Han Muzi only realized she got a cut when Ye Moxuan brought her to the room and washed her hands at the sink. She had accidentally cut herself when she was picking up the pieces. When it happened, she was stunned for a moment before standing up. No matter how she thought about it, she still could not understand how things turned out like this.
Han Muzi was looking at her wound. “The wound is so small. How did you realize it?”
Ye Moxuan was speechless for a moment. He pursed his thin lips in a displeased curve, then put her injured area into his mouth before sucking gently.
“You!” Han Muzi was anxious and wanted to withdraw her hand as her face reddened. However, Ye Moxuan was too strong and kept holding onto her hand. He only let go of her after a while and said coldly, “Don’t do all these in the future. Call the nanny back.”
Han Muzi curled her lips. “This was just an accident. I’ve been doing fine all this while. It’s just that…” She was hesitant for a moment and was still curious about what Song An told Ye Moxuan in the living room just now. She hid her hand behind her and asked suddenly, “What did my aunt talk to you about just now?”
Ye Moxuan looked at her and did not answer.
His reaction made Han Muzi anxious, so she grabbed onto his sleeves. “Say something.”
“What’s the rush?” he spoke faintly; his voice was low and pleasant. He was hiding a smile in his dark eyes. “Is this the accident you mentioned?”
“No!” Han Muzi shook her head after a moment of silence.
“Relax.” Sensing that her aura seemed to have dropped, Ye Moxuan reached out to hold her hands and nestled her fair palms in his hands. “I’ll deal with my grandfather. Worse comes to worst, we can still run away from here together.”
Han Muzi skipped a breath as she widened her eyes after hearing the last sentence. “You’re serious? If your grandfather disagrees, you… will go back to my home country with me?”
“That’s my only choice if things get to that point.” His hands moved to her cheeks as he leaned over and whispered, “I’ll rely on you to support me when that time comes.”
Without thinking much, Han Muzi grabbed onto his hand and nodded. “So be it!” It was without the slightest hesitation. The agreement he passed to her brother before the wedding was about passing all of his fortunes to her. To him, she was more precious than anything else. To her, he was the most precious as well. Deep down, Han Muzi did not mind supporting him since she would be holding onto his fortune.
He was stunned after seeing her being serious. He looked at her for a moment and suddenly smiled. “Why are you so foolish?”
“What?”
“Wouldn’t a woman be scared off after hearing this?”
Han Muzi blinked. “Why would they be scared off?”
“You don’t mind a kept man?”
A kept man? Han Muzi rubbed her nose. “Of course, I mind a kept man.” But before Ye Moxuan continued, she said, “But if the person is you, I don’t mind!”
Ye Moxuan was completely stunned. The feelings of this woman were clean and direct without any impurities. It seemed that no matter what he became, she would not detest him. Ye Moxuan could not help but reach out and pull her into his arms after thinking about it. He suddenly thought of their first encounter.
At that time, she had rushed over with a look of excitement and her eyes were hot and bright when she saw him. It was as if she had found a lost loved one. After that, a man went to her and told her that she had mistaken the person. She cried and denied it. Then, she was taken away. Now that she’s treating me so well, is it because she recognizes me as someone else again? Is she trying to make me a substitute? Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan’s black eyes rolled turbulently, and his arms around her tightened a bit.
Han Muzi only felt that his hug was getting tighter and tighter, and she was a little out of breath. Her hands subconsciously blocked the space in between them, creating a little space. Although the hug was very warm, she was worried it might hurt the baby.
However, this action made Ye Moxuan frown as he pulled back. “What’s wrong?”
Han Muzi came back to her senses and smiled. “Nothing.”
He felt that he was thinking too much after realizing her eyes were full of him. She even called her aunt here, so how could she take him as a substitute?
“Nothing.” He hugged her in his arms again. This time, he was gentler.
Ye Moxuan left after lunch. Before he left, he contacted the nanny and asked her to come back again. Han Muzi wanted to say something, but she fell silent under his gloomy eyes. The nanny came soon after that. She went to the kitchen straight after she greeted Han Muzi and Song An.
Han Muzi was a little helpless. Song An could not help teasing her when she saw her like this. “If you hadn’t dropped the plate, then he wouldn’t have called the nanny back.”
After hearing this, Han Muzi felt a slight awkwardness. “Aunty, you don’t think I dropped the plates on purpose, right?”
Song An raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Didn’t you?”
“No!”
Song An gave a small smile, clearly not believing her.
“Aunty, I really didn’t!” Han Muzi opened her mouth, trying to explain herself. However, after looking at Song An’s expression, she felt that she should remain silent and conserve her energy. No matter what she said, Song An would assume she had broken the china intentionally. There was not much to talk about between the two women. A while later, Song An wanted to leave after getting bored.
Han Muzi sent her to the gate, but before the gate was opened, they crossed eyes with Yu Bo who was about to press on the doorbell. Yu Bo’s finger was at the doorbell when the door was opened, and the three of them met each other’s eyes.
Both parties were stunned. After a moment, Yu Bo put down his hands and rubbed them. He nodded at them with an awkward smile. Before he started talking, Song An crossed both her arms over her chest and looked at him coldly.
“Mr. Yu, I didn’t even pick up his call. Do you think I’ll visit him?” Song An did not even bother to be polite as she knew Yu Bo’s purpose in coming here, so she simply spoke her mind.
Yu Bo had an awkward expression on his face. He took a look at Han Muzi who was at the side and rubbed his nose slowly. “Old Master misses you very much, Miss An. The old master has been awaiting your return for so many years. Don’t you want to catch up with him since you’re back after so long?”
Song An huffed coldly after hearing this. “He has been waiting for my return? I think he wanted me dead, right? So that I won’t come back to embarrass him? As for catching up, I don’t think it’s necessary. I have nothing to talk about with that old man, who has been stubborn all his life.”
Han Muzi was listening to their conversation quietly from the side. Song An and Song Xin had already left the Yuchi family and even changed their surname. Needless to say, it was obvious that Song An’s relationship with Yuchi Jin was very bad, but Han Muzi did not expect it to be this severe.
