    Chapter 666 The Man She Had Been Missing


    When Ziyue came down the stage, she saw Jingshu and Xia.


    She took Zixi from a servant and walked to the two. "I have to trouble you to take care of Zixi. I don''t


    trust anyone else."


    As the host, it was only natural for her to deal with these people. It wasn''t convenient to bring Zixi with


    her.


    Without Muchen in the country, she had to be careful.


    "Alright." Xia immediately nodded.


    Ziyue responded with a smile. She took a ss of red wine from a waiter''s tray before turning to leave.


    She strolled, and her graceful figure was beautiful. She had the nobility of ady from an aristocratic


    family.


    Xia stared at her for a while beforeing to her senses. She turned and saw Jingshu picking Zixi up


    and putting him on a chair.


    After that, he sat down opposite Zixi and fed him fruits.


    Xia used her elbow to nudge him and muttered softly, "Don''t you think that Ziyue is more elegant after


    returning from Country J?"


    Jingshu raised his eyes and nced at her. He stuffed a piece of fruit into his mouth and said slowly,


    "Isn''t this natural…"


    He suddenly paused and lifted his head to look at Xia. He sized her up and gestured at her.


    Xia walked over in confusion. "What?"


    When she leaned closer, Jingshu put one hand on her shoulder and said half-jokingly, "Although you


    have half her good looks, your elegance can be groomed if you marry someone with a good family


    background."


    Xia put on a fake smile. "Good family background?"


    Jingshu nodded and coughed dryly. "For example, like me."


    "Heh." Xia rolled her eyes at him before turning to leave. "I''m going to the washroom."


    Jingshu called out behind her. "Hey!"


    Xia walked away faster. She reached out to touch her face. It was burning.


    Who would tter themselves like this?


    Marry Jingshu? She really had never thought about it.


    But she had no expectations because she understood the wide gap between them. She didn''t dare


    think about it for the time being.


    Jingshu''s family had been involved in politics for the past few generations. Marrying into such a strict


    family was moreplicated than marrying into a wealthy family.


    They could only take it one step at a time.


    Xia walked into the washroom. She turned on the tap and sshed cold water on her face.


    When she raised her head again, she realized her makeup was messed up. She could only take her


    compact powder from her bag to fix her makeup.


    Just as she took herpact powder out, she saw another person''s face in the mirror.


    She suddenly widened her eyes and turned to look at the person before her in disbelief. "You…"


    …


    "You have great skin, Mrs. Qin. You don''t look like someone who has given birth. You''re like a young


    girl."


    "That''s right. How do you usually maintain your good looks, Mrs. Qin…"


    Ziyue was dumbstruck.


    When women ttered other women, they naturally started with attire and appearances.


    After making a round of greetings, Ziyue was tired of hearing such words.


    What do they mean, like a young girl?


    I''m not even twenty-five years old. Am I not still a young girl?


    She managed to find time to sit down and rest. She asked for a ss of water from a waiter, but she


    received Xia''s call before she could drink it.


    When she answered, she heard Xia''s anxious voice. "Ziyue, something is wrong with my evening


    gown. Come and help me in the washroom."


    "What''s wrong?" Ziyue spoke as she put the ss of water in her hands to one side before walking to


    the washroom.


    She remembered that Xia was in a strapless evening gown tonight.


    After hanging up, she looked around but didn''t see Jingshu and Zixi.


    Yichen noticed Ziyue''s hurried footsteps as she walked out, so he asked, "Mrs. Qin, did something


    happen?"


    Ziyue''s footsteps stopped. She said, "It''s something minor. Look after this ce and make sure


    everyone is careful so nothing happens."


    Although no one was more powerful in Yunzhou City now than Muchen, it was better to be careful.


    Yichen nodded in response. Ziyue was reassured by his work ethic.


    She took another half a step forward before she turned to look at Yichen. She asked slightly awkwardly,


    "Can you lend me your coat?"


    A trace of astonishment streaked across Yichen''s face, but he didn''t say anything. He took off his coat


    and gave it to her.


    …


    As Ziyue left the banquet hall, the path to the washroom was empty.


    She wrinkled her brows slightly. She remembered that Yichen had arranged for bodyguards to patrol


    each security exit of the banquet hall. Why was no one here?


    Perhaps they happened to be patrolling elsewhere.


    Ziyue was slightly perplexed as she walked forward before she suddenly stopped.


    That''s not right!


    She was about to turn and return to the banquet hall when an arm suddenly popped out and wrapped


    around her waist. The next moment, the arm''s owner lifted her onto his shoulder.


    Ziyue''s first reaction was to struggle with all her might. "Help…"


    ''Smack!''


    Ziyue''s figure froze. This man had hit her butt…


    D*mn!


    Even though her dress today wasn''t short, it rode up a little as the person carried her on his shoulders.


    She could only use the coat in her hands to cover up.


    After that, she quickly calmed down. "Who are you? What do you want? I''m the host of tonight''s


    banquet, and Lumiere Jade House is my territory. You can never take me out of here safely!"


    The man carrying her said nothing. He only reached out to snatch the coat from her and threw it to one


    side.

    This man was covered up. She hadn''t seen his face clearly, so she tried hard to heave herself up and


    see the man''s face. She unintentionally took a deep breath and smelled the man''s familiar scent.


    Doubt flickered across her fair face.


    How can… this be?


    Shouldn''t he be in Country J? How can he be back in the country?


    But she wouldn''t be mistaken!


    Before she knew it, the man had carried her into the escapeway and walked upstairs.


    The floor above the banquet hall had guest rooms. The man carried her and walked out from the stairs


    before he opened one of the doors and carried her in.


    Only a few minutes had passed since the man had carried her on his shoulder and brought her into the


    room.


    Once they were in the room, the man put her down. Before the lights were turned on, he pressed her


    against the door and pressed against her. One hand held her waist tightly, while the other held her


    head gently as he kissed her.


    The lights weren''t on in the room, and the curtains of the French windows weren''t drawn. Some light


    streamed through the windows, but the man was against the light, so Ziyue couldn''t see his face


    clearly.


    However, his familiar scent indicated to her that the man before her was the man she had been


    missing.
