With that, Shen Qi rushed outside immediately.
“If you don’t care about their lives, just go ahead.” Ye Moxuan’s voice suddenly rang behind her, making Shen Qi stop in her tracks. When she turned around, she saw Ye Moxuan sitting in his wheelchair not far away.
His gaze fell on her from a distance coldly.
It was ruthless and indifferent.
“Why?” Shen Qi asked while looking into his eyes weakly. “I don’t want to stay here anymore. Can’t I go out?”
Ye Moxuan’s thin lips were pursed tightly, and the indifferent aura on his body almost enveloped the surroundings. Feeling the pressure, Zhu Yun was afraid to look into Ye Moxuan’s eyes.
“No.”
“Hah…” Shen Qi chuckled quietly, and she finally walked toward Ye Moxuan slowly. The maids and guards at the gate watched this scene unfold in front of them while holding their breaths.
They did not expect that Young Master Ye, whom they were afraid of, would be rejected by a woman this way.
“Do you have to force me like this?” Shen Qi tilted her head downward to look at Ye Moxuan and asked.
Ye Moxuan raised his eyes slightly and ordered in a cold voice, “Zhu Yun, take her back to her room.”
Zhu Yun was terribly scared, and she quickly nodded as she took Shen Qi’s hand. “Young Lady, let’s go. I will take you back to your room.”
“I’m not going.” Shen Qi stood rooted to the ground, unwilling to budge. Zhu Yun’s expression changed in fear, and she lowered her voice. “Young Lady, let’s go quickly. Otherwise, Young Master Ye will be angry later.”
“So what if he’s angry? It has nothing to do with me!” Shen Qi looked at Ye Moxuan coldly and withdrew her hand from Zhu Yun before she slowly walked to Ye Moxuan. “Ye Moxuan, don’t you know that it’s illegal to imprison another person?”
Ye Moxuan looked very calm. One couldn’t even decipher his mood from his tone.
“Imprison? You are my wife. The world outside is sinister, so how am I breaking the law by forbidding you to go out?”
“Zhu Yun!” Ye Moxuan bellowed, and Zhu Yun quickly stepped forward to hold Shen Qi’s hands again. “Let’s go, Young Lady. I’ll help you in. Let’s go quickly.”
After that, Zhu Yun took Shen Qi away forcefully. Luckily, she was quite strong, and Shen Qi was relatively weak.
After they left, Ye Moxuan glanced at the security guards.
“Don’t worry, Young Master Ye. We will guard every corner. We’ll definitely carry out your orders.”
“Good.” Ye Moxuan nodded with satisfaction before leaving.
After Ye Moxuan left, they breathed a sigh of relief.
“I was so scared just now! I thought I was really going to lose my life this time. Who is that woman who suddenly appeared and took charge of our lives?”
“Did you not hear that just now? She’s the Young Lady—she’s Young Master Ye’s woman.”
“But I thought there was never a woman around him. Why did one pop up suddenly?”
“I’m not sure about that. Let’s not pry too much into his affairs. Let’s just do what he told us to.”
Upon saying that, they fell silent.
Shen Qi was taken back to the room by Zhu Yun. After sitting down, Shen Qi’s body fell backward weakly on the soft blanket. Seeing that she didn’t look good, Zhu Yun could only coax her softly, “Don’t worry, Young Lady. Young Master Ye is just angry. After a while, you might be able to go out.”
“Go out? Do I still have a chance to go out?” Shen Qi sneered. “He just wants to imprison me here. Zhu Yun—your name is Zhu Yun, right? Call the police for me. I want to make a police report.”
She wanted to go out. It was impossible for her to stay at this place.
She must try every means to escape.
Hearing that Shen Qi wanted to call the police, Zhu Yun was immediately frightened, and it took her some time before she came back to her senses. “Young Lady, you are Young Master Ye’s wife, so calling the police will not work. You can’t just simply call the police.”
“If I can’t call the police, how would I leave here?” Shen Qi shook her head. “I must call the police. I have to get out. I can’t stay here.”
She would rather be homeless on the streets than to be a bird that was locked up in his cage!
Moreover, she was not the only one.
When she thought of the fact that Han Xueyou and Ye Moxuan were having an affair, Shen Qi felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if someone was stabbing her. She couldn’t bear all this anymore.
“Young Lady, it’s useless to call the police. Young Master Ye is also doing this for your own good. Besides, he treats you so well—he doesn’t even hit you. Even if the police came, they wouldn’t care about this kind of thing. They would just think that it’s a couple’s quarrel, that’s all!”
Zhu Yun’s words jolted Shen Qi to her senses, leaving her stunned. Thinking about it, it’s true that Ye Moxuan doesn’t treat me badly; on the contrary, he treats me very well. He bought a lot of things for me, and he has never laid a finger on me despite making snide remarks.
He didn’t even hit me, let alone abuse me.
Hence, there was no point even if the police came.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi’s smile looked bleak and desperate. “So, am I going to be imprisoned here forever by him?”
“Actually…” Zhu Yun paused before she explained softly. “Although I don’t know why you want to leave here, nor do I know what happened between you and Young Master Ye, I would like to tell you this villa is a place that is very important to Young Master Ye. Every year, he will only come here three times—during his mother’s birthday, her death anniversary, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Hearing that, Shen Qi was startled. “What did you say?”
“Young Lady, do you understand what I said? This is a private place that Young Master Ye cherishes very much. Every year, he comes here only for a few days during those three occasions. Although his mother has passed away, I know that he still misses her very much. Except for Young Master Ye, no other woman has ever set foot here.”
No other woman has ever set foot here? Shen Qi suddenly thought of Han Xueyou. Could it be that… she hasn’t been here either?
“No woman has been here before?”
Zhu Yun shook her head. “Apart from us maids, you are the first, Young Lady.”
“This is the first time he has brought a woman back to this place—the most vulnerable place to him. You must be a very important person to him. Otherwise, you would never show up here.”
Shen Qi was stunned to hear that. She originally thought this was just an ordinary villa with a beautiful scenery, a place for rich people to flaunt their wealth. But she didn’t expect that there were so many hidden reasons behind it.
He only comes to this enormous mansion three times a year?
And it’s during his mother’s birthday and death anniversary, and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival…
Right, Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for reunion.
Unexpectedly, there were so many backstories behind this.
“So don’t be angry anymore, Young Lady. I’ll bring you lunch, okay?”
Shen Qi didn’t speak and just sat there blankly.
She was thinking about the reason Ye Moxuan brought her here.
If Zhu Yun was telling the truth, then this was Ye Moxuan’s secret base, and it was equivalent to him showing her his most vulnerable side.
