When George found Ye Moxuan, he told the latter how he forced the Caucasian man to drink all the alcohol last night. After that, the man could not carry on and passed out. He dialed 911 to send the person to the hospital and left after making sure that the man was still breathing.
After Ye Moxuan heard this, his face was neutral without any trace of emotions. George did not know what else to say. Damn, this guy has facial paralysis! He scolded the man in his heart and thought, Was he not like this as well when he came to her rescue last night?
Last night, when Ye Moxuan kicked the Caucasian man, he had used a lot of strength. When everyone had left, George took a look around and found that the wine cabinet was cracked. The man was lucky enough to not have broken bones.
Stroking his chin, George suddenly asked, “After you sent her back last night, you didn’t do anything else to her, did you?”
Hearing the question, the movements in Ye Moxuan’s hand suddenly paused as his cold eyes fell on the man before him. “Do you think I’m like you?”
“Hehe, you didn’t dare to do it, eh? Are you still a man? It was such a good opportunity for the hero to save the damsel in distress. She’s just a lone woman, yet you didn’t make your move. Are you incompetent, or…”
After speaking, George was suddenly reminded of something terrible and jumped off the sofa to go over to Ye Moxuan’s side while squinting his eyes. “Could it be that you didn’t dare to?”
Sitting there blankly, it was as if Ye Moxuan did not care about what he said. If George had not witnessed him taking someone away last night and also taking revenge on the Caucasian man, he might really think that Yuchi Shen was a particularly indifferent and heartless person. However, it was different now. The man saved her, avenged her, but did not do anything even after sending her back home.
There were only two possibilities for this. One was that he did not like her and was not interested in making a move on her. However, this did not make sense. If he was uninterested in her, why would he rush over to rescue her as soon as he hung up the call? In conclusion, he liked that woman. If that was the case, why did he not make a move on her? This was where the second point came into play; he wanted to make a move, but he did not dare to or… was reluctant to do so.
The more George thought about it, the more mystified he felt. Furthermore, he felt like trouble was brewing. Although he did not know whether his guess was right or not, he needed to remind his friend. “Yuchi, you can’t possibly be serious, right?” George asked.
He was thinking that this was the only likely possibility. A man like Yuchi could get any woman he wanted. Seeing that the assistant was willing to go to the bar after hearing that Yuchi was going to be there, if he really wanted her, the chances of her refusing were very small. The only possibility was that Yuchi himself did not want her.
“I’m telling you, Yuchi Shen; you can’t take that woman seriously.”
George surrounded Ye Moxuan like an annoying aunt. “You should know what our family background is like. You can tell what sort of background that little assistant comes from just with one look. If you want to have a serious relationship with her, you’ll only do more harm to her than good.”
Even though Ye Moxuan was still ignoring him, George got anxious and continued, “I’ll be blunt with you. Our marriage can only be decided by the elders, and we have to make sacrifices for the family. If you really have feelings for her, I advise you to quickly retract them. Are you even listening to me? I’ve been speaking for half a day and you haven’t given me any response.”
There was only silence. Finally, Ye Moxuan lazily raised his eyelids and cast a mild look at George. “Are you done talking?”
George nodded.
“Then get out.”
This rendered George speechless. After talking to him for such a long time, he only got these three words in response? He’s even chasing me away?
Sneering in his heart, George deliberately persisted. “Even if you want to chase me away, I won’t leave. I’ll tell you first that Grandpa Yuchi has taken quite a liking to the daughter of the Duanmu family. In the future, you’ll most certainly be engaged to her. There’s nothing much that your little assistant has to offer, but I can see that she is quite persistent when it comes to you. If you really have anything going on with her, don’t get in too deep or you’ll only end up harming her.”
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan’s eyes finally showed a hint of impatience as he stretched out his hands to massage his temples. It seemed that George was especially talkative today, which was extremely annoying.
George was still planning to say something when he suddenly saw Ye Moxuan stand up to grab his keys and coat before immediately leaving the office.
“Hey, I’m still talking. Where are you going?”
“To eat,” Ye Moxuan replied coldly.
“Eat?” Remembering that he had not eaten, George quickly followed after him and said, “Take me with you. I’m also hungry.”
“I don’t have the time.”
“You’re not bringing me along? Then, shall I just go to the cafeteria and eat with your woman?”
Pausing, Ye Moxuan turned his head as his cold eyes fell on the man before him.
George suddenly felt his scalp go numb. “You… Why are you looking at me like this?”
A fierce aura was enshrouded around Ye Moxuan as he said, “If I see the same thing like last night happen again…”
“It won’t.” George immediately raised his hands as a sign of surrender. “There won’t be another time. I won’t go look for her to eat, okay? I’ll just follow you.”
At this, Ye Moxuan finally retracted his sharp gaze and resumed walking forward calmly while George followed along helplessly, wondering what the man was thinking. On the surface, it indeed appeared that he was very calm as if he had no feelings for her, but at the same time, he would not let others approach her. Obviously… this was his strong possessiveness.
Thinking about this the whole time they were walking, George could not help but question him, “Then Yuchi, can you just tell me. Are you together with her, or not?”
Ding! Right as the elevator door opened, Ye Moxuan stepped out without looking back.
…
Han Muzi said goodbye to Rory after the meal, then went back to rest in the secretary’s office. It was only a few days into her probation and she had not lain and rested on the couch here before. She felt embarrassed doing so as she was outside. However, today was different. Her eyes were extremely sore and she felt very sleepy.
After Han Muzi closed the door to the secretary’s office, she lay down on the sofa while holding a pillow, and soon fell asleep. Then, she had a long dream. In the dream, Ye Moxuan pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. Han Muzi was greedy for his warm embrace and hugged him with both arms.
However, eventually, Han Muzi realized that the body temperature of the person she was hugging was dropping gradually and was getting colder. In the end, it was as cold as ice cubes and it made her tremble. She was almost frozen; she looked up and realized the person she was hugging was no longer Ye Moxuan but just a block of ice.
She turned around and looked for Ye Moxuan, but she could only see a plane crashing into the vast ocean.
“No… No!!”
