“At least you know your place.” Ye Qilan agreed with her reasoning. He found it laughable that Su Hongxing, a powerless and penniless woman, would even attempt to compete with him.
At that moment, Ye Qilan felt that he had been overly suspicious.
Even if Su Hongxing did indeed harbor intentions to outmaneuver him, she simply wouldn’t be able to achieve her goal.
After dispelling Ye Qilan’s doubts, Su Hongxing’s attention was drawn to Xiao Ji, who stood outside the villa.
If she doesn’t go out and meet him, given Xiao Ji’s stubbornness, he might ring the doorbell all night. It would be better to step outside and dismiss him once and for all.
Besides, she would be able to gauge Ye Qilan’s reaction. Why not?
Having made up her mind, she was about to leave when Ye Qilan grabbed her arm and eyed her coldly, “What are you up to?”
“I’m just going to chat with Xiao Ji for a bit and then I will be back.” Su Hongxing brushed off Ye Qilan’s hand.
Next thing she knew, Ye Qilan pulled her waist and dragged her upstairs, grumbling, “What is there to talk about with him -”
He disliked Xiao Ji and disliked the idea of Su Hongxing meeting him even more.
“Ye Qilan, I’ll just chat with him for a bit, dismiss him, and be back soon. It won’t take long.” Su Hongxing forcefully freed herself from Ye Qilan’s grip and sprinted away.
As Ye Qilan watched her disappear, he couldn’t help but think of Su Hongxing as a nimble fat woman. So big yet she could run so fast.
Standing in front of the surveillance monitor, he wondered if Su Hongxing would cheat on him behind his back. However, it seemed like she had anticipated this. She pulled Xiao Ji away from the surveillance camera’s view. Su Hongxing gripped Xiao Ji’s arm and led him a bit further away. Making sure that Ye Qilan wouldn’t snoop, she turned to Xiao Ji and said, “Don’t come here again. This is Ye Qilan’s territory. I don’t want my life to become difficult because of you.”
“Come with me!” Xiao Ji commanded in a deep voice.
Su Hongxing slapped Xiao Ji’s hand away with a loud ‘smack,’ creating an especially piercing sound in the quiet night.
She freed herself from Xiao Ji’s grasp and looked at him coldly, “What part of what 1 said do you not understand? From the moment you married Zhou Luhe, we have lived in different worlds. You have no right to dictate my life. Whatever path I choose, I will see it through to the end!”
No matter the cost, she was willing.
“Xingxing, you are not this kind of person. Ye Qilan isn’t good for you. How can you degrade yourself for a man like him?!” Xiao Ji looked at Su Hongxing with a broken heart.
This was the girl he grew up with from childhood. She always had a straightforward mindset and simple desires. How did such a girl end up as Ye Qilan’s mistress?
Is it because he hadn’t cherished her, that heaven is punishing him ?
“Am I not allowed to be happy?!” Su Hongxing retreated a few steps away from Xiao Ji and added faintly, “Don’t come to find me for such things in the future. Ye Qilan won’t like it. If he’s unhappy, my life becomes hard. If you wish to see me tormented, you’d be happier, feel free to harass me in the future.”
Having said her piece, she left without looking back.
Only Xiao Ji remained, standing rooted to the spot, as if turned to stone.
That night, Xiao Ji stayed outside Ye Qilan’s villa, standing the whole night.
The next morning, as Su Hongxing sat in Ye Qilan’s car, she could still see a distraught Xiao Ji.
“Your ex-boyfriend is quite the passionate one, huh?” Ye Qilan also saw Xiao Ji and sneered, “With an ex-boyfriend this passionate, why would he abandon you for Zhou Luhe?”
