After getting off work that day, Ye Moxuan drove directly to the neighborhood where Han Muzi lived.
At first, he couldn’t find the place, so Xiao Su personally accompanied him to lead the way. Ye Moxuan’s tall figure had attracted the attention of other single women, and two girls followed right behind him when he entered the elevator.
However, Xiao Su and Ye Moxuan did not seem to notice the two girls at all. They just kept talking to themselves.
“Young Master Ye, if you live here, would you like to hire a maid, or—”
Ye Moxuan pursed his lips and said coldly, “Don’t you know my habits?”
“Uh, Young Master Ye, what I mean is—if you don’t do that, you can go to Young Lady’s place to eat with them.”
Ye Moxuan was speechless upon hearing that. He then raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Su.
“Excuse me, do you live here?” Suddenly, the two girls, whose existences were barely noticed, went up to them and asked Ye Moxuan this question.
There was silence in the elevator for several seconds, and no one responded. The two girls looked slightly embarrassed, as there was no expression on Ye Moxuan’s face.
The girls looked a little unwilling to give up as they looked at his handsome profile. One of them clenched her fists and said, “I live here too. Which floor are you on? If you are free, do you want to hang out—”
“Get lost.”
The girl was stunned to find that Ye Moxuan turned his head around and stared her down coldly with a pair of falcon-like eyes that were devoid of any warmth whatsoever. After realizing that he had asked her to get lost, the girl’s face turned pale in an instant. At this moment, the elevator opened with a chime. The girl and her other friend rushed out immediately.
Ding! The elevator door closed again and continued to move upward slowly. Clenching his hand into a fist and putting it near his lips, Xiao Su cleared his throat before saying slowly, “Young Master Ye, you will offend other residents if you behave this way.”
Ye Moxuan did not answer him, but he looked extremely annoyed.
Xiao Su sighed internally. After so many years, Young Master Ye had only ever taken a liking to Han Muzi. If other girls tried to hit him up, he wouldn’t even look at them.
Xiao Su even felt that if Han Muzi was unwilling to forgive Ye Moxuan, he probably would stay single throughout his life.
“So what if I offend them? You didn’t do what I asked you to do, yet you expect me to accommodate their needs?” Ye Moxuan sneered and glanced at him sharply.
Xiao Su suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. That was why Ye Moxuan asked him to move everyone out of here. Someone was bound to annoy him, and Ye Moxuan hated such behavior. However, this was not their territory. And even if it was their territory, it was impossible to drive them away like this.
Ding! The elevator door opened again, and Xiao Su hurried out. “It’s here, Young Master Ye.”
Ye Moxuan glanced at the floor he was currently in. It was on the 18th floor.
He walked out with his long, straight legs while Xiao Su stood in front of a door. “Young Lady lives here, while you live opposite.”
Ye Moxuan pursed his thin lips. With one hand in his pocket, he stared at Han Muzi’s doorway, the corners of his lips slowly lifted into a smirk. Well, we’ll have to see each other every day. Woman, let’s see if you can still run away from me.
Seeing the expression on Ye Moxuan’s face, Xiao Su felt an inexplicable chill running down his spine, so he quickly took out the spare key and went forward to open the door. “Young Master Ye, let me take you around the house first.”
“No need,” Ye Moxuan said coldly. “You can go back now.”
Xiao Su paused for a moment before saying, “Alright, then I’ll take my leave.”
“Continue to investigate the matter and find out the mastermind behind all this. I want to see who is trying to bring trouble to me.”
“I will continue to investigate this matter. Young Master Ye, I’ll leave now. For dinner…”
The two looked at the door of the opposite unit tacitly. Then, Xiao Su silently turned into the elevator and left.
He worried too much about them. After all, Ye Moxuan had already developed a particularly thick skin in front of Han Muzi. He didn’t have to worry about Ye Moxuan at all.
After Xiao Su left, Ye Moxuan observed the surroundings before taking out the key and unlocked the door.
Although the house had been vacant for a long time, Xiao Su, who was very efficient, had already asked someone to clean it up. Even so, Ye Moxuan glanced at the house and saw that the decoration style of the house was not to his liking. If he was going to live here for some time, he probably would have to find someone to renovate it.
…
After Yan took Little Bean back, Han Muzi had nothing to do alone, so she watched some television shows. After a while, when she was bored, she went to draw up a few designs.
Not long after, Yan came back, and she complained nonstop to Han Muzi, “Your brother is annoying. After he rejected me last time, when he saw me again today, he acted as if nothing had happened. Why are men so annoying? He hurt an innocent girl’s soul, but he didn’t even feel guilty at all?”
Han Muzi paused before asking, “An innocent girl’s soul?”
Yan snorted. “Can’t I describe it that way? I haven’t been in love before! Of course, I have the soul of an innocent girl.”
“You have never been in a relationship before?” Han Muzi narrowed her eyes slightly as she doubted Yan’s statement.
Han Muzi’s eyes seemed to have the ability to penetrate through her thoughts. Yan felt that she was seen through immediately, and she was so angry that she ran over and pinched Han Muzi’s neck. “Can’t you let me pretend for a while?”
Han Muzi smiled. “You still want to pretend in front of me? Now I’m wondering how much pretense you put in front of my brother!”
“I don’t have to pretend in front of him anymore, since he has already rejected me even before I could confess my feelings. It seems that I don’t stand any chance in this lifetime anymore, but… I won’t give up. Even if there is no chance, I-I have to continue to work hard. As long as he is single, I can still stay around him, don’t you agree?”
Hearing this, Han Muzi nodded. “That’s right; you are brave.”
Only someone who had not been hurt emotionally would be brave enough to chase after the person she liked. A long time ago, she thought she could too. However, reality had shown her otherwise.
At first, Yan was happy when she heard Han Muzi praising her courage. But after thinking about it, the expression on her face became a little sullen again as she lowered her eyes.
“What’s the use of being brave? If I didn’t do that before, maybe I wouldn’t have been rejected so quickly. Humans don’t need to be so brave sometimes. In that case, I could’ve stayed with him for a while longer.”
The atmosphere suddenly became weird, and Han Muzi cleared her throat lightly. “Okay, let’s stop talking about this. Has Little Bean settled down?”
“Yes, everything is already arranged. Mr. Nan will fetch him to and from school, and your brother will be around as well.”
“Good.”
In the evening, when Yan was cooking, she realized that they had run out of salt, so she said anxiously from the kitchen, “We’ve run out of salt. Can you buy some for me downstairs?”
Thinking about everything that had happened over the past two days, she nodded. “Sure, I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some groceries that can be stocked up at home.”
