“Do I look good?” Han Muzi was still thinking about Ye Moxuan kissing her unknowingly, which she thought was fun. That was why after hearing the question, she unconsciously nodded. However, she realized soon after that something was wrong. There is only me and Ye Moxuan left in the office. Who could he be asking except for me?
As she came around, Ye Moxuan had already stood up at some point, and his eyes landed straight on her face while he asked her mockingly. Her ears were heating up as she realized she had accidentally fallen into a trance while staring at him.
Han Muzi could only pretend nothing had happened, so she turned her head over to wipe the windowsill mechanically.
Tap, tap. She heard footsteps getting closer from behind as though Ye Moxuan had stood up. The firm footsteps slowly approached her, and each step felt like a stomp on her heart. As he got closer, Han Muzi’s heartbeat accelerated. She didn’t know what was going on with her. Obviously, the both of them had known each other for a long time, and now, Ye Moxuan was the one who couldn’t recognize her. Why am I still restless when he comes close to me?
Han Muzi held the wet cloth tight in her hand. When she turned away to escape, she happened to run straight into Ye Moxuan’s arms. “Ah!”
The next second, Ye Moxuan stretched his hands out and trapped her within his embrace.
Han Muzi unconsciously used her hands to protect her chest while she widened her eyes to look at him in disbelief. What is he doing? It was clear that he avoided me extensively that day. Why did he suddenly take the initiative to come close to me?
“You came into Yuchi Group because of me, right?” His eyes were cold, but his voice was menacing. His imposing figure was standing in front of her, and when viewed from the back, it looked as though he had almost engulfed her. “That day at the entrance, you also did it on purpose.” He wasn’t asking her; instead, he sounded sure of it.
Han Muzi was rendered speechless. Of course, she couldn’t admit to it. If she told him that she came in just for him, he might haul her out of the company. After all, he wasn’t the same Ye Moxuan as before. Therefore, she shook her head vigorously and denied it.
Although she kept on denying and shaking her head in front of him, her clean eyes still spelled panic, as if she was lying. Other than that… there were also traces of other emotions. As to what they were, Ye Moxuan couldn’t see them clearly. Then, he squinted his eyes before bending over to get closer to her and have a clearer look.
Just like that, Han Muzi saw that his body was leaning closer to her. His warm breath even enveloped her face, which caused her heartbeat to accelerate.
Creak! A sound came from the door, and it shocked Han Muzi. George stood next to the door of the office as he was stunned by the scene he just saw, as if he had just discovered a new world.
After Han Muzi got her senses back, she bent over and squirmed out of Ye Moxuan’s arms. Then, she escaped the office as though she was caught in the act by someone. When she ran past George, he stared at her with amusement. As soon as she was gone, George put one hand in his pocket and chuckled.
“Yuchi Shen, you really surprise me everytime. Wasn’t it rumored that you weren’t fond of women? I’ve heard that you don’t even bat an eye on any woman who hit on you. But now…” George was really taken aback by him. Then, he shook his head resignedly and clicked his tongue. “I never knew that you’re just like me.”
Ye Moxuan remained in the same posture as before. When he heard his words, he retracted his hands and went back to his desk with a cold face. That’s such a pity. Just when I was about to see through her eyes, she ran away. There was still half of the coffee left, so he lifted the cup to his lips.
Meanwhile, George had already walked up to him while he looked at him scoundrelly. “Did you kiss her?”
Ye Moxuan froze at the moment he wanted to drink the coffee. Fortunately, he hadn’t started drinking it, otherwise… he might actually choke on it after listening to George’s words. He turned his head over, and his eyes fell sullenly on him.
After seeing him pinning a girl in a kabedon, George was sure that Ye Moxuan was the same kind of person he was, so he didn’t feel terrified when he squinted his cold eyes at him. Instead, he walked toward him while raising his eyebrows. “How did it feel?”
Ye Moxuan retracted his eyes and sat on the chair while holding the cup. “Don’t impose your filthy mind on my matters.” He lowered his head to take a sip of the coffee. The taste roamed freely in his mouth while he slowly spoke, “I’m different from you.”
George clucked his tongue. “How are you different from me? I actually thought that you and I were different before; after all, everyone in the company thought that you weren’t fond of women, and you ignored every girl who hit on you. I really thought you were that kind of a person. But what did I see just now? Hmm, what did I see?”
George thought about that moment just now when he trapped the lady in his arms while leaning his body against her. It is obvious he was trying to kiss her, right?
Ye Moxuan pressed his lips as the aura around him got colder. “You’ve come for something?”
As he brought this up, George immediately became serious and nodded. “Of course there is something. You know about that old man in my house?”
Ye Moxuan maintained his composure while he lowered his head to look at his notebook. His face was so indifferent that it seemed as though he didn’t notice the person in front of him.
“He clearly knows how much I love to enjoy life and how much I love beautiful women, but that old man actually forced a fiancée to me. I had someone look into her, and afterward, I realized that the woman’s looks… fall too far from my usual standard. I also heard that she has a strong personality, which means she is one mean lady. If I get together with this woman in the future, she’d control my every action, wouldn’t she?”
Ye Moxuan ignored him while his delicate fingers were still typing the keyboard. His face was indifferent, as always.
George was already used to this attitude of his, so he didn’t take notice of it and continued his rant. “Of course, I won’t agree to this, but that old man warned me if I don’t go with her, he will cut off all of my bank cards. Yuchi Shen, you must think of a way to help me. Yuchi Shen, do you hear me? Think of a plan for me quickly.”
Ye Moxuan lifted his head, and his cold eyes fell on his face. “Get out,” he growled at him ruthlessly.
George was left silent. Goddamn it. What kind of a friend is he? He can’t even think of a plan in such a crucial moment. “Why don’t you meet that woman for me? If she sees you, she’ll definitely fall for you. By that time, the old man won’t be able to bother me anymore.”
Ye Moxuan sneered, “In your dreams.”
Since he wasn’t inclined to help, George had no other way. He got so angry that he simply sat on his couch and crossed his legs like a scoundrel. “Fine. Since you don’t want to help, I’ll just stay here in your office, and I’ll also live off you from now on. After the old man cuts off my bank cards, I’ll move over to your house since Grandfather Yuchi won’t chase me away.”
“Have it your way.” Ye Moxuan’s face was still indifferent as he didn’t care about his situation. He acted as if the fortune of the Yuchi family wasn’t his.
