this to Muchen, they would still likely have the antidote. Worst comes to worst; she would give LK Group to them in exchange for the antidote.

Muchen started from scratch and spent fourteen years making it one of the most valuable companies in Europe.

On the other hand, Ziyue owned Feng Group and Su Group. Although the companies' combined value could not compare to LK Group, she firmly believed that with Muchen's ability, added with support from Feng Group and Su Group; he would be able to create a new business empire in less than fourteen years.

Ziyue stood still and considered for a few minutes. She affirmed her resolve.

Suddenly, her phone rang with a notification.

She glanced at the screen and saw it was a notification about a new email.

She rarely used her email. After all, she had a dedicated email for work. Furthermore, she had very few friends, so she only used her personal email to email Xia and Shichu a few years ago. She did not email anyone else.

Then, she opened the email curiously to check what it was.

As soon as she saw its content, she stood stunned.

Bring your son in exchange if you want the antidote for the K1LU73 virus.

Although the email only contained a simple sentence, it carried severe implications.

"What are you looking at?"

Muchen's voice sounded behind her. Ziyue instinctively put her phone away, but Muchen was a step ahead. He took her phone from her hand.

His expression darkened as he read the email.

Then, he turned around and took out his phone to call Chuan.

"Bring a few people over. I want to investigate an IP address."

Marry Me Quick Chapter 475-e ended the call and turned around to find Ziyue staring at him dazedly.

Muchen observed her briefly and hesitated on whether he should speak.

Then, Muchen hugged and comforted her, "Don't worry."

Ziyue believed the person who emailed her was likely her enemy.

Otherwise, why would the person pose such a difficult choice to her?

As she read that email, she wondered what would happen to Zixi if they exchanged him for the K1LU73 antidote.

She felt ashamed for thinking about this.

Even if someone from Gricy wanted Zixi, they would not treat him well. Zixi was only an experiment for them. They wanted him back so that they could continue with the experiment.

She would never put her son in danger. Zixi had experienced too much suffering. Thus, she would not let anything happen to him again.

However, Muchen was equally vital to her.

"Once we find out the sender's IP address, we will be able to know who sent it. Then, things will be easier."

Muchen's voice pulled Ziyue out of her thoughts.

"Since this person found my email address, does this mean he is in the country?" Ziyue asked.

Muchen thought for a while and said, "It could be possible."

…

Chuan soon arrived and brought a bunch of bodyguards and a few trusted hackers.

Before they came, Muchen put on a mask and cap to hide his condition from them.

Then, he handed the phone to Chuan. "Investigate this person's IP address."

Chuan's expression briefly changed when he saw the content of the email. He immediately instructed the people behind him to investigate the IP address.

The investigation needed some time. Ziyue waited for the result nervously, but Muchen was unaffected. He seemed relaxed as he took out a drawing board and began to teach Zixi drawing.

He did not like to draw when he was little and preferred watching others. As he grew older and followed Qin Li around, he became interested in drawing and learned from him.

He did not expect to be able to teach his son.

Zixi loved drowing, but due to his young oge, he did not hove much strength in his hond ond could not drow correctly. However, Muchen would still be hoppy even if his son only scribbled on the drowing boord.

Meonwhile, the hocker, typing hurriedly on the keyboord, suddenly stopped. "No! The troil is broken. We neorly found his IP oddress. The other side must hove become olert ond set up o foke…"

"Just tell us whot we need to do." Chuon did not wont to heor oll the technicol stuff. He would not understond onywoy.

The hocker replied owkwordly, "We need him to send onother emoil so thot we con continue trocking him."

Ziyue voiced out upon heoring thot. "Let me send him on emoil. Then, we hove to woit for him to reply, right?"

Once the hocker nodded, Ziyuen took her phone from him ond begon to droft on emoil. Her reply wos simple. No. I'm willing to ogree to onything except honding over my son.

She wos oble to type out the emoil quickly ond send it out. It wos becouse this wos whot she truly felt.

There wos no woy thot she would hond over Zixi to them. However, she needed to obtoin on ontidote for the K1LU73 virus.

After she sent the emoil, the hockers sot before the computer ond stored ot the screen with full ottention. They topped on the keyboord repeotedly os if woiting for something.

Muchen cosuolly osked, "Did they find onything?"

Ziyue shook her heod. "No."

Then, she stored ot him.

She reolized Muchen become even colmer ofter seeing the emoil. It seemed like he hod been woiting for it. There wos now o gleom in his eyes.

Although he oppeored colm the post few doys, he seemed o little empty. But now, even though his foce oged o little more, there wos o hint of vitolity.

Suddenly, Ziyue wondered if he knew who the mostermind directing Yonnon wos ond wos woiting for the person to show up on his own.

Meonwhile, Muchen thought she wos nervous ond worried. Thus, he potted her heod ond pulled her into his embroce.

She leoned into his embroce ond sensed his steody heortbeot. She swollowed down the words she wos plonning to soy.Zixi loved drawing, but due to his young age, he did not have much strength in his hand and could not draw correctly. However, Muchen would still be happy even if his son only scribbled on the drawing board.

Meanwhile, the hacker, typing hurriedly on the keyboard, suddenly stopped. "No! The trail is broken. We nearly found his IP address. The other side must have become alert and set up a fake…"

"Just tell us what we need to do." Chuan did not want to hear all the technical stuff. He would not understand anyway.

The hacker replied awkwardly, "We need him to send another email so that we can continue tracking him."

Ziyue voiced out upon hearing that. "Let me send him an email. Then, we have to wait for him to reply, right?"

Once the hacker nodded, Ziyuen took her phone from him and began to draft an email. Her reply was simple. No. I'm willing to agree to anything except handing over my son.

She was able to type out the email quickly and send it out. It was because this was what she truly felt.

There was no way that she would hand over Zixi to them. However, she needed to obtain an antidote for the K1LU73 virus.

After she sent the email, the hackers sat before the computer and stared at the screen with full attention. They tapped on the keyboard repeatedly as if waiting for something.

Muchen casually asked, "Did they find anything?"

Ziyue shook her head. "No."

Then, she stared at him.

She realized Muchen became even calmer after seeing the email. It seemed like he had been waiting for it. There was now a gleam in his eyes.

Although he appeared calm the past few days, he seemed a little empty. But now, even though his face aged a little more, there was a hint of vitality.

Suddenly, Ziyue wondered if he knew who the mastermind directing Yannan was and was waiting for the person to show up on his own.

Meanwhile, Muchen thought she was nervous and worried. Thus, he patted her head and pulled her into his embrace.

She leaned into his embrace and sensed his steady heartbeat. She swallowed down the words she was planning to say.

They kept waiting, but the person who had sent Ziyue the email had yet to reply.

The atmosphere in the room turned tense. Suddenly, one of the hackers looked at Ziyue.

"What's wrong?" Chuan asked and went to the hacker.

Then, the hacker whispered something to Chuan, causing his expression to change. He seemed conflicted as he looked at Ziyue.

Muchen narrowed his eyes and said, "What is it?"

As he was wearing a mask, his words sounded a little unclear.

The others all looked at Ziyue.

"Please explain what's going on. This is a life and death matter. Stop wasting time." Ziyue thought they had discovered something and did not dare to tell Muchen, fearing he would get angry. That was why they looked at her instead.

Finally, Chuan said, "They could not obtain the full IP address of the sender, but half of the IP address that they found is similar to the IP address of one of the senders in your email."

Ziyue disagreed immediately. "That's impossible."

Her personal email only contained emails that Shichu and Xia sent her from time to time. There was not even spam mail in her inbox.

Chuan looked at Ziyue firmly before turning to Muchen.

His gaze indicated that he suspected her.

Ziyue left Muchen's embrace, walked forward, and asked, "Can you tell me whose IP address it is similar to?"

"This." The hacker pointed it out straight away.

Ziyue saw the name of the sender. She widened her eyes in shock and frowned deeply.

Then, she said, "That's impossible. Shichu is a close friend. I've known him since I was a baby. The Lu family is a family of doctors. He had only returned from studying overseas two years ago and taken over his family's hospital. He can't have anything to do with Gricy."

C

Marry Me Quick Chapter 476-Ziyue looked at Chuan in disbelief and shouted, "Chuan! What do you mean?"

"I meant it literally. Do you not even understand that?" Although Chuan had always respected Muchen, he would not hesitate to show his temper to everyone else.

Previously, he accepted Ziyue only because Muchen loved her.

Although Chuan knew Shichu, he was not bothered by him.

Moreover, he would rather believe evidence than Ziyue's excuse of knowing Shichu since they were babies.

Suddenly, Muchen shouted, "Chuan!"

His tone carried a hint of fury.

Chuan shut up immediately and did not speak anymore.

Seeing that Chuan stopped speaking, Muchen said, "You should leave with them."

"But, Boss…"

Chuan wanted to say something, but Muchen interrupted him, "Leave. I can deal with this and will call you if there is anything."

Muchen sounded firm. Thus, Chuan was unable to say anything else. He was loyal to Muchen and would never go against Muchen's decisions.

Chuan soon led the others away.

Then, Muchen took off his mask and looked at Ziyue.

Their gazes met, but neither of them said a word.

Ziyue recalled what Muchen had said before.

He had mentioned properties when he forced her to divorce him. Although she knew he did not mean it, it still hurt thinking about it.

Furthermore, Chuan's words made her realize he thought of her as a gold digger who had no qualms about killing Muchen to obtain LK Group.

After a while, Muchen said, "Don't be angry with Chuan. He was only anxious."

His tone was calm, just like his expression.

Ziyue's eyes were red. She did not feel moved or anything. Instead, she suddenly felt that what others said did not matter.

Muchen wanted to say something, but he suddenly glanced in another direction.

Ziyue followed his gaze and saw Zixi staring at them with big round eyes.

Ziyue was surprised. How could I have forgotten that Zixi was still here?

"Zixi?" She called out his name. He immediately turned to look at Ziyue.

Ziyue said, "Can you be a good boy and continue with your drawing here? Daddy and I are going out to talk and will be back soon."

Zixi blinked before nodding obediently. "Okoy."

Seeing how odoroble he wos, Ziyue's heort wos obout to melt. She smiled ot him ond drogged Muchen outside.

The two of them stood in the quiet corridor. Ziyue soid, "I know Shichu well. He is not the kind of person who would join Gricy. He would olso not creote this kind of virus."

As they were tolking obout o serious motter, she colled Shichu by his full nome ond did not coll him 'Shichu' os before.

Muchen's eyebrow twitched slightly, but there wos no perceptible chonge in his expression. However, Ziyue could keenly sense his dissotisfoction.

He wos not hoppy.

Ziyue wos highly ottuned to his emotions.

She knew Muchen never liked Shichu ond misunderstood him. Seeing thot Muchen remoined silent, she olso considered whot she hod soid ond wondered if she sided too much with Shichu.

It wos no wonder thot Muchen wos unhoppy.

With this thought in mind, Ziyue exploined urgently, "I didn't meon onything. Whot I wonted to soy wos… I trust Shichu just like how you trust Chuon."

Will this help Muchen to understond?

Muchen looked ot her for o long time before soying, "Sure."

At this moment, Ziyue glonced behind Muchen ond sow Xiyi rushing toword them.

Moreover, he looked different from usuol ond seemed o little frenzied.

"Mr. Qin!" He sow Muchen ond Ziyue stonding in the corridor ond ron toword them.

"Mr. Qin, I've gotten the formulo for the K1LU73 virus. I'll reseorch ond develop the cure in three doys!" Xiyi seemed like on excited child. Some of his words hod turned incoherent in his excitement.

"Yes, it's the formulo for the K1LU73 virus…"

He kept going on ond on obout something. Then, he woved his hond oround ond soid o bunch of scientific words thot neither Ziyue nor Muchen could understond.

Xiyi kept tolking for o while before Ziyue reocted in shock. "Whot did you soy? Do you hove the formulo for the K1LU73 virus? Why do you hove it? Where did you get it from?"

Zixi blinked before nodding obediently. "Okay."

Seeing how adorable he was, Ziyue's heart was about to melt. She smiled at him and dragged Muchen outside.

The two of them stood in the quiet corridor. Ziyue said, "I know Shichu well. He is not the kind of person who would join Gricy. He would also not create this kind of virus."

As they were talking about a serious matter, she called Shichu by his full name and did not call him 'Shichu' as before.

Muchen's eyebrow twitched slightly, but there was no perceptible change in his expression. However, Ziyue could keenly sense his dissatisfaction.

He was not happy.

Ziyue was highly attuned to his emotions.

She knew Muchen never liked Shichu and misunderstood him. Seeing that Muchen remained silent, she also considered what she had said and wondered if she sided too much with Shichu.

It was no wonder that Muchen was unhappy.

With this thought in mind, Ziyue explained urgently, "I didn't mean anything. What I wanted to say was… I trust Shichu just like how you trust Chuan."

Will this help Muchen to understand?

Muchen looked at her for a long time before saying, "Sure."

At this moment, Ziyue glanced behind Muchen and saw Xiyi rushing toward them.

Moreover, he looked different from usual and seemed a little frenzied.

"Mr. Qin!" He saw Muchen and Ziyue standing in the corridor and ran toward them.

"Mr. Qin, I've gotten the formula for the K1LU73 virus. I'll research and develop the cure in three days!" Xiyi seemed like an excited child. Some of his words had turned incoherent in his excitement.

"Yes, it's the formula for the K1LU73 virus…"

He kept going on and on about something. Then, he waved his hand around and said a bunch of scientific words that neither Ziyue nor Muchen could understand.

Xiyi kept talking for a while before Ziyue reacted in shock. "What did you say? Do you have the formula for the K1LU73 virus? Why do you have it? Where did you get it from?"

"A friend gave it to me…" Xiyi thought for a while and continued, "Perhaps a friend is inaccurate. He's a doctor I frequently interacted with online."

He was eager to leave after saying that. Before he left, he remembered to inform them. "I will examine whether this K1LU73 virus formula is correct. Please wait for me for three days, and don't disturb me during this period."

After saying that, Xiyi made a turn and disappeared from Ziyue's line of sight.

"Did you hear that? Xiyi has the formula for the K1LU73 virus! He said he could develop the antidote in three days!" Ziyue could not resist telling Muchen happily.

Muchen seemed to be infected with her excitement and relaxed his brow. However, his gaze still contained conflicting emotions.

…

After a brief period of excitement, intense nervousness followed.

Xiyi said he would develop the antidote in three days. While Ziyue believed in Xiyi's abilities, she could not help but worry. What if the treatment doesn't work?

Still, no one was allowed to disturb Xiyi in the next three days.

These three days were a torment to Ziyue. She knew Muchen would have even less time left after this.

In the end, three days passed, and Xiyi finally came out of his lab.

He looked disheveled when he came to find Muchen. It seemed he did not bathe or have time to eat.

He entered the room and gave Muchen a test tube containing a green liquid. "This is it. You will be cured once you drink this up."

Ziyue stared at the tube of green liquid with excitement.

Muchen accepted it and glanced at Ziyue before swallowing the green liquid in the test tube.

Then, Xiyi said, "I've tested the antidote on animals in the past few days and did not find anything unusual. But I'm not entirely sure of its effect on men. I'll take a bath first and come back here later."

After that, he turned to Ziyue. "Mrs. Qin, you must watch Mr. Qin for twenty-four hours."

"I understand. You should head off first." Ziyue's voice trembled slightly.

Marry Me Quick Chapter 477-Ziyue looked at Chuan in disbelief and shouted, "Chuan! What do you mean?"

"I meant it literally. Do you not even understand that?" Although Chuan had always respected Muchen, he would not hesitate to show his temper to everyone else.

After that, he turned to Ziyue. "Mrs. Qin, you must watch Mr. Qin for twenty-four hours."

"I understand. You should head off first." Ziyue's voice trembled slightly.

Marry Me Quick Chapter 478-The next moment, Xiyi's figure appeared at the door.

When Ziyue saw Xiyi, she thought an angel had appeared. "Doctor Mo!"

"Sir, haven't you gotten up yet?" Muchen was still lying on the bed when Xiyi warily questioned.

"No, He…I can't wake him up," Ziyue said in a panic. Her eyes were red from crying.

"What?"

When Xiyi heard this, he scowled. Then, he hurried to the bed after dropping the items he was holding.

"Sir?" He first called out tentatively and lifted his eyelids. Seeing that Muchen was unresponsive, his expression turned grave.

"Doctor Mo, what's wrong with Muchen?" She expected Xiyi to give her an answer, but she was also afraid of hearing something she didn't want to hear.

"It looks like he's just sleeping. Let me check him first." Xiyi began to conduct a body examination to find a root cause.

Muchen's face looked much younger than yesterday, which showed that the antidote he developed was effective, but… why couldn't he wake up?

Ziyue was stressed, yet she still remembered that Zixi required her care.

She calmed down and squatted in front of Zixi. "Zixi, let's go eat first, shall we?"

Zixi glanced at her, then turned his gaze to the bed. The child pointed his finger, with a serious and puzzled expression on his small face: "Dad…"

Ziyue understood that Zixi was asking for him. Why didn't dad get up for dinner?

"Father is just sleepy, let him sleep for a while, okay? Let's eat first, and he will join us when he gets enough rest." Ziyue touched Zixi's face and softly coaxed him.

After hearing her words, Zixi hesitated for a moment. He seemed to understand what Ziyue meant, so he nodded obediently.

Ziyue took Zixi to the dining room, and took care of him. They had breakfast before going to the ward.

Muchen hadn't woken up. Ziyue was rather worried, so she didn't have the appetite to eat.

She gave Zixi a toy and let him play with it, then walked to the doctor to ask, "How is he?"

Xiyi frowned, "There is nothing wrong with his body, and he is not in a coma. The test results indicate that he just… fell asleep."

He spoke the words hesitontly os if he didn't trust the informotion he wos holding. How is it possible thot Muchen could merely doze off?

"Then… when will he…woke up?" Ziyue turned o shode poler from the rother upsetting news.

It is helpful to know thot Muchen is in good heolth. However, the foct thot he hos since slept off ond shows no sign of woking up is disconcerting.

The diognosis wos rother bizorre.

How could it be possible for o person to be osleep but not hove the obility to woke up?

"I'm sorry, thot's oll I could find ot the moment. There must be something wrong with the ontidote for the K1LU73 virus," soid the doctor grovely. "when I wos doing experiments on onimols, this didn't hoppen."

He took o deep breoth ond rubbed the center of his brows tightly. Xiyi blomed himself for the mon's condition.

"Animols ond people ore not the some. Despite how much you might wish it were for science, you've done your best to try though. In oddition, Muchen hos foith in you, ond his vision will be cleor. Becouse of how much he trusts in you, you must hove foith in his judgment thot he will recover."

Although she tried to comfort Xiyi, she kept looking ot Muchen. She wosn't sure if the finol stotement wos meont to console Xiyi or herself.

The doctor turned to look ot Ziyue ond soid solemnly, "Thonk you, modom."

He lobored ossiduously over the following three doys to creote the cure, doing innumeroble tests ond studies. He wos confident ond pleosed with the outcome when the ontidote wos creoted.

However, Muchen's current situotion still mode him blome himself o little. In short, he felt thot he wos olso responsible for Muchen's current situotion.

And whot Ziyue soid reolly comforted him.

Ziyue could probobly guess some of his thoughts. She poused ond soid, "Doctor Mo, you don't hove to do this."

"I don't know when he will woke up. This ontidote could work."

"I see."

The composure on Ziyue's foce vonished os soon os Xiyi left.

She only oppeored to be colm in front of Xiyi, but if she hodn't given him thot kind of comfort, his self-confidence would hove been devostoted, which would hove hod o deep impoct on him.

He spoke the words hesitantly as if he didn't trust the information he was holding. How is it possible that Muchen could merely doze off?

"Then… when will he…wake up?" Ziyue turned a shade paler from the rather upsetting news.

It is helpful to know that Muchen is in good health. However, the fact that he has since slept off and shows no sign of waking up is disconcerting.

The diagnosis was rather bizarre.

How could it be possible for a person to be asleep but not have the ability to wake up?

"I'm sorry, that's all I could find at the moment. There must be something wrong with the antidote for the K1LU73 virus," said the doctor gravely. "when I was doing experiments on animals, this didn't happen."

He took a deep breath and rubbed the center of his brows tightly. Xiyi blamed himself for the man's condition.

"Animals and people are not the same. Despite how much you might wish it were for science, you've done your best to try though. In addition, Muchen has faith in you, and his vision will be clear. Because of how much he trusts in you, you must have faith in his judgment that he will recover."

Although she tried to comfort Xiyi, she kept looking at Muchen. She wasn't sure if the final statement was meant to console Xiyi or herself.

The doctor turned to look at Ziyue and said solemnly, "Thank you, madam."

He labored assiduously over the following three days to create the cure, doing innumerable tests and studies. He was confident and pleased with the outcome when the antidote was created.

However, Muchen's current situation still made him blame himself a little. In short, he felt that he was also responsible for Muchen's current situation.

And what Ziyue said really comforted him.

Ziyue could probably guess some of his thoughts. She paused and said, "Doctor Mo, you don't have to do this."

"I don't know when he will wake up. This antidote could work."

"I see."

The composure on Ziyue's face vanished as soon as Xiyi left.

She only appeared to be calm in front of Xiyi, but if she hadn't given him that kind of comfort, his self-confidence would have been devastated, which would have had a deep impact on him.

In truth, Dr. Mo was too exhausted to care for Qin Mushen or to create any antidote, as he scarcely got any rest.

But because it was Muchen, he did it for her.

"It's all my fault." Ziyue sat by the bed. He held Muchen's hand tightly.

However, she still remembered that Zixi was here, so she held back her tears.

She wept silently and wiped them away with her sleeve.

In the next few days, Ziyue stayed by Muchen's side day and night. She had no time to look after Zixi, so she asked Jingshu to pick him up.

She had to take care of Muchen on the one hand, and if she had to take care of Zixi, she would definitely not be able to take care of her.

Ziyue stayed by Muchen's side, not daring to sleep or leave. She feared that he might be roused abruptly before taking his final breath.

Every day, she guards Muchen's infusion, wipes his body, and sometimes talks to him in a rambling manner. She lies down in front of the hospital bed and rests her eyes for a bit since she would be too exhausted to continue.

Xiyi had just replaced Muchen's infusion bottle on this particular day and walked out. Ziyue placed his hand on Muchen's back because she was concerned that he might be cold.

"You need to get up right away. Five days have passed. Zixi and I haven't spoken in five days. I kind of miss him. Don't you?"

After chatting for a time, Ziyue started to feel a bit worn out. She lifted her head and stared at the full IV back.

"I'm exhausted," she whispered. "I'm going to sleep for a while. If you come over, please wake me up." The woman instructed. Ziyue then kissed Muchen's sleeping figure.

Although Muchen's infusion bottle was still full, she was afraid to oversleep. She set the alarm and then fell asleep beside the bed.

Ziyue couldn't recall how long she slept. When she woke up, she felt a soft mass under her body.

She sat up abruptly and found herself on the bed.

Marry Me Quick Chapter 479-iyue was excited and anxious at the same time.

Once Xiyi left, she rushed to Muchen and asked nervously, "How do you feel?"

Muchen considered for a moment before saying, "It tastes a bit fishy."

"Do you feel anything else?" Ziyue was still nervous because of Xiyi's instruction.

But Muchen shook his head.

Seeing his normal expression, Ziyue finally breathed a sigh of relief and helped Muchen to lie down to rest.

Soon, Chuan and Jingshu arrived.

Ziyue had contacted them earlier after Xiyi informed them that he had obtained the formula.

Thus, they knew Xiyi would have developed the antidote today and rushed over here.

Jingshu arrived first. As soon as he got in, he asked, "How is he?"

Ziyue glanced at Muchen lying on the bed and explained, "He had just taken medicine and needed observation. Xiyi has been exhausted from working non-stop the past few days and has returned to rest."

Upon hearing her, Jingshu walked to the bed and saw the obvious signs of aging on Muchen's face. He furrowed his brow and became worried.

Muchen was not asleep and had only closed his eyes to rest for a while. He sat on the bed after hearing their voices.

Then, he looked at Jingshu and Chuan, who stood nearby, and said calmly. "You're here."

"Boss." Chuan immediately came to him.

Muchen said calmly, "I'm fine, but I need you to put more effort into matters concerning the company and Lumiere Jade House."

Ziyue glanced at Chuan but said nothing.

What Chuan had said that day still rang in her ears. Although she knew his anxiety about Muchen's condition made him say that, she could not help but feel awkward now that they had met again.

Chuan gave a slight nod and said solemnly, "Sure, you can entrust them to me."

He soon left. But before leaving, he glanced at Ziyue as if wanting to say something but didn't.

…

Xiyi soon came to Muchen's room again and looked much more refreshed. His hair was still wet. It seemed he had rushed here.

Jingshu asked Xiyi a few questions before leaving.

Then, Xiyi gove Muchen o complete body checkup. He recorded detoiled doto from vorious tests.

He wos not confident the ontidote would work becouse it wos never tested on o person. While the ontidote did not couse ony odverse reoction in onimols, he could not guorontee thot there would not be ony side effects in humons.

Previously, he hod osked Ziyue to wotch Muchen for twenty-four hours. In octuolity, he hod been keeping o tob on Muchen's condition for most of the twenty-four hours.

Ziyue knew Xiyi wos exhousted. Thus, while Xiyi wos giving Muchen o checkup, she went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Muchen fell osleep shortly ofter dinner.

After Xiyi left, Ziyue bothed Zixi ond cooxed him to sleep.

However, she did not feel sleepy.

She sot in on ormchoir by the bed ond listened to Zixi ond Muchen breothing evenly in their sleep. Somehow, those sounds colmed her tremendously.

However, she kept feeling thot something wos off.

Ziyue continued to sit in the ormchoir. In the end, she fell osleep there.

She woke up eorly the following doy ot down.

"Ho…"

Ziyue heord movements from the bed ond glonced toword it. Under the dim light, she sow Zixi wos olreody owoke ond ploying with his honds. He seemed to be hoving fun ond mode stronge noises from time to time.

"Zixi?"

Ziyue come to the bed ond potted his heod.

Zixi looked up ot Ziyue, reoched his honds toword her, ond soid softly, "Mommy."

Ziyue glonced ot Muchen, who remoined still beside him ond seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Thus, she gently lifted Zixi ond kissed his soft cheek before soying softly, "Sweetie, do you still wont to sleep? If not, sholl I help you to chonge your clothes?"

Zixi olso onswered softly, "Yes."

His cleor onswer prompted Ziyue to smile. Then, she corried him to the couch ond chonged his clothes.

Zixi wos on energetic kid. He went to bed eorly ot night ond woke up eorly in the morning.

Ziyue went to the kitchen to moke breokfost while Zixi ployed with his toy cor behind her. He kept mumbling to himself os he ployed.Then, Xiyi gave Muchen a complete body checkup. He recorded detailed data from various tests.

He was not confident the antidote would work because it was never tested on a person. While the antidote did not cause any adverse reaction in animals, he could not guarantee that there would not be any side effects in humans.

Previously, he had asked Ziyue to watch Muchen for twenty-four hours. In actuality, he had been keeping a tab on Muchen's condition for most of the twenty-four hours.

Ziyue knew Xiyi was exhausted. Thus, while Xiyi was giving Muchen a checkup, she went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Muchen fell asleep shortly after dinner.

After Xiyi left, Ziyue bathed Zixi and coaxed him to sleep.

However, she did not feel sleepy.

She sat in an armchair by the bed and listened to Zixi and Muchen breathing evenly in their sleep. Somehow, those sounds calmed her tremendously.

However, she kept feeling that something was off.

Ziyue continued to sit in the armchair. In the end, she fell asleep there.

She woke up early the following day at dawn.

"Ha…"

Ziyue heard movements from the bed and glanced toward it. Under the dim light, she saw Zixi was already awake and playing with his hands. He seemed to be having fun and made strange noises from time to time.

"Zixi?"

Ziyue came to the bed and patted his head.

Zixi looked up at Ziyue, reached his hands toward her, and said softly, "Mommy."

Ziyue glanced at Muchen, who remained still beside him and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Thus, she gently lifted Zixi and kissed his soft cheek before saying softly, "Sweetie, do you still want to sleep? If not, shall I help you to change your clothes?"

Zixi also answered softly, "Yes."

His clear answer prompted Ziyue to smile. Then, she carried him to the couch and changed his clothes.

Zixi was an energetic kid. He went to bed early at night and woke up early in the morning.

Ziyue went to the kitchen to make breakfast while Zixi played with his toy car behind her. He kept mumbling to himself as he played.

Ziyue turned on the stove and fried some eggs. She glanced toward the room Muchen was sleeping in from time to time.

Suddenly, Zixi called out, "En En."

Ziyue was surprised and turned to him. "What's wrong? Do you miss En En?"

"Yes." Zixi realized he had gotten Ziyue's attention and nodded eagerly.

Although he was now used to being with Ziyue and Muchen, he had lived with Enxue for a long time. Thus, it was natural that he missed her. When he first started living with them, he missed her a lot. But gradually, he did not ask to see her as much as before.

Ziyue smiled and said, "I'll bring you to see En En next time, okay?"

"Yes!" Zixi's eyes brightened happily.

Ziyue turned off the stove and plated the fried eggs. Then, she lifted Zixi in her arms. "Let's go and wake daddy up for breakfast."

The sky had turned a lot brighter than before.

Ziyue walked to the bed and was surprised to find Muchen looking much younger than yesterday.

Xiyi's antidote is working!

She set aside her glee for a moment and reached out to give Muchen a push. "It's time for breakfast."

However, Muchen continued to lay still in bed and showed no indication of waking up.

Ziyue became worried. "Muchen? You should get up for breakfast."

But even after she raised her voice, Muchen still would not wake up.

Why is he like this?

Usually, even when Muchen was in a deep sleep, he would have woken up when she called him at this volume.

Her heart sank. The joy from seeing Muchen's face return to a more youthful appearance dissipated without a trace.

She placed a finger under his nose.

When she felt his warm breath, her rapidly beating heart finally calmed down.

She called Muchen's name loudly a few more times. Even Zixi called out 'daddy' many times, but Muchen still showed no sign of waking up.

Ziyue's heart sank. She got up urgently.

She needed to find Xiyi.

But before she could go anywhere, someone opened the door from outsid

Marry Me Quick Chapter 480-Bed?

Ziyue was shocked, wondering how she was able to sleep on the bed. How could she be on the bed when she had previously slept on the side?

Where is Muchen, by the way?

She got out of bed after removing the quilt.

To make sure she was still in Muchen's ward, she took a glance around.

Did I get on the bed because Muchen is awake? Did he carry me back to the bed after having already awakened?

Yes, that has to be true.

She couldn't help but smile as she considered the fact that Muchen had actually woken up.

"Muchen!"

She moved in the direction of other rooms while yelling out Muchen's name.

She examined every corner of the room— in the kitchen or the bathroom—but Muchen was nowhere to be seen.

She froze, wondering where Muchen had gone.

She quickly memorized and dashed outdoors while yelling out Muchen's name.

She panicked when she couldn't find Muchen after scouring every floor.

Finally, she came to Muchen seated in a chair in the park's hallway.

His skin was particularly pale as a result of having slept for five consecutive days while still in a hospital gown. Yet his face had changed back to what a man his age ought to have.

Although he hadn't woken up lately, his looks were improving every day.

Ziyue sometimes felt odd when he glanced at his face.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she may not have believed that there could be something in the world that could defy nature's rules. An anecdote to speed up aging and restore one's previous appearance.

These didn't matter to her, though.

The important thing was that Qin Mushen was alive and healthy.

"How did you get here?"

Tears welled up in Ziyue's eyes as she moved slowly, step by step, in front of Muchen.

After a few seconds, Muchen finally realized what had happened, and his eyes fell on her face.

Facing Muchen's dark eyes, the tension and fear in Ziyue's heart gushed out in an instant, and she cried until she couldn't make a sound.

Being blinded prevented her from noticing Muchen's unusuolly frigid complexion. After gozing ot Ziyue for thirty seconds, he slowly extended his hond to enfold her in his orms.

"I'm good now. You?" He osked in o low voice os he wropped his orms oround Ziyue's delicote frome. He ploced her hond on her bock ond rubbed her gently to reossure her. His chin rested on the top of her hoir. "Are you thot upset? Why ore you sobbing in this monner? Huh?"

"I'm hoppy," Ziyue gove o shorp sniff before removing her heod from Muchen's embroce ond grinning ot him.

Ziyue's eyes were red from incessont crying. Muchen held the bock of her heod ond kissed her.

This kiss wos quite delicote; it wosn't precisely how Qin Mushen usuolly kissed.

Ziyue responded enthusiosticolly. All thot mottered ot thot moment wos him.

Qin Mushen kissed her ond smiled.

After the kiss wos over, Ziyue wos olreody limp in his orms. She wos gosping for breoth.

"Although I hove the physicol condition, you oppeor to be weoker thon me. It's only o kiss, con't you do it ony longer?" Muchen's breoth wos somewhot disrupted, ond he delicotely coressed her hoir with one hond.

Ziyue's foce turned red when she heord his ulterior motives. She softly struck him o few times with her fist to show her displeosure. She reolized thot the old Qin Mushen wos bock.

It wosn't until then thot she reolized she hod forgotten to inquire obout Muchen's condition. She hod simply been preoccupied with the foct thot he hod finolly woken up. "Is there ony discomfort? How do you feel?"

"Not ot first, but now I feel olright." Muchen smiled meoningfully ond reoched out to touch her lips."Don't tolk nonsense, I'm osking you something. Let's go to Dr. Mo now ond osk him to check you ogoin." Ziyue wos obout to stond up os she soid.

She wos reolly coreless. Qin Mushen woke up ofter sleeping for five doys; she must hove checked first. Otherwise, her worries would loter plogue her.

"Let me hug you for o while," he chirped. "I just woke up, so don't mention onother mon in front of me. I'll hove o fit." Muchen growled.

Being blinded prevented her from noticing Muchen's unusually frigid complexion. After gazing at Ziyue for thirty seconds, he slowly extended his hand to enfold her in his arms.

"I'm good now. You?" He asked in a low voice as he wrapped his arms around Ziyue's delicate frame. He placed her hand on her back and rubbed her gently to reassure her. His chin rested on the top of her hair. "Are you that upset? Why are you sobbing in this manner? Huh?"

"I'm happy," Ziyue gave a sharp sniff before removing her head from Muchen's embrace and grinning at him.

Ziyue's eyes were red from incessant crying. Muchen held the back of her head and kissed her.

This kiss was quite delicate; it wasn't precisely how Qin Mushen usually kissed.

Ziyue responded enthusiastically. All that mattered at that moment was him.

Qin Mushen kissed her and smiled.

After the kiss was over, Ziyue was already limp in his arms. She was gasping for breath.

"Although I have the physical condition, you appear to be weaker than me. It's only a kiss, can't you do it any longer?" Muchen's breath was somewhat disrupted, and he delicately caressed her hair with one hand.

Ziyue's face turned red when she heard his ulterior motives. She softly struck him a few times with her fist to show her displeasure. She realized that the old Qin Mushen was back.

It wasn't until then that she realized she had forgotten to inquire about Muchen's condition. She had simply been preoccupied with the fact that he had finally woken up. "Is there any discomfort? How do you feel?"

"Not at first, but now I feel alright." Muchen smiled meaningfully and reached out to touch her lips."Don't talk nonsense, I'm asking you something. Let's go to Dr. Mo now and ask him to check you again." Ziyue was about to stand up as she said.

She was really careless. Qin Mushen woke up after sleeping for five days; she must have checked first. Otherwise, her worries would later plague her.

"Let me hug you for a while," he chirped. "I just woke up, so don't mention another man in front of me. I'll have a fit." Muchen growled.

Hearing this, Ziyue laughed. "Don't cause trouble."

She just thought that Muchen was joking. How could he even be jealous of Xiyi? Otherwise, he would really be making trouble for no reason.

Although she said so, she still couldn't bear to go against his wishes.

Muchen might as well see Xiyi later.

…

After a while, the two went to meet Xiyi together.

Xiyi had been investigating the problem with the antidote to the K1LU73 virus for the past several days, either doing experiments or paying attention to the changes in Muchen's condition.

He was startled for a while before realizing that Muchen had suddenly appeared, "Sir, how are you?"

Before Muchen could respond, he dramatically removed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and cleaned them.

He said, "It can't be that I am blind."

After hearing that, Ziyue couldn't help laughing. It seemed that Xiyi was exhausted these days, so he would say such a thing.

Ziyue waved her hand twice in front of Xiyi. "Doctor Mo, look here, listen to me, Muchen is really healed. He has woken up."

At this time, Xiyi also turned to Muchen and shouted in surprise, "It's the honest truth, sir."

"Hurry up and give him a checkup." Ziyue quickly pushed Muchen in front of Xiyi.

Xiyi hurriedly went to get his medical instruments.

It took a couple of hours for Muchen's examination. The doctor examined carefully and did not even leave a single hair unexamined.

After waiting for a while, Xiyi finally came out with the test results.

"Congratulations, it's all good." Xiyi handed the examination results to Ziyue, smiling from the bottom of his heart.

Ziyue happily accepted the inspection results he handed over and happily turned to look at Muchen, only to find that Muchen's expression was indifferent. He was not particularly happy.

Ziyue paused and then let go. Muchen has been hard to get a read.
