After what had happened last night, his first reaction when he regained his consciousness was to hug Han Muzi, but he found out that his arms were empty. When he opened his dark eyes, he couldn’t find any traces of her.
Ye Moxuan quickly removed the blanket and woke up, realizing that the bed sheet and quilt were wrinkled up. He called out for her another time, but there was no response from her and he stood up to put on some clothes before he searched the room. At the end, the room was quiet and there weren’t any traces of Han Muzi.
Ye Moxuan sat by the bed with him being the only one in the room. If not for the wrinkles on the bed sheet, he would have doubted whether what happened last night was true. After a moment of silence, he took out his phone to call Han Muzi. A beep later, two beeps later, three beeps later… At the end, all he heard was the voice of a cold and polite woman apologizing, “I’m sorry. The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”
Ye Moxuan frowned as his delicate fingers continued to dial the phone, but his calls went unanswered. His eyebrows furrowed even more as the grip on his phone tightened. Don’t tell me, she regretted what happened last night? Is that why she left at the crack of dawn and refused to answer my calls? When that thought popped up in his mind, his eyelids twitched. He immediately rose to his full height to head outside, but stopped in his tracks when he passed by the bathroom.
Looking inside, he saw that both of their clothes from last night were already in the washing machine, but it wasn’t switched on yet. Maybe it was because she was afraid of waking him up earlier in the morning. Ye Moxuan’s eyes darkened when he saw this.. If she had really regretted it, she would’ve just packed her things and left without doing all these.
He stood still and quietly looked at the washing machine before going back into the room. It was at this time that he noticed Han Muzi’s luggage was still there and only her purse and phone were gone. Maybe she just went out, he thought to himself.
Ye Moxuan further thought, As for her not answering her phone, she might have silenced her phone or it was too noisy outside for her to hear it ringing. He comforted himself as all of it seemed to make sense.
However, when he closed his eyes, he thought of the scene last night, which made him feel like a monster. She helped me because she was worried. Does that even give me the right to lose control? We just got together not too long ago and we slept together in the end because I was drugged. Come to think of it, I have definitely wronged her. So, if she got angry and left, I suppose it’s normal for her to do so.
A while later, Ye Moxuan had trouble sitting still to wait for Han Muzi, so he called someone to help him check on her location. Soon after, the building’s surveillance footage was sent to his email and he clicked on it to have a look. He realized that when she went out, there was nothing out of the ordinary with her. Her facial expression and body language were all normal, except that she had a weird posture when she walked.
Ye Moxuan fell silent as he remembered how rough he was with her last night and how Han Muzi had constantly begged him to be gentle with her. This recollection darkened his eyes while his throat continuously rolled. She tasted… as good as he had expected. Even though he was under the influence of drugs, he was aware that even if he was sober, he would still have had the same reaction when he faced her.
He saw that she picked up her phone and by the looks of it, she was just heading outside. Afterward, he received news that she went out together with Song An. Hearing Song An’s name left Ye Moxuan startled. Isn’t that her aunt?
“Young Master Xuan, she went with Song An to—”
“Alright,” Ye Moxuan interrupted him. “I understand.” Since she went out with Song An, then there shouldn’t be any problem. After all, she was just a girl, so she would want a close relative to console her, especially what had happened last night.
Ye Moxuan did not delve too much into it later, so the person who looked into it could only keep the news about Han Muzi and Song An heading to the hospital to himself. Forget it, he thought to himself. If Young Master Xuan doesn’t want to know about it, then there’s no point for me to say it either.
It was probably because Ye Moxuan was afraid of losing Han Muzi that he continuously rang her phone. Finally, she answered the call. Her voice sounded normal, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Therefore, he let out a sigh of relief.
…
Han Muzi went to a nearby supermarket and purchased some daily essentials that were light enough for her to carry before she prepared to return home. However, she had not expected Ye Moxuan to pick her up himself when she exited the supermarket.
He went to her and took the bags in her hand before speaking in a low voice, “Why did you go out without saying a word?”
He wore a gray coat and his eyes were deep while he pressed his lips. There seemed to be nothing wrong with him. Yes, he is alright now, she thought. She was freaked out when she saw his purplish lips and lustful face last night.
Han Muzi held onto his hand naturally. “I saw that you were asleep, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”
Ye Moxuan remained silent before he squinted his eyes and said in a deep husky voice, “Are you not tired? Last night was…”
Before he finished his sentence, Han Muzi’s face suddenly blushed as she cut him off. “Don’t you say it.” Last night… he really was… When she thought of how he forced her to be assertive, her ears started to turn red again.
Seeing her shy face, all the sadness in his heart suddenly disappeared all at once. Then, it was replaced by her red face and blushing ears. Her face…
Ye Moxuan’s black eyes sparkled as his throat continued to roll while he restrained himself by diverting his sight. After that, he held her delicate hands with his big palms and said in a husky voice, “Alright. I won’t say it.” She actually thought that he was being honest, but he later followed it up with another sentence. “I’ll just do it.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless. Before this, it was only her ears and face that blushed, but now the redness had spread to her neck while she used all of her strength to poke his palm with her finger. She had no idea if her pinch was hurting Ye Moxuan or not because she was only aware that his eyes filled with the joy of being pampered. With his huge figure next to her, it looked like a parent coaxing his child and as long as the child was willing, he would let her do anything that she wanted.
A while later, Han Muzi retracted her hands when she remembered the doctor’s advice while she was in the hospital, so she murmured, “We can’t… do it again.” My baby isn’t even three months old and if something like last night ever happened again, I wouldn’t know what would happen to the child. Although the baby is alright this time, I still had signs of miscarriage and the blood stains itself are enough to shock the life out of me.
Ye Moxuan had no idea what her thoughts were, but after he listened to her, he thought that he had scared her last night. So, he slightly curled up his lips. “Next time… I will be gentle.”
