C306 A Simple Kiss
"I'm going out to relax, not give you a chance to escape."
After the last button was fastened, Situ Ye walked over to Shen Mingxi's bed with a pair of long legs wrapped in well-ironed black pants.
Under her surprised gaze, Situ Ye stretched out his broad upper body. He grabbed her slim body that was hidden under the blanket and touched his lips to Shen Mingxi's ear in an unusually flirtatious manner. "You know I will find you. Don't do useless things. Otherwise, I would rather make a golden silk cage for you!"
Giving her freedom was already the limit that he could tolerate. He was confident that he could accept it and wanted to give it to her unexpectedly.
But his giving also had a bottom line!
The warmth by her ear made Shen Mingxi's little heart jump violently. But every word that Situ Ye said made her unable to help but tremble in fear.
"It's done." Feeling Shen Mingxi's entire body stiffen, Situ Ye smiled disapprovingly. A simple kiss fell on her slightly pursed lips and disappeared in an instant. "Remember, this freedom of yours was given to you by me. I don't want to give it to you. I will take it back immediately. "
When Situ Ye's footsteps disappeared in the corridor, Shen Mingxi seemed to have realized what Situ Ye meant.
He wanted to say that since he had given her freedom, he would not rashly interfere with her unless she touched his bottom line.
However, Shen Mingxi still did not understand why Situ Ye gave her the feeling before, including the words he suddenly said that surprised her, and why.
Or was it what happened last night? Men were used to doing things to make it up to each other when they wronged each other?
She could not figure out the cause and effect of this matter, and the excessive thoughts made Shen Mingxi's scalp tingle. She could not concentrate on thinking about anything.
After Situ Ye left, she stayed in the bedroom for half an hour before she tidied herself up and went downstairs.
Situ Ye usually had the habit of eating breakfast, but Shen Mingxi deliberately delayed upstairs for so long. That man was indeed not in the dining room anymore.
Shen Mingxi did not have much appetite. Maybe because there were too many things in her mind, she felt that every kind of food that looked very bright and beautiful had no attraction in her mouth.
She ate a little coarse breakfast and watched Mrs Lee tidy up the utensils and go to the kitchen. Shen Mingxi remembered what Situ Ye said before he left. If she felt bored, she could go out for a walk.
And today, as she expected, it should be Saturday, right?
The only one who could be considered friends with her was Bai Zhi, whom she had known a while ago. She did not know if she would have time.
Mrs Lee came out of the kitchen with a cup of warm milk in her hand. However, she only had time to see Shen Mingxi's thin back as she quickly went upstairs.
The phone was upstairs. Shen Mingxi used her fastest speed to call Bai Zhi. It was very surprising that Bai Zhi also expressed that she was very bored at home. She was thinking of asking a friend out for a walk. In addition, she did not return to T City for long. As a result, she did not have any so-called friends.
The two of them hit it off. Shen Mingxi took her bag and went downstairs. Coincidentally, the driver that Situ Ye called over also just arrived at Rose Manor. Under Mrs Lee's repeated reminders, Shen Mingxi rejected the glass of milk that she could not drink at all. She got into the car and went to the shopping mall that she had arranged with Bai Zhi.
Along the way, the scenery kept moving backward at the fast speed of the driver. Shen Mingxi opened her large amber eyes and stared at the scenery outside the window as if she was a curious baby.
There were some messy things that she could not think of. She really did not want to think about anything now.
What happened yesterday had become the past. In that instant, what she saw was more like an illusion. She even began to suspect that it was a dream that she had after sleeping last night.
And this morning, Situ Ye suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person. This made Shen Mingxi want to escape even more.
They were not people of the same world. She would not be foolish enough to take Situ Ye's words seriously.
Seeing that the car had entered the city, Bai Zhi, who had made an appointment to meet at the shopping mall, suddenly sent a text message to tell Shen Mingxi that she was waiting for her at a coffee shop in the shopping mall.
They were in the same place on both sides, but they had to walk two more steps. Shen Mingxi did not think too much about it. When the driver stopped at the mall downstairs, she informed the driver a little and then went upstairs with her bag.
But what Shen Mingxi did not expect was that Bai Zhi, whom she had made an appointment with, she did not know what was going on, but when she found the coffee shop... Under the guidance of the waiter, she found a private room and saw that other than Bai Zhi, Shun Dongzhe was also in the private room!
"Xi!" As soon as the door opened, Shun Dongzhe was the first to notice the slight awkwardness on Shen Mingxi's delicate face.
"Shen Mingxi, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Bai Zhi, who was happily playing with her phone, was interrupted by Shun Dongzhe's voice and quickly looked up. Seeing Shen Mingxi standing behind the waiter at the door, she could not help frowning and waving her hand. "What are you standing there for? Come over quickly!"
"Sorry to trouble you." Shun Dongzhe had also come along with Bai Zhi. This was definitely out of Shen Mingxi's expectations, but they were not people who should not be exposed. On the contrary, Shen Mingxi had always felt apologetic towards Shun Dongzhe.
So when she saw Shun Dongzhe, she was only slightly stunned. She nodded to the waiter and waited for him to turn around and leave. She then placed her handbag on a chair and sat on the sofa with Bai Zhi.
"Are you alright?" She smiled at Bai Zhi. Shen Mingxi's words and actions showed that as a child of Shen family, she had a good upbringing from a young age.
However, she was the one who gave the hesitating greeting to Shun Dongzhe.
After that night, she had never had the chance to see Shun Dongzhe. She did not even apologize to him personally!
"Cough..." Before Shun Dongzhe could speak, Bai Zhi, who came with him, gave a weird smile. She motioned Shen Mingxi to give way to him and smiled. "I will go to the bathroom. You guys chat first."
Shun Dongzhe swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and nodded gratefully at Bai Zhi.
Shen Mingxi also made way for him. Seeing Bai Zhi close the door, she took a deep breath and looked at Shun Dongzhe with her amber eyes with a complicated look. "I am very sorry about what happened that night."
She remembered that she liked to be straightforward and honest. No one was a lover who did not know about this matter. There was no need to hide it from anyone. Since Bai Zhi was not here now, she really wanted to apologize to Shun Dongzhe.
Now the truth was out. If she had not appeared, Shun Dongzhe would not have been dragged into the conflict between her and Situ Ye.
