Han Muzi was left stunned after hearing what she said. She thought that the both of them were simply going to have a business talk, but she couldn’t imagine that Lin Qingqing had actually called him over.
She couldn’t understand her. According to Lin Qingqing’s shy face whenever she mentioned Ye Moxuan, she must have wished to meet with him alone. So why did she drag her over at this moment?
“I’m sorry, Shelly. You wouldn’t mind that I’ve called Moxuan over, right? I just remembered that he wanted you to design some clothes for him, so…”
“I don’t mind.” Han Muzi smiled. “He is now my client anyway.”
Hearing her, Lin Qingqing widened her eyes with surprise. “Really? I can’t believe he actually went to find you. I only handed him your namecard that day…” Thinking about it, Lin Qingqing lowered her eyes with shyness.
So it is true what Aunty Song said about Moxuan being cold on the outside but passionate on the inside? Although he didn’t look much impressed with me as his date, he actually paid attention to the namecard I gave him, and he even went to find Shelly himself! Does this mean he cares for me? Oh my god! How romantic! Lin Qingqing tried to hold on to her emotions.
Han Muzi—who had been sitting beside her the whole time—saw her bashful posture, and, for some reason, felt an emotion that she couldn’t explain. Why does it feel like I’m here as the third wheel?
The thought of being the third wheel to Ye Moxuan and Lin Qingqing immediately sent goosebumps all over Han Muzi’s body, but she quickly suppressed her feelings and stood still, emotionless. Her heart should be as peaceful as still water.
No matter who Ye Moxuan was with or what happened to him, she should turn a blind eye to it. After that incident five years ago, it would be insulting to her if she revealed any feelings of sadness and caring in front of him.
While thinking about it, Han Muzi’s expression turned even colder. Her skin was already fair, paired up with her delicate frame, makeup, and chilling looks, she was truly as cold and pure as snow.
While Lin Qingqing was bashing, she suddenly noticed Han Muzi’s face. For the moment, she finally realized that the woman beside her was a gorgeous one, and not the normal type of gorgeous; there was a sense of coldness oozing from her beauty, especially those pairs of eyes, which were like a bottomless ocean, sucking everything in its sight.
All of a sudden, Lin Qingqing became cautious. “Shelly, do you have a boyfriend?”
It wasn’t because she liked to gossip, but she had abruptly taken notice of Han Muzi’s beauty, so she became wary of her.
Meanwhile, Han Muzi turned to her side and saw the cautious look beneath her eyes. She immediately figured out the source of her wariness, so she smiled softly and uttered, “I have a kid.”
Just then, Lin Qingqing’s eyes widened as she covered her own mouth. “Oh, my god! You’re married? That’s unexpected. But, Shelly, you’re so young, and you actually have a kid already. I’m suddenly a bit envious of you, as I’m also reaching an age suitable for marriage.”
Han Muzi could only smile in response to her surprise.
About ten minutes later, another figure came into the restaurant.
When Ye Moxuan came in the door, everyone’s attention was drawn toward him. A handsome man always was the focal point no matter where he went, never mind Ye Moxuan, who was the pinnacle of a refined man.
After he came in, he used his hawk-like eyes to scan through the crowd, then it firmly locked onto that figure he had been dreaming about all this time.
She really came.
Ye Moxuan spread his slim legs and walked toward them.
“Moxuan, you’re here.” Han Muzi almost fell asleep while waiting, but Lin Qingqing’s sudden calling woke her up instantly. He is here?
She took a deep breath and readjusted her current posture. She came here today for work, so she didn’t plan to stay here for too long. As Ye Moxuan sat down in front of them while locking his eyes on her, Han Muzi right away lowered her head and opened the zip to her bag before taking out the documents inside.
“I’m happy to share with you two my designs today. Please tell me if you have any suggestions.” She took on her formal business demeanor.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingqing was startled. “Shelly, it’s now lunchtime. Why don’t we eat first and discuss this later on?”
Han Muzi’s face was detached from any emotion, but she still let out a faint smile and nodded. “Alright.”
She then kept away the documents, and the three of them ordered their meals.
Han Muzi wasn’t hungry, so she only ordered a glass of juice.
Lin Qingqing, on the other hand, didn’t want to lose to her in front of her dream man, so she also followed Han Muzi and only ordered a glass of juice.
At the end, Ye Moxuan was the only one who ordered something to eat.
Even while eating, his actions were so graceful that his gestures were oozing with natural nobility.
The combination of both his handsome looks and gesture caused Lin Qingqing to gaze at him intently. She had really chosen a perfect man.
After their meal, Han Muzi quickly took her documents out again. “May the two of you—”
“Miss Shelly, you really are passionate about your work,” Ye Moxuan snapped at her.
Han Muzi stopped her movement and lowered her eyes.
Lin Qingqing followed up with a smile. “Yes. Shelly is very focused with her work. Moxuan, have you seen her work before? It’s honestly good.”
“Thank you for your praise.” Han Muzi politely smiled at her.
During this meal, Lin Qingqing was the only one having a good time. However, Han Muzi had already jotted down the points she wanted to tell her, so she felt relieved afterward. There was no way she was going to entertain this kind of a ‘meal’ ever again.
She… really didn’t want to eat on the same table with Ye Moxuan once more.
“Since my work is done, I’ll leave now.” Finishing her words, she smiled and stood up to leave.
Suddenly, the man’s cold voice came to her ear from the back. “Shelly the designer, it seems like you’re a bit impolite. Am I not one of your clients? Don’t you think you should serve me too?”
The sudden change in the temperature of the surrounding shocked Lin Qingqing as she looked at Ye Moxuan. “Moxuan, what’s the problem?”
He ignored her as his eyes were locked onto Han Muzi’s slim back.
After a while, she turned aside and looked at him sideways. “I’m sorry, Mr. Ye. My work for today is to come and meet up with Miss Lin. You didn’t make an appointment with me today.”
“I see.” He calmly raised his eyebrows and tapped on the table. “Then I’ll make an appointment right now.”
“I’m sorry, but my appointments for today are full. Now, I’m on my way to my next client. Mr. Ye, please choose another time.” Han Muzi was still polite toward him as there weren’t any emotions in her voice.
Lin Qingqing was left stunned. She couldn’t believe Han Muzi rejected him.
From the conversation between the two of them, she could feel that something was brewing up, but Han Muzi’s face showed that she was a polite person. Could it be my imagination?
After Han Muzi left the restaurant, she went to the carpark to get the car.
She didn’t lie to him. She really had other things to be busy with right now, but it had nothing to do with the company’s clients; it was to help Little Bean search for a school.
When she reached her car, a dark figure suddenly came toward her.
