C228 He Couldn't Help but Care about Her!

Mrs Lee did not say anything, but Shen Mingxi understood that she wanted her to not be too stubborn.

However, the meaning of home was not a big house, nor was it material property.

The home she wanted, was it something that Situ Ye could give?

"Alright, I won't say it casually. Take all the food. I can't eat anymore." Pushing away the dessert in front of her, Shen Mingxi felt a wave of fatigue.

She did not want to argue with her family anymore. Some things were enough to keep in her heart.

She knew that Situ Ye couldn't give it to her, so there was no need to keep arguing about it, right?

Mrs Lee sighed lightly. She understood Shen Mingxi's character. She knew that her words would not change anything, but what could she do about Shen Mingxi?

It could only be said that this was all fate. One day, Shen Mingxi would understand.

As a servant, she only hoped that Eldest Miss would have a good home.

Reality proved that Situ Ye was very mindful of Bai Zhi mentioning Shun Dongzhe in the study.

Shen Mingxi sat in the living room for more than half the afternoon and did not see Situ Ye go downstairs. It was only at dinner time that he rubbed his temples. There was a trace of tiredness in between his eyebrows as he slowly walked down the stairs.

He looked at the thin figure sitting at the dining table. She had never been a little fatter when she was by his side. She had always maintained such a thin image.

Was it because she was unhappy?

It was Situ Ye's first time thinking about such a problem. He never wanted to care about any woman's emotions, much less control a woman's emotions with his actions and thoughts.

However, he couldn't help it. He cared about it!

Mrs Lee came out with the last bowl of soup. When she saw that Situ Ye had come down, she quickly smiled and said, "Young Master, please sit down and have dinner. It's just right."

Situ Ye's thoughts were interrupted. He did not look at Shen Mingxi again. Instead, he turned around and pulled a chair diagonally opposite Shen Mingxi and sat down.

Mrs Lee looked at Shen Mingxi and helplessly shook her head. After putting down the soup, she smiled exceptionally kindly, "Eldest Miss, help Young Master get a bowl of soup. Drinking soup before dinner is good for your health."

As she spoke, the empty bowl that was previously placed on the dining table, Mrs Lee directly handed it to Shen Mingxi. Her eyes were filled with encouragement.

Two people living under the same roof, it was not possible for them to always be so awkward, right?

Most of the time, men just needed a step to go down. As a woman, she also could not be too stubborn and stubborn.

Looking at the empty bowl handed over in front of her, Shen Mingxi's delicate brows knitted tightly. She knew what Mrs Lee meant. It was just that, was it really of any use?

Although she was unwilling, she could not bear to brush off Mrs Lee's good intentions. After Situ Ye clearly breathed lightly, she took the bowl of soup. Her fair hand took the spoon and poured the bone soup into the bowl. Then she stood up and placed it on the table in front of Situ Ye without saying a word.

Although she looked awkward, she didn't reject it, did she?

Mrs Lee understood Shen Mingxi. For her to be able to do this, it was already considered not bad.

"Young Master, let's drink the soup first. Eldest Miss, come too!" Mrs Lee smiled and poured a bowl of soup for Shen Mingxi. After placing it in front of her, she turned around and left the restaurant.

"This soup doesn't suit your taste?" Situ Ye drank two mouthfuls of soup but saw that Shen Mingxi did not move at all. He frowned slightly and said in a cold voice.

He knew that if it was not because Mrs Lee had spoken just now, she would not be able to bear to let go of Mrs Lee's face. But eating with him, her actions seemed to be very unwilling.

Was it really that difficult to be with him?

Shen Mingxi took a deep breath. She felt that as long as there were the two of them in the air, she froze, but when faced with Situ Ye's question, she still answered neither respectfully nor humbly. Although there was no other expression on her delicate face, "The taste is very good."

"Since it's very good, drink more." He did not like to see her look numb. The original her should not have been like this.

After snorting coldly, Situ Ye quickly drank the bowl of bone soup and finished his dinner as fast as he could. He stood up and said, "Eat more. I still have work to do."

That night, Situ Ye did not return to his room until Shen Mingxi fell asleep.

The air was very quiet, as if she was the only one on the second floor.

Did they... Was this considered a cold war?

It might not be considered a cold war, but ever since that night, the maids in the garden had clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Even if the two of them ate at the same table and slept in the same room as usual, however, the mutual disregard and unfamiliarity between them could not deceive anyone.

Situ Ye misunderstood that she still had Shun Dongzhe in her heart. Or perhaps he directly thought that every time she was with him, she would also think of Shun Dongzhe in her heart.

As for Shen Mingxi, unexpectedly, she did not want to explain anything.

Or could it be that even if she explained, Situ Ye would believe it?

"I am here to find Young Master Leng. I have something to do!"

It was almost evening. The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room through the window. Shen Mingxi was lying on the sofa. Because Situ Ye had returned early and went upstairs, she did not want to see his dark handsome face.

Of course, Situ Ye probably did not want to see her either.

When she heard a crisp sound, Shen Mingxi was still listening to the boring television program. When she looked up, she saw an unfamiliar but fashionable and beautiful young woman. She was wearing a professional suit and a pair of dazzling red high heels. Zhen followed behind him. The words that she had said just now were probably spoken to Zhen.

When Zhen entered the room, she was still holding the watering can. When she saw Shen Mingxi sitting on the sofa, she bowed slightly, "Miss Shen, this is the secretary of Young Master's company. She said that she has something to do with Young Master."

Although these few days Situ Ye's attitude towards Shen Mingxi was neither warm nor cold, no one knew when the relationship between the two of them would return to its former state. After all, Shen Mingxi was still living on the second floor.

Hence, no servant dared to neglect Shen Mingxi. They still treated her as half of the owner of this garden.

The female secretary was wearing thick eye makeup. Although she was dressed like a professional, she still could not hide the charming temperament that she emitted. She was indeed worthy of being called a 'secretary'!

Shen Mingxi gave the female secretary a simple slap in the face and nodded. "He is upstairs. Zhen, bring this lady upstairs."

It was a very simple sentence but in front of the female secretary, Shen Mingxi could not help but blurt it out.

Of course, she would not be so foolish as to not think that her words had the feeling of vowing sovereignty. But so what? She was not a good person anyway. These days, every day seemed to be a kind of torture. However, Situ Ye went home so early every day that she could only sit obediently in the living room every afternoon. She counted the time that had passed.
