“You don’t have to thank me.” Han Qing patted Han Muzi’s head and gently caressed her hair before he helplessly commented, “It took me a lot of effort to search for you, my younger sister. I don’t mind braving the storm for your sake.”
Su Jiu, who sat in the front passenger seat, thought to herself, Sob, that’s so moving. I feel the tears in my eyes. I also want an older brother who treats me well too. Unfortunately, I don’t have such a kind and generous older brother. On the contrary, I only have a gambler for a younger brother. Sigh, I shouldn’t compare myself to others, otherwise I might just die of anger.
Su Jiu was curious. “Miss Muzi, I heard you saying that you had an idea just now.” Did she really figure a way out after a nap?
Han Muzi nodded. “Since he works in this company, I would have to figure out a way to join the company.” I suppose he wouldn’t treat me like a stranger if I showed up in front of him as an employee of the company. She smiled at this thought and couldn’t help but feel pleased with her ingenuity.
“You planned to join this company?” Su Jiu was in shock, but she collected herself. “Right, you are more than qualified to do so. Why have I not thought of that? Although the Yuchi Family is involved in a wide variety of businesses, fashion design has always been their main industry. Furthermore, it’s your forte, Miss Muzi.”
Han Muzi nodded with a slight smile. Lady Luck is on my side this time.
“Since you’ve decided on that, it might be a very long journey for you. Would you intend to rent a place here? What are your plans?” Han Qing thought to himself, I had considered purchasing a house here, but Muzi had always been adamant on being independent even when we were back home in China. That’s why she bought her own apartment. It’s best that I do not decide on her behalf.
“Yes, there’s no need to purchase an apartment since I would rent one. I browsed online last night and will view it before confirming today.”
“Sure.” Han Qing nodded. “Since you had everything planned out, Su Jiu and I shall book our flight tickets home.”
Su Jiu nodded in agreement, but froze in shock after a moment. “Isn’t that rather soon? President Han, shouldn’t we stay a couple more days to accompany Miss Muzi?”
Accompany? Judging from Han Muzi’s current situation, Han Qing felt that it was completely unnecessary for Su Jiu and him to be around. She has a goal now and knows very well what to do next. In fact, she will take good care of herself. What is there to worry about? What I need to worry about now are the issues in China.
Before Han Qing said anything else, Han Muzi broke the silence. “Definitely, you two should book your return flights home as soon as possible.”
“Alright. In that case, we shall book our flights now. Miss Muzi, are you sure that you are fine alone here? Why don’t we hire someone to help you here? Maybe Yan would be able to fly over to stay with you?”
Han Muzi shook her head. “No, I can manage alone.” I’m not a child anymore. Why can’t I manage by myself? Besides, my English is fine and it wouldn’t be a problem to live alone abroad.
“I’m counting on you both to look after the company and Little Bean.”
In the afternoon, Su Jiu and Han Qing made their way to the airport with Han Muzi walking them out of the hotel. After she watched them enter the cab, she flagged down another cab and made her way to the apartment that she scheduled online for a viewing. She had scheduled the appointment late last night and the apartment was located nearby the Yuchi Group Building.
The apartment was fully furnished, but she needed to prepare her toiletries and daily necessities. Hence, after she cleaned up, she went straight to the supermarket and purchased her daily necessities. Once she had completed her grocery shopping, she went home to tidy the place.
Han Muzi was so exhausted that she could barely stand up by the time she was done cleaning the apartment and sat at the table to rest for a while. At that point, she was already two months pregnant. Her baby bump might not look obvious, but without her clothes on, it was impossible to miss the bump.
After Han Muzi rested for a while, she thought of something else. She immediately researched about the Yuchi Family’s company in this city. Usually, such large companies would be actively hiring throughout the year and it should be easy for me to join the company. True enough, after browsing their official website, Han Muzi found a page to submit her resume.
It had been a very long time since she last filled out a resume and it felt unfamiliar to her. However, she had some experience, which was why she could familiarize herself with the hiring process soon enough and closed the webpage after she submitted her resume. It’s fine if he doesn’t recognize me now. I will have the chance to approach him once I join the company. However…
Han Muzi was reminded of a problem. What should I do if Ye Moxuan thinks that I’m joining the company to harass him when he sees me there? After all, I acted like a deranged woman and clung to his arm while begging him to return home with me. Come to think of it, if a stranger were to treat me like that, I’d definitely have a terrible impression of him.
Suddenly, Han Muzi regretted her actions from that day. I would not have been in such an embarrassing situation if I restrained myself in a better manner and clarified the situation before prancing on him. How would I explain myself if he thinks that I’m pestering him?
Han Muzi facepalmed while she sighed in distress. Forget it. No matter what the circumstances are, I will deal with it.
Han Qing and Su Jiu had soon arrived in China. Hence, Yan immediately phoned Han Muzi when she learned that she temporarily stayed abroad. “Muzi, Secretary Su updated me about your situation. Are you sure you want to stay there alone? Why don’t I accompany you? You are pregnant and living alone can be difficult.”
Han Muzi felt warmth spread across her chest at Yan’s proposal, but nevertheless, she shook her head. “No, it’s okay. I am an adult after all. I can take care of myself. Besides, I’m not heavily pregnant yet, so it’s not a burden to me.”
“I’m still extremely worried about you since I’ve always kept you company all these years. How can I possibly feel okay that you are living all alone now? No way, I will—”
“Yan.” Han Muzi sighed after calling her name. “Have you ever considered the fact that you are single handedly supporting the company right now? Who will look after the company if you were to fly over?”
Yan protested, “But I—”
“I will phone you if I really can’t handle things alone, alright?” Yan was still reluctant, so Han Muzi reassured her before Yan finally agreed to her request grudgingly.
“Fine, I won’t fly over since you have made up your mind. However, you have to take good care of yourself. I’ve no clue about the weather there, but you need to wear more clothes when it gets cold. After all, it has been extremely cold in China, what with Chinese New Year around the corner.”
Han Muzi thought, Chinese New Year? I had initially thought our family of three would finally celebrate Chinese New Year together this year. Who would have guessed that not only are we not together for the celebration, but we are even scattered so far apart.
