However, Han Muzi was oblivious to it. Besides, she wouldn’t have placed much thought into it. Even though there was cream on her lips, it was normal whenever someone was to eat something with cream on it. She just had to wipe it clean when she was done.
However, Han Muzi recalled something when she was eating halfway and she looked at Ye Moxuan. “I know you dislike sweet foods, but you have to consume something sugary. Hence, I bought dessert today.”
Ye Moxuan was at a loss for words. She bought desserts even when she knew I dislike it. Is she doing it on purpose? However…
Ye Moxuan squinted at her for a while. “How did you know what I like and what I don’t?”
Han Muzi’s heart sank. She knew his preferences from their previous relationship, but their recent interaction wouldn’t give her such definite information.
Han Muzi answered after a short pause, “I guessed as much.” She was afraid that Ye Moxuan became suspicious of her and explained hastily, “I prepare black coffee for you every day. It tastes so bitter, and if you prefer sweet delicacies, you would have instructed me to make a new one for you.” This makes sense and I have a point. It should work if I were to make an assumption based on this example.
He glanced at her lips which were smeared with cream. Yet, she seems to be oblivious to it because she is still speaking without a care in the world. She doesn’t even know the effect of having the white cream across her pink lips on me.
The traffic lights at the junction turned red. After the car stopped, Han Muzi was about to check how much time they had left on the traffic light display when Ye Moxuan lowered his head toward her unexpectedly. He hooked his hand behind her head and she was engulfed in darkness. His cold and dry lips pressed against hers suddenly.
Han Muzi opened her eyes widely in reflex and her breath got caught in her throat. She felt that he licked the cream away from her lips and soon, he tried to force open her mouth with his tongue. It felt like ages, but it didn’t seem like a long time before Ye Moxuan pulled back. He pressed his forehead against hers and the passion in his eyes still burned with fury. “Who says I do not like sweet foods?”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless by his reaction.
Ye Moxuan licked his lips openly in front of her before chuckling. “However, it truly is very sweet.”
Han Muzi blinked several times and she licked her lips instinctively. Did I have… cream on my lips just now when I was eating the cake?
He saw her doing that and it ignited his lust for her again. But, he noticed that the red traffic lights were about to turn green and he squinted at her. “Don’t seduce me when I’m driving.” He then pulled away from her and focused on his driving.
Han Muzi frowned when she heard that. Damn it! There he goes blaming me again. I’m just eating a cream cake. How does that count as seducing him? She felt frustrated and she took a huge bite of the cream cake aggressively before speaking in a muffled voice, “Did I somehow seduce you by just eating? Young Master Yuchi, how in love are you with me?”
Ye Moxuan’s hands stiffened on the steering wheel and he burst out laughing. “Do you not want to go to the airport anymore? Why don’t we go to a hotel instead?”
Han Muzi was at a loss for words at his response. She immediately kept quiet and pretended as if she said nothing. Then, she continued eating her food.
Han Muzi did not feel good from eating the entire cream cake. She glanced at the bag of desserts she bought and she recalled Ye Moxuan’s claims earlier. “Didn’t you say you like sweet stuff? This whole bag is for you then,” she stated.
Ye Moxuan shot her a glance in silence. It was about a half-an-hour or so drive to the airport. Time passed rather quickly if one said that it was a long journey, but it wasn’t exactly a short drive either because the journey would take at least half an hour. One was able to achieve many things within half an hour. For example, after devouring the cream cake, Han Muzi started to feel sleepy out of boredom in the passenger seat.
“Go ahead and nap if you’re sleepy. I will wake you up when we arrive.”
She heard Ye Moxuan speak from the driver seat to her, so she nodded sleepily. “Okay.” After that, she got her forty winks as soon as she leaned against the back of her seat.
There was a traffic light junction in front and after Ye Moxuan stopped his car, he noticed that her breathing was steady. Upon confirming that she was asleep, he increased the temperature in the car quietly. After driving through the traffic lights, it was obvious that Ye Moxuan drove slower than before.
There was an additional twenty minutes on the initial thirty-minute car ride to the airport. Han Muzi slept throughout the journey until she was woken up by her cell phone vibrating in her pocket. She only realized that they had arrived at the airport when she opened her eyes and her phone constantly vibrated in her pocket.
Han Muzi was stumped for a while, but she took her phone out to give it a check. True enough, it was Song An on the line.
She was in a slight daze from her sleep and she answered the phone call after glancing at Ye Moxuan, who observed her from the driver seat. “Aunty Song,” she greeted Song An directly in front of Ye Moxuan while observing his expression. However, he looked calm, as though it meant nothing to him.
“Mm-hmm,” Song An quietly answered on the other end of the line. “I just got off the plane and I’m heading toward the exit now. Did you…” She hesitated for a while before asking, “Is he with you now?” Her voice was so soft that Han Muzi might have missed it if she had not paid attention.
“Mm-hmm, I’m here.” Han Muzi nodded. After she replied to her, Han Muzi couldn’t help but admire how careful Song An was. She must be worried that Ye Moxuan might hear her if she was too loud and that’s why she’s whispering.
Upon hearing that, Song An nodded. “Alright, let’s meet at the exit.”
After ending the phone call, Han Muzi pocketed her phone before she unfastened her seatbelt.“I am going to the exit to wait for her. Do you want to stay in the car or…”
Before she finished her sentence, Ye Moxuan had already unfastened his seatbelt and opened the car door to get out. Han Muzi was stunned to silence by his quick actions, but she got out of the car as well.
Ye Moxuan stopped her when she was about to walk toward the exit after getting out of the car. After that, he took off his coat before placing it over her shoulders.
“No, you will be cold if you take that off,” Han Muzi protested .
Ye Moxuan buttoned the coat while instructing her coldly, “Stand still.”
Han Muzi had no choice but to stop struggling. Then, she stared at Ye Moxuan while he placed his coat over her. She blurted out, “But I’m not cold.”
Ye Moxuan glanced at her when he heard that. “You just woke up from a nap and the temperature is extremely low here. Are you trying to lie by claiming that you aren’t cold?” he asked frostily.
“Even if I’m cold, you shouldn’t just take your coat off because you will be even colder.”
After he placed the coat on her, Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but caress her earlobe gently. He observed her cute earlobe before pinching it gently and spoke in a quiet voice, “I am a man.”
Tsk. Han Muzi snorted in her heart. So what if you are a man? You are not a robot. How can you not feel cold? However, I know where he is coming from. It’s not that I just woke up from a nap, but he’s just afraid that I might catch a cold after coming out of the car.
