“You don’t feel dizzy anymore? It seems like your condition is stable now. Are you still taking the medication I prescribed, Young Master Xuan? You have to remember to take it religiously because it helps with your recovery.”
Ye Moxuan nodded. “Thank you, Dr. Hao.”
“I can now fly home to China without worries since you have recovered well, Young Master Xuan. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Old Master Yuchi.”
Yuchi Jin stood up with the help of his cane and he nodded to Dr. Hao. “Xuan, walk Dr. Hao out.”
“No, that’s not necessary. The chauffeur has already been waiting outside. Besides, I’m familiar with the place. I can manage alone.” Dr. Hao stood up to leave after saying those words, as though he was afraid that Ye Moxuan would really walk him out.
After he left, Yuchi Jin stroked his beard. “What was up with Dr. Hao? Why was he in such a rush to leave? Do you think it might have been due to your fierce look?”
Ye Moxuan stared at Old Master Yuchi incredulously.
Yuchi Jin continued, “Otherwise, why would he leave the moment he heard that you might be walking him out?”
Ye Moxuan replied to him in embarrassment, “Grandfather, it has nothing to do with me.”
Yuchi Jin clucked his tongue when he saw how serious Ye Moxuan looked. “Just look at your expression. You looked as if others were indebted to you. Why would you have the audacity to claim that it has nothing to do with you?”
“Grandfather, I heard that you were looking for me.” He did not sound excited. In fact, he sounded cold and indifferent.
Yuchi Jin was unhappy when he heard his tone. “You are such a brat. Is this how you treat your own grandfather?”
Yuchi Jin raised his cane immediately to hit Ye Moxuan. However, Ye Moxuan dodged it swiftly and answered with a scowl across his forehead. “Grandfather, is this how you treat your own grandson? You raised your cane so high up. I would have been badly hurt if I hadn’t dodged that.”
Yuchi Jin stared at him pointedly. “Did you not dodge it anyway?”
Ye Moxuan looked cold and distant. “Is my dodging related to you wanting to hit me?”
The more cold and aloof Ye Moxuan was, the more Yuchi Jin thought that his grandson looked good. He is rather handsome and there is no doubt that he is my daughter’s son.
Yuchi Jin had a pained expression once he thought of his daughter, Yuchi Xin. “You resemble your mother. It’s just unfortunate…”
Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the study’s door suddenly.
“Enter.” After the door was pushed open, a servant stood by the door and she announced respectfully, “Old Master, Young Master Xuan, Miss Xue is here.”
“Huh?” Yuchi Jin cocked his snowy-white brow. “Is Xue here? Xuan, head downstairs now to host her on my behalf.”
“I’m not free,” Ye Moxuan rejected Yuchi Jin’s request without consideration.
Yuchi Jin snapped, “You are such a brat! How dare you reject me?! Is it decent to ignore Xue when she came all the way here? Besides, Xue was previously so concerned about you. Do you know that?” The old man nagged again. Ye Moxuan was extremely annoyed and closed his eyes to keep a blank mind. In the end, he turned around to leave, acting as if he heard nothing.
Yuchi Jin was about to chase after Ye Moxuan with more nagging, but just when Ye Moxuan was about to walk out of the room, a sweet voice called him, “Shen!”
Ye Moxuan froze when he heard that.
Yuchi Jin smiled gleefully. “Xue, you are here. I was about to get Shen to host you on my behalf. Have fun, yeah?” He is such a brat. The young lady is right in front of him now, so I’d like to see how he’s going to reject her.
Duanmu Xue sweetly smiled at Yuchi Jin. “Thank you, Grandfather Yuchi. Shen, how was your recovery today? Did you feel better?” She marched forward quickly to cling onto Ye Moxuan’s arm and leaned against him swiftly.
This action… Ye Moxuan impulsively shoved her hands away and he took several steps backward. In the next second, he took his suit jacket off and coldly warned her, “You’d better keep your distance.”
Duanmu Xue looked hurt. “Shen!” Her eyes immediately reddened with tears while she stood in front of Yuchi Jin.
Whack! Yuchi Jin’s cane struck violently and it almost hit Ye Moxuan on his arm. “You brat! Why are you treating Xue in such a way?”
“Ah, Shen!” Duanmu Xue screamed in horror when she saw that. “Grandfather, please don’t do that to Shen.”
“Shen, are you alright?” Duanmu Xue approached Ye Moxuan again while she worriedly looked at him. However, due to what had happened earlier, Duanmu Xue did not dare to hold his hand this time. She stood beside him instead while anxiously glancing at him.
“Xue, you don’t have to be so worried about him. He deserves to be punished for acting in such a disrespectful manner. Besides, my cane didn’t hit him in the end.”
Despite Yuchi Jin’s words, Duanmu Xue seemed extremely concerned for Ye Moxuan. “Grandfather, Shen was previously injured. He just recovered and I’d feel sad if you were to do that to him. Please don’t do that to Shen, okay?”
Duanmu Xue attempted to charm Yuchi Jin. On the other hand, Ye Moxuan left after announcing, “I’m busy.”
“Shen!” Duanmu Xue chased after him. Because Ye Moxuan had long legs, the strides that he took were much longer and he vanished out of sight within seconds. She appeared to be extremely frustrated that she couldn’t catch up to him at all.
It seems like it will take a lot of effort for Ye Moxuan to pay attention to me. How long has it been? I have been dropping by the Yuchi residence just to see him. I even looked after him when he was injured and I made sure that he was comfortable. Who would have thought…
“Xue, don’t give up,” Yuchi Jin encouraged after he noticed her disappointment. “My grandson shares the same personality as his mother. He is extremely stubborn and it is even more difficult to obtain his heart. If you truly have feelings for him, you better prepare yourself for a long battle ahead.”
Duanmu Xue became shy when she heard that. “Grandfather Yuchi, what are you saying?”
“What is it? Am I wrong? Don’t you have feelings for my grandson?”
Duanmu Xue’s fair face immediately blushed. “Grandfather Yuchi, aren’t you embarrassing me? Besides… Shen isn’t interested in me…”
“It is as I said earlier. If you truly have feelings for him, you will have to be strong-willed as it will be difficult to pursue my grandson.” I’ve heard about the recent events. Ye Moxuan completely ignored all the women who tried to flirt with him. That’s not my only observation. He is extremely particular with cleanliness and he wouldn’t let anyone touch him either. If Duanmu Xue wants to be with Ye Moxuan, it will be an uphill task for her. However, it’s not impossible for it to happen, though.
“Alright, I have other matters to attend to. Xue, make yourself comfortable.”
After leaving the study, Duanmu Xue went downstairs. She couldn’t help but smile when she recalled Ye Moxuan’s handsome face. It is undeniably challenging for me. However, there is hope now since things are different from before. In fact, I feel that Lady Luck is on my side. Otherwise, why did Ye Moxuan show up in front of me? Furthermore, he has even lost his memories now. The most important thing is that the Duanmu Family is now betrothed to the Yuchi Family.
