The most important thing for two people to be together in a relationship was trust. At first, she didn’t trust Ye Moxuan, but sometime later, she figured it out, so she was willing to trust him and give him more time.
Even if he didn’t explain things clearly to her, she still waited for him patiently. However, what awaited her instead? Her tolerance and patience did not gain Ye Moxuan’s trust in return; instead what she received was just doubts.
Indeed, she still liked him even now, but so what? If she still wanted to be with him, what would happen in the future when they faced troubles? When two people were together, it was impossible to treat each other coldly anymore, and they would certainly face some problems. If she was abandoned again, what would she do?
Han Muzi felt that even if it was death, she didn’t want to experience it again. I can’t be soft-hearted. I just can’t, she chanted to herself.
…
That night, Han Muzi pondered about this late into the night before falling asleep. When she woke up the next day, she felt dizzy. Yan called her several times, yet she failed to get up from the bed.
In the end, Han Muzi realized that she had a terrible headache, so she told Yan, “I want to sleep a little longer. I will go to the company later.”
Yan only assumed that she hadn’t slept well, so she nodded without putting in much thought and headed out.
The room became quiet again. Han Muzi lay on the bed, her head throbbing in pain. After a while, she fell asleep again.
After Yan went out, she unexpectedly saw Ye Moxuan standing at the entrance of the elevator. She widened her eyes and asked directly, “President Ye, why are you here?”
He went back so late last night, yet he came here early this morning? He really is not letting any time slip past.
Ye Moxuan glanced at her attire. Yan already had her bag on her back, and looking at the time, she should be going to work, but… there was no one beside her.
Ye Moxuan frowned. “Where is she?”
Yan reacted. “Are you talking about Muzi? When I woke up this morning to wake her, she seemed to still be sleeping and asked me to go to the company by myself.”
“Did she not sleep well?” Ye Moxuan’s thin lips curled into a smirk, as if he thought about something happy.
“Probably.” Yan cowered a little. She did not know what Ye Moxuan was happy about.
Ding! When the elevator arrived, Yan thought Ye Moxuan was going in, instead, after waiting for a while, he stood still and looked like he had no intentions to enter at all. So, Yan lifted her foot and walked in. She waited for a while longer in the elevator before finally asking, “President Ye, you aren’t planning to disturb Muzi’s rest early in the morning, are you?”
Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at her sharply.
Yan immediately cowered and moved to the corner. “Um… I mean—do you need me to open the door for you?”
Ye Moxuan’s thin lips pressed into a line. “No, let her continue sleeping.”
“Okay.” Yan nodded. The elevator door was about to close at this moment, but Ye Moxuan still had no intentions to go in.
What is going on? Does Ye Moxuan want to wait at the door until Muzi wakes up?
Yan watched the elevator door closed and stood with a dazed expression, but… on second thought, she felt that she shouldn’t mind their business. After all, this was Han Muzi’s personal business. She had already told Han Muzi too much last night.
After returning to her room last night, she lay on her bed and thought for a long time, What if I’m Muzi? After suffering the hurt that she suffered, can I still believe in love? I’m afraid I can’t. Two failed marriages are enough to make me lose my courage in life. In conclusion, I have not experienced Muzi’s pain, so I have no right to comment on her life plan. Sigh, how stupid of me! And I even thought that I said those words for her own good.
Thinking about it now, Yan really felt regret and sorry for Han Muzi.
…
Ye Moxuan stood at the door for a while. After raising his hand and glancing at the time on his watch, he agreed that it was indeed early now, so he decided to let her sleep for a while.
Ye Moxuan took the key and turned back to his house. His long, straight legs walked past the tiles and finally he sat down on the couch.
He took out the remote control to turn on the TV, but what was displayed on the screen was not the television shows, but the door of Han Muzi’s unit that was opposite of his. In this case, in case there were any anomalies, he would be notified immediately.
Xiao Su called him in the middle of the night last night, saying that the two people had probably received the news halfway through, so they went straight back to their house that was rented instead of looking for the mastermind behind it.
Xiao Su didn’t dare to startle them, so he didn’t alarm the two people. But this situation made Ye Moxuan feel more certain that the mastermind was not an ordinary person.
However, in North City, there were very few people who were capable of pulling such a stunt, and he could almost figure out which ones they were. Unfortunately, there was no concrete evidence. Moreover, that person hadn’t appeared for a long time.
Could it be him? Hah, let’s just wait and see.
Everything remained the same until noon, and there was no movement on the monitor. Ye Moxuan was doing his work and making phone calls in the living room while checking the screen from time to time. When he finished his work, he found that there was no movement on the screen.
After looking at the time, he realized that it was already noon. Is that woman still sleeping?
Ye Moxuan’s eyes darkened a bit. He closed his laptop and got up to walk outside.
He walked to Han Muzi’s door, pursing his thin lips slightly into a straight line. With one hand in his pocket, he rang the doorbell with another.
Ding-dong! The doorbell rang several times, but no one came to open the door.
Ye Moxuan waited by the door patiently. About a minute later, he rang the doorbell again.
At this moment, Han Muzi was lying on the big bed in her room, feeling groggy. She seemed to vaguely hear the doorbell ringing several times but she didn’t know who it was.
She lifted her blanket in a daze. When she got up, she was so dizzy that she almost fell down. She held the table next to her and shook her head before she could stand firmly. Then, she supported the wall all the way downstairs to open the door.
Probably too dizzy, Han Muzi didn’t even see who was standing outside and opened the door directly.
Ye Moxuan wanted to raise his hand and press the doorbell again when the door suddenly opened with a click. At a glance, he saw Han Muzi’s flushed cheeks and surprisingly red lips.
With just a glance, Ye Moxuan’s expression changed immediately. He stepped forward and clasped her wrist without thinking. “Are you home alone?”
“W-What?” Han Muzi’s wrist was suddenly grabbed by him, so she subconsciously tried to break free, but her body was very frail and could not exert any strength at all.
When Ye Moxuan saw her flushed cheeks and seductively red lips, he thought that something had happened to her. But after touching her wrist, he was shocked to find that Han Muzi’s temperature was exceptionally high.
Seeing her in a daze, Ye Moxuan raised his hand and touched her fair forehead.
Upon touching it, Ye Moxuan frowned. “Damn, don’t you know that you have a fever?”
