This was the first time Ye Moxuan had been to Han Muzi’s place. After Xiao Su had looked into this, Ye Moxuan heard from him that this house was directly under Han Muzi’s name and that it was her private property.
Even though Ye Moxuan was impressed by her working capabilities in his company back then, he surmised that if this woman was serious about doing something, few people could match her.
Before this, she lacked self-confidence. When her confidence was built up, she was probably the person who would stand out the most in a room. Hence, Ye Moxuan was not surprised at her achievements at all—as if everything was as he expected.
He took off his shoes in the hallway. After seeing that Han Muzi had ignored him, he walked directly inside with a slight smile on his face. Then, he bent down to open the shoe cabinet in the hallway by himself to put his shoes in.
After looking around, Ye Moxuan was taken aback when he saw a row of children’s shoes neatly placed on the top row. These must belong to her child. The kid who called her ‘mommy’ on the phone.
Before this, he didn’t know the gender of her child. After seeing those shoes, Ye Moxuan could confirm the gender. It seemed to be a boy.
Ye Moxuan’s eyes drooped. He didn’t expect that she was still so stupid—she gave birth to the child of that scumbag ex-husband of hers.
From the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw a pair of large indoor slippers that belonged to a man on the bottom of the shoe cabinet. Ye Moxuan’s expression immediately darkened, and his eyes became cold at this moment. He went silent for a moment before closing the shoe cabinet and walked in barefooted.
At exactly this time, Yan walked downstairs while drying her hair with a towel.
She had gone to take a shower while Han Muzi was out. At this moment, she was wearing pajamas with cartoons on them with wet and messy hair. She said, “Muzi, did you just come back? I heard something. Why—” The rest of the sentence stopped midway as Yan stared at the person behind Han Muzi with wide eyes.
It was a tall man with an aura of dominance. The coldness in his eyes had filled the surroundings in an instant.
“A-A-Am I seeing things, Muzi?” Yan stammered while looking at the handsome-looking Ye Moxuan behind Han Muzi.
If her eyes were functioning well, it looked like Han Muzi brought a man home after coming back from the supermarket. On top of that, this man was none other than Ye Moxuan, whom she had always been avoiding.
Han Muzi pursed her red lips and said in a low voice, “You’re not seeing things. But you should go back and dry your hair first so that you don’t catch a cold.”
Hearing Han Muzi’s reminder, Yan realized that she was still wearing her pajamas. Hence, she bowed subconsciously and said, “I’m heading upstairs. Please make yourself at home!” With that, Yan turned around and hurried upstairs.
Han Muzi looked at Yan, who was leaving anxiously, and turned around to the person behind her, revealing her side-profile. “What do you want to drink?”
An icy voice came from behind. “Whatever.”
His tone was quite cold. Upon hearing that, Han Muzi couldn’t help but frown. What’s wrong with this guy? When I opened the door just now to let him in, he looked mischievous. But after entering my house, his expression changed immediately? Perhaps, he has returned to his usual self? Forget it. I’ll just let him be. He usually has a cold expression on his face anyway.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi said, “Find a place to sit.” Then, she turned around and went to the kitchen.
She opened the refrigerator and looked at the groceries that she was half-way through arranging just now. After recalling that he had arranged everything in the dark and then brought it up for her, she couldn’t help but sigh.
However, when she thought of him following her and scaring her, she was so angry that she took out a bottle of cold water and left the kitchen.
Ye Moxuan was still standing there, maintaining his previous stationary posture while barefooted. As men usually had bigger feet, it looked weird to see his bare feet on the carpet in her house.
Han Muzi walked over and glanced at his foot. “Why don’t you wear slippers?”
Furious, Ye Moxuan’s eyes were cold as he snorted. “Are there any slippers that I can wear?”
Hearing that, Han Muzi was taken aback, and she subconsciously replied, “Isn’t there a pair of shoes that fits you at the bottom of the shoe cabinet? I heard you open the shoe cabinet door just now; didn’t you see it?
She has the guts to mention that? The aura on Ye Moxuan’s body became colder and more intense.
Han Muzi frowned. After all, she still couldn’t stand seeing his feet. Since Ye Moxuan didn’t answer her, she thought he didn’t see it. After putting the bottle of cold water on the table, she got up and walked around. “I’ll help you get it.”
When she passed by him, Ye Moxuan clasped her wrist.
“What are you doing?” Han Muzi looked up at him with a confused expression, and she subconsciously wanted to shake off his hand.
Ye Moxuan’s thin lips were pressed into a firm line, and his dark eyes were full of anger. He stared at her sharply and opened his thin lips slightly after a while. “I don’t need it.”
As if he wanted to explain himself to her, he smiled mockingly. “I don’t wear shoes that others have worn before.”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing that. Initially, she thought that it was because he was a cleanliness-freak. But after thinking about it, she figured something was not quite right. When she looked at Ye Moxuan’s hostility, it had finally dawned on her that… the man in front of her was jealous.
She let him in just now and he was perfectly fine, but after he opened the shoe cabinet, his entire aura suddenly turned icy. At that time, Han Muzi was pondering what was going on while wondering why Ye Moxuan’s mood changed so quickly. Who knew that… he got jealous after seeing the pair of male-sized slippers?
She found it quite amusing, and at the same time, she thought that Ye Moxuan was quite stupid. Hasn’t he always been smart? When he deals with sly businessmen, he is so sensible, but when it comes to me, why is he such an impulsive and inexperienced person?
Thinking of this, Han Muzi blurted out, “What do you mean someone has worn it before? Those are the shoes that my brother wears when he comes over.”
As soon as she said this out loud, both of them were stunned at the same time. The reason why Han Muzi was stunned was that she didn’t expect herself to explain this to him. As for Ye Moxuan, he was taken aback because he couldn’t believe that he had forgotten that she had an irritating brother.
Indeed, this was her house; of course Han Qing would come over occasionally. It was completely normal to prepare a pair of men’s slippers there.
After he thought about it this way, the anger within Ye Moxuan had dissipated a lot, but he felt a little embarrassed about it, so he said coldly, “Even if it’s your brother’s, I am a germaphobe. You know perfectly well about that.”
Han Muzi glanced at him irritably and sneered. “Ah, I see. President Ye is a germaphobe. To you, my house is probably full of dust. Would you like to leave?”
Ye Moxuan stared at her. “I only care when it comes to other people—not you. You know that.”
His gaze was focused on her lips. For no apparent reason, Han Muzi thought of the kiss in the dark just now. She felt that her cheeks had inexplicably turned hot.
Indeed, he is a cleanliness-freak, but why doesn’t he feel that it’s unhygienic when he kisses me? Furthermore, he’s always kissing whenever he gets the chance…
