Shen Qi didn’t expect Ye Moxuan to see through her thoughts. Shen Qi looked up and met his gaze. She then explained in a soft voice, “Both. I’m worried because we are both mothers, and I sympathize with her for encountering an indecent guy.”
‘Encountering an indecent guy’.
Those words were piercing when they reached Ye Moxuan’s ears, and his eyes darkened as he looked at Shen Qi.
“So, you’ve finally realized that you met an indecent guy?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi clenched her fists that were resting on her lap, and she went quiet.
“If you were given the choice again, would you still choose to keep the child?”
Ye Moxuan’s question was too sudden, and Shen Qi raised her head instantly, looking into his dark and deep eyes. “I…”
Of course I would keep the child.
The child is innocent, and the child isn’t even Lin Jiang’s.
But it’s a stranger’s.
At the beginning, she did not expect herself to get pregnant. She had been living with her mind all muddled up during that time, not because she was upset by the divorce with Lin Jiang, but because there was no one on her side when she went back home. The forced marriage suffocated her, and she suffered even more.
She found out that she was pregnant when she was married into the Ye family and got caught by Ye Moxuan’s men when she went for a checkup. It all happened so suddenly, and Shen Qi didn’t expect it at all.
“What’s the matter? Is this a difficult question?” Ye Moxuan asked unhappily.
Shen Qi pulled herself back and shook her head. “No, I can tell you right now. If I was given another chance, even if you would throw me out of the Ye residence, I would still keep it.”
With that, Shen Qi covered her belly with her hands. “There’s a life in here. I’m not that cruel, and I have always wanted a child too.”
Shen Qi looked down suddenly, and her eyes were filled with warmth. “I’ll have another family member then.”
Looking at the gentle look on her face, another woman’s face appeared before him. Although he never saw it with his own eyes, he could imagine how that woman would touch her own belly and was determined to give birth to him.
Mother, was this how you felt at that moment as well?
“Is it really worth it for a scumbag?” Ye Moxuan’s voice deepened subconsciously. Shen Qi realized the difference in his voice and looked at him, but she found that Ye Moxuan had a distant look in his eye as if he was caught in his memories.
Shen Qi suddenly remembered her conversation with Song An just now.
Did my behavior remind him of his mother?
“Of course it is.” Shen Qi’s eyes turned gentle as she subconsciously reached out her hands and placed them on Ye Moxuan’s palms. “As long as the heart is determined, everything is worth it.” Her voice was calming.
Her soft, little hands were cold and pulled Ye Moxuan back from his thoughts when they landed on his hands. He saw her cold but gentle eyes that were filled with stars and illuminated by the dim moonlight—they were especially attractive.
Ye Moxuan slightly squinted his eyes, and his gaze slowly landed on her hands.
Shen Qi realized what she had done and tried to pull her hands back anxiously. However, Ye Moxuan quickly grabbed her cold fingers and forced her to hold hands with him with their fingers intertwined.
Our fingers are intertwined.
Shen Qi’s eyes widened in shock, and her beautiful eyes glimmered under the light. Ye Moxuan suddenly had an idea—he wanted to kiss her.
He did not suppress his urge. His tall figure leaned forward, and his handsome face approached hers.
When Ye Moxuan’s warm breath fell on her face, Shen Qi’s body jolted, and she leaned back a little. She looked at him as she blinked nervously.
Ye Moxuan frowned as he didn’t manage to kiss her. “Why are you dodging?”
“I…” Shen Qi’s face felt feverish, and she didn’t know how to answer his question. Then, Ye Moxuan’s other arm reached for the back of her head, pulling her in.
Before Shen Qi could react, Ye Moxuan had already tilted his head and kissed her.
“Mm.”
This time, Shen Qi couldn’t avoid him even if she wanted to. Ye Moxuan grabbed the back of her head with his fingers spread out, holding her in place while his other hand held her hand. Shen Qi couldn’t struggle at all and let him kiss her on her soft lips. He then sucked between her lips.
Xiao Su, who was driving, noticed the situation in the back seat as well, but he looked as if he was already used to it. Ye Moxuan never cared about his surroundings whenever he wanted to do something, and at a time like this, he only needed to be invisible.
…
When they arrived at the Ye residence, Shen Qi pushed Ye Moxuan out of the car with her face blushing. Her fair cheeks were flushed, and her lips were red and swollen. Her usual cold eyes looked glazed, and it was obvious that she was bullied.
As for Ye Moxuan who was pushed out of the car, his handsome face looked pleased. His lips were curving upward, and his dark eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Ye Linhan, who had just come out, saw it by coincidence, and he stood rooted to the ground at that instant. His gentle and polite expression broke, and his eyes darkened as he watched them walk in. He glared at them for a while before he left.
Shen Qi quickly took off the suit and gave it back to him when they returned to their room. She then grabbed her own clothes and was about to go to the bathroom.
Ye Moxuan stared at her back. “Did you forget what Aunty said? Your wounds can’t get wet for these two days.”
Shen Qi’s steps froze as she heard that. Song An did warn me about it, but how am I going to sleep without showering?
“Bear with it” Ye Moxuan said as if he saw through her thoughts.
Shen Qi’s face went sullen. I can bear with it for a day, but how can I endure it for two to three days?
I have no idea my injuries would be so serious that I can’t even touch the water.
“Come and put on some ointment later,” Ye moxuan continued.
“‘P-Put on some ointment’?”
“What? Didn’t you know? Twice a day.” Ye Moxuan took the ointment that Song An had given him out of his pocket and held it in his hand.
Shen Qi’s entire body was covered with injuries. If the ointment needs to be applied on my wounds, doesn’t that mean I have to take off my clothes in front of him?
The thought of taking off her clothes before him made her blush. She walked over and was about to take the ointment from him. “I’ll do it myself.”
However, Ye Moxuan closed his palms and glanced at her. “Can you reach your back?”
Shen Qi couldn’t say a word.
She didn’t have a choice but to keep her mouth shut and let him apply it for her.
“Take your clothes off,” Ye Moxuan ordered.
“Why don’t you get a servant to apply the ointment for me?” Shen Qi asked.
She was still struggling because she couldn’t take her clothes off in front of Ye Moxuan.
Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows and sneered, “Are you disgusted by the thought of me applying the ointment for you?”
Shen Qi bit her lower lip and looked troubled. I’m not disgusted. I’m just embarrassed.
“Quick,” Ye Moxuan urged jokingly when he saw how her facial features contorted. His playfulness took hold of him, and he felt like teasing her.
