Since Xu Yanwan said she didn’t need any help with her matter, Han Qing didn’t do anything. Even so, their families used to be friends, and even though they lost contact later on, that didn’t erase their history. The more important point here was that Xu Yanwan and Han Qing had been engaged when they were kids.
Even though Xu Yanwan didn’t mention this when they met, Han Muzi was still worried no matter how she thought about it. She was Han Qing’s sister as well as Yan’s friend. Both of them were important to her, so if this relationship were to go wrong, she would be devastated.
Thanks to that, Han Muzi felt depressed lately, to the point where she lost sleep. Ye Moxuan slept on the same bed as her, so he knew what she was thinking of. All he said was, “You don’t have to worry about this. The one who should be is your brother.”
Han Muzi shook her head in disagreement. “I’m his sister, and I’m also Yan’s friend. I can’t not worry about them. You don’t know about this, but when I went to Han Group back then, I heard her telling the receptionist that she was engaged to my brother when they were little.”
“So what?” Ye Moxuan didn’t think much about it. “Nobody cares about the promises they made when they were kids. Besides, Xu Yanwan wouldn’t talk about the engagement when she knew her family had gone downhill, let alone your brother. If she does, everyone would think that she’s trying to use your family to help her when she’s down.”
“After meeting her back then, I don’t think she would mention this, since she isn’t that kind of woman. However, if this matter does exist, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s still there even if she doesn’t mention it. Also, if the engagement was decided by our elders, it’s going to make our family look bad if we pretend not to know it just because she doesn’t mention it.”
Ye Moxuan suddenly laughed and raised Han Muzi’s chin up. “Since when did you care so much about trust and the Han Family’s reputation?”
Han Muzi rolled her eyes. “What? I’m a part of the family, so of course I have to care about their reputation. Why? Do you think I should care about the Ye Family’s reputation instead?”
“Hm? Well, of course. You’re my woman now.” He leaned forward and pecked her on the lips, his voice raspy. “You’ll be a part of my family, always. Won’t your conscience come knocking if you don’t care about my family’s reputation?” He then kissed her deeper, prying her teeth open and danced with her tongue. The man only let her go when her breathing became ragged and she glared at him. “Why? Are you blaming me for not paying attention to this matter?”
Han Muzi replied, “No. I was just thinking that it’s not good to have Qing talk about this engagement stuff. I think I should do it as his sister… Mmph.”
Before she could finish, Ye Moxuan bit her lower lip. “This is our time. If you talk about someone else’s matter, I’m going to get angry.” Even though Han Qing was her brother, Ye Moxuan felt jealous that his wife tossed and turned and lost sleep over another guy. He wouldn’t allow it as long as it was a man she thought about.
Han Muzi scrunched her nose up guiltily. She thought she had taken the wrong approach about this. There was another way to resolve this matter, so there was no need for her to dwell on this for now. Fine, I’ll sleep for now and see Han Qing tomorrow to talk about this. She then blinked and looked at her husband. “Alright, I’ll not dwell on this anymore. I’m sleepy, so let’s sleep.”
Ye Moxuan hugged her and said huskily, “Let’s sleep.”
Hey, you don’t have to hug me while you sleep, you pervert. However, she had gotten used to sleeping with him. His broad shoulders and his familiar, dependable scent made her feel safe. She mumbled for a bit and drifted to sleep.
Han Muzi went to the Han Group the next day. Han Qing was in a meeting when she arrived, but since she was his sister, the woman went to his office to wait for him. Surprisingly, the moment she came in, Han Muzi saw Yan sleeping on the sofa, arms and legs akimbo. When Yan heard someone opening the door, she looked up and met Han Muzi’s gaze.
A few moments later, Yan jumped up from the sofa and sat there, looking at Han Muzi awkwardly. She fidgeted around and said, “Um…”
Han Muzi looked at her in amusement and closed the office’s door. “Why do you look so nervous seeing me? You look like I’ve caught you doing some hanky panky.”
Yan evaded her gaze and bit her lip. “No, it’s not that. Though it’s embarrassing to have you see me looking like this in your brother’s office.”
Han Muzi chuckled. “Yeah right. You lived with me for the past five years, so I’ve seen all there is to you. Why are you worried about embarrassing yourself now?”
Yan snorted, her expression still slightly awkward. “That’s not the same. We’re in your brother’s office right now.”
“So what?” Han Muzi sat down beside her and tossed her handbag away, then she said nonchalantly. “You guys are just one step away from humping in the office. It’s going to be more embarrassing then, no?”
Huh? Yan blushed, then she looked at Han Muzi, her eyes wide, her tongue gotten by the cat. It took her some time to stammer, “Muzi, w-when did y-you become s-so…”
“What are you trying to say?” Han Muzi went over and headbutted her head. “Someone once told me that even if she had to rape my brother, she would do it because she wanted to sleep with him. Someone even sent me the message right after doing the deed with him. You started this, and now you’re accusing me of being perverted? That’s unfair.”
D*mn it. Yan had nothing to say, so she closed her eyes, embracing embarrassment as her old friend. Then, she shouted, “Yeah, I am as perverted as you say I am! I want him to hump me right on this sofa!”
Clack. At this moment, the office’s door was opened. The moment Han Qing opened the door, he heard the bold declaration made by Yan. Even though he was a silent, reserved man, Han Qing stumbled and almost fell forward after hearing that. After Yan was done shouting, she heard someone opening the door and the sound of someone stumbling.
When she looked at the direction of the sounds and met Han Qing’s gaze, everything turned silent. Then, she saw the top management team, who was standing behind Han Qing, looking stunned and in awe. The woman also saw Su Jiu smiling faintly, looking like he was watching a good show.
It was at this moment, Yan knew she messed up. Everything spun around her, and she wanted nothing more than to faint and ignore everything that was happening.
