With that, he directly hung up. Shen Qi could only hear the busy tone after that; she didn’t even have the time to say anything. After zoning out for a while, Shen Qi put down the phone and sighed.
Something smells fishy. Something is definitely wrong. When Xiao Su sent her back during the day, he looked as if he had something to tell her, yet he suddenly stopped. He was obviously hiding something from her, and he didn’t dare to tell her.
But Shen Qi had no idea what it was. On top of that, Ye Moxuan suddenly withdrew himself from the meeting and went somewhere else for an entire day. What did this mean?
It showed that there were more important things for him to deal with although she didn’t know what they were. However, humans were especially curious creatures.
Now that Shen Qi had decided to follow her heart, she especially hoped that she could find a place in Ye Moxuan’s life and slowly enter his inner world as she would naturally know more about his matters that way.
But she had no clues, and there was no way for her to find him.
Forget it. I’ll just go back and wait for him.
Let’s see when Xiao Su would bring him back. Then, Shen Qi went back to her room.
Lying on the soft couch, Shen Qi looked at the white ceiling and stretched out her hand to caress her lower abdomen subconsciously. “Baby, if Mommy wants to be with him, will he accept you?”
Shen Qi knew that the foetus in her stomach hadn’t formed yet, and it couldn’t hear what she was saying, but she still hoped that Ye Moxuan could accept this child.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi smiled slightly.
However, Ye Linhan’s gentle expression suddenly appeared in her mind, startling her. How could she think of him at this moment? She immediately shook her head.
Suddenly, she remembered the dream she had last night.
‘How can a woman like you be worthy of my love?’
An indifferent voice rang in her ears mercilessly. In that dream, Ye Moxuan’s expression was icy and indifferent to the point that it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the epitome of winter.
Suddenly, Shen Qi felt that she was being a little delusional. She was pregnant with another man’s child, yet she actually expected Ye Moxuan to accept this child? Was it even possible?
Wishful thinking… All of this is just wishful thinking.
Shen Qi’s mood sank. She got up, returned to her bed, and lay down without being able to fall asleep.
It wasn’t until dawn that Shen Qi had finally fallen asleep.
When she woke up again, it was almost noon. Shen Qi turned over and saw that the sun was shining brightly outside the window. Then, she got up and glanced at her phone. It was already ten o’clock in the morning, and her phone was just lying there quietly, undisturbed.
Xiao Su hadn’t called her back yet.
Shen Qi looked around again and found that the room was still empty. Ye Moxuan hasn’t returned yet?
After thinking about it, Shen Qi called Xiao Su again.
After the call went through, Xiao Su’s voice sounded tired.
“Hello, Second Young Lady.”
“Xiao Su, how is Ye Moxuan? Did you find him?”
“Young Master Ye is at the company now.”
Hearing that he was in the company, Shen Qi’s worried heart finally calmed down. She heard herself breathe a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good.”
Xiao Su, who was on the other end, asked hesitantly, “Second Young Lady, did you wait for Young Master Ye to return all night?”
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment before immediately recovering to her senses, and she smiled slightly. “Of course not. I’m just asking about this casually. Since he is all right, I’ll hang up now.”
With that, Shen Qi immediately ended the call before Xiao Su could say anything else.
After ending the call Shen Qi looked at the phone in a daze and went back to bed.
What am I thinking? He can go wherever he wants to. I don’t have a say in this, and I am not qualified to even do so.
Shen Qi simply lay back onto the bed and stared at the ceiling blankly.
Since Ye Moxuan didn’t allow her to go to work, she simply stayed in the room, not wanting to go anywhere.
Moreover, she felt annoyed since she waited for him all night. Right now, she really didn’t want to see Ye Moxuan at all.
After a long time, her phone rang.
Startled by the sudden sound, Shen Qi quickly took out her cell phone, thinking that Ye Moxuan had called her. When she saw Han Xueyou’s name was displayed on the screen, she was not disappointed. Instead, she felt excited.
“Xueyou?”
She wanted to contact her at first, but she didn’t know how to talk to her. Now that Han Xueyou came to her, she could also tell Han Xueyou about her thoughts.
“Qi.”
After so many days of not hearing her voice, Han Xueyou sounded a little tired, and her voice was hoarse as if she had been crying.
Shen Qi was stunned for a moment and asked, “What’s wrong with your voice?”
“N-Nothing.” Han Xueyou sounded flustered before chuckling softly. “Qi, it seems that we have been drifting apart recently. You and Yan—”
Now that she mentioned this, Shen Qi also felt the same way. It seemed that after their disagreement, the relationship between the two of them had been relatively distant. They were not as close as they used to be anymore.
“My relationship with her does not hinder us from being friends,” Shen Qi explained softly.
“But she seems to be quite hostile to me. If she affects our friendship, will you continue to be friends with her?”
“I…” Shen Qi paused, not expecting Han Xueyou to say this out loud. Is that why she called me?
When Shen Qi got so confused that she didn’t know how to answer her, Han Xueyou broke the silence again.
“Forget it. I didn’t come to you today to ask about this. I just want to ask you out to chat about stuff. And I’m not petty—I know that I am definitely not the only friend you have. There must be others, and I won’t blame you for that.”
Hearing this, Shen Qi finally flashed a smile.
“That’s great, Xueyou. As long as you don’t mind. I’m still thinking about this before.”
“Let’s meet at the dessert store where we met, okay?”
Han Xueyou liked desserts. Although Shen Qi didn’t like them, she didn’t think there was any problem with it, so she nodded. “Sure, as long as you’re happy. I’ll change and head right over.”
“All right.”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qi quickly got up to change and went out to meet Han Xueyou.
After arriving at the dessert store, Shen Qi entered the shop and saw Han Xueyou sitting by the window. She wore a pink dress today with her hair beautifully curled, and she seemed to have just dyed her hair.
“Qi, I’m over here.”
Han Xueyou waved at her as Shen Qi walked up to her and sat down. “Xueyou, did you do your hair?”
As soon as they sat down, the waiter came over and handed them the menu. Shen Qi still had a smile on her face, but when she saw Han Xueyou turn to take the menu, she froze.
Because when Han Xueyou turned sideways, the pair of stud earrings that she was wearing was revealed.
Han Xueyou had always loved dressing up, so Shen Qi wouldn’t be surprised if she wore earrings.
However, the ones that were on her ears were coincidentally the same pair Shen Qi saw in the box that belonged to Ye Moxuan—the pink stud earrings.
