Chapter 648: Chapter 648: If you want to repay me, use your body! _1
Ye Shiqing remained silent, his gaze profound and distant.
Under his scrutiny, Qiao Qiao averted her gaze: “No matter what, I have to thank you for your help.”
With that said, she walked past Ye Shiqing.
“Why?” Ye Shiqing’s voice echoed behind her.
Did she still hold onto hope for Ye Xiandong, or rather, was she still in love with Ye Xiandong, preventing her from getting a divorce?
“I just don’t want to get divorced, there’s no reason.”
She did not want to see Ye Xiandong getting through it easily, nor did she want Cao Shiyu to move on.
Perhaps more of it was guilt. After all, she was responsible for introducing Su Hongxing to Ye Qilan. Had it not been for her, Su Hongxing wouldn’t have suffered at Ye Qilan’s hands, ultimately losing her child and having to undergo a hysterectomy.
She, , was undeserving of happiness.
Now, everything that she was experiencing mirrored what Su Hongxing had been through, it was merely the cycle of karma and retribution.
Ye Shiqing stared at Qiao Qiao’s retreating silhouette, coldly saying, “If a woman doesn’t respect herself, how can she expect others to respect her? Qiao Qiao, this is your own path. How you decide to tread it is entirely up to you. But you have to understand, one can’t always make and repeat the same mistakes…”
Qiao Qiao abruptly turned back to face Ye Shiqing, “I heard that Second Brother still holds someone in his heart. It’s because of this person that Second Brother has maintained his single status for all these years. As someone who has been through this himself, Second Brother should understand that certain people and matters aren’t that easy to let go of. If this is the case for Second Brother, then it is the same for me! Regardless, I must thank Second Brother for his help, I am truly grateful.”
“What if I told you that I don’t want your gratitude, what I want is you. Would you be willing to give yourself to me?” Ye Shiqing said, his face twisted with a smile that seemed more like a sneer.

A subtle change swept over Qiao Qiao’s face, “Second Brother, please do not jest in this manner…”
Just as she saw Ye Shiqing rushing towards her, she tried to evade him but he followed her like a shadow: “What if I am not joking? What will your answer be? If you truly want to repay me, then do it with your body!”
With that, he leaned in to kiss her.
Quickly, Qiao Qiao pushed him away, avoiding his kiss.
She retreated two steps backward, her face darkening: “I thought you were a gentleman, Second Brother. I did not realise you harboured such vile thoughts. I misjudged you.”
She hurriedly walked back to the hotel. At first, she could hear Ye Shiqing’s footsteps behind her. It was only after she went upstairs and he didn’t follow that she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Thinking about the confrontation she had moments ago, she felt a little dazed. Perhaps, Ye Shiqing was just joking with her…
The next day, Sunday morning, Su Hongxing called Jiang Su. Jiang Su claimed to be working and had no time to return home.
Before Su Hongxing could inquire further, Jiang Su hung up hurriedly due to being busy.
From the sounds in the background on the phone call, it was clear that the place where Jiang Su was working was quite lively. She didn’t come home often as she was a boarding student and even on her days off, she claimed to be busy. Su Hongxing knew that Jiang Su had matured, but she still couldn’t help but worry.
Ye Qilan was on a business trip that day. Before he left, he had made a special trip to check on her and Little Pudding. Otherwise, she would’ve asked someone from Ye Qilan’s side to find out where exactly Jiang Su was working.
That day, Su Hongxing wasn’t feeling well, she had a nagging unease. Even the old lady Jiang claimed to feel restless.
At around nine in the evening, Su Hongxing was coaxing Little Pudding to sleep. The little one had recently taken a liking to giving her kisses and would obediently go to bed only after he had kissed her numerous times.
Just as she had managed to settle the persistent little one, her cell phone rang abruptly.
She quickly answered the call and left the bedroom.
An unfamiliar male voice rang out at the other end of the line, “Is this Miss Su Hongxing?”
