After Han Muzi handed the project information to Yan for Leng Yueyue to take over, she felt relieved of the burden.
It would be Sunday tomorrow, and so Han Muzi planned to take Little Bean to the amusement park the next day.
Ever since they returned to China, she had been so busy that she hadn’t had time to take Little Bean out.
The original plan only included the two of them, but Little Bean was extremely cunning; somehow, he managed to include Yan and Han Qing.
Han Muzi agreed to their participation straight away once she thought of the possibility of progress between Han Qing and Yan.
After all, she couldn’t let Han Qing remain as a bachelor forever.
The next day, they left together.
In the beginning, Yan was embarrassed to come downstairs. However, after some persistent pestering from Little Bean, she finally left together with them with her head bowed. However, Yan had been staying in a corner once she got into the car while avoiding eye contact, with her head bowed down like an ostrich.
Han Muzi had to stop herself from laughing aloud each time she saw Yan trying to melt into the background.
Hence, she whispered to Yan, “If you go on like this, how long will it take for you to finally become my sister-in-law?”
Her voice was so quiet that they were most probably the only ones who heard it.
However, they were all in a car after all, and Yan had the feeling that Han Qing would hear them clearly somehow. Thus, she glared at Han Muzi vehemently while she spat softly, “Shut up!”
Her expression and gaze were extremely fierce, as if she was ready to murder someone.
However, her voice was so quiet that it didn’t carry the desired powerful effect.
Han Muzi burst out laughing before asking, “Don’t you think you should at least be slightly bolder?”
“You should shut up. I don’t want to talk to you.” Yan turned around and covered her ears with her palms. It was apparent she didn’t want to speak to Han Muzi anymore.
Han Muzi stopped teasing her as well; instead, she looked away and settled into a comfortable position.
Upon arriving at the amusement park, Yan dragged Little Bean to have fun since she didn’t have the courage to face Han Qing. Thus, they left Han Qing and Han Muzi behind.
Han Qing pursed his lips when he saw that, and he couldn’t help but stare at the back of the petite girl while she went off.
Han Muzi noticed his gaze and smiled unconsciously. “Qing, how do you find Yan?”
Han Qing frowned when he heard that. He recalled how she looked like when she stole a kiss from him on two different occasions. That day, after his fingertips were smudged with her lip gloss, he forgot to wash it off. When he got back to the company, Su Jiu saw the smudge on his fingertips when he was reaching out for a file. She even teased him that something impossible was finally happening.
At that moment, Han Qing was confused because usually, he would have handled such things well by cleaning it off thoroughly.
However, it felt as if I was bewitched that day. In any case… I truly dislike this feeling.
He pursed his lips. “What is it? You haven’t even sorted your affairs, and here you are, trying to matchmake me with someone else?”
Han Muzi turned to stare at him. “You are already so old. I’m younger than you by so many years. Besides, I already have a child. Do you have one?”
Han Qing was rendered speechless by her response.
I don’t think I have a comeback for that.
Seeing as he was rendered speechless, Han Muzi flashed him a cunning smile. “That is why you are the one who needs to buck up.”
Han Qing suddenly looked solemn. “Have you sorted your issue?”
Han Muzi’s smile faded slightly when she heard that. She shook her head. “No, not yet.”
She almost forgot that she had to divorce Ye Moxuan. Should I take the chance and ask him to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau when he is still disgusted with me?
“Recently, most probably due to his injuries, his side has let their guard down. That is why I managed to find a loophole.”
“Loophole? What do you mean?” Han Muzi didn’t understand him.
Han Qing stared at her steadily while pursing his lips before stating, “The two of you are not husband and wife in the eyes of the law.”
“What?” Han Muzi was astounded. “What do you mean? I thought…”
“I found a loophole. When you married into the Ye family all those years ago, the Shen family and Old Master Ye negotiated a deal. You married into the Ye family as Shen Yue, and so… false information was used in the legal registration.”
Han Muzi was at a loss for words when she heard that.
She felt as if she had just received a huge blow against her head, and she felt slightly lightheaded.
In that case, Ye Moxuan and I were never husband and wife to begin with?
Can a person just do anything they want merely because they have money? Previously, I married into the Ye family on behalf of Shen Yue. So many things have happened since then. But, in the end, everything turned out to be nothing more than a farce.
Han Qing patted her shoulder when he saw how pale she looked.
“Isn’t this even better? You are not associated with him in any way. You are free now. You should consider your future and Little Bean’s.”
“Qing, you mean…”
“I’ve selected several top-notch candidates for you. Why don’t you meet them when you have the time?
Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his words.
Her pink lips parted, but nothing came out.
After a long pause, she finally laughed self-deprecatingly. “I was trying to matchmake you over here, but in the end, it turns out that you’ve had it settled for me, huh? However, have you considered my wishes, Qing?”
Han Qing looked far ahead calmly.
“If I hadn’t considered your wishes, do you think you’d have these achievements throughout the past five years? You can’t go on like this. I can tolerate you, but that doesn’t mean I’d have you coddled forever.”
“Would I only find happiness by marrying someone? Can’t I be alone forever?”
“What about Little Bean? Have you thought about him?”
Han Muzi bit her lower lip because she didn’t have a reply to that.
I did think about Little Bean, and that is why I figured it’s time for me to get married. However… my thoughts are completely at odds with what Han Qing is doing.
After learning the truth, he immediately found a list of candidates for me. I find it rather unacceptable.
“There are several candidates for you to select from. It just so happens that you don’t need to work tomorrow, so you can start going on blind dates from tomorrow onward. I will provide you with candidates until you find the right one.”
Han Muzi was at a loss for words.
“What do you think?” Han Qing turned to face her sideways.
“What else can I think?” Han Muzi laughed bitterly. “You’ve already decided everything. What else can I say?”
“Muzi, I will never harm you. You will understand better in the future. You are still young now, and that is why you don’t feel the strain of raising a child as a single parent. However, you will feel the challenge in the future.”
“Enough. I’ve already agreed. In that case, Qing, shouldn’t you promise me to consider Yan as well?”
The topic came back to him again. Han Qing scowled slightly, and he felt a throbbing pain developing between his temples. He massaged his temples while clearing his throat. “You don’t have to worry about me.”
“Why shouldn’t I be allowed to worry about you since you are allowed to be concerned about me? Did you hear what I said just now? Can’t you consider others, even if it isn’t Yan? Why don’t I… provide you with several candidates for your blind date as well? The fashion designers in our company are quite beautiful, and I’m sure they’d be more than happy to go on a blind date with the President of North City’s Han Group. Or… I could make an announcement at a marriage website on your behalf.”
Her suggestion worsened Han Qing’s headache, and so he gazed at his younger sister helplessly. Then, he chuckled at her lovingly. “You are already a mother. Why are you still so childish?”
