Marry Me Quick

Chapter 386

The next day, Ziyue went to Lumiere Jade House to meet Nan Chuan.

He was busy and greeted her with a simple, "Mrs. Qin."

"Where's Beef?" The reason she came on that day was to ask him about the investigation into Lin Enxue and Zixi.

She was also there to pick up Beef.

Nan Chuan instructed his assistant, "Bring Beef over."

He brought out a stack of documents. "I've investigated Lin Enxue. There's nothing out of the ordinary about her

background. Everything's just as she said. She grew up overseas. She never went to school and hardly went out

because of her heart disease. She stayed home most of the time and hardly socialized with others. Her family hired

personal doctors and tutors for her. You can imagine she wasn't deprived of anything in her life."

Ziyue remembered the time when Enxue beamed happily. It seemed impossible that she had a severe heart

condition, which made going to school out of the question.

"I remember she has a brother."

"Yes, I was about to explain. His name is Lin Enyang. He should be about thirty-seven now. Here's a photo of him."

He dug out a photo from beneath his documents.

Ziyue lowered her eyes. The photo was tinged with yellow. It seemed to be quite old. The face of the lean boy was

fuzzy, but she could see that he was young.

"When was this photo taken?"

Nan Chuan furrowed his eyebrows as if he was expecting the question. "More than ten years ago," he answered

uncomfortably.

"Are there no recent photos of him?" She studied the photo.

He shook his head. "I couldn't find any. I've asked around Enxue's old neighborhood. The neighbors haven't seen

Enyang in years."

"That can't be."

If the neighbors hadn't seen him in years, does that mean that he avoided them every time he went home?

Although Enxue had been looking after Zixi, she said that he was her brother's son. Zixi was only one and a half

years old, while Enxue hardly headed out due to her heart condition. Enyang should have returned home at least a

year ago.

Ziyue was sure that Enyang had been avoiding his neighbors.

Nan Chuan explained, "It appears that he has been working outstation all this while for his sister's medical fees. He

didn't have time to go back home, but the siblings have a close relationship."

"Very well then. I'll take these back with me."

She bade him farewell and left with Beef.

She spotted Enxue and Zixi by the roadside as her car entered Cloud Bay.

The land of Cloud Bay was planted with fruit trees. Enxue tiptoed as she picked the fruits of a peach tree. Zixi, in his

cap, sat on the ground and watched her. A maid was accompanying them.

Ziyue recalled Nan Chuan's information. She stared at them, then turned back to the driver.

"Stop here. You can head back first. I'll go back after walking Beef." She got out of the car, pulling the dog.

Beef darted toward Enxue.

Ziyue struggled to hold on to the leash and released it.

Beef was probably excited, smelling the peaches.

Enxue turned around, and her face lit up. "What a cute border collie!"

She turned her head and saw Ziyue. "Mrs. Qin!"

Ziyue had told her before she was married to a Mr. Qin.

"Are you picking peaches?" Ziyue couldn't help but glance at the child.

"Yeah, they're ripe enough to be plucked. Zixi must have been bored in the house too." Enxue reached out to pat

his head.

Zixi moved away from her hand and said in a cute voice, "I wasn't bored…"

It wasn't bad staying in the house. He wouldn't have minded even if he had to stay inside all the time.

Enxue looked at him blankly. "He's speaking more these days…"

Not only that, he seemed to be fond of Ziyue.

Ziyue smiled and crouched down to talk to him.

He replied to her while staring at Beef, sniffing under the tree.

Ziyue noticed his stare. "Do you like dogs? His name is Beef."

Zixi glanced at her before standing up, yelling toward the tree. "Beep…"

He dragged out his voice, and his pronunciation was off.

Ziyue found it adorable.

Zixi couldn't take his eyes off Beef. Enxue invited Ziyue for a meal warmly.

Thinking of asking Enxue about her brother, Ziyue agreed to it.

…

Enxue's villa was as large as Ziyue's house.

But the difference was that Enxue's house had numerous maids. There were even guards at the entrance.

The staff's eyes glinted when they saw Ziyue following Enxue.

Ziyue was even more curious about Enxue's brother.

"There are so many people at your house," Ziyue noted as she entered the house.

"My brother constantly worries about me. He hired a lot of workers for the house," Enxue replied in a helpless voice.

"Your brother cares for you a lot. Where is he? Is he not at home?" Ziyue looked around her.

A disappointed look flitted across Enxue's face. "I haven't seen him in a few years now."

Ziyue was astonished. Even Enxue hasn't seen him?

She asked curiously, "Is he very busy? What does he do for work?"

"I don't know. Enyang never said anything about his work because he didn't want me to worry. But he's a good

person. I'm sure there's nothing bad going on, whatever job it is."

Enxue said while beaming, putting her full trust in her brother.

However, Ziyue wasn't sure.

Enxue was undoubtedly naïve. Although she was born with a heart condition that affected her daily life, she was

optimistic. Other than her life without worries, Enyang's care for her must have played a big part in her frame of

mind.

After all, a lavish lifestyle could only fulfill one's materialistic wants. Only love can influence one's nature.

How could a brother who cared for his sister not visit her even once in years?

Unless he couldn't.

Ziyue pushed her thoughts aside. "You have a close relationship with your brother."

Enxue grinned.

After chatting a while more, they went out to the garden, where Zixi was playing with Beef.

Beef sat on the grass. Zixi stood in front of it and held its paw.

Ziyue took out her phone to snap some photos, thinking that it was an adorable sight.

Zixi happened to turn toward her, and she captured him facing the camera.

He quickly turned back and continued playing with Beef.

Ziyue's heart melted at the photo. She posted it to her WeChat Moments.

The first person to comment on the post was An Xia.

The Adorable Miss An: OMG! Mr. Qin has an illegitimate son?

Jingshu replied to her moments later.

Mr. Bai—The Strongest Man in the Universe: He's a mini-Muchen! Anyway, are you scrolling through your feed

during work hours? I'll give you fifty seconds to apologize in my office, or else I'll deduct all your bonus for this

month!
