Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but look at her with raised eyebrows after hearing what she had to say. A moment later, the corners of his mouth quirked as he spoke in a low and husky voice, “You’re much smarter now than I imagined.” Han Muzi rolled her eyes at him. She had always been smart.
After Han Muzi bit her lips and tightened it, she turned over to look sharply at him. “So? If Doctor Song fancied her, then she must have a decent background, or else Doctor Song wouldn’t have simply introduced her to you. Hence, it’s possible that Lin Qingqing’s mother is a friend of Doctor Song’s. If that’s the case, do you still want to send her to court?”
“Yes,” Ye Moxuan answered without hesitation. Han Muzi’s pink lips twitched as she was stumped. She didn’t expect him to be this resolute.
Ye Moxuan’s eye suddenly glinted, and he spoke meaningfully, “But… Muzi, we aren’t divorced yet, so you don’t need to act as a stranger and call her ‘Doctor Song’. She is my aunt, hence… she is your aunt too.”
“Who says she’s my aunt?” She immediately stood up and got away from him while tucking her arms in front of her chest. “You can’t decide on this by yourself. Have you told this to your aunt?”
“No.” Ye Moxuan shook his head.
Han Muzi couldn’t help but widen her eyes. “No? What if your aunt finds out about it?”
“What?” Ye Moxuan’s eyebrows raised slightly. “I thought we don’t have the same aunt. Then why are you so concerned about my aunt? What does it have to do with you if she knows or not?”
Han Muzi remained silent.
Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan’s eyes were filled with vague joy, but in that joy, there was also a sense of deep tolerance, as if anything she said would not offend him.
“What’s going on in that melon of yours?” Han Muzi bit her lower lip. “Do you think that I actually cared about you? Then I must say you’re thinking too much. This whole thing was my fault. I just don’t want to drag you down with me. That’s all.”
While she was explaining, Ye Moxuan kept on staring at her.
Quickly, Han Muzi kept her mouth shut and stopped talking. Seeing his expression, she knew that he wouldn’t believe a word she said.
At this point, she could only say, “Anyway, as someone who almost became the victim of this situation, I advise you to tell your aunt. Of course, this is only my advice. You can choose whether to listen or not.”
“How can I not listen to the orders given by my wife?” A faint smile crossed his lips as he had an infuriating look on his face.
Han Muzi closed her eyes while she tried to calm the rage inside her. Then, she forced out a smile at him and turned away, ignoring him.
Even though Ye Moxuan promised her to tell Song An, he still secretly refused to do so. After all… he was already a grown man, so he had the ability to take care of this situation. Besides, he never wanted a date anyway, as it was forced to him by Song An.
Not only did this woman bother him, she almost hurt his beloved woman. All of these were enough for him to bear a grudge against her. Thinking about it, Ye Moxuan let out a cold chuckle.
Nonetheless… he was not prepared to tell Song An because he wanted to take care of it himself. He wanted to protect his woman.
Even though he didn’t tell Song An, it didn’t mean that she didn’t know about it.
After Song An went back to Su City, she kept thinking about the date. That girl, Lin Qingqing, looks so in love with Ye Moxuan. I don’t believe such a fiery torch couldn’t melt that iceberg heart of his.
However, she never considered that an iceberg was a mountain of ice, and a torch was just a torch. How could a torch melt away such a humongous iceberg?
Ring! Song An was at the kitchen slicing some fruits when her phone started to ring. After she sliced off the last fruit, she rushed out of the kitchen and picked up the phone.
As soon as she saw the name shown on the phone, she couldn’t help but quirk up the corners of her lips. If Lin Qingqing’s mother is calling me now, does that mean something good has happened?
However, Song An didn’t feel optimistic at the situation, because according to her understanding of her nephew, she expected this call to be more of a call for help.
Even if one’s spirit was fiery hot, Ye Moxuan was not an easy target to get. Added to the fact that he already had someone in his heart, that iceberg of a man will be even harder to melt.
As Song An thought about it, she took a bite out of an apple and answered the call. “Hello?”
“Song An!” The moment she answered the call, a heart-tearing voice came piercing through the phone, almost frightening her soul.
“W-What is it?” Song An asked after swallowing the piece of apple in her mouth.
“Sob! Song An, you need to save my daughter. We have known each other for so many years. Even if your nephew doesn’t like my daughter, he shouldn’t be so cruel toward her.”
Song As remained silent as she continued listening to her.
“I know that us, the Lin family, are too ambitious for thinking we can heighten our status by merging with the Ye family. But… isn’t it normal for any single person to act like that? We don’t need to make such a big fuss because of some puppy love, right? And it is normal for young girls to have a temper. So why did he need to be this ruthless to her?”
Mrs. Lin kept on whining, but Song An couldn’t understand a word she was saying since she didn’t know what was going on. Even so, Mrs. Lin didn’t care to explain clearly as she went on crying her way.
“Umm… can you tell me what happened?”
“Song An, you also know our dear Qingqing, and you know what kind of a person she is, right? I remember that you were impressed by her the first time, weren’t you?”
“So what actually happened?” Song An asked again.
“I remember whenever our dear Qingqing saw you, she would always call you ‘Aunty Song’ affectionately. That day after we came back from the date, as a mother, I could see that she really liked your nephew, even though she didn’t tell me that. But… sob!”
At the same time, Song An’s head was fuming. Finally, she couldn’t resist anymore, so she grinded her teeth and snapped, “Stop!”
Mrs. Lin stopped her crying for a while, then slowly, she went back weeping again.
“Hey, did you call me just to cry? If you don’t plan to tell me what’s going on, fine. You can cry your heart out. Just call me later after you’re done with your whimpering.” Song An was a harsh person and was prompt with her decision-making. She knew that Mrs. Lin’s crying wouldn’t stop if she didn’t cut her off.
As expected, Mrs. Lin immediately stopped crying after her threat of hanging up. “Don’t hang up your phone. I have something important to tell you.”
Listening to her usual calm voice from the phone, Song An couldn’t help but smirk. Who do you think you’re messing with? Do you really think you can overpower me with your weak cry?
“Spill. What happened?”
“Actually, this is what happened…”
