However, seeing Yan’s expression now, it didn’t seem like she disliked Shen Qi. In the end, Shen Qi couldn’t help asking, “D-Don’t you feel disgusted by me?”
Yan looked at her strangely. “Why would I?” As soon as she asked that, she suddenly came to a realization. “My God, please don’t tell me that you thought I didn’t like you anymore because I entered my room for a while. And you were going to leave silently because of that?”
Shen Qi didn’t answer her, but this was her line of thoughts indeed. Yan was speechless with anger. “Come on! Even without hearing me out, you’ve already made all these assumptions! Do you often do this to Ye Moxuan too?” While speaking, she stretched out her arm and pulled Shen Qi back into the living room.
“I went back to my room because I have never encountered such a situation before, so I didn’t know how to comfort you for a while; that’s why I went back to my room to sort out my thoughts. Now that everything is sorted out, I planned to come out to talk to you. However, you actually… thought of me as that type of person! That’s too hurtful!”
“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to.” “Forget it. Since I’m not a petty person, you’re forgiven.” Yan pulled her to sit on the sofa. “I’ve thought this through. If I didn’t hear you wrongly, Ye Moxuan knows about this, right?’
Shen Qi nodded. “Then it’s easy. Since he knows about this, and he still shows affection to you—even allowing you to keep the child—this shows that he has already tacitly accepted this.”
Yan held her chin in deep thought. “As for what you’ve just said, I think it’s because you’ve always reproached yourself first. Just like how I have done nothing, yet you felt that you are annoying and wanted to leave.
Maybe it is the same with Ye Moxuan. Qi, I told you before that you have to give him a chance to explain. From the way he looks at you, I can tell that he really loves you.”
“What if I’m not the only person he loves?”
Yan asked, “You’re referring to Han Xueyou?”
“I haven’t told you another news.”
Upon hearing that, Yan took a few steps back abruptly and clutched her chest. “You have too much news for me. I feel like I can’t take another shocking news.”
“Han Xueyou said she is pregnant.”
“And the child belongs to Ye Moxuan?” Yan answered as if it was beyond obvious.
Shen Qi was a little surprised to hear that. “How did you know about that?”
Yan scoffed. “You don’t believe it, do you?”
Shen Qi went silent at that.
“I think you are out of your mind to believe this kind of nonsense. Han Xueyou is really a b*tch; she wants to take her best friend’s husband away, and she even has the guts to tell you that she is pregnant. And you actually believed it, you fool!”
For a while, Shen Qi could not utter another word as she indeed believed Han Xueyou. “I highly doubt that she would joke about such matters.”
“Is that so? Do you truly know her? In the past, did you think she was someone who would do this to you? You didn’t predict that these would happen, yet you’re still pretending that you know her well? If she’s indeed pregnant, does she have a medical certificate from the hospital?”
When Yan said that, Shen Qi immediately felt as if she had woken from a trance, and many of her muddled thoughts became clear. Was I deceived by Han Xueyou?
However, on the other hand, Ye Moxuan said he was going to give her a satisfactory answer, but he hadn’t given her that. Why would he keep dragging it out, and what kind of relationship is there between him and Han Xueyou?
“This matter is very complicated, but I’m sure Han Xueyou is lying. If you don’t believe me, I can accompany you to look into this.”
“Look into this? How do we do that?”
“It’s very simple. Didn’t she say that she is pregnant? We can go to her to ask for proof. If there is no proof, you can’t believe her just by her words. Qi, since she is determined to steal your husband, she is definitely prepared. You must not be deceived by her. It will do you no good if your relationship with Ye Moxuan is affected.”
Shen Qi could not speak for a while, for she felt really useless. She should have been able to think clearly about such things, but her feelings and emotions got the better of her at that time, so she believed what Han Xueyou said.
“You came to me without telling Ye Moxuan, didn’t you? Quickly call him or send a text message saying that you missed me today, so you’re here to keep me company. Then, ask him to quickly come and take you back.”
While Shen Qi was still hesitating, Yan grabbed her bag and took out her cell phone. Just when she was about to call Ye Moxuan, the phone actually rang at this moment. Both of them were taken aback at the same time before they looked at each other.
Yan was always calm and mature, but after answering Ye Moxuan’s call, she immediately smiled and spoke in an obsequious tone, “Young Master Ye, good evening, are you looking for Qi? She is here with me.” She had changed into a completely different person from who she was just now—she kept using Ye Moxuan’s full name earlier, yet she immediately addressed him respectfully at this moment.
Of course, Yan was not a fool—Ye Moxuan was her boss after all. If necessary, she would flatter her boss when she wanted a raise or bonus. But when the boss was not around, she could say whatever she liked.
Meanwhile, Shen Qi clenched her fists nervously. When she came out during the day, everything was going awry, and she didn’t know if Zhu Yun really did keep her secret for her.
“Why? We are good friends, so she came to find me because she missed me. Young Master Ye, are you coming to pick her up now?”
“What?!” Yan exclaimed out loud. “I see.” Then, she hung up the phone quickly.
Shen Qi was shocked by her sudden change of tone just now and became nervous. “What’s wrong?”
Yan gave her the cell phone and answered, “Young Master Ye is downstairs!”
Hearing that, Shen Qi was shocked. He is already downstairs? In other words, he was already here before he called? Did Mr. Jin tell him about my location? Did he also tell Ye Moxuan about what happened today?
“Let’s go, Qi. I will take you downstairs so that you can go back.”
Shen Qi bit her lips and got up after her nervously. “Is it really possible?”
“Why not? Just leave behind your worries here. When you go back with him later, just treat it as if nothing had happened. As for Han Xueyou’s pregnancy, I will take time off tomorrow and accompany you to look into this. Just leave it to me.”
Although Yan looked young and petite, she was quite strong. While dragging Shen Qi out, she opened the door and pulled her outside. Then, she locked the door and led Shen Qi to the elevator.
“Remember not to tell him what happened, and be more confident! Young Master Ye really loves you. Don’t imagine nonsensical things by yourself again!”
These remarks warmed Shen Qi’s heart; Yan was really kind to her through and through. She wondered what she had done in her past life to always meet people who treated her well.
Ding! The elevator door opened, and Ye Moxuan was in it.
