“Young Master Ye is the client, so it’s up to him to decide on the meeting venue,” Xiao Su replied without any emotions.
Han Muzi paused. After thinking for a while, she didn’t refute the logic. Indeed, he is the customer, so his thoughts are the most important. Since he wants to set the venue, I’ll just let him be.
Han Muzi didn’t know where Ye Moxuan wanted to meet, and she didn’t know how long it would take to reach there, so she took out her phone and texted Yan to let her know that in the event she wasn’t back after everyone got off work, Yan should take Little Bean home. They didn’t have to wait for her.
After sending the text message, Han Muzi put her phone back in her bag in relief. Then, she leaned on the seat and closed her eyes to rest.
Initially, she just wanted to take a break, but she didn’t expect that she actually fell asleep later. When she woke up, the car had stopped, and the surroundings were quiet. Xiao Su was no longer in the car.
Han Muzi looked around for a while and discovered that this was a restaurant not far from the sea. In the restaurant, a familiar figure could be seen from a distance.
It was Ye Moxuan.
Han Muzi stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes before tidying up her clothes. Then, she got up and pushed the car door open before walking in the direction of Ye Moxuan.
Since she was already here, she had nothing to be embarrassed about this time. Then, she sat down directly in front of Ye Moxuan.
“You’re up?” Since Han Muzi got out of the car, Ye Moxuan knew the answer already. However, she actually walked directly toward him and sat down in front of him indifferently. The more indifferent she was, the more frantic Ye Moxuan became. After all, this was the first time Han Muzi took the initiative to ask him out.
The waiter came over. “Miss, what would you like to order?”
Han Muzi smiled slightly. “A cup of coffee. Thank you.” She felt slightly tired after waking up .
“No problem. Please wait for a while.”
After the waiter had left, Han Muzi took a look at the design of the restaurant. The theme was mainly blue, and it complemented the color of the sea.
Both parties remained silent. When the coffee arrived, Han Muzi thanked the waiter and stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon.
“Mr. Ye,” she addressed him politely.
Ye Moxuan frowned immediately. “If you are here to discuss business, you can call me Mr. Ye, but you are not allowed to talk about any personal matters after that. If you are here to ask personal matters , then… just call my name.” He really couldn’t bear this woman addressing him in such a distant fashion.
Hearing that, Han Muzi’s hand that was stirring the coffee came to a sudden halt. After a while, she raised her eyes and glanced at the man on the opposite seat to her before saying, “Fine, then we will not talk about work today. Let’s talk about personal matters.”
Ye Moxuan’s eyes locked on her. “Then call my name.”
Han Muzi felt speechless upon hearing that. “Do you have to give me such a hard time?”
“You think that I’m deliberately giving you a hard time?” Ye Moxuan frowned. “What did I do?”
Han Muzi stared at him blankly and then said amusedly, “What did you do? You still have the guts to ask me what you did? Don’t you know it yourself?”
“Humor me.” Ye Moxuan tapped his fingertips on the tabletop with a nonchalant look.
His attitude really angered Han Muzi, who took a deep breath before starting to accuse Ye Moxuan of the crimes he had done. “You suddenly came to my company to place some orders and kept showing up in front of me, making all kinds of rude requests to me. Does that count as you giving me a hard time?” Han Muzi then raised her head and looked at Ye Moxuan with a pair of eyes that seemed to say, ‘Don’t you know enough, whether you have given me a hard time or not?’
Ye Moxuan merely raised his eyebrows.
Han Muzi continued, “At the press release, you did all sorts of things that are unrelated to you. I could walk perfectly on my own, but you insisted on picking me up in your arms and exposing me to the reporters, which may affect my private life. Is that not considered giving me a hard time?”
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan pursed his lips for a moment and asked, “Did you not hide in my arms that day? No one has taken any pictures of you.”
Han Muzi felt stumped upon hearing his reply.
“I wanted to terminate the contract, but you disagreed. You have been giving me a hard time ever since you appeared in front of me. The reason for me asking to meet you today is just to make things clear to you—please let me go. I beg you. I’ve long forgotten about everything that happened five years ago. I don’t care whether you are single or married now—it has nothing to do with me. If you are willing to have a good business relationship with me, I will try my best to design for you. But if you have other thoughts, I advise you to put them aside.”
Whether you want to rekindle an old flame or humiliate me. Han Muzi didn’t want either of those. Although Yan’s words had left a deep impression on her, Han Muzi was more inclined to protect herself. After all, there was no guarantee that after she got together with him, he wouldn’t push her away ruthlessly, just like how he did five years ago. Having experienced that once in a lifetime was enough.
Ye Moxuan looked at her intently with cold eyes. “You can’t wait to put everything on the table so clearly, can you? So anxious to get rid of me, huh? Why is that?”
Hearing his question, Han Muzi almost laughed out loud in front of Ye Moxuan.
“Ye Moxuan!” She stared at him intently and enunciated every word. “Who was the one who threw the divorce contract in front of me and told me to leave you? Who was the one who said that I was not allowed to enter your company or villa? Do you really think that everyone else is a fool? After being ruthlessly abandoned and pushed away by you, do you think that I will still come back to you? I’m sorry—in that case, I might disappoint you.” Those words were accusations that seemed to be stained by blood.
Although she was very agitated when she spoke about that, her expression and her eyes, including her emotions, were calmer than he thought. She was not as hysterical as he thought. This woman has really changed.
Perhaps it was because of what he had done. Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan pursed his thin lips and then whispered in a low voice, “I can explain all of those things. Would you like to listen?”
“No.” Han Muzi shook her head and then smiled faintly. “After a murderer has committed a crime, I don’t want to hear what he has experienced and his intentions for killing. This is the same for both you and me. Since you did me wrong, just face that. I don’t care why you said those things to me in the first place. I only know that you have pushed me away mercilessly. Your actions are the most important.”
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan laughed at himself mockingly. “It seems that no matter what I say, you won’t believe me.”
Since they got to this point, Han Muzi nodded. “Yes, I have already said everything I want to say today. The rest will be up to you, Mr. Ye. It is quite windy and chilly here, so I can’t stay for long. I will go back first.” With that, Han Muzi got up and walked out with a bag in her arms.
Ye Moxuan looked at her back with a pair of profound eyes. “Unfortunately, no matter what you say, you are still my wife.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi paused and turned her head around to look at Ye Moxuan. “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you know? Legally, we are still husband and wife.”
