“We are already here; do you still think I am joking with you?” As Ye Moxuan answered her, he raised his hand to tidy up her silky hair, toying with a few strands while he was at it.
Han Muzi lowered her head, staring at the way he played with her hair.
“I am serious. If your opinion about me was affected by an unknown woman, then I would like to prove that I have nothing to do with her. From the first day since we met, what I’ve said and done has been sincere without an ounce of fakeness.”
“But…” Han Muzi raised her head and saw his increasingly bloodshot eyes. She then asked, “You haven’t had any sleep in the past two days, have you? Can your body even withstand it?”
They looked at each other; Ye Moxuan then lowered his head and leaned his forehead against hers as he shut his eyes tiringly.
“It can’t, but I can’t stand losing you even more. You can’t trust Ye Linhan because he is up to no good.”
Ye Moxuan talked bad about Ye Linhan selfishly.
Noticing her silence, he continued to grumble, “He didn’t fight back not because he didn’t have the ability to do so, but because you were there.”
Han Muzi was speechless.
“He did that on purpose, don’t you understand?”
Her lips quivered as if she was going to say something. However, before she could do anything, his lips covered hers and a soft kiss was planted on her lips, just like flower petals falling to the ground soundlessly.
Gently, quietly and soundlessly.
Han Muzi was overwhelmed, and she intuitively parted her lips to receive the kiss.
As soon as she parted her lips, she could feel his body tremble violently before his tongue entered her mouth to capture hers domineeringly.
“Mm.” Han Muzi couldn’t refrain from moaning, but just when she thought he would deepen the kiss, Ye Moxuan suddenly pulled away.
Han Muzi stared at him dazedly.
“Do you want me to lose control in public?” Ye Moxuan panted, resting his head against her forehead.
In public?
It was only then did Han Muzi remember that they were still in the airport’s VIP lounge. Even though there were fewer people here compared to the common area, there were still several people around them.
After a long while, Han Muzi finally came back to her senses. She wanted to push Ye Moxuan away, but he pinched her lips as he laughed. “It’s too late—everyone has already seen us, and it is too late to hide now.”
Sensing the look directed at them from all directions, she was so flabbergasted that her face and ears turned red. Han Muzi didn’t dare say anything more and could only glare angrily at him.
“Didn’t you suggest grabbing a bite? Let me go and I will look for something to eat on my own…”
As she finished saying that, she pushed Ye Moxuan away and got up—only to be pulled back by him once again.
“Give me a few minutes.”
As Han Muzi was pulled back down to sit beside Ye Moxuan, he leaned into her ear and whispered, “Don’t you know that it wouldn’t be convenient for me to get up after we kiss?”
“…”
She was speechless again. She obviously understood what he meant when he said it was not convenient for him; after all, this situation had happened at her place before.
What a rascal!
“It was only…”
It was only a light kiss. I can’t believe he…
Han Muzi glared at him angrily at the thought of this.
His bloodshot eyes were filled with delight. Although he was sexually dissatisfied, the anger from when he had punched Ye Linhan disappeared completely.
The moment Han Muzi took the initiative to part her lips and received his kiss, he realized that he had always been in her heart.
Therefore, he had no reason to be furious with Ye Linhan. Who was he to think that he could snatch Han Muzi away anyway?
Ye Moxuan was satisfied that Ye Linhan had never come into the picture, and after confronting Duanmu Xue, he could overtly march into her life and become her child’s father.
After a long while, Han Muzi asked him, “Are you better now?”
Ye Moxuan shook his head. Pursing his thin lips, he sat there, unmoved.
About three minutes later, Han Muzi peered at him and asked the same question again.
Being fully aware of his condition and looking at him with those misty eyes, Han Muzi still looked at him with an innocent look on her face and asked that sort of question.
Ye Moxuan wanted to drag her toward him and kiss her again, pressing her up against his member to feel for herself whether he had recovered or not.
How could he possibly recover that quickly?
“How long…” Before Han Muzi could finish her sentence, she noticed his predatory gaze on her and could only swallow her words.
Fine, I guess I’ll just wait.
When this situation first happened in her house, it seemed to have taken him quite a long time to cool himself down again.
Since then, she stopped bothering him. As time was ticking away, the long pause became awkward. She wanted to remind him that they wouldn’t be able to do anything else but board the aircraft directly if they continued to stay there.
Weren’t they planning to grab a bite?
Finally, when Han Muzi was about to get up and declared her intention to go to the restroom, Ye Moxuan suddenly grabbed her hand and said, “Let’s go!”
“Have you cooled yourself down?” She looked astonishingly at him.
Ye Moxuan pursed his thin lips.
“Don’t look at me that way; otherwise, I would probably need to stay here again.”
Wordlessly, she turned her gaze away, no longer paying any attention to him.
On their way out, Han Muzi seemed to have remembered something and asked impatiently, “Is Linhan really alright?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that the atmosphere had turned colder.
She turned her head to look at Ye Moxuan. As expected, he was staring coldly at her.
“You are still thinking about him right now?”
“Not intentionally, but because you’ve injured him,” she replied.
He turned his gaze away but his voice was aloof.
“He is not my elder brother, and you should not treat him as one.”
Naturally, she did not see him as his elder brother.
“Let alone treat him as a man.”
Han Muzi thought, Isn’t this request excessive?
“He is the mistress’ son,” Ye Moxuan suddenly declared.
Han Muzi was taken by surprise. In fact, she didn’t know much about the Ye Family’s affairs; what she knew was simply the tip of the iceberg.
She knew that both of them were not related by blood, but were half-brothers of different mothers. As for other affairs, she didn’t know much about anything else.
“At that time, my mother could not get pregnant after she married into the Ye Family. Three years later, she discovered that her husband had cheated on her. Because she was strong willed, she could not stand the pain of sharing a man with another woman; she then forced him to get a divorce with her and left the Ye Family.”
Shocked, Han Muzi lowered her eyes.
She had no idea that Ye Moxuan’s biological mother was so strong-willed. Unlike other women who chose to compromise after finding out that their husbands had cheated on them, his mother had divorced her husband as soon as she knew about the affair.
“It was after leaving the Ye Family that my mother realized she was pregnant.”
She realized that she was pregnant after she left?
Han Muzi caressed her belly unconsciously.
“Since it was her ex-husband’s child, she could have chosen to abort the baby. However, my mother chose to give birth to me without hesitation.”
Upon hearing this, Han Muzi couldn’t help but raise her head to look at him.
She noticed that his eyes had darkened like the deep blue ocean.
Different from his usual manner, Han Muzi had never seen him with such a look on his face before.
