Shen Qi didn’t know about Han Xueyou’s peculiar and hesitant thoughts.
After leaving Han Xueyou, she went directly to the Ye residence.
After returning, Shen Qi suddenly found that her little bed was missing.
Shen Qi’s expression suddenly changed while she recalled the time when she could only sleep on the floor or sit outside when she first arrived at the Ye family. After some time, Xiao Su probably thought that her situation was quite miserable, so he gave her a small bed so that she could sleep peacefully at night.
But now, the little bed was somehow gone, and that made Shen Qi panic.
She wondered if Ye Moxuan suddenly became angry at her and asked the servants to get rid of her bed.
Shen Qi stood rooted to the ground, feeling at a loss.
Suddenly, two maids walked in and greeted her when they saw her.
“Second Young Lady.”
Upon hearing that, Shen Qi only then recovered to her senses and glanced back at them. She nodded at them, realizing that they were holding her clothes in their hands.
“What are you doing?” Shen Qi asked with a frown on her face. Then, she looked back at the position where her bed had been. “Were you packing my things up?”
The two maids nodded. “Young Master Ye has asked us to pack your things up.”
Shen Qi blanched upon hearing that. Pack my things up?
Why does this sound as if he is chasing me out?
“W-Why?” Shen Qi asked tensely as blood gradually faded from her lips.
The two maids glanced at each other in confusion and shook their heads. “We don’t know either. Young Master Ye ordered us to do this—we’re just following his orders.”
Shen Qi was suddenly speechless.
It took a long time before she spoke. “Where is he?”
“He is in the study.”
“Got it.”
Without any hesitation, Shen Qi walked to the study immediately.
Sure enough, the light in the study was still on. When Shen Qi reached the door, she saw that Xiao Su was also inside.
When Xiao Su heard her approaching, he glanced at her and whispered to Ye Moxuan, “Young Master Ye, Assistant Shen is here. I shall take my leave first.”
“Alright.” Ye Moxuan was still looking at the computer screen when he answered him coldly.
With that, Xiao Su left the study and walked past Shen Qi.
Shen Qi stood outside the door for a while before entering the study. Then, she walked to Ye Moxuan’s side and stared at his lean back intently.
Ye Moxuan knew that she was here, but he did not pay any attention to her, with his eyes still focused on the computer screen. Shen Qi stood there for a while, not knowing how to start the conversation. She wanted to ask him directly for the reason he moved the bed away. Was he going to chase her to sleep outside again?
But when she wanted to say it out loud, the words were stuck in her throat, making her unable to utter a single word.
In the end, Ye Moxuan took the initiative to speak. “Is he gone?” he asked in a low voice that was void of all emotions.
Shen Qi pursed her lips and nodded. “Yeah.”
Ye Moxuan typed on the keyboard while quietly saying, “I’m still busy with some work. Go check if the servant has finished packing up your things.”
Shen Qi was speechless when she heard that.
Does he have to tell me so openly?
Shen Qi tightened her fist silently. But in the end, she still didn’t say a word and turned around angrily to leave.
She thought, He is already chasing me out so explicitly. There’s no reason for me to stay anymore, then.
It’s better to just pack my things up and leave.
When she reached the door, Ye Moxuan’s voice rang unexpectedly.
“I have already asked the servants to replace the pillows to be the same as mine. If you are not used to silk, you can always ask them to change it.”
One of Shen Qi’s feet was already out of the door, yet when she heard him, she took her foot back, thinking that she had heard him wrongly. Immediately, she turned around incredulously.
“What did you just say?”
Ye Moxuan finally retracted his gaze from the computer screen and looked at her fair face directly. “What? You still want to sleep in a separate bed as me?”
Shen Qi’s lips trembled as she was at a loss for words.
Thinking that she was dissatisfied, Ye Moxuan frowned unhappily. “What’s the problem?”
Shen Qi unconsciously licked her lips and shook her head. “No, nothing at all. You took my bed away so that I can sleep together with you?”
She still found it difficult to believe.
Ye Moxuan had actually offered to share a bed together with her.
Is he alright?
However, the more doubtful and uncertain Shen Qi’s expression was, the more unhappy Ye Moxuan became.
“It isn’t weird to sleep together as husband and wife, is it?”
Shen Qi recovered to her senses and nodded, but she then shook her head again. “No, it’s not weird.”
In fact, she felt quite confused. It was obvious that their relationship was quite tense and bad before, but now, he was suddenly acting like they were a normal couple. Was it because of that night she slept with him?
Shen Qi couldn’t pinpoint how she felt right now, but it was definitely not a good feeling.
“I see. I’ll go take a look first.” With that, Shen Qi left the study as if she was fleeing from him.
When she returned to the room, one of the maids walked up to her.
“Second Young Lady, your pillows and blanket have been sorted out. We have prepared silk covers for you. If you are dissatisfied with anything, just tell us.”
Shen Qi shook her head. “I’m good.”
“If there is no other order from you, we will take our leave.”
“Alright.”
After they left, Shen Qi walked slowly toward the only bed in the room.
Standing by the bed, Shen Qi looked indifferent.
This bed belonged to Ye Moxuan. She had only slept here on their wedding day—at that time, she was still in a wedding dress. After that, she dared not approach here anymore. In the past, there was only one pillow that belonged to Ye Moxuan here. However, there was a light pink pillow next to Ye Moxuan’s, which matched his light blue pillow.
The blanket had also been changed to one with pink and blue stripes that was obviously from the same set as the pillows.
Shen Qi’s expression was very complicated while her hands that were hanging by her side tightened silently.
If this was just because of what happened that night, because he felt sorry for her, or other emotions that caused a change in him, then she really didn’t need it.
But… deep down, she yearned for such warm emotions.
Ye Moxuan might look cold on the outside, but he was actually quite a warm person.
This was something unexpected.
“Are you satisfied with what you see?” An icy voice came from behind her, bringing Shen Qi back to her senses. She immediately jerked her head backward and saw Ye Moxuan entering the room in a wheelchair before arriving in front of her in no time.
Shen Qi’s hand was still on the blanket. When she saw him, she retracted her hand nervously and got up while looking at him flusteredly.
Ye Moxuan’s eyes were fixated on her face, as if he was looking for some emotion on her face.
“Err… I thought you didn’t like others getting close to you. We made an agreement before that you wouldn’t let me touch you; but today, you moved my bed away.”
At this point, Shen Qi paused and glanced at Ye Moxuan’s face hesitantly before slowly asking, “If we share a bed like this, what if I accidentally touched you?”
