Han Muzi shook her head after thinking about it and whispered, “I’m not sure either. I’ll just go with the flow for now.”
Song An took a close look at her and finally stroked her hand, saying, “It must be hard for you, child.”
The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard the sound of someone opening the door. Han Muzi’s ears moved as she looked over. “Moxuan has gotten off work already. Aunty, stay back and have lunch here with us this afternoon.”
After thinking for a moment, Song An nodded and accepted the offer. Han Muzi then left for the kitchen and suddenly thought of something upon entering the door. That night when Ye Moxuan was drugged, she had called out his real name while in a confused state. But judging from how Ye Moxuan had been acting these past few days, it did not seem like he knew.
When Ye Moxuan entered the house, he saw another person in the house—Han Muzi’s aunt. After a pause, he nodded to Song An and greeted her. “Aunty Song, you’re here as well?”
Song An looked at him with a smile and nodded. “Just got off work?”
“Yes.” Ye Moxuan nodded. It was already afternoon, and although he could have had lunch in the company, he still rushed back as he figured Han Muzi was home alone.
Song An was alone in the living room, so he thought that Han Muzi should be in the kitchen. Song An also said at this time, “Muzi is in the kitchen.”
“Okay, you have a seat first. I’ll take a look in the kitchen.” He immediately went to the kitchen and locked the door as soon as he entered. Han Muzi was preparing to cook when she heard the sound of the door closing and turned around to see Ye Moxuan’s frowning face. “Didn’t you hire a nanny? Where is she?”
“Aunty Song came and I had things to talk to her about. There’s nothing to do here, so I let the nanny go back first.” The house was cleaned up and she did not even need to do grocery shopping herself since the nanny had already stocked up the fridge. The vegetables and meat in the kitchen were all washed and prepared, so she just needed to cook them. It was pretty easy.
However, Ye Moxuan was still frowning. “Didn’t I ask you to rest well? If you keep doing all these, how would you—”
“It’s just for a while. I can cook very fast, so you just wait for me outside.”
Ye Moxuan remained silent. Not only did he stay, but he stepped forward and hugged her waist while whispering, “We haven’t been spending much time together, but you still want to cook and leave me aside?” After saying that, he pinched her chin while leaning over and lowering his head to kiss her.
There was a shadow in front of her eyes, and before Han Muzi came back to her senses, she had already been kissed by him. She was stunned for a few seconds before she subconsciously turned her face to the left to avoid him. Are you kidding me? Song An is in the house now but he’s just kissing me regardless of that. Wouldn’t it be very awkward if she sees it? It was already shameful that she had told Song An about the previous incident regarding her bleeding. And now…
Han Muzi pushed him while evading. Ye Moxuan just grabbed both her hands while mouthing, “Just let me kiss you for a bit longer.”
“No!” She shook her head while her face was as red as an apple. “My aunt’s outside. She’ll see us.”
He had tasted her sweetness just now, but it faded soon after that. A hint of dissatisfaction was in his dark eyes. “I’ve locked the door. She won’t see it.”
Han Muzi said, “You even locked the door?” Well, aren’t you the sneaky one? Han Muzi saw that he was unsatisfied, and her face reddened more as she bit her lip. “Anyway, it’s a no. Go out. I need to cook.” She wanted to push him out, but his burning body remained unmoved and her hands were held by him. She then said to him hopelessly, “Fine… You can kiss me for a while more, but just a while!”
As she warned sternly, Ye Moxuan’s deep eyes suddenly brightened up. Before she started counting the time, he lowered his head and kissed her again while she closed her eyes with resignation. She felt bad as Song An was outside while they were in here making out.
Five minutes later…
Han Muzi hit Ye Moxuan’s chest while panting. Gritting her teeth, she said, “I thought I told you that you can only kiss me for a while more?” She was already failing to catch her breath after he had kissed her for so long. He probably would not have stopped if it was not for her biting his lips.
Ye Moxuan had not kept track of the time, but he felt the kiss was not long enough. However, seeing his little woman looking nervous and scared, he had no choice… but to stop. He took her into his arms and smiled. “Wasn’t it just for a while?”
Han Muzi was speechless. Whatever. She was lazy to argue with him since she would always be the losing one. She pushed him again after thinking about it. “Hurry out. My aunt will know what we’re doing if you’re in here for too long.”
“Doing what?” Ye Moxuan asked her back shamelessly, adding, “I’m helping you cook. What’s wrong with that?”
“The nanny has already washed the vegetables and cut the meat. All the ingredients are ready, so what could you possibly do here? Fry vegetables? Or… do you want to kill a fish?” The last sentence came suddenly as she could not help but ridicule him. Normally, he was the one who bullied her, so she needed to get back at him.
Ye Moxuan’s face darkened when she talked about killing a fish. He then replied solemnly, “That was an accident.”
“So what you mean is that if a similar incident happens again, you’ll be able to handle it with ease then?” Han Muzi’s face was all smiles when she said that. In fact, she rarely talked to him with this sort of tone and expression. Her usually clear eyes were now full of slyness as she put on a malicious smile.
Ye Moxuan did not know that his woman had such a side to her, so it came as a surprise. His black eyes darkened further as he pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to hold her waist; he gently squeezed her. “Are you teasing me?”
The man’s warm breath sprayed on Han Muzi’s face, causing the smile on her lips to stiffen.
“Are you ready to pay the price for teasing me?” As his hand slowly moved upward, she froze, and even the malicious smile on her lips disappeared. After a while, she pushed down his large hand and said angrily, “Get out! Immediately! Now!” She was acting crazy.
The smile on Ye Moxuan’s lips only widened. “When you were teasing me earlier, weren’t you very courageous? What happened to that courage?”
Lowering her face, she said, “If you still don’t get out, I won’t give you any food for lunch. You’ll just have to go back to the company with an empty stomach.”
Fine, she’ll show her claws if I continue. Ye Moxuan stopped and withdrew his hand. “Fine, I’ll get you back tonight.”
After Ye Moxuan left, Han Muzi stood alone in the kitchen while blushing furiously. She had been in the kitchen for such a long time now; how would she face Song An when she stepped out later?
