“Hi.” Duanmu Zhe suddenly raised his hand and greeted Han Muzi.
Han Muzi was stunned for a moment. This person’s eyes are kind, but the one next to him…
Han Muzi and Duanmu Xue looked at each other, and saw a strong hostility radiating from her eyes.
For some reason, Han Muzi suddenly had a hunch that this woman was the one who answered her phone that night and said that Ye Moxuan was taking a bath.
She’s wearing glamorous clothes, while I…
Han Muzi’s eyes paused, then the corners of her lips curled up.
“Don’t be so quick to chase them away. Since they are here, you might as well act as a good host.”
“Muzi?” Ye Moxuan asked.
He frowned and couldn’t figure out what Han Muzi was thinking. Why did she want him to play host to the two siblings?
“I’ll go freshen up.” Han Muzi drew the coat tightly to herself and smiled at Ye Moxuan before she turned around and entered the room.
After Han Muzi entered the room, she quickly threw away Ye Moxuan’s coat and went into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, then put on her clothes and makeup on as quickly as possible.
Making sure that her makeup was perfect, Han Muzi pulled her long hair back, then got up and walked outside.
Pushing the door open again, she saw that the Duanmu siblings were sitting on the sofa.
Duanmu Zhe’s posture was languid, with a teacup on his lap, his expression seemed indifferent. Hearing her entering, he instantly looked toward Han Muzi.
With just a glance, Duanmu Zhe’s eyes gained a stunned look, and he said, “Xue, I think you should give up.”
Hearing this, Duanmu Xue straightened her waist. “Why should I give up? Moxuan is not married yet, so I still have a chance.”
When Ye Moxuan saw Han Muzi come out, he noticed that she had changed her skirt and put on makeup, and had placed special care on her makeup.
He felt that he now understood what she was getting at.
A faint hint of amusement flashed across his eyes. Ye Moxuan remained sitting and when he saw Han Muzi walking up to his side, he naturally raised his hand and offered the seat next to him.
Duanmu Xue had been watching Han Muzi, so it was obvious to her that she had gone in to freshen up and apply makeup. Although she had spent a relatively short time, she has dressed up well.
After thinking about it, Duanmu Xue straightened her waist again and looked at Han Muzi with a smile.
“Young miss, were you in such a hurry to clean yourself up because you were afraid of losing to me?”
Just as Han Muzi sat down beside Ye Moxuan, she heard her sentence.
She froze for a moment, then looked at Duanmu Xue.
Duanmu Xue was wearing a suit skirt, with bright red lipstick, and her curly hair made her look imposing.
As for Han Muzi, she changed into a light-blue dress today; the clear, bright color made her fair skin look crystal clear, seemingly flawless. Covered with soft blue silk and simple makeup, she completed her outlook with a fuchsia lipstick.
Han Muzi, who was sitting next to Ye Moxuan, almost merged with him.
Ye Moxuan’s powerful presence enveloped the gentle Han Muzi.
Han Muzi leaned slightly against Ye Moxuan, her lips curled slightly up at just the right angle.
“I don’t quite understand what you mean. I had just woken up before, so I wasn’t dressed appropriately for guests. You think that I went back to dress up to compete with you? Do you usually dress up in pajamas when you have guests at home?”
Duanmu Xue paused, watching as Han Muzi’s eyes became serious.
It seemed that this woman was not someone who was easy to deal with. When she took a look at Duanmu Zhe and realized that he was enjoying the show, she wanted to give him a vicious kick.
But Ye Moxuan was in front of her, so she resisted the impulse, and said slowly, “Of course not. The Duanmu Family pays much attention to etiquette and appearances.”
“But…” Duanmu Xue glanced at her, then set her gaze on Ye Moxuan.
“Even if you come out in pajamas, I wouldn’t mind. After all, I came here for Moxuan.”
Hearing this, Han Muzi wasn’t annoyed. Instead, she smiled and hooked Ye Moxuan’s arm.
“If that’s the case, then I need to formally freshen up so that I don’t embarrass him.”
Ye Moxuan felt the movement of her hand, and he met her beautiful eyes. After understanding her meaning, Ye Moxuan nodded in agreement.
“Only I can see you without your makeup on.”
After he finished speaking, he touched the corners of her lips with his finger, and wiped it lightly. His fingertip was stained with a bit of color, and then he moved his finger to his lips to taste it, and his thin lips curled up.
“You used a peach-flavored lipstick for today?”
The smile on Han Muzi’s lips froze.
The smile had disappeared on Duanmu Xue’s face. Seeing what Ye Moxuan did, she couldn’t keep it in any longer as her hands on her lap clenched tightly together.
Was this man, who is acting so tenderly now, the same man as the one who was worried that he might come into contact with her and wrapped her in a quilt and threw her out of the room roughly last time?
Why was there such a big difference between them? When he was in front of her, he acted like a frozen glacier. But when he was in front of that woman…
Duanmu Xue discretely bit her lower lip, then heard her brother next to her give her a reminder.
“Let me just remind you that if you give up now, you won’t have lost too much face.”
“Shut up,” Duanmu Xue reprimanded in a low voice. “I finally fell in love with someone. You said you would help me, and now you are telling me to retreat?”
Duanmu Zhe sighed. “Yes, I did say that I would help you, but don’t you see? He only has eyes for that woman. You have no chance.”
“They are not married, so who says I don’t have a chance?” Duanmu Xue said angrily, for she was really jealous in her heart.
She could handle it if Ye Moxuan treated her a bit coldly, but seeing how much better he treated Han Muzi compared to how he treated herself really made her upset.
As soon as Duanmu Xue finished speaking, Ye Moxuan clasped Han Muzi’s shoulders tightly, and suddenly said, “By the way, we will be holding our wedding next month.”
The smile in Han Muzi’s eyes froze. She didn’t expect Ye Moxuan to suddenly say something like this.
She did agree to make up with him, but the two of them weren’t even close to getting married.
Why did he…
“What did you say?” Duanmu Xue couldn’t sit still anymore, and stood up quickly.
“The two of you are going to marry next month?”
Didn’t that mean that she only had a month left to make Moxuan hers?
She had planned on them splitting up!
“Is that so?” Then congratulations are in order. Do remember to invite us to the wedding.”
Duanmu Zhe’s reaction was completely different from his sister’s. He was still lying there with a languid look, even the smile on his lips was extremely casual.
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan sneered, “The Duanmu Family is very busy, so I don’t think an invitation would be necessary.”
“No, no, it’s fine. I’m the president of the Duanmu Family, so I actually have a lot of free time.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless.
This man is truly thick-skinned.
