Chapter 521: Chapter 521: A harsh slap on her face…_1
When Su Hongxing knocked on the door and entered, Ye Qilan was immersed in work.
The office was spacious and bright, filled with every necessary piece of equipment, attracting in a way that was both grand and minimalist.
A warm sunbeam fell upon Ye Qilan from behind, bathing him in a warm glow that highlighted his charming and handsome features.
Now a man in his thirties, he was wise and composed, radiating a distinct aura of nobility from his core.
After dealing with the documents in his hand, Ye Qilan took a sip of tea and cast his ink jade-like gaze upon Su Hongxing.
His eyes lingered for a few seconds longer on her ample chest, making him suddenly feel a bit dry in his throat and a tightening in his abdomen.
Trying to avoid his wolfish stare, Su Hongxing subtly shifted her body, only to find that Ye Qilan’s gaze was now fixed on her hips, which infuriated her.
“I’ve been drinking Apricot flower tea daily. Would you like a sip?”
Ye Qilan posed this question in an entirely serious tone, but Su Hongxing couldn’t help but sense the flirtatious undertone.
She sobered up, “Why did you call me in?”
Ye Qilan picked up a contract and took a few slow steps towards Su Hongxing, directing her to sit on the couch. “See what is written in the contract.”
Upon receiving the contract, Su Hongxing skimmed through it, “What is it that you want? Just say it.”
“Let’s stick to business. This is the contract you signed, isn’t it?”
Su Hongxing frowned, “I will assign people to follow up on the bar street project in S City. There won’t be any breach of contract.”
“You’re mistaken. The S City project has nothing to do with you. I am planning to set up a bar street in Taicheng, and this project will be personally supervised by you. This is an additional contract. As a businessperson, your goal is to make a profit. I trust you won’t let money become an obstacle.”
As he spoke, Ye Qilan handed another contract to Su Hongxing.
However, Su Hongxing casually tossed the contract back without reading it, “Consider it as a breach of contract, how much do I have to pay?”
Leaning casually on the couch, Ye Qilan replied, “It seems that I would only get the chance to work with you if I acquire Ace. You might argue that you could just quit and get a higher position at another company. But let me tell you wherever you go, I’ll acquire it.”
He gently tapped on Su Hongxing’s shoulder, “Think it over, you have plenty of time. Maybe your best career move would be to become my wife.”
The thing Su Hongxing hated most was Ye Qilan doing whatever he pleased. After all these years, he hadn’t changed at all.
She furiously threw the contract in Ye Qilan’s face, “I’ll sell the company, and then Ace and I will have no connections. Buy it if you want, but don’t threaten me. I’m not buying it!”
As she stormed towards the office door, Ye Qilan suddenly said, “What about Liu Qingyin? Are you going to disregard her fate too?”
Su Hongxing slowed her steps. Returning to Taicheng, she tried not to think of Liu Qingyin. But the fact remained that ignoring it did not mean the problem didn’t exist.
That was just what Ye Qilan had been waiting for, he smiled, “Of course, whatever you want, I’ll deliver. She’s on her way back to Taicheng, do you want to wait for her here? As sisters who haven’t seen each other for years, you should have a lot to talk about.”
Su Hongxing acknowledged the trap Ye Qilan had set up.
He had probably anticipated that she would resist, hence using Liu Qingyin as leverage. As long as Liu Qingyin was in his grasp, she would never be free of him.
“Once Qingyin is here, if you want to take her home, I have no objections.”
Ye Qilan’s words confused Su Hongxing. Would he hand over Liu Qingyin to her that easily?
“But you should know this. Liu Yuan has never given up and is waiting for a chance to take her away. You should be prepared.” Ye Qilan added.
Su Hongxing chose to remain silent.
An hour later, Ye Qilan told her Liu Qingyin was downstairs, arousing a wave of both excitement and anxiety in Su Hongxing.
It wasn’t until the office door opened and Liu Qingyin stood at the entrance, backlit by the light.
Su Hongxing watched as Liu Qingyin steadily approached. Three years had passed, and it seemed Liu Qingyin hadn’t really changed, a sweet smile was still on her face.
Just as Su Hongxing was about to speak, Liu Qingyin quickly closed the distance and suddenly planted a heavy slap across her face.
The force of the slap made Su Hongxing’s fair face swell instantly, turning a startling shade of red…
