Shen Qi looked at herself in the mirror thoughtfully.
It was probably because she saw the pair of earrings yesterday that she had a dream about them.
She quickly wiped the water off her face and turned to leave the bathroom.
Ye Moxuan’s bed was empty as he had already left long ago. Shen Qi glanced at the time and realized that it was already past working hours. In other words, she was actually running late.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi quickly changed her clothes and went directly to the company.
When she arrived, she happened to bump into Ye Moxuan and Xiao Su who were going to the conference room. As Shen Qi came out of the elevator, they were about to enter the room.
Upon seeing Shen Qi, Ye Moxuan frowned instantly, looking displeased. “Why aren’t you resting at home? Why did you come here?”
“Huh?” Shen Qi replied, confused.
“You are injured.” Ye Moxuan looked at her clothes, and his gaze fell on the many wounds on her neck. “Have you applied the ointment yet?”
After hearing his words, only then did Shen Qi realize something, and she reached out to touch her neck. “Not yet.”
“Go home, apply the ointment, and rest.”
Ding!
As the elevator was about to close, Shen Qi walked out quickly, and Xiao Su pushed Ye Moxuan in.
After Ye Moxuan entered, he instantly reached out and pulled Shen Qi in. “Xiao Su, send her home.”
Xiao Su froze. “But the meeting—”
“I’m fine.” Shen Qi cut him off quickly. “The injuries on my body are nothing major, and the ointment Aunty gave me is very effective. My injuries are almost completely healed. I can totally work.”
Ye Moxuan sneered when he heard her words and looked at her mockingly. “No matter how effective the ointment is, it is not something that has special healing powers. You were injured yesterday, you’re telling me that your injuries are almost completely healed? Are you an idiot, or do you think I’m the idiot?”
“B-But it really doesn’t hurt that much anymore.”
She looked at him timidly with a hint of grievance and earnestness in her clear eyes, making her look wronged and pitiful.
It was an unbearable sight for Ye Moxuan.
His brows furrowed deeper. What’s the matter with this woman? Is she actually acting pitiful?
“Damn it. Xiao Su, take her away quickly.”
Xiao Su was speechless upon hearing that.
“Second Young Lady, I’ll take you home now.”
Seeing that Ye Moxuan was no longer looking at her, Shen Qi couldn’t help herself and asked, “How about this? I am not going to work today, and I will go home later, but I want to see Yan first. Can I do that?”
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan finally raised his head to look at her. “Yan?”
“Well, she helped me out yesterday, so I have to see how she is doing now. Is that okay?” Shen Qi asked cautiously.
Ye Moxuan frowned deeply as he stared at her with his eyebrows furrowed.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, “All right. Just come back to me in half an hour.”
“But I thought you are going to have a meeting?”
Ye Moxuan’s eyes were deep and unpredictable. “Half an hour will be enough.”
“Then, I’ll go see Yan first and come back to you later.”
At that moment, the elevator closed, and when he arrived at the conference room, Shen Qi watched Ye Moxuan walk out of the elevator. Before leaving, he shot her a glance with his cold eyes as if he was reminding her to meet him in half an hour.
When Shen Qi went to find Yan, she was just sitting in front of the computer, looking bored. When she heard Shen Qi enter, she raised her head and saw her.
“Qi?”
She immediately got up and walked toward Shen Qi. However, when she tried to touch her, a pained expression appeared on her face when she raised her hand.
Shen Qi’s expression changed immediately as she stepped forward. “Are you all right?”
Yan smiled awkwardly. “I’m fine.”
“I’m so sorry. Where are you hurt?”
Yan said indifferently, “I accidentally sprained my arm. The doctor said I was fine, and it was going to hurt for a few days. Other than that, I’m okay.”
“Are you really okay?” Shen Qi looked at her worriedly. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault for dragging you into this mess, and yesterday afternoon—”
“You left with Young Master Ye yesterday, right? I knew about that, so you don’t have to apologize to me. Xiao Su told me that you were seriously injured.”
Shen Qi almost forgot that Xiao Su stood guard at the entrance of the emergency room.
Ye Linhan and Yan would definitely see him when they came back, and Yan would definitely ask him about the whereabouts of Shen Qi, judging from her character.
“I was okay with it.” Yan shrugged indifferently. Then, she smiled bitterly and continued, “However, Vice President Ye did not take it too well. When he came back and realized that you were not there, he looked devastated. It was almost as if he had lost his soul.”
Shen Qi replied, “Let’s not talk about this.”
“Love is very unreasonable indeed. Since you don’t like him, no matter how sad he is, you are still indifferent to it. I even feel sorry for him, but you don’t feel anything at all.”
Shen Qi lowered her head and looked at the ground thoughtfully.
“Being indifferent is the best way to respond, isn’t it? I’m his sister-in-law, not his girlfriend. If I responded to his feelings, wouldn’t it hurt him more?”
“Well, you have a point too. Let’s find a quiet place to talk. Come with me.”
Yan pulled Shen Qi into her office and closed the door gently.”Yesterday, I heard that the woman was fine, and both the mother and child were safe. Is that true?”
Shen Qi nodded. “Yeah.”
“Then, does this mean that this matter has nothing to do with us anymore?” Yan was more concerned about this. Yesterday, she was so angry that she hoped that the woman died on the spot. After all, she was the one who hurt them.
But now that she had calmed down, Yan realized the seriousness of the matter.
It was quite unexpected that both the mother and baby were fine. Yan thought that the baby would definitely not make it, seeing how much blood the woman had lost.
However, they made it in the end.
“Well, it should have nothing to do with us, but I think that she’s not going to give up that easily.” Recalling Lin Jiang’s reaction yesterday, maybe he would still try to stir things up.
“Huh, are they not going to let this go? They are all right after all!”
Shen Qi smiled indifferently. “We still don’t know whether they will try to make a mountain out of a molehill, but don’t you worry about this matter. I won’t let you get involved.”
“What are you talking about? I’m not just worried for myself—I’m also worried about you. After all, I was involved in this matter, so I won’t allow you to face this alone!”
“All right, all right. Don’t worry about it. I’m just here to see how serious your injuries are. I have to go back later.”
Yan wanted to gossip in an instant. “Go back to Young Master Ye? When he brought you back yesterday, you must be quite happy, huh?”
Speaking of what had happened yesterday, Shen Qi blushed a little. “Let’s not talk about yesterday’s affairs. I will be going back in a while.”
“Come on, don’t leave first! I have something to tell you. Didn’t Young Master Ye come along when we went to the mall that day? I went back to ask about the pair of stud earrings that you wore because I wanted to buy it and give it to you secretly, but do you know what the salesgirl told me? She said it had been bought by a man! Guess who he was?”
