“I-In love… with Ye Moxuan?” Shen Qi was stumped by the question, and her eyes seemed glazed over while she pondered over that question. “No, I am not in love with him at all!” she exclaimed while shaking her head.
“Haha, you’re lying!” Yan countered promptly while giggling. “You are so in love with him!”
“No! I am not in love with him!” Shen Qi retorted with a pout. She seemed adamant on not admitting her feelings for Ye Moxuan.
Despite being drunk, subconsciously, she wanted the fact that she was in love with Ye Moxuan to remain her very own secret because she felt that it was a secret she had to hide for the rest of her life, and nobody should know about it.
After all, from others’ perspectives, falling in love with Ye Moxuan was a ridiculous thing.
That’s because I have nothing at all, and I am not good enough. I am not compatible with someone of such a significant stature as Ye Moxuan. I am a person with a tainted life, and it is a ridiculous joke for me to be in love with him.
Shen Qi burst out laughing when she thought of that, and her eyes were brimming with tears. Under the lights, the tears in her eyes looked like a vast, rippling sea.
“Ah, I think I saw the sea!” Yan cried aloud in surprise before reaching out for Shen Qi.
She grabbed onto Shen Qi’s hair by accident, making her cry out in pain. “Hey, you grabbed my hair.”
“Really? I’m sorry.” Yan apologized while backing off. “But I really saw the sea just now… Burp.”
Yan belched drunkenly again while speaking to Shen Qi.
Shen Qi rubbed her scalp where Yan yanked her hair earlier in dismay. After that, Shen Qi slumped onto the table, and her mind conjured Ye Moxuan’s handsome face again.
He is so annoying. Why is he here bothering me at this hour? I already told him that I want a divorce, so why am I still missing him?
Could it be possible… that I love him more than I hate him?
Ring-ring-ring—
Her mobile phone on the table started ringing suddenly, but no one answered the phone call for a long time because they were both too drunk. They were clinking glasses while the phone rang and stopped intermittently.
“Argh! It’s so noisy!” Yan complained loudly before smacking the beer bottle on the table violently. Then, she stood up to answer the phone call. “Who are you?”
She was fuming!
On the other end of the call, Ye Moxuan frowned when he heard her tone.
This is clearly not Shen Qi’s voice. He questioned her in a frosty tone, “Who are you?”
“Huh?” Yan thought that the voice sounded familiar. “How is that your business? Didn’t you phone me? Burp! How dare you have the audacity to ask who I am? I’ll smack you!”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless by her reaction.
After a short pause, the cold and detached voice rang again. “Are you Yan?”
“Hey, how did you know my name?”
“Where is Shen Qi?”
“Shen Qi… Who is Shen Qi?” Yan asked before burping loudly again. She didn’t make sense, and she was slurring her words at that point.
At that moment, Ye Moxuan was sure that Yan was drunk, and that she was spouting nonsense while using Shen Qi’s phone. Could Shen Qi be…
Ye Moxuan’s aura turned icy-cold when he came to that conclusion, and his voice hardened immediately. “Tell me where she is right now. Otherwise… you will not receive your year-end bonus.”
Yan loved money, and despite being horribly drunk, she was jolted back to reality at the mention of money.
“She is with me!” Yan stood up abruptly before glancing toward Shen Qi. “Shen Qi… is at my house!”
After twenty minutes.
Yan crouched down at her entrance for the longest time before opening the door. She lost her balance the moment she pushed open the door, and she plunged forward. Ye Moxuan moved swiftly, and he dodged to the side without batting an eyelid.
Seeing as Yan was about to fall to the ground, Xiao Su, who was standing at the side, reached out hastily to catch her.
The moment he caught her, Yan reached out toward him like an octopus while hooking her arms behind his neck. “Eh? How did you guys arrive so quickly? Your body feels so fit. Can I touch your abs?”
Yan was so drunk that she started flirting with Xiao Su, who was blushing in embarrassment. He glanced at Ye Moxuan reflexively before urging Yan in a panic, “Y-You had better get off me.”
After that, he reached out and tried to pry Yan off himself.
“No! Your body feels so warm. I want to keep hugging you, hehe!” Yan kept brushing against Xiao Su like a kid, and her lips landed on his neck while she rubbed her alcoholic scent all over him.
Ye Moxuan seemed indifferent because the scene before him did not faze him. He then pursed his lips before rolling his wheelchair into the house with a stern expression.
He scowled deeply the moment he entered the house because a pungent alcoholic smell came wafting at him. Judging by the intensity of the stench, it was not difficult to guess how much these two women had had to drink.
Damn it!
Doesn’t she know how weak her body is? Why didn’t she take the doctor’s advice seriously? Why did she drink alcohol over here?
She has a death wish!
Ye Moxuan rolled past the entrance to enter the inner part of the living room in a fury. He immediately caught sight of Shen Qi, who was slumped over the sofa with a pale face, looking as if she was in pain.
There were several liquor bottles rolling on the floor as well as several barbequed food items, which looked like their supper. The house was in a mess.
For a person like Ye Moxuan, who was a cleanliness freak, he would have left immediately if he had encountered such a scene in the past.
However, it was different today because that woman was lying in a pile of rubbish. In fact, he came all the way here specifically for this woman, and so he would have to retrieve her from this pile of mess before leaving the place.
But the stench in this house really takes some getting used to.
Ye Moxuan held his breath before rolling his wheelchair toward Shen Qi. If one were to observe him closely, the wheels of his wheelchair managed to avoid almost all the trash on the floor when he made his way to her. In the end, he stopped in front of the couch while staring coldly at her.
“Uh.”
Shen Qi had a hand over her belly while moaning, and it appeared as if she was in a lot of pain.
Ye Moxuan scowled because he was furious to see her in this state. This woman does not even treat her body well. Why should I save her repeatedly?
At the thought of that, he turned the wheelchair around, ready to leave.
Just when he turned around, he heard Shen Qi moaning in pain again. Ye Moxuan’s heart clenched in pain, and he turned around to pick her up.
“Ah!”
Shen Qi cried out in shock as she was lifted up suddenly. She struggled wildly before jumping down, and in the end, she pushed one of the bottles off the table by accident. The liquor bottle smashed onto the floor and broke into pieces instantly with a loud crash.
Shen Qi, who was still in the haze of drunkenness, was unaware of her surroundings, and so she continued to move forward and was about to step on one of the shattered glass pieces.
In that instant, a tall figure darted toward her and picked her up straight away. Then, the figure held her tightly around her waist to prevent her from struggling and escaping.
Outside of the door, Xiao Su finally got out of Yan’s clutches before dashing in, and he witnessed this scene the moment he entered the house. On the other side, Yan seemed to be staring vaguely at a tall and well-built figure, who was standing up, and that figure looked like…
“W-What is this?” Yan asked with her mouth opened wide in shock.
