What else could she say? It was unavoidable that she heard it. After all, the soundproofing here was not very good. Even if she did not listen in, the sound waves would sometimes travel over. It was not like she could stuff her ears with her fingers.
She was annoyed about it initially, but after thinking about it, wasn’t this just how adults were? It was quite common, and it was indeed not easy for a young couple to rent a house. That was why she did not go to the landlady to complain about them and went to bed early every night.
However, now that she had said it to Ye Moxuan after being teased by him, she felt as if she had tossed her dignity into the Pacific Ocean.
Ye Moxuan threw another bomb at her amid her embarrassment and said lightly, “Besides, who said I wouldn’t be staying here?”
Han Muzi was so surprised that her pretty eyes widened.
He lifted his hand and grabbed her chin while placing his finger on her lips. A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his ink-black eyes. “Did you put on lipstick again?”
Han Muzi nodded with a guilty conscience. The wound on her lips would be too obvious if she did not put on lipstick, so she had no choice. He remained silent while focusing on her lips. Then, he patiently removed the color on her lips bit by bit with his fingertip.
Soon, Han Muzi saw his thumb turn red. She moved her lips, trying to say something, but he suddenly leaned over and kissed her gently while pressing her against the door.
Han Muzi blinked her eyes nervously. She had already gotten nervous when he made his move just now. She thought he might wipe off her lipstick but… she never thought it would actually happen! After kissing for a while, Han Muzi came back to her senses and pushed him away while panting lightly. “T-The door is still open.”
Ye Moxuan raised his hand to close the door expressionlessly, then he held the back of her head and pressed against her forehead. “Why don’t I have my own pair of indoor slippers after all this time?”
Han Muzi blinked her long eyelashes like two little fans. She said in a daze, “Y-You didn’t say you wanted…”
After hearing that, he narrowed his eyes. “Your answer doesn’t measure up.”
“Huh?” Before Han Muzi could give any reaction, she was pushed to the wall and kissed again.
…
Han Muzi only got back to her senses when he leaned over to fasten her seat belt after he brought her out and got into the car. Just now… What happened earlier?
Well, they seemed to be discussing his lack of a pair of indoor slippers. Then, he kissed her for a long time. He had placed his arms around her neck and coaxed her to move out as it was not only too dark at night, but the place was also unsafe. Furthermore, he could not stand the couple staying beside her the most as he felt they were a bad influence on her.
Naturally, Han Muzi would not want to agree to it as it would be troublesome to move again. She did not know what happened next, but they had suddenly come out after she was kissed by him. The two were now going to the supermarket to shop.
After coming out of the supermarket, it was already dark. Ye Moxuan put everything in the trunk. When they were walking to the car, he did not let her carry any heavy items. He was like a conscientious boyfriend, carrying all the things for her while she only needed to hold onto him.
After dinner, Han Muzi tidied up and went to wash the dishes, but she was thinking hard about something. The time she spent with Ye Moxuan was not too long, nor was it considered short. During this period, it was quite tortuous for Han Muzi who wanted him to quickly recover his memory. Other than the first instance of intimacy they shared, he did not seem to have any special reactions afterward.
Han Muzi did not feel like washing the dishes after thinking about it, so she washed her hands and turned to leave. When she walked out, she saw that he was not in the living room. Instead, he was at the balcony, and voices could be heard as they drifted along with the wind.
“I’ll be back late. I understand.” After talking, he hung up the phone. Following that, he leaned against the balcony while lighting up a cigarette. The flame was flickering in the dark balcony. After lighting it up, he did not take a puff straight away but just let it burn.
His grandfather seemed to be insistent that he got with Duanmu Xue no matter what. The butler told him on the phone just now that his grandfather threw a tantrum and almost passed out, but he had already been sent back to the room. The doctor was there, so he was all right. However, he would never be engaged with Duanmu Xue. As for how he should convince Grandpa…
Ye Moxuan, who was still standing while deep in thought, suddenly moved and turned his head to look toward the kitchen, whereupon he met Han Muzi’s eyes.
Seeing her, Ye Moxuan moved quickly. He immediately put out the cigarette and walked in.
She merely watched him walk toward her without saying anything. He suddenly reached out and hugged her. She was afraid that she would fall, so her hand reflexively hugged his neck. He then carried her to the sofa and seated her there.
Blinking, she asked, “Just now… was it your family calling?”
Ye Moxuan pursed his thin lips and did not speak. He lowered his head and leaned over to her lips.
Both of them just had a meal and Han Muzi had not rinsed her mouth yet. If they kissed now…
Han Muzi moved her head after she thought about it. The pair of slightly cold and dry thin lips ended up getting pressed against her cheeks instead. He was stunned for a moment and reached out to grab her chin before asking hoarsely, “Why are you evading?”
She would not tell him the reason directly. As such, she just pushed him aside and asked, “Your family… Are they rushing you to go back?” After she said that, Ye Moxuan did not make any further moves.
As a result, she started to doubt herself. Did I say something wrong? She turned her head over and Ye Moxuan kissed her unexpectedly, but his thin lips did not stay on hers for long. He immediately moved away after the kiss and said, “Follow me to meet my grandfather, okay?
Han Muzi was speechless and confused. Her brain was shutting down. What did Ye Moxuan say just now? Follow him to meet his grandfather? Did I hear wrongly? It sounded like they had just confirmed their relationship. No way! They had not even talked about the matter of them being a couple yet, but he wanted to bring her to meet his grandfather?
Han Muzi was puzzled by this, but she was also touched at the same time. Although he had proudly stated that she was the one who confessed first, his current behavior showed that he cared about her much more than she thought.
“So?” Seeing her stunned, Ye Moxuan asked again.
Han Muzi began to say, “I…” She could not meet his grandfather now as it did not seem like his memories had been triggered. It would be too impulsive for her to go at this time.
Han Muzi bit her lower lip embarrassedly while her expression was full of distress. Ye Moxuan looked at her for a long while before his eyes suddenly sank. “Is it too fast?”
Since their conversation had reached this point, she wanted to take the opportunity to ask. She simply reached out and put her arms around his neck. “Is our relationship confirmed? Do you want me to meet your grandfather so soon?”
Ye Moxuan looked at her, his eyes narrowing. “Is it not? When we were downstairs just now, the landlady—”
“Then I have something to ask you. Do you have any feelings when you kiss me?”
