“What?” Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Do you have any objections?”
Startled, Shen Qi lowered her eyes unconsciously. “No, nothing at all.”
It was just that she thought it was weird. Obviously, Ye Moxuan hated her before, but just because they slept together, he changed his mind? This sounded unbelievable.
She wanted to ask him if he minded that the child in her belly was not his.
But when the words reached her lips, Shen Qi swallowed them back.
What was she looking forward to? He didn’t like this child since the beginning, and he even wanted her to have an abortion before this. Although Shen Qi didn’t know why he suddenly changed his mind, they had also made a deal for her to leave here after six months.
After she got back into the room, Shen Qi became silent.
Then, Ye Moxuan returned her both of her cell phones.
“That woman gave it to you?”
At first, Shen Qi was taken aback, and when she realized who the woman he was talking about was, she frowned. “Xueyou has a name. Don’t talk of her this way!”
After she entered her fingerprint into her phone, she asked, “You didn’t touch my phone, did you?”
There was anger hidden between Ye Moxuan’s brows. “Are you keeping anything from me?”
With that, Shen Qi raised her head to meet his gaze. “I don’t have any secrets. I just don’t like others peeping into my privacy. I’m sure you have your own privacy too!”
Ye Moxuan sneered. “Is there any privacy between husband and wife?”
Shen Qi was speechless upon hearing that.
Weren’t they just in a marriage of convenience? They were not a real couple, after all.
But she didn’t tell Ye Moxuan that. She just turned around and kept her phone away. After that, she packed her clothes and announced, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Then, she went into the bathroom.
After taking a hot shower, Shen Qi returned to her bed.
Ye Moxuan was not in the room, so she hurriedly hid under the blanket and looked at WeChat in her phone to check her chat history with Han Xueyou.
Then, she happened to see Han Xueyou texting her.
“Qi, do you have time tomorrow? Let’s meet.”
Seeing this message, Shen Qi felt her heart beat faster.
“What happened?”
“You’ve finally answered me. I thought you’re ignoring me.”
“Xueyou?”
“No, I just have something to tell you.”
“Okay. Let’s meet after I get off work tomorrow.”
After they had decided on a time, Shen Qi quickly cleared their previous chat records. Shen Qi finally felt relieved seeing the chat history empty.
After putting away the phone, Shen Qi put the blanket on herself and got ready to go to bed.
Perhaps because she was too tired last night, Shen Qi soon fell asleep.
When she was still asleep in the middle of the night, Shen Qi felt a soft touch on her lips, but it quickly disappeared.
She rolled over and continued to sleep.
The next day.
When Shen Qi woke up, Ye Moxuan had already come out of the bathroom.
She usually woke up earlier than Ye Moxuan, but today, she actually…
Thinking of this, Shen Qi quickly got up and went into the bathroom to freshen herself up. Then, Ye Moxuan’s cold voice came from outside. “Hurry up.”
Shen Qi paused and nodded unconsciously.
When she finished packing, she thought that Ye Moxuan had already left. Unexpectedly, he was waiting for her outside.
“W-Why are you still here?” Shen Qi asked in a peculiar tone.
Ye Moxuan’s facial expression was a little awkward, and he was a little frustrated when he spoke.
“This is my room. Why can’t I be here?”
“No, I mean—why haven’t you gone to the company?”
He would already have left at this time in the past. Shen Qi usually waited for him to leave before taking the bus.
The blue vein on Ye Moxuan’s forehead throbbed. “Come and push me.”
“Okay.” Shen Qi didn’t disobey his order, and she walked over obediently and pushed him downstairs. Then, she settled him down in the car and prepared to leave.
When Shen Qi wanted to get out of the car, Ye Moxuan asked coldly behind her, “Where are you going?”
Upon hearing that, Shen Qi turned around. “I’m taking the bus to work.”
Ye Moxuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Shouldn’t you take my car? Do you have to take the bus in front of me?”
Shen Qi didn’t understand what had happened, but she didn’t say much and walked back to sit beside him.
When they arrived at the company, many people couldn’t help whispering among themselves when they saw Shen Qi getting off Ye Moxuan’s car.
“What’s going on? Isn’t that Assistant Shen? Why is she getting out of Young Master Ye’s car?”
“Yeah, didn’t Young Master Ye come from the Ye residence? How could Assistant Shen be with him? Are there some secrets?”
“Young Master Ye never had a female assistant before. One day, Assistant Shen suddenly appeared and became his assistant; now, she is coming to work in the same car as him. Hah! I guess a woman like her is just good in bed without any true capabilities.”
“Tsk! That’s what I thought! She looks like she doesn’t know anything—how can she be his assistant? She doesn’t have the looks nor the figure. What does Young Master Ye see in her?”
“My dear, although Young Master Ye is the president of Ye Group, he is a handicapped person after all, and I heard that he has erectile dysfunction! I wonder what kind of technique this woman used.”
“Shhh, it’s always a taboo to talk about Young Master Ye’s problem. How dare you say it out loud? Are you looking for death?”
“What are you afraid of? We’re just talking about it. It’s not like he can hear us, anyway.”
When she was pushing Ye Moxuan to the exclusive elevator for the president, Shen Qi felt a lot of people looking at her on the way, and she could feel them whispering to each other without having to look back.
They must be discussing her relationship with Ye Moxuan.
Looking at the back of Ye Moxuan’s head, she wondered why he suddenly asked her to get in his car to come to the company today. Could it be because…
Thinking of that incident, Shen Qi’s expression changed slightly.
If her relationship with Ye Moxuan had changed because of that incident, she would rather not welcome it.
Although she didn’t know why, Shen Qi unconsciously resisted the relationship they had established because of that kind of thing.
She was very resistant.
After pushing Ye Moxuan into his office, Shen Qi went to the pantry to make coffee for him.
When Shen Qi went in to deliver him coffee, she noticed Ye Moxuan’s gaze and avoided it.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go work first.”
After speaking, Shen Qi quickly returned to her table without waiting for his answer.
When Ye Moxuan looked at her leaving figure that looked as if she was fleeing, he couldn’t help narrowing his eyes.
She seems to be avoiding me.
Why is that?
Shen Qi spent the morning getting to know Fang Group and then went downstairs to grab lunch when it was time.
She had completely forgotten about coming to work with Ye Moxuan in the morning. Only when she saw the strange gazes in the cafeteria did she suddenly remember that.
“Oh, if it isn’t Assistant Shen.”
Two to three girls sat down opposite her together.
“You’ve already hooked up with Young Master Ye; why do you still come to the cafeteria?”
“Well, it’s just a hookup, after all—she is not his proper partner. If she doesn’t eat at the cafeteria, is she supposed to eat with the Ye family?”
Shen Qi was speechless and thought, Are they trying to pick a fight?
