Chapter 243 -243: You Resist Contacting Me?
Ye Chuyi had just thought to pull her hand back when she turned her head and saw Sheng Tingyuan, so she stopped again.
Sheng Tingyuan pressed the elevator button for her, “Leaving without calling for me?
“Oh, I…forgot.”
“Forgot?”
For the first time, Sheng Tingyuan was at a loss for words, cornered by someone; he never thought he would see the day he’d be forgotten.
His assistant, standing behind him, looked at him with a hint of sympathy.
President Sheng, with such a strong presence, saw everyone at the banquet hall desperately trying to catch his attention, hoping he would remember them even slightly, yet Madam was different from the others—she actually said she forgot about him, which clearly meant she didn’t take him seriously at all!
With a hint of apology in her voice, Ye Chuyi said, “Sorry.” She truly had forgotten him.
Her main reason for coming today was to obtain Wen Xingye’s blood; unexpectedly, she ran into Wen Xingye with that woman again, and in a moment of anger, felt it was unfair on behalf of Lady Wen.
As a result, she forgot about Sheng Tingyuan.
“Next time, you don’t have to be so blunt; you could say that you had more business to attend to, so you left first. Aren’t you the best at making up lies? Why didn’t you make one up this time?
Ye Chuyi looked at him helplessly, “Are you encouraging me to lie to you?
“It’s not impossible to lie to me occasionally.”
“What if I lied to you every day?”
“That certainly wouldn’t do. I don’t like being deceived all the time, and besides, those who deceive me usually don’t end up well. Are you sure you want to lie to me every day?”
Ye Chuyi couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
She was indeed continuously deceiving him, and if he ever found out the truth, she probably wouldn’t have a good outcome.
The elevator arrived, and she was led by him, her hand pulled into the elevator.
She wanted to pull her hand back, but he wouldn’t allow it.
His grip on her hand was tight, and then, she heard him say, “Next time, try not to hold hands with other men so casually, even if that man is your uncle.”
“Huh?”
Ye Chuyi’s mind filled with question marks, and it took her a while to realize that by “uncle,” he meant Wen Xingye.
“Oh, got it.”
Did he think she was willing to hold Wen Xingye’s hand? She disliked it very much herself!
It was only to prick his hand and get a blood sample.
The assistant huddled in a corner of the elevator, trying his best to reduce his presence; the boss was really something, even getting jealous of Madam’s uncle.

He saw clearly just now, Wen Xingye had a cut on his hand, and Madam was just wiping off the blood for him, nothing more.
Once out of the elevator, Ye Chuyi intended to go to her own car, but Sheng Tingyuan directly led her to his car, “Yang Hai will drive your car home for you.”
The assistant promptly stepped forward and said respectfully, “Madam, I will drive for you.”
Ye Chuyi had no choice but to give him her car keys and got into Sheng Tingyuan’s car.
Sheng Tingyuan insisted on opening and closing the car door for her, never allowing her to do it herself; he had her sit in the passenger seat while he took the driver’s seat.
Seeing her sitting motionless, he leaned over and fastened her seat belt for her.
He leaned in too close for comfort, and Ye Chuyi instinctively leaned back.
Unfortunately, the seat back was right there, and no matter how much she leaned back, she couldn’t avoid his face.
Sheng Tingyuan didn’t do anything else but couldn’t help shaking his head slightly as he saw her pressed tightly against the seat back.
Was she so unwilling to be close to him? Moving near her seemed as taboo as taking her life.
On the way back, Sheng Tingyuan asked her indifferently, “Are you just averse to physical contact with me, or with the opposite sex in general? When you were dating Qi Yunfan, did you also resist physical contact this much?”
Ye Chuyi didn’t expect him to ask such a direct question. Could it be he wanted to take things further? He couldn’t possibly be thinking of having her bear a child again, could he?
“I do have an aversion to contact with the opposite sex; it’s instinctive, and Qi Yunfan was no exception. Don’t you also resist contact with the opposite sex? When I used to hold your arm, you would stiffen up like a stone.
“That’s because I wasn’t familiar with you back then, and we also weren’t married.”
Ye Chuyi felt a headache coming on; she really didn’t want to discuss this topic with him.
She now really wanted to visit Dome to see if any colleagues from the laboratory department were still there, so they could help her verify Wen Xingye’s blood type and see if it matched Wen Nianyou’s.
She lit up her phone screen and glanced at the time; it was already half-past nine.
Forget it, they probably had all gone home.
Best to wait for tomorrow!
