After she saw that Ye Moxuan was silent again, Han Muzi felt disappointed and smiled bitterly. “I’ve given you three days. Isn’t it enough for you to think it through? Did you think that such matters are more important than us being together?”
Ye Moxuan pursed his lips and stared at her.
Han Muzi took out her phone and passed it to him immediately. “If you can’t get past this, then we—”
“What are you going to say?” His cold voice stopped her mid-sentence.
She raised her head and saw that he had a cruel yet sullen expression to him.
Han Muzi smiled nonchalantly and said in a light tone, “You should be very clear about what I want to say. For the past few days, I didn’t come looking for you because I want to give you some space for you to think without any interruptions. After three days, if you haven’t thought it through, I don’t think you need to do that anymore. First, there’s something I want to make clear to you: I am the one who gave birth to Little Bean. Even though you are his biological father, you can’t take him away.”
Ye Moxuan frowned and looked at her with anger in his eyes. “I beg your pardon?” This woman wants to break up with me?
Even though his expression was fierce, Han Muzi did not try to avoid him and instead looked at him straight in the eyes. “Was I wrong? Throughout the last five years, you have not carried out any responsibilities as a father. You don’t even have the right to be his father!”
Ye Moxuan was silent upon hearing that. His dark pupils dilated out of agitation. After a while, he laughed out of anger. “So, you gave me three days so that I can have my personal space to think. And now you’re here to break up with me? Have you even thought about the consequences, though?”
Han Muzi did not answer him and bit her own lip. She was not here to break up with him. She just wanted to come over to visit him and hear his thoughts. However, she also felt aggrieved upon seeing his stony behavior. For the past three days, he had not given her a call. It was as if he had disappeared. What about me? Is he the only one who feels that he is the victim? Does he think that I don’t have any emotions at all? After all these events, he’s not the only person in the dark. I only learned about this after giving birth to Little Bean, and since then, I have slowly accepted it.
Tears flooded Han Muzi’s eyes, but she returned to her senses and turned around so that her back was facing Ye Moxuan as she didn’t want him to see her.
“Indeed, I have already thought about it. Since you can’t handle this, then forget it. For the past five years, I have been doing perfectly fine on my own. Initially, I didn’t even want to be with you again. If not for—argh!”
Before she finished her sentence, Ye Moxuan’s huge hand grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. He said fiercely, “So, you’re saying that I have been forcing you all along?”
He froze when he saw her clear, beautiful eyes that were full of tears, which caused all the defense that he had built to collapse. “You—”
She’s… crying? Just like this? On top of that, she even looks so miserable. Is… it really like what Xiao Su has said? The person who suffers the most… is her?
Ye Moxuan felt as if something sharp had pierced through his heart and suffocated him. However, she pushed him away before he could even react.
“You are the one who has been forcing me all this while. You are the one who appeared in front of me. I didn’t ask for you to follow me around! Even when I went abroad, you drove me to the airport. Without even asking for my consent, you acknowledged Little Bean as your child just like that, and without giving me a heads up, you just ignored me! Y-You…” Feeling agitated, Han Muzi could no longer hold her tears back.
Without knowing why, Ye Moxuan stretched out his hand to catch her tears.
The tears burned his palm as if they were scorching hot and he felt the pain as well.
In fact, Han Muzi seldom cried. In front of him, even if she felt like crying, she would not let herself shed any tears and her eyes would only turn red. However, at this moment, at this very moment, her eyes were red and raw with tears rolling down her face like a waterfall.
As such, Ye Moxuan felt sorry for her. He bit his teeth and said quite helplessly, “Stop crying, okay?”
When it came to emotions, it was difficult to suddenly turn off one’s feelings like a switch. She had already cried in front of him and his words, even though he tried to comfort her, only made her tears fall down even more.
She did not want to cry in front of him. After all, she had already made her decision, but she could not control herself in the end and this created an illusion that she did not want him to go. Nevertheless, she was not able to control her feelings well.
Out of surprise and anger, she tried her best to avoid his gaze and wanted to shove him away. However, he was a step faster; before she got away from him, he bent down to kiss her.
Han Muzi widened her red, swollen eyes and was at her wits’ end.
Ye Moxuan did not kiss her lips. Instead, his cool lips fell on her cheeks as he kissed her tears away.
Han Muzi stood rooted to the ground. What is wrong with this person suddenly? He has already ignored me for so long yet he is kissing my tears off after watching me cry?
She felt quite nervous and wanted to push him away. But as if he had already known what she was going to do, he caught her hands and placed it on his chest.
Thump! Thump! Han Muzi’s palm felt the thumping of his heart.
Thump! Thump! She felt each thump of his heart through her palms.
Before she understood what Ye Moxuan had been doing, his lips suddenly moved to her eyelids and she closed her eyes in shock.
Kisses as light as feathers fell on her eyelids as Ye Moxuan held her face with his hands and used his thumb to wipe the tears off her cheeks. It was only after a long time that he retreated. Then, he leaned his forehead against hers and looked at her deeply in the eyes.
“For the past three days, even though I was furious, I have never even thought about breaking up with you. Yet, the first thing you mention is to break up with me. Han Muzi, you are cruel indeed.”
Under his profound gaze, Han Muzi blinked nervously. “S-Seeing how you acted, I thought you wanted to break up, so I just fulfilled your wishes.”
Ye Moxuan’s expression darkened when he heard that and he narrowed his eyes dangerously. “I wanted to break up?”
“Wasn’t it so? If I didn’t come to find you, would you do that first?”
His kisses had probably taken their effect as Han Muzi had completely forgotten about her tears and just wanted to argue with him now.
“Who said that I wouldn’t come looking for you?”
“In that case, why did you continue walking even after hearing my voice?”
When she brought this up, Ye Moxuan went silent. He did not possess the courage to tell her that he had missed her so much for the past few days that hearing her voice made him think that he was hallucinating.
“You’ve said it yourself that I’m the one who took the initiative to follow you around shamelessly. How would I ever have thought that you would come to me one day?”
