Achoo!
Shen Qi suddenly sneezed in her sleep and then woke up after that.
She looked at the ceiling in the room dazedly for a while before reacting and unconsciously pulling the blanket.
However, another pair of hands moved faster than her—before she could reach the blanket, he had already covered her up with it.
Shen Qi looked at the man.
“Y-Young Master Ye…” Shen Qi called his name, trying to sit up.
Ye Moxuan shot a glance at her and said in a cold voice, “You’ve only been asleep for half an hour, yet you’ve already kicked the blanket off. Are you a three-year-old?”
This cold and doting tone made Shen Qi lay there stunned, looking at him without knowing what to do.
What is going on with Ye Moxuan?
“I-I don’t know what’s wrong with me either.” In the end, Shen Qi could only stammer as she explained to him.
She seemed to have a habit of kicking the blanket away, but she didn’t expect Ye Moxuan would help her put it back.
“Silly.” Ye Moxuan glanced at her before retracting his gaze.
The single word made Shen Qi flush red, and she was going to bite her lower lip unconsciously, but Ye Moxuan’s voice rang faintly. “Your previous injury is still not healed. Do you want to add new injuries to yourself?”
Upon hearing that, Shen Qi stopped her action and gave him a complicated look.
“Since you’re up now, let’s clean up and go home.” With that, Ye Moxuan turned around and pushed the wheelchair away to leave her bed.
Shen Qi stayed still for a while before putting away the blanket and sitting up. When she was about to ask what she was going to wear, she saw a set of clothes at the end of the bed, which seemed to be prepared for her.
She then got up and took the clothes to the bathroom.
Aftering hearing the sound of her movements, Ye Moxuan turned his head around and saw that Shen Qi’s walking posture was extremely strange, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile unconsciously.
After Shen Qi got changed, she sighed again when she looked at the marks on her body. She was quite annoyed by the marks before, but now that she knew that Ye Moxuan who was the perpetrator, her mood immediately became less gloomy than before.
After changing, Shen Qi slowly walked out of the bathroom and went to Ye Moxuan’s front.
“Shall we go back now?”
Ye Moxuan stared at her.
The sky blue dress which was taken from his wardrobe at home outlined her figure very exquisitely, but… Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly took off his coat.
“Put it on.”
Shen Qi paused and took the coat, but she didn’t put it on.
“Do you dislike it?” he asked.
Hearing that, Shen Qi shook his head.
“Then why don’t you wear it?”
Shen Qi whispered, “I bet this coat is quite expensive. If I wear it, you have to throw it away again. I think I’ll just give it back to you now.” After speaking, Shen Qi reached out and handed the coat back.
Ye Moxuan was stunned by her words, for he did not expect that she would make a fuss about that. His beautiful brows were twisted together into a frown, and his voice dropped a few degrees. “Are you planning to go back to the Ye family to announce to everyone what happened between us last night?”
When Shen Qi heard that, she froze, and her face turned a little pale.
“No, I’m not!”
She would never dare to do that, and such thoughts had never even crossed her mind.
Then, Shen Qi also understood in an instant that he gave her his coat because he didn’t want the people of the Ye family to see the marks on her.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi silently donned the coat on her body, covering her neck tightly.
She looked like a child wearing an adult’s clothes when she put it on. Though it was quite awkward-looking, Ye Moxuan felt that the way she looked in his coat was quite pleasing to the eye for some reason. He then withdrew his gaze and said coldly, “Let’s go.”
“Alright.” Shen Qi then followed him out of the ward.
Although a day had passed, Shen Qi’s walking posture was still quite weird. She felt that her legs were sore for every step she took. However, if she continued walking like this, what would happen if she was suspected when she saw the Ye family? Hence, Shen Qi could only force herself to walk in a normal posture.
After getting in the car, Shen Qi suddenly remembered something.
“Where is my phone?”
Ye Moxuan ignored her.
Shen Qi was a little anxious because her cell phone was confiscated by Ye Moxuan before this. After that, Han Xueyou gave her another phone, but she had lost it again. She wondered if it was taken away by Lu Xunchang or was confiscated by Ye Moxuan again.
“Young Master Ye, you once said that as long as I accompanied you to the banquet, you would return the phone to me.”
Young Master Ye?
Ye Moxuan frowned. “What did you just call me?”
Shen Qi paused for a moment before replying, “I-I called you Young Master Ye. Is there anything wrong?”
“Who allowed you to call me like this?” Ye Moxuan growled at her in a low voice irritably.
Shen Qi cowered in fright and hid into his suit.
“Weren’t you the one who asked me to address you this way?”
Ye Moxuan ordered, “You are not allowed to call me this in the future.”
Shen Qi asked, “Then what shall I call you?”
In that instant, Ye Moxuan couldn’t answer her question either. However, he suddenly turned his head around and looked at her viciously before warning her, “Anyhow, you are not allowed to call me that!”
There was silence in the air. Then, Shen Qi looked at him for a while before lowering her head.
“Got it. Then when will you return the phone to me?”
“You’re going on and on about cell phones. What else do you think about besides cell phones?” Ye Moxuan was really going to be driven crazy by the woman in front of him. Was the most important thing now her phone?
Shen Qi felt wronged to be scolded by him, so her eyes turned red involuntarily. “You told me that as long as I went to the banquet with you, you would give me my phone back. I’m not begging you to do that!”
Seeing that she was about to cry, Ye Moxuan felt helpless. “I’ll return it to you when we reach the house.”
Only then did silence fall in the car.
Xiao Su, who was sitting in front, felt a little awkward.
Why do I feel that Young Master Ye is a little… childish?
And why is he so flustered? He is always so cryptic.
The car quickly arrived at the Ye residence. When Shen Qi got out of the car, her leg was so sore that she almost fell down. Fortunately, she caught herself from falling just in time.
Then, she followed Ye Moxuan into the Ye residence. In the living room, Old Master Ye and Ye Linhan were both there. Ye Linhan even got up and smiled at them when he saw them.
“Moxuan, Shen Qi, you guys are back?”
“Yeah.” Ye Moxuan nodded without even looking at them and just walked toward the elevator.
Irritated by his attitude, Old Master Ye stood up. “Stop right there! Do you still have any respect for me?”
Duh, obviously not.
Otherwise, Ye Moxuan would not have walked past him without even greeting him.
When Ye Moxuan stopped, Shen Qi didn’t dare to move forward. She just unconsciously tightened the coat on her body to make sure that the marks on her neck were not revealed.
“Is there anything else?” Ye Moxuan’s voice was cold.
Old Master Ye stood there and sneered, “What are you going to do with the Lu family? Previously, you made one of them disabled; what are you going to do this time? How did Lu Xunchang offend you, anyway?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi’s heart sank.
Was it because of the Lu family that Old Master Ye lost his temper? Since the last incident, Shen Qi was now very worried that Ye Moxuan would take action against Lu Xunchang. This time… she wondered what he would do to Lu Xunchang.
“I don’t think I need to report to you what he has done to offend me.”
