The same night. When Ye Moxuan was sleeping, he was holding her tight in his arms. His huge arms were like heavy chains locked around her waist. She was trapped in his embrace; there was no way Han Muzi could get away.
Even though fall was already here, being in this stuffy house and embraced by Ye Moxuan in bed in such a way did feel somewhat suffocating. Especially since this man’s body temperature was much higher than hers. It was like she was in between a group of fireballs.
Han Muzi was suffocating. She had to use her hands to move his arms that were around her waist away while she said in a low voice, “Can you please loosen your grip; I can barely breathe.”
A heavy wheeze came from behind and a warm breath was blown on the back of her neck. Han Muzi could feel Ye Moxuan’s thin lips coming closer. “Liar. I am not even using any strength; why would you be unable to breathe?”
Being exposed by him, Han Muzi felt helpless. But she did indeed feel that sleeping in someone’s arms was too difficult as it was suffocating.
“You are not me; how do you know you’re not using any strength?”
“Oh?” Ye Moxuan chuckled. “Shall we switch?”
“Huh?”
“I’ll sleep in your arms then.”
Han Muzi remained speechless. Are you kidding me?
Sleep in my arms? He’s thinking too much. Han Muzi was disgusted by him in her heart for a moment and disagreed with him. “Dream on.”
“Why? Didn’t you say that I wasn’t you and wouldn’t know how you felt? Let’s switch to find out.”
“Look who’s talking. In reality, you just want to take advantage of me.”
After saying that, Han Muzi felt a momentary silence behind her. A few moments later, she again felt that the temperature was rising on Ye Moxuan’s body, and the surrounding air had also become stuffy.
Han Muzi could not help but complain, “Why is your body so warm?”
“You don’t know?”
Han Muzi frowned and tried to move her body around, but once she moved, she could feel the change in Ye Moxuan’s body. At that moment, she dared not move anymore and instead just lay there.
“You…”
The deep and hoarse voice came from behind, and it was like red wine passing through one’s throat—full of seduction. “Now, do you know?”
Han Muzi closed her eyes and calmed herself down before she yelled, “B*stard!”
“Sleep tight.” Ye Moxuan grabbed her waist with little strength, but that made Han Muzi want to run away. “If you are not tired, we can exercise to help us fall asleep.”
His enormous hand moved slowly along her waist, and this greatly startled Han Muzi. She quickly pressed against his hand that was crossing the line, and said, “No can do. I am really tired. I’m going to sleep now.” After saying that, Han Muzi closed her eyes, feeling extremely upset.
B*stard. He did that on purpose.
If she let him do something to her, based on previous accounts, she would not be getting any sleep tonight and would probably not be able to go to work tomorrow. Let’s just sleep… Sleep. Yes!
Han Muzi closed her eyes and tried hard to make herself fall asleep, but the body temperature of the person behind her was astonishingly high. She disdainfully complained about him in her heart for a few moments before gradually falling asleep.
All the while, Ye Moxuan never once stopped hugging her. He certainly knew how grumpy the person in his arms was, but… after around five minutes, the breathing of the person in his arms started to get even and quiet. Ye Moxuan lowered his head and looked at her and realized that Han Muzi had already fallen asleep. Just like that?
Ye Moxuan forced a smile on his lips. This woman was really cold and heartless—why could she not be more considerate of him? However, he was the one who wanted to cuddle her and bring trouble to himself. As such, he simply could not blame her. He lay there for a few more moments before he got up and headed to the bathroom.
He took a cold shower for more than ten minutes to cool his temperature down. He then went back to lie down beside Han Muzi and continued hugging her to sleep. But this time around, he did not try to hug her too tightly.
The next day, it was already bright out when Han Muzi woke up. While she was still in a buzz, her hand subconsciously went underneath the pillow to feel for her phone, but it wasn’t there.
Huh? Han Muzi was slightly confused and continued to search underneath the pillow. However, she still couldn’t find anything.
She lifted her head and saw that the phone was stowed on the cabinet next to the bed. When Han Muzi was about to reach for it and lifted her waist, a strong resisting force pulled her back.
“Why are you up so early?” Ye Moxuan just woke up, and his voice was still kind of hoarse. “Let’s get a little more sleep.”
“No.” Han Muzi pushed his hands away. “I need to get to work. Look at the sky; it’s not early anymore.”
“Did you forget?”
“Huh?”
“Today is Sunday. You don’t have to go to work.”
Han Muzi remained silent. Is it really Sunday today? She did some calculations and realized that he was right. Time indeed flew by.
She was still feeling tired, and after hearing that it was Sunday, she peacefully went back to sleep. This continued until noontime. When Han Muzi woke up, Ye Moxuan, who was next to her earlier, was nowhere to be seen.
She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and stared at the big blue ocean outside her window. Waking up to this view every day could really improve one’s mood. However, this was probably because she and Ye Moxuan had once again got back together, so… that made everything beautiful.
Five years ago, she had lived here for a considerable amount of time so she had a rough idea about the facilities available here. As such, after Han Muzi woke up, she headed straight to the bathroom to freshen up.
Probably because of the sound of her freshening up, somebody came knocking on the door. “Young Lady, are you up?”
Han Muzi spat out the toothpaste in her mouth, rinsed her mouth, and responded, “Uh-huh.”
“Lunch is ready. I will be out here waiting for you, Young Lady.”
Han Muzi acknowledged it and quickly got ready. She did not want others to wait for her too long so she put everything away very quickly and simply put her hair up before opening the bedroom door.
Standing in front of her was a completely new servant. All the previous familiar faces were no longer here. She was startled and felt a little disappointed. She thought… she might be able to see some familiar faces. Who knew after five years, so much had changed. Or maybe, they have all found something better.
“Young Lady, please come with me.”
Han Muzi nodded and started following her while asking, “Where is Ye Moxuan?”
Hearing how Han Muzi called Ye Moxuan directly by his name, the servant was surprised. But seeing how she was able to be brought back to Seabay Villa, and Young Master Ye had instructed her to address her as Young Lady, it didn’t seem strange now that she was calling Young Master Ye by his name.
The servant stayed calm and whispered in response, “Young Lady, Young Master Ye is waiting for you outside.”
Tsk. This person, who asked me to marry him last night, is so insincere that he can’t even inform me himself that lunch is ready?
However, she did not complain about these things to the servant; instead, she merely followed behind her, making one turn after another. Soon, she had arrived at the destination.
