After all, Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan were nearly married.
“Alright, alright. I guarantee that I’ll never bring up this incident in front of others in the future. Muzi, since you have more or less forgiven me, I have a few pieces of information about Yuchi that I can tell you.”
“What is it?” Han Muzi asked curiously.
Then, she learned many things about Yuchi from George, but… it was all small tidbits of information—nothing important.
She glanced around and lowered her head to look at the time—Miss Lin would probably return to work in approximately 15 minutes. It should be enough time for her to ask about what she wanted to know. “There’s something I’ve been wanting to know. Has Yuchi… always lived with the Yuchi Family?”
This question was a test for George. After all, she knew the truth; if George answered her question honestly, then whatever he said in the future was trustworthy, but if he was dishonest…
Sure enough, after hearing her question, George’s facial expression changed subtly. He looked at her as if he wanted to say something, but was hesitant.
“What’s wrong? Is it a taboo subject?” she asked first.
He nodded his head; his expression seemed troubled and undecided. Even so, she waited for him patiently. After a while, he seemed to have come to an understanding with himself. He clasped his hands, looked at her, and said, “Actually, it’s not like I can’t tell you… but… you’re serious toward Yuchi, right?”
She was quiet for a while. “If you think I am, then I am.”
He didn’t expect her to answer him so carelessly; he felt a little bit dissatisfied. Why did she have to be the one Yuchi fancied? With a personality like Yuchi’s, he would most likely refuse to accept a fiancée forced on him by his family. That was why… he felt that there was a high chance that the person in front of him was someone important to him… “Yuchi hasn’t always lived with the Yuchi Family; he’s the grandchild Old Master Yuchi brought back.”
Han Muzi’s heart thumped loudly. He really is Yuchi Jin’s grandson.
“A grandchild that was brought back?” She blinked her eyes and feigned ignorance. “Does that mean that he didn’t live with the Yuchi Family before that? Logically speaking, with a family as prestigious as the Yuchi Family, who would be willing to run away from home?”
“What you’ve just said isn’t wrong. With a family as prestigious as the Yuchi Family, ordinary people would die of envy. But they’ve always had strange people in their family. I guess that’s what people mean when they say you don’t know how blessed you are when you’re living a blissful life.”
“That’s true.” She nodded, then had an idea. “Then… where did Old Master Yuchi find this grandson of his?”
George blinked several times, gradually falling into her trap. “That was during a boating trip—”
He was just about to tell her the entire story when a bitingly-cold male voice came from the direction of the door. “It seems like you have too much free time on your hands. Do I need to make another phone call?”
Both of them jumped in surprise, then looked toward the door. Nobody knew when Ye Moxuan had arrived at the secretary’s office. At this moment, his eyes were coldly observing both of them. His gaze was sharp, carrying with it a murderous intent aimed at George.
George felt his scalp go numb instantly and meekly said, “Muzi, I’m leaving first. I’ll tell you more about that incident on WeChat later.”
George then slipped away before Han Muzi could even react. If he hadn’t left immediately and Yuchi Shen gave another call to his grandfather… he’d be tortured half to death again when he went home. It was wise that he quickly escaped.
After George left, Ye Moxuan walked away as well. Soon, Miss Lin returned to work and everything returned to normal.
…
Finally, the first Sunday arrived. Han Muzi felt like her entire being had breathed a sigh of relief. She slept until she woke up naturally; when she woke up, it was already noon. After getting up from bed, she made something to eat, then cleaned up. After that, she took the coat Ye Moxuan had left with her to the dry cleaner’s, then dropped by the department store on the way.
As soon as she got home, Little Bean sent her an invitation for a video call. She opened the door while accepting the video call on her phone. When she saw the little shaking head on the other end of the phone, she couldn’t help but laugh at him. “What are you doing?”
“Mommy, don’t you miss me? If I didn’t call you, you’d keep ignoring me. My heart hurts very much. I don’t care if I don’t have a daddy by my side, but if even Mommy doesn’t love me anymore…” As he spoke, he hung his head low; he looked disheartened, unhappy, and pitiful.
Her heart melted in a second. Feeling terrible, she said, “You have to behave. Didn’t you promise me that you’ll wait patiently for me to bring daddy home? It’s only been a few days and you’re already starting to make a fuss?”
He pouted. “That’s right, I did promise you, but it’s just too difficult when you aren’t by my side! Mommy, can I go there to visit you? In the past, you used to bring me everywhere!”
“What?” She was stunned for a moment. Little Bean wants to come and visit me?
“Mommy.” He raised both his hands and made a gesture of promise and said, “I guarantee that I won’t trouble you. Um… I can cook, wash the laundry, and do all the housework too. Mommy! Are you sure you won’t give me a chance?”
She burst out laughing. “Are you Mommy’s little caretaker?”
He nodded his head vigorously. “If you’re willing, I’d do anything!”
“Alright, stop fooling around. Mommy will be quick. Hopefully, I’ll be able to reunite with my Little Bean before the new year. So, before the new year comes, you have to stop kicking up a fuss, alright?”
Having said so much, he thought that Han Muzi would be moved, but he didn’t expect to be rejected again. “Evil Mommy! The new year is still such a long time away. I want to go visit you now… I’m about to have my winter break soon; won’t you agree to let me come over during my winter break? Mommy, Mommy, please? I promise I’ll be a good boy!”
She had no idea how to handle him, and could only change the subject. “Where’s Uncle Qing? And Aunt Yan? How have the two of them been?”
Little Bean understood that his Mommy had deliberately changed the subject. He gave a loud ‘hmph’ and turned his head away, ignoring her.
If only things weren’t this complicated over here, she would’ve brought Little Bean along. However… it was not possible. Based on the influence of the Yuchi Family, they must have been aware of Ye Moxuan’s previous identity. Be that as it may, they still gave him another name despite knowing who he was—that meant that the Yuchi Family knew what they were doing.
The Yuchi Family was truly powerful. Before figuring out their agenda, she felt that right now, she could only approach Ye Moxuan in her current capacity as his secretary’s assistant. First, she had to make him recall his memories—to avoid any additional issues cropping up when the time comes. If Old Master Yuchi intervened in this matter, it would be really difficult for her to take Ye Moxuan away.
“Baby, it’s not that Mommy won’t bring you… You’ve always been the best at being considerate. This time… won’t you please be understanding toward Mommy?”
