After going to the hospital, Xiao Su explained the situation to Song An who shook her head reluctantly. She disinfected Shen Qi’s wounds and applied the ointment before telling her to take a good rest when she went home.
When Shen Qi was leaving, Song An couldn’t help herself and said, “Qi, I consider you family, so I’ll just say what’s on my mind directly—your injury is pretty serious, but you don’t have to come to the hospital everyday. You just need to pester Moxuan to apply the ointment on you, you know?”
Shen Qi blushed when she heard that. “I’m sorry, Aunty. I’ll keep this in mind and never come to trouble you again in the future.”
Hearing that, Song An looked at her helplessly. “Why do you think that way? I’m not saying that you are troublesome, but you can’t keep running to the hospital to let me treat your wounds. You have to learn to ask Moxuan to help you, get it? As a woman, you still have to be gentle sometimes, and don’t be too stubborn.”
Shen Qi paused for a moment before suddenly realizing that Song An was teaching her how to deal with Ye Moxuan.
“Aunty, I—”
“Don’t forget what I told you that day. Although Moxuan looks cold on the outside he is, in fact, very sensitive and quite fragile too. His appearance is quite different from his true character. You just have to find a way to deal with him, okay?”
Then, Song An held her hand. “Don’t tell anyone that I told you this. You found out about this on your own, got it?”
After saying goodbye to Song An, Shen Qi went back to the Ye residence directly. Once she was home, she was lost in her thoughts and suddenly took out her phone, wanting to send a message to Han Xueyou via WeChat.
She didn’t have many friends—she only had Han Xueyou as her close friend and Yan whom she had gotten close recently.
There were many things on her mind now, and she wanted to find someone to share them with.
After opening Han Xueyou’s WeChat account, Shen Qi paused. Thinking of what Han Xueyou had told her before, she didn’t know whether she should share her thoughts with her. Would Han Xueyou scold her?
At the thought of this, Shen Qi took a deep breath and finally put her phone down.
Forget it. I should just follow my heart.
At noon, Shen Qi wanted to go to the company to find Ye Moxuan for lunch, but when she arrived at the company, he was nowhere to be found.
After asking some people, only then did she learn that he had left the company very early. In fact, according to the security guards, Ye Moxuan left the company right after her.
When she heard that, Shen Qi began to ponder about it.
At that time, he asked Xiao Su to send her away because he had to go back to the meeting.
Obviously, the meeting was very important, so he only paused it halfway. However, why did he leave the company again? Was there something particularly important that he had to attend to? Was it something more important than the meeting itself?
Shen Qi was a little curious, but she didn’t think much about it. Instead, she went to look for Yan to have lunch with her. During the entire afternoon, she didn’t see Ye Moxuan at all, and he didn’t return to the company. In the end, Shen Qi had to go home by herself.
Initially, Shen Qi thought that she could at least see him at night, so she did not re-apply the ointment because she remembered what Song An had told her, thinking that he might be able to help her with that.
So, at the beginning, Shen Qi sat on the couch and waited for him until she accidentally fell asleep later. When she suddenly jolted awake, she found that the room was still empty, and no one was around.
Shen Qi’s hands subconsciously reached up and rubbed her eyes. Ye Moxuan is still not back yet?
After rubbing her eyes, she took out her phone and looked at it.
It was already midnight.
It’s so late already.
I’ve actually been sleeping on the couch for hours?
Shen Qi felt a little cold, so she quickly got up to find a coat to wrap herself in, and she went out to find Ye Moxuan.
After going to the study room, she still didn’t see Ye Moxuan, so she could only ask the servants.
“Is Young Master Ye not back yet?”
The maid saw her and replied, “Second Young Lady, it’s already late. Why are you still up?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi pursed her lips and said, “You still haven’t answered my question.”
The maid respectfully replied, “Young Master Ye hasn’t come back yet. Maybe he’s busy working. It’s quite late, so you should rest early.”
With that, the maid walked away.
Shen Qi stood there blankly. It’s so late already, but he still hasn’t come back yet.
What is he busy with?
Thinking of this, Shen Qi remembered what happened at the company during the day. Ye Moxuan left the company early in the morning, and she waited for him in the company all afternoon, but he didn’t return at all. The day had already ended, and he was still not home.
Did something happen to him?
Shen Qi’s heart sped up as she anxiously took out her mobile phone to call Ye Moxuan.
However, after calling his phone, she realized that he couldn’t be reached, so she could only call Xiao Su as she was worried about him.
The phone rang a few times before the call connected, and Xiao Su’s voice sounded a little confused as if he was being woken up.
“Who is it?”
“Xiao Su, it’s me.”
“Hmm? Who are you? S-Second Young Lady?” Xiao Su was still a little confused at first, but then, he recognized Shen Qi’s voice, and it was as if his sleep immediately left him. Then, Shen Qi heard a rustling sound on the other end. After she politely took the phone away for a while, only then did she hear Xiao Su’s voice. She put the phone against her ear again.
“Excuse me for the delay, Second Young Lady. What can I do for you?”
Hearing his tone, it seemed as though he was not by Ye Moxuan’s side.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi asked tentatively, “I just want to ask if you were with Ye Moxuan today?”
Hearing Ye Moxuan’s name, Xiao Su suddenly felt guilty after recalling some matters.
“Second Young Lady, why the sudden question? Is there any problem?”
“H-He hasn’t come home yet, so I am a little worried about him.”
“What?” Xiao Su was obviously startled. “Young Master Ye hasn’t returned yet?”
Shen Qi nodded. “Yes, do you know where he is?”
“Damn!” Xiao Su couldn’t help but swear. “How could Young Master Ye be stuck with her until now? Look at the time!”
They were Xiao Su’s personal grumbles. Although he said them quietly, Shen Qi heard some parts of his sentence, but she was still quite confused, so she asked, “What did you just say?”
“Nothing,” Xiao Su returned to his senses abruptly and denied. “It’s nothing. Don’t worry, Second Young Lady. I’ll call Young Master Ye to ask him about this.”
“His cell phone couldn’t be reached.”
Shen Qi paused and bit her lower lip nervously. “C-Can you bring me to him?”
She was very curious about what Ye Moxuan had been up to all day.
“Second Young Lady…” Xiao Su said in difficulty, “I’m afraid that I can’t do that. It’s late, and you are hurt. If Young Master Ye finds out that I’m taking you out at this hour, I will definitely be punished.”
“It’s okay. My injuries are almost healed. I’m just a little worried about him.”
“Second Young Lady, don’t worry. I’ll find Young Master Ye immediately. Have a good rest.”
