Duanmu Xue’s expression changed immediately upon leaving the office. She didn’t look as frail and weak as she did in the office; instead, she held her dress up while limping forward.
She saw the washroom at the side, and she walked toward it furiously.
She wiped her tears away on her way there, and something strange gleamed in her eyes.
How dare Ye Moxuan treat me in this manner!
I fell so hard on the floor, but he barely looked at me. He even took off the clothes I touched earlier!
Duanmu Xue was extremely resentful. Am I not good enough? Why doesn’t Ye Moxuan pay attention to me?
In any case, I am the Young Lady of the Duanmu family. I must not allow myself to be the laughing stock of the masses. Hence, she entered the washroom to tidy and freshen up to ensure that she would leave the place looking fabulous.
After Duanmu Xue entered the washroom, she started reapplying her make-up. She couldn’t help but inhale sharply when she saw her lower lip that was bleeding. Duanmu Xue’s gaze turned hateful at that moment.
There was the sound of one of the toilets flushing suddenly, and Duanmu Xue immediately turned around while looking alert.
“Who is that??”
No one would see how ugly I am now, I hope!
The flushing sound quietened gradually, and the cubicle door opened before Duanmu Xue saw a woman walking out of the cubicle.
Her pupils constricted immediately when she got a good look at the woman’s face.
Why… is she here?
Han Muzi walked out calmly, and she seemed unfazed when she met Duanmu Xue’s eyes. Duanmu Xue crushed her loose powder in her hands while staring at Han Muzi with hatred.
“It’s you!”
Han Muzi smiled faintly, and she appeared calm and collected.
Her reaction was casual, as if she was unperturbed by Duanmu Xue’s appearance. Duanmu Xue hissed through gritted teeth, “Why are you here?”
Duanmu Xue did not expect to see Han Muzi here.
After all, I know what happened to Ye Moxuan, and I know what Grandfather Yuchi did. However, Grandfather Yuchi doesn’t know that I knew Ye Moxuan long ago. Hence, I didn’t say anything when Grandfather Yuchi did those things.
At that time, I thought that lady luck was on my side since Ye Moxuan lost his memory, and especially when Grandfather Yuchi erased his past. I thought it was the best chance created just for me to get closer to Ye Moxuan again.
Who would have expected that Ye Moxuan, who has lost his memories, is still the same as before? He is completely unmoved no matter what I do.
I may feel angry and frustrated, but I have never thought of giving up because I will figure a way to have Ye Moxuan all to myself.
But now, I can’t believe I just bumped into Han Muzi here.
Duanmu Xue started panicking immediately because she knew about the relationship between Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan after all.
“You shouldn’t ask me this question.” Han Muzi replied to her casually. She bent down slightly to wash her hands before having them dried under the dryer machine. The loud noise suddenly filled the quiet washroom.
However, Duanmu Xue marched toward Han Muzi suddenly.
“Why are you here? How did you find him? Did you show up long ago?”
I didn’t realize at all because I thought I didn’t have to worry much since Grandfather Yuchi has done the dirty work. Who would have guessed… that Han Muzi showed up anyway?
Duanmu Xue was very loud with her questioning.
Something flashed across Han Muzi’s gaze as well, and she stared at Duanmu Xue while feeling at a loss for words. However, she smirked after a while. “Why are you so nervous? I don’t think I need to explain the reason for my being here. As for the question of how I found him? I suppose our hearts called for each other. After all… we are husband and wife.”
Duanmu Xue went berserk at the mention of ‘husband and wife’. She threw away everything in her hands and charged forward to grab Han Muzi by her shoulders.
“No! You two aren’t husband and wife! He did not even show up at the wedding. You are merely a bride who was abandoned at the altar during the wedding, and you are nothing but a laughing stock in the news. The two of you aren’t husband and wife at all!”
She was very strong, and Han Muzi scowled deeply because of the pain, and so she stared at Duanmu Xue frostily.
“Let go.”
It must have been the strong aura around Han Muzi or her unwavering gaze, because Duanmu Xue actually let go of her obediently.
By the time Duanmu Xue snapped back to her senses, she had already loosened her grip, and she was feeling rather annoyed. However, she did not approach Han Muzi; instead, she snorted in disdain. “He did not show up at the wedding because he didn’t want to be married to you. Just look at yourself; do you think you are worthy to be with him? Ha! You are rather shameless to chase him all the way here. What is it? Did you truly think that he will be with you as long as you follow him all the way here?”
Despite Duanmu Xue’s efforts of maintaining her image and appearance as a wealthy Young Lady, she was blinded by rage while her face was distorted horribly by anger.
Han Muzi heard everything through the office door earlier, and just before Duanmu Xue left the office, Han Muzi entered the washroom.
If Duanmu Xue comes in as well, it means that we have to see each other after all.
If she doesn’t come into the washroom, well… I’ll just pretend that I didn’t see her today.
However, reality proves that fate wanted us to meet today.
“If we are competing to see who is the more shameless person, I don’t think anyone could ever beat you. You know very well that he is in love with someone, but you are still shameless enough to seduce him,” Han Muzi retorted while folding her arms in front of her chest. She shot Duanmu Xue a pitiful look. “Who would have thought that the Duanmu family raised a daughter who is eager to be a mistress? I truly am curious about the education you’ve received since childhood.”
Duanmu Xue glared at her viciously. “Who are you calling a mistress?”
Han Muzi answered promptly, “Whoever who admits that she is one.”
Duanmu Xue hissed, “You!” However, something struck while she was glaring at Han Muzi, and then she grinned smugly.
“I suppose you haven’t heard the news. The Yuchi the Duanmu family have stayed good friends for generations. I am getting engaged with him soon; by that time, not only would he be engaged with me, he would even get married and have children with me. As for you… Haha! I suppose you were referring to yourself as the mistress in this situation!”
“Is that so?” Han Muzi smiled faintly. “Please do send me an invite if you both end up getting engaged one day,” she added casually.
I would be delighted if Han Muzi were to lose her temper, and I would have rubbed salt to her wound. However, she is so calm; in fact, she seemed unfazed by what I just said.
She wouldn’t have acted in such a way… if she weren’t confident!
Why is she so confident? Could it be possible… that Ye Moxuan has regained his memories?
I-Impossible!
It’s impossible for Ye Moxuan to have regained his memories so quickly. In that case, why is she so confident?
Duanmu Xue was feeling afraid now, and she glared at Han Muzi, who was standing right in front, before walking toward her slowly.
“Why are you so confident? Don’t you know that Grandfather Yuchi would force Ye Moxuan to get engaged with me even if he doesn’t agree to it? I suggest you leave soon if you know what’s best for you. Otherwise, you’d just end up crying your heart out.”
