novelxo Chapter 29
All the fantasies which Shen Qi had just now had been crushed by Ye Moxuan’s cold words. All color drained from her face as her fist clenched silently.
“I… I didn’t think so.”
“Really? Then why did you look so happy? Shen Qi, I’ll warn you again; in public, you are my assistant and nothing more.”
Hearing this, Shen Qi bit her lower lip and said nothing.
“I helped you just because I didn’t want you to embarrass the Ye Family. Do you understand?”
Ye Moxuan, who was so kind before, had now returned to being an arrogant and cold man.
No wonder he acted so differently all of a sudden.
It wasn’t for her sake that he bought the whole mall and gave it to her. All he cared about was the Ye Family’s pride.
She was so happy about it too.
Now that Ye Moxuan had personally told her the truth, embarrassment flooded Shen Qi’s heart.
Xiao Su, who was behind the two of them, naturally heard the conversation between the two. He didn’t understand why Ye Moxuan was being so cold. After all, Ye Moxuan had never cared about the Ye Family’s reputation.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted so boisterously all the time.
However, these words were indeed a bit too much for a girl.
It was obvious that Shen Qi was feeling down, and she was walking slower than before. Xiao Su stepped forward and asked, “Miss Shen, I’ll push the wheelchair.”
Hearing this, Shen Qi snapped back to her senses and shook her head. “No, I’ll do it.”
Suddenly, a thought came into her mind, and she handed back the contract that she had been holding in her arms to Ye Moxuan.
Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows and sneered, “Are you throwing a tantrum now?”
Shen Qi was a little puzzled. “What?”
Looking at his mocking eyes, Shen Qi understood what he meant. Her lips were pressed tightly together as she tried to calm down her restless heart. Before long, her tear-filled eyes returned to their original ruthless look as she said faintly, “I know that you were acting just now, but still I have to thank you. Since we’re done acting now, I’ll return the contract to you.”
She didn’t think that Ye Moxuan would really buy the entire mall and give it to her.
Even if he really bought it and gave it to her, she wouldn’t accept it.
He regarded her as a vain person. Thus, if she accepted these now, it would just confirm his accusations of her.
“I won’t take back what I gave you.”
Hearing this, Shen Qi paused as she pursed her lips and replied stubbornly, “I won’t accept things that don’t belong to me.”
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan was speechless. After a while, he sneered with a touch of sarcasm in those deep eyes, “Oh?”
“I know that I am an unscrupulous woman in your eyes. Since I am such a malicious person, then you shouldn’t give me these things. Otherwise, I would be able to achieve my goals, won’t I?”
“Woman, don’t you want this mall?”
Hearing his insults, Shen Qi bit her lip and angrily said, “Of course not!”
The more she bickered with Ye Moxuan, the more genuine she seemed to be. She was much better than those who kept pretending to be disinterested but then pulled tricks behind his back to get what they wanted.
“Miss Shen, Young Master Ye would never take back what he had given you. You should keep it.”
Seeing that the two were in a stalemate, Xiao Su stepped forward and said kindly.
Anger welled up in Shen Qi. She didn’t want him to look down upon herself! She clenched her fists tightly and was about to say something when she was interrupted by him.
“Do you think that I’m giving it to you for free? Also, that gown costs 300,000. Do you really think you don’t have to pay me back?”
Hearing this, Shen Qi’s lips parted slightly. What did he mean by that?
She wanted to ask him more questions, but they were already in front of the car. Thus, Shen Qi had no choice but to get in the car first.
After getting in the car, her lips parted, but by then Ye Moxuan had already closed his eyes.
“Don’t wake Young Master Ye before we reach our destination, Miss Shen,” Xiao Su, who was sitting in the passenger seat, reminded her kindly.
“…” What a weird guy!
Shen Qi felt a little helpless. The contract in her hand felt as heavy as 1000 kilograms. She looked at Ye Moxuan’s closed eyes, and saw a faint dark circle underneath his narrow, long eyes.
He didn’t have a good night’s rest, did he?
Shen Qi held back the words in her heart and leaned against the side with the contract in her hand.
Before long, she suddenly became a little sleepy too. Soon thereafter, she leaned on the seat drowsily.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, the car stopped abruptly.
With that, Shen Qi opened her eyes.
“Miss Shen, please come down.”
At the same time, Xiao Su got out of the car and opened the door for Shen Qi.
Hearing this, Shen Qi glanced at him blankly, and then her head around to take a glance at Ye Moxuan.
“Miss Shen, please get out of the car. Young Master Ye is in a hurry. We have only half an hour left before we need to go to the banquet.”
Only then did Shen Qi understand his words. She nodded her head, bent down and got out of the car.
Then, Xiao Su took her to a store.
“Yo, how rare to see you here.” A stylishly dressed, tall, and charming woman in the store stepped forward and looked behind Xiao Su. “Where is Moxuan?”
“Young Master Ye is resting. Ms. Jing, this is your task today.”
With that, Xiao Su pushed Shen Qi to Ms. Jing.
Hearing this, Shen Qi was a little flustered. “Who is this?”
Ms. Jing narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Qi for a while. “Is she Moxuan’s woman? When did he…”
“Ms. Jing, we are going to the banquet in half an hour. She is attending as his assistant. Please hurry up!”
“Alright, come with me.”
Shen Qi didn’t dare to waste any more time, and hurriedly went inside along with Ms. Jing. Xiao Su raised his hand and looked at the time again, hoping that Ms. Jing could finish this faster.
Shen Qi followed behind Ms. Jing. After she closed the door, Shen Qi finally realized that the interior of the place was totally different from the exterior.
This place could be said to be a very big cloakroom with sparkling decorations all over the place.
“Tie up your hair and take off your clothes and shoes.”
Hearing this, Shen Qi’s eyes widened. “But I just changed into this dress not long ago.”
Then, Ms. Jing looked back and smiled at her for a while. “This dress is indeed suitable for you, but it doesn’t match your identity as an assistant tonight. An assistant should dress professionally.”
Only then did it dawn upon Shen Qi.
“Alright.”
Then, she obediently went aside to undress. Although Ms. Jing was busy, she took a glance at Shen Qi who was undressing in the corner. When their gazes met, Shen Qi’s pale face reddened at once; she dared not move with Ms. Jing staring at her.
哈？
What?
How did Ye Moxuan find such an interesting woman?
She’s blushing just because I made her change her clothes. How innocent is she?
After cleaning up for a while, Ms. Jing handed her a white suit.
“Change into this.”
“Oh, okay.” Shen Qi hurriedly reached out and took it, then turned around and changed into the clothes obediently.
Ms. Jing stared at her back for a while, then suddenly curled her lips and asked, “Are you Moxuan’s girlfriend?”
Hearing this, Shen Qi paused for a while, then bit her lower lip and shook her head.
“No? Then is he pursuing you?”
Shen Qi frowned slightly, and was about to explain the relationship between them.
“Alright, you don’t need to explain. I already understand everything. This is the first time that Moxuan has brought a woman to me.”
“Ms. Jing, you’ve misunderstood. I’m just his assistant.”
