Chapter 378: Qilan, Marry Me!_1
Ye Qilan instructed the servants to tidy up the chaotic living room and fixed his gaze on Su Gongxing’s face. “Stay at home, look after yourself, give birth to our child, and then I will let you go.”
His response was Su Hongxing’s cold and distant silhouette.
After standing in the living room for a while, Ye Qilan went out under the sun.
Mo Qiu silently followed him. After a while, she mustered up the courage and said, “Qilan, marry me!”
She wanted to marry Ye Qilan, wanted to bear his children just like Su Hongxing. Even if that was not possible, she didn’t mind, as long as she could marry him.
She was incredibly envious of Su Hongxing. Until now, only Su Hongxing had been able to get close to Ye Qilan and make him lose his composure.
Ye Qilan was generally a very disciplined person without excessive emotional reactions. He never used to drink heavily, but last night he let himself go just because of Su Hongxing’s indifferent attitude.
Mo Qiu had noticed, Su Hongxing was different from all the other women. In Ye Qilan’s heart, only Su Hongxing stands out.
Ye Qilan did not respond at all. Mo Qiu confronted him saying, “Although the Mo family may not compare to the Cao family, we do have social status, and I can be your virtuous wife. I’m not greedy, my desires are not excessive, I won’t mind if you don’t touch me after our wedding, you just have to make Su Hongxing’s child call me mother, I will treat him or her as my own. Would that be acceptable to you?”
“Your calculations are very precise. She bears the pain of pregnancy for ten months, and you want to claim her child as your own?” Ye Qilan swept a glance at Mo Qiu and walked past her.
Mo Qiu could not figure out Ye Qilan’s emotions. She lowered her voice, trailing behind him, “I only know that you’re eager to shake Su Hongxing off. You were never an emotionally soft person. Since you’ve decided to abandon Su Hongxing, why not be decisive about it?! Weren’t you trying to utterly humiliate Su Hongxing through me last night to end everything between you two?!”
Ye Qilan paused for a moment, without uttering a word.
Mo Qiu continued in a muffled voice, “Apart from Du Qingyu, I’ve spent the longest time with you. I know you the best. You were influenced by your grandfather from a young age, believing that women are trouble and men should accomplish great deeds, not be held back by emotional entanglements. Yet, Su Hongxing has this power over you. You lost the Ye Family because of her last time. You wanted to cut off all ties with Su Hongxing, but who would have thought that Su Hongxing would be pregnant at this crucial moment? That’s where your dilemma lies.”
If it weren’t for Su Hongxing carrying his child, Ye Qilan would have decisively cut ties with her.
Ye Qilan was always ruthless in the past, willing to abandon anything.
Last night, his initial plan was to cut off all relations with Su Hongxing, hence why he used Mo Qiu to humiliate her.
If this had been the past, Ye Qilan would have executed his plan cleanly without any hesitation.
But to his surprise, Ye Qilan couldn’t bear to do it, and he really got drunk, and really lost his sanity.
Just recently, upon hearing that Xiao Ji still cared about Su Hongxing, Ye Qilan’s jealousy spilled over, and he chased Xiao’s mother out of the villa.
The old Ye Qilan had no weaknesses, but now, Su Hongxing is his Achilles’ heel, which is precisely why Ye Qilan is so tormented.
“Qilan, if you can’t bring yourself to do it, let me be the bad guy. For you, I am willing to do anything. I only wish for the empty title of Mrs. Ye Qilan.”
