The sudden change in Ye Moxuan’s tone stunned Han Muzi as she glanced toward him. What’s wrong with this man? All of a sudden, he’s acting like this! This is so weird. She pulled her hand back without answering but Ye Moxuan reached out to her to help her up again. Even though his movement was gentle, he didn’t accept any refusal.
Han Muzi remained silent while she stared at him with eyes filled with rage.
Even so, Ye Moxuan didn’t feel the fury inside of her while he held a bowl in one hand and a spoon in another. He scooped a spoon of congee and tried to feed her himself. “Quit looking at me. Eat the congee.”
His words almost sent her flying into a rage, but unfortunately, she was in a bad shape so she couldn’t raise her voice. “Who’s looking at you?” How am I staring at him? What does he know?
Looking at her throwing a tantrum, Ye Moxuan’s eyes were filled with more joy. These few days had been surreal for him ever since he saw her; he never expected that her sickness would bring the two of them closer together. He then whispered to her, “Alright. You’re not looking at me, but can you just eat the congee?”
His words startled Han Muzi again. Did I hear him right? Why is there a sense of caring within his voice? When she looked at his expression, it was one of wanting to please her. Is he being nice to me because he wants me to eat the congee? Why? Is it because he is worried about me? Why would he be? He is already a married man. Why would he do these things? Confused about the situation, Han Muzi bit her lips as she refused to drink from the spoon beside her mouth.
Minutes passed and Ye Moxuan remained in that position, but Han Muzi still wouldn’t eat it. They were at an impasse.
After a while, Ye Moxuan helplessly put down the bowl. “What is your problem?”
Han Muzi stubbornly looked at him. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” She sneered at him, then had a look at the clock above. “It’s late, Mr. Ye; I don’t think you should leave your wife waiting for you at home for too long.”
Ye Moxuan was startled as he fell into deep thought. Looks like this woman hasn’t realized that we’re still aren’t divorced. That’s why she said those words. But… from the way she said it, it seems like…
“Mr. Ye.” Han Muzi articulated her words. “I don’t know what’s going on in your mind that made you decide to stay and I’m grateful to you for sending me to the hospital, but can you not stay here any longer—mmph!” Before she finished her words, someone pinched her chin and forcefully turned her around. Her sight went black afterward as she was kissed on the lips by a man.
For a moment, Han Muzi stared at the man a few inches away from her, not knowing how to react. Once the kiss was done, Ye Moxuan pulled back his lips as his breath turned scorching. “I want to stay here. What can you do about it?”
While Han Muzi’s pupils constricted, she came back around and raised her hand to slap him, but was caught by his hand and was unable to break free.
“What are you trying to do?” After being kissed, her pale lips reddened slightly, but her face turned paler than before, as though she had just experienced a traumatic shock.
“I’m not trying to do anything. I just want you to finish this congee.” Ye Moxuan was still persistent about the congee.
“Will you leave if I finish?” Han Muzi stared at him while wiping her lips.
Ye Moxuan didn’t reply to her, and Han Muzi said nothing afterward. She reached out to grab the bowl and looked up to prepare to eat the congee.
Ye Moxuan used his hand to stop her. “Don’t finish it in such a hurry.” She had a stomach problem and had just woken up, so it wouldn’t be good for her stomach if she drank it too quickly.
Han Muzi stopped; she couldn’t believe his thoughts were the same as Yan’s. Did Yan tell him this beforehand? She knew I was here and left me here alone, not to mention that she also taught this man such crucial information. How disloyal can she be?
Every time Han Muzi had stomach problems, Yan would always cook a bowl of congee for her. However, she didn’t like the taste of the plain congee, so she would always try to finish it in a big gulp, but was always stopped by Yan.
Nevertheless, she slowly drank the congee, one sip at a time. After she was done, Ye Moxuan went over to retrieve the bowl. “Sit for a while, then rest,” he said to her coldly.
Han Muzi then looked at him in surprise. “Aren’t you leaving?” She was starting to regain her strength.
“Leaving” Ye Moxuan frowned and sneered. “Who’s going to take care of you after I leave?”
“Mr. Ye! It’s not appropriate for a man and a woman to be in a room alone. I will call someone over to take care of me after you leave.”
As he heard this, Ye Moxuan’s eyes flickered and he went close to her. “We’ve already kissed. What could be more inappropriate than that?”
“You!” Han Muzi bellowed.
Ye Moxuan let out a chuckle. “Have a good sleep. Call me if you’re still uncomfortable.”
There was another bed in the ward for the patient’s family members. Ye Moxuan went to lock the door before lying down on the bed. Although both beds were separated by a small distance, Han Muzi could still feel his aura engulfing her. It might be because of that kiss just now, that she could still feel his unrelenting presence all around her. She bit on her lips out of annoyance.
She didn’t want to stay in the same room with a married Ye Moxuan, but he was unwilling to leave. She then slowly closed her eyes, having made a decision.
At midnight, the doctor came over to check on her and confirmed with her that she didn’t have any other symptoms before leaving again.
At first, Han Muzi found it hard to sleep but she started dozing off after midnight, quickly falling asleep.
It was already day time when she woke up. However, the room was quiet as Ye Moxuan was nowhere to be seen. She froze for a while then removed the blanket to sit up.
Compared to yesterday, her stomach was feeling better today. She gave her surroundings a look, then she put on her shoes and went to the washroom.
The moment she opened the washroom door, the familiar face of Ye Moxuan appeared in front of her. Due to a night of accompanying her, his eyes were surrounded with dark circles and at this moment, there were droplets of water on his face. Even so, he was still as handsome as ever.
Han Muzi immediately looked away.
“You want to use the washroom?” Ye Moxuan asked her without waiting for her to speak.
She nodded her head while remaining silent.
Ye Moxuan moved aside and helped her to open the door. “Go on then. Be careful. Does your stomach hurt? Are you still dizzy?”
He asked a series of questions, but Han Muzi just walked in and quickly slammed the door shut, leaving him on the other side of the door.
