C30 Words Not Agreeing With the Heart

Shen Qi did not forget what Ye Moxuan told her.

She will only be his assistant in front of others, but she won't be his wife even when they are back at the Ye family.

Shen Qi knew her place.

This marriage was just a cover so they can get what they need.

"Assistant?" Sister Jing repeated, ruminating over her title, before sighing. "If you say you are an assistant, then you are an assistant. Come sit here after you have changed your clothes."

Shen Qi walked over and sat down on the chair. Then, Sister Jing started to comb her hair.

"I need to style my hair?"

"Of course. You can't go like this."

Sister Jing was quick. Once she finished combing Shen Qi's hair, she grabbed a pair of scissors and gave Shen Qi long bangs.

Shen Qi had soft, healthy hair. The bangs stayed by both sides of her cheeks, framing her face. Sister Jing curled the ends of her hair and then fluffed it out.

After that, she put on makeup.

"Done."

Shen Qi almost fell asleep sitting there while Sister Jing messed with her hair and face. She jumped and opened her eyes when Sister Jing snapped her fingers in front of her.

In the mirror were a woman with fair skin, glamorous long hair, and bright red lips.

Shen Qi was shocked by her new look.

"How is it? Did your beauty scare you?" Sister Jing leaned on the table with one hand, smiling.

Shen Qi leaned forward and stared at herself in the mirror. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't feel real.

Was this really her?

Did she really look this good?

"There's no need to doubt it. That's you. Your facial features are delicately outlined, and your skin is very healthy. It's just that your skin is a bit dry, probably because you neglect to take care of it. Here, take this bottle of hydrating mist with you. Spray some when your skin starts to feel dry. You should buy some masks and beauty products to preserve your skin."

Shen Qi nodded while Sister Jing lectured her and stuttered, "O-okay."

"You look beautiful. Moxuan will definitely like it."

Hearing someone praise her looks for the first time in her life, Shen Qi didn't know what to do or say.

Right then, Xiao Su started knocking on the door, urging them to hurry. Sister Jing opened the door and pulled Shen Qi out with her.

When Xiao Su saw Shen Qi, he was stunned. He pointed at her, and his lips trembled for a long while, not knowing what to say, but in the end, he calmed down and said, "Young Master Ye has woken up. Miss Shen, let's go."

"Okay." Shen Qi began to feel nervous after hearing that Ye Moxuan woke up.

Sister Jing walked to the car with her. The door was open, and Ye Moxuan was sitting inside. His laptop was opened on his lap, and his long fingers were flying across the keyboard. His Bluetooth earpiece was in his ear, and he seemed to be working. His thin lips moved occasionally.

"Young Master Ye, she's done." Xiao Su stepped forward and whispered.

Ye Moxuan ignored him and said something to the man on his laptop. Once he finished, he closed his laptop and looked at them coldly.

Ye Moxuan glanced at them inadvertently, but when his eyes swept across Shen Qi, a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He quickly hid it, but Sister Jing still noticed. She wrapped her arms around Shen Qi's shoulders and asked, "How is it? Isn't she beautiful?"

Shen Qi bit her lip nervously.

Her lips were light, so Sister Jing smeared a layer of peach-colored lip gloss over her healthy, moist lips. Now that she was biting them, her pink lips seemed to have magical powers, preventing Ye Moxuan from removing his gaze.

Shen Qi was indeed prettier after dressing up. The exquisite suit outlined her figure. Her waist was thin, her chest was tall, and she had a pair of long and slender legs. She wore a pair of high heels, making her more attractive and sexy.

Now, she had a temperament, but there still seemed to be something missing.

Ye Moxuan's gaze shifted upwards, paused when it reached her pink lips, and then continued up to her eyes.

Ye Moxuan figured out what she lacked.

Aura!

Her eyes were always timid and weak whenever she looked at him, like an abandoned kitten that couldn't find its owner. How could a kitten with a hazy future follow him to the banquet?

When he thought of this, Ye Moxuan's curled his thin lips, his smile somewhat mocking.

"Passable."

Shen Qi was shocked when she saw herself in the mirror, yet that was all Ye Moxuan had to say?

After Ye Moxuan finished criticizing Shen Qi, he began to criticize Sister Jing. "What kind of eyesight do you have? She is not suitable for this makeup."

Sister Jing blanked and then questioned when she came back to her senses, "Not suitable? How is this possible? She-"

"I don't have much time. I don't have time to listen to your explanation. Get in the car." Ye Moxuan retracted his gaze and looked forward with a cold expression, ignoring them. It was as if he thought of himself as a king, looking down upon everyone and everything.

His attitude angered Shen Qi. Why did he have to deny others' hard work like that? Was it that difficult to give a small compliment?

The timidity in Shen Qi's eyes suddenly disappeared. She tightened her fingers into a fist and bit her lip, and glared at Ye Moxuan.

Sister Jing glanced at Shen Qi and noticed that her beautiful eyes were filled with anger. But her anger made her face glow, and her eyes looked like flickering lights.

Sister Jing looked at her and then looked at Ye Moxuan. Suddenly, she thought of something and laughed.

She was stunned. Ye Moxuan wasn't a simple person.

"Alright, quickly get in the car," Sister Jing said while patting Shen Qi's shoulder.

"Sister Jing, then I will leave first. Thank you for today."

Once Shen Qi finished thanking Sister Jing, she unwillingly got in the car.

Shen Qi sat down beside Ye Moxuan and closed the door. A faint fragrance belonging to Shen Qi immediately filled the interior of the car and entered Ye Moxuan's nose.

The faint scent of perfume mixed with the woman's body odor created a different kind of smell.

It was faint but also soothing and refreshing.

Ye Moxuan frowned.

He didn't like women wearing perfume, especially strong ones.

But the smell on Shen Qi made him feel comfortable, and he subconsciously took a deep breath.

When Ye Moxuan realized what he did, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Damn it, what's with this woman?

"That smell, what's that?" he asked coldly.

Shen Qi looked around and pointed at herself.

"Asking me?"

"Is there anybody else here?" Ye Moxuan replied in an unfriendly tone.

Shen Qi was speechless.

And so were the driver and Xiao Su.

Although we have a low presence, we should still be considered as people, right? Young Master Ye, can you not ignore us?

"Well, Sister Jing said she just developed this perfume by herself, and she felt that it suits me well, so she gave me a bottle."

Then, Shen Qi pulled out the bottle of perfume from her pocket to show it to Ye Moxuan and completely forgot what Ye Moxuan just told her.

Ye Moxuan looked at the bottle of perfume. A light pink liquid flowed in the bottle.

Afraid that he could not see it clearly, Shen Qi leaned forward. Her collar was slightly open, revealing a layer of white skin.
