“They sure know how to find an easy target. They wouldn’t come to your office, but they’re blocking the entrance of my company. Does that mean from now on I have to go to your office every day?”
Surprisingly, Ye Moxuan thought this might be a good idea. He nodded in agreement. “Yes, I don’t mind that.”
Han Muzi responded, “But I mind! A lot! I have my career, and I need to work!”
Ye Moxuan would never really want her to be at the office every day just to be with him. She had been working extremely hard for the past five years, so her career meant the world to her. As much as he would like to spend time with her every day, he knew full well that when two people were together, they still needed their own space. If this relationship would cost her the job that she loved, he would not feel very good about it.
“Don’t worry. If you don’t like it, I will ask Xiao Su to take care of the situation.”
Since Ye Moxuan had put it this way, it meant that he had already had it under control, so she should be able to go to work in peace. But Little Bean…
“By the way, about Little Bean… have you made any arrangements?”
“The media still has no idea about him yet, but… I have thought about it already. At a later stage, I will make arrangements to take care of his safety.”
“If Little Bean is hurt because of this, I will never forgive you!”
This made Ye Moxuan frown. “What did you just say?”
“What?”
“You will never forgive me because of Little Bean? Is he more important than me?”
Han Muzi did not know what to say. She felt she did not understand what he meant by that. She looked up at Ye Moxuan, and he was also earnestly looking at her. He did not seem like he was joking. Han Muzi felt as if she was choked, as it took her awhile before she could continue her question. “You are not jealous of your own son, are you?”
Though he was exposed, Ye Moxuan did not get upset. “I am his father, so how is he more important than me? That’s not fair.”
Again, Han Muzi was rendered speechless. He was actually competing with his own son. Han Muzi felt she could not continue this discussion with him, so she decided to put her head down to eat her food and ignore him. What else could she say if he was even jealous of his son? What else can I say?
She thought that as long as she stopped responding to this conversation, this incident would eventually pass. Who knew that after the meal, as they got in the car, Ye Moxuan would be frowning the whole time. During the whole car ride, he looked like he was bothered by something.
Han Muzi did not know what happened to him, but she felt that whatever happened earlier was already a thing of the past, so he was probably not bothered by that. She decided to just sit back.
Looking at the buildings outside the car window going backward as the car was moving, Han Muzi felt tired again. She yawned and then told Ye Moxuan, “Let me get some rest. Wake me up when we get there.”
Ye Moxuan moved his lips and looked at her, feeling conflicted. Seeing her closing her eyes immediately after she finished speaking, he decided to not utter the words that almost came out. How could Little Bean be more important than me?
Was that because he had been around her for five years? Ye Moxuan never thought that one day he would be jealous of his own son. Even though he knew that Little Bean was his offspring, the thought that Little Bean ranked higher than him in Han Muzi’s heart did not sit well with him.
D*mn it! And still, the little brat won’t call me ‘daddy’! Since Little Bean occupied an important place in Muzi’s heart, if he decided to speak ill of Ye Moxuan to Muzi, would that not completely ruin his image?
The more Ye Moxuan thought about it, the more he felt threatened. He then decided to drop Han Muzi off at Seabay Villa before leaving work early to pick up Little Bean himself.
After Han Muzi woke up, she realized she was already back in Seabay Villa while Ye Moxuan was nowhere to be seen. She took out her phone and found a text on WeChat from Ye Moxuan, telling her to get some rest and that he would be picking Little Bean up from school.
This text had put Han Muzi at ease. She then put down her phone and continued sleeping. Since she would not be able to be back in the office for these two days, she might as well wait until the whole situation was taken care of before attending to her work. Furthermore, she was exhausted. She fell back asleep in no time.
…
At the school, a vibrant looking limousine was parked at the entrance.
Little Bean went to an expensive private school in North City, where the teachers would see countless wealthy people every day. However, Ye Moxuan’s car, and the moment he got out of the car, still made them gasp in awe. Not just the teachers. Even the parents who were there.
Everyone knew about the Ye Group of North City and Ye Moxuan of the Ye Group, though more often than not they would only hear about it or read about it in the magazines. It was almost impossible for them to see the real person.
Thus, it was unexpected to see him at the school entrance, so everyone was wondering if he came to pick up his child.
Even though everyone knew Ye Moxuan was about to marry the daughter of the Han Group, Han Muzi, they did not know that he had a child. Therefore, when he was seen at the school entrance, everyone was surprised. Does he have a child already?
When Little Bean came out and saw that it was Ye Moxuan who was picking him up today, he let out a sigh of disapproval and stood stationary while still carrying his bag. He did not want to go forward. He stood there as if that little body of his was waiting for Ye Moxuan to walk toward him.
Ye Moxuan was here to pick Little Bean up; besides that, he was here to make him happy. After all… up to this point, Little Bean still would not call him ‘daddy’. This indicated that he was still not up to Little Bean’s standards. If he made any mistakes from now on, he reckoned Little Bean would completely disqualify him from being his father. What if Little Bean went up to Muzi later and complained to her about him…
Ye Moxuan felt that this was a concerning issue. He then waved at Little Bean to ask him to come over. Who knew Little Bean would just stand there—reluctant to move.
Everyone was staring at Ye Moxuan and not the child, who looked exactly like him.
Ye Moxuan and Little Bean stared at each other for a while before Ye Moxuan involuntarily walked toward Little Bean and kneeled before him. “Let’s go, Little Bean. Daddy is here to bring you home.”
“Ah!” Someone in the crowd screamed, “Everyone, look! The face of that child…”
Finally, everyone’s attention shifted from Ye Moxuan’s face to the child, and their eyes widened when they realized he was practically a miniature of Ye Moxuan.
“I-Is he Ye Moxuan’s son? Why does he look exactly like him?”
“Alas, how is it possible for two people to look that alike? Apart from him being his son, there is no better explanation.”
“But, when did Young Master Ye have a son? Didn’t you hear? Rumor has it that he has been abstaining himself from women.”
“I’ve only heard that Young Master Ye married a daughter from the Shen Family five years ago, but it seems like that woman was not presentable, so no one has ever seen her.”
