The movement of Ye Moxuan together with his wheelchair stopped and he looked up coldly at Shen Qi’s face which was blessed with fair complexion.
Derisively, he stared at Shen Qi and spoke in a tone brimming with contempt, “I did it on purpose? Miss Second-marriage, I think you’re thinking too highly of yourself.”
With her face turning pale, Shen Qi bit her lower lip and challenged, “You know clearly whether what I said was true or not.”
Looking indifferent, Ye Moxuan snapped, “Scram.”
Shen Qi was speechless.
Suppressing her anger, Shen Qi did not back away but instead turned around and left him behind.
Before he reached the elevator, she quickly closed the door. Out of anger, she wanted him to suffer a round of waiting downstairs.
What a jerk!
When she reached the bedroom, she immediately took a shower after which she quickly snuggled under the covers.
Soon after she lied down, she received a message from Yan asking her whether she had slept and whether she had already found herself a dress for tomorrow. She has also told her that she would be visiting her tomorrow so that they could do their makeup together before going to the venue.
Shen Qi thought of Han Xueyou’s question so she asked Yan.
After knowing that she was allowed to bring her family along, Shen Qi’s mood lifted a great deal.
Following that, Shen Qi invited Yan to do makeup together with Han Xueyou tomorrow before heading to the venue of the celebration.
Just as Shen Qi was getting ready to sleep after she reached a consensus with Yan, she received a new message coming from someone on her friends list. It was someone having a profile picture which looked unfamiliar to her.
She pressed on the message.
“Have you prepared your dress for the event tomorrow?”
Shen Qi found the message rather creepy as she didn’t think she knew such a person. Hence, she intended to ignore the person. Just as she was about to exit the application, she suddenly thought of Han Qing and remembered that she had added herself using his account not long ago.
When she clicked into the person’s profile, she found nothing on his news feed and the description on his profile was written in English.
After some hesitation, Shen Qi replied to the person’s message. ‘President Han?’
She did not get a message back after a long time but she finally received one later on.
‘I’ve asked Su Jiu to prepare a dress for you. I’ll have her send it to you tomorrow.’
Shen Qi was lost for words.
Did Han Qing say he had asked Su Jiu to send a dress to her? Did she see the message wrongly?
‘Are you really President Han?’
The person did not reply to her and remained the same even after two more messages from her. At last, she gave up trying.
Before Ye Moxuan went into the bathroom, he already saw her clutching her phone tightly; after he walked out of it, he saw the same thing and what was more, she was paying full attention to the screen of her phone. A trace of iciness suddenly spread at a rapid rate in his sharp and emotionless eyes.
Shen Qi, who was staring at the screen of her phone, suddenly felt a drop in her surrounding temperature.
She glanced in the direction where the cold air was flowing from and found Ye Moxuan staring at her icily. At the thought of the chat she just had with Han Qing, she suddenly felt guilty under Ye Moxuan’s gaze.
Shen Qi averted her gaze and locked the screen of her phone before pulling up the blanket, turned to the other side with her back facing Ye Moxuan and closed her eyes.
He had pulled a long face at her just because she was chatting with someone—how dictatorial was that?
This man indeed had too bad a temper.
With her phone in her hands, Shen Qi quickly fell asleep.
On the next day, Han Xueyou arrived at her house while she was still fast asleep. Ye Moxuan let her into the bedroom and she got her out of bed.
“Why are you still sleeping at this hour?”
At the sight of Han Xueyou, Shen Qi thought she was having hallucinations. “Xueyou, why are you here?”
“To wake you up, of course!” Han Xueyou extended one of her fingers and prodded her forehead. “You’re sleeping like a log!”
Shen Qi gave her surroundings a scan and found that she was sleeping on the floor in her own bedroom.
“How did you…”
“I came here earlier as I’m rather free today. Mr. Ye let me in and Young Master Ye also has agreed to it.”
Did Ye Moxuan agree to let her in? Shen Qi started searching for him in the bedroom.
“Stop looking around. He’s not in here.”
Shen Qi let out a sigh of relief when she heard her. Just as she sat upright and was about to get changed, Han Xueyou stealthily got closer to her and asked, “Don’t you and Ye Moxuan sleep together?”
Shen Qi’s movement paused for a short while before she shook her head.
“I had no idea that the relationship between you two was this bad.” Han Xueyou sounded sympathetic but her tone was breezy.
“Yes, it is. We’re husband and wife in name but not in substance, so it goes without saying that our relationship is bad.”
Shen Qi continued with self-mockery in her tone, “I should be grateful for him as he has offered me a place to sleep.”
In the very beginning of their marriage, she could only sit outside of the bedroom.
At first, Han Xueyou was delighted to find that they were having a rocky relationship. After all, the worse the relationship between Shen Qi and Ye Moxuan was, the better it was for her as she would not have to take any action to split them up. Yet, at the sight of Shen Qi being in a gloomy mood as she mocked herself, she started to feel bad again.
At such thought, Han Xueyou’s lips twitched; she suddenly thought herself evil.
“Qi, since you’re having such a miserable life here, why don’t you…”
Shen Qi took her clothes and rose. “Please wait for me while I get changed. I’ll have breakfast with you later.”
Shen Qi straightaway went into the bathroom. After the door of the bathroom was tightly shut, Han Xueyou got to her feet and roamed around. At last, her curiosity got the better of her as she opened the wardrobe. At the sight of Ye Moxuan’s suits hanging inside, she stood rooted to the spot.
These were all Ye Moxuan’s belongings…
Those suits were all worn by Ye Moxuan before so Han Xueyou could not help but extend her hand to have a feel of all those suits and shirts. Her fingers brushed along them one by one and at last, her hands stopped on a piece of suit.
She found the buttons on the suit somewhat familiar.
The next second, a thought hit her suddenly as she widened her eyes and gaped unflinchingly at the suit in her hand. Wasn’t that golden button the one Shen Qi had given her back then?
It never occurred to her that the suit would still be kept despite having one of its buttons lost.
If Shen Qi sees this…
She can’t!
Han Xueyou turned as pale as a sheet at once. When some noise was heard coming from the bathroom, she immediately removed the suit from its hanger, folded it and stuffed it into the lowest compartment.
Just as Han Xueyou closed the wardrobe, Shen Qi happened to walk out of the bathroom at the same time. “Xueyou, why are you standing there?”
Han Xueyou drew in a deep breath before she turned around to face Shen Qi. “I find the clothes you just took from the wardrobe rather nice and hence, I decided to check out your wardrobe. It surprises me that you guys are sharing the same wardrobe. What’s more, I can see that all your clothes are very expensive. Did Ye Moxuan buy them all for you?”
At the mention of those clothes, Shen Qi was caught in a daze for a while before she nodded.
“Yes, he thought I dressed way too hideously before this.”
“I see. In fact, he treats you quite well but it’s really very bad of him to let you sleep on the ground; it’s not gentlemanly behavior at all.”
Gentleman? In Ye Moxuan’s mind, it is likely that he has zero idea about this concept.
At that thought, Shen Qi let out a sneer before turning around. “Let’s head downstairs and have breakfast.”
“G-Great.” Han Xueyou cast one last look at the wardrobe as her mind was still occupied by that suit. What should she do in order to bring that suit away with her? Or maybe remove the buttons from it?
“Qi, I have a stomach ache all of a sudden. Please wait for me downstairs while I use the toilet.”
