C29 I'm Just His Assistant

Ye Moxuan's cold words destroyed the little bit of fantasy Shen Qi had. Her face paled, and she tightened her fingers silently.

"I... I wasn't thinking that."

"Is that so? Then who were you showing that face full of delight to? Shen Qi, I'm warning you, you can only be my assistant in front of others. "

Shen Qi bit her lip and didn't say anything.

"I only helped you because I don't want you to embarrass the Ye family, understand? "

The warm and gentle Ye Moxuan returned to how he was before, cold and intolerant of others.

No wonder his temperament changed so suddenly.

He said he bought the entire shopping mall for her, but, in reality, it was all for the Ye family's reputation.

To think she felt delighted over that.

Now that Ye Moxuan exposed her thoughts, Shen Qi didn't know what else to do other than feel embarrassed.

Xiao Su, who was following behind them, naturally heard their conversation. He shook his head disapprovingly at Ye Moxuan's words. After working for Ye Moxuan for so many years, he knew that Ye Moxuan was not someone who cared about the reputation of the Ye family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't do things his way no matter what others say.

However, his words seem to be a bit too harsh for a lady.

Seeing that Shen Qi's mood dropped and her steps slowed down, Xiao Su went forward and asked, "Miss Shen, would you like me to take over?"

Shen Qi reacted after hearing Xiao Su and shook her head. "No need. I can do it."

Then she remembered the contract and handed it to Ye Moxuan.

Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Are you trying to act up with me?"

"What?" Shen Qi asked, confused.

Seeing his mocking smile, she finally understood what he meant. She pursed her lips and suppressed her restless heart. Once her teary eyes returned to their normal, expressionless state, she replied, "I know you were only acting, but I still want to thank you. Now that it's over, of course I should return the contract to you."

She didn't believe that Ye Moxuan would buy the entire shopping mall to give it to her.

Even if he bought it for her, it didn't mean that she would want it.

He had always regarded her as a vain person. If she accepted the contract, in Ye Moxuan's eyes, his impression of Shen Qi would be nailed to an iron plate.

"I never take back things I give away."

Shen Qi stopped moving. She pursed her lips and firmly replied, "I will not take anything that doesn't belong to me."

Ye Moxuan fell silent. A moment later, a hint of ridicule appeared in his deep eyes, and he sneered, "Oh?"

"I know that in your eyes, I am a woman who will do anything to get what she wants. If I am such a person, you shouldn't give something like this to me. Otherwise, you would help me achieve my goal? "

"Woman, your appetite is that small?"

Shen Qi choked and bit her lip angrily. "Of course not!"

The more she argued with Ye Moxuan like this, the more realistic she seemed. She was much cuter than those who pretend they're not interested when they clearly are and then use all kinds of tricks surreptitiously to get what they want.

"Miss Shen, there is no reason to return what Young Master Ye gave you. You should keep it."

Seeing the two in a stalemate, Xiao Su could only step forward to persuade her.

Shen Qi was furious. She didn't want others to look down on her, especially Ye Moxuan. She clenched her fists and was about to open her mouth to say something.

"You thought I'm giving it to you for free? That dress costs 300,000 yuan. Did you think you don't need to pay it back?"

Shen Qi's lips parted slightly. What does that mean?

Shen Qi wanted to ask him, but they already reached the car, so she had to stop and get into the car first.

Once she got into the car, she wanted to continue where they left off, but Ye Moxuan closed his eyes, not giving her a chance.

"Miss Shen, don't bother Young Master Ye until we reach the destination." Xiao Su, who was in the passenger seat, reminded.

Shen Qi was speechless. What kind of quirk is this?!

The contract in her hand felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds. She looked toward Ye Moxuan helplessly and noticed dark circles under his eyes.

Maybe he didn't rest well.

Shen Qi suppressed the words she wanted to say and leaned on the window with the contract still in her hands.

After a while, she suddenly felt sleepy and leaned against the seat drowsily.

But just when she was about to fall asleep, the car stopped.

Shen Qi opened her eyes.

Xiao Su got out of the car and opened the door for Shen Qi.

"Miss Shen, please."

Shen Qi looked at him blankly and turned back to look at Ye Moxuan.

"Miss Shen, please quickly get out of the car. Young Master Ye doesn't have much time. There's only half an hour left before we need to leave for the banquet."

Shen Qi finally understood and nodded. She bent over and got out of the car.

Xiao Su brought her to a shop.

"Yo, a rare guest." A tall and slender woman dressed in fashionable clothing walked up to Xiao Su. She looked behind him and asked, "Where's Moxuan?"

"Young Master Ye is resting. Sister Jing, this is your mission today."

Xiao Su pushed Shen Qi toward Sister Jing.

Shen Qi asked, a bit flustered, "This is?"

Sister Jing narrowed her eyes and sized Shen Qi up. "Moxuan's woman? When did he-"

"Sister Jing, we have a banquet to attend in half an hour. She's attending as an assistant. Please hurry up."

"Fine, come with me."

Shen Qi didn't dare to dawdle and followed Sister Jing inside. Xiao Su raised his hand to look at his watch again, hoping that Sister Jing could work faster.

Shen Qi followed Sister Jing into a room and shut the door behind her. Shen Qi looked around and realized that the inside of the room was completely different from the outside.

It was a huge cloakroom that was sparkling everywhere.

"Tie up your hair and take off your clothes and shoes."

Shen Qi's eyes widened at her words. "But I just put on this dress."

Sister Jing looked back at her with a smile, "This dress suits you very well, but it's not suitable for your identity tonight. An assistant should look more sharp and professional."

Only then did Shen Qi understand.

"I understand."

She hid in a corner and obediently took the dress off. While she prepared, Sister Jing glanced at Shen Qi and saw her hiding in the corner. When Shen Qi looked up and met her gaze, Shen Qi froze, and her fair face turned red as a tomato.

Ha?

Where did Ye Moxuan find such an interesting woman?

She's blushing from taking off her clothes. How pure was this?

Sister Jing tidied up for a while and passed her a white suit.

"Put this on."

"Oh, okay." Shen Qi quickly reached her hand and took it from her. Then she back turned around and obediently put on the suit.

Sister Jing stared at her back for a while, then suddenly curled her lips and asked, "Are you in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Moxuan?"

Hearing this, Shen Qi stiffened, then bit her lip and shook her head.

"No? Is he wooing you?"

Shen Qi frowned and wanted to explain their relationship.

"Alright, I understand even without you telling me. This is the first time Moxuan brought a woman to my place."

"Sister Jing, you misunderstood. I am just his assistant."
