Shen Qi thought she had heard it wrongly. How could the indifferent Ye Moxuan actually greet people?
Moreover, he’d actually said it to Han Xueyou. Suddenly, Shen Qi had mixed feelings. Although she was happy that Ye Moxuan greeted Han Xueyou, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable about it.
“Xiao Su, to the study room.”
Xiao Su immediately reacted. “You guys have fun. Young Master Ye and I still have some work that we have to finish.”
“Alright.” Han Xueyou grinned cheerfully before waving at Ye Moxuan and Xiao Su, watching their silhouettes as they left. “I think Ye Moxuan isn’t really as cold and scary as what I’ve imagined. What do you think?”
Shen Qi was deep in her thoughts as she fixed her gaze on Ye Moxuan’s receding back. “I guess so.”
“You’re so lucky, Qi!”
“Lucky?”
“Yeah? Getting married to someone as remarkable as Ye Moxuan after that leaving that jerk of a man, Lin Jiang, I’d say that you’re pretty lucky!”
I’m lucky? Shen Qi smiled wryly.
She didn’t know if getting married to Ye Moxuan was a blessing or a curse.
“Sigh, but I guess being remarkable is useless since you guys will get divorced soon.”
Everyone gathered at the dining table during dinner time, Old Master Ye’s facial expression only looking slightly warmer when he realized that there were visitors over.
“Hello, Old Master Ye. I am Han Xueyou from Han Group.”
“Han Group?” Old Master Ye narrowed his eyes. “Is Han Qing your brother?”
Han Xueyou was surprised. “Do you know my brother?”
Admiration shone through Old Master Ye’s eyes. “I’ve met him once. He’s an ambitious young man.”
“Thank you for the praise, Old Master Ye.”
“Moxuan, you could also learn from him,” Old Master Ye suddenly called out to Ye Moxuan.
Everyone at the dining table immediately shifted their gaze over to Ye Moxuan.
Ye Moxuan smirked. “Are there any groups in North City that could beat our family’s business?”
Old Master Ye almost choked when he heard Ye Moxuan’s bold statement.
He snorted. “Do you really think that you’re the sole contributor to Ye Group’s success?”
Ye Moxuan’s eye twitched slightly, his voice cold and steely. “Ye Group was just one of the Five Big Groups 5 years back when I hadn’t taken over the company. However, Ye Group rose to the top in the industry after me taking it over. So grandfather, what kind of illusion are you in to think that I’m not responsible for Ye Group’s success?”
What he said sounded justified. Moreover, Ye Moxuan’s deep voice had a charisma to it, making others unable to protest against him. Shen Qi, who was listening, was surprised as well; it seemed like Ye Moxuan’s power wasn’t to be looked down upon.
But… What was the reason for Old Master Ye’s dislike toward him?
Shen Qi became curious. Why was Ye Moxuan and his grandfather’s relationship so tense?
Meanwhile, Han Xueyou was fangirling, “Wow, Young Master Ye is right, Old Master Ye. It is my brother that should learn from him instead.”
Although the Han Family was one of the Three Great Families, they were all still below Ye Group.
However, because Ye Group was disdainful of being grouped together with other families, they surged to the top.
“You’re being too modest. Your brother is a talented young man; we should work together in the future if we have a chance to.”
Old Master Ye and Han Xueyou chatted happily. Shen Qi was really jealous of Han Xueyou sometimes. To her, Han Xueyou was a remarkable person that could speak with anyone easily. Unlike her…
As expected, everyone acted differently around different people.
For example, Old Master Ye was never happy when he saw her, only speaking to her coldly every time they met and she would never try to say anything to make him happy as well.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi looked down and started picking at her food.
Suddenly, a chicken wing was placed into her bowl. Shen Qi’s head shot up and she was met with Ye Linhan’s gentle smile.
“You should eat some meat and vegetables as well, Shen Qi. It is not healthy to just eat the rice.”
Everyone was taken aback. No one expected Ye Linhan to get her food. Shen Qi immediately became awkward as she nodded quickly. “T-Thank you, Linhan.”
Han Xueyou saw and stared at Shen Qi, her eyes twinkling. “Linhan is so nice to you!”
Shen Qi bit her lip anxiously. He was nice to her. However, his niceties…
Ye Moxuan, who sat by her left, chuckled lightly, barely audible enough for her to hear. Looking over at him, Shen Qi noticed that his gaze was steely and she could barely notice any emotion from him.
Damn it, he must have misunderstood again.
“Let’s eat.” Ye Hanlin hurried to mediate the atmosphere when he noticed that everyone was stunned.
It was an awkward dinner for all of them, especially for Shen Qi who sat next to Ye Moxuan. She felt that she had been thrown to the South Pole during the dinner, Ye Moxuan’s frigid attitude affecting her during the entire dinner.
“You’re too skinny. Eat more.” Han Xueyou suddenly picked up some vegetables and placed them in Shen Qi’s bowl. Shen Qi snapped back from her trance and smiled at Han Xueyou. “Thank you.”
Shen Qi then pondered and glanced at Ye Moxuan’s direction before picking up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks and put it in Ye Moxuan’s bowl. “You should eat more as well.”
Suddenly, everyone stopped in their tracks.
Even the maids by the side were shocked.
Everyone knew that Ye Moxuan was a clean freak!
He’d never eat anything that others had touched before!
How dare Shen Qi use her chopsticks laced with her saliva to grab food and put it into Ye Moxuan’s bowl?
Old Master Ye watched them as he narrowed his eyes.
Shen Qi could feel the sudden atmosphere change as well. Her eyes darted around quickly. Did I do something wrong? Why are they all looking at me as if I have committed a grave sin?
Ye Hanlin then smiled a little and tried to defuse the tense situation. “Shen Qi, you might not know but—”
Before he could continue, he was taken aback by what Ye Moxuan did next.
Ye Moxuan actually picked up the braised pork that Shen Qi gave him and ate it emotionlessly!
His small movement sent shockwaves across the scene, including Old Master Ye. All the maids by the side were stunned as well.
Young Master Ye actually… ate it?!
Shen Qi didn’t know what was wrong about it because she didn’t know Ye Moxuan’s habits. However, she was glad that Ye Moxuan actually ate what she gave him as her lips curled into a tiny smile, her eyes lighting up with joy.
After that, Ye Moxuan spoke up, “Come on, continue.”
Shen Qi was confused when she heard him. “Huh?”
Then, she caught on when Ye Moxuan glanced at his bowl before she took another piece of food and put it into his bowl. “You mean this?”
“Yeah,” Ye Moxuan replied before digging in.
“…” The maids’ jaws were almost unhinged. W-Was this still the Ye Moxuan they knew, the clean freak?!
Did something cure him of his germophobia?!
