C158 What Was She Thinking in Her Heart?

"What's the matter?"

Situ Ye's voice was very cold. He was almost patiently answering Shen Mingxi.

There was no more hysterical, no hatred. There was only cautiously asking about some unimportant things. Situ Ye suddenly had some doubts. Shen Mingxi like this made him surprised again.

Shen Mingxi was silent for a while, as if she did not notice Situ Ye's slightly cold voice. "It's nothing. It's just that you were not here last night and did not rest well."

Thump -

Situ Ye's pitch-black eyes suddenly became even more unfathomable.

What Shen Mingxi said just now, it was as if he did not hear a single word in his heart!

What did she mean by he was not here, and she did not sleep well?

They were not even boyfriend and girlfriend! What was she thinking in her heart?

"What are you trying to say?" The sudden beat of her hard heart surprised Situ Ye, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Although no one would be able to see what he looked like at the moment, he couldn't get through the hurdle in his heart no matter what!

Was he tempted by a woman?

A trace of anger quickly appeared on the young and handsome face.

"Can you come back for lunch at noon? Baby, baby will miss you too." A faint, yet gentle voice with a cautious tone rang slowly on the phone.

If Situ Ye had been suppressing his feelings just now, then all of his precautions would have collapsed when Shen Mingxi suddenly said those words.

A beautiful and proud woman suddenly lowered her proud head and her tsundere heart. She was willing to lower her head like this to a man. That gentle voice. It instantly reminded Situ Ye of the helplessness and weakness Shen Mingxi showed when they were doing that kind of thing.

If it wasn't for the prejudice that he had developed since a long time ago, Situ Ye would have seen it more clearly than anyone else during this period of time. A woman like Shen Mingxi would undoubtedly attract men easily!

"Noon..." He hesitated for a moment. He did not want to agree, but before he could think about his final decision, he heard his voice. It was very low, but he said absolutely, "Okay!"

"Okay, noontime, I'll cook for you!" Shen Mingxi, who was on the other end of the phone, seemed to be very happy that Situ Ye agreed to go back for lunch. Even the last sentence sounded a little lighter. After she finished speaking, as if she was afraid that Situ Ye would go back on his word, she quickly hung up the phone.

Situ Ye indifferently pressed down the window and allowed the cold wind outside the window to gently blow on his honey-colored skin.

In his hand, the phone that he had just spoken to was still in his palm. The strength was a little tight, and a few veins popped out on the back of his hand. However, after removing his pair of eyes that were so deep that no one dared to look directly at him, Situ Ye's expression... It was too calm. - -

Rose Manor.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Mingxi sat on the thick carpet with her back against the wall. She could not help but cover her heart tightly.

Her face was pale. Even the corners of her lips were so pale that it made people feel pity for her.

If that was the case, she thought that she would never say it to someone like Situ Ye in her life. However, she didn't expect that even if it was something impossible... Because she had no choice but to speak out her goal in a soft and obedient manner.

When she thought of the ridicule that Situ Ye might have made on the other end of the phone, her amber eyes darkened once again. A trace of embarrassment and grievance quickly flashed across her eyes.

After a long time, when there was a rhythmic sound of footsteps coming from the corridor, Shen Mingxi bit her lips and slowly stood up from the ground.

"Miss Shen!" When the maid entered the door, she suddenly saw that Shen Mingxi was dizzy from sitting for a long time and almost fell over. She hurriedly ran over and tightly hugged her shoulder. "Are you alright?"

Shen Mingxi felt a little bitter about her own terrible body. After she stabilized her body, she slowly shook her head. "I'm fine."

When the maid saw that she could stand by herself, she immediately took two steps back. "Breakfast time is up. Miss Shen needs to wash up and can go downstairs to eat breakfast."

Shen Mingxi nodded again. Her thin body did not have the appearance of a pregnant woman at all. She faintly looked at the bright sky outside the French window and felt a little gloomy. After a moment of silence, she sighed lightly and turned around to walk to the bathroom.

After breakfast, Shen Mingxi looked at the fresh vegetables in the fridge early in the morning. After confirming the dishes that she was going to cook in the afternoon, she ordered the servants to wash them and drain the water. When she saw the only maid with a name that she knew come in, a thought flashed through her mind. He pointed directly at the maid and said, "Zhen, accompany me for a walk outside!"

Zhen looked at the other middle-aged women and saw that one of them nodded her head before she obediently replied to Shen Mingxi and obediently followed her out of the kitchen.

"How long have you been here?" Just as she walked out of the entrance, Shen Mingxi headed towards the small path that Leng Yan had taken last night. She wanted to go towards the attic behind the villa and pretended to be indifferent as she asked Zhen.

Zhen obediently followed behind her and did not notice Shen Mingxi's objective. She only obediently replied, "It has only been two months. When I came, Miss Shen was already here."

When Jenny's matter happened back then, the servants in the manor experienced a huge change of blood and Zhen was the servant that was chosen to come here after Jenny died.

Shen Mingxi lightly nodded her head and paused. She continued to walk forward and her footsteps were even more hurried than before, "Do you know that there is another attic over there?"

Zuo Manqing stayed in that attic last night and there would definitely be a servant who would send her food or something. Even if Zhen did not know, she should have heard of it before.

Shen Mingxi hid her little thoughts and did not expect Zhen's next sentence which made her freeze on the spot.

Because of her young age, Zhen's voice was filled with innocence. She mustered her courage and asked, "What Miss Shen wants to know, is it the woman that was sent over last afternoon in the attic?"

"You know!" Shen Mingxi's face sank and she was instantly so excited that she could not speak.

Even in the Shen residence, all the servants were trained to not say things that they should not say. She had stayed in Rose Manor for so long and had seen many maids with a poker face that was always cold. Zhen would not even say half a word to her, so she spoke without any scruples. She could not help but doubt.

Zhen did not seem to notice Shen Mingxi's doubt and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I know. That attic was previously empty and I am the youngest. The butler always let me clean it. That place is extremely terrifying. It was not easy to send someone over yesterday. Miss Shen, if you ask, I will guess that you want to ask that woman."

Shen Mingxi's beautiful brows knitted slightly and she asked in a hoarse voice, "Then is she still there now?"
