Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Blood Roses_1 Chapter 791: Chapter 791: Blood Roses_1 “I suspect that it was Liu Yuan.” Ye Qilan’s eyes darkened slightly, his expression serious. “Retrieve the flowers you discarded in the trashcan for me; I need to inspect the bouquet of roses carefully to see if there is anything wrong.”
Thinking that Liu Yuan might have visited Su Hongxing, Ye Qilan’s heart rate accelerated.
Liu Yuan is a pervert. His sudden approach towards Su Hongxing must conceal some ulterior motive.
Soon, someone brought the discarded bouquet back to Ye Qilan. He smelled it, and besides the aroma of flowers, there seemed to be another scent.
When he rubbed the petals hard, he found his hand stained red.
He smelled it again, and then his face suddenly changed: “It’s not just the fragrance of roses, but also the smell of blood. This red is stained with blood. If I’m not mistaken, it must be Liu Yuan!”
Upon hearing that the roses were stained with blood, Age quickly placed them in a basin. Soon, the water in the basin turned red with blood.
“What a pervert Liu Yuan is!” Age exclaimed under his breath.
“Don’t tell Amou about this for now, I don’t want her to worry. Starting today, deploy more people to ensure her safety. After taking down Zhong Haoran, Liu Yuan must harbor resentment. He might approach Amou and harm her.”
Even as Ye Qilan spoke, his unease remained. “Forget it. From now on, let Amou stay with me. She can’t be half a step away.”
Now, he trusts no one but himself.
Having decided this, he stood up, intending to bring Su Hongxing home.
Before she finished work, Su Hongxing saw Ye Qilan rushing in, looking flustered.
“Starting today, you’re my personal secretary! That’s an order; you can’t refuse!” Ye Qilan didn’t bother with pleasantries, and issued a final order.
Su Hongxing looked at him with bewilderment. Seeing his stern expression, she asked cautiously: “Did something happen?”
“I just had a very bad dream. After getting Zhong Haoran out of the way, I’m afraid Liu Yuan will retaliate against you. The best way is to keep you by my side.” Ye Qilan held Su Hongxing’s hand tightly: “Amou, this time listen to me. We can do things your way for lesser matters.”
Su Hongxing originally didn’t want to agree, but Ye Qilan’s serious expression made her hesitant to risk Little Pudding’s safety.
In the end, she nodded: “Alright.”
Ye Qilan felt touched seeing Su Hongxing agree so readily: “Why are you so good?”
“Daddy, I’m also very good,” Little Pudding, feeling ignored, interjected.
“Yes, you and your mother are both my good babies. Let’s go home.” Ye Qilan held Little Pudding in one arm and wrapped his other arm around Su Hongxing’s waist, and they left the office.
Su Hongxing yawned involuntarily. Seeing her state, Ye Qilan asked, “Didn’t you rest well at noon?”
As far as he knew, Su Hongxing had slept for two hours at noon, so why was she still tired?
Su Hongxing shook her head: “Maybe I’m tired from sitting for too long.” She had indeed been feeling sleepy these past few days, which even she found strange.
If you say she wasn’t getting enough sleep, she was actually sleeping more than ever, yet she was always feeling sleepy.
“In the future, as my personal secretary, you can sleep whenever you want.” Ye Qilan looked at Su Hongxing with affection.
Su Hongxing yawned again. As soon as she got in the car, she quickly fell asleep leaning on the back of the seat.
Not until they had arrived at Qingmu Garden did Ye Qilan notice that Su Hongxing was still fast asleep in the car, he couldn’t help but avert his gaze. What was wrong with this girl, how could she sleep so deeply in the car?
He just assumed that Su Hongxing hadn’t had a good rest the night before, hence her excessive sleepiness.
