“Huh?” Han Muzi thought she had heard wrongly. Did Ye Moxuan ask me to accept Yuchi Jin’s money?
“He is giving it to his granddaughter-in-law,” Ye Moxuan stated casually. “The next time he gives it to you, you just take it.”
Han Muzi remained quiet. Why do I suddenly feel that the grandson saved by Yuchi Jin is here to bring troubles to him? Just as the two of them were talking, Han Muzi suddenly heard a knocking sound coming from her back. She was so shocked that she reflexively hid behind Ye Moxuan.
When she hid behind him, her hands accidentally crumpled his suit. As someone who had mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder like him, Ye Moxuan would have definitely been enraged by her back then. However, the one crumpling his suit right now was Han Muzi, so the situation was completely different. Not only did he not get angry, he actually felt a sense of satisfaction inside him.
The person outside the door didn’t hear a reply, so she knocked again. Afterward, her voice was heard as she called out, “President?”
“It’s Miss Lin!” Han Muzi whispered to him. Then, she scanned the surroundings and saw the office desk, and then she dashed over and squirmed under it.
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless as he rubbed his forehead to ease the headache. Is this girl addicted to squirming under things?
“Come in.” When the cold voice of the man was heard, the office door opened. Miss Lin came in with an envelope and looked strangely at Ye Moxuan, who was standing by the door. “President, are you going out?” As she finished, Miss Lin seemed to notice something when her eyes fell on his suit.
Usually, his suit was always neat and clean without any traces of wrinkles, but today, there were lots of wrinkles on his sleeves and waist. Other than that, she also realized that he took a long time to answer the door. Nonetheless, she shouldn’t ask him such questions, so she could only hand over the item in her hand. “President, Old Master came by just now.”
Ye Moxuan’s expression was calm, as if he wasn’t shocked by her words at all. Looks like he met with Old Master Yuchi earlier. Thinking about it, Miss Lin became more direct with her words. “This envelope was left by Old Master when he left. I don’t know what is inside it, so I brought it over for you, President.”
An envelope? Ye Moxuan remembered what Han Muzi just told him. Then, he glanced at the envelope before taking it and opened it. Sure enough, there was a check inside. “I understand. Is there anything else?”
Miss Lin stood still as she hesitated. Finally, she felt that it was better to tell him. “Old Master… instructed me to simply arrange a position in the company for the Young Lady of the Duanmu family.”
Listening to her, Ye Moxuan instantly frowned his eyebrows as the aura around him turned gloomy. Hasn’t that woman given up yet? I have already told her so clearly.
Seeing him frowning, Miss Lin realized that her guess was correct. The President still shuns away from women, but this Duanmu Xue is no ordinary woman. It’ll be hard to deal with this. She thought for a while and spoke to him, “By the looks of Old Master, he really values Miss Duanmu highly. If we don’t give her a position, I’m afraid that Old Master will be furious. But if we give it to her…” Then in the future, the President wouldn’t have any peaceful days.
Even though Old Master’s attitude was tough, the situation still had something to do with Ye Moxuan after all, so Miss Lin decided to discuss it with him. I’ll just let both of them figure it out themselves at home.
Miss Lin noticed that the corner of Ye Moxuan’s eyes were glancing at the direction under the table, but she didn’t know why. Then, he asked her coldly, “Miss Lin, how is the situation with the Duanmu family’s company?”
This sudden question… Miss Lin was dumbfounded for a while before replying, “The Duanmu Group is very powerful too. After all, they are one of the top companies.”
Hearing her words, Ye Moxuan sneered, “Then why all the fuss to get into my company?”
At this point, Miss Lin finally understood Ye Moxuan’s intentions. She then nodded immediately. “I know what to do. If there isn’t anything else, I’ll leave now.”
“Alright.”
After Miss Lin was gone, Han Muzi was still hiding under the table, thinking about the situation. Is Duanmu Xue trying to get in the company? And she has the backing of Yuchi Jin? This is bad. If Yuchi Jin doesn’t accept me, then what’s the point going through all these? Sigh.
“She is gone now. You can come out. Or… are you planning to stay there?” As she was thinking, Ye Moxuan’s voice came from above.
Han Muzi lifted her head, and she happened to meet his eyes. Nevertheless, she didn’t stand up right away, and she asked him instead, “If you don’t give her a position, your grandfather will feel offended, right?”
Ye Moxuan waited for a few seconds, but she was still squatting there, so he simply crouched down in front of her and spoke in a low voice, “Don’t tell me you hope that I arrange a position for her.”
Han Muzi shook her head. She didn’t want to see that annoying face everyday when she went to work. Also, with Duanmu Xue’s character, she would definitely trouble her everyday.
“Get up first.” Ye Moxuan grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her into his arms, and then he got up with her. After she got up, she wanted to back away, but she then realized that the hand holding her waist wouldn’t budge. “I’ll handle the situation myself, and you just need to go on with your normal life. But… you can’t live there anymore.”
“What? Then where should I live?” Han Muzi twitched her lips. She just rented the house not long ago, and she had already paid the rental fee and deposit.
After remembering Duanmu Xue’s abnormal expression and seeing Han Muzi’s clean, pure eyes, Ye Moxuan decided not to tell her about it to prevent frightening her. However, he still needed an excuse to ask her to move. “I’m worried that my grandfather may trouble you privately. That is why I’ll find a new place for you to stay.”
Han Muzi blinked and gazed at Ye Moxuan, who was inches away from her. “Are you… trying to get me to move in with you?”
At first, Ye Moxuan was worried about her, but he couldn’t tell her the reason. Now, after what she said, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. Then, he squinted his eyes and looked at her scorchingly. “Did I say that I wanted you to move in with me?”
Han Muzi remained silent.
“Or are you saying that you want to move in with me?”
“I…” Han Muzi’s face was blushing as she tried to defend herself. “I didn’t think of that. You were the one who said that you wanted to find a new place for me to stay.”
“Yes, I did say that. But did I say that I wanted to live with you?” He lowered his body while his warm breath came closer to her. “Looks like that is what you’re thinking.”
“I’m not thinking that!” Han Muzi frustratingly pushed him away. How could I fall into his trap like that?
“Last time, who was the one… who hung her undergarment on my suit? And you dare to say that you weren’t implying something to me?” When he said those words, he moved his lips closer to her and gently brushed her ear.
Even though they had kissed since establishing their relationship, their bodies never had the urge to do something. Even if they did, it was suppressed due to their current relationship. However, the topic was actually brought up right now…
