Sh*t. How can I explain this? Should she directly tell him, the man who was currently suffering from amnesia, that his grandfather might not approve of them being together and they should keep a low profile? Ye Moxuan might think she was crazy.
After thinking about it, she could only reply pitifully, “I’ve only joined the company for a few days and I’ve already gotten this close to you. I can imagine how others will talk about me when they see it.”
However, Ye Moxuan had already assumed that she did not want others to see them together. Although he was feeling a little annoyed, he did not respond after he heard those words. All the while, he still had a cold look on his face.
Han Muzi could only stretch her hand over and pull his sleeve. “Do you want others to gossip about me?”
Ye Moxuan looked at her tender, white hand while driving. That hand was so small that he could wrap it with his palm. Thinking of this, his cold heart softened a bit. The look in his eyes was not as cold as before and showed a trace of emotion.
There were not many people on this part of the road. He held the steering wheel with one hand and grabbed her hand with the other. Her fair, little, soft hand was wrapped in his big palm. Ye Moxuan held her hand while looking ahead. “Anyone who dares to talk bad about you would be messing with me. How many people in the whole company would dare to mess with me?
Han Muzi was speechless. There was probably no one. Who would want to mess with their own superior? Wouldn’t they be getting themselves in trouble? Han Muzi’s heart was warmed by his words as she never thought he would say something like this. She laughed and said, “They won’t mess with you in front of you, but they can still say it behind your back.”
One could stop all the armies and bullets in the world, but they could not stop rumors. Besides, rumors were more damaging than the other two. Sure enough, Ye Moxuan frowned again after listening to her. His lower jaw tightened as he pursed his lips.
“I was just simply talking. Don’t take it to heart. What other people say has nothing to do with me. I don’t even care about the rumors.” She only cared about him. However, she could not tell him that his grandfather might try to stop them from getting together and that was why she could not let his grandfather know.
Ugh. Although Han Muzi said that she did not mind it, her words still flowed through his blood and reached his heart. Ye Moxuan remembered these words clearly.
Ye Moxuan sent her home and recalled that Yuchi Jin asked him to go home early today as he had something to tell him. Just then, Han Muzi said, “Let’s go to the supermarket to buy some groceries. There’s almost nothing in the refrigerator at home.”
At home? Ye Moxuan looked at her thoughtfully. “Okay.”
After getting out of the car, the two went upstairs together. It was a coincidence that the landlady came out for a walk with the dog at this time, so when they went upstairs, they ran into her again.
Han Muzi sighed in her heart. The landlady has impeccable timing. It was such a coincidence for them to meet. Each time before the landlady walked out of the gate, they would surely either meet on the stairs or when she was approaching the gate. “Muzi, you’ve brought your boyfriend back again! You two have such a good relationship.”
The landlady took another look at Ye Moxuan after she greeted Han Muzi enthusiastically. This woman is so lucky to be beautiful and have an equally good-looking partner.
Han Muzi twitched the corners of her lips awkwardly. When she was about to say something, she felt her waist being hugged by someone. Then, she saw Ye Moxuan nod to the landlady to stop her. Why is he stopping the landlady?
“Excuse me, are there other suites here?” His tone was neutral, and one could not decipher the emotions in it.
The landlady was stunned for a moment as they were not simply greeting each other. She stopped and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with that apartment?”
Han Muzi was confused as well as she did not expect Ye Moxuan to suddenly greet the landlady and ask her a question.
Ye Moxuan nodded while he pursed his lips. “Yes. Are there any left?”
Seeing him not stating the reason, the landlady was a little puzzled but still replied truthfully, “No. When Muzi came here, this was the last apartment. I saw that she was abroad alone, so I rented it to her for a cheap price. Why? Is there something wrong with the place?”
Ye Moxuan frowned and did not explain to her further. Han Muzi could only quickly reply, “There’s no problem. I’m just asking for a friend who wants to rent a house. Excuse us. We’re all fine now.” After saying that, she smiled awkwardly and grabbed Ye Moxuan’s hand before going upstairs.
After the landlady left, Han Muzi took out the key to open the door and asked, “Why did you suddenly ask the landlady such a question? I think this place is fine…” She changed into her indoor slippers when she entered the place.
“Fine?” Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes after hearing it. “Don’t you want to stay somewhere else?”
Han Muzi straightened her body and turned to look at him when she heard him. “Stay somewhere else? Why?” After asking, she suddenly had a thought in her heart. Did he want her to stay with him? That can’t be right… If it was about staying together, he would not have asked the landlady if there were any vacant suites left.
Seeing her looking at him with a confused look, Ye Moxuan’s gaze dropped slightly. He suddenly approached her by stepping forward to hold her waist and lowering his head. “Don’t you want me to accompany you to listen to the orchestra every time I visit you?”
Listen to the orchestra? Han Muzi was confused initially. What did he mean by listening to the orchestra? Then, she suddenly reacted after seeing the extinguishing light under his eyes as if they were hiding a certain unknown emotion. He meant the noise from the couple next door.
Han Muzi did not say anything. She had almost forgotten about it, and she did not expect him to remember that. Her face and ears reddened suddenly. Their eyes met for a moment and she did not know what was running through her thoughts. She suddenly replied without thinking much, “You’re… not staying here. Even if you want to listen to it, you’ll have to wait till after 10pm. Moreover, it’s not every night that you can…” She paused immediately after sensing something. She almost bit her tongue off looking at Ye Moxuan who was close to her.
My God. What was I even talking about?! She quickly covered her face.
The diminishing light under Ye Moxuan’s eyes suddenly extinguished as he slowly moved his hand which was hugging her waist and said with a dangerous tone, “After 10pm?”
Han Muzi remained silent.
“It looks like you’ve been paying attention.”
“I…”
“Yes?” Ye Moxuan moved forward a few inches, and the distance between the two of them narrowed again. They were so close that Han Muzi could see the fine hairs on his skin.
