She hasn’t eaten all day? Ye Moxuan frowned as he peered at the unconscious woman. No wonder she has such a serious stomach ache. Looks like she doesn’t care for her body at all!
Yan realized she had let something slip when she was done talking, so she quickly kept her mouth shut and asked, “Mr. Ye, can you please notify me which hospital you’re at? I should go take a look.”
“No can do.” With those few words, Ye Moxuan ended the call.
Yan was left listening to the beeping sound from the phone. Damn! Ye Moxuan, you b*stard! Do you think you can do whatever you want as a client? You son of a b*tch! No wonder Muzi was unwilling to mind him. This man is too unreasonable! But then again… Yan gave it a thought with her lips closed. Even though Ye Moxuan is annoying, it is clear from our talk just now that he knew that Muzi lost consciousness and he doesn’t seem too happy about it. He must have been worried about her, right? He also didn’t deny that he is in the hospital. So does that mean he is in the hospital now?
Eventually, Yan sent a text over to him as she was still concerned. ‘Mr. Ye, may I ask whether Muzi is now under medical care?’ That was all she wanted to know.
Ding! Ye Moxuan replied to her in a flash; only one word appeared in his text. ‘Yes.’
Although the text was emotionless, Yan felt a huge relief after reading it. She then sent another text over to him. ‘Mr. Ye, I’ll leave Muzi in your hands for today then. Please keep her safe. If you ever need my help, feel free to call me.’
Ye Moxuan initially intended to ignore Yan, but after remembering what the doctor just said, he relayed the doctor’s words to her. Yan understood right away and went to prepare to come over. He also told her the name of the hospital for convenience’s sake.
When Yan reached the hospital, it was already midnight. The hospital was quiet and the medical equipment around was the only source of sound. Yan knocked on the door of the ward and went in. The equipment in the room was quiet and it was only Ye Moxuan and Han Muzi in there.
As Yan carried a thermos flask into the room, she made eye contact with Ye Moxuan’s cold gaze. In that instant, she could feel a chill roll down her spine. The expressions in this man’s eyes are really scary! She placed the thermos flask on the table and whispered, “Has she woken up yet?”
“Yes.” The sound came out from the deep of Ye Moxuan’s throat, but nothing followed it after. He sat beside the bed staring at the unconscious Han Muzi while Yan sneakily went over to take a peek at her.
Seeing her pale face, Yan knew that she was in bad shape. “How is she? Will she be fine?”
“She’s fine.” Ye Moxuan’s cold glance landed on her face, then he turned over to the thermos flask beside him and uttered, “It’s late. You should go home now.”
Yan’s mouth twitched as she replied stubbornly, “I’m here already, so I’ll stay and take care of her now. Mr. Ye… it’s sort of inconvenient for a man and a woman to be in the same room alone. Why don’t you go back first?”
Ye Moxuan didn’t answer her, but one could feel the atmosphere inside the room had changed the instant she uttered those words. Yan was so shocked that she had a big gulp. While she was hesitant about what to say next, a noise came from the door. She turned over and saw Xiao Su standing by the door.
As both of them stared at each other, Yan suddenly felt awkward. Why is Xiao Su here?
“Send her back,” Ye Moxuan coldly ordered without batting an eye.
“Yes, sir.” Xiao Su quickly nodded and turned to Yan. “Let’s go. It’s not safe this late in the night. I’ll send you back.”
Yan remained silent. Damn! I bet he planned all these after he told me the hospital’s address. He never wanted me to be here in the first place. He wanted Muzi all to himself!
After thinking about it, Yan took a deep breath and walked toward Ye Moxuan’s back. “Mr. Ye, although Muzi and you had crossed paths five years ago, the past is the past. Time flies and people change. I can choose to leave here now, but I also hope that you can respect others as well. Anyway, I’m still grateful to you for saving Muzi today. Please take good care of her. I’ll leave now.” As soon as she finished, Yan turned and went out of the ward without even noting Ye Moxuan’s reaction.
Xiao Su stood beside the door while listening clearly to every word she said. He was surprised as he realized that Yan’s view was the same as his. He too didn’t want for Han Muzi to be close to Ye Moxuan. Both of them hoped that the person important to them wouldn’t be hurt. But in the end, between Ye Moxuan and Han Muzi, who was close to whom and who was the one hurting the other?
“After disappearing for five years, why come back all of a sudden? If you wanted to go, then you should never come back here. Am I right?” As Yan was about to enter the car after reaching the car park, she suddenly heard Xiao Su’s words. She remained stationary and turned around to glance at Xiao Su, who was standing under a street lamp.
“Are you serious?” Yan couldn’t believe the words Xiao Su uttered while she stared at him and continued, “Are you sure you’re not joking?” Xiao Su merely looked back at her indifferently without making a sound. “Is this place your territory? Why can’t we come back? Furthermore, what does our coming and going have to do with you at all?” She looked at Xiao Su amusedly. “Just hear how stupid you sound.”
Xiao Su seemed to realize he had spoken wrongly. “Maybe you think that I’m being harsh. But don’t you think what you said to our Young Master Ye just now was harsh too?”
“Harsh? How was I harsh? Xiao Su, what happened to your mind after these five years? Can’t you see that it is your Young Master Ye who won’t let go of Muzi? How is this our fault?” Yan became angrier the more she spoke. “North City is our home. We don’t need anyone’s permission to come home. If you think that we are appearing in front of you all on purpose, then I suggest you try gouging your eyes out!”
Xiao Su was left speechless.
After Yan was done, she turned away to leave.
Xiao Su’s face changed and he went after her. “It’s late. Let me send you back home. It’s not safe on the road.”
“Pfft! I feel less safe being with people like you. I can call a cab myself. There’s no need to bother you!”
Xiao Su then realized his words had provoked her, so he ran to stop her hurriedly. “I’m sorry; I’m not that good with my words, but I can see you only wanted to protect Muzi and I also hope that Young Master Ye won’t get hurt. We have the same intentions; we’re just going about it in different ways. It is too late at night now; I understand you are angry at me, so let me make up for it by sending you back home.”
