When Yan rushed downstairs, she found that the two of them were no longer together. Only Ye Moxuan was in the living room, and Han Muzi was nowhere to be seen.
When Han Muzi was not there, Yan suddenly chickened out when she saw Ye Moxuan. She didn’t know if it was because of the cold aura that he emanated, or if it was because he used to be her immediate boss before this. As such, Yan had always feared him.
Now that she saw him sitting alone in the living room, Yan stepped forward a little fearfully. “You…”
With just one sharp look from Ye Moxuan, Yan was so scared that her legs had become wobbly, but… now that he was pursuing Han Muzi, and she was a good friend of Han Muzi, Ye Moxuan would have to deal with Yan as well.
Thinking of this, Yan cleared her throat lightly. She was not so afraid of Ye Moxuan anymore.
Ye Moxuan’s gaze only stayed on her for a few seconds before he averted it. He merely sat there with his legs crossed. His handsome side-profile was icy cold, and his piercing eyes were especially alluring.
Yan looked at Ye Moxuan and quietly narrowed her eyes. This man was indeed extraordinarily good-looking. How was she not tempted by him back then? Was it because he had always been so cold, so she had never taken a liking to him?
Thinking of the hurt that Han Muzi suffered, Yan shuddered subconsciously. Fortunately, I didn’t like Ye Moxuan back then; otherwise, wouldn’t I become the same as Han Xueyou?
Yan thought for a while and walked over to ask him, “Where is Muzi?”
Ye Moxuan did not move his eyes and said coldly, “Kitchen.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan happened to hear some sounds coming from the kitchen. She quickly slipped away from Ye Moxuan and entered the kitchen.
As soon as Han Muzi turned the gas on to cook and was about to put the vegetables into the pan, Yan came in.
Han Muzi turned around and saw Yan shut the kitchen door sneakily. As such, she looked at her with an amusing expression. “Are you trying to steal something?”
Hearing that, Yan turned around and stared at her as if she was frightened. “Pfft, no!”
“If you are not trying to steal something, why are you so sneaky in your own house?”
“Do you think I want to be sneaky? If you didn’t suddenly bring that man home, would I have to do this?” Yan walked up to her with her arms crossed in front of her chest, and Han Muzi heated the pot. “Help me turn on the kitchen ventilator.”
Yan raised her hand and turned on the ventilator while asking, “What’s wrong with you? I thought you didn’t want to be with him anymore? Why did you bring him home after going out to buy some salt?”
Han Muzi paused before saying, “I didn’t plan for this to happen either.”
“But you still did it in the end.”
Indeed, in the end, she still opened the door to let Ye Moxuan in. She bit her lower lip. After seeing that the bottom of the pot was heated up, she poured the cabbage in, and smoke rushed up from there. Yan hurriedly took a few steps back and demanded, “Answer me—why did he show up here? And why did you bring him back?”
While cooking, Han Muzi thought about whether to tell Yan about what happened just now before she came back. However, after thinking about it, she figured that Yan would be too afraid to fall asleep if she told her, so she decided against it. After all, the things that happened in the past two days were related, and someone had even died in the morning.
If she told Yan that she was being followed, then…
Thinking of this, Han Muzi smiled slightly. “I just ran into him downstairs. He was so stubborn, so I had no choice but to bring him back.”
Hearing that, Yan narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “You brought him back just because he is stubborn? When did you become so compliant?”
Han Muzi stopped what she had been doing at the moment and looked at Yan a little angrily.
“Are you too free?”
Yan blinked. Then, Han Muzi pulled her close and handed the spatula to her. “I will leave it to you then.”
“Oh.” Yan looked at the spatula in her hand. “I thought you’re going to cook for him yourself? After all that, you want me to cook instead?”
“I hope you still have so much to say during dinner later.”
When Han Muzi got out of the kitchen, Yan suddenly remembered that if Ye Moxuan wanted to stay for dinner, he would be sitting at the same table with them. She didn’t even dare to imagine how she would sit with that demon who was as cold as ice.
After Han Muzi came out of the kitchen, she didn’t go over to Ye Moxuan who was sitting in the living room. Instead, she immediately walked upstairs.
She went back to her bedroom and opened her wardrobe. Just when she was about to find some pajamas to change into after washing up, she suddenly felt that it was inappropriate. After all, Ye Moxuan was still here. He was a normal man. If she appeared in front of him in her pajamas, wouldn’t he become aroused again?
However… Han Muzi’s eyes drooped. Is it true that he abstained from other women for five years? Or is it something he has concocted just because he wants my forgiveness? This is not right. Han Muzi shook her head suddenly. Why am I thinking about this?
So what if he had abstained for five years? It wasn’t her who asked him to do this; it was Ye Moxuan, a germaphobe, who didn’t want to touch other women. But why were other women unacceptable, and she was okay?
The more she thought about it, the more she was conflicted with herself. She felt that she had fallen into an endless loop. She was incredibly troubled by this. Just when she wanted to reach out to close the door of the wardrobe, one hand blocked her movement.
“What good taste you have there.” A low male voice rang near her ears and Han Muzi almost jumped up in shock.
In a panic, she subconsciously pushed against her side, but she was pressed on the other side of the wardrobe by Ye Moxuan.
Han Muzi’s eyes widened as she shouted, “Ye Moxuan, what are you doing?!”
The sweet fragrance on her body and the softness of her limbs made Ye Moxuan almost lose himself.
He also had no idea what had happened to him tonight. They had been quite intimate a couple of times before this, but tonight… Han Muzi’s words just now had made him horny. Even until now… he was still very aroused. He wanted her very much.
Ye Moxuan raised his hand. His fingertips touched her face and slowly moved down, before finally landing on her neck.
Han Muzi was very sensitive. His touch made her shudder suddenly. Her red lips trembled, and her eyes moved down slightly. She felt the scorching heat that belonged to Ye Moxuan’s fingertips. She could see that Ye Moxuan was very agitated today.
“You…” Han Muzi wanted to tell him off again, but Ye Moxuan suddenly raised his deep eyes. His eyes seemed to have the power to suck her soul in and detain it.
“How about a hug?”
Han Muzi didn’t know how to reply to him. She gritted her teeth. “You followed me up here just to tell me this? How is it possible, you—”
However, before she could finish her words, Ye Moxuan leaned forward and hugged her, holding her waist tightly.
Han Muzi froze. Immediately afterward, she felt a damp warmth on her neck.
