Chapter 680
Chapter 680 Within His Grasp
The woman turned to look at the man, awaiting his response. However, the man stared momentarily at
the direction in which Ziyue left before silently turning around and heading into the car.
He walked slowly with a slight limp in his left leg, but it didn''t diminish his vehemence.
The woman narrowed her eyes and looked at the man before striding forward to support him.
However, the man ruthlessly shoved her hand away.
"You…" The woman''s face darkened, but she didn''t continue.
…
Ziyue sped all the way and arrived at Cloud Bay at half past eleven.
It was a cold night. She shivered in the cold air when she stepped out of the car. She adjusted her
cor and breathed into her palm before entering the vi.
Ke was waiting for her in the living room. When she saw Ziyue, she immediately stood up and said,
"Wee back, Mrs. Qin. Would you like to have some food?"
"Why are you waiting here? Where are the servants?" Ziyue nced around the area and didn''t see
any servants.
Ke smiled. "It''s okay. I can''t fall asleep anyway."
Ziyue nodded and took off her coat. "Where''s Zixi?"

"I put him to bed. I told him he''ll see you when he wakes up."
Ziyue paused briefly and said, "I''ll go and check in on him." With that, she went upstairs.
Halfway there, she saw Zixi standing barefoot at the stairway in his pajamas. From his messy hair and
puzzled look, Ziyue could tell he had just woken up. Her heart melted when she saw his adorable
appearance.
She quickened her pace and ran up to Zixi. Then, she wrapped her coat around Zixi and carried him.
When she felt his cold feet, she warmed his feet with her palm and asked gently, "Why did youe
out?"
Seeing his beloved mother, Zixi encircled Ziyue''s neck with his arms and leaned his head against her,
looking tired.
Children need some time to regain theirposure after waking up. So, Ziyue stopped talking to him
and directly carried him back to his bedroom.
After taking a few steps, Ziyue suddenly heard Zixi blurt softly, "Daddy."
She stopped and looked at Zixi. "What happened? Did you dream of Daddy?"
Zixi looked around and nodded in a daze.
Ziyue tightened her arms around the boy, feeling sorry for him.
After returning to Zixi''s bedroom, she quickly put him back to sleep.
Ke came into the room with a bowl of noodles. "Please have some."
Although Ziyue appeared normal during this period, going to work and taking care of Zixi as usual, only
Ke, who had followed Ziyue for a long time, knew she had not been eating and sleeping well.
She was worried that this would take a toll on Ziyue''s health.
"Thank you." Ziyue sat down and ate the noodles.
Ke sighed inwardly. "No matter what happens, please take care of yourself."
"I will." Ziyue''s hand, which was stirring the noodle, paused midair as she remained silent.
…
After over a month, the public''s attention to the ne crash incident gradually decreased. However, the
missing people remained unounted for. Neither could the authority give an exnation.
Meanwhile, the presidential election in Country J concluded after a month. Ke brought up the matter
during breakfast. "Princess Aika was elected as the vice president."
Ziyue had not closely followed the presidential election, so she asked, "Who''s the president?"
Ke answered a name that Ziyue was not familiar with.
"Is this a result of Gricy''s intervention?" Ziyue put down her cup and asked.
"I can only say it''s an unexpected result."
Ziyue understood Ke''s meaning – her spection was most likely correct.
After breakfast, Ziyue sent Zixi to his kindergarten.
"Mommy wille and pick you up in the evening." Ziyue only returned to her car after Zixi followed his
teacher in.
Everything seemed to have calmed down. During this period, Gricy''s people had not stirred up trouble;
neither did Yunan find any useful clues. There was still no news about Muchen.
That evening, after work, Ziyue received a call from someone whom she had not contacted for some
time. Staring at the familiar iing caller ID, Ziyue hesitated briefly before answering the call.
She didn''t have fond memories of her time in Country J. It was where Muchen''s ne crash incident
happened, so she did not pay much attention to the events in that country thereafter.
In fact, she had almost forgotten about Yuchuan.
When the ne crashed, the local media intended to create news but didn''t dare to go too far.
Meanwhile, Yuchuan, who stayed in Country J, had not responded to the incident.
When Ziyue picked up the call, Yuchuan asked, "When do you n to return?"
"I''m tied down with some matters here, so I won''t be going back in the short term." Ziyue didn''t know
why Yuchuan asked the sudden question, but she didn''t reveal her intention.
"There''s still no news about Muchen now. It seems like the situation is hopeless. I''m worried about you
and Zixi staying alone out there. Regardless, the Mogwin family has recognized you as our
granddaughter-inw."
Yuchuan''s intention was clear – he wanted Ziyue to return. After being puzzled for a moment, Ziyue
understood what Yuchuan was up to as she recalled what Youcheng said.
The only reason someone as greedy as Yuchuan approached her at this moment was because of LK
Group''s wealth. Yuchuan loved manipting others. If Muchen had indeed encountered an unfortunate
event, she would be the primary heir of the corporation. Yuchuan wanted her to return to Country
J so that he could control her and bring LK Group within his grasp.
Muchen had mentioned Yuchuan might have colluded with Gricy, let alone what he had done
previously in Country J. So, Ziyue would not allow him to have his way.
Moreover, she believed Muchen was still alive.
"I appreciate your concern. Don''t worry. I''ll take good care of myself and Zixi. I believe Muchen will
return. I''ll stay in Yunzhou City and wait for him."
Ziyue saw through Yuchuan''s hypocrisy. If she brought Zixi back to Country J, she would be entering a
lion''s den.
Yuchuan spat through gritted teeth, "You''re ungrateful as usual!"
