Someone was leading the way, but he stopped after a short distance and said, “Miss Shelly, Young Master Ye told me that this is as far as I should bring you.”
Han Muzi stared at the route ahead and nodded simply. “Sure.”
After the person left, Han Muzi’s gaze darkened immediately. Is he doing this on purpose? He instructed his subordinate to leave after leading me here. Isn’t he trying to make me recall this journey? I stayed here for a while in the past. Even though it wasn’t for too long a time, this is still where I used to live and spend my days.
Han Muzi clenched her fists tightly when she thought of this. She couldn’t help but grit her teeth in frustration. Ye Moxuan is doing this on purpose!! She inhaled deeply and tried her best to calm down. After that, she continued to march forward.
In that instant, Ye Moxuan was looking at Han Muzi who was making her way forward. He gazed at her unblinkingly while swirling the red wine in his glass. His lips gradually curled into a smile. It seems like this woman remembers everything clearly.
Soon, Han Muzi arrived at the door, and she knocked on it.
A deep male voice rang from within. “Come in.”
Han Muzi’s eyes were dull and calm when she pushed the door open to enter the room. She immediately saw the man who was sitting on the couch sipping his wine. Perhaps it was because it was a holiday, for Ye Moxuan was wearing a thin shirt with only a few buttons fastened, and a pair of simple black trousers.
The sun shone across the sea and through the windows, lighting the house up. The early morning sun was just right, giving the house a sense of coziness.
Han Muzi’s eyes gleamed in awe when she saw him. It was undeniable that Ye Moxuan’s looks and temperament were almost flawless. She collected herself quickly before opening her bag. “Mr. Ye—”
“Have you had your breakfast?” Ye Moxuan cut her off. He then glanced at the table in front of him. “Why don’t you have something to eat?”
Is he joking? I’m not here for breakfast. Han Muzi flashed him a faint smile and opened her bag. She took out the measuring tape she brought around with her. “Mr. Ye, I have other matters to attend to after this. Hence, we should sort this out as soon as possible.”
She was hoping that Ye Moxuan would stand up, but he didn’t move an inch. “Mr. Ye?” Han Muzi called him again while frowning slightly.
Ye Moxuan smiled at her. “Sort this out as soon as possible, you say? Miss Shelly, are you in a rush to go on a date?”
“No…”
“In that case, have a seat and accompany me for breakfast.”
Han Muzi repeated herself, “Mr. Ye.”
“What is it?” Ye Moxuan’s seductive eyes settled on her face. “Don’t you even have the time to have breakfast with me? Perhaps I can accompany you to whatever you have to attend to?”
Is he asking me to let him tag along to meet Little Bean at school? Over my dead body. In the end, Han Muzi had no choice but to concede. She kept her measuring tape in her bag and sat opposite Ye Moxuan.
The breakfast was a feast as if he already knew she would be dropping by.
However, Han Muzi already had breakfast at home. Nevertheless, she knew that Ye Moxuan would stop at nothing to accomplish his goals. Hence, she didn’t bother arguing with him; instead, she picked up a sandwich to nibble on.
She was hoping that once she was done with breakfast, she’d be able to sort things out as soon as possible and head home. She had very limited time to accompany Little Bean to begin with, and with Ye Moxuan added to the mix, she felt as if she was being robbed of those precious moments with her son.
Han Muzi was lost in her thoughts while she nibbled her sandwich. On the other end of the table, Ye Moxuan’s gaze was glued to Han Muzi’s face, staring straight at her. She has changed a lot; in fact, she has changed too much. She is now calmer than before. She is steady, elegant, and beautiful. It’s like she has been reborn.
He was no doubt in awe of the current Han Muzi, but it was a problem for him as well.
Han Muzi was thinking about some matters when she suddenly realized an unsettling gaze upon her. She hesitated before looking up and looked right into Ye Moxuan’s eyes.
Ye Moxuan was not embarrassed at all when their eyes met. Instead, he stared even more blatantly at her. His gaze was explicit, and it felt scorching.
Han Muzi’s heart skipped a beat, and she lost her appetite straight away. After that, she placed her half-eaten sandwich down before quietly asking him, “I am full, Mr. Ye. Can we please start now?”
“We can start anytime.” Ye Moxuan looked rather nonchalant. However, he remained seated lazily.
Does he want me to go over to him? Han Muzi stood up with a grimace before taking her measuring tape out again. I’ll go to him if that’s what it takes. And, I will leave right away once I get his measurements. She walked toward him and hesitantly requested, “Mr. Ye, can you please stand up for a while?”
“Stand up?” Ye Moxuan cocked a brow at her.
Han Muzi smiled faintly. “A minute will do.” After saying that, she waited patiently for him.
The next thing she knew, Ye Moxuan placed his glass down and stood up. Initially, there was a safe distance between Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan. But somehow, as if he did it on purpose, when he stood up, he moved toward her quite a bit, and they were now inches apart.
Ye Moxuan, who was tall and well-built, was now standing right in front of Han Muzi. His masculine scent overwhelmed her immediately, and she was trapped in a musky haze. Even after so many years… his scent still frightened her slightly.
Her pupils constricted immediately, and just when she was about to take several steps backward to maintain a safe distance from him, a hand held her waist firmly. She then looked up in shock. “What are you doing?”
Ye Moxuan’s eyes were as deep as the ocean, and she felt herself being sucked into them when he gazed at her. His voice was deep and it sounded alluring and melodious, like a cello. “How are you going to take my measurements if you stand so far away?” When he said that, Ye Moxuan was leaning forward and whispering right next to her ear.
Han Muzi wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but she somehow felt as if Ye Moxuan was blowing against her ear on purpose. This felt rather stimulating for her, and soon, she felt her heart racing helplessly. But on the other hand, she felt a heavy sense of humiliation. He is a married man, but he is treating me in such a flippant and casual manner.
As such, Han Muzi shut her eyes before warning him in a cold voice, “Let go of me.” Her aura became icy cold, and before Ye Moxuan realized what was happening, Han Muzi already tied the measuring tape around his arm. Then, she moved to the side straight away. There was now a safe distance between the two of them.
Han Muzi started taking his measurements with a cold and detached expression. To be honest, such an errand could have been done by someone else but Han Muzi knew that Ye Moxuan was targeting her. Even if she were to instruct one of her designers to carry out this task, they might be humiliated worse than her. She accepted the order, so she had to bear the consequences.
“Do you hate me?”
