Su Hongxing covered her nose and quickly jumped off the bed. Ye Qilan followed closely behind, dragging her into the bathroom.
He cornered her against the door, his voice cold as he demanded, “Why are you not worried about me at all?”
The other purpose of his act tonight was to test Su Hongxing’s reaction.
In the past, any of his former lovers would become jealous upon seeing him with a new woman.
Su Hongxing was just the opposite. No matter how many other women were around him, no matter how close he was with another woman, she always remained indifferent.
Even when he said today that he was going to sleep with another woman, she could watch as if nothing had happened.
Su Hongxing asked innocently, “Am I in a position to be worried?”
She, a wife who could be divorced at any moment, could be driven out penniless anytime.
“You’ve been like this for years, haven’t you? Your father was taken away by another woman, and you accepted it. Your mother abandoned you and went abroad, and you accepted it. Your childhood sweetheart was taken away by your half-sister, and you accepted it. Now that your husband might be taken away, you choose to accept it…”
“What else can I do if I don’t accept it? If I fight for them, would Zhou Peng give up his future, Cao Meiyu, and Zhou Luhe and come back to me? If I fight for Xiao Ji, would he divorce Zhou Luhe and choose to be with me? Or if 1 fight with your mistresses, could I keep you? Let me tell you, Ye Qilan, you’re not that important. I can even let go of Xiao Ji, let alone a scumbag like you?!”
Su Hongxing angrily shook off Ye Qilan and ran out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.
Overcome with emotion, she sprinted down the stairs, running a long distance. She felt a fire burning in her heart, threatening to consume her rationality.
In the end, she ran to the swimming pool and dove in headfirst.
The cold pool water quickly cooled her anger, and upon reflecting on the sequence of events just now, she suddenly realized that she might have fallen into Ye Qilan’s trap.
Ye Qilan’s rash behavior might have been premeditated. He just wanted to provoke her into revealing her true feelings and find out what she was really thinking.
She had been playing dumb for so long, but today, without any mental preparation, Ye Qilan had struck all her wounds which led to her emotions being manipulated by him.
But regretting now would be a bit late, she should consider how to appease Ye Qilan.
Ye Qilan washed away the nasty smell on his body, ordered Yan Zi to clean the master bedroom, and went to the study to call Sheng Yalun.
Sheng Yalun listened patiently.
Ye Qilan’s monologue contained two main points. One was that he became nauseous whenever he tried to get close to any woman other than Su Hongxing.
The other was how he could make Su Hongxing fall in love with him.
“You already have many women who love you, Su Hongxing won’t make a difference. Why are you so fixated on her?” Sheng Yalun, who had a soft spot for Su Hongxing, was determined to help her wherever he could.
“But I can’t touch any other woman except her. If she doesn’t fall in love with me, she might leave me at any moment, I can’t allow that to happen.” Ye Qilan highlighted the main issue.
Yes, he could like many women, but the only one he could touch was Su Hongxing.
Yet, Su Hongxing didn’t love him. The only way to tie a woman down was to make her fall deeply in love with him, to the point where she couldn’t live without him..
