Even though they arrived late in the evening, the maids had all woken up from their arrival. They quickly got up to clean up the room and welcomed Han Muzi and Little Bean to stay.
They had all known about the events that transpired recently, and they also saw how Han Muzi looked because the reporters had taken a shot of her.
She was on the front page at that time, wearing a wedding dress. Even though she was supposed to be beautiful, her face was pale as she stood in front of all the reporters frantically. She didn’t know what to do and she was being shoved by the others. She had even fallen down.
Even though the wedding didn’t go as planned, to them, as long as Ye Moxuan had decided that she was his forever, she would be the Young Lady of the Ye Family. Moreover, she even had a son with her, who was their Little Young Master.
“Young Lady, it’s not early now. Do rest with Little Young Master now.”
“I’m sorry for all the trouble. You guys can rest now as well.”
After the maids had left, only Little Bean and Han Muzi were left in the room.
It was a long time since they had last slept together on the same bed. Because of that, Little Bean was quite excited when he saw that they were sharing the same room again. He stood on his toes to tug on the hem of her shirt and said, “Mommy, it’s been a while since you held me to sleep. Can you do that tonight?”
Han Muzi touched his nose lightly. “Of course. In the future, let’s share the bed.”
“Thank you, Mommy!” Excited, Little Bean took the initiative to wear the pair of slippers to enter the bathroom. Before that, he even turned around to inform Han Muzi, “Mommy, I’m going to take a shower now!”
“Sure.” Han Muzi nodded. After seeing the bathroom door closed, she sat on the edge of the bed and stroked the bedsheet with her spirits getting low again.
That night, the two of them lay together on the bed. As if he was afraid that she was going to disappear, Little Bean grabbed her tightly and put his cheeks close to her to rub on her. Thinking about the events that had happened recently, Han Muzi said gently to Little Bean, “Little Bean, because Daddy recently has met with some unfortunate events, I’m very sad.”
In the darkness, Little Bean didn’t reply to her. Han Muzi then continued, “Because of this, I did not know how to face you before and I had no idea how to let you know all of this, so I could not video-call you. I made you cry miserably for this. The fault is mine this time. I’m sorry, Little Bean.”
“Okay,” Little Bean said gently before hugging her waist even tighter. “Oh, Mommy, I have already told you that I don’t mind. After all, you are my mommy! Apart from that, I’ve learned from TV shows that we should dote on women. Since you are not doing well emotionally, I’ll just forgive you.”
The more considerate Little Bean was, the more Han Muzi felt guilty. As a mother, she had been really irresponsible. Thinking of all the matters she had to handle tomorrow, Han Muzi only sighed.
“If you feel guilty about it, Mommy, just give me a kiss!” Little Bean sneaked closer to her and shook his head at her. “As long as you kiss me, I won’t be angry anymore!”
Han Muzi felt a warm feeling in her chest and lowered her head to kiss Little Bean’s forehead. “Let’s wait for your daddy to return.”
“Sure! Mommy, don’t worry. If there are any troubles, I will help you.”
Han Muzi only smiled and didn’t take his words seriously. After all, no matter how smart Little Bean was, he was only a four-year-old. He couldn’t be of much help to her.
“Sleep soon. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, Mommy!”
…
On the second day, Han Muzi got up on time and put on some makeup in front of the dressing table. It had been many days since she last put on any makeup. Ever since her bridal makeup was taken off, she had been just showing her bareskin.
She also had no mood to put on any makeup. However, today, it was different, as she knew that she was going to the Ye Group. If she arrived with such a haggard look, people would definitely laugh at her. She should at least put on some makeup to show herself some respect.
Thinking of this, Han Muzi looked into the mirror seriously and drew her eyeliner. After that, she curled her eyelashes before putting on mascara. Her actions were not too slow, but it was smooth. In no time, she had finished her makeup.
When she rose from the chair, she realized that Little Bean was still in bed. Seeing his look yesterday, he probably hadn’t slept well for a long time. After thinking about it, Han Muzi didn’t wake him up. Instead, she got up to change. She only opened the door and left after she changed her clothes.
The maids were already up before her and waited for her outside the door. When they saw her coming out, they said respectfully, “Young Lady, breakfast is ready.”
Han Muzi glanced at the time. The place was quite far from the Ye Group, and if she drove, the traffic would probably be quite heavy as it was peak hour for people to go to work.
“Thanks, but I have no time for breakfast today. When Little Bean gets up, please remind him to drink a glass of warm water first.”
“Sure, Young Lady. But are you really not taking any breakfast? It’s very unhealthy for your stomach, you know. Why don’t I make some oats for you to have on the way?”
Oats? After thinking about it, Han Muzi nodded. “Sure, thank you very much.”
The maid’s action was quite fast. In less than five minutes, she had brought Han Muzi a bottle of oats with the lid well covered so that she didn’t have to worry about spilling the contents. On top of that, she even prepared a set of sandwiches for her. The maid smiled shyly. “Young Lady, have a safe journey.”
Han Muzi thanked her and took the bag of food to the garage. Her car was still here, so it was quite convenient as she didn’t have to ask anyone to take it for her.
When she drove out of the villa, a few guards couldn’t help themselves as they got together to discuss this quietly.
“Where is the Young Lady heading early in the morning? Is she going to the company to work?”
“Hmm. Judging by her looks, it doesn’t seem like it. Have you guys seen the news? Old Master Ye… came out of retirement.”
“What?” Everyone was surprised to hear that. “I thought Old Master Ye had always been in the care home? I heard that he wasn’t doing quite well mentally. Why did he suddenly come out of retirement?”
“Well, you know very well what has happened to Young Master Ye. Old Master Ye didn’t do this earlier, but just at this juncture when something happened to Young Maser Ye. What is happening between all these events are really unknown.” The person who replied to him paused for a while before saying, “Forget it. It’s not something that people like us would know. Let’s stop guessing wildly.”
“Oh, do you think that Young Lady is going to the company?”
Indeed, Han Muzi went to the company because Su Jiu told her a piece of accurate information that Ye Linhan was going to reenter the Ye Group after he fetched Old Master Ye out from the care home. Since he had no shares, he had to ask Old Master Ye to support him.
There was an internal meeting at Ye Group today. About the content of the meeting, everyone already knew about it. Hence, Han Muzi also had to make it on time to join the meeting. After all, she wanted to know the authenticity of the words Ye Linhan had said in front of her. Was he going to take this opportunity to take Ye Moxuan’s place?
As the traffic was building up, Han Muzi took a break to take a sip of her oatmeal and took a bite of the sandwich.
However, at this juncture, her phone suddenly rang.
