Would I then be able to meet Ye Moxuan? At this point, Han Muzi subconsciously touched her belly—she was starving. At the same time, she knew that she should probably head home right away to eat something and take a shower so that she could get some rest. After all, staying up late was not a good thing for pregnant women. However… in comparison, being able to see Ye Moxuan seemed to be a more attractive option. Alas, to her, Ye Moxuan was more important than anything else.
Seeing the look in her eyes, George knew that he had hit the nail on the head. He instantly put on a proud smile. “This is such a rare opportunity. Are you not coming along?”
Han Muzi hesitantly looked at George with a little bit of doubt.
George was afraid that she would not buy it, so he took out his phone and showed it to her. “I was just on the phone with Yuchi to invite him over for supper, and he has agreed to it. Weren’t you working late tonight? It’s so late; aren’t you hungry? Let’s go get some food, then we’ll bring you home.”
He had been upfront about this and also had a thorough understanding of the company. Furthermore, he seemed to be quite close to Ye Moxuan.
Han Muzi was tempted. She did indeed want to have more interactions with Ye Moxuan, as she might be able to stimulate and cause him to recall his memories quicker.
“But…” Though tempted, she still seemed slightly hesitant. At the end of the day, she was only an employee of the company. It would look strange if she were to leave right now to get supper.
“No ‘buts’’. You are overthinking. The clock is ticking. Let’s go now.” George did not leave her with any time to consider. He immediately grabbed her by her hand, opened the car door, and pushed her into the car. His actions were considerably gentle toward Han Muzi, who finally got into the car after some effort. George then closed the door and hopped into the driver’s seat. A while later, he let out a smile and said, “Here we go.”
Han Muzi nodded without saying a word. As the car was moving on the broad and smooth road, she looked at the lights and skyline through the window. To be honest, these lights and scenery were not much different from the ones back home. The only difference was the people around her.
While George was driving, he took a quick look at Han Muzi through the rearview mirror. He noticed that she was indeed more beautiful than he thought. She might not be the stunning kind who would make your jaw drop the first time you met her, but she was able to cause your appreciation of her beauty to increase every time you saw her.
Her eyes, in particular, were so tranquil they seemed indifferent. They were like an icy spring. Although it was cold, it was calm and drew people to it. People might have the urge to stir it… but they would still be reluctant to do it.
Well. George murmured in his heart that for Yuchi Shen to fall for a woman, she had to be someone special. Initially, he thought she was merely a woman with a decent appearance and body figure, but now, after observing her, he felt that there was something more. She was calm, peaceful, and composed. At this juncture, George started to get curious about her identity. “How long have you known Yuchi?”
Ever since Han Muzi got in the car, she had been quiet, as she was not in the mood to speak with him. She was just looking out the window, thinking about what to say and how to react to Ye Moxuan later. These matters were more than enough to keep her distracted.
All of a sudden, the male voice in the car brought Han Muzi back to her senses. She yelped and then turned to look in the direction where the voice came from.
George looked at her confused look. It was as if she had just noticed his presence. He was rendered speechless. He wanted to get upset at her. Even though he wanted to give her a ride, ever since she got in the car, it felt like she never noticed his presence. Why is she acting like Yuchi Shen?
Fortunately, Han Muzi was much better than Yuchi Shen. After coming back to her senses, George saw her purse her lips before she forced a gentle smile on her face. “What do you mean?”
Seeing this, George let out a sigh and thought that she did look pretty good when she smiled. Distracted, he licked his lips. “Stop pretending. How can you be so close with Yuchi if you haven’t known him for a long time?”
Han Muzi did not know how to respond.
“Even though I haven’t known Yuchi for too long, one thing I know for sure is that… he would never fall for just any woman. You are the first woman I have met that he has fallen for.”
Upon hearing these words, Han Muzi was not sure if she should be happy or upset. She thought that since Ye Moxuan had returned to his old self, it should be much more difficult for her to approach him again. On the other hand, she was somewhat glad that he was like this. Otherwise… he would be accepting every woman who came up to him, and she would have had a lot more competitors.
“Based on what I’ve just said, don’t you have any thoughts?” George thought his words would in some ways provoke or excite her. Who knew that she would still just sit there calmly with her eyes closed. Her long eyelashes were covering her beautiful eyes. It seemed like she was deep in thought.
Hearing George’s question, she looked up. “What thoughts can I have? What happened between him and I is not what you think it is.” She knew that George had regarded her as one of the women who had fallen for Yuchi Shen, or one who had spent a lot of time with him.
She admitted that, indeed, she still loved Ye Moxuan, and that feeling was mutual, just that Ye Moxuan had temporarily lost his memory. As it was difficult to explain all these, she would never say anything in detail to George.
“Not what I think it is? So what is it?” George was extremely curious. “It’s my first time seeing Yuchi treat a woman like that. Please stop lying and tell me what your relationship with Yuchi is—to help satisfy my curiosity.”
Han Muzi gently smiled. She knew that as long as she was not giving him any answers, he would not give up questioning her. After some thought, she decided to throw the question back at him. “If you want to know, I think I am not the best person to ask. You should ask Yuchi Shen instead.”
Looking sour, George responded, “Are you asking me to go and ask him?” Forget it. He was not bold enough to ask Yuchi Shen this question; even if he was, would Yuchi Shen answer him? He might just throw a cold glance at him and ask him to ‘f*ck off’.
The thought of this happening annoyed George. However, his chance was here tonight. George realized he had finally found leverage to be used against Yuchi Shen. He stopped the conversation with Han Muzi and quietly sent Ye Moxuan a message on WeChat while he was waiting at the traffic light. ‘Your woman is in my car!’
After sending it out, George had a malicious smirk on his face while he put his phone away. He was having so much fun. As long as Yuchi Shen saw his text and decided to show up, he would be able to… Hahaha!
