Shen Qi was still struggling at first, but when she heard the teasing tone in Ye Moxuan’s words, she looked up instantly and saw the playful look in his eyes.
It’s obvious that he’s doing this on purpose!
Shen Qi bit her lower lip and said angrily, “I don’t need you to apply it for me. I’ll do it myself.”
She then quickened her footsteps and reached for the ointment.
However, Ye Moxuan immediately pulled her into his arms and encircled her waist with one arm. “Why are you in a hurry? I have touched every part of your body, haven’t I? Why do you feel shy now?”
Shen Qi’s eyes widened as she listened to his words. “You—”
“Hurry up. I have to shower after applying the ointment,” Ye moxuan urged. Realizing that she was still standing there, he smirked and whispered in her ear with his charming voice, “Or do you want me to take them off for you?”
Shen Qi glared at him angrily. “Let me go.”
Ye Moxuan wasn’t letting go, so Shen Qi didn’t have a choice but to beg him softly. “You are hugging me so tightly that it’s hurting me.”
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan’s eyes flickered and loosen his grip around her waist a little. “You should hurry up, and let me apply the ointment on you if you’re in pain.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he had impatiently reached out and unbuttoned her clothes before she could react.
Shen Qi was wearing a blue button-up blouse today. As he reached over to unbutton her clothes, she came to her senses and stopped his wandering hands. “I can really do it myself.”
Ye Moxuan was starting to get a little annoyed, being rejected by her so many times. He squinted his eyes dangerously and stared at her. “Pardon?”
Shen Qi kept mum.
Forget it. Just let him see then.
Finally, Shen Qi closed her eyes, and with a solemn face, she let him undo her clothes.
Her chest instantly felt cold when her clothes were removed. Looking at her solemn look and her trembling body, Ye Moxuan couldn’t help but smile.
He really wanted to help her apply the ointment. After all, he couldn’t do anything else when she had injuries all over her body.
Shen Qi waited with her eyes closed for a long time until she felt the touch of the cold ointment being carefully applied onto her wounds. She opened her eyes and saw Ye Moxuan lowering his head and carefully squeezing the ointment out onto his fingers. After that, he applied it on her wounds.
His actions were careful and earnest. His touch was as light as a feather as if he was afraid that he would hurt her.
‘Moxuan has feelings for you.’
Suddenly, Song An’s words during dinner rang in her ears. Shen Qi looked at the back of Ye Moxuan’s head and felt warm and fuzzy inside.
It’s okay if you don’t like me.
As long as you feel some affection for me, it will be enough.
As for the rest of it, leave it to me to fill it up.
She couldn’t help but grin when those thoughts flashed through her mind.
Ye Moxuan realized that the woman before him was abnormally quiet as he applied more ointment on her, and he could feel a pair of eyes burning holes in the back of his head. Their eyes met when he looked up.
Before he could see it clearly, Shen Qi looked away hurriedly like a deer caught in the headlights, trying to run away but was panicking too much.
“Were you looking at me just now?” Ye Moxuan asked indifferently.
Shen Qi shook her head nervously in denial, but Ye Moxuan obviously didn’t believe her. He grabbed her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. “I saw what you were doing. Are you still going to deny that you like me?”
“I…” Shen Qi’s lips trembled a little, but she couldn’t utter a single word.
I haven’t found the courage to confess to him. Will he laugh at me if I admit I like him?
If he really has some affection for me, will he start disliking me if he knows that I have feelings for him?
Thinking so, Shen Qi clenched her teeth and refused to say a word.
Ye Moxuan only wanted to hear an answer, but every time he mentioned this, this woman would show a look that screamed ‘I will never like you,’ or she would just remain silent.
“Never mind.” He let go of his hands and continued applying the ointment on her. “I won’t like you anyway,” he said in a cold voice.
Shen Qi was not mad because her heart was filled with happiness today.
There are still a couple of months to go. Maybe after some time, Ye Moxuan will grow to like me a little more.
After applying the ointment, Ye Moxuan threw the ointment at her. “It’s all done, so you can go to bed now.”
His tone was cold, and even the look he gave her seemed a little arrogant. Shen Qi caught the ointment and nodded. She was about to put on her clothes when Ye Moxuan stopped her and frowned. “You’ve worn this for the entire day. Are you not going to change? Get change before you go to bed.”
Hearing that, Shen Qi’s eyes sparkled brightly as if there were stars buried in them.
Ye Moxuan paused a little and said in a vicious tone, “I’m not worried about you. I just don’t want your wounds to worsen and affect your work. Understand?”
Shen Qi nodded, indicating that she understood, but her eyes were glimmering, and Ye Moxuan felt uncomfortable while looking at them.
After that, Shen Qi got up and got changed with the ointment in her hand. She then lay down and didn’t care about what Ye Moxuan was doing after that.
She had a dream that night.
In her dream, Ye Moxuan whispered a lot of sweet nothings in her ears, took the pink earrings out, and personally put them on her ears for her. He then leaned over, and his thin lips kissed her at the back of her ears.
“Shen Qi, you are mine.”
The Ye Moxuan in her dreams was so affectionate that he looked like a man who had been in love with her for years. His usual cold and sharp gazes were deep and gentle. Shen Qi thought she could die happily in that dream right then and there, but her arms started hurting.
She came to her senses and found Ye Moxuan cutting her arm with a knife. It was bleeding profusely, and Shen Qi covered her arm as she asked him why he had cut her.
Ye Moxuan was sneering at her, and his voice was extremely cold.
“How can a woman like you be worthy of my love?”
The knife sliced through her flesh again. Shen Qi screamed out of fear, opened her eyes, and sat up.
The sunlight entered her sight. Shen Qi looked around her and realized that it was already daytime. Everything that happened just now was just a dream.
Shen Qi sighed in relief and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand.
She was scared to death.
She thought it was real, but it was just a nightmare.
Ye Moxuan’s fierce expression in her dream really scared her because it felt too real.
She then went to the bathroom to wash up after she calmed down, and she looked at herself in the mirror.
I’m not pretty enough, and I look ordinary, compared to other women. Besides, I don’t like dressing myself up, and my body is not sexy enough. However, Ye Moxuan is very good looking. Is that dream trying to tell me something?
