My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

The room was very quiet, so quiet that it seemed they could hear each other’s breath.

Cao Shiyu was anxious. It had been five minutes since she asked her question, but Ye Qilan hadn’t given her a reply yet.

If it were any other day, she would have gracefully left the bedroom, refusing to stoop to the level of fighting over a man. But with Su Hongxing posing a potential threat, she had no choice but to speed things up. Ideally, she wanted to be Ye Qilan’s woman before they got married.

She was eager to take the next step with Ye Qilan.

With that thought in mind, she gritted her teeth and climbed onto Ye Qilan’s bed.

She gazed at his handsome face, which revealed no emotions. Since he wasn’t mad, did that mean he had implicit consent?

At that moment, she plucked up the courage to reach for his pajama collar. Due to excitement and timidness, her slender fingers were trembling slightly as they slid inside his pajamas, coming into contact with his solid chest—

Ye Qilan opened his eyes, his emotionless gaze on her showed no hint of desire.

Under his watchful gaze, Cao Shiyu withdrew her hand, daring not to overstep. Like a child who had misbehaved, she lowered her head, “I just like Brother Si too much, I couldn’t help but…”

Couldn’t help but make a move on him. Still, he was acting like he was untouchable. Would this continue even after their marriage?

She couldn’t believe that after their wedding, he still wouldn’t touch her?

They had already set a date for their wedding, yet he had never even kissed her. What sort of betrothed couple acted like this?

“A woman should respect herself! Shiyu, in this aspect, you fall far short compared to Hongxing,” Ye Qilan closed his eyes once again, “Remember to close the door when you go out.”

Cao Shiyu clenched her fists, greatly dissatisfied with Ye Qilan’s words.

If Su Hongxing truly respected herself, she wouldn’t have stooped so low as to become Ye Qilan’s lover. Ye Qilan was blatantly telling lies.

Since she didn’t dare cause a scene in front of Ye Qilan, Cao Shiyu resolved to take her anger out on Su Hongxing. She left the master bedroom and headed to Su Hongxing’s quarters.

Su Hongxing, who had been asleep, was roused by the ringtone of her phone. After seeing the caller ID display Cao Shiyu’s name, her sleepiness disappeared and she answered the call quickly.

“Su Hongxing, come to the poolside. I have something to discuss with you!” Cao Shiyu hung up without giving Su Hongxing a chance to speak.

Su Hongxing looked at her phone, a bitter smile on her face.

Brilliant, the foolish woman Cao Shiyu was taking the initiative to send herself over. Su Hongxing decided she would oblige Cao Shiyu and play along.

Composing herself, Su Hongxing dialed to the neighbouring room. After a short while, the call connected and Ye Qilan’s deep and dull voice filled her ears, “What’s up?”

From what he knew of her, she wouldn’t call without a reason. This meant that she must have something to discuss with him.

Su Hongxing got straight to the point, “Shiyu just called me and asked to meet by the pool. Initially, I wanted to coexist peacefully with her. However, whether she’s willing to make peace with me, I cannot be sure. If she goes overboard, I am afraid I might lose my temper. I just wanted to let you know in case it happens. And if I manage to bear with it, you ought to know I am enduring it for your sake.”

Having finished what she wanted to say, Su Hongxing ended the call. She then straightened her sleepwear and gracefully descended the stairs to meet Cao Shiyu by the pool.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as she arrived, Cao Shiyu rushed towards her and demanded, “Su Hongxing, stay away from Brother Si!”
