Ye Qilan quietly watched Su Hongxing’s retreating figure for a long while.
Even though Su Hongxing was plump and had a voluptuous figure, he still found her appealing to his eyes.
No matter what, he was taken with her.
“Who upset you?” Ye Qilan moved close to Su Hongxing, pulling her into his embrace.
Settling in his arms, Su Hongxing replied in a muffled tone, “I shouldn’t have lost my temper like that. After all, Cao Shiyu is your guest.”
She should be playing nice with Cao Shiyu; after all, she was still counting on Cao Shiyu to lure Ye Qilan away.
Only if Ye Qilan willingly moved on could she possibly break free from his control.
He was such a fickle and philandering man that she should find more cheerful women to keep him occupied, so he wouldn’t have time to toy with her!
“I actually thought your emotions just now were very genuine, more captivating than ever.” Ye Qilan gently pinched her chubby face, “Cao Shiyu is a woman from the Cao family, you liking her would be strange!”
When Su Hongxing heard this, she immediately became alert. What Ye Qilan was implying was that she had been too fake before. Had all her acting been seen through by him?
“She’s not only a woman from the Cao Family, she also wants to seduce you…” Su Hongxing stopped speaking abruptly halfway through her sentence.
Hearing this, Ye Qilan looked at Su Hongxing with deep eyes, asking uncertainly, “Are you jealous?”
“No, I could never fall for a playboy like you!” Su Hongxing ambiguously replied.
He wants to play-act, does he? She’d gladly play along with Ye Qilan.
Ye Qilan wishes for her to fall in love with him? That could be easily arranged. She’d pretend to be in love with him and make him let his guard down.
“But it’s actually not surprising for men like you, grown in such an environment, to be unfaithful. You’re rich, powerful, and attractive. I’ve come to accept this. As long as you don’t divorce me, I can tolerate you keeping as many women as you like out there! Back then, Xiao Ji treated me so nicely, even promised to love me forever. But what then? The moment he turned around, he got involved with Zhou Luhe. Why should I waste any more feelings on such men?” Su Hongxing added coldly.
Ye Qilan’s eyes narrowed as he watched Su Hongxing carefully, trying to detect any signs of lying.
Had she truly seen the light, or was she just putting on a show for him?
“Don’t look at me like that! Do you think I enjoy seeing you flanked by women on each arm? Ye Qilan, don’t overestimate me. If I asked you to leave Cao Shiyu for my sake, would you?” Su Hongxing calmly questioned.
Her question was met with a lengthy silence.
With an understanding nod, Su Hongxing continued: “Yeah, if I were you, I wouldn’t want to part with Cao Shiyu either. I’m not asking for much, just for you to give me the respect a wife deserves. As long as none of your women demean me, I’ll live with you well, and I will…”
Pausing, she added, “I will try to love you a little more, that’s the most I can do.”
Ye Qilan was lost for words, falling into silence.
He never used to think it was a problem to keep so many ex-lovers around, given that they were all willing to be with him, always clinging onto him despite knowing he had many girlfriends.
Over time, he felt that having one girlfriend or several didn’t make any difference.
It was their business to contest each other behind his back; in his presence, they were all quite generous and proper, never causing displeasure for him, which was enough for him.
But now, it seemed that he should show Su Hongxing, his wife, a little more respect..
