After Ye Moxuan entered, Shen Qi started to panic as she bit her lower lip. That was because they were talking about his impotence just now. Just as they were nearing the end of their conversation, he appeared at the entrance of the sickroom. Moreover, she wasn’t sure whether he overheard their conversation.
If he did overhear it, then what should she do?
Or did he hear the earlier one? When she thought about this, her face turned pale as she clenched the blanket in her hands tightly.
After Ye Moxuan entered, he gave the room a sweeping glance before his gaze landed on Shen Qi’s figure.
“Why did you lock the door from the inside?”
When she heard this, she started to panic as her face turned pale.
Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes dangerously as he thought to himself, Hah! This woman is indeed a fool! She does not know how to hide her intentions at all. One question is enough to make her spill the beans.
When Han Xueyou, who was standing beside the door, heard this, she quickly walked toward him and explained it on behalf of Shen Qi. She said, “Just now, Qi was changing her clothes, hence we locked the door for awhile. There shouldn’t be a problem with it, right?”
Ye Moxuan’s cold gaze was still fixed upon Shen Qi, as if trying to figure out whether she was lying or not.
Shen Qi did not dare to meet his gaze. Hence, she could only lower her eyes.
She had no choice as she felt very guilty.
Shen Qi had a habit, and that was she couldn’t meet another person’s gaze when she was telling a lie. Otherwise, she would be easily exposed.
The situation in the room seemed to be in a deadlock. The temperature in the room had dropped the moment Ye Moxuan entered. On the other hand, Shen Qi sat on the bed like a prisoner, not daring to move a muscle. Han Xueyou felt sorry for her as she coughed slightly.
“Erm… Qi has always been sensitive. Moreover, there is no one else here aside from the two of us women, so we locked the door for safety reasons. Ye… Second Young Master, you understand it, don’t you?”
Han Xueyou stood in front of Shen Qi and entered Ye Moxuan’s line of vision.
Ye Moxuan looked at the woman standing before him. She looked different from Shen Qi. She wore exquisite makeup on her face and branded apparels as well. Moreover, she had a hot figure. Overall, she looked extremely energetic.
On the other hand, Shen Qi, who was sitting behind her, was wearing a light colored medical gown. Her fair face and even her lips looked pale. In addition to that, her hair was in a mess.
Hence, there was a stark contrast between the both of them.
Ye Moxuan retracted his gaze and did not reply to her. On the other hand, he looked at Shen Qi and asked coldly, “Where is Madam Chen?”
When she heard this, Shen Qi paused for a moment before she lifted her head.
“Madam Chen went back to rest.”
Ye Moxuan frowned.
“Han Xueyou is accompanying me today. Moreover, I feel fine now, so…”
It seemed that he came to look for Madam Chen. No wonder… How could he have come to visit her?
“Ok.” Ye Moxuan lifted his chin slightly, indicating to Xiao Su that he wanted to leave. Xiao Su was speechless as he placed the plastic bag in his hands on the table. “Assistant Shen, these are the toiletries I have prepared just now. I will put it here. The doctor said that you have to stay in the hospital for another two days as they wanted to observe your condition. Hence, you have to stay in the hospital for the next two days.”
“Ok. Thank you.”
“If there is nothing else. I will leave with Young Master Ye first.”
With that, Xiao Su stepped forward and pushed Ye Moxuan’s wheelchair as they left. After they left the ward behind, Xiao Su couldn’t stand it anymore as he asked Ye Moxuan directly, “Young Master Ye, didn’t we come here to visit her? Why do we have to leave so soon?”
When he heard this, Ye Moxuan’s gaze turned cold. “I am fine with it as long as she does not die. Do you plan on staying any longer?”
Xiao Su was speechless for a moment. “But, Young Master Ye, the way you put it just now, Assistant Shen might think that you came to find Madam Chen instead of her.”
“Didn’t I come to look for Madam Chen?”
Xiao Su was rendered speechless once again.
Fine, as long as you are happy.
Inside the ward…
After they left, Han Xueyou sat beside Shen Qi. “I heard his subordinate addressing you as Assistant Shen. What is going on? Based on your position in the Ye Family, he should be addressing you as my Lady, right?”
When she heard this, Shen Qi smiled bitterly. “What were you thinking? I am not the real Lady of the house. In the future, we will be getting a divorce.”
Strangely enough, Han Xueyou felt her anxious heart relaxing as she broke into a smile and said, “That’s right. You guys will get a divorce in the future.”
She knew about the promise between Shen Qi and Ye Moxuan. Half a year later, Shen Qi would be leaving the Ye Family. By then, Ye Moxuan would be single once again.
She did not know why but her depressed mood seemed to have cleared up.
When she thought about this, Han Xueyou grabbed Shen Qi’s fair wrists and said softly, “Don’t worry. I will try my best to find the father of your child. I will reunite your family.”
Shen Qi paused for a moment and thought to herself, A reunion?
“I do not know what the other party looks like. Sometimes I wonder… if we have made a hasty decision? What if the other party is a married man? Or maybe he carries some kind of burden…”
After all, it was a one night stand.
How could anyone know a person’s personality through a one night stand? Under the cover of darkness, you wouldn’t be able to differentiate whether the other party was a human or a ghost.
“I feel that he isn’t that kind of person. I believe that he is a refined man. As for whether he is a married man or not, we have to wait and see. If everything doesn’t work out, you are pregnant with his child anyway, so you are considered his wife. Hence, you can snatch him from her.”
When she heard this, Shen Qi couldn’t help but stare at her with wide eyes. “X-Xueyou, what kind of nonsense are you saying?”
Han Xueyou smiled. “What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong? If you want something, you have to obtain it through whatever means. Do you want that child to be raised in a single parent household?”
Shen Qi was speechless.
That was the first time she heard Han Xueyou talking like that. She could not accept it at the moment.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Han Xueyou looked at her in bewilderment.
Shen Qi bit her bottom lip and said, “Xueyou, I am pretty sure you know why Lin Jiang divorced me, right?”
When she heard this, the smile on Han Xueyou’s face gradually disappeared as her gaze was replaced by a panicked look.
“I am sorry, Qi. I did not think too much back then. I did not ask you to… become a mistress. I just felt that it was that guy’s fault in the first place as he made you pregnant. If we manage to find him, we have to make him take responsibility for his actions. I do not mean anything otherwise. Please don’t be angry with me.”
Shen Qi wasn’t able to say anything at the moment.
“Lin Jiang was a jerk anyway! Take a look at him! He obviously had a woman outside, but he told you that he was impotent. He didn’t touch you for a long time after you guys got married. In the end, he dumped you after he won the lottery. This was his original plan all along. You cannot compare yourself to his mistress. You understand what I am saying?”
Shen Qi nodded her head. “I understand.”
“Qi, please believe me. I am on your side. I always have your best interest at heart. If… I said something I shouldn’t have, please don’t be angry at me.”
Shen Qi noticed that she had a pitiful look on her face. Only then did she realize that she had taken her words too seriously just now. Hence, she held her hands instead and said, “It’s ok. I know that you are looking out for me. However, you cannot say those kinds of words again. If the other party has a family of his own, we can treat it as if this matter never happened at all, ok?”
“Ok!” Han Xueyou nodded her head. “I will listen to you. Don’t worry. I will definitely help you find that guy!”
