    Upon hearing this, Ziyue red at and Yunan said coldly, "What body?"


    "Muchen''s body, obviously. But it looks like you''re already moving on to another man after inheriting his


    money. Woman, don''t you have a conscience!?"


    Yunan''s wordsced with contempt, "This proves that all women are the same."


    As Ziyue absorbed his words, her anger momentarily waned. Did she really owe an exnation to him,


    who had no significance in her life?


    Well, not a chance!


    Ziyue''s response wasced with indifference as she retorted, "If that''s the way you see me, then do us


    both a favor and stay away from me."


    Ziyue flicked her hair, a gesture that effortlessly exuded her allure. She left an air of mystique in her


    wake.


    "You!" Yunan was startled by her retort, and his disdain for her intensified.


    Before she swiftly turned on her heels and walked away. Ziyue cast him a cold nce and sneered,


    "Hope to never see you again."


    Yunan stood rooted to the spot, consumed by anger.


    But suddenly, his expression froze, and he narrowed his eyes in deep contemtion. It wasn''t too long


    ago that Ziyue had this unshakable belief in Muchen''s survival. Now, out of the blue, she was singing a


    different tune. What the heck went down to cause this sudden change of heart?


    With his military background, Yunan''s instincts and perception were razor-sharp. Earlier, he had acted


    on impulse. But now, as he settled down, he couldn''t help but notice something peculiar about Ziyue''s


    response.


    Amid the uncertainty surrounding Muchen''s fate, Ziyue refused to entertain the idea of his death as she


    dreaded it would be a reality. Her defiant response stemmed from the depth of her love for


    Muchen and her unwillingness to ept anything less than his safe return.


    But now, Ziyue stopped arguing against those morbid notions, suggesting she stopped caring about


    people''s thoughts.


    But why didn''t she care? Perhaps she had reached a point of eptance and decided not to dwell on


    Muchen''s well-being anymore.


    However, knowing Ziyue, it was out of character for her to be so detached.


    So, there must be some other reason behind her indifference.


    If his hunch was correct, then Ziyue must have heard from Muchen and knew he was still alive.


    Ziyue was never the type to be swayed by superficiality. She wouldn''t have distanced herself from him


    all this time if she were.


    Considering her swollen lips and the timing of her disappearance, it seemed highly likely that she had


    met Muchen during her absence!


    Yunan''s spections might sound intrusive, but as someone with a keen sixth sense, he couldn''t help


    but find it usible.


    After all, he didn''t be the youngest major general in the military with a series of aplishments


    by the age of thirty-two for nothing.


    Yunan made up his mind and wasted no time. He briskly headed towards the exit, where one of his


    subordinates approached him. Raising his hand to signal the subordinate to stay silent, he immediately


    said, "Keep a close watch on everyone at LK Group, especially Ziyue and her son."


    "Sure thing!"


    Something clicked in his mind as he bent down to get into his car. He turned around and added,


    "Jingshu as well."


    The subordinate, who had been working closely with Yunan for a while, knew that Jingshu was Yunan''s


    younger brother. A mix of surprise and confusion briefly shed across his face. Nevertheless, he


    nodded and replied, "Sure thing!"


    ...


    Meanwhile, Ziyue was on her way back to Cloud Bay.


    The midnight streets were chilly and deste.


    She rolled down all the car windows, and the cold night breeze rushed into the car, blowing her mind


    clear.


    Ziyue understood Muchen so well that she knew his sudden appearance was his way of acknowledging


    that she had discovered his actions. It was his attempt to prevent her from overthinking and bing


    truly angry with him. That was why he showed up at that moment.


    And truth be told, he yed it perfectly.


    Despite her lingering frustration, nothing else mattered to her than to see Muchen standing there, alive


    and well.


    Her anger melted even further when he asked if her hand hurt after she pped him.


    Ziyue hadn''tpletely forgiven him.


    But before she could say anything, he left.


    Thinking of that, Ziyue stepped on the gas pedal, and the car shot off.


    In a blink of an eye, she pulled up to her front door.


    Ke, waiting in the living room, perked up at the screech of brakes.


    Here, Ziyue hopped out of the car and spotted Ke.


    "Why aren''t you sleeping yet?"


    "I was going to bed, but Lumiere Jade House called, saying you''ve gone missing. I was just about to go


    out and join the search, but they called again, saying they''ve found you."


    Ke towered above her and possessed a strong aura. With her poker face, she appeared rather fierce.


    Ziyue couldn''t help feeling guilty and abashed.


    She nced at Ke and then dodged her inquisitive gaze, "I felt a bit lightheaded, so I took a breather in


    one of the private rooms. Gosh, they were overreacting!"


    "Really?"


    Ke clearly didn''t buy it.


    Feeling guilty, Ziyue nervously brushed her own lips. She realized it had been a while since she


    returned from Lumiere Jade House, and the swelling must have subsided by now.


    "Yeah, let''s go in and rest."


    Ke hesitated momentarily but then gathered the courage to speak, "Mrs. Qin, please... try not to be too


    upset with Mr. Qin. He always weighs his options before taking action. Even if someone were to hold a


    gun to his head, he wouldn''t choose divorce unless there was absolutely no other choice."


    The mention of Muchen''s name caused Ziyue to pause her steps, her expression turning mncholic.


    "I understand he''s in a tough spot. I don''t me him for his decisions," Ziyue''s voice was tinged with a


    hint of sadness. But she wished that Muchen had considered her feelings as his wife, someone who


    wanted to stand by his side and share the burden, especially in times like these.


    Ziyue didn''t hold it against Muchen for divorcing her when he had no other options.


    But what troubled her was hisck of proactivemunication, and they had discussed this matter


    countless times.


    It puzzled her how someone as thoughtful and intelligent as him could overlook such a crucial point. He


    hadn''t changed at all.


    "Well then..."


    "Let''s get some rest. It''s gettingte."


    Ziyue didn''t want to dwell on this issue with Ke. She didn''t feel like discussing it with anyone at the


    moment. She would deal with it with Muchen once everything was over.


    Ke, being a perceptive woman, could sense that Ziyue cared deeply about this matter.


    Although Muchen''s actions had also surprised her, she understood that he must have had no other


    choice.


    From Ke''s perspective, Muchen had a rationale behind every decision, and she didn''t need him to


    exin his intention while Ziyue''s resentment seemed a bit unfounded and hard toprehend for her
