Yan’s shy appearance prompted Han Muzi to tease her more, but just as she was about to do that, her cell phone rang.
Initially, the two of them exchanged confused glances but after a while, Yan returned to her senses. “Oh no! I have an appointment today to take the measurements of the client! They must be calling to remind us.”
Upon thinking of this, Yan’s expression changed. Sh immediately turned around and rushed upstairs without uttering another word
Han Muzi glanced at the time. There was still a few hours before the appointment.
It was said that the actress would come to Su City today, and it would take them about 20 minutes to reach there.
Well, she should have enough time.
Han Muzi quietly kept note of the time. Five minutes later, Yan had finished dressing up and walked downstairs. She then shoved her phone into Han Muzi’s hand and ran to the shoe cabinet to put a pair of shoes on.
“Time is running out. Book a cab for me, hurry.”
Shrugging helplessly, Han Muzi took the phone, entered the password, and booked a taxi.
“It’s done.”
Yan took the phone from her and rushed out while yelling, “Heartless woman, you know that I have a job today, yet you didn’t remind me last night and made me drink so much—”
Thud!
After the door was closed, Yan continued, a depressed look on her face, “You also made me embarrass myself in front of my Prince Charming, argh! Geez, I’m going to be late!”
After Yan left, Han Muzi went upstairs to wake Little Bean up.
He was still sleeping when she entered his room, looking especially comical with his little body hugging a large pillow.
“Little Bean, rise and shine,” Han Muzi called his name while sitting down on the edge of the bed.
“Um…” Little Bean responded lazily without moving his small body, still hugging the pillow and sleeping soundly.
Han Muzi glanced at the time. “It’s almost noon. Come on.”
Little Bean opened his eyes and looked at her sleepily.
Just a glance, and Han Muzi was startled.
They are so alike…
After Han Muzi gave birth to him and watched him grow up, she felt that her son’s facial features resembled Ye Moxuan as days passed by. She even laughed at herself after realizing the thoughts in her head.
After so long, why do I still think about him? That must be why Little Bean looks like Ye Moxuan so much.
However, when Yan had also accidentally brought up the subject, it sent chills down Han Muzi’s heart.
Is it because Ye Moxuan and Ye Linhan are brothers that Little Bean looks like Ye Moxuan? Because they share the same gene pool?
Otherwise… how else can I explain why he resembles Ye Moxuan so much?
As Little Bean’s facial features became more prominent as he grew up, he looked exactly like the carbon copy of Ye Moxuan, looking just like his cute miniature version.
For a long time, Han Muzi didn’t quite understand the reason behind this. After some time, she didn’t brood on this subject anymore. After all, it was useless to think into this.
She would only need to focus on living her life well and raising Little Bean.
“Get up,” Not at all upset, Han Muzi called him gently.
After Little Bean saw that it was Han Muzi, he reached over to rub his eyes and sat up obediently. “Uhm… Mommy, I think I’ve overslept today.”
“You finally realized this. What did you do last night? Had a hard time getting to sleep?”
Little Bean looked at her blankly. “Mommy, I couldn’t sleep last night, so Uncle Qing read me a long story.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi felt touched. Han Qing seemed to be in good spirits when she spoke to him earlier, so she didn’t expect that he—
This man is too good at hiding himself, especially in front of me, his little sister. He always neglects his body.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi patted Little Bean’s cheeks lightly. “Alright, get up now. Aunt Yan has an errand to run today, so I’ll take you out for lunch. We will also drop by the nearby supermarket to see if there is anything we need.”
As soon as he heard that they were going to the supermarket, Little Bean got up from the bed immediately. “Alright, Mommy! Just give me ten minutes!”
He got out from the bed pretty quickly.
Han Muzi went back to her room to get changed and put on some makeup.
When she was done, she looked at herself in the mirror in a daze.
Since when have I become someone who is unable to leave the house without makeup?
Sure enough, time has no mercy. No matter who we are, our appearance will change silently with the passing of time.
“You’re doing quite well in North City, so why did you move to Su City?”
In front of a French window, a man stood with his hands behind him, his slender figure casting a long shadow in front of the window. He didn’t look old wearing the dark-colored suit. On the contrary, he exuded the charm of a mature man. Although he was quite lean, his well-built muscles could be seen through his suit.
His deep eyes narrowed slightly like a fierce falcon as he overlooked the city before continuing to speak, “It’s fine to move here, but since when did you like living in high-rise buildings?”
A middle-aged woman in plain clothes walked out of the kitchen, her hair pulled up into a loose ponytail. Though she looked like a middle-aged woman at one glance, one could see many wrinkles around the corner of her eyes if one looked closely, a tell-tale sign that she was much older than her looks.
The woman put a plate of fruit on the table and ate some grapes.
“So, what are you doing in my place when you are staying in North City? Su City is a city with great landscape and outstanding people. I love it here. What’s wrong with that?”
The man did not answer her. Instead, he stood as still as a statue.
The woman glanced at his back as she brought another grape to her mouth. “Could it be that you are single and lonely, so you came to your aunt in search of a sense of warmth? If that’s the case, I can tell you clearly—Moxuan, I don’t have the kind of warmth you seek. You can see for yourself that I’m living alone.”
“Is that so?”
The man’s voice was indifferent. “Why are you still living alone? You’re so old now.”
“You rascal, is this how you talk to me? You’re so rude!” After speaking, the woman sighed. “Do you think I want to be alone? What happened to your mother has given me too much trauma. After all, I witnessed it with my own eyes. Besides, after doing some body check-ups, I found out that I’m infertile. I can never bear a child of my own so I’ve decided to spend the rest of my life as a single woman. Your mother has entrusted you to me, so I will treat you as my son.”
Hearing that, the man turned around and frowned.
“You?”
“What? Are you unhappy with the arrangement?” The woman slammed her palm on the table angrily.
She was Ye Moxuan’s aunt, Song An.
She got up and tried to pull the man’s ears, but he avoided her easily.
“Anyway, I don’t care. If I get too old to walk, you have to take care of me.”
Ye Moxuan shot her a cold glance before he took his car keys and headed out.
“Where are you going? Look at you, doing nothing all day! Why don’t you go to the supermarket downstairs to buy me something instead?”
