Qiao Xi stayed in the hospital with injuries to her leg for three days. She only returned to Shen Yenan's place after she was discharged from the hospital.
Once again, Qiao Yang disappeared without a sound. He didn't answer her phone, nor did he return home. His parents were completely disappointed with her and treated her like their daughter.
However, when Qiao Xi found out from Shen Yeyan that Qiao Yang's residence was in, she couldn't be bothered with it and didn't go look for her.
During this time, in order to reduce the weight on her legs, Qiao Xi didn't go to the Shen family until about a week after she had recovered.
Coincidentally, they bumped into Shen Ye Ling who went downstairs to buy coffee early in the morning. The two of them walked through the door together, unable to avoid him even if they wanted to.
Shen Ye Ling wore a set of black clothes and black pants, her face was calm, and after not seeing her for a few days, she seemed even thinner. Her eyes were slightly sunken in, and stared straight at her, full of sharpness.
Compared to Qiao Xi, who had been raised in the mansion for a while, he was much more energetic.
Shen Ye Ling deliberately slowed down his pace and approached, "It's been a long time since I last saw Miss Qiao. I haven't seen you at Madam Shen's place for quite some time."
"Yeah, I've been busy lately."
"Miss Qiao is busy. I'm afraid that younger brother is also busy. We might have to congratulate him after some time."
Qiao Xi looked over, not understanding. Shen Ye Ling explained, "You might not know, but my second brother is in love."
"…"
Qiao Xi had no idea what was going on, but his expression was calm. In Shen Ye Ling's eyes, he was calm and composed.
"Congratulations to him, then."
"Yes, it's all thanks to Miss Qiao."
Qiao Xi smiled but didn't say anything. She quickened her steps and returned to the office to think about it for a while.
She had been staying in the villa for the past few days and hadn't heard Shen Yeyan talk about it. On the other hand, he had been very active in cooperating with her treatment.
Qiao Xi pondered for a moment before getting up and heading to Shen Yeyan's office. However, she met Secretary Lin outside the door and was sternly reprimanded by a daintily dressed woman.
When the woman turned her head, she could clearly see her pretty face. It was her!
Secretary Lin bowed his head as he was reprimanded, but his eyes were full of ruthlessness. He smirked, "Miss Liu, Mister Shen told me that you are not allowed to enter while he is not around."
Liu Mengmeng was ordered by Mrs. Shen to act arrogantly, "Do you know who I am? I'm Shen Yeyan's girlfriend, get out of my way. "
"I'm sorry, Miss Liu. Mister Shen told me that even you are not allowed to enter."
Secretary Lin firmly stood in front of Liu Mengmeng and did not allow either of the two women to get in his way.
Liu Mengmeng was not a merciful person, and so was Secretary Lin. She was filled with disgust towards Liu Mengmeng, actually liking Mister Shen and even claiming to be his girlfriend. Mister Shen had never admitted it before and had specifically told her to stop her, not allowing her to enter.
Secretary Lin sneered as she looked at the woman's exquisite face. Wasn't she using her family's background to show off her strength in front of her? She straightened her back and refused.
Liu Mengmeng's brightly painted fingernails fiercely pointed at her, "You don't want to work at Shen Shi anymore, I'll get someone to dismiss you right now."
"Miss Liu, this is the place to work, not the place to throw a tantrum."
"Get out of the way, or you'll be in trouble."
Qiao Xi stood behind him and watched the two argue. For a moment, she didn't know whether to enter or retreat. After making a ruckus for a few minutes, the door to the office suddenly opened.
Shen Ye An stood at the doorway with a dark face. His large and muscular body was like a statue. His sharp eyes swept across the two people arguing endlessly. Finally, his gentle gaze landed on Qiao Xi. The interest in her eyes from watching a show made his face turn even darker.
Seeing that Shen Yeyan had come out, Liu Mengmeng immediately went up to him and complained, "Teacher Shen, your secretary is stopping me from seeing you. She even said that you're not in the office."
Her voice was deliberately soft, in a completely different style from when she was arguing with Secretary Lin earlier.
Shen Ye An frowned. "I'm not telling you not to come. This is the place where you work."
"But Auntie Shen …"
"I don't want to see you making a ruckus at the door next time. There are some things I've already explained to you very clearly."
Liu Meng's face paled, becoming even more unsightly.
Shen Yeyan ignored her, but Mrs. Shen wanted them to continue getting along. It was because of Mrs. Shen's relationship that she was able to get in and out of the Shen household.
Hearing that, Secretary Lin sneered and blocked her way, "Miss Liu, you should leave. Mister Shen does not wish to see you."
She proudly opened her mouth and urged her to leave. Liu Meng fiercely glared at her.
Qiao Xi stood at the back and watched the show for a while. He was about to leave when he was suddenly called by Shen Yeyan. "Qiao Xi, come in."
He turned to enter the house first, and she walked in at a moderate pace.
When she passed by Liu Mengmeng, she intentionally looked at Qiao Xi. She felt that he looked familiar, but she didn't know where she saw him. Secretary Lin urged her and she pushed him back.
Liu Mengmeng instantly understood and left with a gloomy face.
He stood in front of the French window with his hand in front of him. A large amount of light shone on his body, and his entire body was covered in light. He pursed his lips tightly, then turned his head back, his dark gaze seeming to pierce through her.
"Liu Mengmeng won't come again."
"Hmm, did you feel any psychological pressure when you interacted with her?"
She opened the record book and went about his business. However, Shen Yeyan was glaring at her.
"This is not the time for treatment."
"OK, I'll leave now. It won't affect your work."
She was about to leave when Shen Yeyan called out to her.
"Stop. Let's start the treatment."
He lay down in a huff. Qiao Xi pulled over a chair and sat opposite him, but he kept his jaw tight and turned his face away, not giving her a single glance.
Qiao Xi opened the notebook and specifically asked: "During the process of contact with Liu Mengmeng, did you reject her?"
"Yes."
"And if she comes near? There are others? "
"Yes."
"Have you had skin contact?"
Shen Yeyan coldly dug out a few words but didn't say anything. He then rolled his eyes at her and said, "It can't be."
His state of mind was agitated. Qiao Xi pointed out, "You are still not in the right mood right now."
"What's wrong?"
"You are rejecting him."
Shen Yeyan was already able to restrain himself when he came into contact with him, but he still couldn't do it with the other members of the opposite sex. He wanted to reject them from the bottom of his heart.
"You have to adjust your mentality. It's just ordinary contact, and the other party doesn't have any infectious diseases."
"Who knows?"
"If you think that way, you'll be a bachelor for life."
"Hur hur, I don't have any more for you to contact."
Qiao Xi abruptly closed the notebook and glared at him. "You're overthinking it. There's only one woman you can touch in your world, but mine is a world of millions of men. We're not the same."
