On the other side, Han Muzi had finally managed to put Ye Moxuan to sleep. It was hard to imagine that a big, strong man like him would have a day where he needed to be coaxed to sleep. Over the past few days, his sleep had been poor, most likely due to mental shock and mental abuse. He had been facing difficulties falling asleep, and when he did fall asleep, he would jerk awake with a start suddenly.
The situation was quite serious. Although there were no issues if it only lasted for a few days, if it went on for a long time, he would be experiencing mental problems. Faced with him in the situation, she felt very angry, yet her heart ached for him.
She was angry because he had done all these things on his own behind her back, while her heart ached for him because his mental health had deteriorated so badly. He had always been strong mentally, so for him to become like this indicated just how much he had been suffering recently. So, she could only continuously coax him to sleep. On the other hand, he seemed to be taking advantage of this opportunity. His hands touched and caressed her waist from time to time, then he hoarsely said, “I miss you. Only a kiss can cure me.”
Speechless, she wanted to slap his face and ask him when he became this shameless. But, when she saw his pale face and thin lips, she couldn’t bear to hurt him. So, she meekly lowered her head to kiss him.
At first, Han Muzi only intended to lightly press her lips against his to placate him. However, her lips had just touched his when Ye Moxuan immediately took over the reins. Pressing his large hands against the back of her head, he opened his mouth to kiss her.
“Mmph!” Han Muzi widened her eyes. How could this man be so shameless? She reached out her hands to push him away, but Ye Moxuan made a muffled grunt and spoke through his teeth, “I’m a patient right now. How can you bear to push me away?”
A patient? She sniggered in her heart. What kind of patient would have as much energy as he does? However, his thin lips were cold and dry, plus she had missed him greatly. In the end, she went along with his whims. Afterward, they snuggled together for quite a while. As there were people outside, and he was too tired to do what he wanted, they did not go overboard in their passion.
Before exiting the room, she went to the restroom to fix her appearance. Just as she came out of the room, she heard the door to the kitchen click shut. “Who went into the kitchen?” she asked. Then, her gaze fell onto the two people in the living room—Han Qing and Xiao Su. With that, she could guess who it was that had entered the kitchen.
Han Muzi recalled that Yan had just recovered from a severe fever, so she had not allowed Yan to cook recently; who knew she would start cooking today? Thus, she quickly headed over and pulled open the kitchen door. “Come out of there, Yan.”
Yan was dumbfounded. “What’s wrong?”
“Ye Moxuan hired a caretaker, so why are you going in there? Are you trying to snatch her job away from her?”
Yan remained silent for a while; her gaze was gloomy as she uttered, “I can’t get used to the food she makes, so I wanted to cook a meal myself.”
Han Muzi said nothing in reply.
“Anyway, it’s been a few days since I recovered from my fever. I’ve been running all over the place recently, and there’s nothing wrong with my body. Cooking a meal isn’t going to make me relapse. Why are you so worried?” Yan smiled as she walked over. “It’s fine; isn’t it, Muzi? Don’t tell me, it’s because you don’t want to eat the food I cook? If you don’t eat it now, when I go back after a few days, you won’t get to eat it anymore.”
“Go back?” At the mention of these two words, Han Muzi remembered her conversation with Ye Moxuan by the pool. He told me he would go back with me. At the thought, she smiled lightly. “Who said I won’t be able to eat it? If I can’t eat it here, can’t I eat it back in our home country?”
“Huh?” Surprised, it took Yan a while to react. “Do you mean… you’re going back to China too? What about Young Master Ye? Are you going to leave him here?”
“Idiot!” Han Muzi couldn’t help flicking Yan’s forehead with her finger. “If I go back, it’s definitely because I’m bringing him back with me!”
“Would… Old Master Yuchi agree to it?” In Yan’s eyes, Yuchi Jin wasn’t easy to get along with. Speaking about getting along, the key point was that he seemed to be displeased with Muzi. If Han Muzi brought Ye Moxuan back to China, she believed that based on Yuchi Jin’s personality, he wouldn’t agree to it, and might even resort to confining them.
At the mention of Yuchi Jin, a layer of worry crept across Han Muzi’s expression. That’s true. When Ye Moxuan agreed, she had immediately thought about this matter, feeling that he would never agree to it. However, she wasn’t the kind of person to give up simply because the other party didn’t consent to it. Be that as it may, he was Ye Moxuan’s grandfather and his savior. If he wasn’t there, then Ye Moxuan wouldn’t be here today. So… what am I worried about? She was afraid this matter would trouble the old man. After all, he was already in his later years. Right now, he probably just wanted to spend his time with his children and grandchildren. Looking at Yuchi Jin’s expression and eyes when he saw Song An, as well as Little Bean when they met at a later date, it was obvious that the old man just desired familial affection and company.
Perhaps… An idea formed in her mind and slowly took shape. After a moment, Han Muzi laughed lightly. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Those days are still far off in the future; let’s take it one day at the time for now.”
“Since when have you become so easy-going? It’s quite unsettling to see,” Yan responded.
Han Muzi walked inside. “I’ve always been this easy-going. It’s just that you didn’t know me well enough last time. Well, if you’re going to cook, then I’ll give you a hand.”
“You shouldn’t, considering you’re pregnant right now. I’m afraid if Young Master Ye knows that you’re cooking with me, he might murder me with his gaze.” Although she said that, she still moved aside to let Han Muzi squeeze in. It had been quite a while since the two of them stood side by side while cooking and chatting about silly nothings.
As they were chatting away happily, Yan suddenly brought up the matter involving Xiao Su to Han Muzi. Then, she couldn’t resist retorting, “Don’t you think that guy has a problem? On one hand, he asked me to put in a good word for his bonus pay; on the other hand, he seemed to have gotten angry. Isn’t he such a weird person? Am I still supposed to put in a good word for him?”
Han Muzi said nothing. Pausing the movements of her hands, she shot the complaining Yan a look. This girl… Is she blind? Why can’t she notice something as obvious as this? She didn’t know what to say at that moment; she just felt a sense of pity toward Xiao Su. If Xiao Su continued at this rate, she could almost guarantee that Yan would never figure out his feelings for her.
Her eyes spun in circles, hesitating over whether or not she should point out something, so that Yan, the fool that she was, would get a better understanding. As she was hesitating over it, Yan suddenly lifted her hand and loudly slammed the kitchen knife into the garlic, flattening it. “Besides, it’s weird. I feel like he’s being jealous… but I don’t have any evidence.”
Silently studying her, Han Muzi tentatively said, “Perhaps, he really is feeling jealous?”
