After Yan received the answer from Han Muzi, she felt confident instantaneously, and her spirit had been restored.
This was the first time she noticed that Muzi had another skill so she could not help but said, “Muzi, you are good at this. I reckon you are qualified to be a love guru.”
After hearing this, Han Muzi could only let out a bitter laugh. Who could she be a love guru to? She could not even take care of her own love life. However, what she just told Yan… had surprised herself.
She looked down at the documents on her desk. Did she want to see Ye Moxuan right now? It seemed like it. So, should she follow her instincts and give him a call?
In recent times, he always took the initiative to show up around her, but now, he was out of the country and did not give her a call, and that was probably because he had promised not to come and look for her. Is that why he never informed me? It might be because of that.
After some thought, Han Muzi unconsciously pulled out her phone and opened her WeChat. She found Ye Moxuan’s profile and clicked on it to send him a text. However, her fingers stopped in the end. Would sending a text message now make me look desperate?
After all, during this period, she had never taken the initiative.
At this juncture, Han Muzi let out a sigh and placed the phone back on the table before resuming her work.
A busy day had come to an end. When it was time to get off work, Han Muzi packed her things up to get ready to bring Little Bean home from school. Before she stepped out of the office door, her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
Han Muzi frowned and then answered the phone. “Hello?”
“Mommy!”
“Little Bean?” After hearing Little Bean’s voice, Han Muzi became suspicious. “Whose phone are you using to make this call?”
“Mommy, this phone belongs to Mr. Ye.”
Mr. Ye? The word ‘Ye’ froze Han Muzi for a moment. Then, a bad feeling arose. “W-What do you mean? Who is… Mr. Ye?” A person automatically came to mind, and that gave Han Muzi the chills.
From the other end of the phone came a little noise—it seemed like the phone had been given to another person. Then, Han Muzi heard a familiar male voice, one that was soft but a little indifferent. “Muzi, it’s me.”
Ye Linhan! Han Muzi bit her lower lip and instantly went through the roof. “Ye Linhan, what are you doing? What do you want?” After finishing her question, Han Muzi did not hesitate and ran out right away.
Yan, who was not far behind her, saw that she was running so she yelled, “Muzi, where are you going? Wait for me.”
However, Han Muzi did not seem to have heard what she said. Feeling frustrated, Yan stomped away. Whatever, I’ll wait until this evening when she’s back at home to ask her about what happened. Right now, she had to head to Han Group… to see him!
At this moment, Han Muzi made it to the parking lot. She opened the car door and got into the car. After that, she proceeded to tell Ye Linhan on the phone, “Please cut to the chase. What do you want? Where is Little Bean?”
After a moment of silence, Han Muzi started to panic. “Ye Linhan, say something.”
Then, there came a sigh. “I was worried you would address me as Vice President Ye, but who knew that you would call me by my name this soon. It was nothing… I happened to pass by the school and saw the little guy standing at the entrance, so I decided to give him a ride home.”
“Home?” Han Muzi squinted.
“Mommy, Mr. Ye and I are at the bakery close to the ground floor of where we live.”
“I got it. I will be there right away. Don’t go anywhere, and if anything happens, please find the auntie in that bakery for help. She and Mommy are good friends; are you clear?”
The last part of the sentence was an implication—if Ye Linhan did anything to Little Bean, she would never forgive him. Han Muzi then hung up right away and turned her car around.
She had fortunately avoided the peak hour, and there were not that many cars on the road, so Han Muzi could speed up except when she had to wait at the traffic lights.
Throughout the whole car ride, Han Muzi felt uneasy; she would die to be transported instantly to where Little Bean was and take him into her arms—far away from Ye Linhan.
Ye Linhan… This man is becoming more and more unpredictable.
During the previous encounter at the store, he claimed that he lived nearby, and even told her to look into him if she did not believe him.
Look into what? If he had shown up in front of her deliberately, he would have taken care of everything that could be looked into. Even if she did look into it, she could probably only scratch the surface of it. Therefore, she would not even waste time looking into what Ye Linhan was doing these days.
She did not imagine that despite already putting in the effort to get closer to her and even reaching a collaboration with her company through his company, he would still want to get close to Little Bean. What exactly is he doing? What does he want?
Just like that, Han Muzi made it to the entrance of the bakery after thinking about all these things throughout the car ride. Without a second thought, she removed the car keys, slammed the door, and ran straight into the bakery.
Pushing the glass door open, Han Muzi screamed right away, “Little Bean!”
“Mommy, I am here.”
There were seats inside the bakery, and as Han Muzi looked toward the source of the voice, she saw Little Bean seated toward the deeper end of the store. There was a fruit cake in front of him, and he waved his tiny hands at her while some butter was smeared at the corners of his mouth.
Seeing Little Bean, Han Muzi’s heart started beating a little faster. She quickly went up to him.
“You’ve arrived?” A soft voice rang out at this moment.
Only then did Han Muzi realize that there was someone else next to Little Bean—Ye Linhan. Seeing Ye Linhan agitated Han Muzi. She almost couldn’t resist her anger, but being in front of Little Bean, she had to suppress her overflowing anger.
She ignored Ye Linhan and walked to Little Bean and sat down in front of him. She then took out a napkin and wiped the butter off the corners of his mouth with a gentle smile. “Is the fruit cake tasty?”
Little Bean nodded naively. “Yes, Mommy.”
“Good boy.” Han Muzi put out her hand and rubbed his head. She whispered, “So when will you finish eating it?”
“There is still a lot.”
Little Bean pointed at the fruit cake in front of him. Han Muzi took a glance and realized there was indeed a lot more. She turned her eyes back and whispered, “Bring the fruit cake to the car and eat it there; Mommy has some words to say to Mr. Ye. Is that okay?”
“Huh?” Little Bean blinked and asked naively, “What does Mommy want to say?”
Han Muzi pinched his cheek. “Mommy and Mr. Ye have some business cooperation, so it is something about our work. Even if you stay here, you won’t understand anything. So… please wait for Mommy in the car for two minutes, okay?”
Little Bean thought about it and nodded. “Okay, Mommy.”
After saying this, he stood up and took a deep bow at Ye Linhan. “Thank you, Mr. Ye, for sending me home and buying me fruit cake. I’m going now! I’ll wait for Mommy in the car.”
