Not only that, he also bought gifts. He’s just standing there waiting while I’m… As Han Muzi thought about the scene, she started to feel bad. She bit on her lower lip while she thought on whether to tell Ye Moxuan the truth when meeting him later.
But… what will happen if I tell him? According to his temperament, will he suddenly get mad and ignore me after? Han Muzi felt a headache as she rubbed her forehead with a helpless face.
“Was that call from your boyfriend?” The driver glanced at her while trying to have a chat with her.
Han Muzi didn’t have the drive anymore, so she nodded listlessly.
“I can see that your boyfriend is pretty concerned about you, but we can’t do anything about this traffic.”
“Yes.”
Han Muzi really didn’t have the drive to talk to him, so the driver didn’t bother her again. The car slowly moved forward while stopping intermittently, which made her feel impatient. Subsequently, she leaned on the door to rest her eyes.
After some time, she actually fell asleep, but she was later woken up by the driver’s voice. “We’re almost there.”
Han Muzi had a look outside the window and realized the buildings around were starting to look familiar. She then rubbed her eyes and saw that it was dark around. The car then moved forward smoothly as it gradually approached the residential community.
Far away, she could see a tall and handsome figure standing right at the gate, drawing a lot of attention.
It was already dead in the night, so the street lamps by the entrance were lit. That figure was standing not far from the gate while his shadow was extended by the street lamps. The dim yellow lights cast a layer of brightness on Ye Moxuan while also giving his silhouette an even more gentle look.
As Han Muzi was witnessing the scene, she suddenly felt a twinge in her nose.
She pursed her lips while waiting for the car to stop. After that, she opened the car door and walked toward Ye Moxuan.
Hearing a commotion, the side of the handsome man’s face twitched before he turned his head in her direction.
After seeing her, a glimmer appeared in his once black eyes. Before Han Muzi could come up to him, Ye Moxuan had already walked to her front, and he held on to her slightly cold hands.
“Ye—” Han Muzi could only say a word before being dragged inside the community area by Ye Moxuan. She couldn’t react in time, but mostly because of the guilt in her heart, she could only follow him from behind. She then lowered her head to look at their steps and shadows while her mind drifted.
When they entered the elevator, Ye Moxuan didn’t say anything to her as he stood there with a stern face. Han Muzi could feel the frosty aura he was emmiting, and also… anger. She then bit her lower lip while allowing him to grab tight on her arm because she didn’t know what else to say.
Until they came out of the elevator with Han Muzi being dragged out by him, she couldn’t hold back anymore and lifted her head. “Ye Moxuan, I—”
Before she could finish, the man in front of him turned over and pinned her against the wall behind, then he came pressing down. “Umm…” Han Muzi’s vision went black while her lips were sealed.
Ye Moxuan’s unhesitantly landed his kiss on her. His burning lips kept on pressing on hers as his huge hand locked on to her fine waist while the other was pinching her chin to pry her lips apart.
After Han Muzi returned to her senses, she whimpered while trying to push him away. Nevertheless, it was better to stay stationary because her slight movements triggered Ye Moxuan to press his body down even further. She could feel her back being squeezed while her thin shirt wasn’t able to block her from the coldness of the wall.
There was a huge contrast between the coldness behind her and heat in front. The man’s kiss was violent and assertive, which invaded her to a point where she had nowhere to hide.
A while later, he slowly backed his lips away and was panting heavily against her forehead. His breath and cold eyes made him look like a ferocious panther. “I’ll give you a chance to come clean. Where did you go?”
Han Muzi felt the pain of his kiss on her lips. After being asked by him, she instantly lowered her eyes in guilt. Actually, she wanted to come clean with him, but before she could even talk, she was dragged upstairs by him and pressed against the wall to kiss.
Before she said anything, he was already filled with rage. If I actually say the truth, will he… kill me for it? Thinking about it, Han Muzi was dispirited as she didn’t dare to resist Ye Moxuan.
“Are you going to tell me?” Ye Moxuan exerted more force on her chin. Although it was strong, it didn’t hurt at all. However, it was enough to lift Han Muzi’s head. There was still a sense of loss in the eyes of the woman he just kissed while her red lips bulged. He ate up most of her lipstick, but there were still some left on the corners of her lips, which made her look even more charming.
Han Muzi stared at him blankly. “Will you be mad if I tell you?”
Ye Moxuan paused and spoke in a husky voice, “It depends.”
It depends… Which means he may still get angry. Han Muzi grinded her teeth and pleaded softly, “I will tell you if you promise me that you won’t get mad.”
Listening to her words, Ye Moxuan squinted his eyes with dangerous intent as he raised his eyebrows toward the woman in front of him. “Are you threatening me?”
“Can you promise me?”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless. Han Muzi would rarely look at him with this kind of expression. There was already a sense of loss in it, but now, there was also a sense of imploring and carefulness, paired with her face that looked as if she was afraid of offending him. That expression and look…
Ye Moxuan gulped as his voice became even more hoarse. “Fine. I promise you.” He was willing to give up his life for her, so there was nothing he couldn’t promise her.
“You really promise me?” Han Muzi couldn’t believe him, so she double-confirmed. “Then don’t be mad when I tell you. I… met Ye Linhan…”
Upon the mention of that name, Han Muzi felt the temperature of the man in front of her drop.
She quickly reminded him, “You said that you wouldn’t get angry. Don’t break your promise.”
Hearing her words, Ye Moxuan could only calm himself down and glance at her. “Then what happened?”
“Then… he looked sick, so I called the ambulance and sent him to the hospital.”
At this point, Ye Moxuan was so angry that he smiled sarcastically. “So you accompanied him to the hospital?”
She shook her head in panic. “I didn’t accompany him. I called a cab and followed from behind. After all, he collapsed in front of me. I couldn’t do nothing, could I? But I can assure you that if it was a stranger who collapsed on the ground today, I would’ve still visited him at the hospital, never mind…”
Speaking of this, she hesitated for a second. Ye Moxuan squinted his eyes. “Never mind what?”
“Never mind him, whom I know. If I didn’t even go to have a look at him, then… that wouldn’t be nice, right?”
“You’re nobody to him. Even if you didn’t visit him, he still couldn’t hold it against you. Nobody has the right to judge you for it.”
“But I actually saw him collapsing in front of me. I just couldn’t leave him alone. Can you understand my intentions?”
