Perhaps she’s doing this to take care of my feelings, especially because of what happened with Han Xueyou afterward.
Shen Qi pursed her red lips and did not speak anymore.
Moreover, she forgot to read the documents.
After shooting her a look through the rearview mirror, Ye Linhan asked quietly while driving, “You and Yan are quite close, aren’t you?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi returned to her senses and nodded subconsciously. “Of course.”
“No wonder this girl can do so much for you. She is indeed a friend who is worthy of keeping.”
Shen Qi couldn’t help but smile. “Yes, she is more loyal than I thought. I never expected that she would be so good to me.”
“You have your dress ready for the dinner later, right?”
“Yeah.”
“But I haven’t. When I pick up a suit later, you can put on makeup and dress yourself up there. Then, we will leave on time. Everything is already well calculated. You don’t have to worry about being late.”
Everything was arranged perfectly again. Other than nodding her head obediently, Shen Qi didn’t seem to be able to react in another way.
She was holding the dress box and the thick pile of documents, which contained investigations about Han Xueyou.
She should have opened it when she got in the car, but she didn’t know why she didn’t even think about doing that.
After staying motionless for a long time, Ye Linhan seemed to have noticed something and suddenly asked, “Don’t you want to open it?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi was taken aback and smiled slightly. “I’m not in a hurry.”
Ye Linhan’s eyes were a little cold. “I thought you were in a hurry when we were eating just now. It turns out that this is not what you care about, huh?”
How is it possible that I don’t care about this?
Shen Qi tightened her grasp on the documents in her hand. She was quite concerned when she saw this, but the look in Ye Moxuan’s eyes when she went out worried her until now.
She felt as if she was in a situation where she had to choose between two things that had been placed in front of her. With just a glance, she would know which one was more important to her.
Between Ye Moxuan and the authenticity of Han Xueyou’s alleged pregnancy, she had already chosen the former.
Yan kept saying that she was not brave enough because she had been hurt before and that she was still traumatized by the idea of marriage for fear of being betrayed again. If she was willing to believe in Ye Moxuan wholeheartedly, such a thing would not happen.
Is it too late for me to believe in Ye Moxuan now?
Thinking of this, Shen Qi quickly took out her cell phone to text Yan.
Yan had probably gotten in a cab as she replied quickly.
Upon reading the content of the message clearly, a lump formed in Shen Qi’s throat, and she almost cried out loud.
She hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth with some tears in her eyes, but she was also smiling at the same time.
‘Just follow your heart. If you are willing to choose to believe it, that means you are brave enough to face your feelings. I am very happy for you. Qi, no matter what your decision is, I will always stand by you. All the best for everything!”
Indeed, she had to face her feelings courageously.
There were two consequences of putting all her eggs in a basket—the worst was that she would go back to square one. There was nothing she couldn’t afford to lose.
Shen Qi smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then, she put the heavy pile of documents into her bag, thinking of destroying it when she returned.
Ye Linhan also noticed her actions. At that moment, he was a little disappointed, feeling a little empty. After a while, he smiled bitterly. “It seems that you really like him.”
As soon as Shen Qi put the documents away, she paused when she heard his comment. After a while, she nodded. “Yes, that’s true.”
There was nothing to deny after all.
Ye Linhan said nothing, and a peculiar silence fell on the car. When they reached the destination, Ye Linhan took her to put on some makeup before going to choose his outfit.
Shen Qi told the makeup artist that she was in a hurry, so she requested her to put on the makeup quickly. The makeup artist reassured her and asked her to change into her dress quickly before putting on makeup.
When the makeup artist put on her makeup, she could feel that the makeup artist was very skilled and did everything very quickly, but she still felt that it took a long time.
When Ye Linhan’s voice sounded outside, the makeup artist’s hand retracted at the same time.
“It’s all done. Miss, you look stunning!”
Shen Qi came to her senses and looked at herself in the mirror. It turned out that the makeup was done.
But she didn’t have the mood to inspect it closely. After hurriedly thanking her, she got up and walked out.
Ye Linhan was waiting for her outside. When he saw her coming out, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
The dress Ye Moxuan prepared for her was light silver, which was completely different from the style she used to wear. The silver color made her fair skin appear even more dazzling. With the makeup on, she looked like a princess who had just walked out of a painting.
When the light reflected on Shen Qi’s body, Ye Linhan experienced some kind of illusion—it felt as though the person in front of him was a princess who was born in a noble family and was loved and flattered by everyone.
However, Shen Qi came from a middle-class family, so it was quite rare that she had such an air of elegance around her.
After taking a few steps, Shen Qi suddenly staggered, almost toppling over.
Ye Linhan’s expression changed immediately as he quickly stepped forward to support her. “Are you okay?”
Still shocked, Shen Qi shook her head. “I’m fine.”
The few people standing beside her also turned pale upon seeing her stumble, but they were relieved to see her being supported.
Thank God!
“That’s good to hear.” Ye Linhan let go of her hand and let her stand firmly on her own again. “Since everything is done, let’s go.”
“Sure.”
Shen Qi walked out with Ye Linhan and headed for the car again.
When they reached the sides of the car, Ye Linhan suddenly thought of something and unbuttoned his suit jacket to take it off. “Put it on. It’s quite chilly at night, and your dress is not thick enough to keep you warm.”
Looking at his suit jacket, Shen Qi instinctively refused. “Thank you, Linhan, but it won’t be cold in the car later.”
With that, she opened the door and sat inside the car.
Ye Linhan’s hand was hanging in mid-air while holding his suit jacket. After a while, he put the suit jacket back on without another word and mocked himself, feeling bitter.
Ye Linhan, she likes Ye Moxuan very much. What are you still hoping for?
…
It was getting closer to the starting time of the dinner party.
At that moment, the hall was extremely lively. The staff were preparing for the party to begin, but there was a wheelchair on the second floor. Ye Moxuan was sitting in it as he stared coldly at the entrance downstairs without any expression on his face.
That woman hasn’t appeared yet, and she hasn’t called me once.
Hmph, how cruel.
Xiao Su, who was standing by his side, felt his disappointment and couldn’t stop himself from muttering. “Young Master Ye, are you waiting for Young Lady? She will definitely come. I have already sent her the address.”
Upon hearing that, Ye Moxuan came to his senses and curled his thin lips into a sneer. “It has nothing to do with me if she doesn’t come.”
Xiao Su replied, “Aren’t you looking forward to her arrival?”
