Since he had already placed the phone with the order page in front of her, Han Muzi decided not to put it off anymore. She took the phone over and had a look at it. Initially, she did not feel that hungry, but as she was going through the menu, she realized there were many things that she wanted to eat.
Han Muzi picked a number of them. After putting the order in, she realized she might have ordered a little too much, so she embarrassingly returned the phone to Ye Moxuan. “That’s all.”
Since he was still holding her, the whole time the phone was in her hands, Ye Moxuan was watching her. When she returned the phone to him, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “Just these few? Will that be enough?”
Han Muzi was immediately agitated. She responded, “Do you think I am a pig? We already have more than enough.”
Ye Moxuan lowered his head and smiled. His lean fingers swiped across the phone screen and added a few more. After that, he placed the order for delivery.
After they had done that, Han Muzi continued to stay in Ye Moxuan’s arms. “Are you done with your meeting?”
Talking about the meeting reminded Ye Moxuan of the few hours she had waited for him here. He pursed his lips and said, “Next time, you don’t have to wait at all whenever you come and find me.”
Han Muzi responded, “Even if you are in a meeting? Wouldn’t I be interrupting the meeting—”
Before she could finish the sentence, Ye Moxuan suddenly lowered his head and blew his warm breath into her ear. “Nothing is more important than you.”
This guy… Ever since the proposal, he had been good at sweet-talking. Though that was what he said, Han Muzi still felt that if he was busy the next time she visited, she would not go in and interrupt him while he was at work. After all, she was not a needy person. She was not the kind of person who would demand that the other person immediately put down everything that they were doing to accompany her. She was not pigheaded, and she would never be this headstrong.
Love should mean mutual tolerance and understanding. Ye Moxuan and her had come a long way, so she had to cherish and take care of him.
The takeout they ordered arrived quickly. Shortly after, Xiao Su was already bringing the food up to the office. He gently knocked on the lounge door and said, “Young Master Ye, the food that you and Young Lady Ye ordered is here. I will leave them on the table.”
“Sure.” Ye Moxuan responded softly. He stood up and carried Han Muzi in his arms.
“Why are you carrying me? It’s just a few steps. I can walk there myself.”
Ye Moxuan smiled. “You seem to still be in a daze from your nap. It’s better if I just carried you there; otherwise, it would be horrible if you fell.”
Han Muzi did not know how to respond. How would she fall if she was just walking normally?
“Just admit that you wanted to carry me. Don’t use any nonsensical excuses,” Han Muzi mumbled.
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan immediately paused. He looked at her with his sharp eyes. Feeling embarrassed, Han Muzi quickly evaded his eyes. “Let’s go get our food.”
“You said earlier…”
“I didn’t say anything earlier.” Han Muzi closed her eyes as she no longer wanted to look him in the eyes. She then heard Ye Moxuan chuckle. It was a chuckle that sounded like he was going to let that go and continue walking.
Ye Moxuan was a germaphobe, so his office had always been extremely clean and tidy. The moment they stepped outside, they immediately saw two enormous bags sitting on the table. She looked around and seemingly found no spot where they could eat. She then commented, “Should we bring them back to the lounge? You are such a germaphobe, so it may not be best for us to eat here.”
Perhaps the office had always been too clean, so one little stain in this place would feel like blasphemy.
Ye Moxuan put her down and carried the two enormous bags with him. He then held her hand and walked toward the lounge. There was a table and some chairs. It was the perfect spot. And the office was definitely not the best place to eat.
Before they started eating, Han Muzi went to the bathroom to wash her face to freshen up. When she came out of the bathroom, Ye Moxuan had already laid everything out on the table.
Han Muzi sat down in front of the table, and before she picked up the chopsticks, there came an unusually greasy smell. She immediately felt that her stomach was churning, and it was going all the way up to her brain.
Han Muzi began to feel nauseous, so she reflexively covered her mouth with her hands and stormed into the bathroom.
Bam!
Ye Moxuan was just about to take some food for her before seeing her cover her mouth and run into the bathroom with a pale look on her face. He noticed that something was wrong, so he quickly followed her.
After closing the bathroom door, Han Muzi was leaning on the sink while she threw up. Nothing really came out and that made her feel extremely unwell.
Hearing Ye Moxuan calling for her outside the bathroom, Han Muzi tidied herself up and opened the door.
“Are you feeling unwell?” Seeing that her face had turned somewhat pale, Ye Moxuan immediately frowned and went up to her to grab her by her hand. “Let’s go to the hospital.”
Han Muzi shook her head. “There’s no need to go to the hospital. I was just feeling a little nauseous.”
“What’s going on?”
“I might have smelled something extremely greasy… and that made me nauseous,” Han Muzi responded, before looking at everything on the table. “Now I feel like… having something bland.”
Ye Moxuan was confused. He kept quiet for a moment before giving Xiao Su a call to ask him to come over and get rid of the food. Later on, he took Han Muzi with him to leave the office.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Han Muzi pondered for a few moments. “I feel like having vegetarian food. Is that okay?”
“Whatever you like. Of course.” Ye Moxuan then took her to a vegetarian restaurant where Han Muzi excitedly ordered quite a few dishes. This time around, she no longer had a nauseous feeling while eating.
As she gradually looked better, the anxiety that Ye Moxuan had slowly faded away. He initially planned on bringing her to the hospital to see if there was anything wrong with her body, but now it seemed like what happened earlier was merely because the food was not to her taste.
While the two were eating, Ye Moxuan felt a ray of cold light flash across from the corner of his eyes. He quickly threw a sharp gaze at the windows and met the eyes of a person who was secretly taking pictures of them.
Knowing that he was caught, the person froze for a moment and quietly left with his camera in his hands.
“What’s going on? Why are you not eating? Is it not nice?”
Han Muzi’s voice brought Ye Moxuan back to his senses. He looked at Han Muzi, who was worriedly staring at him. “I had this sudden craving for vegetarian food and I didn’t consider if you liked them or not. Do you…”
“It’s fine. I am not picky. I can eat whatever.”
“Oh.” She thought about the scrolling billboards and decided to talk to Ye Moxuan about it. “By the way, about those posters… Can we take them down? If they continue to stay there… It feels too high-profile.”
Ye Moxuan smiled gorgeously. “That’s the whole point of it. I am letting everyone know that you are going to be married to me. Why? Are you not happy that everyone is envious of you?”
It was not that she was unhappy; it was just that if it continued this way, she would no longer be able to go to work like a normal person…
