Han Muzi stopped suddenly and was stunned for a couple of seconds. She turned around while holding tightly onto the coat on her head. As she turned, she met Ye Moxuan’s cold and deep eyes. She opened her lips and wanted to say something… but her nose became sore.
Ye Moxuan frowned and said, “Get in.”
Biting her lower lip, she turned around to look at the dark gate and gritted her teeth. “The light’s broken. It’s too dark inside and I don’t dare to enter alone.” She was lying. The landlord would normally turn off the lights when everyone went to sleep to save costs on the electricity bill. Plus, the lights outside were not able to shine in anyway. She normally did not work overtime, and she would not go out during the night either. This was the first time she encountered this situation.
She could have just walked in herself using the torchlight on her phone. However, she did not want to. Since this was such a good opportunity for her to spend more time with Ye Moxuan, she needed to seize it. After saying that, she looked carefully at the man. The look in his eyes…
A very faint smile suddenly appeared in Ye Moxuan’s eyes. Although Han Muzi’s eyes were cautious, they were very clear—as if they were naked. Her gaze seemed to be saying, Can you accompany me?
Deep down, Ye Moxuan was helpless as he was uncertain of his feelings toward this woman. However, his body reacted faster and his lips started moving before he could come around. “Lead the way.”
Han Muzi was extremely happy when she heard that. Knowing he was willing to accompany her, she marched forward while feeling satisfied. He followed her from the back after locking the car.
She then walked slowly while taking small steps. It was a short journey, but she walked for a long time. Beside her was Ye Moxuan, and the road in front of them was dark. In the dark, he suddenly asked in a deep voice, “Are you doing this on purpose?”
What? Shocked, she replied instinctively, “I’m not doing it on purpose. The road’s too dark and I can’t walk fast.”
Soon, Ye Moxuan’s sneer came from the left side. “Was I referring to that?”
Han Muzi was speechless. She instinctively covered her mouth with her hands. She admitted it herself! Oh, God! Why am I so nervous in front of Ye Moxuan?
Han Muzi did not speak anymore after that, and she slowly increased her pace. As they reached the front of her house, she lowered her head to look for the keys in her bag.
The sound of keys jingling rang out in the night. She opened the door and turned to look at Ye Moxuan, who was beside her. “Thanks for sending me back, you…” She was hesitant, but in the end, she managed to ask, “Do you want to come in for a drink before you leave?”
The moonlight shone on the corridor, and the person in front of her did not reply after she asked. However, Han Muzi could feel that the aura on him was different from before. She finally realized that she was being a bit too proactive tonight. When she was stumbling to enter the place, the man who had been remaining silent suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed onto her slim, fair wrist. He pinned her to the door.
“Ah…” Han Muzi exclaimed softly.
The man’s strong hormonal aura enveloped her. His warm breath was felt beside her ears. Then, Han Muzi heard his unique deep voice that was a little hoarse—like a strong liquor flowing down your throat. “Do you know what it means to invite a man into your house in the middle of the night?”
His breath and warm body were very close to her. At that moment, Han Muzi was so nervous that even her breathing trembled. She did not dare to simply move and stood there like a wooden puppet.
Something soft went by her ears, and she was trembling with her eyes widened. When she thought that something might happen tonight, she gripped the coat on her tightly just as she was pushed into the house.
Bang! The door was closed. It was pitch black and silent inside the house.
Han Muzi stood at the same place for ten seconds. When she finally came to her senses and realized that Ye Moxuan had pushed her into the house before closing the door, she quickly turned around. She opened the door to look outside, only to see the man’s back as he left.
She remained speechless. After that, she saw him getting into the car. Then, the lights came on and he left the place instantly.
Han Muzi tightened the coat subconsciously after the night breeze came blowing. The scent on the coat belonged to Ye Moxuan, but it was on her now at the moment. Curling the corners of her lips into a smile, she went back into the house.
She hugged the coat that Ye Moxuan gave her to sleep that night, her empty heart now filled. What she did tonight was unexpected, and she also received an unexpected reward. She was extremely happy and excited.
She thought she would have to deal with the Caucasian man alone, but she did not expect Ye Moxuan to suddenly appear and save her. Was it because… Even though Ye Moxuan did not recognize her anymore, would he still subconsciously help her?
She felt that her victory was not too far away. To her, it was fine if Ye Moxuan did not remember her anymore. She would not even mind if he had forgotten their past, as long as he could fall in love with her again and be with her.
…
The next day, Han Muzi woke up with Ye Moxuan’s coat in her arms. It was probably because she stayed up too late last night, thus her eyes were hurting and she felt unwell. However, her mood was great. She quickly got up to wash and get changed. She hung Ye Moxuan’s coat by the side of her bed.
Due to the uncertainty of her workload today and the fact that it would be a Sunday tomorrow, she would wait until tomorrow to wash the coat. She went to the company straight after.
After cleaning Ye Moxuan’s office, she went back to the secretary’s office. Her eyes were still sore in the middle of the day, so she used her hands to rub her eyes.
Miss Lin saw this and asked, “Your eyes are very red. Didn’t you get a good night’s sleep last night?”
Han Muzi shook her head after hearing the question. “No. Maybe it’s just something wrong with my eyes.”
Miss Lin saw her working very hard, and seeing her reddened eyes now, she felt bad for her and said, “If you don’t have much to do in the afternoon, go get some rest.”
“Thanks, Miss Lin. I will.”
Soon after, Ye Moxuan came to work. Han Muzi made coffee, and Miss Lin helped her to bring it over directly. This made her slightly disappointed as she did not have the chance to meet him. After what happened last night, she still wanted to see Ye Moxuan and wanted to know what he was thinking. She wanted to tell him… I’ll clean your coat for you before returning it.
During lunchtime, Han Muzi did not see Ye Moxuan, but an unexpected guest came instead.
