“Ye Moxuan must’ve sent you to punish me.” Shen Qi touched her bruises. It was hurting a little.
Now that we are both in the elevator, will I have the opportunity to escape?
“Second Young Lady, If you continue talking to me like that when we get downstairs, the staff will make fun of you. By then… I won’t be able to control what others say.”
Is this a threat? Shen Qi looked at him, but Xiao Su quickly looked away before she turned her head, acting as if nothing happened.
The elevator went down slowly and soon reached the ground floor. When the door opened, Xiao Su stood behind her. “Let’s go, Second Young Lady.”
Shen Qi didn’t have a choice but to follow him out as she didn’t want to make herself a joke.
“Young Master Ye shouldn’t be too far away. We’ll just look around nearby.”
Shen Qi paused for a moment when she heard that. “Can we find him just by looking around?”
“Of course.” Xiao Su looked confident. In fact, when they met, Xiao Su asked him, and he managed to get some information on where Ye Moxuan was going.
If it wasn’t that Ye Moxuan gave him some clues, he probably wouldn’t be able to find him just by looking around.
After all, there were so many stores, and no one would know where he would go.
“But.. Xueyou invited me just now and asked if I could go, but I rejected her. If we go look for them now, won’t it be—” Thinking so, Shen Qi hesitated.
Without giving her a chance to think, Xiao Su simply replied, “Does it matter? Just say that you’re hungry now. Second Young Lady, you really are bad at this. You should really watch out for Young Master Ye being taken away by some other women.”
To be honest, she had never thought about this. Shen Qi was a little depressed. If Xiao Su hadn’t dragged her along, she wouldn’t have gone.
But now… she realized it was what she wanted to do.
Forget it. I’ll just go.
“Second Young Lady, your pride is not that important. Besides, wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing if one day Young Master Ye was really taken away by your very own best friend?”
His words were so true that she couldn’t disagree.
No. Shen Qi snapped back. “What are you talking about? We just came to have a meal with him, and you look like you’re here to catch him cheating.”
Xiao Su rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly.
Well, the most important thing is that Second Young Lady is willing to come with me.
Shen Qi kept following Xiao Su and didn’t know how long they’d been walking. She felt that Xiao Su was just bringing her around on winding paths, and they soon arrived at a restaurant.
“Second Young Lady, this is it.”
Shen Qi took a look at him and followed his sight. She saw Ye Moxuan and Han Xueyou sitting together by the window. They weren’t sitting face to face. Instead, they were sitting next to each other.
Han Xueyou was holding the menu as she was speaking to Ye Moxuan, and her collars were falling, revealing some of her skin. She didn’t reveal much, as the collar was just slightly falling. One could say that she did it on purpose, but she seemed to be oblivious to it; nevertheless, Shen Qi couldn’t be sure it was completely unintentional.
“Wow, did you see that, Second Young Lady? This is what you saw with your own eyes. You saw how Han Xueyou deliberately got so close to Young Master Ye, and also… showing her shoulder. She clearly has an agenda. Do you still trust her?”
Shen Qi stared at the two of them inside and remained silent.
Xiao Su paused before he asked, “Second Young Lady, shall we go in?”
“No!” Seeing Xiao Su getting up to walk in, Shen Qi quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes and stopped him from moving.
She stared at the two people inside and seemed to be thinking about something.
All of a sudden, Ye Moxuan glanced over toward their direction as if feeling something. Shen Qi saw his gaze and was so frightened that she pulled Xiao Su down with her. They hid in the corner and managed to avoid Ye Moxuan’s sight.
“Young Master Ye, what shall we have today?” Han Xueyou deliberately leaned forward as she showed Ye Moxuan the menu and slowly approached him. She had an elegant perfume on and had applied a red lipstick that looked seductive. It made her look pure and perfect.
Han Xueyou was confident in herself; if Ye Moxuan didn’t love Shen Qi, she should be able to get his admiration if she tried.
After all, with her appearance, she believed that Ye Moxuan would be tempted.
Han Xueyou was still speaking when she realized that Ye Moxuan’s dark pupils were staring outside. She froze and looked out toward the direction he was looking at. “Young Master Ye, what’s wrong? Is there anything out there?”
With that, she stood up.
“Nothing.” Ye Moxuan looked back, and his dark pupils were filled with coldness. His thin lips were also pursed into a straight line.
Han Xueyou wasn’t discouraged. She curved her lips and smiled gently. “Young Master Ye, what would you like to have?”
“Anything. You choose.” Ye Moxuan lifted his eyes, and his sharp gaze scanned her, frightening Han Xueyou. It felt like a knife was thrown at her, but she soon gave it a thought and got over it.
For a cold man like Ye Moxuan, he was definitely as cold as an ice block that would be difficult to melt. But once he melted and she got his heart, he would be as passionate as fire.
I must never let Ye Moxuan slip between my fingers.
I must most definitely get him!
Han Xueyou smiled sweetly and tried hard to make her voice gentler and softer. “Great. I will make the decision, then.”
She then called the waiter and ordered some dishes.
Ye Moxuan frowned when he heard her order. He looked at Han Xueyou suspiciously after the waiter left.
“You know what I like to eat?
Hearing his question, Han Xueyou lowered her eyes shyly and answered softly, “I found out by accident. You don’t mind, do you?”
“Oh?” Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows and put on a sarcastic smile, “Found out by accident?”
“Enough.” Han Xueyou blushed, looking like a little girl who was embarrassed. “Actually, it’s because our company works with Ye Group, and Secretary Su prepared a document about you. When I saw it, I took a look and remembered.”
Shen Qi, who was crouching outside, saw all of their movements and overheard all their conversations. Yet she just crouched there and watched quietly.
Xiao Su could not help but retch. “Damn, Second Young Lady, your best friend is really disgusting. What on earth is she thinking? Look at her expression right now; are you still defending her?”
After complaining, Xiao Su realized that Shen Qi was too quiet.
He then turned his head to look at Shen Qi, only to find her looking at them calmly with cold eyes, void of facial expressions.
“Second Young Lady?”
“Xiao Su… let’s go back.”
