Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Ten miles Apricot Forest: He wants to perform, she will accompany him_1
Ye Qilan clearly knew her identity as Su Hongxing. He also knew she was playing two roles, Moumou and Mianmian, but he didn’t expose her, keeping her on edge.
No matter what game Ye Qilan was intending to play, her priority was to become a woman claimed by a reputable man. Surely, Mo Li was the right candidate for this.
From her subtle probing earlier, she was fairly certain that Ye Qilan was not suffering from amnesia, and that he knew who she was.
This meant, her war with Ye Qilan had silently begun.
“Oh, you’re shy about it. Having a boyfriend is a good thing. There’s no need to feel embarrassed,” Xiaofei’s comment further cooled the already frosty atmosphere in the car.
Even though she was a bit slow to react, Xiaofei also recognized the stifling atmosphere in the car. She dared not speak up, fearing she might upset Ye Qilan.
However, on the surface, Ye Qilan seemed entirely unaffected.
Once they arrived at the construction site, Xiaofei trailed behind Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing, muttering to herself in disappointment.
As soon as they got out of the car, Ye Qilan, as if performing a trick, brought a sun hat over and put it on the ugly woman.
She didn’t understand why Ye Qilan would care for a woman like Moumou so much.
Ahead was the construction site where two workers were carrying rocks.
The light in Ye Qilan’s eyes flickered suddenly. “Xiaofei, we’re short-handed here. Why don’t you help out?” he said.
Xiaofei was stunned, “Mr. Ye, I don’t understand…”
“Experience leads to real knowledge. Don’t you need some hands-on experience?” Ye Qilan cut off Xiaofei. “Or is it that your company only hires people that are all show and no go?”
Under Ye Qilan’s stare, Xiaofei’s heart trembled.
She glanced at her dress and high heels. Despite her reluctance, she could only start loading some cargo.
Yes, became a laborer. She, the chief designer, had fallen to the status of a laborer while the ugly woman was personally attended by Ye Qilan.
Not only was Xiaofei unhappy with this, but Su Hongxing was also uncomfortable.
She didn’t understand what Ye Qilan was up to.
As soon as they arrived at the construction site, Ye Qilan took her on a luxury golf cart. Besides the driver, only she and Ye Qilan were on the cart. She had a small table in front of her with snacks, fruits, and beverages. Everything that she could name was there.
And Ye Qilan was by her side, taking care of her personally, making her uncomfortable.
She was not a fool. Seeing what was happening, she realized that Ye Qilan didn’t seem to intend on hiding anything. His current attitude was a clear indication towards some hidden intentions.
But since he wasn’t voicing his thoughts, she continued to play dumb.
In any case, if he wanted to play the game, she would accompany him and see how long he could keep this up.
“You can name this bar street,” Ye Qilan turned to Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing pretended not to hear.
This was his business. Why would it matter to her? She suspected now that Ace was chosen as the contractor simply because of Ye Qilan’s personal bias.
“Or should it be named – Apricot Forest, what do you think?” Ye Qilan suggested again casually.
Su Hongxing turned to look at him, only to be met with the sight of the base of his throat. His collar was open quite wide, revealing his well-defined chest. Under the sun, it shimmered enticingly. She found it both sexy and provoking.
She silently cursed in her heart and quickly averted her gaze.
Was Ye Qilan attempting to seduce her with his attractiveness?
She rashly stuffed a few mangosteens into her mouth, trying to suppress the fire inside her.
Seeing her with fruit juice all over her mouth, Ye Qilan reached out with a tissue to wipe it for her. She tried to avoid him, but his hand followed her like a shadow.
