The moment she thought about that, Yan stole a glance at Han Muzi.
She saw Han Muzi looking at her with affection.
“I am sorry you have suffered so much for me. Was he being difficult?”
Such caring eyes had caused Yan to be afraid of facing Han Muzi even more. It always felt like she did something exceptionally bad to her.
“No. Not at all. I was just frightened.”
“That’s good.” Han Muzi felt relieved.
“Actually…” Yan looked up and hesitated to speak.
Han Muzi looked confused. “Yes, what’s going on?”
“Not really.” Yan looked down again. She was not bold enough to look Han Muzi in the eye.
Forget it. Since she had already given the pills to her, she did not need to say anything anymore.
Knock knock—
Someone was knocking on the door. The two distracted women immediately tensed up and their faces simultaneously turned pale.
It was Ye Moxuan!
Han Muzi signaled at Yan for help, but Yan did not look good either; she could only give her a little nod on the head.
“Muzi?” A deep male voice came from the outside. The moment Han Muzi heard his voice, she subconsciously gripped the flat sheet that she was sitting on. She bit on her lip and refused to respond.
“I am coming in.” After the initial question and the lack of response, Ye Moxuan turned the doorknob and entered the room.
Looking at his stacked shadow entering the room sent shivers down Han Muzi’s spine.
Her body subconsciously moved toward the pillow where the bottle of pills that Yan just gave her was hidden. If he wanted to, he would be able to find it in a short time.
If he found the pills, according to his character…
Han Muzi dared not think if she could withstand another rage of his after discovering the pills another time.
She was biting her lower lip so hard that it started to bleed a little. Yan stood next to her awkwardly and babbled, “President, President Ye, I am here to pass some documents to Muzi.”
Finishing that, she quickly took out the documents from the bag and gave them to Han Muzi. “Muzi, please have a look at these documents. If you have no questions, just sign them and I will bring them back to the office.”
Ye Moxuan took a glance at Yan upon hearing those words. Within his eyes was a sarcastic grin.
It was quite a show.
Standing right in front of her was Ye Moxuan, staring at her greedily, and how would Han Muzi be able to understand what was written in the contract? But the show still had to go on. So she took the contract and pretended to read through it for a minute. Then, she took the pen from Yan and signed her name on it.
“Done.”
After keeping the contract and pen away, Yan looked at Ye Moxuan and then at Han Muzi. She then probed, “So… I am headed back to the office.”
Han Muzi knew she was not feeling comfortable being here. Even though she and Ye Moxuan were once husband and wife, she was scared of his temperament right now, much less Yan.
She then nodded her head, pointing to Yan to go back to the office.
After getting her approval, Yan quickly moved toward the exit. Han Muzi saw her move even quicker when she passed Ye Moxuan. Soon enough, she disappeared from the room.
In this large room, only both Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan remained.
Perhaps due to her own guilt, Han Muzi could not look at Ye Moxuan in the eye. After Yan left, she quickly put on her blanket and lay down.
When she lay down, she could still feel a little bump underneath the pillow. That was where she placed the pill bottle.
So she moved her head from that spot.
As the footsteps behind her approached, Ye Moxuan’s voice broke the silence.
“If you are awake, please eat something.”
Han Muzi ignored him and grouched, “I am not hungry, so I’m not eating.”
“Would you like me to carry you?”
This sentence instantly provoked Muzi. He removed her blanket and sat there, staring at Ye Moxuan grudgingly.
“Do you really have to do this to me every day?”
“How will you have enough energy if you don’t eat?”
Ye Moxuan looked at her nonchalantly and his voice was cold. “I will give you two choices: first, I will carry you, or second, you will get up by yourself.”
This was really funny. How could she pick the first one? She really hated how Ye Moxuan looked right now, but she was more worried about him finding out that she had kept the morning-after pills.
In the same nonchalant way, she replied Ye Moxuan coldly, “No need. I have legs and I can walk.”
She then removed the blanket, sat up, and got out of bed right away. What mattered urgently now was to get him out of the room. After all, this room had what she wanted to hide from him.
Seeing that Han Muzi had gone downstairs, Ye Moxuan inadvertently took a glance at the bed. He was still a little worried, so he walked over and took out the bottle that was underneath the pillow. After seeing that it was the bottle that he gave Yan earlier, he left it at where it was and followed Han Muzi downstairs.
On the dining table was a rich feast. Because of the private chef hired by Ye Moxuan, all the dishes were preplanned and nutritionally balanced.
If it was in the past, Han Muzi would have started to dig in, but now she really was not in the mood to eat. She needed to find the time to take those morning-after pills.
Han Muzi hurriedly gobbled up the food. Just as she was preparing to put the plate down to head upstairs for her pills, a hand came by and took away the one grain of rice at the corner of her lips.
“What are you rushing for?” These unfriendly words came out of Ye Moxuan.
Han Muzi nodded unhappily. “Yes, I am really starving. Now I am done, can I head upstairs? Or do I have to wait until you finish your food?”
Ye Moxuan knew for a fact what she wanted to do back upstairs. Since the pills had already been switched, it did not matter if she wanted to take them. So Ye Moxuan smiled and whispered, “No need. You can head upstairs.”
Having obtained his approval, Han Muzi immediately put down the silverware in her hands, stood up, and left for upstairs. When she was at the stairs, she wondered why he was not being difficult today. Was he not afraid that when she was back in her room, she would take the pills in secret?
No. Maybe Yan lied to him to make him feel that he did not have the morning-after pills with him so that he would not be worried about her.
As she was having these thoughts, she quickly got back to her room. Her guilt in her conscience caused her to immediately lock her door the moment she entered the room. She then walked to the bed, took out the morning-after pills that she kept underneath the pillow earlier, and poured them directly into her palm. Not even needing any water to go with, she swallowed them right away.
A pill got stuck in her throat as she was swallowing the pills, but Han Muzi did not feel good only for a split second. The morning-after pills had to be taken periodically: one tablet per 72 hours, and another one in the following 72 hours. This was how she could keep this bottle of pills for a long time.
Based on Ye Moxuan’s temperament, and not knowing how he would treat her tonight, she had to hide the pills, definitely not on the bed. The room only had this much space, so where could she hide it?
She thought about it for a moment and opened her wardrobe to find a big coat. She then placed the morning-after pills in the pocket, as she thought Ye Moxuan would never touch the pocket of the coat when he went for it.
After she did that, Han Muzi could not help but be pleased with herself. This must be her happiest moment in the past couple of days. Before this, she felt like she had always been imprisoned by Ye Moxuan.
Just like that, she quietly took the pills. Let’s see how he could get me pregnant then. When the time came, Ye Moxuan would then lower his guard, and that was when she could keep a distance from him.
