C25 You're Not Allowed to Talk About Him Like That!

The pair of warm and strong hands firmly supported Shen Qi's body, preventing her from falling.

The crowd seemed to have quiet down. Shen Qi's face was terrifyingly pale, but her eyes slowly regained their vision.

A pair of long and straight legs entered Shen Qi's vision. She slowly shifted her gaze upwards, and only then did she see the person who supported her.

The man's sharp eyes exuded coldness, his thin lips pursed tightly, showing no emotions. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, his body released an intense aura that attacked everyone around him.

The onlookers took a couple of steps back after feeling the pressure from Ye Moxuan. A look of surprise appeared on their faces when they saw him arrive.

Who is he?!

Shen Qi didn't have much strength left in her body. She sat on Ye Moxuan's lap while he held onto her. She raised her head and looked at Ye Moxuan blankly.

"You... you didn't leave?"

She thought he left because she was too ugly in the dresses and embarrassed him. Who knew he was still here?

"Are you not going to get up?" Ye Moxuan asked in a low voice, his black eyes locked onto hers.

After he reminded her, Shen Qi finally came back to her senses. She tried to stand up but then realized the rip on the dress had gotten bigger. The embellishment on the skirt of the dress is heavy. If she stood up, the dress would slide down and fall off.

"No, I can't."

Ye Moxuan frowned and looked at her in dissatisfaction.

Shen Qi bit her lip and said in embarrassment, "The dress will fall off."

Ye Moxuan narrowed his long eyes and looked at her.

Shen Qi felt really useless. Why is she so embarrassing at a time like this? What if Ye Moxuan doesn't want to have anything to do with her anymore and leave?

While she was worrying, Ye Moxuan covered her body with his suit jacket. Surprised, Shen Qi looked up, and Ye Moxuan caught sight of the fright in her eyes.

"You-"

"Aren't you going to get up?"

Shen Qi quickly tugged the suit jacket on her tighter and got up with Ye Moxuan's help.

His hand was large and warm. The temperature of his palm, for some reason, made Shen Qi feel a warmth in her heart, but after she stood up, Ye Moxuan retracted his hand with a cold expression. Shen Qi suddenly felt empty and disappointed.

The scent on Ye Moxuan's jacket enveloped her. The worry and nervousness she felt earlier slowly started to disappear. At this moment, she felt like she finally had someone she can rely on.

This was the first time in her life where she felt she was being protected.

"Who pushed her?"

Ye Moxuan's voice was cold like river water cutting through a rock.

The saleswoman returned from making the phone call. Her eyes widened in fear when she saw that Ye Moxuan came back and realized that the situation had changed. At first, her attitude toward Shen Qi was alright because she knew this man in a wheelchair is not someone to be trifled with, but she was sure he had left when Shen Qi came out in the last dress. She thought the man left Shen Qi behind because he thought she was hopeless.

Why did he suddenly return? What's going on?

The saleswoman racked her brains trying to figure out what to do now, but when she remembered what happened when he was gone, she didn't dare say a word.

"I'll ask again. Who pushed her?"

This time, there was a strong presence in Ye Moxuan's cold voice.

The onlookers were shocked. This man in a wheelchair, how could he have a presence strong enough to make people shiver?

When one of the onlookers who accused Shen Qi saw this, afraid of being implicated, he quickly pointed at the saleswoman and shouted, "It's none of our business. That saleswoman was shouting and accusing her. We just came to watch."

"That's right, that's right. This saleswoman said that this lady intentionally damaged the dress and had already called the police."

The arrogant saleswoman was terrified and didn't dare to speak, but after all the onlookers betrayed her, she immediately denied it and shook her head in panic. She explained, "That's not it. The young lady tripped and fell and ripped the dress in the process. It's none of my business."

Shen Qi lowered her eyes. It's true that she fell and ripped the dress. It was no one else's fault.

"Is that so?" Ye Moxuan sneered in disdain and raised his voice. "Did she really fall herself?"

The saleswoman shivered from the pressure coming from Ye Moxuan's body. Her lips moved but didn't dare to speak.

Shi Qinbao was unsatisfied that the situation turned in Shen Qi's favor. Just what happened? Who's the man in the wheelchair? He's just a cripple. What are they thinking?

Shi Qinbao could not help but say, "Shen Qi, you fell and ruined the dress. Now that someone came out to support you, you think you can push the blame on someone else? No wonder Lin Jiang dumped you. Not only are you vain, but you're irresponsible too."

Hearing what she said, Ye Moxuan caught on to something. His eyes suddenly turned cold as he swept his gaze towards Shi Qinbao.

Lin Jiang, who was hugging Shi Qinbao, felt the pressure and the air around him turn cold. When he looked up, he met the man's sharp eyes. Frightened, he pulled Shi Qinbao closer to him and whispered, "Bao'er, why don't we leave. Just ignore them."

"No way." Shi Qinbao clung to his arm. She pouted and said, "Lin Jiang, if we leave, no one will stand up for that saleswoman. It clearly wasn't her fault. Shen Qi was the one who ripped the dress. That dress is 300,000 yuan. Shen Qi and that man will try to argue their way out of taking responsibility."

Ever since Lin Jiang won five million yuan from the lottery, Shi Qinbao felt like she had reached the peak of her life. They are now rich people!

Shi Qinbao's horizons were narrow. She became defiant because Lin Jiang dumped Shen Qi, his original wife, for her. Now that she's pregnant, people would let her have her way, so she slowly became more arrogant and conceited.

Shi Qinbao looked at the man in the wheelchair and snorted. "Seeing that you're sitting in a wheelchair, I bet you don't even have a job, right? Let me tell you, this dress is no ordinary dress. It's worth 300,000 yuan. Before you stand up for her, you have to consider whether you have that ability. "

Shi Qinbao sighed and continued, "Is just anyone allowed into this store nowadays? Do you really think you're rich if you pretend to be rich? Shen Qi, I thought you would find a good man after you leave Lin Jiang, but instead, you found yourself a cripple. Is your taste really that bad?"

Ye Moxuan hated people calling him a cripple.

This topic was taboo in the Ye family. No one dared to speak about it.

But Shi Qinbao openly said it in public!

Ye Moxuan's eyes were fuming with anger. Xiao Su knew he was about to flare up, but just as he was about to step forward to stop her...

"You're not allowed to talk about him like that!"
