George entered the house and quickly squeezed into the kitchen. Then, he was particularly surprised. “Wow! We have fish soup again today! That’s awesome!”
Ye Moxuan, who was still standing by the door, remained silent. He glared at George with a murderous gaze. Why have I never realized that George is such an annoying jerk? Heh. Seems like he’s itching for a beating. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and took out his phone.
“Muzi!” George took the chance to sneak into the kitchen while Ye Moxuan was still outside. He softly conversed with her, “Why is Yuchi here?”
“He followed me here after work saying that he wanted to pick up the clothes he left behind yesterday,” Han Muzi replied.
Oh? George couldn’t help but raise his brows at that reasoning. “Yesterday’s clothes? Did he say that he wanted to come and retrieve them himself?”
“Yeah.” She nodded.
“Do you believe that?” George leaned over and narrowed his eyes as he questioned her.
“What’s wrong?” She looked at George, who had leaned close to her, with a doubtful expression. “He said that the coat from yesterday was very expensive, so naturally he had to retrieve it.” Of course, she didn’t tell George about how her bra had been draped over the coat. That kind of information… was best kept between her and Ye Moxuan.
George immediately seemed to misunderstand something when he heard those words. He snickered, “Very expensive? The heir of the prestigious Yuchi Group said something like ‘very expensive’? Muzi, I can’t help saying this, but you’re just way too naïve!” Seeing as she was still looking at him, George continued explaining, “I think he was just looking for an excuse to get a free meal here. This is the first time I’m learning that Yuchi is this type of person!”
He wanted to come over to spend time with her, but did he have to come up with a bunch of lousy excuses? Compared to me, he’s way too arrogant! Thank goodness it’s Muzi; if it were any other woman, they… probably would have run away a long time ago.
However, with a face like Ye Moxuan’s, even if he was arrogant—let alone heartless—as long as he did not reject them, what woman wouldn’t jump into his arms? Sigh. Comparing myself to him is maddening.
“What are you guys doing?” A cold voice rang out in the kitchen.
Han Muzi and George turned around at the same time and saw Ye Moxuan leaning against the kitchen door. His arms were crossed in front of his chest as he stared at them with indifference. George realized that if he stood a little closer to Muzi, Yuchi’s emotions would become very unstable. The look in his eyes in particular looked as if he was about to murder George.
“Hehe, we’re not doing anything. I just came to ask your assistant about her cooking techniques. Why are you so anxious?” George even intentionally winked in Ye Moxuan’s direction. He deliberately wanted to provoke Ye Moxuan, who was pretending to be like this in front of the woman he fancied, and watch his downfall when his facade was exposed on the spot.
In George’s eyes, Ye Moxuan had always been a cold and arrogant person who looked down on everyone else. Perhaps due to George’s bad taste in humor, he suddenly really wanted to see Ye Moxuan lose his sense of reason and descend into utter chaos over a single woman. Just thinking about it… seems so exciting!
The more George thought about it, the more the glee showed in his eyes. Just wait and see how I’m going to tear apart your disguise! However, his phone suddenly started ringing right at that moment. Glancing at the screen, his gleeful expression immediately turned into one of utter depression. Old man? F*ck! Why would the old man call me at this time?
George glanced at Han Muzi, then answered the call. “Grandfather?”
“George, you better get your a*s back here right now!”
“No… Grandfather, what did I do wrong today? Why are you yelling at me the moment I answered the phone?” George considered it carefully. He hadn’t done anything bad today, and the scandals surrounding him had also reduced considerably recently. Why was the old man raging at him the moment he answered the phone?
“How dare you say you haven’t done anything wrong? Where are you right now? Are you fooling around again? You b*stard, when are you going to grow up? Can’t you just let this old man with one foot in the coffin stop worrying about you for once?”
George was dumbfounded because he really had no idea about what was going on. However, the old man on the other side of the phone was still cursing at him angrily; he had no chance to explain himself at all, nor did the old man want to listen to his explanation.
“You b*stard! If I don’t see you standing in front of me in 30 minutes, don’t blame me if I freeze all your credit cards!”
“Grandfather, why suddenly—”
Toot-toot! The other party ended the call, and the engaged tone was heard from the phone. George stood there holding his phone. His entire being was dumbstruck.
On the other hand, the black eyes of Ye Moxuan, who witnessed the entire episode, turned considerably darker. His eyes took on a hint of a faint smile, and he curled up his lips in a sneer. “Looking at your expression, it seems like something urgent has happened?”
George, who was dumbfounded because he had been wrongly accused, suddenly realized what was going on when his eyes met Ye Moxuan’s directly.
This is all Yuchi’s doing! F*ck! This b*stard sold out his friend for a woman!
“What’s wrong?” Han Muzi asked as she looked at George curiously. “Who called you?”
George came back to his senses and forced a fake smile. “Erm… My grandfather called me on urgent business. So… I’m afraid I can’t stay for dinner.” His face revealed a pained and rueful expression. “Can I come back tomorrow for dinner?”
Han Muzi was quiet for a while, then she nodded. “Of course.”
Immediately, George smiled. “You said it yourself! I’ll be here again tomorrow! As for today… Hmph, forget it!” He then cast a triumphant look at Ye Moxuan. If you won’t let me eat here tonight, then I’ll just come back tomorrow! Anyway, they had a long future ahead; he had ample time to tear off Yuchi’s disguise!
After George said his farewells to Han Muzi, he prepared to leave. Ye Moxuan personally closed the door after him, and George pressed his hand against the door. “Yuchi, you’re despicable. How could you complain to my grandfather?”
Ye Moxuan raised his brows. “Despicable? I’m afraid it’s not comparable to your shamelessness.”
George gritted his teeth at those words. “I’m shameless? It’s hard to say who’s more shameless. You wanted to stay for dinner, yet you had to come up with a bullsh*t excuse about picking up your clothes!”
Ye Moxuan scowled so hard his brows were knitted together; he subconsciously narrowed his eyes to glare at George dangerously.
George knew that he had hit the nail on its head based on Ye Moxuan’s expression. He snorted and continued adding fuel to the fire. “The coat is very expensive? The heir of the prestigious Yuchi Family said that a coat is expensive? Then why don’t I see you act so diligently and thriftily when designing your suits on a normal basis?” Having found an opportunity, George gave his all to humiliate Ye Moxuan. Since he couldn’t stay for the dinner, he could at least mock Ye Moxuan in revenge, right?
“Are you done talking?” Unexpectedly, Ye Moxuan’s emotions quickly returned to their natural state. He looked at George standing outside the door and coldly continued, “If you’re done talking, f*ck off.”
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut. George, who was standing very close to it, nearly got hit in the face. As such, he yelled loudly in anger.
