Chapter 90 Seeing her as a thief

There were only Ye Sichen, Lin Meng, Xia Nuan and the two children eating in the dining room. This restaurant was specialized in providing services for Ye Sichen by the music company.

It provided convenience for Ye Sichen and the staff members to have meals. Apart from this, it received the celebrities who cooperated with Ye Sichen as well.

At the table, Lin Meng kept servicing Wuyou and Nianci the dishes. However, Wuyou and Nianci protested against her warm service silently.

They took the fork and put all the food Lin Meng serviced on a useless plate, which showed that they didn’t like it.

Lin Meng felt awkward and her face turned pale immediately.

Seeing this, Xia Nuan tried to ease the atmosphere instantly, “The two little guys are fastidious about food. They refuse to eat the food they don’t like.”

“Oh, it’s alright.”

Ye Sichen stared at Wuyou and Nianci coldly, “Don’t be so rude next time. You should tell your aunt whether you like it or not before she serves the food to you.”

Wuyou nodded reluctantly, “I see, dad.”

However, Nianci was not as obedient as Wuyou. She stared at Ye Sichen unhappily, “We don’t like auntie serving us food. We like mom doing this for us.”

Xia Nuan’s face turned pale after hearing it, “Nianci, stop it.”

“Mom, why can’t I speak it out? Can’t you be my mom? You are my mom undoubtedly!”

“Nianci!”

Ye Sichen yelled at her seriously.

Seeing this, Lin Meng looked at Xia Nuan incredibly.

Were there anything wrong with her ears? Why did Nianci call Xia Nuan mom? Wasn’t Xia Nuan the cousin of Ye Sichen?

Nianci choked with sobs, hid in Xia Nuan’s arms and looked at Ye Sichen fearfully.

Xia Nuan wrapped her arms around her and soothed her for a while. Then she frowned and explained to Lin Meng carefully. The latter was puzzled. “Lin Meng, don’t take this the wrong way. I used to be their nanny before…”

“Yeah, I know. They feel closest to you. Naturally, they will blurt the “mom” out. As kids, they usually say what they like without thinking too much. However, it is not good for them to call you mom in front of the media. The media are ‘rubbish’. They always report something that are out of nothing.”

Lin Meng interrupted Xia Nuan. Then she smiled and expressed her understandings towards the kids’ behaviors just now.

Xia Nuan nodded.

Ye Sichen looked towards Lin Meng. He found that her emotional intelligence was very high.

“Lin Meng, I’ll send someone to take you back. After you shoot this MV, I hope you can return to your own life. This field is not easy for you to spread your wings.” Ye Sichen also found that Lin Meng had intentional motivation. What’s more, she was also extreme. He did not want to have too much intersection with her.

Hearing it, Lin Meng frowned. She looked at Ye Sichen emotionally, “Is my performance not good enough?”

“You are perfect. I will invite you again if I have other appropriate MVs for you, but I’ve got none for the time being.” Ye Sichen said euphemistically.

Lin Meng smiled and nodded, “Mr. Ye, I will wait for your informing.”

“Hmm.” Ye Sichen answered faintly.

Out of the restaurant, Ye Sichen told Paul to drive Lin Meng home. Before Lin Meng left, she did not forget to turn around and glance at Ye Sichen.

Xia Nuan got onto Uncle Xiang’s car together with Wuyou and Nianci. They were ready to return to the arena. Ye Sichen lived in Feicheng Arena for a long time for shooting this MV. Xia Nuan lived there as well because of the clothing design work.

At first, Ye Sichen scheduled to take Ken’s car for a publicity meeting in the company. However, he accidentally sat on Uncle Xiang’s car and returned to Feicheng Arena with them.

On their way back, they didn’t talk to each other. They were occupied with themselves respectively.

After they returned to the private room inside the arena, the two children were afraid of Ye Sichen, so they followed Xia Nuan to her room.

Nianci and Wuyou were in low spirits. They held Xia Nuan’s arms, keeping their mouths shut.

“Wuyou, Nianci, dad got angry because you said something wrong just now. Outside, I am your aunt. Don’t call me mom. Are you clear?”

Xia Nuan held Nianci and Wuyou’s hands and said to them patiently.

“Why did he get angry? I don’t understand. It was he who said that you were our mom. But now he doesn’t allow us to call you that way.” Wuyou frowned as a little adult and felt that her words were incomprehensible.

“That’s because you grow up with my accompany when you were babies. As you were young, you could call me mom, but now you are one year older, so you shouldn’t call me that way anymore. Are you clear?” Xia Nuan said.

Wuyou and Nianci looked at Xia Nuan. They seemed to understand something and nodded. However, they were both somewhat unhappy. In order to make them happy, Xia Nuan began to play games with them.

“I don’t want to play games.”

“Me, either.”

The two little guys lay in the bed and closed their eyes in low spirits.

Their sad expressions tugged at Xia Nuan’s heartstrings, but what could she do? She was not their mother. It was a fact. They had to accept it.

She sang songs to lull them to sleep.

As the children fell asleep, she sat alone and grew dazed.

At this time, she called Helen.

During the period Ye Sichen shooting the MV, she had contact with Helen all along.

“Miss Helen, since last time you said that you wanted to hire me as a designer, I can promise you that I will work for you now. May I ask you to advance me some money on my salary?”

“No problem. As long as you come here and work for me, I can prepay you a high salary. What do you think?” Helen said straightforwardly.

“Okay, I need fifty-million yuan now.” She decided that when she worked for Helen later, she would offset the prepaid salary through her work.

“Well. As long as you come to work here, I will advance you the money right away.”

“I’ve determined to work for you.”

She was hired by Ye Sichen as a designer. Although the costumes she designed were needed to be improved, she was kind of famous under Ye Sichen’s glory. Naturally, there were a lot of people who would be eager to hire her.

“Okay. Deal.” After Helen finished, she asked Xia Nuan whether Lan Qing often came to her place or not.

“He has been here twice for the design issues.”

Helen was silent for a moment and then hung up.

Xia Nuan decided to pay Ye Sichen with the prepaid money from Helen. Then she would leave here.

“Xia Nuan, don’t expect that Helen will help you.”

Abruptly, behind her came Ye Sichen’s cold voice. Xia Nuan was shocked. She pinched the phone in her hand. As she turned around, she saw Ye Sichen standing behind her.

Her heart trembled. She turned embarrassed immediately!

She didn’t know when he came in. Apparently, he had already heard their conversation.

“I just need to repay the fifty million yuan to you. As for the method, it’s none of your business.”

“If Helen prepays you a penny, I will not ask you to pay me back.” He said scornfully with his slender figure leaning against the dressing table.

Xia Nuan bit her lips without a word.

Ye Sichen approached to her and touched her on her face, “As long as I don’t agree, no one dares to hire you.”

Looking at his cold face, Xia Nuan was frightened.

“If you didn’t say that you were my cousin, Wuyou and Nianci could call you mom publicly. Xia Nuan, you prefer to maintain this kind of secret relationship rather than be my wife. Do you think it’s interesting?”

Ye Sichen held her chin a little bit tighter.

“I don’t want to be your wife. I don’t want it at all.” Xia Nuan shook her head and looked at him sadly, “We are not the same kind of people. We are as far apart as heaven and earth. It is impossible for us to get together.”

“As long as I want it, nothing is impossible.” Ye Sichen pulled her into his arms forcefully. Then he touched her lips and kissed her expertly.

“Let me go…”

Ye Sichen was overwhelming. He pressed her on the bed and controlled her easily. He smuggled at her enjoyment, “Now we are not only being together, but we have integrated into each other as well. Xia Nuan, don’t try to fool me with another woman. It’s useless.”

Xia Nuan had no force to fight against his touch, except to bear it…

At the same night, Xia Nuan removed away the hands placing on her waist gently. Then she went to the bathroom with the mobile phone in her hand.

She called Helen, but she couldn’t get through the phone for a long time. Xia Nuan was disappointed and left the bathroom silently.

Afterwards, Helen didn’t contact her until the third day.

She called Xia Nuan and told her that she couldn’t afford to pay so much to her for the time being. Apart from this, Helen would not hire her as a designer.

Xia Nuan knew well that these were all made by Ye Sichen secretly.

Ye Sichen had said that as long as he did not agree, she would never dream of leaving him and finding another job.

When Xia Nuan was at a loss, there was a piece of news on TV.

Everyone was astonished to hear that.

“…It is reported that Ye Sichen’s MV costume is a copy work… The Designer, Ms. Xia Nuan he hired, is suspected of copying the work designed by the well-known Designer Chen Qiqi…”

As the host reported it, Chen Qiqi’s work was compared with Xia Nuan’s work. The styles of the two models were almost the same!

Looking at the pictures on the TV, Xia Nuan could not help frowning.

This costume was carefully designed for Ye Sichen. It was a time-consuming and laborious work for her to design it. But Chen Qiqi’s work and that of hers were almost from the same model! Was this just a coincidence?

Moreover, Chen Qiqi’s design work was released a month ago.

At that time, Xia Nuan did not finish it yet.

Just as the music MV created by Ye Sichen was about to be popular among the music field, Chen Qiqi sued Xia Nuan for copying her design. Soon, Ye Sichen’s MV was banned by some media and the sales volume was not as vigorous as before.

Xia Nuan received a court leaflet, which required her presence in the court for trial.

Ye Sichen got a defense lawyer for her and began to file a lawsuit against Chen Qiqi.

At the same time, Ye Sichen was demanded by his music team to dismiss Xia Nuan, because this affair seriously affected the MV sales. They asked Ye Sichen to set aside his relationship with Xia Nuan, re-shoot the music MV in another clothing style and re-issue it.

Ye’s family, the music company, the AGE company and Ye Sichen’s team all unanimously asked him to dismiss Xia Nuan.

For a time, Xia Nuan became the target who suffered from the public criticism.

No one believed her, except Ye Sichen.

The second time she attended the court, Xia Nuan admitted that she had copied Chen Qiqi’s work, because she didn’t want to put Ye Sichen in a dilemma between her and his music team and family.

Everyone saw her as a thief.

As Xia Nuan was about to be convicted, there was a witness who turned up to testify for her abruptly.

The witness was Ye Sichen.

When Ye Sichen appeared as a witness in the court, the media reporters clustered outside the court and surrounded it closely. Without the guards’ resistance, they would definitely rush in.

Looking at Ye Sichen, Xia Nuan was moved with tears. At the same time, she was worried about him.

There was no need for him to testify for her…

“I can testify on behalf of Xia Nuan. She didn’t copy anyone’s work. She designed my MV clothes painstakingly. She did not copy Chen Qiqi’s work.” Ye Sichen said word by word affirmatively. His voice echoed in the quiet court.
