When Han Muzi came out of the washroom, Ye Moxuan was right outside. She frowned and went over to her bed. She then saw her phone lying on the desk, so she picked it up and realized that someone had cracked her password. She immediately turned around to face the culprit. “You did this?”
Naturally, Ye Moxuan knew what she was talking about, so he ignored her question and went to grab her phone. “Are you hungry? I’ve ordered someone to cook for you. You—”
“Ye Moxuan! Why did you look into my phone? And you even cracked my password? Don’t you know how immoral that is? Who gave you the right to do this? Believe it or not, I can sue you for this!” Han Muzi shoved him away and took back her phone. Afterward, she took a few steps back until her back was glued to the icy wall while she continued berating him.
“Sue me?” Her resistance evoked a frown on his face, then he smiled in a self-deprecating manner. “I’ve guarded you for the whole night and this is the thanks I get? Woman, don’t you have any heart?”
Han Muzi was speechless while staring at him.
Ye Moxuan then continued, “How was I able to text Yan to bring over the congee if I don’t crack your phone’s password? In your mind, am I one of those people who only want to look at the secrets on your phone? I, Ye Moxuan, am not that shallow!”
She didn’t follow up with him, but his words touched her heart. At first, she was in a rage after realizing Ye Moxuan cracked her password and she didn’t give much thought as to why he did this. Now that Ye Moxuan had explained himself, she suddenly felt that she was the one being unreasonable. But… I don’t think I was wrong. Ye Moxuan is married and I’ve just spent the night with him in this ward. Even though he didn’t mind it, Han Muzi’s heart couldn’t accept it.
Thinking about it, she remained silent and called Yan right away.
“Muzi?”
“Come pick me up at the hospital, then help me with the discharge procedures. Also, please bring over some clothes for me to change into.”
Yan didn’t ask any questions after listening to her cold voice and swiftly nodded. “Alright. I’ll be there in a jiffy.”
After she ended the call, Han Muzi promptly walked past Ye Moxuan to exit the room. She thought it was wiser to finish the procedures before Yan arrived.
Before she reached the door, Ye Moxuan came up to her and asked, “Where are you going?”
Han Muzi ignored him and continued walking away.
“Huh.” He suddenly let out a cold chuckle and reminded her, “If you’re really in a hurry, then you should put on your shoes before leaving.”
Listening to his words, Han Muzi stopped in her tracks and lowered her head to see that she was indeed standing bare-foot on the chilly floor. Just when she drifted away, her whole body was suddenly lifted by Ye Moxuan, and he went back into the room with her in his arms. She froze but quickly reacted after regaining her composure. “Let me go!”
Ye Moxuan’s face was detached from any emotions as he put her down on the bed and brought over her shoes. “Wear them.”
Han Muzi bit on her lips and glared at him. This b*stard is extremely annoying!
Even though she was glaring at him, Ye Moxuan felt that she had a love-hate feeling for him. Later, Ye Moxuan couldn’t hold himself back, so he pressed her on the bed with both his hands clasping her shoulders. “Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you know that a look like that will drive a man crazy?”
He didn’t kiss her, but he was already close enough that his breath could engulf her face. This proximity didn’t accelerate Han Muzi’s pulse at all, instead, it increased the shame inside of her. She closed her eyes and her slightly pale lips trembled. “Ye Moxuan.” Her voice was shivering as her eyelashes twitched gently. “If you’re trying to humiliate me, then congratulations—you’ve succeeded.”
Ye Moxuan was left dumbfounded. Humiliate her?
“What do you mean?” he asked while pinching her chin.
Han Muzi widened her cold eyes. “You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
The room suddenly went silent, and Ye Moxuan could see the disgust in her eyes. Indeed. It was disgust—her disgust for him. It wasn’t hatred. It was pure disgust.
Ye Moxuan suddenly became frustrated with this realization. Why? Why would she be disgusted with me after all I’ve done lately? Ever since he first met her, he always subconsciously tried to get close to her. He kept following his heart, doing everything his heart told him to. Did I do something wrong?
Ye Moxuan tightened his lips. “Tell me what you mean.”
“I want to terminate our contract.” Compared to Ye Moxuan’s frustration, Han Muzi’s voice was much calmer. “Is that clear enough for you?” While Ye Moxuan was stunned, Han Muzi pushed him away and left right after putting on her shoes. He was left lying on the bed.
She went to carry out the discharge procedures and didn’t pay much attention to what the doctor said. She didn’t go back to her ward after she was done; instead, she sat in the corridor, waiting for Yan.
Yan didn’t disappoint her, for she reached the hospital in a flash. Seeing her sitting on a chair in the corridor, Yan was curious. “Muzi, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be in your ward?”
Han Muzi took over the bag that Yan was holding which contained her clothes, and went over to the ward. Yan followed closely behind her. When they went into the room, it was empty—there was no sign of Ye Moxuan.
“Oh, where is Ye Moxuan?” Yan asked curiously when she entered.
“I think he’s gone,” Han Muzi replied to her and went into the washroom to change.
As soon as she came out, Yan had already placed the food she brought on the table. She used to take care of Han Muzi, so she knew exactly what she should eat when she was having stomach problems.
“Come and have some breakfast,” Yan called her and she came over to sit. However, Han Muzi didn’t have any appetite when she looked at the food on the table. But she knew she had to eat eventually, so she picked up a pair of chopsticks.
“These are all mine. You can’t eat these.” Yan placed her food on the table. Han Muzi gave it a once-over and noticed that it was mostly fried food. She remained silent for a while and said, “You did this on purpose, right? You know that I can only eat light food while my stomach hurts, so you purposefully bought all of this fried food to eat in front of me.”
Yan looked pleased with herself as she put a piece of fried golden dumpling into her mouth. She even made some noise while chewing on the food. “Oh my, this is so delicious! I bought this from a new shop. Looks like I’ll be visiting them more often now.”
Han Muzi was speechless.
“Do you envy me now? Tsk, poor girl, always getting the stomach aches. I bet you know how miserable you are now! Do you still want to be so headstrong in the future and not eat all day? You can’t interrupt yourself when inspiration comes, right? Let’s see if you can still stand after collapsing like that. Huh!”
