To Ye Moxuan, he just came to pick up his woman.
She had gone out too late, so he came out to pick her up in person.
But for Shen Qi, she felt as if she had been through an apocalypse. When Shen Qi looked at him after the elevator door opened slowly, she felt as if a thousand years had passed.
She was almost separated from him again.
When he saw her wearing quite thin clothes, Ye Moxuan frowned, looking a little unhappy.
“Young Master Ye, I was just about to send Qi down, yet you are already here.”
With that, Yan even exchanged glances with Xiao Su.
Seeing Yan, Xiao Su’s indifferent face flushed red suddenly, and he did not dare to meet her eyes.
“Since Young Master Ye is already here to pick you up, you should hurry back with him,” Yan urged while pushing Shen Qi forward gently. “You don’t need to stay back so late next time. I can come over to find you tomorrow, and then we can go shopping.”
Shen Qi turned around and glanced at her gratefully. “Alright, then I will go back first.”
Yan waved to her. “Go ahead. Young Master Ye, have a safe trip back. I’ll go back first.”
After Shen Qi went into the elevator, her hand was held by Ye Moxuan immediately after walking for a few steps. Compared to him, her hand was cold; Ye Moxuan’s palm had a scorching temperature.
“Your hands are so cold. Don’t you know what the weather is right now?” he frowned and rebuked her gently before taking off his suit and handing it to her. “Put it on so that you don’t catch a cold.”
“Okay.” Shen Qi took the suit and put it on. It suddenly occurred to her that in the past, when his suit was worn by her, he threw it away, saying that it was not clean.
But now… he often gave her his suit, and he would still continue to wear it the next day.
It was as if the cleanliness freak before this was another person.
After arriving downstairs, Shen Qi took the initiative to push Ye Moxuan’s wheelchair into the car. After the two of them sat down, they did not speak. Hence, silence fell on the car. Because of what happened earlier, Shen Qi still felt very upset about that.
Although Yan had already given her some advice, she still kept thinking about Han Xueyou’s words.
Before she could determine whether Han Xueyou was pregnant, Shen Qi would have difficulty being close to him again.
“Recently, something seems to be wrong with you,” Ye Moxuan suddenly commented when Shen Qi was still engrossed in her thoughts.
Hearing that, Shen Qi was startled, and she turned to give him a quick glance.
“I don’t think so.” She denied it directly. After all, she and Yan would find out about the truth tomorrow, so it was better not to start a fight today.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi took a deep breath and pursed her lips. “I-I’ve been a bit bored at Seabay Villa recently, so I went to Yan’s to chat with her. Is there a problem?”
Is there a problem?
Ye Moxuan stared at her fiercely like a hawk. It seemed that there was no problem, but at the same time, something seemed to be wrong.
As for what the problem was, Ye Moxuan couldn’t figure it out.
But how Shen Qi had been behaving these past two days worried Ye Moxuan. He pursed his lips and did not speak any more.
Shen Qi also turned away from him. The two of them returned to the villa in absolute silence, probably because they had a little dispute just now. When Shen Qi got out of the car, she didn’t push him. Instead, she waited for him to get out of the car before following behind him.
After reaching the room, Shen Qi put down her bag. “I’m going to take a shower.”
With that, she walked directly to the wardrobe. However, when she passed by Ye Moxuan, he suddenly grabbed her slender wrist.
“If something’s up, you must tell me. I don’t want there to be any secrets between us.”
Upon hearing that, Shen Qi froze in her tracks. She suddenly turned around to look at Ye Moxuan. “Even if I tell you everything, will there really be no secrets between us?”
He said he was dealing with it, but he still hadn’t given her any answers. He, too, didn’t tell her everything.
Even if she told him her thoughts, would there really be no secrets between them?
Sure enough, Ye Moxuan was stunned immediately after hearing her words, and his thick eyebrows furrowed into a frown. When he was about to speak, Shen Qi suddenly smiled. “I know. I was just joking. How would there be any secrets between us? I have told you everything that’s on my mind. Hence , you just have to focus on your job. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Although she had already said so, Ye Moxuan’s gaze was still fixated on her. His irises were as dark as night, almost drowning her smile.
At first, Shen Qi could still keep smiling, but gradually, when the smile on her lips was about to vanish, she heard Ye Moxuan speak.
“Do you actually mean what you said?”
After returning to her senses, Shen Qi pursed her red lips and nodded.
“Of course I do. Do you think I’m lying to you?”
Ye Moxuan stared at her silently.
Shen Qi was a little disappointed. She didn’t think that she was lying to him—she just thought she was going to look into the matter tomorrow, so there was nothing wrong in saying such words to placate him today.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi turned around and left.
“I trust you.”
His voice suddenly rang behind her again, making Shen Qi pause and look back at him with a conflicted expression.
For no apparent reason, Shen Qi always felt that both her and Ye Moxuan had never trusted each other, and there was a huge distance between them. Although Han Xueyou’s words were mostly unpleasant, she was right about one thing.
Shen Qi and Ye Moxuan were from different worlds.
They were just two parallel lines. Even though their paths intersected at this moment, in time, they would still drift apart and move on.
After staring at him for a while, Shen Qi said nothing and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
That night, Ye Moxuan didn’t hug her when they slept. She shrank into a corner under the blanket on her own, staying far away from the warmth behind her. He also didn’t cling to her shamelessly like he usually did.
…
The next day, after Shen Qi got up, she went to brush her teeth as usual. After washing her face and changing her clothes, she went directly to Yan.
“How are we going to investigate? Ask Han Xueyou directly?”
“Finding her is the most straightforward way, but I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for us to confront her directly. I suddenly feel that since she has really told you that, she would definitely be fully prepared. As the Young Lady of the Han family, it couldn’t be any easier to fake a pregnancy statement.”
Hearing that, Shen Qi frowned.
“Based on our abilities and for your sake, we can’t openly ask Young Master Ye for help. Besides, I don’t have any connections, so, Qi… I’m afraid that we will have to ask Vice President Ye for help.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qi froze. Ask Vice President Ye for help?
