Hence, both the Yuchi and Duanmu Families sent their subordinates in search of Duanmu Xue. However, Han Muzi was oblivious to what was going on because she had something more important to attend to, and that happened to be Ye Moxuan’s aunt because she decided to come over for a visit.
Han Muzi spoke to her over the phone during lunch and she was quite shocked when Song An agreed to fly over. Initially, she thought that Song An was reluctant to come over to help because she took so long to decide. Thus, it was unexpected that she agreed in the end.
After that, Han Muzi summarized the recent events in short for Song An while informing her about the current situation. Song An remained quiet for a very long time before finally breaking the silence. “Pick me up from the airport with him.”
Han Muzi was conflicted when she heard that. “Aunty Song, he doesn’t remember who you are now. Are you telling him the truth? I—”
“I understand where you are coming from. Don’t worry because I won’t tell him the truth. However, I’m his aunt and I just want to meet him. I would like to see how he is now.”
Han Muzi was confident that Song An would never harm Yuchi Shen and she agreed to her request swiftly. It should not be a problem to get Ye Moxuan to accompany me to the airport to pick someone up. However, I’m not sure if he might recognize his aunt because Song Xin’s original name was Yuchi Xin. What if the Yuchi Family had kept him informed about this matter?
Han Muzi bit her lower lip and she began to worry about this matter. After pondering for the entire day, Han Muzi figured she worried over nothing and started to focus on work. Later, after work, I will just ask Ye Moxuan to accompany me to pick Song An up.
Time flew by and it was soon time to leave work. Miss Lin couldn’t help but approach Han Muzi as she packed her things to ask her, “Have you been leaving work with the President recently?”
Han Muzi was astonished when she heard that, but she nodded in the end.
Miss Lin flashed her a mysterious smile. “That’s great. The progress is amazing. Are you two living in as well?”
Han Muzi had no reason to hide things from Miss Lin because her attitude toward Duanmu Xue was obvious the other day. It was apparent that Miss Lin wouldn’t bow down to external forces or badmouth others. She knew about what went on between Ye Moxuan and me for such a long time, but she had never leaked anything out. I have a feeling that even if I were to inform her that I’m marrying Ye Moxuan, Miss Lin wouldn’t expose my secret behind my back.
Han Muzi cocked her head to her side when she thought of it. “We aren’t really living together,” she answered quietly.
Miss Lin hesitated before replying to her, “I understand.” It means that they are since she said that. She then clucked her tongue. “I wouldn’t have guessed this in my wildest dreams. In the beginning, when the President assumed his position, he was so proud and he avoids women as if they are the plague. I thought that he would never fall for anyone and that he would most probably end up forever alone. Who would have guessed…” That was the extent of Miss Lin’s gossip. She dropped the small talk with Han Muzi when she realized that time was ticking. Instead, she started packing her things to leave.
Han Muzi weighed her options before also packing her things to leave. She glanced toward Ye Moxuan’s office before she left and checked her phone as well. It was Song An’s message to her, stating that she would be arriving at 7pm later.
7pm… Han Muzi was deep in thought when she left the company building with her phone. She walked according to the directions from before, and soon enough, Ye Moxuan’s car stopped right beside her. Han Muzi got into the car swiftly.
After getting into the car, Han Muzi looked at Ye Moxuan while fastening her seatbelt. She was wondering how to inform him about picking someone up from the airport.
“Do you have something to say to me?” She did not expect Ye Moxuan to take the initiative to ask her. He must have guessed her thoughts when he saw her conflicted gaze.
Han Muzi was stumped for a moment, but she reacted swiftly with a nod. “I have a friend… She is arriving at the airport at 7pm. I have to pick her up, and so…” Han Muzi bit her lower lip without saying another word while she stared at Ye Moxuan in silence.
Ye Moxuan locked eyes with her and they exchanged looks for a while. She wasn’t sure if what she had said annoyed him, but she noticed that his eyes looked brighter somehow. His eyes were devoid of emotions, but they had a forceful aura to it. The temperature and atmosphere in the car steadily plunged.
After a while, Han Muzi blurted out, “Why don’t you accompany me to the airport?” After she said that, the temperature in the car was dangerously low, but it was obviously much better than before. Initially, she wanted to say that she would pick her friend up herself while waiting for Ye Moxuan’s opinion. However, she blurted everything out after just a glare from him.
“Mm-hmm,” Ye Moxuan grunted with a throaty voice.
Han Muzi checked the time on her phone. “It is slightly too early to head to the airport now, but there is not enough time to have dinner. Why don’t we… buy something convenient to snack on? Let’s have dinner together after picking her up.”
“Sure,” Ye Moxuan agreed promptly.
He agreed so easily. Han Muzi did not expect things to run so smoothly. After that, Ye Moxuan stopped by the roadside in front of a bakery. Then, she got out of the car to buy some food for them from the bakery.
Initially, it would have only taken a short while to buy some bread. Han Muzi reassured him that it would be fine for him to wait outside of the shop. However, Ye Moxuan had been anxious lately, and so he got out of the car to follow her.
Coincidentally, several people witnessed this scene, and they took some photos to send to their employer. After a while, the two of them left the bakery whereas the group of people, observing them from afar, crouched down quickly.
“Young Master is extremely vigilant. We just have to present these photos. We can’t follow them anymore.”
“Yes.”
The group of people discussed for a short while before leaving the spot. After they left, Ye Moxuan looked slowly toward the spot they just left. His dark eyes were still and it was impossible to guess his thoughts. This went on until there was a bang, in which Han Muzi closed the car door and lowered the window. “What is on your mind? Get in.”
Ye Moxuan snapped to his senses before getting into the car. The car joined the traffic again. Han Muzi checked the time while opening the bag before taking a piece of cream cake.
In all honesty, she did not like foods that were exceptionally sweet, especially cakes or breads, in the past. However, her son loved them and he would frequently make her eat it with him. Sometimes, Little Bean would even reprimand Han Muzi when she refused to eat, “Mommy, there is sugar in fruits. It’s one thing that you don’t usually eat fruits, but you are even avoiding desserts. Where would you get sugar for your body?” After that, he would shove a dessert at her.
Over time, Han Muzi’s dislike for dessert and sweet foods grew less as compared to before. On the contrary, she even took the initiative to buy them. Well, I suppose it’s better than to risk hypoglycemia since I don’t eat fruits and I rarely consume sugar.
Han Muzi then took a bite of the cream cake. Ye Moxuan’s gaze darkened when he saw her with some cream smeared across her pink lips from the reflection of the mirror.
