C28 An Undeserved Fantasy

Why?

Why did the man who was cold to her just seconds ago become so gentle?

Was she dreaming?

Or maybe...

"Miss Shen, please forgive me! I really didn't do it on purpose. You know it!" When the saleswoman saw Ye Moxuan asking Shen Qi, she realized everything depended on Shen Qi's decision. She immediately crawled to Shen Qi and clung to her leg, begging for forgiveness.

Shen Qi came back to her senses and lowered her head to look at her.

The saleswoman's face was full of tears. She sobbed and said, "I don't earn much working here. I still have a child at home who needs to go to school. Miss Shen, please be merciful and forgive me."

The saleswoman's situation reminded Shen Qi of how she was before. A low monthly salary and a family to raise. It was impossible to save up money.

She pursed her lips and bent over to help the saleswoman up." You can get up first. "

The saleswoman wiped her tears but refused to get up.

"Get up first. It was also my fault, so I can't blame it all on you."

"Really? Miss Shen, then I..."

Shen Qi pulled her up and whispered, "I know work is tough, and you didn't do it on purpose," When she said this, Shen Qi subconsciously looked at Ye Moxuan. Although Xiao Su said this mall now belonged to her, it's still Ye Moxuan's.

So Shen Qi wanted to ask him what he thought.

Ye Moxuan's eyes were as cold as ice, making him feel distant, just like his dark suit.

"Make your own decision."

Seeing that Ye Moxuan had no objections, Shen Qi whispered to her, "Let's forget about it this time."

Shen Qi looked at Ye Moxuan again. Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes, but the expression on his face did not change. It means he's fine with her decision, right?

"Miss Shen, you are really a good person. I thank you on behalf of my entire family!"

The saleswoman shed tears from excitement. She looked like she wanted to hug Shen Qi and called her benefactor.

This was the first time someone ever praised Shen Qi. She smiled awkwardly and said, "You don't need to thank me. You can go back to work."

"Okay. Then I will go and organize the clothes."

With that, the saleswoman quickly left.

Right after she left, a cold voice sounded.

"Is it worth risking your life to protect that man's child?"

Shen Qi was confused about what he was talking about, so it took her a while to finally realize what Ye Moxuan meant.

Ye Moxuan thought the child in her womb was Lin Jiang's.

After all, other than Shen Qi, anyone would think that the child belongs to Lin Jiang, her ex-husband.

They were married for two years, so it would make sense for her to be pregnant with his child.

Who would think that Shen Qi was actually carrying a stranger's child?

Shen Qi's lips moved, but she didn't refute.

Forget it.

What could she say? Say that the child was not Lin Jiang's? Then whose was it? It would only make her more embarrassed.

Shen Qi lowered her eyes.

"How stupid." Ye Moxuan raised his voice, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Then, without giving Shen Qi time to react, Ye Moxuan turned his wheelchair and left. When Shen Qi came back to her senses, Xiao Su had gone to push him. Shen Qi wanted to chase after them but found that she was still wearing the ripped dress. She quickly ran to the fitting room to change.

When she came out, the saleswoman brought over another eye-catching dress. "Miss Shen, you are going to attend a banquet, right? I think this dress will suit you very well."

"But I..." Shen Qi looked toward the door. Ye Moxuan and Xiao Su were gone. She couldn't help but feel a bit empty and disappointed. Did Ye Moxuan actually leave her behind this time?

"Miss Shen, don't worry. Young Master Ye treats you so well. He must be waiting for you outside. You should go try this dress first."

Under the saleswoman's persuasion, Shen Qi could only return to the fitting room and change into the dress.

When she came out, she still couldn't find Ye Moxuan anymore.

Disappointed, she lowered her head and chewed on her lip.

Shen Qi, what are you looking forward to?

He's only treating you a bit nicer, and you're starting to imagine things?

With her eyes still on the floor, Shen Qi slowly walked forward.

"What are you dawdling for?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. Shen Qi raised her head and looked toward the direction of it.

Ye Moxuan was sitting near the outermost seat of the coffee shop next door with a cup of coffee in front of him. Xiao Su stood behind him expressionlessly and said, "Miss Shen, Young Master Ye has been waiting for you for a long time. You really... "

Took your time!

But Xiao Su thought for a while and decided not to finish his sentence.

It's just that Ye Moxuan made some strange decision today, which completely exceeded Xiao Su's expectations.

When did Ye Moxuan ever have a woman by his side?

A month ago, Ye Moxuan suddenly called him and told him that he found himself a woman, but Xiao Su had no idea what happened. It wasn't until a month later when he found out that they slept together. But then, Old Master Ye forced him to marry another woman.

Which was Shen Qi.

Initially, he thought Shen Qi wouldn't stay in the Ye family for long. After all, it's almost difficult not to torture her to death with Ye Moxuan's personality.

But who would have thought that he would stand up for Shen Qi when she was being bullied!

Not only did he help her, but he was generous too!

He even bought the entire shopping mall for her. Fine, this shopping mall is nothing compared to the Ye family's business, but he did this for Shen Qi! Ye Moxuan never acknowledged Shen Qi as his wife.

Why was he so concerned about her?

Back in the store, the disappointment in Shen Qi's heart dissipated when she saw Ye Moxuan. Joy appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she quickly ran towards Ye Moxuan.

"You didn't leave?"

Anyone could hear the joy in Shen Qi's voice.

Ye Moxuan frowned. What's wrong with this woman?

Her attitude towards him right now was completely different from before. Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes, then sneered and didn't answer.

Shen Qi cleared her throat and offered, "Let me push you."

Seeing this, Xiao Su automatically stepped aside.

Shen Qi took over and pushed Ye Moxuan forward. Xiao Su followed expressionlessly.

Shen Qi pushed Ye Moxuan. The disappointment she felt earlier had completely vanished. Right now, she was in a happy mood, but it didn't last long.

"Ye Moxuan, why... why did you help me?"

She asked, hesitantly, because she wasn't sure what Ye Moxuan was thinking.

Ye Moxuan, who was in the wheelchair, stiffened. His deep eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously.

"Woman, what are you fantasizing about?"

His words were like a bucket of cold water that splashed over Shen Qi's head and washed away all of her fantasies.

Shen Qi froze. Before she could say anything, Ye Moxuan continued, "You thought I bought this mall for you because I have feelings for you?"

"I-"

"I, Ye Moxuan, will never be interested in a second-married woman who's protecting a scumbag's bastard. Understand?"
