Ye Qilan moved gently, with a soft expression, giving her his undivided attention as if she were the only scenery in this world.
However, Su Hongxing knew that beneath his gentle facade, this man had a heart of stone and was both fickle and heartless.
She reminded herself constantly not to be blinded by his sugar-coated bullets, or she’d be the one getting hurt.
“Are you happy with me?” Ye Qilan asked, holding Su Hongxing’s hand.
Su Hongxing nodded and replied, “Quite happy.”
Even if she wasn’t happy, she couldn’t tell the truth. Who knows what ulterior motives Ye Qjlan had for asking her this question?
“Do you like me?” Ye Qilan, with the back of his hand brushed her fair face, asked again.
Su Hongxing nodded, “Of course. You’re gentle, wealthy, and handsome. Which woman wouldn’t like such an outstanding man?”
She indeed liked him, but this attraction could only remain at this stage. It couldn’t progress any further.
“But you love Xiao Ji.”
The next words from Ye Qilan caused Su Hongxing’s steady expression to crack slightly.
Though this man could not understand love, it didn’t mean he was an intellectual dummy. Of course, he could analyze the dynamics.
“I want you to love me. You should only love me!” Ye Qilan commanded with a calm voice.
If only Su Hongxing fell in love with him, she wouldn’t leave him in the future.
Even though he didn’t understand why people rushed after love so fervently, and why so many silly men and bitter women would live or die for it, it was certain that love could influence a person’s entire life.
Therefore, the simple way to make Su Hongxing stay by his side honestly was to make her fall in love with him.
Lowering her eyelashes to hide her sharp gaze, Su Hongxing innocently counter-asked, “Then if I ask you to love me and only love me, can you promise that?”
Ye Qilan was left speechless by Su Hongxing’s words.
He never harbored any feelings, nor had he ever thought that one day he’d have the normal emotions of love and hate like the rest of the people.
To have him fall in love with a woman, to be frank, he didn’t know if he even possesses that kind of emotion.
“I like you. Hongxing, you know, I’m an emotionless monster. Liking you is already my limit,” Ye Qilan held Su Hongxing’s warm hand tightly, his words candid.
He didn’t even know if he would have the chance to love someone in his lifetime. Up to now, he couldn’t fall in love with any woman, nor could he give Su Hongxing such intense emotions.
“At least you’re honest,” Su Hongxing smiled faintly.
This might be considered a virtue of Ye Qilan. At least, he didn’t lie to her.
She felt that a man like Ye Qilan could never truly love a woman, and even he was aware of this fact.
“As long as you follow me obediently, I’ll treat you well. Or else…”
Su Hongxing was taken aback, “Or else, what? Ruin me?”
“Nothing so drastic. Those who aren’t loyal to me serve no purpose. Of course, they wouldn’t enjoy any benefits either,” Ye Qilan replied coolly.
“That’s funny. You haven’t been loyal to me, why should I be loyal to you? Ye Qilan, it’s not right to have such double standards,” At this moment, Su Hongxing felt that Ye Qilan was just a spoiled young master who didn’t even have a basic sense of right and wrong.
“You want to leave me?” Ye Qilan let go of Su Hongxing’s hand. The warm light in his eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only a bone-chilling coldness..
