“AH—” Mo Xiaomeng shouted as she landed on the floor. It was damp, making her skirt wet.
Upon seeing this, Tian Yunxin realized that the situation was turning bad. She quickly erased the loathing on her face and reached out to pull her up. ” Are you alright? I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Not on purpose?
Mo Xiaomeng wasn’t a petty person and didn’t argue with her. After standing up, she pushed her hand away. “It’s alright.”
Just then, someone entered upon hearing the scream. “What happened?”
When she saw Mo Xiaomeng she was stunned. “Aren’t you the one Young Master Ye brought over… What happened to you? Why is your skirt like that?”
Upon seeing that someone else was there, Tian Yunxin’s brows furrowed. Afraid that Mo Xiaomeng would reveal that she had pushed her, she hastened to push the blame on someone else. “What is the cleaner doing? The place is so damp because she didn’t mop it properly. She slipped and fell because of that. It must have been painful!”
“Does it hurt? Are you alright?” The person asked Mo Xiaomeng, concerned.
Mo Xiaomeng was about to shake her head and say she was fine when she heard a familiar voice ring out from outside.
“Xiaomeng?”
Upon hearing Ye Sijue’s voice, Mo Xiaomeng, who was already feeling pain from the fall, teared up, her eyes reddening.
The Head Secretary ran in. Realizing that she was indeed inside, she said hastily, “Young Master Ye has been looking for you all this while.”
Mo Xiaomeng remembered that Ye Sijue had instructed her not to wander around.
She calmed her emotions and walked out.
Ye Sijue was right outside the door and upon seeing a slightly battered Mo Xiaomeng walking out with a weird posture he rushed to her.
His sharp eyes surveyed her and realized that her skirt was wet.
“Did you fall?” he asked.
Because of his question, Mo Xiaomeng’s nose twinged again.
If there weren’t so many people watching, she would have leapt forward, hugging him and telling him that she was hurt from falling.
However, she could only stay strong and shake her little head. “I’m okay…”
Seeing her like this made Ye Sijue’s heart ache.
“You call this okay?” He could clearly see the tears in her eyes. She looked like she was about to cry. She was not okay, no matter how he looked at her.
However, Mo Xiaomeng only shook her head, refusing to say anything.
Just then, Tian Yunxin walked out, trembling. She tried to cover up and pretend that she wasn’t feeling guilty as though she had nothing to do with this.
The female colleague who had entered the restroom also stood at the door. Upon seeing how frosty Ye Sijue was,no one dared to say a word.
Ye Sijue swept a glance across them and asked sharply, “What happened earlier? How did she fall?”
Tian Yunxin originally planned to push the question to the female colleague to answer, but she realized that Ye Sijue was staring at her. She could only answer resentfully, “The floor… was too wet…”
She trembled as she said this, looking at Mo Xiaomeng worriedly, afraid that she would expose her lie.
The crowd was growing and Mo Xiaomeng felt unfortable. Stepping towards Ye Sijue, she tugged at his sleeve and said in a small voice, “Let’s go back to the office first.”
Ye Sijue turned back to look at her. His gaze was one of heartache and gentleness.
He took off his coat and put it around her.
He asked, “Who made you fall? Tell me.”
The people who were present were shocked.
They weren’t seeing things, right?
