novelxo Chapter 178
Shen Qi stood at the entrance of the company and waited for Han Xueyou with the box in her hands.
When Ye Moxuan’s car came to a stop, Han Xueyou opened the door and pushed Ye Moxuan down while looking at Shen Qi with a smile. “Hey, Qi, what are you holding in your hands?”
As soon as she said that, Shen Qi felt a gaze as sharp as a knife falling on her.
Ye Moxuan’s icy eyes were as cold and as terrifying as a poisoned snake, so much so that Shen Qi couldn’t help but shrink into her neck and subconsciously hug the box tighter in her arms.
She did that subconsciously. However, in Ye Moxuan’s eyes, it seemed like the box was very precious to her.
She had gotten in the car empty-handed but had arrived with a box in her hands.
What did this mean?
Heh, this woman really took great pains to butter his brother up.
“Nothing,” Shen Qi said softly after tightening her hold on the box.
Hearing this, Han Xueyou smiled and pushed Ye Moxuan forward. They were so close to Shen Qi that she could even feel the cold aura emanating from Ye Moxuan surrounding her.
She took a step back, trying to get out of the encirclement of his coldness.
“Qi, is this a gift from Mr. Ye? I’m pretty sure that you didn’t have this box with you when you got in his car, right?”
Hearing this, Shen Qi’s expression soured while she thought to herself, Can you stop talking about this?
Thus, she winked at Han Xueyou. However, Han Xueyou didn’t understand her signals at all for some reason.
Seeing this, Shen Qi felt anxious. However, she couldn’t openly tell her to change the topic.
It just so happened that Ye Linhan had already parked his car and walked over. Then, he responded to Han Xueyou’s question with a faint smile.
“It’s nothing much. I just asked her to help me bring this to my colleagues.”
“Is that so? I thought that it was a gift from you, Mr. Ye.” With this, Han Xueyou pursed her lips and smirked. She even had a sneaky look in her eyes. Shen Qi thought at first that Han Xueyou couldn’t understand her wink.
Now, she finally understood that Han Xueyou did it on purpose because she knew that the person who she had s*x with that night was Ye Linhan!
Thinking of this, Shen Qi’s face turned pale. Then, she turned around and said, “I’ll go in first.”
With that, she quickly left the place.
“What’s wrong?” Han Xueyou asked seemingly casually.
Ye Linhan narrowed his eyes as he looked at her before leaving as well.
After they had both left, Xiao Su rushed out just as Han Xueyou wanted to push Ye Moxuan forward.
“Miss Han, let me do it.”
“It’s okay.” Han Xueyou didn’t back away. Instead, she stood still as if she didn’t want to let him push Ye Moxuan’s wheelchair.
However, Xiao Su wouldn’t budge. The tall man closed in on her and he said, “You don’t have to do this, Miss Han. After all, you are not familiar with the company and you wouldn’t know where to go. I will do it.” After saying that, he just pushed Ye Moxuan and left before Han Xueyou could react.
Han Xueyou froze in place, staring blankly at Xiao Su’s back.
I don’t know if it is my imagination, but I feel that Xiao Su is very hostile toward me! Why? Is it because of Shen Qi?
Xiao Su walked forward quickly and caught up with Shen Qi and Ye Linhan as they stepped into the elevator. Seeing that Han Xueyou was catching up with them, he moved to the corner and directly pressed the button to close the elevator door.
“Hey, wait for me!” Han Xueyou hurriedly called out when she saw that the elevator door was about to close.
Hmph. I’m not waiting for you, you fake b*tch!
Xiao Su cursed in his heart.
The next second, a petite figure rushed out of the elevator.
It was Shen Qi who had dashed out. “You two go up first. I will come with Xueyou later.”
Ding—
The elevator door had just closed when Shen Qi turned to look at Han Xueyou.
“Xueyou.”
“Qi…” When Han Xueyou looked past her and saw that the elevator door was closed, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
She wanted to take the same elevator with Ye Moxuan. It seemed like she wouldn’t get the chance to do so again anytime soon.
“Let me bring you upstairs. Let’s take another elevator.” With that, Shen Qi took her to another elevator. When the elevator was going up, Han Xueyou looked at the box in her hand and asked, “Mr. Ye gave you this, didn’t he?”
Hearing this, Shen Qi paused and nodded.
“Yes.”
“That’s great. I already told you that Mr. Ye probably likes you. You will definitely be happier dating him than dating Ye Moxuan,” Han Xueyou spoke frankly and loudly.
However, Shen Qi was already feeling guilty. Hearing Han Xueyou speaking so loudly, her expression changed drastically and she stretched out her hand to cover Han Xueyou’s mouth.
“Don’t forget that walls have ears. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Han Xueyou smiled and pulled her hand down. “What are you so afraid of? I’m telling the truth. You have nothing to be afraid of even if someone heard me. After all, the child in your womb…”
“Stop talking!” Shen Qi’s expression changed drastically and she sternly rebuked Han Xueyou.
The smile on Han Xueyou’s face froze. Then, she stared at her blankly for a long while before lowering her eyes. “I’m sorry, Qi. I didn’t know that it was such a big deal to you… I will keep quiet about this in the future.”
The moment she apologized, Shen Qi felt bad for overreacting just now. Thus, she explained, “I didn’t mean to blame you. It’s just that there are so many people here in the company. I was afraid that what you said would be heard by someone nosy. Then… it’ll bring me unnecessary trouble.”
“I understand.”
Han Xueyou poked her fingers together in a huff. “But I said that for your own good. Look at how Ye Moxuan is ignoring you now. He doesn’t even look at you and even makes you sleep on the floor. I don’t know how you put up with him.”
“I have an agreement with him,” Shen Qi sighed helplessly and she looked lost.
“Almost two months have passed anyway. I only have a few months left.”
“A few months…” Han Xueyou suddenly raised her head. “Qi, what are you thinking of? Are you really going to wait until the agreed date to leave Ye Moxuan?” She reminded her.
“W-What’s wrong with that?” Shen Qi actually didn’t know how she felt about this. However, she knew that if she was asked to leave now, she would feel very reluctant to do so.
Even she herself didn’t know why she was so reluctant to leave.
“What’s wrong with that?” Han Xueyou became anxious when she heard her response. “Qi, don’t you know that your belly will become even bigger in another four months? If you leave Ye Moxuan then, everyone will think that the father of the kid in your womb… is Ye Moxuan!”
Shen Qi asked, “…Is that so?”
“You should listen to me and leave him earlier to be with Mr. Ye. I know you have been reluctant to speak about this issue. I can go and talk to him for you!”
Just as the elevator doors opened, Han Xueyou dashed out. Seeing this, Shen Qi’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately stepped forward to stop her. “Xueyou, don’t act so impulsively. We need to give the matter further thought.”
“What else do we have to think about? Even if we can wait for you to make a decision, can the kid in your stomach wait until then? Qi, why do you keep rejecting my suggestion? Are you reluctant to leave Ye Moxuan after all? You like him, don’t you?”
