C26 I Don't Want Anyone But You

"I don't want to have ginger. Mr. Ye, don't go to such great lengths to trouble yourself. You're a rich man with a high social standing. I won't make you cook ginger soup for me,"

Shen Mannge said indifferently, seemingly apathetic.

Ye Nanxuan's eyes darkened slightly.

Why did she really not want to have ginger?

His wife used to dislike ginger too!

Ye Nanxuan was suddenly elated at the implication of Catherine not liking ginger.

"It's okay. Just have some water if you don't like it. I won't force you."

With that, he went straight to the kitchen. Rummaging through the drawers, he found some ginger and started cutting it, regardless of what Shen Mannge had said.

Shen Mannge was stunned and stood rooted to the spot.

What was Ye Nanxuan trying to prove now?

Where was his haughtiness, his cold and mighty attitude?

"Hey, do you not understand human speech? I said already, that I won't have the ginger soup!'

Shen Mannge shouted, jumping down from the bed. Seeing Ye Nanxuan wandering around in her kitchen, she suddenly felt awkward. He looked out of place.

Such a domestic scene should never happen between them.

She didn't feel that Ye Nanxuan had fallen in love with her or anything. It was probably just that he suspected her. Maybe he even wanted to get close to her.

Shen Mannge was about to go up to Ye Nanxuan and grab the kitchen knife in his hand, but Ye Nanxuan suddenly turned around and pinned her against the kitchen door.

His hot breath suddenly fanned her face.

Shen Mannge's heart skipped a beat. She felt like she should struggle, but her body had frozen. Ye Nanxuan lifted her up and easily carried her back to the bed.

"Don't make me force you to stay in bed. It's for your good that you listen to me!"

After threatening Shen Mannge like this, Ye Nanxuan turned around and returned to the kitchen.

Shen Mannge was in a dazed state of mind.

She was not unfamiliar with Ye Nanxuan's bossy attitude, but she did not quite understand his way of doing things.

What was he trying to do?

Had he seen through her lies? Was he intentionally luring her into revealing her secret?

Shen Mannge had no idea. She pondered on this for a while. In a few minutes, Ye Nanxuan brought over the cooked ginger soup to her.

"Do you want to drink this yourself or do you want me to feed it to you?"

Ye Nanxuan passed over the cowl to Shen Mannge. The pungent smell made Shen Mannge wrinkle her nose and cringe back in disgust. However, Ye Nanxuan's hand followed suit. He took a step forward.

"I could use my mouth to feed you. Do you want me to try?"

Ye Nanxuan opened his mouth, but Shen Mannge almost choked on her saliva.

Was this man sick?

In the past, he had never behaved like this.

Could it be that this was how Ye Nanxuan really was with other women?

Thinking of this, Shen Mannge suddenly felt irrationally angry.

"Mr. Ye, it's easy for people to misunderstand you when you say such things. Please stay away from me. I can't afford to offend your girlfriend, and I don't want to become the talk of the town, here in Sea City!"

Seeing how angry Shen Mannge was, Ye Nanxuan's spirits soared high.

He smiled and said, "Chu Mengxi isn't my girlfriend, and Ye Rui isn't my son. I'm his father in name alone."

Shen Mannge was stunned once again.

If she had been someone else, and if she had not known about Ye Nanxuan and Chu Mengxi's history, she might actually have believed Ye Nanxuan's crap. But now, she despised Ye Nanxuan even more. How easily he lied!

She used to think that he had some dignity, at the very least. But to think that he was such a scumbag!

Why had she been so blind as to fall in love with him?

It was impossible for her to forget the time when she saw Ye Nanxuan accompany Chu Mengxi to her maternity test. Why should she believe him when he said that Ye Rui was not his son?

Shen Mannge suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling rise in her chest.

She snatched the bowl from Ye Nanxuan's hands and finished the ginger soup, all the while holding back her anger.

"Is this fine? Mr. Ye can leave. I need to rest now."

The sudden revulsion displayed by Shen Mannge made Ye Nanxuan a little confused.

He had just stated a fact. Why was she so angry?

Could it be because Chu Mengxi lived in the Ye Family?

Ye Nanxuan thought about it. After all these years of taking care of Ye Rui, he had allowed Chu Mengxi to live in Ye Family. Was that what was bothering her?

"Take some rest. I'll pick you up on Monday."

"Who said I'm going to work? I've already told you before, I asked the headquarters to send someone else in my place! Mr. Ye, do you not understand what I say?"

Shen Mannge's sounded annoyed.

Ye Nanxuan smiled. There was even a trace of love in his eyes.

"I don't want anyone but you."

Shen Mannge blinked her eyes, momentarily surprised. As soon as she tried to say something, Ye Nanxuan stood up and walked outside.

She did not know what Ye Nanxuan meant.

That ice cold man would not fall in love with a woman so quickly, so it was all just a part of the plan in his head.

He must be suspicious.

Shen Mannge kept telling herself that he was up to no good when her phone rang.

Seeing Shen Ziang's call, Shen Mannge's face bloomed with warmth.

"Darling, what's wrong?"

Shen Mannge said when she pressed the answer button. Her voice was so gentle that it was soothing to the ears. It made Ye Nanxuan stop in his tracks.

He turned his head slightly and saw that Shen Mannge's smile was big, as if she held the whole world in her hands. That content and happy expression on her face stung Ye Nanxuan.

Who was the person who just called her?

Could it be a man she was currently with? A lover? A husband!

Thinking about this, Ye Nanxuan's face turned as cold as ice. He looked like he could not wait to kill the man on the phone.
