When Yan and Leng Yueyue saw this, their faces turned pale in fright, and their eyes widened in disbelief.
It happened so suddenly that Han Muzi didn’t even know that her heel would suddenly break at this moment, and there was nothing to hold on to, so her body fell to the side uncontrollably.
She even wondered if she would knock her head, so she subconsciously reached out her hands to protect her face and her head.
However, just when her hand moved, it was firmly grasped by another person.
In the next second, she fell into Ye Moxuan’s arms.
The atmosphere seemed to have frozen at this moment. The shocked expression was still etched on Yan and Leng Yueyue’s faces; both of them looked as if someone had hit the pause button.
Han Muzi thought that she would fall and result in some injuries. However, there was no pain at all; instead, she fell into a pair of warm arms. The strong masculine aura that belonged to Ye Moxuan engulfed her as he loosened his grip on her wrists and grabbed her waist instead. Then, he used another hand to pinch her chin and forced her to raise her head.
“Are you all right?” His voice sounded anxious, and his face turned pale with a terrified expression on it.
Han Muzi still felt fear lingering within her due to the sudden accident. Her heart thumped quickly as she shook her head subconsciously.
“I-I’m fine.”
Ye Moxuan looked at her for a long moment before suddenly stretching out his hand to hug her into his arms.

At this time, the lights on the stage were turned off for some special effects, and the hall was plunged into darkness.
It was quiet everywhere—so quiet that Han Muzi could only hear the heartbeats of Ye Moxuan and herself.
She was held tightly in his arms by Ye Moxuan, and the temperature on his body continued to transfer to her and surrounded her. Ye Moxuan hugged her into an even tighter embrace, and his strength was so strong that she felt as if her bones were almost crushed.
However, for some reason, Han Muzi didn’t push him away.
At this moment, she suddenly felt Ye Moxuan’s nervousness when he did this.
When he caught her just now, his pale face showed that he was anxious about her.
The music sounded like quiet chimes that hit on Han Muzi’s heart, beat by beat.
The man holding her also stopped moving in that instant, and it took a long time before he lowered his head. Apart from that, his thin lips seemed to have fallen onto her hair as he gave her a kiss.
The sudden touch made Han Muzi return to her senses immediately, and she suddenly realized that she was still in Ye Moxuan’s arms. When she thought of what he had said to her before, she managed to pry open Ye Moxuan’s embrace and escaped from his arms.
“Thank you, Mr. Ye.”
Han Muzi sat down in her seat in shock before realizing in annoyance that her heel had broken.
What is going on? Is the quality of the shoes I bought this time so poor?
Thinking of this, Han Muzi pursed her lips and thought about what she should do about this. However, at this moment, Ye Moxuan’s low voice rang in her ears.
“Just a simple ‘thank you’ is not enough.”
When his warm breath caressed her earlobe, Han Muzi frowned slightly in the dark.
She bit her lower lip and pretended that she did not hear Ye Moxuan’s words.
After that, the activities on the stage began with the audience still looming in the dark. Everyone was seated silently. Meanwhile, Yan and Leng Yueyue, who sat beside Han Muzi, were probably shocked by the change in events, so they kept quiet and did not speak.
If Han Muzi did not know for a fact that they were sitting next to her, she might have thought that she came to the event alone.
As time ticked by, the performance on the stage was over, and the stage fell into silence again. Han Muzi roughly estimated the schedule at this time—Lin Xinghuo and Zhao Yiru were about to go on stage.
Since the sponsors had arranged for them to appear together, there would definitely be a drama later.
Han Muzi couldn’t help glancing in Yan’s direction.
Yan came here today to see Zhao Yiru embarrass herself, but she suddenly got the news that the dress was bought by someone else in full amount and was delivered to Zhao Yiru. Han Muzi didn’t know what had happened either.
Nevertheless, Yan might be disappointed tonight.
When the background music rang, Zhao Yiru and Lin Xinghuo slowly appeared in the middle of the stage, each on one side.
In order to match the dress on Lin Xinghuo, the sponsors gave her the most special style of the year, while Zhao Yiru only got the pre-agreed jewelry.
With the shouts of the fan in the audience, the atmosphere that night was very heated indeed.
The appearance of Zhao Yiru and Lin Xinghuo became more and more clear under the lighting. When Han Muzi saw the navy blue dress on Zhao Yiru, she found out that it was completely different from the cerulean blue on Lin Xinghuo.
However, there were some intricate similarities.
At this time, a huge shock came from the seat next to her.
It was Yan, who stood up directly from her seat and looked at Zhao Yiru’s dress with agitation. How could this be happening?
“Who’s that? Why did she stand up suddenly?” someone complained behind her, and Han Muzi quickly pulled Yan down.
After Yan sat down, sorrow was written all over her face as she grabbed Han Muzi’s arm and gritted her teeth in anger. “Muzi, what’s going on? That dress…”
Han Muzi had heard Lin Xinghuo mention this before, so she was quite calm. She replied softly, “Since this has already happened, even if we have any questions, we should just wait until everything is over.”
Yan was livid. But after hearing Han Muzi say this, she suppressed the resentment within her. Nevertheless, she felt like she couldn’t sit still anymore.
Of course, Han Muzi knew that she was angry at this moment. However, since everything was set, there was nothing they could do to change it. She could only whisper, “Don’t be angry. We will talk about it later.”
When everything had ended, the lights were all lit up because there was an interview session.
Reporters from major media interviewed the two people on stage and then took a few photos for five minutes.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Yan said angrily, “What’s going on? That dress was bought by someone else, wasn’t it? Why is it on her now? What the hell is going on, Muzi?”
Han Muzi remembered what Lin Xinghuo had said to her, so she told Yan about it.
“That’s how everything went. I don’t know the rest.”
“Damn! That’s impossible! Han Qing bought the skirt! Is it possible that he gave it to Zhao Yiru? F*ck! Why is his taste so awful that he actually gave the skirt to Zhao Yiru?”
Han Muzi paused for a moment before saying, “It’s not him. This matter is a bit complicated, so let’s see how things unfold before we talk about this.”
Although Yan was very angry, she didn’t ask any more questions when she heard Han Muzi say that. She just thought depressedly, If Han Qing really gave Zhao Yiru the skirt, I will not treat him as my crush in the future anymore.
My crush would never do such a despicable thing!
At this time, the interview session on the stage had already begun.
Some of the people probably wanted to stir things up, so they asked Zhao Yiru an explosive question.
“Miss Zhao, I heard that you attended the product launch press conference today because you like this jewelry brand. But if you like this jewelry brand so much, why did you wear a high-quality counterfeit dress for the occasion?”
