Chapter 258: Trapped Beast_1
Xiaole saw Su Hongxing and awkwardly smiled, “Are you hungry, Miss Su?”
“Is it Ye Qilan who asked you to monitor me?” Su Hongxing raised an eyebrow and asked.
Xiaole hesitated, “Last night the master asked me to stay with you and try to fulfill any of your requests, but…”
“But with the condition that I cannot leave the Apricot Garden, isn’t it?” Su Hongxing gave a cold laugh.
Xiaole scratched her head and remained silent in response.
“Then did he state how long he intends to keep me under house arrest?” Su Hongxing asked calmly.
She pondered if she was under house arrest in the Apricot Garden by Ye Qilan, had he already reverted to being the former Ye Si?
“No, it’s not house arrest. The master said, the Apricot Garden is Miss Su’s territory, this is your home, you’re coming home.” Xiaole said this, obviously lacking confidence.
This was clearly house arrest, yet Ye Qilan insisted it was not.
Ye Qilan also instructed that no matter what happened, Su Hongxing could not leave the Apricot Garden, and that no one, including himself, should know Su Hongxing’s whereabouts.
She couldn’t understand what was going on. It was clearly Ye Qilan who kept Su Hongxing at the Apricot Garden, so why couldn’t she report any of Su Hongxing’s circumstances to Ye Qilan?
With her brainpower, she couldn’t figure out the trickery involved.
“I miss him and want to call him, where is your phone?” Su Hongxing’s voice interrupted Xiaole’s thoughts.
Xiaole hurriedly shook her head, “My phone is left at the villa in Taicheng. The Apricot Garden has no communication equipment, my apologies.”
There was a television but no computers or internet. In other words, the place was almost completely isolated, it was nearly impossible for Su Hongxing to communicate with the outside world.
Su Hongxing stared at Xiaole unblinkingly. Just when Xiaole thought Su Hongxing was going to charge at her, Su Hongxing turned around and went upstairs, followed by the sound of a door closing.
Xiaole stood where she was for a long time, she too, was unaccustomed to this place. There was no internet and no phone, she had no way to contact anyone. It was not only Su Hongxing who was trapped in the Apricot Garden, but her too.
Over there, Ye Qilan had been looking for Su Hongxing all morning and was uneasy when he couldn’ t find her.
“Xiaole, Xiaole!!” Ye Qilan shouted a few times, but there was no trace of Xiaole.
Ye Ling and Cao Shiyu heard the commotion and hurriedly came over.
“Brother Si is looking for Xiaole?” Ye Ling asked curiously.
” Where is Xiaole?” Ye Qilan turned his gaze towards Ye Ling, “Ye Ling, have you seen Su Hongxing?”
Ye Ling was taken aback and shook his head honestly, “I’m not her nanny, I can’t watch her all the time.”
Ye Qilan’s face fell. He thought of a possibility. Had Su Hongxing run away?
He asked Age about Su Hongxing’s whereabouts, but Age simply looked at him in surprise, “Didn’t you take Miss Su away last night, sir?”
Even Xiaole had also left with Su Hongxing. So why was Ye Qilan asking him now?
Ye Qilan’s expression grimaced, “Are you sure I was the one who took her away?”
“Absolutely, Xiaole was also with Miss Su. You didn’t allow us to follow, saying you wanted to take Miss Su somewhere.” Age stuttered.
Ye Qilan stood still.
Age said that it was he who took Su Hongxing away and Xiaole was with them. So why couldn’t he remember any of this?
His memory remained frozen on the moment Su Hongxing was hit by the car. He remembered pushing her away…
