As Ye Moxuan said those words, the emotion in his gaze had changed. It seemed to be filled with craze and was glued onto her face. It then fell on to her lips. He couldn’t help but lower his head.
Han Muzi felt humiliated. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she said, “Mr. Ye, haven’t I mentioned earlier?”
Ye Moxuan’s action was interrupted. His eyes were filled with bewilderment. “Huh?” His pupils shrunk suddenly as his face changed.
Han Muzi withdrew her leg and backed a few steps away.
“If this happens again, it won’t be that simple.” Han Muzi swept her hands, crossing her arms as she looked at Ye Moxuan who had just received a kick in the nuts. Blue veins were protruding on his head from the pain. “I assume you understand now?”
Ye Moxuan’s face went dark and a sliver of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Damn it, this woman is vicious! How dare she?! The acute pain from the area sucked all his strength away. He looked up at the woman who was standing a few steps away. She was standing there laughing at him and seemed delighted that he was embarrassed.
“Mr. Ye, you look uncomfortable. I guess we won’t be able to discuss work today. Shall I come back another day?” With that, Han Muzi took a deep breath and looked around.
“What a pity! I thought I could visit North City’s Ye Group’s office today, but it seems that I won’t have the chance. I’ll take my leave then.” As soon as she said that, Han Muzi smiled at Ye Moxuan, then turned around and left.
She stood before the elevator and pressed the button. As she watched the elevator climbing up, she was relieved that she could finally leave this place. Just then, she heard footsteps from her back. Just as she was about to turn around to check if it was Ye Moxuan, she was lifted by the latter and placed on his shoulder.
“Ahh!” Although Han Muzi had been acting calm, she screamed as she was still shocked by this action.
When she got back to her senses, she remembered that she was wearing a short wrap skirt and now that she was being carried on his shoulders, she must’ve been exposed! As she thought about this, her face changed dramatically as she bellowed, “Put me down! Ye Moxuan, put me down!” Did I underestimate him? I thought he would be in pain for a long time. Little did I expect… he would still have the strength to carry me up and walk so quickly.
Bang! Ye Moxuan kicked open the office door and carried Han Muzi in.
Xiao Su was working next door and quickly rushed out when he heard the noise as he thought something happened. However, he was a little too late as the door was already shut. Just as he hurried forward to ask what happened, he could hear a woman’s voice coming from the inside.
“Put me down. Ye Moxuan, what are you trying to do?”
Damn! Xiao Su was confused. What did… I just hear? Ye Moxuan, who had been single for five years, actually got himself a woman? And… he even brought the woman into his office? This… feels like a dream. Xiao Su rubbed his eyes and stared at the closed door of the office. Was I hallucinating? The noise from the office pulled Xiao Su back to his senses. No, I ain’t dreaming. Ye Moxuan actually brought a woman into his office.
Xiao Su was immediately curious. Is this the woman that Ye Moxuan added on WeChat? He thought about it as he returned to his workplace.
In the office.
“Put me down—ahhh!” Han Muzi was put down, but she was pushed down onto the soft sofa. Before she could react, Ye Moxuan’s tall figure pressed onto her and limited the motion of her arms and legs.
“What do you want?” At this moment, Han Muzi’s face had turned completely dark, and she could no longer look at him calmly.
Ye Moxuan’s dark pupils stared at her. “You kicked me in my balls. How brutal was that!” he snapped, his eyes burning with rage.
Han Muzi was startled for a while, then she sneered. “If you don’t let me go, I don’t mind giving you another kick and to make sure you can’t have kids anymore.”
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan’s eyes darkened. “You hate me that much?”
“Mr. Ye!” Han Muzi interrupted him with a harsh tone. “Let’s be clear on one thing! You are my client now, and even if there was something between us five years ago, it’s all in the past. For me, it’s nothing more than just a memory. Therefore, please stop harassing me. If you were to do something indecent to me, it’s only right for me to defend myself. Don’t accuse me of anything else!”
“Just self-defense?” Ye Moxuan’s dark pupils stared at her as his face lowered.
Han Muzi was running out of breath. “If you continue, I won’t have a choice but to break our contract.”
Ye Moxuan’s movements froze. He became motionless, but he remained on top of her.
The office was so quiet that all they could hear was their breathing and their throbbing heartbeats as a result of the struggle. Although it was quiet, the calm in the room could not return.
After a while, Han Muzi spoke in an exasperated tone.
“Our company is new. If the North City’ Ye Group decides to attack our company, we won’t be able to go against you. I’m but a lowly designer. If you have a prejudice against me, Mr. Ye, I can arrange other designers for you to choose. Please… have some mercy and don’t keep pushing me.” Her eyes were filled with restrained humiliation.
Ye Moxuan’s heart felt as if a hammer had hit it. To her… Everything I’ve done is just a form of humiliation? Is that why she has that look in her eyes? For some reason, he felt guilty. All I want is to approach her, yet I’m unknowingly hurting her?
“Mr. Ye, can you get up now?”
He did not answer, but he didn’t reject her as well. Han Muzi stretched her arms out carefully to try and push him away.
It was better if she didn’t move. As she pushed him, he reached out and hugged her, burying his face in her neck.
“Erm…” Han Muzi froze when she felt his warm breath on her neck. What… is he doing?
“Don’t move,” Ye Moxuan whispered. His thin lips felt like they brushed across her neck. “Let me hug you for awhile. I won’t trouble you any further.”
Han Muzi was speechless. He’s pushing his luck!
She then lifted her leg again!
