Seeing that Han Muzi did not answer, Ye Moxuan repeated meaningfully, “Let’s put it another way: in your eyes, I’m a frivolous and untrustworthy person? Someone who’d cheat on his wife when she’s pregnant?”
Han Muzi remained silent for a moment. She was slightly shocked. Since when did Ye Moxuan become so good with his words? She was not able to construct a rebuttal.
Han Muzi suddenly thought of what happened in the past and remembered that he had a sharp tongue. He often argued until she had nothing to say, leaving her angry and frustrated. Has his true nature returned?
Han Muzi blinked, her eyelashes kept fluttering like two little fans. Her appearance almost made him unable to control himself and want to kiss her. However, thinking back to what she told him, Ye Moxuan remained silent for a few seconds and reached out to cover her eyes. His voice was hoarse as he said, “It’s fine if you don’t want me to touch you, but from now on, don’t look at me like that and don’t seduce me.”
Ye Moxuan could feel his body heat up thinking about the next seven months before Han Muzi gave birth. He would need to suppress his urges.
How am I seducing him? Can’t he see that I’m seriously rejecting him? Why is this seduction in his eyes?
After thinking about what he said, although her eyes were covered, there was not much difference between having her eyes covered or not due to the distance between them. She added with a faint tone, “Since when did I seduce you? I was rejecting you seriously…”
Ye Moxuan was speechless for a while.
“You’re the one who can’t control yourself. Like the previous time in the office where you were the one who wanted it, but still—mmph—” Before Han Muzi could finish her words, her mouth was forcefully covered by someone.
Ye Moxuan’s thin lips approached hers fiercely and were immediately removed as if it was a means of catharsis. From the kiss, Han Muzi sensed that he wanted to kiss her but did not dare to. He was afraid that he might not be able to control himself. After that, there were no signs of movement.
Han Muzi still could not see in the dark. She blinked and her eyelashes brushed across Ye Moxuan’s palm. She felt his body stiffen. In the next second, he got out of bed.
Han Muzi pulled aside the blanket at almost the same time and sat up. “Where are you going?”
He went into the bathroom without turning his head. “Shower.” Then, he slammed the bathroom door.
Han Muzi remained speechless.
…
The night was very dark, and the hustle and bustle gradually faded. There were fewer cars on the road, the shadows of the street lights were long, and some vehicles were running over the shadows. Xiao Su turned on his navigation and drove carefully.
Han Qing was sitting in the passenger seat. It might have been due to fatigue, but he closed his eyes and rested after getting into the car and conversing for a while with Xiao Su. There was no other sound in the car apart from the breathing of these two people.
Xiao Su suddenly thought that if Yan was here, the car would either be lively or fall into an odd silence. He was actually feeling a little uncomfortable with this peacefulness. The car soon arrived at their destination and stopped outside of the entrance of the hotel.
Han Qing, who was resting, opened his eyes as the car stopped. He then raised his eyes to glance at the scenery outside the window and turned his head to look at Xiao Su who was in the driver’s seat. “Thank you for making the trip here.”
Xiao Su nodded toward him. “You’re welcome, President Han. After all, you’re Young Lady Ye’s older brother. Young Master Ye was supposed to make this trip, but I came on behalf of him instead. This is also within the scope of my work.”
Since it was within the scope of his work, Han Qing did not say anything more and nodded before opening the door. Xiao Su also got out of the car and opened the trunk to help him take out his suitcase.
“Thank you.” Han Qing took the suitcase.
Seeing the man’s straight back, Xiao Su’s mind was filled with sadness and helplessness. Initially, he was supposed to just turn around and leave, but at the moment he could not help asking, “President Han, it seems that you aren’t in a good mood?” In the end, Xiao Su did not resist his urge and said something while facing the other party’s back.
Han Qing stopped in his steps and turned his head to meet Xiao Su’s gaze. “Why do you think so?”
Xiao Su did not speak and only stared at him with a heavy gaze.
Faintly curling his lips at him, Han Qing said, “Thanks for your hard work today. I’ve always been like this. Please be careful when you’re on the way back.”
Before he turned around this time, Xiao Su bit his teeth and said cruelly, “If you don’t like her, then I’ll take my chances.” He just wanted to test the waters by saying these words.
Doing it on behalf of Yan, he wanted to see if Han Qing would give a reaction. As long as he showed the slightest hesitance and perseverance, Xiao Su would retreat and stop disrupting Yan’s life. As such, he fixed his eyes on Han Qing after he finished speaking. A moment later, he felt disappointed. This was because he did not see any fluctuations on Han Qing’s face or his eyes—not even the slightest ripple.
“Assistant Xiao, you may have misunderstood things.” After a while, Han Qing finally spoke and explained word by word, “Yan is my sister’s friend. We’d inevitably run into each other, but there’s nothing between us.”
There was nothing at all. He denied everything in a clean-cut manner.
Taken aback, Xiao Su narrowed his eyes slightly. “You don’t even have the tiniest bit of feelings for her?” He did not believe it. The two had known each other for so long, and Yan had liked him for an equally long time. How could he be unmoved at this moment? Unless?
Xiao Su was thinking, President Han’s disguise is excellent, but because it’s too perfect, it’s making me have doubts. “So?”
With a calm expression, Han Qing said, “Regardless of whether I have feelings for her or not, this is my personal affairs. It has nothing to do with you, right?”
Xiao Su laughed at these words while feeling frustrated. He could not deny that what he said was right as he was the one being mouthy. “I know that I’m not in the position to ask you this, but it’s just that I don’t want her to get hurt.”
Han Qing’s sharp eyes fell on his face as if his eyes were deep enough to look into someone’s heart. “You’re only asking me this to make an excuse for yourself. You’ve forgotten that you don’t need my permission to do what you want.” After speaking, Han Qing retracted his gaze and did not look at Xiao Su again. While looking far into the distance, he said with a cold tone, “Since you’ve already asked, then I’ll make things clear: there’s no future between her and me.”
“Why’s that?” Xiao Su asked.
Han Qing smiled faintly. “Why do you like her?”
Xiao Su did not know how to reply.
“As you can see, there are many things that don’t need reasons or explanations.”
It was very rare that Xiao Su got to hear so many words come out of Han Qing’s mouth. Earlier, he had thought that Han Qing was angry. Unexpectedly, the man turned around and spoke so much.
