Lin Qingqing? The corridor was empty, and not even a shadow was seen. Han Muzi bit on her lips while staring blankly at the back of Ye Moxuan’s head. Will he not believe me?
While thinking about it, Ye Moxuan kept quiet and went back into the ward. He then locked the door before dragging Han Muzi further inside. She felt a bit frustrated at him. He’s so quiet. What does it mean?
At first, she wanted to shake off his hand, but after remembering the injury on his back, she could only hold back her temper and ask, “What’s on your mind? Do you not believe me?”
After listening to her, Ye Moxuan gave her a glance and smiled. “How could I not believe you? Even if I don’t believe in everyone else, I will still believe you.”
Then why didn’t you let me see you back then to explain myself? She almost spat out the word ‘liar’, but in the end, she kept it to herself.
She realized that she had gotten good at holding back her rage lately. I’m becoming like an extremely patient monk now.
As she thought about it, she turned her back toward him, so that she wouldn’t have to look at his eyes, and sneered, “Then why did you drag me inside? If she is really here, there is a chance I can find her.”
“What will you do if you did?” Ye Moxuan asked.
“What?” Han Muzi widened her eyes in surprise, for she didn’t expect him to ask such a question.
“I’m asking what you will do if you found her. It is now midnight. Do you think she would come here for no reason? Didn’t you learn your lesson that day? Or…” Ye Moxuan was clear with his every word. “Is it because I blocked you from the acid, so you feel safe and unknowing of the danger upon you? Don’t you think she will splash it on you again if you show up in front of her?” At the end, Ye Moxuan’s tone turned chilly.
Then Han Muzi widened her eyes in disbelief. “What are you saying? Are you blaming me?”
Ye Moxuan neither denied nor said anything.
She felt like laughing upon seeing him like that. A second later, she asked again, “Then why do you think everything turned out like this?”
His face was detached from any emotions while he remained silent.
Han Muzi, on the other hand, stared at him. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been targeted by such a terrifying woman. You two could have just dated like normal people; why did you have to involve me in this? It was because of you messing around with me that made her think I was seducing you. That’s why she is now after me. Who should be the one angry now?”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless for a minute before replying, “I don’t like her, so why should I date her?”
“You don’t like her, but you still went on several dates with her. Ye Moxuan, are you joking with me?” Han Muzi was getting agitated as her words had become irrational.
No one could tell whether Ye Moxuan was angry or trying to explain to her. He just immediately grabbed hold of her wrist and snapped, “Don’t you know the reason I went on several dates with her? If I recall correctly, you were there for every date. Am I right?”
Han Muzi kept quiet as she was startled, then she flung away his hand. “That was because I wasn’t aware of the situation. If I had known you would be there, I definitely wouldn’t have gone.”
“Is that so?” Ye Moxuan sneered. “Even though you didn’t know, you still went. And now, you are here, in the ward, taking care of me. Muzi, don’t you think everything isn’t going the way you planned?”
His words changed Han Muzi’s expression. He is right. Everything isn’t going the way that I expected. I always wanted to divert myself away, but it tends to lead toward another unbelievable way. That is scary.
After giving it a thought, Han Muzi turned toward him and jeered, “That’s none of my business. No matter how it went, you can’t hide the fact that you were dating her. All you had to do was to focus on dating her. I—”
Before she finished, Ye Moxuan forcefully cut her off. “But the person I love is you. How could I focus on dating her?”
Han Muzi felt breathless all of a sudden. What is this man talking about?
While she was frustrated about the situation, her back suddenly felt warm as Ye Moxuan hugged her from behind.
She was left staggered. “What are you doing?”
“Don’t push me to someone else. Even if you don’t want me, don’t push me away.”
There was a sense of sorrow in his voice, and for a moment, Han Muzi actually felt sorry for him. But… he was never mine.
As she thought about it, Han Muzi spoke in a lowered voice, “Let me go first.”
“Promise me you won’t push me to someone else.”
Han Muzi was speechless for a moment before she uttered, “This ends here, so just drop it and don’t mention this again. Going back to the topic, I really saw Lin Qingqing just now, and I think that she is very dangerous. I need to make a call.”
Her tone was serious and stern, so Ye Moxuan slowly let her go. But before that, he cheekily kissed the back of her neck.
Han Muzi couldn’t help but quiver her neck at the soft and cold touch of his lips. The sensation left her before she came back to her senses.
She had a peek at the door before taking out her phone, and she then went into the washroom.
These subtle actions were all noticed by Ye Moxuan. Looks like this woman is scared senseless. But if it was really Lin Qingqing, it is indeed quite a dangerous situation.
At this point, Ye Moxuan also took out his phone and made a call to Xiao Su.
In the washroom.
Han Muzi dialed Yan’s phone number, but she didn’t pick up the phone, which panicked her. What’s wrong with Yan? Why isn’t she picking up the call?
Therefore, Han Muzi could only try again and again, dialing her number.
Finally, at the fifth try, the phone was answered. As Han Muzi heard the familiar voice on the phone, she almost screamed.
“What’s wrong with you? Why did you wait till now to answer the phone? Has anything happened?”
“Huh?” Yan asked, as if she couldn’t sense her nervousness. “I didn’t pick it up just now because I was taking a bath. What is it?”
“You’re all back at the Han residence?”
“Yup. You asked me to bring Little Bean back, so we’re back.”
“How is Little Bean?”
“He’s asleep.”
“Can you take a look at him to see if he is safe?”
“Don’t worry. I knew that you would be worried, so Little Bean will be sleeping with me tonight. Besides, the Han residence is so well guarded; I don’t think Lin Qingqing would even dare to come here. Little Bean is safe beside me. Even if you don’t believe me, you have faith in your own brother, right?”
Her last words comforted Han Muzi. She thought Yan was right, so she nodded. “Alright. Then please take good care of him. And also… about the school, I think it’s better for him to skip school for the time being because I’m afraid that Lin Qingqing may harm him while he is alone at school.”
“The school? I don’t think that’s possible. It is an elite school; they won’t simply let strangers in.”
“Is that so?” For some reason, Han Muzi still didn’t feel assured.
In the end, the call ended with the matter unsettled.
