At that moment, Han Xueyou’s guilt had completely dissipated; instead, she felt proud of her resourcefulness. She flashed a smile as she reminded Shen Qi, “Qi, your food is getting cold soon, so finish it quickly. I’ll accompany you while you work after eating, and we will get off work soon.”
Qi, don’t blame me for driving a wedge between you and Ye Moxuan because it is worth noting that you two do not belong with each other, and you will not be happy together.
In that case, it’s better for me to be his partner. If Ye Linhan is really nice to you and doesn’t mind your background, I think he will be more suitable for you.
“There’s no need for that. You’ve already done a lot by bringing me food. Just go home after you have finished eaten.”
Shen Qi smiled at her.
However, Han Xueyou insisted on staying.
In the end, Shen Qi couldn’t reject her offer and let her help. The two of them were busy until 10 o’clock in the evening.When Han Xueyou looked at the empty building, she suggested, “It should be enough working overtime until this hour, right? Let’s go back now. Plus, I have a car, so I can send you back.”
In the midst of her busyness, Shen Qi raised her head and glanced at the time. It was already 10 o’clock in the evening. Even if she wanted to continue working, she couldn’t ask Han Xueyou to accompany her since it was already this late, so she nodded and started to pack up her things.
It was already past 11 o’clock in the evening when Han Xueyou sent Shen Qi back to the Ye residence. Looking at the silent night sky, Han Xueyou suddenly said, “Qi, my brother told me that—”
Hearing this, Shen Qi’s movements suddenly stopped, and her fingers stiffened. She said, “Uh—”
“I’ll cut to the chase. That man is actually Ye Linhan!”
Before Shen Qi opened the car door, Han Xueyou shouted her sentence quite loudly. After that, a cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she tightened her grip on the steering wheel.
After she threw these words out, Shen Qi was completely stunned, and she was so shocked that she did not react for a long time.
Did I hear it wrongly?
The name that Han Xueyou said just now is Ye Linhan?
She turned to look at Han Xueyou with her lips quivering slightly. “Xueyou, why did you suddenly mention Ye Linhan’s name?”
Han Xueyou didn’t speak; instead, she looked at her firmly.
Shen Qi pursed her lips and restrained the panic in her eyes as she whispered, “It’s getting late. Go back and rest quickly.”
“Qi, that suit belongs to Ye Linhan.”
Just when Shen Qi raised her hand to open the car door, Han Xueyou’s words rang from behind again. At that moment, Shen Qi felt like her head was about to explode.
How could it be Ye Linhan?
Is God playing a fool on me?
“I know that this is shocking news to you, but the man really is Ye Linhan. At first, I was hesitant to tell you, but after thinking about it for the past two days and hearing what you said in the afternoon, I suddenly felt that it would be better for you to be with Ye Linhan. So, it is only then I mustered up the courage to tell you tonight.”
Shen Qi didn’t speak.
Han Xueyou didn’t stop and continued, “Of course, I know that this will take some time to accept—”
Shen Qi turned her head around swiftly and said in an anxious tone, “Who are you kidding? Ye Linhan can’t possibly be the man from that night!”
“Qi, there are many sides to a person. Of course he would act differently when facing different people and situations. Maybe he usually looks gentle, but in reality, he is—”
“Impossible!” Shen Qi interrupted her suddenly and shook her head.
Han Xueyou sighed. “Anyway, I have already told you the answer. There is still some time, so take your time to digest this information tonight.”
Shen Qi stared at her blankly for a moment. After wishing her to have a safe drive home, she got out of the car and left.
It was the first time for Shen Qi to come home so late after marrying into the Ye family for so long. It was very quiet in the Ye residence, with only a few maids who stood guard throughout the night. They were a little surprised when they saw her returning at this hour, but they still greeted her quickly.
Shen Qi was still in a daze due to what had just happened, so she merely nodded at them vaguely and went upstairs.
When she walked to the room, Shen Qi thought, Ye Moxuan is probably asleep.
She opened the door cautiously and tiptoed in, only to find that the lights inside were turned on, and Ye Moxuan was reading in his wheelchair.
Hearing her return, his brows seemed to furrow slightly.
Shen Qi was surprised to find that he hadn’t slept yet. It was almost midnight now. Wasn’t his circadian rhythm quite on time?
Shen Qi didn’t speak to him and took her clothes into the bathroom.
When she was in the bathroom, Shen Qi kept thinking about what Han Xueyou had just said.
Could the information be wrong? On that dark rainy night, the man’s face could not be seen clearly, but she could feel that his aura was domineering, aggressive, and wild.
On the other hand, Ye Linhan had a calm and gentle personality.
She couldn’t link those two people together no matter what.
But Xueyou told her that Ye Linhan was the owner of that button of the suit. Not only could Shen Qi not believe it, but she also couldn’t accept it.
Ye Linhan is Ye Moxuan’s eldest brother after all!
The more she thought about it, the more Shen Qi’s head hurt, and she felt a little dizzy as well. She quickly turned off the shower, dried her body, and put on her clothes.
When she walked out of the bathroom barefooted, Ye Moxuan still had his nose in his book.
Is that book really that interesting that he is willing to mess up his sleep schedule? Shen Qi murmured silently in her mind.
However, Ye Moxuan seemed to have heard her monologue because he suddenly closed the book and ordered coldly, “Come here.”
His cold order hit Shen Qi like a ton of bricks. After experiencing what happened this morning, she was fearful of Ye Moxuan now and wanted to stay away from him.
Now that he asked her to come over there, Shen Qi was so nervous that she pinched the hem of her clothes nervously and held her breath.
Ye Moxuan frowned in a dissatisfied manner and slammed the book on the table. “Do you have any problems?”
Shen Qi replied, “It’s quite late, so why don’t you rest early? I won’t come over there!”
With that, Shen Qi was about to turn around to leave.
“Miss Second-marriage, do you believe that I will ask someone to throw your blanket out tomorrow if you don’t come over here?”
These words had stopped Shen Qi in her tracks as she looked back at Ye Moxuan.
After a long while, Shen Qi walked toward him and said coldly, “What’s your order?”
“Take off your clothes.”
With that, Shen Qi raised her head as if she had heard something shocking and looked at him incredulously.
Ye Moxuan’s handsome face was cold and full of hostility at this moment, and his sharp eyes carried an irresistible power. Shen Qi couldn’t help but bite her lower lip as she remained silent.
Ye Moxuan sneered and suddenly grabbed her wrist as he pulled her toward him.
“Let go of me!” Shen Qi immediately flailed around like a fish out of water, but her neck was pinched by Ye Moxuan, and his cold voice sounded like the devil’s.
“I’ve told you this—I will check your body every day!”
