“You got a problem with that?” Ye Moxuan glanced at her. Shen Qi did not dare to say that there was a problem, of course. She just felt quite strange that Ye Moxuan actually wanted to go with them. Based on her understanding of his personality, she thought he would force her to reschedule with Yan on another day and ask her to get into the car.
I didn’t expect that… Anyway, it was really a surprise. By sitting in the co-driver seat, Yan thought she was being considerate by leaving the backseat for the two of them. However, to her surprise, neither of them said anything until they reached the destination. During this period, Yan secretly looked back and saw that Ye Moxuan had an indifferent expression on his face, and his eyes were as cold as ice; sitting not far from him, Shen Qi also looked emotionless.
If she didn’t know that they were husband and wife, Yan would have thought that they were strangers. It was quite awkward indeed. Seems like it’s true when Qi said that there is no affection between them, but…
Yan glanced at Shen Qi from the corner of her eyes. So, according to Shen Qi, she’s in a one-sided love. It must be difficult to be in love with such an emotionless rock. At that instant, Yan felt very sorry for Shen Qi.
The atmosphere in the car became extremely awkward and silent. When they reached the destination, Yan hurriedly said, “Just stop in front. We’ll get in from there.”
Xiao Su followed her instructions and stopped at the designated intersection. Yan then smiled and thanked him before unfastening her seat belt. Then, she opened the car door and waited by the side of the car obediently.
Just when Shen Qi also prepared to get up after seeing her getting out of the car, she heard Ye Moxuan say, “Push me out too.”
Shen Qi was confused by his instruction.
Ye Moxuan glanced at her. “I’m going with you.”
Shen Qi was surprised by this. “Are you going shopping with us?”
Ye Moxuan paused before he asked, dissatisfied, “Didn’t I tell you that just now?”
“Alright, then,” Shen Qi replied in resignation and pushed his wheelchair forward.
When Yan saw Shen Qi push Ye Moxuan out of the car, she looked as if she had already known that was going to happen as she secretly winked at Shen Qi.
Xiao Su lowered the car window. “Young Master Ye, I’m going to find a place to park. I will catch up with you later.”
“Okay,” Ye Moxuan answered indifferently.
When Xiao Su drove away to find a parking spot, Yan walked to Shen Qi’s side and plucked up her courage to ask, “Young Master Ye, it might be a little boring to shop with women, you know. Are you sure you want to join us?”
“Boring?” Ye Moxuan shot a sideway glance at her, and he suddenly thought of something. “Were you the one who was at the company anniversary event?”
Hearing that, an elated and surprised look appeared on Yan’s face suddenly as she replied obsequiously, “Young Master Ye, you still remember me? Oh, but you don’t have to thank me—what happened last time was nothing much. By the way, Young Master Ye, I am Yan, from the finance department. The head of the finance department is my father.”
Shen Qi, who was standing beside them, was stunned when she heard that.
Ye Moxuan sneered internally, What’s the matter with this woman? Forget about Han Xueyou—this woman has such wishful thoughts. When have I ever said that I wanted to thank her?
Thinking of this, Ye Moxuan snorted coldly. “I thought you said that I don’t have to thank you, yet you let me know about your family background immediately. What’s up with that?”
Yan felt a little embarrassed immediately. Even Shen Qi felt awkward when she heard their conversation. Just when she just wanted to speak up for Yan, Ye Moxuan uttered, “I will give you a raise next month.”
Yan almost jumped up and down with excitement when she heard this, but because of the crowd here, she managed to hold herself back. “Thank you, Young Master Ye! You are the best! I am Yan, from the finance department. Don’t remember my name wrongly!”
Shen Qi was dumbfounded for a while before she asked, “Didn’t you just say that there’s no need to thank you specifically?”
Hearing that, Yan bit her lips. “Well, you don’t have to thank me specifically, but Young Master Ye is the president of Ye Group, so it’s nothing to him to raise my salary. Am I right, Young Master Ye?”
She explained herself with a sycophantic expression.
Shen Qi was dumbfounded when she heard that, looking incredulous.
It was totally unexpected that Yan had such a side to her. Why haven’t I seen this before?
Initially, Ye Moxuan was too lazy to pay attention to her. But when he looked sideways, he saw the expression on Shen Qi’s face and suddenly found it quite interesting. A pleasant look was shown in his dark eyes as he curled his thin lips into a slight smile. “Yes.”
Shen Qi was speechless for a short moment as she pushed Ye Moxuan into the mall with Yan beside her.
Xiao Su, who went to park the car, quickly caught up to them.
“Assistant Xiao is here. I’ll go talk to him.”
With that, Yan ran to Xiao Su’s direction and stood beside him, leaving Shen Qi and Ye Moxuan alone.
Actually, Yan was the one who wanted to shop today, and Shen Qi was just accompanying her. Now that she went and walked together behind them with Xiao Su, Shen Qi didn’t know where to go, so she could only push Ye Moxuan aimlessly. Along the way, she asked, ” Do you have any places you want to go?”
“Huh?” Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows. “Weren’t you the one who wanted to go shopping?”
Shen Qi explained, “It’s Yan who wanted to go shopping. I—”
“You are also a woman, so just buy whatever you like.”
Shen Qi didn’t know what to reply when she heard his words.
“Now that I’m here, I can buy anything for you.”
Shen Qi felt bitter about this, but she said calmly, “That’s fine. I don’t need anything right now.”
It was true that she really didn’t need anything. Ye Moxuan had already prepared a lot of clothes and jewelry for her, so she really didn’t know what else to buy when she went shopping.
Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes in surprise. “Do you really have everything you need, or you don’t dare to spend money with me beside you because you’re afraid that I will despise you for your vanity?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi smiled faintly. “Don’t you always think of me this way?”
The question left Ye Moxuan stunned. After a while, he asked in a nasty tone, “Well, I might have had a change of mind. Or do you think that I’ll be stuck in this way forever?”
“I’m the one who should ask you this question, right?”
When the two of them were bickering, Yan suddenly shouted from behind, “Qi, Young Master Ye, come here quick.”
Shen Qi looked back subconsciously and saw Yan enter a jewelry store. She could only push Ye Moxuan over and then follow her into the store.
Yan was a bit afraid of Ye Moxuan at first, but after he promised her a pay raise, she suddenly felt that Ye Moxuan’s deep and cold expression looked particularly amiable. On top of that, she was a very friendly person who could get along with people fairly easily and quickly adapt to the current situation. Hence, since she stepped into the store, she quickly pulled Shen Qi over to take a look at the items with her.
It was a little inconvenient for Shen Qi because she had to push Ye Moxuan’s wheelchair, but she couldn’t stay put with Yan keep calling her to take a look.
“Does this pair of earrings look good?”
Shen Qi followed Yan’s fingers and looked in the direction she was pointing. It was a pair of pink diamond earrings that reflected the light around it, looking round and lovely, and it made people fall in love with it immediately after laying their eyes on it. Shen Qi, who was quite unwilling to shop initially, also took a second glance at the earrings. Then, she smiled and nodded. “It looks pretty indeed.”
The pink earrings match Yan’s mischievous character indeed.
“Try it on.” Unexpectedly, Yan asked the salesgirl to take out the pair of earrings and brought it in front of Shen Qi.
