Seeing how exhausted Yan was, Han Muzi resignedly said, “Why are you in such a hurry? If there is a client, you can just welcome them yourself.”
After listening to her, Yan’s face turned pale as she gulped before she muttered, “But the client demanded to see you specifically.”
Han Muzi blinked. “See me?”
Yan nodded vigorously as her face was in bad shape, and her breathing was uneven. Logically, she shouldn’t be looking so pale from rushing over, even if she had a weak respiratory system. Seeing her like this could only mean that something big had happened, and that client…
A spark flashed through Han Muzi’s mind as she suddenly thought of something. She then looked toward Yan with her lips trembling.
On the other hand, Yan was biting onto her lips while trying to avoid her eyesight.
Thump! Han Muzi could feel her heart thumped fiercely within her, and without hesitation, she turned over to Mr. Nan. “Mr. Nan, please send Little Bean back first and inform my brother that I have some problem to deal with at the company for the moment. So… I will take a cab back myself later.”
“Umm…” Mr. Nan looked at her helplessly after hearing her words. “But Mr. Han instructed me to—”
“It’s fine, Mr. Nan. I’m just going to have a discussion. Please assure my brother that I won’t hurt my hands.” She then turned over to his son. “Little Bean, you go back home with Mr. Nan first. I’ll come back later for you, okay?”
After seeing Yan and his mother’s horrid faces, Little Bean didn’t make any fuss and nodded obediently. “Alright, mommy. Then Mr. Nan, let’s go back home first. I will explain mommy’s situation to Uncle Qing.”
Afterward, Mr. Nan finally nodded with agreement and left with Little Bean.
Meanwhile, Han Muzi took a deep breath and looked toward Yan.
There wasn’t any blood left on Yan’s face, as if she had just been through a huge shock. She was seldom like this in the past five years.
She had only been shocked once, which was when Han Muzi was giving birth to Little Bean. They had a complication, so a lot of blood spilled out. At that time, Yan was right beside her, and she was shocked to the point where her face was pale white, and blood drained away from her lips.
Han Muzi never thought she would see her this way for the second time.
At the same time, Han Muzi had already guessed who that person was.
“Let’s go.” She held on to Yan’s hand and went the other direction. Meanwhile, Yan was dragged along by her like a wooden doll.
When they went into the elevator, Han Muzi’s face remained calm while Yan blinked and asked, “Why didn’t you… ask me?”
“What?” Han Muzi gave her a glance.
Yan felt that Han Muzi was abnormally calm. Usually, when seeing Yan like this, Han Muzi would ask her about the situation, but now, she kept quiet and maintained her cool posture. This meant…
“You already knew?” Yan asked her with a trembling voice.
Han Muzi didn’t reply as she kept her eyes lowered to the ground.
Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by Yan, who unsettlingly asked her, “He is the man that you asked me to block this morning on WeChat, right? Muzi, are you still going to meet him?”
Listening to her, Han Muzi let out a gentle smile and lifted her head to meet Yan’s eyes. “Yes, I want to meet him. Why shouldn’t I?” she asked softly with her floating eyes and smile, as if the situation wasn’t something to be worried about. Her emotions remained undisturbed as she continued, “It doesn’t matter who he is. All it matters is that he is our client.”
Yan stayed silent as she loosened her grip on Han Muzi’s hand. She then leaned on the wall weakly.
Ding—
At this moment, the elevator door opened.
Han Muzi walked out with her eyes detached from any emotions while Yan drifted off while leaning against the elevator wall. Does Muzi really not care about it anymore?
In the office.
Ye Moxuan was looking around. The office’s style and atmosphere was lively, and the desk was placed with freshly-bloomed Baby’s Breath. Even though it was his first time seeing the flower, it still felt particularly vivacious to him.
All of these then accelerated his heartbeat even further. Soon, I’m about to meet that woman. This will be the second time we meet. How will she react to me this time?
Thinking about it, Ye Moxuan’s eyes gradually darkened.
As a faint clacking sound of high heels approached, Ye Moxuan suddenly tightened his fists.
Is she here?
The door to the office wasn’t closed as Han Muzi walked toward it a step at a time.
Initially, after seeing him once that day, she thought that she would be nervous meeting him again, but now, while she was walking toward the office, she realized how calm and peaceful her heart was.
It may be the result of her self-soothing on that day, but it was also because… the man had already lost a place in her heart. That was why, when meeting him for the second time, she was peaceful at heart.
The moment she entered the office, a tall and straight figure stood before her eyes.
The man in the dark suit had his back facing her. Even though only his back view could be seen, one could still feel his vigorous elegance. The tight suit highlighted every inch of his body line, showing off a fantastic figure.
After giving him a glance, Han Muzi quickly looked away before the man turned over to her, and then she started walking steadily toward him.
As for the pale-faced Yan, she came in right after haphazardly while following Han Muzi, but then, she accidentally knocked her on the back.
“Ah!” Han Muzi stopped as Ye Moxuan turned around.
The man’s handsome smile appeared in front of her.
Han Muzi remained in her composure and turned to Yan. “Go make some coffee.”
Yan lifted her head with a stunned face and took a long time before she nodded. “Alright. I’ll go make some now.”
She walked out of the office haphazardly again, as if she was drunk.
Han Muzi felt helpless seeing her this way. This girl…
Then, she turned over to Ye Moxuan and smiled. “Please take a seat.”
Ye Moxuan was silent. He had imagined scenes of them meeting up multiple times before, but he had never thought of her reaction to be like this.
No sadness, no anger, no surprise and no happiness… Nothing. There was nothing.
Her eyes were as calm as water, and even her smile felt emotionless to others. He couldn’t see her feelings toward him.
Ye Moxuan’s eyes dimmed as he thought, Is she really this calm after seeing me? Then what does my upsurge of emotions these past few days count for? What was the point of my past agitation?
After she invited him to sit down, Han Muzi went over to the sofa and sat across it.
The office was in complete silence as the man finally walked over with his long slim legs and sat down facing straight at her. Then, his burning eyes were glued onto her.
At this moment, Yan came in with the coffee.
Compared with Han Muzi, Yan’s emotions were unstable. But now, she felt better because she finally picked herself up; or else, she wouldn’t have been able to give Ye Moxuan the coffee without her hand trembling.
“Please enjoy.” Yan then stood beside Han Muzi.
“Please show our company’s catalog to the gentleman.”
