When Ye Moxuan returned to the company and passed by the secretary’s office, he suddenly heard a voice coming from inside. After listening carefully, he realized that it was the voice of the secretary’s assistant. Why is she yelling so frantically? What’s happening?
Frowning, he raised his hand and opened the door. Looking around, Han Muzi could be seen lying on the sofa in the secretary’s office. She was the one who had made the sound earlier. Then, Ye Moxuan subconsciously walked toward her and was unsure about why he was doing this.
Arriving in front of her, he saw that her brows were tightly furrowed together while her fair forehead was covered in sweat. A few strands of her hair were soaked. Her pinkish lips were moving, and she looked like she was in pain. Is she… having a nightmare?
Bending down, Ye Moxuan moved his fingertips and pushed away from her wet hair.
“No, come back…” Han Muzi, who was having a nightmare, suddenly yelled, shocking Ye Moxuan who was by her side. He saw that her complexion was not looking well and her breathing was getting faster and faster. Furthermore, tears were falling from her eyes.
Ye Moxuan felt that this bitter expression looked familiar.
The first time. When he saw her for the first time, she was running toward him anxiously, and when she was taken away from him, her expression was the same as now. Crystal clear tears rolled down the corners of her eyes. They fell to the sofa and it felt as if they were falling onto Ye Moxuan’s heart as well.
When her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, the woman sleeping on the sofa suddenly yelled and opened her eyes. Meanwhile, he was still bent over, so the two were looking at each other.
Ye Moxuan did not say a word. When he pursed his thin lips and was just about to stand up, the woman stretched out her hands and hugged him tightly. “I’m so glad that you’re fine. I knew you wouldn’t leave me alone…”
Earlier, Han Muzi was having a nightmare in which she wanted to save Ye Moxuan but she could not get close to him. She could only watch him continue falling, and although she was frantic, she could not do anything. When she finally opened her eyes, she saw Ye Moxuan standing in front of her, well and alive. Thus, she instinctively hugged him. There was a sense of having recovered a precious item.
However, Ye Moxuan, who was being held by her, was no longer the same as she imagined. Frowning, his eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter as he listened to her constant whispers. This woman… Does she think I’m another person? How else would she dare to hold me like this while saying these inexplicable words?
As an unknown fire erupted in his chest, Ye Moxuan clasped her thin arms and pushed her away. However, Han Muzi only hugged him tightly once more in panic. “No, don’t push me away. Don’t leave me alone again.”
He was speechless. Damn it! Did she really mistake him for another person? The one she had mentioned previously? As his heart became more and more uncomfortable, he used a little strength to push her away.
At this moment, Han Muzi reluctantly let go. Even though there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, her beautiful eyes were still lovely. Her face was pale as if she was suffering from a serious illness.
Ye Moxuan sneered, “Who do you think I am?”
With a surprised look, Han Muzi stared at him.
“Huh?” The man was squinting his eyes; his entire body was emitting a murderous aura that caused Han Muzi to shiver before she slowly recovered.
The person in front of her was indeed real, but… the current Ye Moxuan had lost his memory and no longer recognized her. And she had embarrassed herself earlier. Thinking of this, Han Muzi quickly reached out her hand to wipe the tears off her face and apologized to him. “I’m sorry, President!”
Ye Moxuan further confirmed his conjecture after seeing her shocked and at a loss after she came back to her senses. She had indeed mistaken me for someone else, right? Otherwise, why would she have such a reaction? One that was full of heartbreak?
Ye Moxuan tugged his lips into a sneer. “Sorry? Are you sorry for hugging me or sorry for mistaking me for someone else?”
Astonished, Han Muzi looked at him and felt anger from his breath as well as his gaze. His first reaction was… that he was angry she hugged him? Biting her lower lip, she apologized once more. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.” After having that nightmare, she was just too scared. When she awoke, she saw the person in her dream standing in front of her, so she hugged him without hesitation.
She was only starting to recover from her nightmare now. If she knew he would be so angry, she definitely would not have done that. Speaking of which, why is he in the secretary’s office? When she thought of this, Han Muzi’s gaze turned doubtful as she asked, “President, why are you here?”
Ye Moxuan did not know what to say. Initially, his heart was full of mockery, but now he felt a little guilty when she questioned him. Could he say that he came over after hearing her yell in her nightmare? Of course not.
Pursing his thin lips, he looked at her coldly.
The look in this man’s eyes made her hands and feet numb. As she sat there, she even felt a chill running down her spine. It seemed that he was really angry. Lowering her eyes, Han Muzi bit her pink lip. “I’m sorry. I know what I did just now has made you very angry, but I didn’t mean it. I had a nightmare, so…” She could not continue; her voice became softer and softer while her head was lowered even more.
Seeing her like this, Ye Moxuan’s heart became even more irritable as he stood up. “If you have nightmares, what does that have to do with me?”
Han Muzi raised her head in shock. It seemed that he was really angry, but she did not know what to say. As such, she bit her lower lip and remained silent. The atmosphere in the secretary’s office suddenly became quiet. Then, Ye Moxuan turned around and was about to leave.
“That…” She could not help herself from raising her head and calling out to him.
With a leg stretched out, he did not look back but asked aloud, “Is there anything else?”
“Thank you for last night,” she said.
Sneering, he said in a cold tone, “No need to thank me. If you weren’t brought over by George, I wouldn’t have gone to save you.”
These blunt words made Han Muzi’s face hot, but she did not give up and continued, “Even so, I still have to thank you.” She no longer needed to ask a stupid question like, ‘Why’d you come to save me last night?’
“That’s all?’
“What?” Stunned for a moment, Han Muzi then thought of another thing and hurriedly said, “Also, I’ll send your coat to the dry cleaner and will return it to you when it’s been cleaned and ironed.”
Ye Moxuan did not utter a word. His long body stood there without moving. After some time, he said, “Don’t you know that I’m a germaphobe?”
“I do.”
“Since you do, then just throw the coat away. Why bother returning it to me?” When the words fell, he did not give Han Muzi another chance to talk and immediately strode out of the secretary’s office.
After he left, she sat on the sofa in a daze. It was not that she could not tell, but compared to last night, his emotions had fluctuated too aggressively. Was it because I hugged him for that short moment?
