After being pushed away by her, his slender figure lay down beside her as he whispered, “Are you a dog, biting people so often?”
Shen Qi returned to her senses, realizing that this was Ye Moxuan’s voice.
She immediately became alert now. After realizing what Ye Moxuan had done to her just now, her heart palpitated quickly. She bit her lower lip lightly and questioned him in the dark, “Why did you come to me? Don’t you have a bed?” With that, Shen Qi put her hand on the space next to her and felt the cold floor, confirming that he was indeed on the floor together with her and felt even more surprised.
Ye Moxuan sneered, “You’ve taken my blanket away. What am I supposed to cover myself with?”
Shen Qi retorted, “Well, even if that’s the case, you don’t have to come here and sleep on the floor with me.”
Ye Moxuan replied, “I will be wherever the blanket is.”
Shen Qi asked, “Then what were you doing just now?”
Even if he really did this because of the blanket, what about what he just did?
“It’s the obligation between husband and wife.”
Shen Qi was speechless upon hearing his reply.
Obligation between husband and wife?
While pondering about it, Ye Moxuan’s hand touched her waist, and then his tall body leaned over to her as his warm breath lingered around her.
Shen Qi became nervous involuntarily. She stopped his big, unruly hands and yelled firmly, “What are you going to do again? Go back to your own bed.”
“Have you ever seen a husband and wife sleeping in separate beds?” Ye Moxuan ignored her words and easily broke away from her restraint before he lifted the corner of her clothes and slipped his hands in.
She hesitated before asking, “Didn’t we sleep in separate beds before? Why the sudden change?”
As soon as she finished her question, the big hands that moved up from her waist came to a halt immediately. Then, Shen Qi felt that Ye Moxuan’s aura had become colder than before. “Sudden change?”
Shen Qi nodded.
Ye Moxuan’s tone became increasingly callous. “So, according to you, you don’t want to change how things were at all?”
Suddenly, Shen Qi didn’t know how to answer him. She wanted to tell him her thoughts, but she couldn’t say those words at this moment, so she stayed silent.
She heard Ye Moxuan’s breath in the darkness, and he seemed to be angry.
“So you don’t want to sleep with me? Is it a humiliation for you to sleep on the same bed with me?”
Shen Qi uttered, “I didn’t—”
“You’re just a woman who is in her second marriage. You have no right to feel sorry for yourself!”
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Moxuan’s overwhelming cold words attacked her again, making Shen Qi close her eyes helplessly.
Well, he is really more irritable than I’d thought.
The hands around Shen Qi’s waist were retracted, and he didn’t mess with her anymore, making her feel a little empty. She couldn’t see his figure and could only turn over silently. Originally, she wanted to sleep here alone with the blanket all to herself.
However, after Ye Moxuan slept here with her, she only had a small part of the blanket, and the rest was given to Ye Moxuan.
After that, she couldn’t fall asleep anymore.
The breathing behind her also heaved unevenly like hers, and it didn’t calm down even in the middle of the night.
Although they were in the same bed, they had different thoughts.
After Shen Qi got up when the morning had arrived, she looked at Ye Moxuan, who was still lying next to her, and asked in a low voice, “Are you getting up? Do you want me to help you?”
With that, Shen Qi suddenly froze.
How did Ye Moxuan crawl into my bed last night? It was obviously inconvenient for him to do so. Could it be that Xiao Su helped him after I fell asleep?
But Shen Qi had no time to think this through, for she had to figure out how to get Ye Moxuan into the wheelchair.
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her sharply.
“No need.”
Shen Qi hesitated before she asked, “Then how are you going to get up?”
“It has nothing to do with you.”
“Alright, then I’ll freshen up myself first.”
After that, Shen Qi completely ignored him. She got up and went directly to the bathroom.
Ye Moxuan sneered while listening to the sound of her brushing her teeth in the bathroom.
This woman really has no conscience!
After Shen Qi brushed her teeth and washed her face, she saw Ye Moxuan sitting up while using his hands to support his body weight. He then stared at her coldly with his hands crossed in front of his chest. “Come and help me.”
After a pause, Shen Qi walked toward him and pushed the wheelchair to Ye Moxuan. “Shall I help you up?”
With that, she slowly squatted down and wrapped Ye Moxuan’s arm around her shoulder to help him to get up.
He did not refuse her help either. Leaning on her strength, he slowly got up and suddenly asked, “Am I a disgrace to you?”
“Huh?” Shen Qi responded reflexively without realizing what he was talking about.
“Because I’m disabled?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi froze. She had finally helped him up, but now, she threw him a stunned look. The strength in her hand had disappeared, making both of them fall back to the blanket on the floor.
“Sorry about that.” Shen Qi’s face turned pale, and she quickly helped him up again. “Are you hurt?”
Ye Moxuan’s icy eyes made her nerves tighten. “Answer my question.”
“Huh?” Shen Qi returned to her senses, thinking about what he had just asked. He seemed to be asking her if she thought of him as a disgrace because he was disabled.
“Why would I think that way?” Shen Qi smiled in embarrassment.
But her hand was tightly clasped by Ye Moxuan. His tall body leaned forward slightly to her, and his breath had the effect of restraining her. “You look down on me because I’m a disabled person who can’t even stand up, don’t you? You don’t want to sleep in the same bed as me, nor do you want to sleep with me.”
Shen Qi froze at that moment.
Then she immediately widened her eyes in shock and looked at Ye Moxuan, who was just inches away from her.
W-What’s going on with him? He’s been acting so weird for the past two days.
He even asked if I think that he is a disgrace?
I mean, look at me now! Am I in any position to look down on others?
“Of course not!” Shen Qi shook her head and immediately denied his speculation. “I would never despise you.”
“Is that true?” Ye Moxuan looked at her inquisitively, as if he was checking whether she was telling the truth. Shen Qi took a deep breath and tilted her head back. “Don’t be like this. Let me help you up first.”
It took Shen Qi a lot of effort to get Ye Moxuan back onto the wheelchair. She was so tired that her face flushed pink and she panted.
After Shen Qi straightened her waist, she finally looked straight at Ye Moxuan.
“Ye Moxuan.”
“Hmph?”
“Actually, you don’t need to look down upon yourself even though you are wheelchair-bound. You are still you, and no one can change you. You are still the most unique person in the world. There will be no second person in the world who is like you, you know?”
Her eyes were clear, and she looked at him sincerely as she said those words.
It could be seen that she said it after giving it a lot of serious thought, not sounding malicious or condescending at all.
Ye Moxuan was moved by her, as if he had finally seen a ray of sunshine in the cold winter.
Ye Moxuan’s lips moved open, wanting to say something, but he heard her say, “No matter what, there will always be people who don’t care that you are in this state. In my opinion, you are already an outstanding person. So, Ye Moxuan, don’t look down on yourself.”
