Downstairs.
Ye Moxuan slowly put the food into his bowl. With such an elegant and attractive movement, it was obvious that he was one of those upper class who had received exceptional education. He had a gentle smile on his lips as he ate. He was feeling especially satisfied, knowing that the woman was now taking vitamin pills.
She had lowered her guard and stopped thinking about the morning-after pills. Instead, if she kept taking the vitamin pills, he could get her pregnant with his child quickly.
Did it even matter if she bore the child of her ex-husband? He would have all the kids that Han Muzi would have in the future to bear his last name as they would all be his own.
The moment he thought of an adorable daughter and son surrounding him, calling him daddy, the smile on his lips widened.
He would be the only person that Han Muzi would have for the rest of her life.
In the afternoon, Ye Muxuan took the initiative to bring her to the store. Han Muzi initially considered rejecting his offer, but thinking that she had been lying in bed for the past two days, maybe it would be good to get some fresh air. Otherwise she might really end up not being able to get out of bed.
A good-looking couple would always attract attention, not to mention if this couple was Han Muzi and Ye Muxuan. These two had attracted much attention the moment they walked out together from those around them. When they arrived at the store, they even bumped into Mr. Potbelly, whom they met in the elevator before.
This time, there was another person next to Mr. Potbelly. It was a lady who had a slim body and an elegant look.
Just that she looked like a middle-aged woman, who was a little older but still looking lovely. Standing right next to Mr. Potbelly, they actually looked good together.
“Young girl, coming to the store with your husband?”
Mr. Potbelly was always excited to see Han Muzi. After he greeted Han Muzi, he turned to look at Ye Muxuan and smiled, even though Ye Muxuan had every intention to ignore him.
The lady next to Mr. Potbelly reached out with her hand and pinched him softly. “What are you doing? Who are you saying hi to?”
“Dear wife, they are the couple whom I met in the elevator that I told you before.”
The lady looked at them with confusion.
“Are they the cute couple that you were talking about? The couple that lives in the same building and uses the same elevator as us?”
“That’s right. The young girl who uses the same elevator as us in the building. This one is my… my… wife… wife…”
The moment Mr. Potbelly talked about his wife, his face immediately flushed. He was a bit embarrassed and turned to look at her but she just glared at him. “Can you not even speak clearly now? Has everything I have ever done for you gone wasted?”
Mr. Potbelly flushed. He rubbed his hands nervously and dared not say a word.
Looking at this situation, Han Muzi was feeling a little awkward and she looked around subconsciously. The way Mr. Potbelly and his wife interacted would probably never happen to Ye Muxuan and her.
“Young girl, please ignore him. He is bad with words. When I started seeing him, he could never win me over with his words. If it is not for his down-to-earth character, I would never date someone like him.”
His wife was such an out-going person that she took a step forward and held her hands. “What are you planning on getting at the store? Let’s go in together. We just got here, too.”
Han Muzi had been staying in her room for the past two days with no one to talk to. She felt a little tempted upon hearing the invitation, but she couldn’t help but look at Ye Muxuan who was standing next to her, worrying that he might not agree. The stalker incident prior to this had badly terrified them, and who knew what would happen in the store?
Talking about this incident, Han Muzi was reminded that she had forgotten to ask him who was actually stalking her that day.
It had been such a long time, and why did he not find out anything? Or maybe he had already found out but did not tell her about it. It seemed like she should really find time to question him on this.
Perhaps the prayer in her heart was answered because Ye Muxuan, to her surprise, said, “Let’s go in together.”
Mr. Potbelly was a little surprised as he thought the emotionless Ye Muxuan would reject it, but it turned out that he actually agreed to it. What was going on?
While Han Muzi was happy, she was still feeling a little skeptical. She looked at Ye Muxuan. “Are you really okay with that?”
Just as Ye Muxuan was about to say something, Mr. Potbelly’s wife grabbed Han Muzi’s hands right away and took her to her side, trying to lecture them. “Young lady, you can’t be like this. How can you ask him about everything? Do whatever you want and if he is not okay with that, you might as well split up.”
As soon as she finished the sentence, a cold and deadly stare came. Mr. Potbelly and his wife felt that a strong stare had fallen on them. However, Mr. Potbelly’s wife was not terrified; instead, she gave a smile. “Look at how possessive this person is. I was not trying to make a point, but he will definitely lose it if you really decide to be separated from him.”
Han Muzi wouldn’t know whether he was going to lose it or not, but she knew if she and Ye Muxuan separated, he would probably pester her incessantly, even to the extent of resorting to extreme measures to keep her by his side.
“Young lady, speaking from experience, do not put up with men too much. Otherwise they would bully you in the future. Look at me right now; he would never dare disobey me. If I say to go this way, do you think he would dare go another way?”
“You have to be aggressive. Only your aggressiveness can keep them in control. Let us ladies walk in the front so I can teach you some ways to keep them under control.”
Han Muzi felt a little ashamed of herself as Mr. Potbelly’s wife had been too warm. She grabbed Han Muzi’s hands to keep walking so that Han Muzi was able to catch up.
Mr. Potbelly, who was at the back, walked toward Ye Muxuan with a smile. “Let’s catch up, shall we?”
Ye Muxuan looked at him inexpressibly. “Is this how your everyday life looks?”
Mr. Potbelly was taken aback before he responded. What did Ye Muxuan mean? He scratched his head and looked a little confused. However, he became comfortable very quickly and replaced that look with a friendly grin.
“This is nothing. We are a couple. Does it matter whether or not we lose or win? Even if she wins, that doesn’t mean anything. I am her husband; naturally I will have to put up with her.”
Ye Muxuan did agree with the latter. He felt he could put up with Han Muzi, but he could not tolerate when she did not want to have his child and if she had any contact with any other men.
“I know. I am sure you think that I am pretty useless, but I feel I am happy. That is sufficient for me.”
Just as Mr. Potbelly continued talking, Ye Muxuan turned away and uttered coldly, “Stop trying to snoop around!”
Mr. Potbelly caught up from behind and looked at him. “Looking at how you two interact, are you having problems?”
Ye Muxuan frowned unhappily. “None of your business!”
“How is this none of my business? Aren’t we neighbors? Don’t we use the same elevator? It’s fate that we bump into each other so many times. Since you are having some problems with your wife, would you like me to spare you a couple of secrets?”
Secrets? Ye Muxuan smirked. “What are those?”
Did he even need them?
