Han Muzi stopped as she was putting on her clothes, and she raised her eyes to have a look at Ye Moxuan. His expression was serious. It didn’t feel like he was joking; instead, it appeared that he was determined to stay. His face stated clearly that he wouldn’t be going anywhere if he didn’t see his son tonight.
Yan is already back. Will Ye Moxuan bump into Little Bean if he goes out? As she thought about it, her heartbeat accelerated while she buttoned up her shirt and quickly brushed her messy hair.
Then, she walked to the front of Ye Moxuan. “Put your clothes on. I will go and give him an ideological education first. You go back to your house and wait for me.”
As she finished, she immediately pushed him outside the door without waiting for his reply. Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but frown at her actions, so he asked her while going outside, “What ideological education?”
“Aren’t you afraid of him disowning you?” She had already pushed him to the side of the door. Then, she quickly opened it and shoved him out. “Quick. Go downstairs,” Han Muzi urged him while he leaned against the stairs. His enormous physique was motionless, as though he was trying her patience.
“I’ve said that I won’t be leaving. If you want to get rid of me, why don’t you push me down from here?”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless. “Are you crazy?” She grinded her teeth while some part of her was still worried. If it wasn’t for fear, she wouldn’t have gotten up at this time.
Ye Moxuan stared at her with his pitch-black eyes. No one could tell if there were countless emotions in it or not. “Muzi, I’m not crazy.” A while later, Han Muzi heard his calm voice. “I’ve said it on the way to the airport that I want to be the father of your child. It must… be fulfilled today. You can’t stop me no matter what you do.”
Han Muzi stood rooted to the spot while her red lips twitched, but she didn’t know what to say since she was helpless. Is there no other way of stopping this? I have kept Little Bean hidden for so long. Is he really going to see his daddy today? What will Ye Moxuan’s reaction be like?
She bit on her lower lips with her eyes closed. Finally, it seemed like she tacitly agreed to his action, and she spoke to him in a low voice, “Come into the room with me and tidy up your clothes.”
He knew that she had given up resisting and had approved tacitly, so he followed her into the room.
After coming into the room, Ye Moxuan tidied up his clothes, but Han Muzi came to him with an iron and said. “Your shirt is wrinkled. Take it off.”
Without giving it a second thought, he took off his white shirt and gave it to her.
Then, Han Muzi found a spot to iron his shirt for him.
Every time she saw Ye Moxuan, his clothes were always tidy and without any wrinkles, whether it was a shirt or suit, but after… that incident, his clothes had become crumpled. Perhaps out of her own guilt, or maybe she was trying to help Ye Moxuan leave a good impression when meeting with Little Bean, she helped him to iron it out.
She looked focused when ironing his shirt. Under the gentle light, as she was bending her waist, a few strains of her hair drooped to conceal a portion of her eyes, making her look even more tender.
Seeing Han Muzi this way, Ye Moxuan felt that his heart was suddenly stuffed with balls of cotton while it turned his insides soft.
As soon as she was done, she handed over the shirt to Ye Moxuan and helped him put on his tie. She was as gentle as an angel from heaven when doing all of these.
As Ye Moxuan kept on staring at her quietly, a sudden affection for her flashed through his black eyes. All of a sudden, he couldn’t help but hug her while she was halfway through tying the tie.
“What are you doing?” Han Muzi was stunned as she tried to push him away. “It wasn’t easy for me to iron out all the wrinkles on your shirt. Don’t crumple it again.”
Then, Ye Moxuan stepped back. “I won’t disappoint you, alright?”
“What?”
“I will take good care of you two forever. I will treat the two of you as my closest people in the world.”
Han Muzi felt a bit surprised. Why is he suddenly making a pledge? “You’re so touched just because I ironed your shirt?”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless before he pinched on to her cheek and said resignedly, “Don’t you know how to be romantic? Why do you have to ruin the atmosphere now?”
“I think you’d better keep these words to yourself until you meet Little Bean. I hope you won’t be too shocked about it.” She finished with his tie and went on tidying herself up.
Ten minutes later, Han Muzi opened the door and brought Ye Moxuan downstairs. “You wait here. I’ll… go and see where Little Bean is at.”
He should be in Yan’s room. As Han Muzi thought about it, she went up to call Little Bean down.
When she opened the door, she found that Yan was applying a facial mask. “Eh? Muzi?”
Han Muzi looked around, but she couldn’t find Little Bean anywhere. “Where is he?”
“He?” Yan blinked. “Who is he?”
“Little Bean. Didn’t you bring him back just now?”
When Little Bean was mentioned, Yan thought about it and nodded. “I did bring him back. He just had his bath and went downstairs already. Didn’t you see him?”
Han Muzi was left speechless. “H-He went downstairs?”
Seeing her face, Yan felt that something was wrong. “What is it? Didn’t you see him downstairs? I remember now. I think he said that he wanted to wash some fruits in the kitchen… to serve the guest or something…”
Both of them went silent after.
Downstairs.
Little Bean was wiggling his bottom while searching inside the fridge for a long time. Finally, he finished washing a plate of fruits. When the child came out of the kitchen with the plate of fruit, he happened to see a figure in the living room.
Ye Moxuan was sitting on the sofa as his eyes and expressions showed his unrest. I’m just… meeting a kid. What am I nervous about? Even if his identity is special, he is still a five-year-old. How is it possible that an adult like me won’t be able to handle him? For the first time, Ye Moxuan felt unprepared. What can I say when I meet him later? What should I call him? I think I’ve heard Muzi call him Little Bean before. Little Bean, is it? It sounds like… a cute name.
Thinking about it, Ye Moxuan suddenly stood up as he was still a little nervous. His brows furrowed as he felt that he shouldn’t be this troubled about it, so he sat back down.
Then, he tapped the table top with his finger tips, but the rhythm of it was unstable. There was a lot going on in his black eyes, and finally, he took out his phone to ask the middle-aged men in the company’s WeChat group.
Ye Moxuan: ‘What should I say first when meeting a kid for the first time?’
It was probably late at that time, so the group was quiet, and nobody replied.
Ye Moxuan was starting to become frustrated as he was impatient of waiting. Less than five seconds later, he retrieved his text and locked the screen of the phone before putting it away in his pocket.
Why isn’t Muzi down yet? Is she… trying to send him away again? As Ye Moxuan thought about it, his expression changed. The tall and well-built man stood up, preparing to go upstairs and find Han Muzi.
As soon as Ye Moxuan turned his body, his eyes unintentionally fell on Little Bean, who was standing right there while holding a plate of fruits. His height didn’t even reach his knees.
Just a look at him felt like a thunderstrike on Ye Moxuan as he stood there dumbfoundedly.
