Mo Li looked at Ye Qilan and said, “Mr. Ye, you’ve heard the phrase ‘spilled water can’t be collected back’, haven’t you?”
How could Ye Qilan assume, after the way he hurt Su Hongxing, that she would willingly return to his arms?
Back then, Su Hongxing was lucky to have escaped death at Ye Qilan’s hands. But that doesn’t mean she lives only to get entangled with him again.
Ye Qilan paused for a moment before saying, “I will show you that spilled water can be collected.”
If he could let Su Hongxing go, he would have done it long ago. Why would he wait until now?
Mo Li may be excellent and could potentially bring Su Hongxing happiness, but Ye Qilan will never give up on his love to make way for another man.
Not in this life, nor the next.
Ye Qilan turned to Su Hongxing and whispered in her ear, “I’ll take the child away. If you miss her, go to Qingmu Garden to see her. And don’t do anything foolish. You need to know, you can’t escape from my grasp in this lifetime. Even in death, you must die in my arms!”
Su Hongxing shivered, looking at Ye Qilan in disbelief.
Yet, Ye Qilan gazed at her with deep affection: “Just one day without seeing you, and I miss you so much. Do you think I can let go of you?”
Even if the entire world claims they can’t rekindle their past relationship, he won’t accept it as fate.
He will try everything. If softness doesn’t work, he’ll get tough. If being tough doesn’t work, he’ll become gentle again and if all else fails, he’ll use both simultaneously.
He only hated himself for not being able to make her fall in love with him.
There probably aren’t any other man and woman as awkward as he and Su Hongxing in this world.
This woman didn’t even have the chance to fall in love with him before she started hating him.
Ye Qilan left, and all the people he brought with him left too.
Su Hongxing stood stunned for a long time until Mo Li gently patted her shoulder. Struggling to gather her spirits, she said, “Let’s eat, don’t let my mood spoil everyone’s appetite.”
Everyone could see Su Hongxing was distraught. Everyone could also see that Ye Qilan genuinely liked Su Hongxing.
But they were not the ones involved, they couldn’t comprehend Su Hongxing’s feelings.
In matters of the heart, it’s like drinking water; only the drinker knows whether it’s hot or cold.
The pleasant gathering had taken a turn due to the sudden intrusion and subsequent departure of Ye Qilan.
Seeing Su Hongxing in low spirits, Mo Li quickly exchanged a few words with Mr. Jiao, then took Su Hongxing out of the hotel.
Mo Li did not take Su Hongxing straight home but drove her to the riverside.
Su Hongxing sat in the car not wanting to get out. She had a lot on her mind and didn’t know how to confide in others. She desperately needed someone to vent to.
Mo Li sat quietly beside her, not disturbing her.
“Mo Li, if I tell you that I once loved Ye Qilan deeply, would you find it ridiculous? Moreover, my love for him isn’t a matter of this life.” After a long silence, Su Hongxing broke the silence.
Mo Li looked at Su Hongxing intently. After a pause, he answered, “I believe everything you say.”
There were tears in Su Hongxing’s eyes. She urgently needed someone to confide in, “I don’t know why I’m so linked with him. In my first life, we were married for three years, he cheated on me, divorced me but still wouldn’t let me go. In the end, I lost the baby and committed suicide by jumping off a building…”
At the end, she smiled mournfully: “In all my reincarnations, I have experienced too many separations between life and death. Sometimes I even think, this life I gave birth to Little Pudding, met you, maybe I can change my own destiny.”
But Ye Qilan still didn’t want to let go of her.
