Until she was pregnant with his child? How could this be?
Han Muzi felt like she was about to explode into pieces, but she lacked the strength to do anything, so she let him have his way. After five years together, this man’s deep-rooted bad habits had finally emerged.
“Come, eat.” He placed the spoon next to her lips.
As soon as she recalled what he had done and said to her earlier, she became furious and turned away, not bothering to look at him.
“I don’t want to eat. If you wish to watch me for 24 hours, then you are just wasting your time.”
After a while, she lifted her head and stared coldly into his eyes.
“Did you think that by confining me in here and ensuring that I’m pregnant, I won’t look for a way to abort the child?”
“How dare you?!”
”You can try and see if I dare to do so?”
Ye Moxuan became furious. His eyes smouldered with anger as he pinched hard on her chin.
“Do you think after you are pregnant, I will allow you the chance to abort it?”
“Why? Why is it? Back then you wished to drive me away from you and now you keep me chained next to you. You don’t even treat me as a person. Am I just a pet to you? The type that comes bounding when called?”
At the mention of the past, Ye Moxuan’s eyes darkened.
“Then what about you? I invited you to the banquet. Why didn’t you attend?”
Why didn’t she attend the banquet?
She recalled the accident. Back then if Ye Linhan wasn’t there to protect her, she probably wouldn’t even have had the chance to reach the banquet on time. But alas, even when she reached the venue, she couldn’t locate Ye Moxuan.
When she ran after him to the parking lot, he had already left. Not giving up, she went to Seabay Villa to look for him.
But what did he do? He shut her out.
He didn’t even give her a chance to explain back then and now he had the courage to ask her why she didn’t attend the banquet in the first place?
Han Muzi wanted to laugh; she glared at Ye Moxuan with red, tinged eyes.
”How did you know that I didn’t go to the party?”
Her eyes were now red; the pale pinkish hue of the corner of her eyes now matched the color on her face.
”Did you go to the banquet?”
Black eyes stared intently at her, as if trying to ascertain the truth from her face.
Did she really go to the banquet that night? This answer seemed to be quite important to him.
Han Muzi turned away, not wishing to answer his question. To her, as things currently stood, whether she went or not wasn’t as important anymore.
“ANSWER ME!” Seeing that she avoided the issue, he increased his grip on her and forced her to turn and face him.
Dejected eyes met one another as they turned to meet face to face.
”Tell me. Were you at the party that day?”
“Was it important?” Han Muzi replied sarcastically. “What? Would it move your heart to forgive me if I said I did go? Or would you punish me ever so harshly if I say I didn’t?”
Without waiting for his reply, she said, “This matter is not important anymore. Whether I was there or not, you weren’t there to see me.”
What was important was her effort in going to Seabay Villa to look for him yet she was shut out by him.
From her words, Ye Moxuan came to realise the truth. She did go to the banquet that night; only that she arrived when he had already departed. Otherwise, how could she have reached Seabay Villa right behind him?
It was a pity that she didn’t know what day it was. That banquet was very important to him. If she had been unable to attend the banquet in the first place due to other commitments, he would still find a reason to forgive her. But he received information that she was with his elder brother.
Back then, everyone knew of Ye Linhan’s intention toward her; it was as clear as day even to outsiders. Even after he had invited her to the banquet, she still went out with Ye Linhan.
He really wanted to ask if she ever had the intention of being with him.
That night was his birthday. He had planned to reveal her to the public on that very special day, to let everyone know that she was his chosen woman.
That she was Ye Moxuan’s woman.
With him as her backer, no one would dare to bully her. But she had disappointed him. Who was Ye Linhan? He was only a mistress’ son, a home wrecker. Ye Moxuan knew what Ye Linhan’s intentions were. Linhan’s mother had destroyed his mother’s happiness and now he wanted to destroy Ye Moxuan’s happiness.
So he couldn’t even help Han Muzi find a reason to forgive her.
He felt that if she really liked Ye Linhan, then why should he force her to stay by his side? Maybe it was the flame of jealousy that had burned away all his logic and that made him shut her out all those years ago.
Ye Moxuan thought for a while, but when he saw her cold and uncaring eyes, everything he wished to say to her ended at the tip of his tongue.
She didn’t care anymore. Whatever he had to say no longer held any meaning for her. Instead, if he were to keep her by his side through force and not let any other man near her, and make her pregnant with his own child, that would be enough. That would finally make her his woman.
“Well, if you don’t want to say, that’s fine with me. But first, have something to eat.” Ye Moxuan again placed the spoon next to her lips.
He had the cooks whip up a special type of porridge. The ingredients were all nutritious and the smell was very appetising.
But at this moment, even if she was dying from hunger, she wouldn’t eat the food he placed next to her.
”I told you, I will not eat.”
“You won’t eat?” Ye Moxuan arched his eyebrows in amusement. “If you don’t eat, are you sure you have enough strength to give birth?”
”You!”
Without meaning to, she had let him get a cheap shot in. She was furious, and due to her hunger, she was starting to black out. She was in no position to retort.
After thinking for a while, she decided to pull the blanket over her head and lay down.
Ye Moxuan stopped her before she could carry out her plan. “If you don’t want me to force feed you the porridge, you had better get up and eat.”
Han Muzi didn’t care. Angrily, she pulled on the blankets and thought to herself, if she didn’t want to eat, could it be that he wanted to pour it down her throat? If she choked to death, who knewwho would be more distressed?
After thinking about this, she just closed her eyes and ignored him.
For a moment there was no movement behind her. After a while, she heard the sound of crockery being knocked together. While she was wondering what was going on behind her, she suddenly felt someone grabbing her shoulders. Before she could react, she felt something warm on her lips.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Moxuan’s face being only inches away. He was looking at her and was trying to pry her mouth open so as to feed her mouth-to-mouth.
This bastard!
Aahhh! Disgusting!
Han Muzi had wanted to push him away, but Ye Moxuan overpowered her with his strength. After a brief struggle, a mouthful of porridge ended up in her stomach.
With eyes filled with lust, he withdrew his tongue.
“Will you eat on your own or would you prefer my method of feeding you?”
