Ye Moxuan remained calm after he learned about the news that Duanmu Xue ran away after being agitated. In fact, he acted if it was not a big deal to him. His composed and unfazed appearance made George more nervous. “Did you even hear a word that I said just now?”
Seeing that George tried to help him with all that he could, Ye Moxuan stopped doing what he did and massaged between his eyebrows. He nodded before he answered in a grave voice, “Mm-hmm.”
George asked, “Why aren’t you reacting if you heard me? Don’t you think that things are becoming more serious now?”
“So?” Ye Moxuan shot him a glance. “Do you want me to act like you and start panicking to show that I care about this matter?”
George was rendered speechless by his reaction. It’s most probably impossible in my lifetime to witness someone as cold as an iceberg like Ye Moxuan panicking. He then smiled helplessly before whining, “Shouldn’t you at least do something even if you’re not showing your panic?”
Ye Moxuan did not answer him and, instead, he thought to himself, Luckily I had changed Muzi’s accommodation beforehand. The security around that residential neighborhood should be good enough. Besides, I drive her back and forth for work. Duanmu Xue would have trouble finding a chance even if she wanted to do something.
Upon considering that, Ye Moxuan instructed coldly, “Send out some people to look for her. Keep an eye on her in secret once they locate her. Inform me straight away if she starts something.”
George nodded. “Sure, are you protecting Muzi in person?”
“Otherwise, would you be the one protecting her?” Ye Moxuan shot him a steely stare that looked as venomous as a snake.
George couldn’t help but shudder with his lips twitching nervously. Who would have the courage to do so when he is so possessive of his wife? He is almost a borderline maniac. He then blurted out as if something struck him, “Grandfather Yuchi phoned me yesterday and told me that you didn’t go home last night. Were you with Muzi?”
Ye Moxuan opened a new folder and he maintained a stoic expression. He is… obviously acknowledging it by default.
George’s eyes widened before pointing at him. “Y-Y-You… You are much more like a beast than I’d have expected!” They are a couple for such a short time and he is already living together with her. Hang on, I almost forgot that he was about to get married to Han Muzi previously. Hence, it’s normal for them to cohabit. However, he has lost his memories.
George recalled his promise to Han Muzi that he would try to stimulate Ye Moxuan to regain his memories. After he considered his options, he dragged a stool to sit in front of Ye Moxuan. “Yuchi, do you still get headaches lately?”
Ye Moxuan paused when he heard that before he coldly gazed at George, pressing his lips into a thin line.
George chuckled mischievously. “I was wondering if you’ve recalled anything from the past.”
“What do you think I should recall?” he answered with a question.
George panicked immediately when he heard that. “Well, I’m just asking if you’ve recalled anything. Why are you asking me what you should be recalling? You are the one with the memories, not me. How would I know?”
Ye Moxuan’s pen scratched across the document as he scribbled his signature across the line. The words ‘Yuchi Shen’ was scrawled across the document and left a deep impression on the paper. “Since they are my memories, why are you in such a rush?”
George was rendered speechless by his reaction. He is such a pain to deal with. Isn’t he the least bit curious about his own memories at all?
George gritted his teeth. “Aren’t you curious about how you were in the past or the life you might have led? What about the friends you had… or perhaps… whether you had someone whom you loved?”
Smack! Ye Moxuan closed the documents with a smack before gazing at George frostily. “Why are you such a busybody?”
George knew that he crossed the line because Ye Moxuan had lost his patience. However, George was a bold person and so he continued, “No, I’m not. I just wanted to ask you, what if you had a wife and a kid previously? What do you plan to do if your wife and child show up out of the blue when you are with Muzi? Do you choose your wife and child or would you choose Muzi?”
Ye Moxuan was at a loss for words. George looked pleased with himself when he observed Ye Moxuan and his darkened gaze.
“I don’t mind throwing you out of the building if you continue with your nonsense.”
George’s expression changed drastically when he heard that. “Damn it, that’s murder. Can’t I help you recall the past? Who else acts like you do? You don’t even care that you can barely recall the past!” He exclaimed loudly while straightening his clothes and snapped in frustration, “Forget it! I am sick of being concerned about you. I’m leaving now.”
After George left the office, he rubbed his chin. Yuchi is so stubborn that it’s almost impossible to get a thing into his head. Does he not want to recall the past because he is too comfortable with his current situation? That’s not surprising because he obviously… cares deeply for Muzi. Although he is in love with the same person as before, it’s rather odd that he has lost that part of his memories.
On the other side, Ye Moxuan scowled deeply after George left. He was not the kind of person who would easily be manipulated. However, after knowing George for such a long time, he had never asked him about his past. There must be something going on for him to ask this question out of the blue. My past memories…
Ye Moxuan drummed his fingers across the desk rhythmically and continuously. He tried his best to recall, but he was greeted with nothing but a blank canvas. What have I forgotten from my past?
…
In the last few days, Duanmu Xue did not successfully enter the Yuchi Group, which made Old Master Yuchi upset about it. He wanted to make use of his power to fire Han Muzi, but was afraid that it might cause an embarrassment if he overrode his grandson’s position within the company. However, if he did nothing, Duanmu Xue wouldn’t stand a chance to enter the company since Han Muzi would still be around. Thus, Old Master Yuchi directly targeted Han Muzi.
However, that brat, Ye Moxuan, drives her back and forth from work and he even moves her into a new accommodation in the end. He is so careful that there isn’t a minute chance for me to do anything. Old Master Yuchi was so frustrated at this thought that his blood pressure dangerously peaked.
He had no choice but to let Yu Bo figure a way out. By asking Han Muzi out to meet and sorting things out with her, Old Master Yu planned to make her fly back to China and never pester Ye Moxuan ever again. In the end, before they came up with a plan, the Duanmu Family phoned to inform him that Duanmu Xue was missing.
Old Master Yuchi steadied himself to prevent himself from collapsing after he learnt of the shocking news and asked calmly, “What happened?”
Yu Bo explained in resignation, “Rumor has it that Young Master Zhe feels that Miss Xue is mentally unstable, and so he brought her to a psychologist. However, she was reluctant and it resulted in her rebellious state of mind, causing her to run away.”
“What?” Yuchi Jin smacked the armrest before he stood up abruptly. “Isn’t Duanmu Zhe acting foolishly? Why would he take her to see a psychologist when she is perfectly fine?”
Yu Bo was at a loss for words as well. “I’m not sure about that either.”
Yuchi Jin barked, “You have to immediately send people out to search for her. When a girl goes missing, nothing good can ever come out of it!”
