Are you confident?
Song An held her hand. “It might be hard being with him because of his personality, but I believe that he has feelings for you. It’s just that you two need more time to get accustomed to one another.”
“I’m telling you this because I hope you are mentally prepared.”
We need more time to get accustomed to each other? Ye Moxuan and I are getting a divorce as soon as the time is up. How much time do we have left to get accustomed to each other? Shen Qi suddenly thought of those pink earrings. If he genuinely bought it for me… If he has feelings for me…
“Well, just remember what I told you. Anyway, have more soup.”
Therefore, Shen Qi drank another bowl of soup after Song An urged her. She then helped Song An clean up after she was done. Around ten minutes later, Song An’s phone rang, and she looked at Shen Qi teasingly as she saw the number. She then picked up the phone.
“It’s about time! So you finally remember that your wife is still with me? Yes, we had dinner. When are you coming? Fine, come up later yourself.” With that, Song An hung up and looked over at Shen Qi. “See, isn’t it obvious he cares about you? So, if you like Moxuan, never ever give up on him, okay?”
She had been giving her clues explicitly and implicitly for several times today. It was impossible for Shen Qi not to understand, so she nodded. “I understand, Aunty. Don’t worry. I’ll work hard if there’s a chance.”
“Great!” Song An was relieved and smiled at Shen Qi. They then waited for a while before the doorbell rang. Song An pointed at the door and said, “Go get the door. He’s here to get you.”
All of a sudden, Shen Qi felt a little nervous. Now that she realized that he bought her that pair of earrings and possibly had feelings for her, Shen Qi’s heart raced when she thought of seeing him.
“Go ahead and take the suit with you. You can forget what happened today until he gives you the earrings himself, understand?” Song An suggested as she saw Shen Qi twitching in her seat nervously.
Shen Qi saw Song An as a really kind elder. She got up, thanked her, and went to open the door with the suit in her hands.
She took a deep breath and opened the door. As expected, it was Ye Moxuan at the door, and he was looking at her calmly while Xiao Su was standing behind him.
Shen Qi met Ye Moxuan’s cold gaze and realized that he was looking at her. She then looked down and found herself holding his suit. As if she remembered something, she quickly returned the suit to him. “Here.”
Ye Moxuan’s thin lips pressed together as his eyes fell back onto her face. His voice was cold as he said, “Put it on. It’s cold at night.”
Shen Qi thought about it before putting the suit back into Ye Moxuan’s arms in the end. “Let’s go back first. It’s getting late.” With that, she started to walk forward, but before she could walk far, Ye Moxuan grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
“Where are you running off to? Didn’t I tell you to put it on?” Frowning in disapproval, he raised his arms and pulled her into his arms, thereafter he put the suit on her. They were so close that he could see the wound on her neck, and his eyes darkened as he pulled the suit tighter. Accidentally touching her skin, he asked, “Does it still hurt?”
His fingers brushed across her skin gently like a feather, and Shen Qi couldn’t help but shudder a little. “N-No, it’s much better now,” her voice was quavering as she spoke.
Noticing that her voice was shaking, Ye Moxuan frowned. “Why is your voice shaking?”
Shen Qi avoided his eyes and coughed lightly. “Probably because of the cold? Let’s go.”
Ye Moxuan could see that she was avoiding him, but he couldn’t figure out the reason why. As such, he pouted and replied, “Okay.”
Shen Qi then got up and took the initiative to push him to the elevator. Xiao Su closed the door for Song An, and they all left the latter’s apartment.
Shen Qi found herself a seat after they got into the car. It was a seat where Ye Moxuan couldn’t see her. The car drove steadily on the road, and Shen Qi heard Ye Moxuan’s husky voice asking her a question a few minutes later, “Aren’t you going to ask where I’ve been?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi came to her senses and realized that it was extremely quiet in the car. She then recalled the question Ye Moxuan had asked and answered naturally, “Weren’t you dealing with Shi Qinbao’s incident?”
Startled, Ye Moxuan looked at her with his eyes squinted. “You…”
“Didn’t you go?” Shen Qi looked at Ye Moxuan curiously.
Her eyes were naturally cold, and when he met her gaze, Ye Moxuan had mixed feelings as he thought of the person he had gone to meet. “What if I say I didn’t?”
“Where have you been then?” Shen Qi asked.
Forget it! Ye Moxuan thought he shouldn’t tell her before the investigation was over.
Shen Qi couldn’t do anything as he went quiet all of a sudden; she couldn’t figure out what else Ye Moxuan could’ve been doing other than that.
“I’m busy too, and I’m not just busy with your matters.”
“I get it.” She looked down, but she wasn’t upset at all because she saw the earrings and remembered what Song An had said to her. Those words made her excited and happy. Hence, she just acted as if she didn’t hear Ye Moxuan’s words.
Hmph, what a meanie. Why did you buy me earrings then? At the thought of that, Shen Qi’s pink lips couldn’t help but curve upward as her eyes twinkled a little as well.
Ye Moxuan could see that she lowered her head, but her hair covered her face, so he couldn’t see her face. For some reason, he felt a little annoyed.
Suddenly, Shen Qi looked up. “Oh, right! I keep forgetting to ask you this—how is Shi Qinbao? Is she and her child safe?”
Xiao Su, who was driving in front, heard it and immediately answered, “Don’t worry, Second Young Lady. They are both fine. They survived and both are hospitalized because their bodies are still weak.”
Shen Qi was relieved to hear that they were all right.
Not only was she afraid of causing trouble to others, but she was also sympathetic to Shi Baoqin who was a poor woman, and she didn’t want her and her child to die. It would be such a pity if that happened.
“Second Young Lady, to be honest, people like her deserved it. We’ve checked the company’s security footage, and she deliberately sought trouble. If something really did happen, it wouldn’t affect you, so you don’t have to be worried.”
Hearing that, Shen Qi didn’t respond. Ye Moxuan looked at her and asked, “Are you worried about her, or are you sympathizing with her?”
