When Madam Chen noticed that Shen Qi looked depressed, she knew that her words of consolation might be useless. Hence, she could only say gently, “Second Young Lady, don’t give up. After all, you just married into the Ye Family not too long ago. You need to build up a good relationship with the second Young Master. I can see that he treats you differently.”
When she heard this, Shen Qi lifted her head as she gazed at Madam Chen with a warm expression.
“Thank you, Madam Chen.”
Shen Qi lay down to rest after she ate the porridge. Madam Chen said that she would look after her for the night. Afterward, Shen Qi asked her to rest in the bed beside her. Coincidentally, she was the only person in the room. Hence, Madam Chen agreed to her suggestion.
Shen Qi sat for a while before she sent a message to Han Xueyou to update her about her situation. Following that, she went ahead and slept as well.
The next day, Han Xueyou came to the hospital to look for her.
“Madam, thank you for looking after Qi for the night. I will look after her today. You better go back and take a rest.” Han Xueyou was a sweet talker as she hugged Madam Chen’s arm and said a lot of nice things. She was able to coax Madam Chen into an exuberant mood. Hence, Madam Chen left soon enough.
After Madam Chen left, Han Xueyou quickly closed the doors to the sickroom. Then, she returned back to the room.
“What’s the matter? Why are you sneaking around?” Shen Qi couldn’t help but ask.
When she heard this, Han Xueyou looked her in the eye and said, “You dare to say that to me? If it weren’t for the fact that I was helping you investigate some things, I wouldn’t have to sneak around.”
Investigate? Then, Shen Qi remembered that button. “Is there any news about it?”
Han Xueyou opened her bag and took out the button. The golden button gleamed under the light. “I am returning this to its rightful owner.”
Shen Qi reached out her hand to take it. Then, she asked doubtfully, “Don’t you need this for your investigations? Why don’t you need it anymore?”
“I just need to take a look at it to remember it. There is no reason for me to have it on me. Moreover, this object is precious to you, so I definitely have to return it to you.” With that, Han Xueyou fluttered her eyes with a smile. “Qi, you really got lucky.”
Shen Qi was wondering what she meant by that.
“My brother told me that this button is a rarity in the market. The material that was used to make this button is rare. I have already put my men on the case already. After they locate the source of the material, I believe it would be easy to know who it was that night.”
Shen Qi originally thought that it would be difficult to rely on a button to help her find a person. However, she did not expect Han Xueyou to resolve this issue in such a quick manner. She was moved as she said, “Xueyou, thank you.”
“Silly girl, there is no need for you to thank me. We are friends, aren’t we?” Han Xueyou smiled. Then, she suddenly recalled something as she said, “If we manage to find that person, what are your plans? Do you plan on getting a divorce?”
The moment she mentioned Ye Moxuan, Shen Qi’s expression became complicated.
“Cat got your tongue?” Han Xueyou looked her up and down as she asked, “What happened?”
“I… don’t know.”
“What do you mean you don’t know? You can always tell me your problems. I will analyze it for you.”
Shen Qi lifted her head. When she noticed the sincere expression on Han Xueyou’s face, her lips quivered. Then, she told her everything that happened to her. After she finished speaking, Han Xueyou propped her chin up with her hands as she gave her a starry eye look and said, “Just by listening to your story, I think Ye Moxuan treats you pretty well.”
Pretty well? Shen Qi felt the same way. However, when she recalled the scene of him speaking to her in such a cold manner, she felt that it probably was her own misconception.
“However, he is a volatile person. Maybe it’s due to his leg injury? I heard that people with physical defects are more prone to losing their tempers. Moreover, he is a man. If he is impotent, then it might be an awful thing for him…”
Shen Qi suddenly recalled the scene where she had entered the Ye residence for the first time. In order to stay there, she said those unscrupulous things to Ye Moxuan. In the end, she was dragged onto his lap and was made to feel that ‘thing’.
If Ye Moxuan wasn’t able to have an erection, then what was that ‘thing’ that was poking against her that day?
“What are you thinking about? Your face looks flush.”
Just as she was thinking about it, Han Xueyou’s words pulled her back to reality. Shen Qi noticed Han Xueyou staring at her from the corner of her eye. As such, the temperature of her face went up a notch. Then, she coughed gently and said, “I feel that we should not discuss this matter in such a presumptuous way.”
“What’s wrong? Do you feel sorry for him?”
“I do not…”
“Then, tell me what were you thinking just now? Why did you blush when I talked about his sex life? Could it be that you have experienced it before?” Han Xueyou smiled evilly as she got close to her. Then, she seemed to recall something as she said, “That’s not right. Rumor has it that the second Young Master of the Ye Family is impotent. So, there is no way he was able to make you blush.”
“Xueyou, please stop talking.” Shen Qi could not tolerate her anymore. She was so dirty-minded.
“I did not say anything. It was you who started blushing. I was just asking you a question.”
Shen Qi was speechless.
Knock! Knock!
A series of knocks were heard from the other side of the door. Then, the door knob was turned, but it did not open. Following that, a doubtful voice rang from the other side of the door.
“Assistant Shen?”
Han Xueyou gave Shen Qi a look and noticed that her expression had changed dramatically.
“Who are you?” Han Xueyou was able to guess the identity of that person.
“Young Master Ye, the door has been locked from the inside.”
Shen Qi’s face turned pale. He really came!
Didn’t he leave after visiting her yesterday? Why did he have to come here today? What was he doing?
“Don’t worry.” Just as Shen Qi was panicking, Han Xueyou covered Shen Qi’s hands with hers as she winked at Shen Qi playfully. “I got your back.”
With that, Han Xueyou got up and opened the door without waiting for Shen Qi’s reply.
Xiao Su was preparing to take further actions when he saw the door open. Then, a strange woman appeared at the door. Xiao Su was stunned as he thought to himself whether he had walked into the wrong room. However, when he lifted his head to look at his surroundings closely, he noticed that it was the right one.
“Are you guys here to visit Shen Qi?” Before Xiao Su had time to think things through, Han Xueyou took the initiative and asked.
When he heard this, only then did Xiao Su look into the room. He finally reacted after he noticed that Shen Qi was sitting on the bed as he nodded his head.
“Yes.”
“Please come in.” Han Xueyou turned her body sideways. Only then did Xiao Su walk to the back and push Ye Moxuan in.
It was at this moment that Han Xueyou was able to take a good look at him. Although he was in a wheelchair, he still exuded a powerful aura. His handsome features were a work of art, and in that instant, her attention was drawn toward him.
His gaze was cold, and he merely gave her one look before he retracted it.
Han Xueyou watched as Xiao Su pushed him into the room. She had not regained her senses yet. That… person… was the heir to Ye Group of the Ye Family which was one of the top families in North City, Ye Moxuan?
However, wasn’t he a cripple? Han Xueyou thought that the other party was a fat, ugly man with greasy hair, a sallow complexion, and cloudy looking eyes who sat in the wheelchair all year round.
She did not expect him to be that handsome…
In the past, based on her imagination alone, she felt sorry for Shen Qi as she was forced into this marriage. However, now…
Han Xueyou gulped as Ye Moxuan’s handsome-looking eyes appeared in her mind. In that instant, she felt upset.
She slowly turned her head around and looked at the guy whose head looked perfect even from the back. She felt as if a huge hand had gripped her heart.
