She was feeling extremely cold, though she was not sure if it was because of the cold weather outside or because she was starving. After she wrapped her arms around Ye Moxuan’s neck, both their bodies leaned against each other intimately. His body was exceptionally warm even through the layers of clothes. Compared to her, one was like ice while the other was like fire.
Yuchi Shen realized she was very light when he carried her. Her waist was so thin that it could be broken with one hand, and… her body was as cold as a block of ice. He frowned and ignored everyone else. He then turned around and left the cubicle with Han Muzi in his arms.
The people who were left in the room looked at each other. Some of them could not help but rub their eyes. “Am I seeing this correctly? Is that person… really Yuchi?”
“Damn. Why is that woman so lucky?”
The server George called brought over all the alcohol—dozens after dozens. Even though he did not know what happened here… the bar was still earning money. Moreover, it was under his tab, so he could get a hefty commission from this. It was only natural for him to perform diligently. He even went over to George after he was almost done serving. “Sir, we’re almost done serving all the alcohol.”
George passed the waiter his credit card from his wallet and said frivolously, “Swipe my card. After that, go get a few people and restrain that person over there. Pour all this wine into his mouth.”
The server was stunned after he took the card. “What?”
George was losing his patience. “What’s with your reaction? Can’t you do it?”
The waiter reconfirmed, saying, “No, what I mean is… he’ll die if we pour all this wine into his mouth, won’t he?” If this man was going to die here, would it not cause a lot of trouble?
George thought about it, then said, “How about this… As long as he’s alive, it doesn’t matter how much I pour it into his mouth. I just want him to drink since he likes treating other people to drinks.”
The Caucasian man gritted his teeth and looked at him. “George, aren’t you going to help me?”
Taking a step backward, George said, “What am I supposed to help you with? Haven’t I warned you before that she’s Yuchi Shen’s woman? I told you not to play with fire, didn’t I? Were you even listening to me? Since you’ve offended Yuchi Shen, even if you don’t pay the price today, you’ll have to in the future.”
The Caucasian man instantly felt helpless after hearing this. George is right… He was only forced to drink alcohol today. Worst case scenario, he would only end up losing it in the toilet. This was just a small matter. If he did not accept his punishment today, in the future…
However, based on Yuchi Shen’s temper, the woman might be someone who meant a lot to him, since he was willing to start a fight with him today. His intestines twisted with regret when he thought about his future.
…
Han Muzi was carried out. She was leaning warmly in the arms of Ye Moxuan, her heart filled with satisfaction from smelling his familiar scent. Does this count as a blessing in disguise for me? Initially, she thought she would never see him again. From thinking that she would never meet him again to now being in his arms…
It had been more than a month since they last hugged each other, but it felt like an eternity. Closing her eyes, Han Muzi’s hands unconsciously held him tighter and tighter as her body leaned closer to him. She was particularly clingy toward Ye Moxuan.
Of course, this behavior of Han Muzi did not go unnoticed. This woman had been grabbing onto him since he carried her, and their intimacy was as if they were a couple. Now she seemed to be taking advantage of him by leaning ever closer to him. Ye Moxuan lowered his head and saw that her lashes were trembling softly. However, he did not find this annoying…
He thought that the woman should just obediently stay in his arms despite him being a germaphobe. This small, obedient, and vulnerable feeling in his arms made his heart tremble.
Ye Moxuan did not know what was wrong with him, but he started moving faster.
He carried Han Muzi into the passenger seat. When he wanted to bend down and leave, she was still hugging his neck tightly.
Remaining silent, he tried to leave again. However, Han Muzi was still holding him tightly as if she had forgotten the time.
Narrowing his eyes, he held her slim wrist and said, “I’ll just leave you here if you don’t let go.”
His cold warning rang in her head, snapping her back to her senses. She let go of him reluctantly.
After Ye Moxuan got into the car, he reminded her, “Seatbelt.”
Stunned, she moved to fasten her seatbelt quietly. She lowered her eyes and looked at her arms, feeling sorry all of a sudden. The journey was too short, wasn’t it? It feels like… the hug lasted only for a while. It would be great if the hug was a little longer.
After they hit the road, the entertainment centers around them gradually disappeared and the scenery was replaced with a never-ending stretch of road. Compared to the noise in the hotel just now, it was extremely quiet inside the car. Furthermore, it did not have that acrid smell.
“Are you an idiot?” Out of the blue, Ye Moxuan’s question rang in the car.
She looked at him; her eyes were filled with doubt as if she did not understand what he meant.
Smiling coldly, Ye Moxuan then said, “George brought you there, right?”
She nodded.
“Why didn’t you reject him? Do you just follow other people no matter where they bring you to? Are you out of your mind?”
Faced with Ye Moxuan’s consecutive questions, she was stunned. She did not expect him to be this harsh with his words. Feeling a little ashamed, she retorted, “I didn’t just follow along when he told me to go; he said you’d be there, so I…”
Han Muzi instantly went quiet after saying that. She realized she had exposed something with her words earlier. After stopping his car in front of the red light, he looked at her with his dark eyes.
“You went because you thought I’d be there? And you said you didn’t join the company because of me, huh?”
Han Muzi said, “Who said I went because I heard you’d be there? I just went because I was afraid you had something you wanted to order me to do. I didn’t want to cause any delays, so I went.”
After saying that, Ye Moxuan’s eyes were still on her. He looked straight into her eyes. His eyes were so straightforward as if he was saying, Well, continue lying. I’ll see what you have to say.
Han Muzi was a little annoyed as she bit her lower lip, trying to defend herself again. “I’m telling the truth. Since I was working overtime tonight, I thought… there’d be more work to do. That’s why…”
“Tsk.” Ye Moxuan sneered while curling his thin lips. “Stubborn woman.” This woman was not only weird but she also did not speak her mind.
After that, the car was silent again. He asked for her address after a while, and they went back into a strange silence after she told him. It was already late at night, so there were not many vehicles on the road. They arrived at Han Muzi’s place very soon. There was not a single light on and the area by the gate was dark.
“Thank you… for sending me back,” Han Muzi thanked him as she unfastened her seatbelt and got ready to exit the car. She was a little reluctant as she wanted to stay with Ye Moxuan a little longer. However, his face looked tense, showing that he did not want to have a conversation with her anymore. She had no choice but to say goodbye to him. Then, she turned and walked toward the door.
After a few steps, Han Muzi wanted to rush back and ask him why he came to save her when suddenly, a warm coat covered her head.
