“Ignore her. I think she’s out of her mind.”
“I think so too. She didn’t want to go with us, but now, she kept staring at him and had the nerve to ask us if someone had walked past her! She is obviously crazy!”
The girls left after insulting her.
Yan stood there for a long time before regaining her composure, then she looked over in the direction where Ye Moxuan had disappeared and found that he had entered a car. She looked carefully at the license plate, trying to identify it; it showed that it was issued by North City.
So, it wasn’t that she was mistaken, or that she was hallucinating, but that she had indeed run into him.
Fate… is both magical and terrifying.
Yan’s face turned pale again. Then, she quickly turned and left.
After Han Muzi returned to the car with Little Bean, he fell asleep in her arms, wrapping his small arms tightly around her waist.
This was Little Bean’s habit. Whenever he fell asleep when they were out, he would always hug Han Muzi tightly, for fear that she would suddenly disappear.
Han Muzi stroked his head while leaning back on the seat to get some rest.
I wonder how long we have to spend here.
While thinking about it, her phone vibrated. Han Muzi looked at it and realized that it was a message from Han Qing.
‘Where are you?’
Seeing that it was from Han Qing, Han Muzi’s anger flared up, so she replied hastily, ‘Thanks to you, we are now stranded on the highway!’
‘What happened?’
Han Qing replied very quickly. Through his reply, Han Muzi could almost picture him staring at the phone, frowning. The image was too vivid.
Han Muzi hurriedly sent a message to him before he called her.
‘Little Bean is asleep.’
Han Qing paused before taking some time to reply.
‘How did you know that I’m about to call you?’
‘I’m your sister so of course I know that. A car exploded ahead and the policemen are dealing with it now. It has been a standstill for a long time.’
‘Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I’ll rush over to pick you up right away.’
Han Muzi could almost picture Han Qing getting up without hesitation, so she quickly sent a message.
‘No, you don’t have to come and pick us up. We will start our journey after a while.’
But he did not reply again, making Han Muzi feel a little helpless. She assumed that he was probably getting ready to go out now.
Thud!
At this moment, Yan had returned. She opened the car door and sat in, bringing in the cold air from outside. Han Muzi bent forward subconsciously to block the cold air for Little Bean.
“You’re back?” Han Muzi asked softly.
Yan was incredibly shocked just now, so her face was still as pale as snow. After throwing a glance at Han Muzi, she just nodded blankly, as if she didn’t notice that she had turned pale.
Han Muzi stared at her in confusion for a moment. “What’s wrong?”
“Huh?” Yan’s voice was a little loud. After she realized that she might wake Little Bean, she quickly reached out to cover her mouth and shook her head as she whispered, “Nothing.”
“Nothing?” Han Muzi knew something must have happened by looking at her dodging eyes so she arched her eyebrows. “Your face is as pale as a ghost, and you say it’s nothing?”
Hearing that, Yan quickly reached out her hands to touch her face.
Is my face pale? This is bad.
Yan quickly took out a mirror to look at herself and found that she did not look good indeed. She took out a blusher to put on some makeup, but Han Muzi, who was sitting next to her, lowered her voice and said, “No need to put on any makeup. Your eyes have already betrayed you. Tell me, what’s going on? Something’s wrong with you from earlier. What’s wrong?”
Yan’s hands froze midair. After a while, she closed her blusher and looked at Han Muzi before saying seriously, “Actually, I have a stomachache. I need to poop!”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing that.
“But we’re in the middle of nowhere and there’s no toilet here so I can only hold it in. See, I break out in a cold sweat for enduring the urge.”
Han Muzi still didn’t know how to react to that.
“Oh, I really need to use the washroom.” Yan touched her cheeks and smiled dryly. She actually said such a huge and embarrassing lie just to hide her emotions.
Fortunately, her Prince Charming was not in the car. Otherwise, she would never have said such words.
Thinking of this, Yan pursed her lips into a forced smile.
Han Muzi was utterly speechless, unable to distinguish whether Yan was telling the truth. After a while, she asked again, “So what are you going to do now? Can you keep holding it?”
“Of course.” Yan nodded vigorously. “I already held it back.”
Han Muzi became silent for a while before saying, “I don’t think you should cook anymore.”
Yan asked, “Why not?”
“After this conversation tonight, I won’t be able to look at you in the eyes anymore.”
It was Yan’s turn to be speechless.
Ten minutes later, the cars on the highway were notified that they were allowed to continue their journey.
Hence, everyone started driving forward slowly. However, Yan became nervous again. She lay by the window, looking at the surrounding vehicles. We won’t bump into Ye Moxuan now, will we?
Maybe not.
However, she was still very worried. The journey to North City was still far away. It would be alright if they were heading somewhere else, but they were going to North City. Although Yan did not understand why Ye Moxuan would appear in Su City for no reason, she was afraid of bringing up Muzi’s hurtful past.
Therefore, she did not dare to tell Han Muzi that she had bumped into Ye Moxuan.
“Why? You can’t hold it in anymore?”
A faint voice came from her side. Yan turned her head and saw Han Muzi looking at herself with a faint smile on her face, her eyes as clear as a frozen lake that was able to reflect everything.
Yan suddenly felt that the excuse she had just made was nothing more than making a fool of herself. In fact, Han Muzi might already know that she was hiding something from her but this did not stop Yan from acting dumb.
No matter what, Han Muzi probably would not think of that person, so Yan simply dropped her act by closing her eyes as she sat beside her, not answering Han Muzi’s question.
She didn’t want to talk, and Han Muzi didn’t force her either.
After all, everyone had their own secrets. Yan would just keep this secret to herself.
The road was quite jam packed at first, but it soon became unobstructed; the car began to travel at high speed in the darkness. Gradually, Han Muzi started to feel weary just as Yan’s voice sounded, “Go ahead and sleep. I’ve slept just now, so I’m not sleepy. I can keep watch, and Mr. Nan is here too.”
“Okay.” Han Muzi nodded before leaning back in the chair and falling asleep quickly.
Soon, her breathing became even.
Yan turned to look at Han Muzi’s sleeping face, her expression shifting a bit.
Oh, I really hope that we don’t run into that man this time. Or else… I really don’t know what I should do.
Perhaps Muzi is the one who is the most helpless.
After all, he had hurt her deeply, but at the same time, he was also the one whom Muzi had loved deeply.
