After more than ten minutes of driving, they finally stopped in front of a school. It was North City’s Elite Academy.
It was considered a private kindergarten; not only did it provide high-quality education, but it also offered an excellent environment and meals for its students too. The majority of the wealthy population in North City sent their children here.
The reason why Han Muzi took a fancy to this school was that it was very close to their company. Besides, she visited the place several days ago, and she thought that the environment was conducive; the teachers were also gentle and well-spoken. Since she had visited previously, they could be received even on the weekend.
Little Bean was holding onto Han Muzi’s hand on his left, and Yan on his right. He was sandwiched between two towering figures. Han Qing then walked toward Han Muzi’s side.
The teachers receiving this family were in awe of their appearance. Are they a family? They are so good-looking.
“Little Bean, greet the teachers.”
“Good day, teachers.” Little Bean was an obedient child in front of Han Muzi, and so he did whatever he was told. One of the teachers squatted down in delight when she saw how adorable and polite he was. She gazed at him and asked, “How are you, little boy? What is your name?”
Little Bean answered obediently, “How are you, beautiful teacher? My name is Han Yishu.”
Are they the Han Family? A trace of envy flashed across the teacher’s eyes. Then, she gestured her hand at him. “Why don’t I bring you around to familiarize yourself with the place? There are children living here; would you like to play with them?”
Little Bean did not answer her because he didn’t like playing with strangers.
Han Muzi hesitated and said to him softly, “Little Bean, go ahead.”
Little Bean looked up at his mommy before nodding and leaving with the teacher.
Yan blurted hastily when she saw Little Bean leaving, “I am worried about him; I’ll tag along.” After that, she swiftly followed them. Han Muzi had to suppress her laughter when she saw Yan rushing toward them. She isn’t worried about Little Bean; she just doesn’t want to be with Han Qing.
When she thought about this, Han Muzi asked, “Qing, what do you think of… Yan?”
Han Qing didn’t quite grasp her meaning, so he thought Han Muzi was asking about Yan’s character. So he just nodded. “She’s not bad.”
Not bad? Han Qing rarely gave compliments, so Han Muzi figured there was hope after all. She got closer and whispered, “Is she truly not bad? In that case… would you consider a girl like her?”
Han Qing pondered and only then did he realize what she meant. He squinted at Han Muzi who was standing right beside him. This sister of his had suffered too much in the past, especially during her time with the Shen Family. After that, the Shen Family even forced Han Muzi to marry into the Ye Family, so in any case, she had gone through a lot. Han Qing felt partly responsible for her and so he tried his best to make it up to her. He had never been concerned about his relationship status. This was because he wanted to focus on Han Muzi and her child. He honestly had no interest in relationships. Besides, he had never had any special feelings for any woman before. I think it would be fine even if I were to be single for the rest of my life. But my younger sister clearly has other things on her mind.
“What is it? What cheeky ideas do you have in your mind?” Han Qing couldn’t help but knock her head when he saw her look of anticipation.
“Ah!” Han Muzi covered her head in pain. She looked like a little girl in front of her older brother that gave her everything he could. “I’m just worried about your love life. Outsiders are claiming that you refuse to get married because you are looking after me. I will feel guilty if you were to stay single for the rest of your life.”
“So what?” Han Qing flashed her a tender smile. “What’s wrong if I, Han Qing, am protective over my younger sister? Even if others dared to spread rumors, wouldn’t it be fine as long as you don’t take it to heart?”
“Even if I were to ignore them, do you truly think that I would have a clear conscience? Honestly… forget about those outsiders. I just hope that you can be happy, Qing.”
Han Qing recalled something while they were on the topic of relationships. He frowned slightly before stating, “Speaking of this, I recall mentioning that I’d introduce you to someone. He—”
Han Muzi looked slightly nervous when she heard that. “Qing, let’s walk around the school first. Let me take you around to see the place.”
The teacher, who was standing beside them, nodded with a smile too. “That’s right; you two should take a look around.”
Han Qing felt helpless as he noticed Han Muzi trying to avoid the topic. After the incident five years ago, she has been against men in general. Even when she was abroad and had many suitors, none of them could move her. Even if she were to stay single for the rest of her life, as her older brother, I don’t mind looking after her for the rest of my days. But there’s Little bean…
“Muzi!” Yan jogged toward Han Muzi suddenly with her phone in her hands. She stopped dead in her tracks not too far away and started waving at Han Muzi, signaling her to go over instead.
Han Muzi hesitated before walking toward Yan.
Yan then pulled Han Muzi to the side sneakily and handed the phone to her. “The phone call is for you.”
“A phone call for me?” Han Muzi was stumped. Why would someone looking for me phone Yan? Just when Han Muzi took the phone, her expression turned drastically when she saw Ye Moxuan’s name across the phone screen.
“Why is…”
“I’m not sure. I saved the number previously when I signed the phone contract. You should answer the phone call.” That’s right, my phone wasn’t with me, and Xiao Su must have taken my cell phone away yesterday. That is why Ye Moxuan can only get through to Yan to speak with me.
Han Muzi couldn’t help but glance at Han Qing who was standing far away. Then, she whispered to Yan, “Please lead Qing to Little Bean. Lend me your phone for a while.”
Yan nodded. “Sure, I’ll speak to your brother.”
Only then did Han Muzi walk to the side to answer the call. Perhaps she was feeling bashful, so she walked a long way before finally answering the call. When she answered the phone, a lazy male voice spoke through the phone, “Why did it take so long for you to answer the call?”
It really is Ye Moxuan. Han Muzi suppressed her anger, and her tone became frosty. “Mr. Ye, can I help you?”
“Where are you right now? I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless. She was stumped for a moment before asking him, “What do you mean?”
“Have you forgotten?”
Han Muzi frowned deeply.
“Have you forgotten the things I told you in the office?”
Han Muzi tried recalling what he told her. Yesterday, I mentioned that I will send my staff to get his measurements. However, he requested me to do it in person. Then, he mentioned that he would contact me when he is available…
“I understand. However, Mr. Ye, it’s 9 in the morning. Are you sure you didn’t phone me by mistake?”
“What is it?” Ye Moxuan sounded as though he was drinking water because Han Muzi heard a gulp. After that, Ye Moxuan’s deep voice became husky when he added, “Are you not up yet?”
Han Muzi struggled to suppress the anger boiling in her chest before replying professionally, “Today is a weekend, and if it’s convenient for you…”
