This shameless question made Shen Qi speechless. She looked at him for a long time, but could not say anything back. When she recalled that he had brought her back last night, she felt a sense of gratitude and lowered her eyes.
“Anyway, thank you.”
It’s this lifeless look again.
Ye Moxuan’s emotions were all over the place. Can’t she lift her spirits when she is with me? Is that why she is giving me this attitude? With this in mind, an inexplicable anger rose in his chest. He sneered, “I’m just afraid that you would do something to disgrace the Ye Family. Otherwise, I wouldn’t care about you even if you died somewhere.”
His ruthless words were like a poisoned sword, and it deeply pierced into Shen Qi’s heart. Shen Qi’s lips parted, and she clenched her fist silently. Finally, she could only say, “Understood.” With that, she turned and walked toward the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, Ye Moxuan had already left for work. Shen Qi prepared to change her clothes and head out as well, but suddenly she couldn’t find her suitcase. Moreover, all the clothes she had put in the closet had disappeared.
Shen Qi’s expression changed. She turned and walked out from the room.
She spotted the maids who were pushing a few rows of clothes. When they saw her, they all stopped and greeted her, “Second Young Lady.”
Shen Qi was startled and looked at them suspiciously, “What are you guys doing?”
“Second Young Lady, Assistant Xiao told us to deliver it.”
Shen Qi was speechless. She suddenly recalled that Moxuan had bought her a lot of clothes last night. “Are these all for me?”
“Yes, Second Young Lady.”
With that, the maids pushed the rows of clothes into the room and put them into her closet one by one.
It seemed that Ye Moxuan still had some conscience. As his wardrobe was huge, the space his simple clothes occupied was actually very little, so the remaining space was left for Shen Qi. The maids put those expensive clothes into the wardrobe one by one and sorted them out, and then said to her, “Second Young Lady, we have sorted out all your things; we will excuse ourselves first if there’s nothing else.”
Shen Qi looked at the dazzling wardrobe for a moment, then at the maid who was about to leave. “Wait a minute.”
The maids stopped and looked back at her nervously. “S-S-Second Young Lady , what else can I do for you?”
“Where are the clothes I put in the closet before this? And my suitcase?”
After hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the maids changed. The senior maid explained in a low voice, “Second Young Lady, the suitcase was too old so we just threw it away. As for the clothes…”
Shen Qi’s expression changed drastically when she heard that. “Throw away? How could you just throw my things away?” she asked, exasperated.
The maids bowed their heads in unison, “I’m sorry, Second Young Lady. It was the Second Young Master’s order to throw them away, so…”
Hearing this, Shen Qi finally understood that it was Ye Moxuan who did all this. He bought me new clothes and even cleared all my old clothing just because he disdained my fashion taste! Forget it, it’s not their fault; they are just following Ye Moxuan’s orders.
“I am really sorry, Second Young Lady! Really…I’m sorry.”
“It’s ok; it’s not your fault. What about my suitcase?” There’s something important in there!
“It’s in the garbage disposal room. I’ll bring you there.”
“Okay.”
Shen Qi followed one of the maids to the garbage disposal room, where she immediately saw her suitcase which was thrown in the corner. She walked quickly to open it. The maid followed her and explained, “This suitcase has been left here and it hasn’t been opened. Second Young Lady, do you want to check if there is anything missing?”
Shen Qi checked it again and sighed, “Everything is here. Thank you!”
“You’re welcome, Second Young Lady, but…do you want to bring it back with you?”
Shen Qi nodded and said, “Yes.”
“But…” The maid hesitated and said, “Second Young Master…”
“You don’t have to worry about him. If he asks, just tell him that you have thrown it away, but I came and took the suitcase back by myself.”
With that, Shen Qi dragged the suitcase back while the maid followed her, hesitant but at last not saying anything.
After returning to her room, Shen Qi wiped the suitcase, then took out the bag inside. There was a black skirt in it. She had bought it in the store with high hopes when she just got married. However, after going to work, she never had a chance to wear it again.
Well, because…
Shen Qi turned and looked at the wardrobe that was full with clothes. Her eyes slowly dimmed. I have said that I will never spend his money and I will keep that vow!
At the office.
Knock! Knock!
“Come in.”
The door was pushed open. A beautiful figure came in and brought coffee to Ye Moxuan’s table.
“Young Master Ye, your coffee.” Shen Qi put the coffee on the table, her face void of emotion, then turned to go out.
Ye Moxuan’s eyes were locked on the document, but suddenly, he thought of something and raised his gaze to look at Shen Qi, who was wearing an elegant black dress. Although she was wearing it to work, it didn’t seem cumbersome, and it clearly emphasized the outline of her slender waist.
However…
This dress was not one of those that he had bought yesterday.
Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan said, “Wait.”
Hearing this, Shen Qi paused and turned her head around
“Do you still need anything else, Young Master Ye?”
Ye Moxuan squinted.
Shen Qi had worn some light make-up today. Her lips were tinted a dry maple color—the most trendy color these days—which made her originally fair cheeks even brighter. Her long hair, which reached to her waist, also added a touch of softness to her face.
She looked better than she normally did, but Ye Moxuan was unsatisfied with it.
“Where did you get this dress?”
Shen Qi was taken aback by the question. She pursed her lips and said, “It’s mine.”
Seeing that he was still staring at her, Shen Qi explained, “I have had it for a long time but I just took it out today.”
Ye Moxuan was unhappy. “Why don’t you wear the clothes that I bought for you?”
“Didn’t I tell you yesterday that I won’t spend your money?” Shen Qi said obstinately. “I am a woman of my word.”
“Ha!” Ye Moxuan laughed and said, “Don’t want to spend my money? Who do you think is paying for what you eat and where you live?”
“I…” Shen Qi found that she was really unable to refute. She took a deep breath and said, “I know what I live in and eat is all yours. I will work hard and so, please deduct the living cost from my salary.”
“Do you think your salary is enough?”
Shen Qi was speechless. Indeed, the Ye Family had a very big house and her salary may not even be enough to pay for the rent. “What do you want? No matter what, I will try my best to pay you back. You can ask me to do whatever you want in the company.”
Toward the end of her sentence, Shen Qi was agitated, and seriousness was written all over her face.
Ye Moxuan just realised that she was very serious in talking to him about this matter, her voice holding not even a tinge of hypocrisy.
