Chapter 633 Could She Refuse?
Muchen and Ziyue quietly embraced for the rest of the journey to the company. Neither of them talked about Gricy
or Hanyan.
It was silent and peaceful in the car.
When they arrived at the company, they did not discuss anything else but became busy with their tasks.
Ziyue organized Muchen's schedule for the day and realized he had to leave the company early in the afternoon.
She glanced at Muchen and read through the schedule in her hand before approaching him. "Will you be leaving
work earlier today?"
"I have something." Muchen realized his words sounded wrong and explained, "Princess Aika invited me."
"Princess Aika?"
Muchen detected the surprise in Ziyue's tone and turned to her, only to find her looking at him with shining eyes.
He could not resist smiling at her. "Do you want to go?"
"Yes!" Ziyue nodded eagerly.
But Muchen dashed her hope. "You have an appointment with Bessalyn to discuss the collaboration project."
Ziyue parted her mouth in shock and said, "How… How did you know?"
She knew he was busy and did not expect him to have time to keep tabs on her matter.
Muchen looked at her and answered leisurely, "I know everything."
Ziyue rolled her eyes at him.
She had indeed arranged for a meeting with Bessalyn in the afternoon. Therefore, she was unable to go with
Muchen to see Aika.
Ziyue did not have friends here. Although Aika was a member of the royal family, she had a good personality, was
calm, and did not have a habit of playing mind games. Ziyue had only known her for half a year but found her quite
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfriendly.
Muchen noticed her reluctance and said, "If you really wish to go, you can call Bessalyn to postpone the meeting.
Then, you can follow me to see Princess Aika."
"It's all right. You can go without me. I want to complete the work with Bessalyn as soon as possible." She had no
desire to keep working with a woman who desired her husband.
Muchen seemed to understand her thinking and did not try to persuade her again.
…
Bessalyn arrived shortly after Muchen left in the afternoon.
She asked Ziyue when she came in, "Is Mr. Qin not in the company?"
Ziyue glanced at her indifferently. "No, he's not."
Why do you care whether he's here? It's not like he's willing to see you.
This woman is weird. The more a man ignores her, the more persistent she gets.
Thank goodness this meeting is to confirm everything for the final time. We won't have to meet again after this.
"Where is he then?" Bessalyn pretended not to notice Ziyue's cold attitude and continued, "I heard he met with the
queen a few days ago. Is that right?"
"Where did you hear it from?" Ziyue turned to Bessalyn upon hearing her. "You're quite well informed."
Bessalyn's face instantly flushed with pride. "I know someone in the royal family."
Suzi smiled. She seemed sincere as she said, "That's quite amazing."
I've even received an invitation from Princess Aika to the Royal Ascot.
However, Princess Aika was only using me to threaten Muchen.
"In that case, is Mr. Qin…"
"I'm sorry. As a secretary, I can't reveal my employer's whereabouts to you. After all, it's against professional
conduct."
They had arrived at a meeting room. It was vacant, so Ziyue brought her in. She wanted somewhere quiet to
discuss work with ease.
Thus, she opened the door and politely gestured for Bessalyn to enter. "Please come in."
"Thank you."
Bessalyn entered and sat down. She appeared awkward as she said, "Just now… I was only asking…"
"I know." Ziyue looked at her and smiled. Her eyes glimmered like beautiful crystals. They were a mesmerizing
sight.
Bessalyn could not help but be enthralled by Ziyue despite being a woman herself.
What the heck?
This woman is not as tall, brilliant, or beautiful as I am. Why did I suddenly find her alluring? I might even fall in love
with her if I were a man.
This is ridiculous.
She gripped her folder tightly and looked at Ziyue's serene expression before saying indignantly, "How can you
remain so calm with a rival as powerful as I am going after your husband? Are you not nervous at all?"
Nearly all children from wealthy families seem to be arrogant and conceited.
I, too, suffered from this flaw before I turned nine.
Still, it's something formed by one's environment. It's not something serious.
Ziyue flipped open a document and placed it before Bessalyn. "Miss Bessalyn, I have to correct you as Mrs. Qin. You
are not a rival to me but a woman seeking to get involved in my marriage."
"You…" Bessalyn did not expect Ziyue to remain unaffected even after she boldly declared her intention.
"Anyway, we are at work. Let's not talk about personal matters, okay?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZiyue did not wish to waste another minute on it.
Ziyue had figured out something about Bessalyn's character. While Bessalyn did not harbor evil intentions, she was
not a good person either. Furthermore, she had no sense of integrity.
Therefore, even though Ziyue was impressed with Bessalyn, she would not let down her guard.
The two began to negotiate. Although both refused to give way, they reached an agreement.
Once they finished negotiating, Ziyue stood up first and said, "I hope we can work together again."
"There won't be another time." Bessalyn tilted her head and looked at her unimpressed.
Ziyue wanted to laugh but controlled herself.
As they walked out, Bessalyn asked, "By the way, Mrs. Qin. Are you a fan of Hanyan?"
Ziyue slowed her steps when she heard Hanyan's name. Her expression was a little strange, but her tone was
unaffected. "No."
"How did you guess her so quickly when I messaged you previously? She had retired from acting. How could you
have guessed her if you weren't following the news about her?"
Ziyue answered indifferently, "She was famous."
Hanyan had caused several incidents in this country, but wealthy ladies like Bessalyn would not go out of their way
to keep up with celebrity news. Still, she might find something if she bothered to check.
Bessalyn shrugged at her answer and did not speak again.
Ziyue led her to the elevator and suddenly thought of something. "Where are you heading to now that work is
over?"
Bessalyn was surprised by her question. "I'm going to the set. Hanyan is filming an advertisement today."
"I would like to watch her. Is it okay?" Ziyue asked and entered the elevator.
Bessalyn pursed her lips. Can I refuse her?
