Han Muzi did not know how to respond.
“That’s too bad, then.” Ye Moxuan chuckled, then he quickly leaned in and kissed her.
His lips had already moved away when Han Muzi froze. He ambushed me again! Han Muzi covered her mouth and glared at him. After a while, she pulled down her hands and snorted as she was too lazy to argue with him again. “I have something important to tell you.”
Han Muzi then told Ye Moxuan about Yan’s plan to start a business. He did not have much of an expression on his face as he stood there drying his hair. He just nodded his head after listening to her.
“So I’ll be attending the restaurant’s grand opening that day.”
“Are you bringing me along?” Ye Moxuan turned around and looked at her with his dark eyes.
Han Muzi gulped subconsciously when he gave her that look. Initially, she did not want to since Ye Moxuan had forgotten about Yan. Moreover, Yan also wished that she would go herself, but she could only nod when he looked at her with those eyes now. “Sure, I suppose…”
I suppose…
The next day, Han Qing gave Han Muzi a call to ask her to come back for dinner. She then agreed after thinking that she had not had dinner with her family ever since she came back to China. However she started feeling suspicious as her brother had not invited her back for dinner all this while, so why would he do so suddenly? Coincidentally, Yan had called her last night to tell her about her plans to start a restaurant. Is there a link between these two cases?
Han Muzi racked her brain, and when she mentioned it to Ye Moxuan, his expression was faint. “You shouldn’t meddle too much in other people’s relationships.”
She immediately became upset after hearing this. “What do you mean by meddling? I’m just trying to know if there’s a link between these two cases. Moreover, they’re not ‘other people’. Han Qing is my elder brother, and Yan is my best friend. It’d be a good thing if they can get together.”
Ye Moxuan looked up, and his eyes fell on her face. Suddenly, those cold eyes became hot as if it was going to burn a hole on her face.
“W-Why are you looking at me like that?”
Ye Moxuan walked to her and locked her into his arms. “If your brother is interested in her, he’ll take action. Otherwise, he won’t budge even if someone pushed him from the side.”
Han Muzi replied, “You sound like you’re speaking from experience.” She cautiously grilled him while lowering her eyes. However, just as she lowered her head, her chin was grabbed by Ye Moxuan. Her head was lifted again.
“Why not? When I went on blind dates last time, wasn’t Mrs. Ye watching me from the side?”
At first, Han Muzi was a bit dazed. After thinking back for a moment, she suddenly widened her eyes as if she thought of something surprising. “Y-You… remember?”
There was a glimpse of a smile in Ye Moxuan’s eyes. “A little.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”
Tell her? The color under his eyes darkened a little. “I wanted to give you a surprise.” In reality, Ye Moxuan had not fully recovered his memories and there was still a lot that he could not remember. Moreover, some of his memories were messed up, so he was afraid that Han Muzi would keep asking him about it and that would only make her worry. She’s pregnant now and shouldn’t have to worry about these.
Han Muzi was a little touched when she heard that he wanted to surprise her. However, she also felt bad for him as she knew he was hiding from her a lot of pain during this period when he tried to recall his memories. He was well-intentioned about not wanting her to know this. As such, Han Muzi acknowledged his efforts. He acted normally all day, so Han Muzi also pretended that nothing had happened. She accompanied him to have his meals, sleep, go out, and walk back home together. It would be fine as long as he gradually recovered every day and nothing too extreme happened. However, her heart ached when thinking about it.
Han Muzi tried to suppress the pain. She reached out and pulled Ye Moxuan’s neck to touch his forehead with hers. “We’re already an old couple. What’s with the surprise?” She softly roasted him again, since she was going to deliver her second child soon.
“Old couple?” Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes a little as if he was surprised by this term. He gave a little smile after thinking about it for a while. “We’re already considered an old couple? At least wait till we have a head full of white hair.”
Wait till we have a head full of white hair? Han Muzi was stunned as she had never thought of it before. After hearing it from Ye Moxuan, a scene where both she and Ye Moxuan grew old together suddenly appeared before her. Her heart felt a little warm after thinking about it. Han Muzi rubbed his forehead lightly. “Let’s make a deal to grow old together. You shouldn’t get involved in any accidents again.”
“Yes, Mrs. Ye.”
Both of them kissed as they talked. However, Ye Moxuan managed to step on the brakes at the last minute. Despite him just coming out from the bathroom, he went back in again after separating from Han Muzi.
Han Muzi initially did not plan to bring Ye Moxuan along when Han Qing invited her for dinner since the both of them had much to catch up with. Although there was not much of an inconvenience to him being there, Han Muzi was worried that he might be left out while she was talking to Han Qing.
That was how Han Muzi thought of it initially, and she even told Ye Moxuan about it. After he heard this while they were on their way, he said directly to her, “It’s fine; you can just talk with him.”
Alas? She talked to Han Qing, and Ye Moxuan just sat beside her. Although he did not get involved in the conversation, he would occasionally grab her hand, or clasp their hands together. After a while, he would tuck the hair on her cheeks behind her ears, then tidy up her collar. A moment later, he would put his coat on her. He would have all sorts of excuses for these.
Under these scenarios, could Han Muzi still have a proper conversation with Han Qing? Of course not. Although Ye Moxuan did not join in the conversation, his presence was too obvious to ignore. At last, Han Muzi could not stand it and lowered her volume to whisper to Ye Moxuan, “What are you doing?”
Ye Moxuan’s eyes were full of laughter when he met Han Muzi’s angry gaze. “What have I done?”
“Didn’t we agree before we came that I’ll be talking to him?”
“Yes.” Ye Moxuan nodded his head. “Please go on.”
Han Muzi replied, “Do you think that you’re not distracting me just because you’re not talking?”
Upon hearing that, Ye Moxuan lifted his brows to show that he did indeed think so. Han Muzi felt he would not budge after looking at his expression and immediately got up while pulling on his sleeves. “Han Qing, I have something to talk to him about. Wait for me in the study. I have something to talk to you about as well.”
Han Qing moved his eyes to look at Ye Moxuan for a moment and nodded. “Okay.”
After he got up and left, Han Muzi pulled Ye Moxuan up and pushed his back to walk outside. “You go and take a stroll at the park to digest your food since we just had dinner.”
Ye Moxuan’s big and tall body figure hardly moved an inch when she pushed him from the back. He immediately grabbed both of her fair hands and asked, “Is there so much you want to talk to your brother about? I’m not allowed to hear those things?”
Han Muzi glared at him and replied, “I’ll be talking to him about Yan. Do you want to listen?”
