The ward was eerily quiet except for the whistling sound of the ceiling fan. The wind ruffled Ye Moxuan’s fringe. He raised his eyes, his voice suddenly fading away.
“Nothing.” Maybe he was mistaken. It was just a quick glance, then she was gone. Maybe he really was mistaken. Seeing the coldness in his eyes, Song An pondered what he had just said before asking, “Is that why you had an accident?”
Ye Moxuan did not speak, but his answer was apparent. At that moment, it was just a quick glance when he saw the side-profile of the woman that was very similar to the one in his memory, but it quickly disappeared from his sight.
However, he was stunned for a long time, as if his thoughts and sanity had been drawn into a vortex of memories during that time. When he finally came back to his senses, the other car had almost crashed into his.
Fortunately, he had great driving skills, so the two cars did not collide head-on. However, his car hit the guardrail, and as a result, he sustained some injuries, but fortunately, it was not heavy. The doctor kept him under observation for a few days, then he would be discharged.
Song An heaved a long sigh. “It seems that you still remember her after so many years. But she hasn’t shown up for so long. How is it possible that you saw her? I think… it’s just an illusion.”
Illusion? Ye Moxuan laughed mockingly to himself. “Perhaps.”
Suddenly seeing her nephew in such a depressed mood, Song An didn’t know what to say to comfort him. Although his mood had never been better in the past five years, he looked like he was trapped in love and couldn’t move on.
As his elder, she couldn’t bear watching him being so depressed.
Thinking of this, Song An said, “Well, you can’t go on like this forever. After you are discharged from the hospital, I will look for some suitable partners for you, and then you can go on a blind date.
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan frowned immediately. “Aunty, what are you talking about?”
“What? Don’t tell me that you want to be single for the rest of your life?! Let me tell you this—it doesn’t matter if you want to be alone, but think about me! How many years do I have left? I’m afraid that your mother will blame me when I go to her in the afterlife! After all, she entrusted you to me!”
This again. Ye Moxuan became even grumpier when he heard this. He did not reply to her, donning a cold expression.
Song An realized that her words were slightly too harsh, so she softened her voice and tried again, “Anyway, meet the girls first, will you? You are not in a wheelchair anymore, so stop being delusional and think that people want to get close to you with malicious intentions.”
In the past, many women adored Ye Moxuan’s handsome looks, but when they found out that he was crippled, they would despise him. Contradictorily, they wanted to be associated with the Ye Family, so they wanted to date him because of this.
However, more often than not, one’s gestures and expressions could tell the truth.
They hated him for being crippled.
Moreover, it was rumored that he had erectile dysfunction, so the women despised him even more.
However, everything was different now. Ye Moxuan could stand on both his feet—he was no longer in a wheelchair.
On top of that, he was good looking, had a great physique, came from a prominent background, and was very good in business management.
No one would dislike this version of Ye Moxuan!
In the past few years, many socialites and young ladies took the initiative to throw themselves at him, but Ye Moxuan didn’t even look at them. Looking at him now, Song An knew what he was thinking but she didn’t say anything.
“Well, I’ll tell you this—I don’t care what you’re thinking, or if you have any regrets all these years. Even if you do, it’s useless. You were the one who filed for the divorce, and you were the one who forbade her to enter the Ye Family. Even if you really did see her, you have no right to do anything. Do you understand?”
Ye Moxuan didn’t reply.
“Besides, five years have passed. It’s possible that she has remarried. Even if you do see her now, you can’t disturb her. Do you hear me?”
Ye Moxuan ignored her still. Song An was agitated and directly raised her hand to pull his ear.
“Do you hear me?”
“Tsk!” Ye Moxuan hissed in pain, his entire face turning red. “Let go!”
“Now only you asked me to let you go? Why did you ignore me when I was talking to you just now?”
“Aunty—”
When Song An saw that his ear had turned red from her pulling, she suddenly felt sorry for him. She sighed helplessly then took her hand back.
“Alright, I didn’t mean to be angry with you, but you must take all the things I said seriously. I won’t go back to Su City for the next few days until you are discharged.”
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan recalled the words she had said just now—about how she was going to set up blind dates for him after he was discharged from the hospital—and snapped back to his senses.
“You don’t have to arrange these for me. I can have all the women in the world.”
“Yeah, I know you can, but are you serious about finding one and settling down? If you don’t want to, I’ll have to find one for you. Anyway, this is it. I will arrange it for you. Don’t worry, I definitely find someone who is decent and not vain.”
Ye Moxuan remained silent.
He closed his eyes, the side-profile that he saw last night popping up in his mind.
This is crazy.
I’m crazy.
It had been five years, but he was now all messed up because of her.
At the cemetery.
“Qing, you said you want to bring me somewhere. Did you mean here?”
“Yes.”
Han Qing took Han Muzi deeper into the cemetery. Although they hadn’t reached the place, Han Muzi could guess that Han Qing probably wanted to take her to Madam Han’s tombstone.
Finally, after walking for a while, Han Qing came to a halt. Han Muzi followed his gaze and saw a photo on the tombstone. The woman in the photo looked distant and cold but donned a gentle and polite smile that lit up the coldness in her eyes.
Han Muzi had seen her on a poster in the Han residence five years ago.
Everyone said that she was her mother.
To Han Muzi, the woman was nothing but a stranger.
When Han Muzi saw her, she was slightly overwhelmed with emotions, a little upset.
But, she barely felt any connection with her since they had never spent a second together.
“After you went missing when you were a child, mom worried about you all day long and even went to many places to look for you. When she died, she still couldn’t find any information about your whereabouts. Before she heaved her final breath, she kept holding my hand, telling me that I must find my sister throughout my life. She firmly believed that you were still alive. However, she no longer had the opportunity and time to look for you, so… this task fell on me.”
Hearing his recount of the past incidents, Han Muzi could almost visualize it.
Now that she was a mother, she knew that she might go crazy if Little Bean disappeared one day.
As such, Han Muzi could understand Madam Han’s feelings.
She felt a little sorry for her, but fate had always liked to play tricks on people.
“How did… mom die?”
Logically speaking, she should be quite young when she passed.
