Yan stared at her with a knowing smile. “It’s not me who is thinking nonsense. It’s you guys who are doing nonsense!”
After teasing her, Yan had a smile on her face. However, the smile on her face stiffened in the next second, and she took a step back subconsciously.
Seeing her like this, Han Muzi instantly understood what was going on. There was almost no need for her to look back. She was sure that Ye Moxuan had come down the stairs. After all, Ye Moxuan was the only one who could make Yan look so fearful.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi walked forward to the kitchen to get the cutleries. She only took it for herself. When Ye Moxuan sat down beside her, he looked at the empty table and pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
Han Muzi said directly, “We don’t have servants at home. If you want to eat, you have to take the bowl and chopsticks yourself.”
He was obviously so close, but they were interrupted. Even though Ye Moxuan had recollected himself and went downstairs, the aura exuded from him was still extremely cold. Sitting there, even the surrounding temperature had been directly reduced.
Yan nodded in agreement when she heard Han Muzi’s words. Right after nodding, Yan felt a cold stare looking at her which sent a chill down her spine. Facing Ye Moxuan’s murderous glare, Yan’s expression instantly changed. “I-I’ll get the bowls and chopsticks for you, President Ye!”
With that, before he could react, she went to the kitchen and took a new bowl and chopsticks and put them in front of Ye Moxuan. “P-President Ye, here are your chopsticks and bowl.”
Seeing this, Han Muzi was a little unhappy. “Didn’t I just say that we don’t have any servants at home? If you want someone to serve you while you are eating, you can leave now.”
Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at her before saying in a cold voice, “I didn’t ask her to serve me.”
Yan knew that she had interrupted them. Judging by Ye Moxuan’s expression, it was either they never made it, or that they had almost made it, but it was interrupted by her. This was why Ye Moxuan’s murderous aura and coldness was directed at her.
Yan swallowed nervously and nodded in agreement. “Yes, Muzi. Stop criticizing President Ye. He is one of the clients of our company and a guest at our house. We should make him feel welcome no matter what. It’s just taking a bowl and chopsticks anyway; it’s no big deal.”
Han Muzi looked at Yan helplessly. This girl changes her attitude too fast!
Han Muzi didn’t say anything after that. The dinner table became quieter as each of them ate their own food in silence. Basically, throughout the entire meal, wherever Han Muzi’s chopsticks went, Ye Moxuan’s chopsticks followed. It could be said that whatever that she had eaten he followed suit. As such, Han Muzi was speechless at that.
On the other hand, Yan was so scared that she didn’t even dare to take any food and merely ate the rice in her bowl with her head hanging low. Quietly observing the interaction between the two people opposite to her, she thought, How can one person change so much?
Five years ago, Ye Moxuan was so cold and arrogant. But now, in front of Han Muzi, he seemed to have completely removed all of that facade.
Suddenly, Yan remembered a saying—’In love, whoever loves first loses.’
Back then, Han Muzi loved Ye Moxuan deeply, so she was completely lost and was left with nothing. She had even changed her name and moved to a foreign country. When she had left everything behind, it was Ye Moxuan’s turn now.
Han Muzi no longer wanted to have anything to do with Ye Moxuan now, but his thoughts had changed, so he stooped himself to a lower position in front of Han Muzi. Thinking of this, Yan took a few more mouthfuls of rice while feeling a little depressed.
This was also the same case with Han Qing and her. She liked him first, and then she was rejected by him even before she confessed. However, she didn’t give up and told him that she had not heard his rejection. Then… she continued to secretly like him without any dignity.
Now, it seemed that Ye Moxuan was at least braver than her. At least he was moving forward and working hard. It was truly a difficult thing to fall in love with someone who reciprocated the feeling. Yan suddenly felt sad, and she didn’t hate Ye Moxuan as much now.
After eating, Han Muzi collected the dishes and went to the kitchen while saying, “Now that you’ve had dinner, you can go back.”
She didn’t hesitate to kick him out, but Ye Moxuan got up and helped her do the dishes. No matter what Han Muzi said, he would not answer her and finally followed her into the kitchen.
Yan thought for a while and went to the living room to watch some television. She sat on the couch with a pillow in her arms and kept changing channels while thinking about Han Qing. Should I move forward bravely like Ye Moxuan?
Anyway, she was already rejected by Han Qing once, so it seemed there was nothing to be ashamed of. On top of that, there had never been any woman around Han Qing, so this was a good opportunity. If she continued to shy away like this, someday, other women would appear next to Han Qing. When that happened, she would have no chance anymore.
Thinking of this, Yan made up her mind secretly.
In the kitchen, Han Muzi turned on the tap to wash away the remnants on the plate before putting it aside.
Then, she spoke coldly, “You have finished your meal now. Are you not going to go back? It’s already quite late.”
Ye Moxuan stepped forward and stood beside her. “Who knows if those two people might come back again? Aren’t you afraid at night?”
Han Muzi didn’t reply to him. Without hearing him mention those two people, she almost forgot about them.
“Even if they come back, they won’t be able to enter my house, so nothing will happen.”
“It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
“There’s no need for that.” Han Muzi calmly put down the plate. When she raised her head, her eyes became sharper. “If they really come back, it would be just right. I can record everything down using my surveillance cameras and hand them directly to the police. ”
“Ha.” Ye Moxuan chuckled with his deep voice. “You really are my woman indeed. You’re bold.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi glared at him fiercely. “Who is your woman?”
“I only have one woman. Who do you think?”
Han Muzi went silent upon hearing that.
“They came prepared. If you call the police, I am afraid that the problem will not be resolved.”
Hearing this, Han Muzi’s expression became serious, and she threw a sideways glance at him.
“Do you know something?”
He pursed his thin lips silently.
“You know who is behind the scenes, don’t you?” Han Muzi asked again. She was very curious about the person who had done so many things to hurt her. Ye Moxuan knew in advance that she would be followed, so he should have found out about the mastermind as well.
Ye Moxuan spoke slowly under her expectant look. However, what he said had surprised her. “I don’t know yet, but I will find out. The person is quite skilled.”
Hearing this, Han Muzi could almost rule out a lot of other suspects. Lin Qingqing and Zhao Yiru, whom Yan suspected before, could be ruled out. Although the two women wanted to harm Han Muzi, they didn’t have such an evil intention. From what they had done before this, it was obvious that the way they did things were not that serious, unlike this time…
It happened suddenly and then it was also obliterated too quickly. This meant that the person’s skill was not ordinary indeed.
Who could it be?
