“Seriously, when you get married, remember to send an invitation to the Duanmu Family. I will take my sister to your wedding and choose a husband for her who is a hundred times more handsome than you. But you probably wouldn’t allow someone who’s more handsome than you to appear at your own wedding, right?”
Having said this, Duanmu Zhe even held his chin in a thinking motion. Han Muzi was stunned when she heard what he said. This man in front of me who looks so beautiful but not feminine is actually Duanmu Xue’s brother?
They… do not resemble each other in the slightest. Although Duanmu Xue was also a beauty, her aura is completely different from that of Duanmu Zhe. Whether it was the eyebrows or their facial features, the two did not share a single resemblance.
When Duanmu Xue heard what her brother had said, she became anxious and tugged at his shirt sleeves.
“Zhe, what are you saying? Saying that I am going to attend his wedding banquet and pick up a man there. Duanmu Zhe, what kind of person do you think I am?”
The expression on Duan Muze’s face was despicable, and he grinned. “Didn’t you fall for this man because of his looks? Now that he is about to get married, it wouldn’t be proper of you to pine after him. That’s why your big brother has decided to bring you out to look for a better one to bring home.”
Duanmu Xue stood abashed.
She had wanted to show off in front of her rival. However, she didn’t think that her own brother would embarrass her to the point that she had lost all dignity.
“Who said that I fell for him because of his looks? You don’t get it at all!”
After speaking, Duanmu Xue glared at Han Muzi angrily, then turned her head and left.
“Don’t send invitations to us. I definitely will not attend your wedding!”
The corners of Han Muzi’s mouth twitched, and she spat out two words, “Feel free.”
Ye Moxuan looked at her coldly. “As you wish.”
Duanmu Xue left in exasperation. When she arrived at the door, the servants hurriedly supported her. “Miss Duanmu, are you okay?”
Duanmu Xue held her head up high and puffed out her chest, as proud as a peacock. The servants then hurriedly followed after her.
After walking a few steps, Duanmu Xue suddenly waved her hand. “Come over and support me! I’m so angry that I can’t stand anymore!”
“Miss Duanmu!” The servants rushed up and quickly supported her.
“Damn it! Just when I finally find a man I like, someone gets in my way! And who was it among you lot who said to me that he was single? Why did a fiancée suddenly appear by his side? I’ve lost a lot of face because of this!”
The servants all lowered their heads, their voices were as loud as a mosquito.
“It… it should be false information, Miss Duanmu. When we get back, we will beat up the person who gave this info to death.”
“That’s right! We’ll beat him black and blue!”
“Forget it, just help me back home. I need to center myself, then come up with a plan!”
Duanmu Xue had originally thought that Han Muzi was just a normal woman chasing after Ye Moxuan, so she was confident about her chances. After all, with her status and beauty, there was no man she couldn’t get.
But now, hearing that he was going to marry, she realized that very soon, she would lose her chance to pursue him.
But her shame came pouring back to her quickly.
Why did she keep hanging on to someone who was about to get married? And remembering what she had said to Han Muzi and finding out that she was his fiancée, Duanmu Xue really felt foolish about herself. She was an absolute fool!
“My sister was so angry that she left? I really have to hand it to you guys. Then I’ll be going as well.” Duanmu Zhe finally stopped lying on the sofa, and stood up with one hand in his pocket. “Ye Moxuan, remember to send me an invitation next month. My sister may not want it, but I do.”
His raised, fox eyes fell on Han Muzi’s face, and he smiled widely.
“Just asking, does the future Mrs. Ye have any sisters?”
Han Muzi grimaced, but before she could answer, Ye Moxuan gave a cold snort. “None of your business. Your mission is over, so leave.”
“Damn,” Duanmu Zhe cursed. “You really are heartless. I came over here early in the morning to help you, and now that my sister is gone, you’re going to give me the cold shoulder?”
Ye Moxuan frowned and looked at the frivolous guy in front of him.
Before signing the contract, he and Duanmu Zhe had only met a few times. Although the man in front of him seemed to be smiling, Ye Moxuan knew that he was not as simple as he looked.
A family as large as Duanmu was tightly under his control, with everyone from the top to bottom working hard together like a well-oiled machine.
Perhaps, the seeming lackluster attitude was just a way for him to fool others.
Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and his gaze pierced Duanmu Zhe like a sharp arrow.
“Wow, I’m really scared of your look. Anyway, since my sister is gone, and I have nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave. Future Mrs. Ye, if you have a younger or older sister, please remember to introduce her to me.”
Saying finished, Duanmu Zhe gave her a wink.
Han Muzi was baffled by the man’s attitude.
This guy is really… she couldn’t help but grimaced again.
Thinking about it, today might be the most she had grimaced.
When Duanmu Zhe had left, Han Muzi was lost in her thoughts, until a sharp pain from her waist brought back her attention.
Looking at Ye Moxuan who was holding her in his arms, Han Muzi raised her eyebrows.
“Why are you holding me so tightly? It hurts.”
She stretched out her hand to pull away Ye Moxuan’s big hand on her waist.
Ye Moxuan’s frown deepened. Not only did he not let go, but he used his other hand to grab her.
“What are you thinking about?”
Voice hoarse and tinged with jealousy, he asked irritably, “Were you lost in thought because you were thinking about him?”
Han Muzi was stunned for several seconds before coming back to her senses, and looked at the striking face in front of her mirthfully.
“Ye Moxuan, are you that unconfident about yourself?”
“Hmm?”
“Why would I be seduced by other men when I have you here in front of me?”
The sudden compliment stunned Ye Moxuan. Han Muzi was immediately taken aback upon realizing what she had said when she finished speaking.
Why did I praise him? I’m just fueling his arrogance further!
Han Muzi was just about to say something to ease his concern, but she noticed that Ye Moxuan’s ears turned bright red.
Thinking that she was mistaken, she took a closer look and saw that they were indeed red.
“You… can actually get embarrassed?”
She said this with no small amount of surprise, staring at his red ears. Curious, she couldn’t help but want to stretch out her hands and touch his ears.
Just when her fingertips were about to touch his ears, Ye Moxuan grabbed her hands.
“What are you doing?” he asked, his voice a little hoarse.
Han Muzi blinked, still trying to reach out and touch his ears, a curious look on her face. “Just let me touch them for a bit.”
This was the first time he was acting all shy in front of her, so she was really surprised.
“You can touch them if you want.” Ye Moxuan leaned his body over and nibbled on her ear. “You just have to give me something in exchange.”
“Forget about it,” said Han Muzi.
“Too late for that.”
