Chapter 372: Try a Different Woman? _1
Su Hongxing looked towards the distance with an indifferent expression, her entire demeanor tranquil, as if her soul had left her body.
Ye Qilan propped up her chin, forcing her to look directly at him. Her eyes looked as though they were enveloped in a thin veil of mist, as if she was looking at him but also not really seeing him.
Ye Qilan’s heart inexplicably clenched, a strange sense of pain emanating from his heart, infiltrating every inch of his body.
He dared not look into her eyes anymore and quickly walked out of the balcony.
Just as Liu Qingyin was about to enter her bedroom, she saw Ye Qilan hurrying out, quickly descending the stairs, like he was fleeing in panic.
Strange, did Ye Qilan encounter a setback with Su Hongxing?
She returned to her room, seeing Su Hongxing just sitting on the patio, sunbathing, appearing perfectly normal, she let out a sigh of relief.
After leaving the villa, Ye Qilan headed directly to the Red House.
The manager Chen was somewhat surprised to see Ye Qilan appear unexpectedly.
Having heard that Su Hongxing was carrying Ye Qilan’s child, shouldn’t he be loyally accompanying her as a first-time father?
“Old Chen, if a woman…”
Ye Qilan stopped himself. If a woman could cause him such annoyance and chaos, shouldn’t he discard her as far away as possible? Regrettably, this woman was carrying his child.
What was even more inconceivable was that he felt angered when Su Hongxing showed indifference towards him.
He suddenly felt like gouging out Su Hongxing’s eyes to stop her from looking at him with that distant and indifferent gaze.
General Manager Chen pricked up his ears, eager to hear more.
Was Ye Qilan troubled because of a woman?
“Sir, perhaps you’ve been without a woman for too long? Now that Miss Su is pregnant, perhaps you could try changing to another woman?” Manager Chen cautiously suggested.
However, Ye Qilan lost interest. “Not interested.”
He tolerated Su Hongxing’s body, but he felt discomfort with other women’s intimate touch.
Manager Chen wanted to persuade more, but at this moment Age handed Ye Qilan a phone: “It’s the old man.”
When Ye Qilan took the phone, of course, the old Ye’s intention was to get Ye Qilan to settle down as soon as possible.
Old Ye did not favor Su Hongxing. Even if Su Hongxing was carrying Ye Qilan’s child, her influence over Ye Qilan was something he wasn’t happy to see.
Since Ye Qilan himself resisted Su Hongxing as well, Old Ye wanted to divert his attention from her as quickly as possible. The best way to achieve this was to arrange some blind dates for him.
After browsing through the photos, Ye Qilan thought all the potential dates looked alike.
To go through the motions, he randomly picked one and agreed to meet up with her in two hours…
After finishing work, Cao Zhen came home to find his daughter Cao Shiyu and Guan Ya seated in the living room.
In recent years, Guan Ya’s health had been deteriorating and she rarely interfered in household matters. Even the important matter of Cao Shiyu’s future was being managed by Cao Zhen.
Guan Ya knew that Cao Zhen had married her because she was the daughter of the prominent Guan Family and that he loved another woman.
After so many years, even her initial affection for Cao Zhen had almost entirely faded away.
With age, she had learned to let go of many things, especially something as luxurious as love.
She was somewhat taken aback when she heard from her daughter that Cao Zhen intended to adopt Su Hongxing.
“Your health isn’t good, why don’t you rest earlier?” Cao Zhen sat down next to Guan Ya.
“Our daughter mentioned you wanting to adopt Su Hongxing, what’s that about? You know that Su Hongxing doesn’t get along with Shiyu, why would you still want to add more complications to our family?”
