Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Who Are You Planning to Marry?_1

Sunset Town, the grand mansion of the Mu Family.

Zhu Qing was sitting on the sofa, hugging a pillow, displaying a face full of gloom.

Zhang Xian had called her last night, and she thought he would call again after she hung up. But there was no follow-up, the guy simply...

She was irritated, unparalleled irritation. How could that damned bastard Zhang Xian act like this? Would he die if he was a bit shameless? Would he really die?

Mu Cheng sat nearby, shaking her head with a bitter smile. The disputes between this girl and Zhang Xian never ceased to enrage! How long would it go on like this before it ended?

"Damn Zhang Xian, stinky Zhang Xian....." Zhu Qing suddenly cursed. It didn’t feel right if she didn’t scold him a few times.

Mu Cheng slapped her forehead, her face dripping with exasperation, "Qingqing, didn’t you say you’re done with Zhang Xian, that you were going to break up with that guy? How come now..."

"I... I..."

Zhu Qing turned her head somewhat awkwardly and glared at Mu Cheng, "Sis, what are you implying? Are you deliberately reminding me of my wounds to embarrass me? If you continue like this, I’ll leave."

"No, I apologize, okay?"

Mu Cheng quickly laughed and said, "If you leave, I’ll be bored to death all by myself?"

"Humph! It’s good that you realize that."

With a pout, Zhu Qing asked, "Sis, do you know why that guy Zhang Xian ran over here? No trace of him can be seen, and he hasn’t even mentioned going to Medicine Mountain."

"Who knows."

Mu Cheng snorted and said, "I asked him before, he didn’t say."

Upon hearing this, the rage in Zhu Qing’s heart flared up. What did Zhang Xian mean by keeping everything from them? Did he still consider them his own?

"Ding Dong..."

Suddenly, a doorbell rang out.

Zhu Qing froze, then ran to open the door. Her already sour-looking face immediately darkened.

"Hi..."

Zhang Xian greeted Zhu Qing with a smile.

"Bang..."

Zhu Qing turned around and slammed the door shut.

"Damn..."

Just as Zhang Xian was about to enter, the door abruptly slammed shut, hitting him right on the nose. Pain shot through him, tears streaming down his face.

With an unnatural twitch at the corner of his mouth, he quickly took out his keys, opened the door, and entered while holding his nose. He had lived here for a while before, so he had a set of keys.

"Oh..."

When Mu Cheng saw Zhang Xian, her expression was also grim, "Ah, isn’t this Young Master Zhang? What brings you here?"

"Ahem... well..."

Zhang Xian wiped his nose, looking frustrated, "Can you both cut out the sarcasm? It’s really irritating!"

"There’s nothing we can do, who made you so unscrupulous?"

Mu Cheng folded her arms over her chest, laughed coldly and said, "You came and went so casually last time, it seemed rather carefree, why did you come back again? What do you want to do?"

"I...well..."

Zhang Xian awkwardly said, "Qingqing mentioned breaking up with me last time, I just came to see what’s going on?"

"There’s no need, absolutely no need."

Mu Cheng said, "Qingqing has already broken up with you, you two are now like strangers. What are you doing here? Hmm, you two can’t even be considered friends anymore."

"I didn’t agree to break up!"

Zhang Xian looked at Zhu Qing and said, "Listen Qingqing, can you stop being unreasonable? Why the sudden need to break up when everything’s going fine?"

"How am I being unreasonable?"

Zhu Qing exclaimed angrily, "You should know what you have done."

Zhang Xian asked, "What did I do?"

"What? You dare to ask? Last time when Elder Sister Shaoyun and I went home for a few months, why didn’t you call us? Do we matter to you at all?"

Zhu Qing snapped, "Why didn’t you notify us before coming over here this time? You mysteriously showed up, then disappeared without saying a word. What do you mean by that?"

"Qingqing, I..." Upon hearing this, Zhang Xian wore a bitter smile.

After so long, he didn’t expect Zhu Qing to still cling to what happened in the past. Although his previous thoughts had a hint of giving up, it was purely out of consideration for Zhu Qing and Mo Shaoyun.

Back then, he thought that perhaps giving up would bring happiness to Zhu Qing and Mo Shaoyun. It’s not that they didn’t matter to him.

As for this time, he came with an intention to kill. How could he tell Zhu Qing and Mu Cheng that? As for not notifying them, he wanted to surprise Zhu Qing, but she gave him the cold shoulder.

Zhu Qing saw that Zhang Xian remained silent, sneered and said, "What’s the matter? Nothing to say? Don’t you think you owe me a reasonable explanation for these incidents?"

"Alright, I’ll explain to you."

Zhang Xian looked at Zhu Qing and said, "Firstly, the reason I didn’t call you guys was not because you didn’t matter to me, but because I thought it might be a better option for you to leave at that time. I’ve said this many times, and there’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me. Secondly, I did have some business to attend to this time around, it’s just not convenient to say."

"As for not notifying you in advance, I intended to surprise you. After arriving, rather than dealing with my affairs, I came straight to you."

"But, you were really angry at that time, so I had to handle things first. Now, do you understand?"

Zhu Qing said, "I... I..."

"Do you still have any questions? State them all at once." Zhang Xian looked at Zhu Qing and asked.

Zhu Qing pouted, not knowing what to say.

As for the incident at the end of last year, she hadn’t thought about it anymore, and Zhang Xian had indeed explained it to her many times.

However, recently, after Zhang Xian had called her twice, it seemed as if he had vanished from the face of the earth. The fact that she was angry had a lot to do with that.

It’s true that she had complained and griped during the two phone calls from Zhang Xian earlier, but as a woman, she felt it normal for her to be a bit melodramatic. Couldn’t Zhang Xian understand that?

"Do you have any doubts? Say it."

Zhang Xian said, "With our relationship, you can say anything. There’s no need to sulk. If there’s a problem, it should be clarified."

"I..."

Suddenly Zhu Qing said, "Why did you only call me twice during this period? Didn’t you miss me?"

"Of course I missed you! But every time I called you would create a fuss, who would dare to call you? You are already angry, if I argued with you further, wouldn’t it just get worse?"

Zhang Xian said, "Actually, Qingqing, I think you don’t trust me enough. If you trusted me as much as Qianqian does, you wouldn’t have so many troubles."

Zhu Qing pouted, "Of course! Can I compare with Qianqian?"

"Well..."

Zhang Xian sighed and said, "Qingqing, I didn’t mean that. I just feel you don’t trust me enough. That’s all, don’t get it wrong. I wouldn’t get angry about anything else, you’re my wife. If I don’t cater to you, or cherish you, who else should I give this love to? But if you compare yourself with other women, this is something I won’t tolerate, and it will make me angry."

"I..." Zhu Qing didn’t dare to go on.

All this while, she had never seen Zhang Xian get angry, even when she was acting up, he would always face her with a smile. Suddenly, when Zhang Xian said he would get angry, she really wasn’t sure what would happen.

"Now, let’s sort things out once more."

Zhang Xian said, "Firstly, I guess I don’t need to explain about what happened last time. Secondly, I didn’t call you recently because I was afraid of making you angry again, so I held back, but I did think about when to come and see you, that’s absolute truth. Thirdly, I came over this time for important matters which I can’t disclose, not because I wanted to keep things from you."

"Now, I’ve explained these three points. Shouldn’t you calm down now? If there’s anything else you’re unhappy about, let’s continue discussing, no more fussing."

Mu Cheng watched from the side, feeling it wasn’t easy to critique Zhang Xian anymore.

Meanwhile, she also agreed with Zhang Xian’s approach. A quarrel among a couple can start and end on the same bed. When anger is flaring up, hold your tongue, when anger subsides, discuss calmly.

If couples could do this, there would be less conflict. This is a method worth advocating.

"I... I won’t say anymore." Zhu Qing turned her head away, feeling somewhat embarrassed. After all the hubbub, she found that she was making a fuss over minor things.

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Then go get me my clothes. They’re in the car. I’ll take a shower."

"Oh..." Zhu Qing nodded her head, and ran out.

Mu Cheng gave Zhang Xian a look, and said, "You’re quite something! You’ve managed to deceive Zhu Qing with just a few words."

"What do you mean I tricked her?"

Zhang Xian pouted, "Elder Sister Cheng, you shouldn’t make rash comments! What I just said was all true. I know you have objections, but regarding what brought me here this time, it’s something I really can’t share."

Mu Cheng frowned, "Can’t you tell me? Do you not recognize me as your elder sister? I am Zhu Qing’s cousin."

"Okay, if I tell you I’m going to kill someone, would you believe me?"

Zhang Xian looked at Mu Cheng, "And do you think, I could tell Qingqing these things?"

"You..." Mu Cheng was quite taken aback.

Zhang Xian smirked, "See! As I said, I can’t tell, to prevent them from worrying. On this matter, you have to keep it confidential for me. Otherwise, I will ’take liberties’ with you."

"Uh..."

Mu Cheng crossed her arms in front of her, "I... I won’t say it!"

"Hey, where are the car keys?"

Zhu Qing suddenly burst in, grumbling, "You didn’t give me the keys, how am I supposed to get your clothes?"

"Ah, sorry."

Zhang Xian was embarrassed and quickly handed Zhu Qing the keys.

"You, come out."

After receiving the keys, Zhu Qing suddenly pulled Zhang Xian and ran out, "I have something to ask you."

Zhang Xian followed Zhu Qing outside and asked puzzledly, "What’s the matter? Can’t you say it in front of your sister? Aren’t you afraid she’d have objections?"

"Did you argue with Elder Sister Shaoyun again?"

Zhu Qing said, "I heard from Qianqian that Elder Sister Shaoyun and Sister Nan have returned to Beijing. What did you do?"

"Well, actually, I’m not quite sure myself."

Zhang Xian scratched his head in frustration, "Qingqing, calling me out here shouldn’t just be for this matter, right? Besides, do you really need to hide this kind of thing from your cousin?"

"I was just asking casually."

Zhu Qing blushed and asked, "Actually, I wanted to ask you, with so many women, who exactly are you planning to marry. After all, it’s impossible to marry all of them."
