She stood in front of the door, completely confused. Shen Ye An's unhappy voice came from inside, "Li Ran, what are you mumbling about at the door for? Come in."
"Strictly speaking, it's Mister Shen and Eldest Young Master who are sending you back."
After Li Ran said his piece, he hurried in. Qiao Xi closed the door. He immediately understood the doubt that had been on his mind. He must have needed someone to support him since he was so drunk.
It's just that after sending her off, what happened to Shen Ye An and the Young Master, making him become like that?
The two Shen brothers were not kind people, so Qiao Xi didn't want to get involved.
She did not leave the hotel that night, but prepared to order takeout for dinner. The cell phone on the table vibrated.
[Come next door]
Qiao Xi pretended not to see it. Three minutes later, Shen Ye An's phone rang.
"Hello."
"Open the door."
Qiao Xi had no choice but to open the door. Shen Yeyan was standing in front of the door with clothes and a mask in his hands. Where were they going with his appearance in the middle of the night?
"Come out with me."
"What?"
"Don't say that in front of a man."
Qiao Xi blushed. She was so angry that she was about to close the door. However, she was stopped by Shen Ye An: "Hurry up and change your clothes. Li Ran is waiting below."
Qiao Xi took it over in a huff and put it on.
Shen Ye stood in the corridor and went downstairs with her. Qiao Xi held the clothes and jewelry that he had changed. "I'll return it to you."
Shen Ye An chuckled. "Qiao Xi, do you know that these words are tantamount to insulting me?"
"…"
"There is no reason for me to take back what I gave away."
"I can accept the clothes, but the jewelry is too expensive, my neck won't be able to bear it."
Qiao Xi fished out some jewelry from the bag. The diamonds sparkled under the light as she quickly slipped her hand into his pocket. She had completed her task before he could react.
Shen Yeyan's body stiffened. Qiao Xi carefully examined his expression, but didn't see any changes. It was extremely unexpected.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Shen Yeyan's thoughts went through a hundred twists and turns. He had felt a hint of Qiao Xi's touch just now, but his body and mind did not reject it. It made his heart freeze.
The feeling of being electrocuted ran through his mind and disappeared at the end of his nerves.
"Can't you see that I'm holding back?"
"Yes, continue to be so."
Qiao Xi happily opened his phone to record his illness. Shen Yeyan took a glance and only saw three consecutive question marks. What the hell?
Li Ran drove the car to the hotel. Qiao Xi leaned on the window and asked, "Where are we going?"
Shen Yeyan, who sat in the car, took off his mask and said, "We'll know when we get there."
She pursed her lips and looked at her phone in displeasure. There was a message from Xu Yi City.
"Have you eaten?"
[Not yet.]
"Give me the address, I'll order takeout for you."
"Nothing, I'll be eating it in a while. Still not getting off work?"
[He is going to perform surgery on stage in a while. He will probably be back in the early hours of the morning.]
[Pay more attention and rest.]
Just as Qiao Xi finished typing, she turned her head to find Shen Yeyan slightly stretching his neck and subconsciously pressing the phone's screen against her.
"Mister Shen's neck is rather slender."
Shen Yeyan was not angered by the sarcasm. "Miss Shen has my time right now. It's better to deal with less personal matters."
Qiao Xi was at a loss for words. She only looked at the contract later on. The working hours were always on standby, which meant that it was Shen Yeyan's 24 hours. There was no use getting angry, so she could only put down her phone.
The car happened to be passing the speed bump. The phone she had been holding in her lap slid down, and Qiao Xi immediately bent down to pick it up. Li Ran braked and slammed into the front seat, making a gurgling sound as she tried to get up, only to discover that her hair was wrapped around the zipper at the back of the back of the front seat.
"Aiya."
Seeing that she was holding her head and unable to get up, Shen Ye An knitted his brows and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My hair is hooked on the zipper."
The car was still moving, causing his scalp to ache from the slight jolting. The interior of the car was dimly lit, so Shen Yeyan had no choice but to turn on the flashlight. He saw a twist of black hair wrapped around the zipper.
Li Ran drove on the street and temporarily couldn't find any place to park his car. "Miss Qiao, please hold it down."
Qiao Xi bent over with a flushed face. "Drive steadily."
"Alright."
Qiao Xi's hands were also working on it, but the more she did so, the more confused she became. She even accidentally tore off a few pieces.
Shen Ye An held the flashlight and his heart was tormented by the pot of oil. His five fingers were opened, gritting his teeth as he slowly extended them forward.
"Take your hand away."
"Mister Shen."
"Allow me."
Qiao Xi wanted to turn around, but her hair pulled painfully. She couldn't see Shen Yeyan's face, and only saw his hand that was slowly reaching over, trembling slightly.
His index finger was the first to touch her black hair. It was soft and exquisite. The touch caused his breathing to quicken and his brain to swell. He quickly pulled out the hair that was stuck, but did not undo it as he expected.
If the black hair was stuck inside, it would break if he pulled forcefully, so he had to take it slowly.
Qiao Xi did not dare move. He held his breath as the pain on his head gradually improved. A minute later, Shen Yeyan's hoarse voice sounded from above his head, "It's done."
She suddenly stood up and looked over. Her face suddenly changed.
"Mister Shen, how are you?"
She took the flashlight and pointed it at him. Shen Yeyan's face turned pale, and his wide body slumped back into his seat. His body trembled slightly as he leaned against the window. He covered his mouth and was about to vomit.
Li Ran looked back and saw the situation behind him. He shouted anxiously, "Miss Qiao, the plastic bag is behind the back of the chair."
"Alright."
She quickly took out a plastic bag and handed it over. Shen Yeyan did not take it, but instead breathed heavily, as if he couldn't connect his breathing to it.
"Mister Shen, don't think too much. Look at me."
Shen Yeyan did his best to calm down. He didn't even dare look at Qiao Xi. At this moment, he didn't want his sorry state to fall into her eyes. He even turned his face towards the car window.
Seeing him turn around with his back facing her, Qiao Xi was so anxious that she started sweating.
"Mister Shen, it's fine. If you can't take it, just spit it out."
However, Shen Yeyan turned a blind eye. His hand tightly pressed on the door of the car. After Li Ran stopped the car, he suddenly opened the door and got off.
Qiao Xi jumped in fright and immediately followed him out of the car.
Shen Yeyan staggered to the side of the flower bed by the side of the road and threw up with a hunched back. Before Qiao Xi could step forward, Li Ran rushed to his side and passed him a bottle of water.
She stood behind him and looked at Shen Yeyan's miserable figure. She felt a wave of sadness and self-blame. She silently bit her lips and clenched her fists. She must treat him.
