What did he just say? His words stunned Han Muzi and it took her a short while before she reacted to it. “So… you thought that I won’t find you anymore and that it was all your hallucinations?”
Ye Moxuan’s face darkened a little. He replied to her after a pause, “Hallucination or not, it is not important anymore.” Han Muzi remained silent.
She had no idea what went on with him because he was hot and cold with her. Until today, Han Muzi still remembered what she had told him. If you can’t give me enough sense of security, stop pestering me.
After she experienced so many things, she was very sensitive. There was one positive side to this—she was able to always put herself in his shoes because of this. She thought that since he always took the initiative before, it was not impossible for her to take the lead for once.
“So… what is important to you? Is it Little Bean?” After she asked that, she continued with another question, “Is is because of Little Bean that you feel that I’m not that important any—”
Before she finished speaking, he pressed his lip to hers. He only kissed the tears on her face in the beginning, but now, he kissed her lips directly. This caught her by surprise and it was a while before she pushed him away subconsciously. “What do you mean by this? Is it fun to play hard to get?”
Ye Moxuan hugged her tightly and blew some air in her ears. “Not fun. It’s not fun at all. For the past few days, it’s been a torture for me… I know you have suffered a lot, but I haven’t completely accepted the news. I have never wanted to break up with you. Even if you don’t come to me, I would have come to you. ”
She finally felt his body warmth through his clothes as Ye Moxuan held her in a tighter embrace. Even though she was a little uncomfortable being held by him this way, it was enough to fill the emptiness in her heart. She simply closed her eyes and returned the hug. Whoever said that a hug was not able to solve the problem? If one hug could not solve the problem, two probably would.
Han Muzi admitted that she was quite annoyed these days. But after she was held so tightly by him, she felt that there was nothing else that mattered when they were together and understood each other.
Without a clue on how long the hug lasted, Ye Moxuan slowly let go of her and whispered, “Do you want to come to my place tonight?”
Han Muzi paused before asking, “What?”
“Or do we go to your place?”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing that. After she stood still for a while, she finally knew what Ye Moxuan meant. Her face blushed and it took a long time before she stuttered, “Y-Y-Your house.” It’s not quite convenient at my place!
Han Muzi still lived with Yan and Little Bean, so it would not be good if they made noises that were inappropriate for children. She still remembered the embarrassment of being interrupted by Yan the other time. At that time, if there had been a way for her to vanish into thin air, she would have done it without hesitation.
“Good.” After he received her consent, Ye Moxuan swept her off her feet.
Han Muzi exclaimed and stretched out her hand to cling onto his neck. “W-What are you doing? Let me down! I can walk on my own.”
“I’m going to bring you to the car in my arms.”
Han Muzi stopped for a while before saying, “It’s fine—it’s just a short distance away. Plus, I drove here.” After she finished speaking, she shook the car key in her hand to prove her point.
He slightly narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to peck her cheeks. “Just leave it here and drive it back tomorrow.”
She pursed her lips and had no words to refute him, allowing him to carry her to the car. Ye Moxuan fastened her seat belt and drove the car away from the company.
On the way back, Han Muzi looked at Ye Moxuan’s side-profile. “Did… you forget something? ”
Ye Moxuan stared at the dashboard and glanced sideways at her. He did not seem to understand what went on. Hence, Han Muzi had no choice but to remind him, “Didn’t you plan to pick Little Bean up?”
After hearing her reminder, Ye Moxuan stopped his motion of turning the steering wheel and frowned instead.
It seemed that he had really forgotten about Little Bean from his demeanor. Han Muzi twitched her lips into a slight smile. She originally thought that because he just recognized his son, he would take him seriously. But what’s going on? Has he forgotten about his son after I came to find him?
As the traffic light had just turned red, Ye Moxuan stopped his car and frowned. “I will turn around in a while.”
Han Muzi paused before saying, “You really forgot about it, didn’t you?”
After he heard what she had said, he pursed his thin lips and cleared his throat slightly with his fist in front of his lips.
“I can’t believe this! He is your son, yet you—”
He turned around and stared at her deeply, saying, “Well, you were the one who distracted me.”
Her jaw dropped slightly and she almost could not close her mouth. What does this have to do with me?
“I’ll turn around later.” He did not say anything after this. After all, he did not expect that he would forget about picking Little Bean up after Han Muzi’s arrival. It seems like my mind is easily occupied by her once she appears.
“You don’t have to turn around anymore.” Han Muzi looked at his handsome side-profile exasperatedly. “I’ve already asked Yan to fetch Little Bean before this. If I had to wait for you to remember him, chances are that Little Bean would have already been taken away by human traffickers…”
Ye Moxuan became silent upon hearing that. He massaged his temples to relieve the headache he was feeling, not expecting that he would forget about this. Had Han Muzi not reminded him at the last minute, he probably would have taken her back to Seabay Villa and… left Little Bean at school.
Meanwhile, when Little Bean, who followed Yan in the car, suddenly sneezed, Yan immediately turned her head. “Are you okay, Little Bean? Why did you sneeze suddenly? Have you caught a cold?” With that, she quickly hugged Little Bean. “Now that the weather is getting colder, you should wear more layers of clothes when you go out in the future.”
Little Bean blinked. “Aunt Yan, I am not cold. But my nose was a little itchy just now. Do you think that someone might be scolding me behind my back?”
“Scolding you?” Yan was curious about this. “Who would scold you? You are so cute! Are you referring to your classmates?”
“Uhm… I don’t think so…” Little Bean shook his head and changed the topic. “Aunt Yan, did Mommy really ask you to pick me up?”
“Of course. When have I ever lied to you? Or are you already used to staying with your daddy that you don’t want me to pick you up? ”
“No, it is just that I missed Mommy already.”
Yan stretched out her hand and ruffled Little Bean’s hair helplessly before saying, “Be good. Your mommy and daddy need to get closer to each other. Once their relationship is more stable, you will have both your mommy and daddy close to you. Wouldn’t that be great?”
Little Bean replied, “You are probably right.”
“In the meantime, you’d better obediently help me chase your Uncle Qing. A man must hold true to his words, so you’d better keep your promise.”
