While they were eating, Han Muzi was still feeling guilty over what had happened in the kitchen earlier. When she was carrying out the dishes, she did not even dare to look at Song An for fear that she would see through her. After all the dishes were served, Han Muzi used the excuse of wanting to take off her coat and went back to her room. Then, she went into the bathroom.
As soon as she entered the bathroom, Han Muzi immediately stared at her reflection in the mirror and found that there was nothing unusual about her lips except that they were slightly red. There was a reason why she only wanted to allow Ye Moxuan to kiss her for a while; her lips would swell if she was kissed for too long. By then, with just a glance, Song An would know what was going on.
Although everyone knew that there were a few things that a man and a woman in a relationship would do, it was still embarrassing for it to be brought up. Fortunately, she did not look as if anything had happened to her. After relaxing her nerves, she then returned to the dining table.
When she was about to get a bowl of rice for herself, Ye Moxuan had already filled one and handed it to her. Han Muzi stretched out her hand to take it and saw him staring at her with a faint smile. “Didn’t you go to take off your coat?”
Han Muzi did not know what to say at that moment. She lowered her head subconsciously and found that she was still in the same set of clothes. With a dumbfounded expression on her face, her ears started to redden. He was deliberately messing with her. He mentioned it intentionally, despite knowing that she was embarrassed.
Han Muzi glared fiercely at him before saying, “I felt cold after taking it off, so I put it on again. Is there a problem?”
Song An, who had already sat down, smiled slightly after hearing those words. “Of course there’s no problem. It’s important to keep warm in this kind of weather, so layer up!”
When Han Muzi looked at him, she saw that his expression was indifferent and there was nothing strange about it. Only then did she feel that she was thinking too much and became nervous instead. She then went with the flow. “Thank you for your concern. I will.”
When they were done eating, although Ye Moxuan was sitting next to Han Muzi, she was ignoring him. She would only talk to Song An and did not even turn her head to face him once.
Meanwhile, although Song An appeared calm on the surface, she would still look at Ye Moxuan from time to time while talking to Han Muzi. She found that he was not angry, and instead, his ink-black eyes contained a pampering smile. Five years ago, she had witnessed everything between these two people. After the five years had passed, Song An thought that their fate was over and that was why she introduced Ye Moxuan to a different target as she hoped that he could move on. However, she did not expect that these two people would meet again and…
In short, looking back on the past, one could only sigh. It was not easy for these two people to have made it this far. After this incident, Song An could see that they would probably be inseparable for the rest of their lives. Thinking of this, she suddenly looked at Ye Moxuan and asked, “Do you have any plans in the future?”
Suddenly, Han Muzi was stunned for a moment. She stared at Song An blankly but only saw that the woman’s gaze was on Ye Moxuan’s face.
Seeing that the other party was asking so bluntly, Ye Moxuan thought about it seriously before answering, “I want to marry Muzi, but… it depends on whether she’s willing to or not.”
While holding the bowl of rice in her hands, Han Muzi paused for a moment before saying, “About that, Aunty Song… we’re only dating now. Let’s keep the marriage talk for the future.”
Song An knew Han Muzi was trying to dismiss her and stop her from asking. However, she ignored her and continued, “What about your family? Do they know about this?”
“Aunty Song—”
“Muzi, eat your food.” Song An smiled at her slightly. While it looked harmless enough, that smile was lethal.
Han Muzi did not want to talk about this topic at all, so she could only bite the bullet and say, “I don’t think it’s too appropriate to talk about this during dinner. Why don’t we talk about this after dinner?” She initially thought that her suggestion would be rejected, but Song An unexpectedly nodded. “Okay, we’ll talk about it after dinner then.”
What ended up happening was that, once they were done with dinner, Song An called Han Muzi to the kitchen and said, “Muzi, I’ll need to trouble you to wash the dishes.”
As Ye Moxuan was there, Han Muzi could not say much and only silently glanced at Song An. After heading into the kitchen, she did not know what Song An would say to Ye Moxuan outside. She was really worried that Song An would speak impulsively, so she could only wash the dishes while feeling restless.
After some time had passed, Han Muzi could not take it anymore and decided to eavesdrop. She placed the foamy plate aside and wanted to wash her hands to go and eavesdrop. However, her hand slipped and the plate was about to fall to the ground. She reflexively reached out to grab it.
Shatter! The loud noise from the kitchen stunned the two people sitting outside in the living room. Almost immediately, Ye Moxuan stood up and apologized to Song An before heading toward the kitchen.
Looking at the man’s back view, Song An put her hand on her cheek and shook her head helplessly. See, what’s so good about giving birth to a boy? When they grow up, their heads are only filled with thoughts about their wife. Provided with the opportunity, it’s better to have a girl.
At this moment, the phone in her pocket vibrated. Song An took it out and looked at the screen. She frowned when she saw the familiar number and without thinking, she hung up the call. Why should I answer that stupid old man’s call? If it were not for Ye Moxuan and Han Muzi’s affairs, she would not have gone to see him in her whole lifetime.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen.
Dumbfounded, Han Muzi stared at the mess on the floor and only reacted after some time. She… unexpectedly dropped all the china when she tried to save a single plate. Is this considered spoiling the ship for a halfpenny worth of tar?
Biting her lower lip, her ears started to redden. If the two in the living room found out that she had broken all the china, would they make fun of her? As she stood there in a daze, the kitchen door was pushed open and in the next second, the tall Ye Moxuan walked in. He saw the mess all over the floor and Han Muzi who was still standing there in a daze.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it. It was just that I got careless for a moment—”
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Moxuan strode over and carried her before walking out of the kitchen. They bumped into Song An, who was making her way over. “What happened?”
Han Muzi still had foam on her hands as she said in embarrassment, “My hands slipped.” After speaking, she saw that Song An was giving her a meaningful gaze and it immediately made her feel embarrassed. From Song An’s expression, it seemed like she thought that Han Muzi had broken the china on purpose. She had indeed been concerned about Song An revealing too much to Ye Moxuan, but… she really did not come up with the idea of slipping and…
“Aunty Song, please take a seat first. She’s injured, so I’ll tend to her wounds.”
Han Muzi blinked. I’m injured? When? Why do I not know that?
