Chapter 33 Heartbeat
Mu Chen held Ye Shi's hand and walked out of the auction house. "Mu Chen." A familiar call sounded in Mu Chen's ears.
When Mu Chen saw Zhuang Yu, he couldn't help but frown. It was him again. Why was Zhuang Yu so haunting?
When Ye Shi saw Zhuang Yu, he couldn't help but struggle against Muchen's hand. Muchen held Ye Shi's hand tightly and didn't let Ye Shi break free. Ye Shi blushed, but he didn't insist in the end.
Zhuang Yu looked at the two people's clasped hands, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Mu Chen, who is this?" Zhuang Yu asked.
"My fiancée." Mu Chen said generously.
Ye Shi turned his head and looked at Mu Chen, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Zhuang Yu looked at the dagger in Ye Shi's hand and recognized it as the one that Mu Chen had just photographed.
"What a nice dagger!" Zhuang Yu smiled at Ye Shi.
Facing Zhuang Yu, Ye Shi always felt ashamed of himself. At this moment, being stared at by Zhuang Yu, Ye Shi smiled and retracted his hand slightly.
"Mr. Zhuang, do you have anything else to do? If not, we'll leave first." Mu Chen took advantage of the situation and put his arm around Ye Shi's waist and said to Zhuang Yu.
Ye Shi was hugged by Mu Chen around the waist, and suddenly felt a little nervous. He moved uncomfortably under Mu Chen's hand, but in the end he did not break away from Mu Chen's arms.
Zhuang Yu forced a smile and said, "Okay."
Mu Chen smiled at Zhuang Yu and left with Ye Shi.
Chen Moran looked at the backs of Muchen and Ye Shi and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with Muchen's eyes? He can actually eat something like that."
"Looking at Mu Chen's expression, he seems to be serious." Sun Yu said.
"I think he is just acting according to the situation." Chen Moran said with his arms folded.
"Just a show? What's the purpose?" Sun Yu asked puzzledly.
"The marriage between Mu Chen and Ye Shi was arranged by old man Mu Ke. The old man and Ye Shi's grandfather are sworn brothers. Ye Shi is the grandson of Ye He. Mu Ke loves Ye Shi and Ye Shi is his son. He must think highly of Ye Shi. I think Mu Chen did this to please the old man of the Mu family." Chen Moran said his guess complacently.
Sun Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "No way! When did Muchen's brain become so complicated? Besides, the sacrifice he made is too great."
Chen Moran said disapprovingly: "If you want to get something, you always have to pay something, right?"
"Mu Chen... why does he have to be so scheming? It's too unfair for him to please the old man of the Mu family and a girl like Shuang'er." Zhuang Yu said with emotion.
Chen Moran said disapprovingly: "Ayu, this is Muchen's own choice."

"You really won't go home with me?" Mu Chen frowned.
Ye Shi shook his head and said, "No."
"Okay then." Mu Chen sighed lightly.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen's depressed expression, his heart softened, and he wanted to agree, but in the end he still held back.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said with some regret: "Next, I may be in seclusion for a while to refine the elixir, and I won't be able to visit you."
Ye Shi snorted coldly and said, "Who wants you to watch?"
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said, "Take care of yourself and eat more."
Ye Shi grabbed the dagger and said, "I've always eaten a lot, so I don't need you to meddle with me."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "I'm leaving."
"Let's go, let's go." Ye Shi said impatiently. Mu Chen left, looking back every few steps. Seeing Mu Chen's figure gradually disappearing, Ye Shi's eyes suddenly showed a bit of attachment.
"Shi Tou is back?" Chen Da walked out and said.
Ye Shi nodded, his face slightly flushed.
"Young Master Muchen is gone?" Chen Da asked.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Young Master Muchen, you're a nice guy, right?" Chen Da asked.
Ye Shi blinked and said, "It's a little better than I expected, but it's not much better."
Chen Da listened to Ye Shi's slightly reproachful words and knew that the second half of Ye Shi's words was obviously insincere.
Looking at the smile on Ye Shi's lips, Chen Da secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had not expected Muchen to like Ye Shi. He just hoped that Muchen would fulfill the engagement and give Ye Shi a status because of the friendship between Mu Ke and Old Man Ye He. Now it seems that the situation is much better than he imagined.
"Mu Chen didn't ask you to go to the Mu family?" Chen Da suddenly thought of something and asked.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "He mentioned it, but I'm not willing to go."
Chen Da frowned, looked at Ye Shi helplessly, and said, "Why are you so stubborn, kid?"
