The night was as cold as ice.
It was silent across the large Seabay Villa, aside from the sound of the sea breeze, which was accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of the waves hitting against the coast.
The sea breeze was strong tonight, making the air moist with a strong scent of the sea.
At that moment, Ye Moxuan, who just had a shower, was sitting on the couch while staring unblinkingly at his mobile phone in his hands.
The WeChat interface was displayed across his phone screen.
Ye Moxuan opened the message sent by Lin Qingqing, which was a business card she forwarded to him.
Upon opening the business card, he scanned through Han Muzi’s personal information. He stared at his screen for ages, but he didn’t add her contact to his contact list.
The information showed that her nickname was ‘Shelly’ in English. Her profile picture was a beautiful shell, which was held by a pair of fair, slender and delicate hands.
Ye Moxuan was very familiar with this pair of hands.
Five year ago, he held this pair of hands countless times in his, and the very same pair of hands had caressed and scratched his skin.
He shut his eyes. In the end, Ye Moxuan couldn’t help extending his fingers closer to the ‘Add Friend’ button.
Ever since he returned home in the afternoon, Ye Moxuan had been glued to the couch, as if he was losing his mind. However, he just couldn’t pluck up his courage to add the woman’s contact.
It is just as Aunty said. Five years have passed, and now, she is most probably no longer the same person as before.
Besides, if I add her as my contact, will she reject me?
Ye Moxuan never knew that he could be so trapped and indecisive when handling issues. He frowned and placed his phone on the table while making a deep and throaty groan, as though he was tortured.
Ye Moxuan, have you been bewitched?
This woman walked out of your life five years ago. In fact, she left decisively. Five years have passed, and she must be a completely different person now.
In the end, Ye Moxuan picked up his phone again and stared at the WeChat interface while narrowing his eyes menacingly.
Just when he was about to exit the interface, his finger tapped on the ‘Add Friend’ button by accident. His heart started racing rapidly. In the end, he followed his heart and sent her a ‘Friend Request’ directly.
After sending her a friend request, Ye Moxuan’s heart felt as if a spark had landed on a dry prairie, which resulted in a massive flame soaring upward.
A few seconds went by. Soon, Ye Moxuan had waited with his phone in his hands for ten minutes.
She did not approve his friend request.
Ye Moxuan’s expression soured slightly, and he cursed under his breath, “Damn it!”
Does this woman know that this is my account? Is that why she would not accept my friend request?
Ye Moxuan almost lost his mind when the thought flashed across his mind. He got up immediately with his car key, as though he was about to head out. However, he paused after several steps and phoned Xiao Su instead.
“Prepare several WeChat accounts for me. I want them within five minutes.”
“What?” Xiao Su thought he had misheard Ye Moxuan’s unreasonable request, and so he was stumped for a while.
“Do you not understand human language?” Ye Moxuan asked in annoyance.
Xiao Su nodded promptly while answering him, “I do.”
“Then shouldn’t you be getting to work?!”
Click!
After Ye Moxuan hung up on the call, Xiao Su was at a loss for words as he listened to the busy tone through his mobile phone.
What does Young Master Ye want with multiple WeChat accounts in the middle of the night? Is the company developing some new businesses? Why haven’t I heard anything about it?
However, Ye Moxuan’s irritable attitude earlier was like a ticking time bomb, and so Xiao Su didn’t have the courage to ask further. Instead, he went right to work.
After five minutes, Ye Moxuan finally received the WeChat accounts from Xiao Su, and he laughed mirthlessly as he muttered, “You are too slow.”
Then, Ye Moxuan put his phone down.
After that, Ye Moxuan switched on his laptop and logged onto WeChat.
Xiao Su had applied for a dozen or so WeChat accounts for him. Although Ye Moxuan wasn’t sure how Xiao Su procured them, he couldn’t care less as long as he could use them.
Ye Moxuan started by logging onto the first account. After searching for Han Muzi’s WeChat account, he added her as a friend.
In the end, he waited for ten minutes without receiving a reply. Hence, he switched to another account, but he changed tactics this time. He sent over a verification message asking, ‘Are you a fashion designer?’
However, he waited for another ten minutes to no avail.
Damn it!
Ye Moxuan was losing his mind.
What is that woman doing?
Ye Moxuan grabbed his phone to check the time, and he realized that it was about 10PM now.
Could she be asleep? That’s impossible. My earlier friend request was sent before 10PM.
Ye Moxuan phoned Xiao Su upon coming to his conclusion.
Xiao Su was at a loss for words when he received Ye Moxuan’s phone call again. “Young Master Ye, how can I help you?”
“I have a question for you,” Ye Moxuan blurted with a cold and distant tone. “What could a person possibly be doing at 10PM?”
Xiao Su was dumbstruck upon receiving that question. “Y-Young Master Ye, what do you mean by that question?”
Ye Moxuan lighted a cigarette, and the cigarette smoke wafted across his handsome eyes, making him appear rather mysterious.
“Just answer my question.”
Xiao Su sounded shocked and afraid when he replied to him, “I suppose people are asleep at 10PM!”
“Huh?” Is she truly asleep? In that case, does that mean I have no choice but to wait until the next morning?
But I have a feeling that that woman wouldn’t sleeps so early.
After a short pause, Xiao Su answered suddenly, “If one has yet to sleep by 10PM, there are many things one could possibly do.”
Ye Moxuan scowled at his reply. “Such as?”
Xiao Su sensed that Ye Moxuan was extremely curious about this topic, and so he replied to Ye Moxuan seriously with every imaginable and possible answer he could think of.
“Young Master Ye, this is based on my inferences. 10PM is the bedtime for disciplined people in general; but nowadays, young people in large cities don’t sleep so early. Hence, at this hour, they are either enjoying nightlife in the city, or they might be working overtime. On the other hand, married people might be coaxing their children to sleep at this hour. Uh, or they might be carrying out certain marital duties…”
Xiao Su stated the last part of the sentence as an afterthought.
However, Ye Moxuan, who was listening to him on the other end of the phone call, narrowed his eyes ominously. “Marial duties?”
Xiao Su felt an inexplicable murderous intent in Ye Moxuan’s tone.
What is happening? Although Ye Moxuan has been moody for the past few years, he has been emotionally stable in a relative sense. However, why is he so irritable tonight?
“Young Master Ye, what happened?”
“Answer my question. Were you telling the truth?”
Xiao Su answered in embarrassment, “I suppose so. At least 90% of it is the truth!”
“So if a person doesn’t reply to your text message, it means that they are carrying out marital duties?”
“Uh… Young Master Ye, I mentioned an entire list of possibilities. Why are you…”
Why are you only focusing on this point? Could it be…
Xiao Su realized an important point suddenly.
“Is someone not replying to your messages, Young Master Ye?”
Ye Moxuan cocked a brow and sneered, “Do you have a death wish?”
“N-No, I don’t!”
Click!
Ye Moxuan hung up on him straight away again. Xiao Su was getting more confused while left with nothing but the busy tone over the line.
Why is he asking me such a strange question out of the blue?
Young Master Ye is doing the exact same things, just like five years ago, when he was in love with the Young Lady!
Could it be that Young Master Ye is in love with someone else??!!
Xiao Su’s expression changed drastically at the thought of it, and he stood up abruptly.
Who could it be? Who managed to catch Ye Moxuan’s attention?!
