“All! President Fang, we…”
Xiao Qingyi was about to explain.
“Don’t move!” Ye Xiaofei interrupted her directly, saying, “It’s not over yet.”
Then he turned his head and shouted at Fang Yunshu, “You, get out first.”
Fang Yunshu almost spewed blood out of anger.
This jerk was doing such despicable things with her secretary in her own office. What infuriated her even more was that she caught them, and he not only didn’t stop but also told her to leave.
Did he treat her like air? He was clearly disregarding her completely.
Though she had already put away the needle, Xiao Qingyi didn’t expect Ye Xiaofei to directly place his hand on her shoulder, then run it down along her shoulder, across her chest, and finally to her lower abdomen, where he made several rotations before stopping.
“Quick, go to the restroom.” Ye Xiaofei tossed Xiao Qingyi’s clothes back onto her.
A sudden urge to relieve herself struck her intensely, and Xiao Qingyi hurriedly put on her clothes. She didn’t even have time to wear her bra. As she buttoned up, she dashed out like the wind.
“What are you doing?” Fang Yunshu, at this moment, felt that things might not be as she had imagined.
Ye Xiaofei said, “She’s been poisoned, and I’m detoxifying her.”
Fang Yunshu frowned, saying, “Poisoned? How could she be poisoned out of the blue?”
Ye Xiaofei sighed and explained, “Someone was trying to cause trouble for me, and Xiao Qingyi happened to be unlucky enough to become the scapegoat.” Fang Yunshu’s frown deepened as she questioned, “Cause trouble for you? What kind of mess did you get yourself into?”
“This person should be the one who poisoned you. He’s come after me several times already,” Ye Xiaofei replied.
Fang Yunshu’s eyes widened in shock, “The one who poisoned me? But why did you need to act so urgently? Couldn’t you have prepared some medicine for her? Hmph, 1 think you’re just using this as an excuse to indulge in such illicit affairs.”
Ye Xiaofei gave Fang Yunshu a disdainful look and said, “Hey, there are countless types of poison, and different poisons have different ways of affecting the body. Her poison is completely different from yours. If 1 had been a bit slower, she could have died. I had to treat her immediately.”
Fang Yunshu angrily retorted, “Hmph, I don’t believe your nonsense.”
At that moment, Xiao Qingyi walked in, looking embarrassed.
“How are you feeling now?” Fang Yunshu asked.
Blushing, Xiao Qingyi replied, “The pain was intense just now, but after Assistant Ye treated me, 1 seem to be better now.”
Fang Yunshu inquired further, “How did you get poisoned?”
“I don’t know either. 1 just had something to eat at the restaurant downstairs, and when I came back, my stomach started aching,” Xiao Qingyi explained.
Fang Yunshu nodded and said, “Then rest on the bed for a while.”
“No need!” Xiao Qingyi quickly shook her head and said, “President Fang, I’m really sorry. I even used your bed. I’ll go and change the sheets for you now.” Xiao Qingyi pulled off the bedsheet, wrapping her bra inside it.
Once Xiao Qingyi left, Fang Yunshu turned her sharp gaze towards Ye Xiaofei and said, “Do you have to follow trouble wherever it goes?”
Ye Xiaofei replied, “Isn’t this just an accident? Look, I’ve always been helping you and haven’t caused you any trouble. Since 1 came back, haven’t things been getting better for you?”
Fang Yunshu snapped, “You haven’t caused me trouble? If it wasn’t for you…” But she suddenly stopped and closed her mouth.
“What’s wrong with me?” Ye Xiaofei asked with confusion.
“Hmph, just stop stirring up trouble here and go away,” Fang Yunshu waved her hand dismissively and sat down at her desk, not even bothering to look at Ye Xiaofei.
“This woman always speaks in riddles,” Ye Xiaofei muttered to himself as he left the office.
He had indeed let Fang Yunshu down in the past. However, it wasn’t his responsibility that she was struggling in life due to an unplanned pregnancy. He couldn’t be blamed for all of that, could he?
“Women, they’re just unreasonable,” Ye Xiaofei shook his head, feeling like he couldn’t figure out Fang Yunshu’s thoughts, and decided not to delve into it for now.
Xiao Qingyi was still in the office when Ye Xiaofei came out. She lowered her head, and Ye Xiaofei noticed that her face was red, even extending to her neck. “Are you feeling better now?” Ye Xiaofei asked.
“No… It’s nothing,” Xiao Qingyi murmured, still keeping her head down.
“That’s good. You’ve put your bra back on, right?” Feeling the awkward atmosphere, Ye Xiaofei casually asked, glancing at Xiao Qingyi.
Xiao Qingyi happened to look up at that moment, meeting Ye Xiaofei’s gaze, which made her even more nervous. “Assistant Ye, I… I…”
Ye Xiaofei also felt embarrassed and said, “I’m sorry, I just asked without thinking. It was unintentional.”
The two of them fell into silence immediately. Ye Xiaofei’s silence was because he was the reason for this situation, but he couldn’t explain it to Xiao Qingyi clearly.
As for Xiao Qingyi, her embarrassment stemmed from the process of treatment. Taking off her clothes was one thing, and getting acupuncture wasn’t a problem either. But most importantly, Ye Xiaofei touched her directly, which made Xiao Qingyi blush even more and feel increasingly uncomfortable facing him..
