Marry Me Quick

Chapter 530

A makeup artist was putting makeup on Ziyue. At the same time, Muchen sat at the side and watched as if

interested in women's cosmetics.

Ziyue knew Muchen wasn't interested in makeup. She often put on makeup in front of Muchen at home. This wasn't

out of the ordinary for him.

He didn't want to go to the banquet so soon and help Yuchuan greet visitors for the feast.

Dinner banquets like these were awfully dull.

Ziyue knew what was on his mind. She turned and glanced at him but didn't say anything else.

Once her makeup was done, she walked to Muchen. "Alright, we can go."

Muchen didn't say anything. He reached out and pulled Ziyue into his arms before his gaze fell on her lips that were

applied with lipstick.

Ziyue hastily reached out to cover her lips. "I have lipstick on…"

So, he shouldn't kiss…

Upon hearing it, Muchen raised his brows in a displeased manner. He said, "Why are you in a rush? We can't get

away until the dinner banquet ends."

It made sense to Ziyue when she thought about it, so she didn't argue with him.

But she forgot one thing. The later they appeared, the more attention they would attract.

She only understood it when she and Muchen appeared at the banquet half an hour later.

At the banquet, there were people of various nationalities.

Ziyue and Muchen's appearance received fervent attention from all around.

Muchen was in a pure black suit. Along with his extraordinarily handsome features, he had a strong demeanor that

made him seem mysterious and profound. It also made him unapproachable. Still, they couldn't help but take

another look at him.

Ziyue, who was holding onto him, wasn't in the least bit inferior.

Muchen had picked out her evening gown, a bright red mid-length dress. The hem of the dress fell an inch above

her knees. It was minimalist yet luxurious and grand. Her long curly hair fell on her shoulders, and her makeup was

exquisite. She was already pretty, but with such attentive dressing, she was dazzling.

The gazes of many men fell on Ziyue for a long time, but when they felt Muchen's stare, they quaked and looked

away.

As everyone looked at them, some sized them up, while some were deep in thought, but no one took the initiative

to approach and greet them.

There was another reason. It was because Muchen had too strong a demeanor. He walked forward with a steady

glance, and no one dared to talk to him on their own accord.

Muchen and Ziyue went to Yuchuan.

They called out to Yuchuan. "Grandpa."

"Mm," Yuchuan answered indifferently. His gaze swept the two, and he raised his brows before looking away.

At this time, there was a din in the crowd.

Ziyue was the first to turn, and she saw Aika, who was at the entrance.

The princess that everyone pampered in Country J, Princess Aika.

Aika was slightly tanner than when they last met and seemed very energetic. There was a healthy and sensual glow

to her.

It was as though Aika had felt Ziyue's gaze. She looked over, and when she saw Ziyue, a smile streaked across her

face, and she blinked at Ziyue.

Ziyue was startled. She turned to look at Muchen and realized he didn't have a great complexion.

"What is it?" Ziyue went close to him and asked him softly.

Muchen didn't say anything. He held her hand instead.

It seemed like Aika was very popular. As she made her way to Ziyue and Muchen, many people greeted her.

Yuchuan had also stood up and walked towards Aika.

Aika finally made her way through the crowd, and she hugged Yuchuan. "Earl of Augsburg."

"I didn't think you'd take the time to attend, Princess Aika. It's my honor," Yuchuan said as he smiled and hugged

Aika politely.

"I've been busy lately, but I heard my old friend is back. Of course, I have to come." She turned and looked at

Ziyue. "Isn't that right, Ziyue?"

Ziyue never thought Aika would suddenly turn to look at her. She was momentarily stumped before she called out,

"Princess Aika."

"We don't have to care about formalities between us. You can call me by my name." The smile on Aika's face

deepened.

There were already murmurs around them.

Yuchuan's expression changed ever so slightly, but he didn't say anything. He played along and smiled.

"I haven't seen Ziyue in a long time, so I want to chat with her. The Earl and Mr. Qin don't mind, do you?" Aika said

as she held Ziyue's arm.

Ziyue had been in Country J for so long, and she had almost forgotten about Aika.

Aika suddenly appeared at the dinner banquet, acting like she and Ziyue were close. Ziyue didn't understand what

Aika wanted, and her gaze fell on Muchen.

When Ziyue felt Muchen's subtle nod, Ziyue was sure of it.

Aika's appearance here had something to do with Muchen. She pursed her lips and smiled at him before she turned

and said to Aika, "Of course, he doesn't mind."

It had been a long time since she and Aika last met. However, it wasn't as if they had a close relationship.

But she had a good impression of Aika.

At the very least, Aika wasn't like Yuchuan, who made her uneasy and panicked.

After that, Aika and Ziyue left.

The two sat on a couch somewhere, and Ziyue couldn't help but turn and look in Muchen's direction. She saw that

he and Yuchuan started to greet other people together.

"Did Muchen tell you about this dinner banquet and… invite you?" Ziyue thought about it before using the word

'invite.'

Aika was a princess, after all. Ziyue couldn't ask if Muchen told Aika to come because it might have hurt the

princess' dignity.

Aika smiled slightly. "I've been in the army's special training lately, and I've been swamped. I've been so busy that I

have to schedule my toilet breaks. The Earl sent me an invitation previously, but I hadn't planned on attending until

I heard you were here."

"It's my honor." She clearly didn't believe Aika.

Aika stared fixedly at Ziyue. After a moment, she laughed despite herself. "You're right. I was in contact with

Muchen before I came. I'll introduce you to new friends now, Mrs. Qin."

She was looking behind Ziyue when she said it.

Ziyue turned and saw a few women walking in their direction.

"Princess Aika." The women walked over and were respectful toward Aika.

Although Aika was a princess, she was part of the army, where she shed blood, sweat, and tears for the country

and people. Therefore, people respected her more than the other royalty.

The people truly loved Aika.
