Han Muzi deliberately stressed on the word ‘hate’ when she said it, as if to let Ye Moxuan know how determined she was.
The corners of Ye Moxuan’s lips lifted up slightly. Seeing how Han Muzi was acting spoiled, he swept her into his arms and held her tightly, his tone filled with love. “You won’t get the chance. I will only make you fall deeper for me.”
Filled with embarrassment, Han Muzi was left speechless for a moment.
Her face blushing red, Han Muzi shot back, “Who’s in love with you? Just because I agreed to let bygones be bygones, doesn’t mean that I like you.”
“Hmm?” Ye Moxuan raised an eyebrow, as if noticing something. “If it wasn’t because you like me, then what was it?”
Han Muzi gave a small harumph. “It was because you were so damn thick-skinned, always bothering me. What else?”
“Is that so?”
Han Muzi’s eyes widened and she frowned at him. “Are you trying to deny it?”
“When did I deny it? No matter what your reason is, you agreed to get back with me. In short… it’s enough for me if you are by my side.”
His eyes, as deep as an abyss, locked onto her. Thrown off by his gaze, Han Muzi didn’t know how to react as she felt his hot breath coming closer to her.
Only when his face grew closer and closer did Han Muzi recover herself from her surprise. It seemed that he wanted to kiss her again.
“No!” Just when his lips were about to kiss her, she quickly tilted her face away, and Ye Moxuan’s lips landed on her cheek.
Unbothered by it, his thin lips lightly kissed her cheek, then one of his hands pressed against the back of her head, and he moved toward her red lips.
“No more!” Han Muzi placed a hand on his chest, begging. “I’m already very tired.”
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan paused. A moment later, he gave a chuckle. “You’re still tired even after a day’s rest?”
“This isn’t something you can recover from just a day’s rest.”
“But I want to do it again. So what now?”
Ye Moxuan’s hand slid lower down from her waist. Feeling his hand groping her, Han Muzi’s face slightly darkened and she gave a low warning, “Stop messing around. Could it be that you had no intention to bring me to meet this woman? Is that why you’re doing this? To stall?”
Upon hearing her words, Ye Moxuan was silent for a moment before his expression immediately turned solemn. “You don’t believe me?”
“Then prove it to me. I followed you overseas yesterday, until now…”
Ye Moxuan gave her an exasperated look, and in the end, he let out a heavy sigh. “Forget it. Just get some rest early tonight.” He then got up and went to the bathroom.
This should do it, right? Han Muzi breathed a sigh of relief, then lay back on the bed. Remembering something, she quickly took out her phone to send a WeChat message to Yan.
Unexpectedly, Yan had already sent her a WeChat message. ‘Everything on Han Yishu’s side has been dealt with. A woman’s honeymoon night is invaluable, so you should cherish it.’
Han Muzi was somewhat speechless. Damn Yan. She’s always trying to tease me.
She put away her notebook, thinking about what she had said to Ye Moxuan. Unknowingly, a smile had appeared on her lips. She had promised that she would never let him down, so she would definitely see to her promise. It was likely that Han Yishu… was his son.
With the two sharing such a striking resemblance, it couldn’t be anything else. She didn’t dare believe it in the past. Whenever she had doubts, she would think that it was too ridiculous to be true. But even if it was ridiculous, so what?
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Han Muzi thought about it, closing her eyes. She would need to find an opportunity to get Ye Moxuan to talk later.
At night, after the hotel’s lights are out, Ye Moxuan lay by Han Muzi’s side. Their breathing was even, but they both knew that neither of them were asleep.
Han Muzi blinked her eyes in the darkness, suddenly turning around to get comfortable to sleep. But just as she turned around, the idiot leaned closer to her, holding on to her waist. She struggled for a bit, then heard him whisper, “Enough, it’s time for bed.”
“Then sleep. Why are you hugging me?”
The weather wasn’t hot, but with the two of them hugging together, it felt like a furnace. Add to the fact that Ye Moxuan’s body temperature was higher than hers, it was a bit uncomfortable to hold one another.
Han Muzi struggled some more, then felt as if Ye Moxuan’s body temperature rose even higher. She was about to ask him what was wrong when she suddenly thought about something and blushed hotly. “You have so little self control?”
Behind her, Ye Moxuan’s breathing became heavier, and his voice was hoarse.
“I’m a hot-blooded male. You want me to control myself when I have the woman I love in my arms?” He leaned close to her ear and whispered, “It’s already a miracle I haven’t gobbled you all up.” Finishing his words, he deliberately gave her ear a nibble, causing Han Muzi to let out a yelp in surprise. Then, he held onto her using both his arms and legs. “Alright, time for bed. Anymore out of you and I’ll eat you up.”
Han Muzi was left wordless. Although feeling a bit put out, she still obediently closed her eyes.
In the darkness, not only were they physically close, but their hearts were also connected. Holding the person in his arm, Ye Moxuan’s felt uncomfortably warm, as if he was being burned by a fire. He knew that if he wanted to have relief, he just needed to let her go.
But he wasn’t willing to loosen his grip on the woman in his arms. He just wanted to keep on holding her. So, to him, this uncomfortable burning sensation was endearing yet painful. It was endearing that he could hold her to sleep, but it was painful that he could only hold her and not do anything more.
Sigh… The man gave a heavy sigh. He buried his face in the groove of her neck, greedily breathing in her scent.
“Ye Moxuan.” In the darkness, Han Muzi suddenly called out to him.
“Hmm?” a muffled voice answered from the groove of her neck.
Han Muzi looked at the faint moonlight shining through the window, thinking about the question in her heart. Biting her lower lip, she slowly opened her mouth, “I have a question I want to ask you. Will you answer me?”
The man behind her breathed deeply, as if restraining himself. It took a long time before she heard his hoarse voice. “What is it?”
“You told me that I am the only woman in your life. But that day, you said that there was another one before me.”
She could feel him stiffen behind her before she finished her words, as if he was getting nervous. He even held his breath.
Han Muzi was taken aback. Is he getting nervous? Although it was amusing, she could only hold back her laughter, her eyes full of mirth. “What are you getting nervous about?”
The person behind her was silent for a long time. “What would you like to know?”
“I want to know… That person before me, was it 5 years ago?”
Ye Moxuan gave a snicker. “You silly girl. If not 5 years ago, then do you mean 5 years in the future?”
Oh, right. She had forgotten about this.
She gave an awkward pout, then asked, “When was it 5 years ago? Do you still remember? What day was it? What time was it? And how about the location? Do you remember what she looked like? And…”
She asked several questions in a row, but the person behind her was as silent as a grave.
