My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

After comforting Zhou Luhe for a while and seeing her drift back to sleep, Cao Meiyu called Zhou Peng out of the ward: “Call that woman Su Hongxing over right now!”

Zhou Peng didn’t respond, and seeing his silence, Cao Meiyu flew into a rage: “If you won’t call, I will!”

Ye Qilan, hearing the relentless ringing of the mobile phone and seeing that it was Cao Meiyu, asked Su Hongxing: “Do you want to answer it?”

Su Hongxing took her phone from Ye Qilan, but did not rush to answer.

Ye Qilan, deep in thought, offered: “Shall I answer it for you?”

Su Hongxing let the phone ring, “No hurry, I’ll wait for her to call a few more times before I answer.”

Cao Meiyu was calling to confront and blame her, she wanted to let Cao Meiyu’s temper simmer.

On the other end, Cao Meiyu made several calls in succession, but Su Hongxing did not answer, which enraged Cao Meiyu to no end. If Su Hongxing was before her, she would have torn Su Hongxing’s face to shreds.

Finally, on the fifth call, the call connected.

An extremely exasperated Cao Meiyu immediately started cursing: “Su Hongxing, you wretch-”

“What an excellent upbringing the Cao family has. Indeed, like mother, like daughter.” It was Ye Qilan’s calm and gentle voice coming through from the other end of the phone.

“Ye Qilan, how dare you treat my daughter like this?!” Upon hearing that it was Ye Qilan, Cao Meiyu shouted in rage.

“It’s because Zhou Luhe’s disgusting face displeases me; you annoy me, and I can pull your teeth out just the same,” Ye Qilan responded calmly.

“You dare?!” Cao Meiyu was so furious she was gasping for breath.

Ye Qilan let out a deep chuckle, until the laughter gradually faded, he said slowly: “Cao Meiyu, you can come over now, see if I dare to lay a hand on you!”

Cao Meiyu was momentarily short of breath, she quickly remembered that she was supposed to be asking for Su Hongxing, “Put Su Hongxing on the phone!”

“The person who had Zhou Luhe’s teeth pulled was me. If it wasn’t for Hongxing stepping in, Zhou Luhe’s teeth would have already been completely pulled out by me. You should be thanking Hongxing for being so kind; it’s her who saved Zhou Luhe. On what grounds are you here to confront us?”

After a pause, Ye Qilan added calmly: “Cao Meiyu, you’d better listen well. Hongxing is mine; she wears my label, Ye Si’s. If you dare to harm her or cause her the slightest harm, I will make you wish you were dead. Even the entire Cao Family, I will wipe them all out! That’s all I have to say, remember it.”

Because it was on speaker, Su Hongxing heard clearly the conversation between Cao Meiyu and Ye Qilan.

She looked at Ye Qilan’s face in a daze, thinking he must have done it on purpose.

He knew she hated him, yet he sought to dissolve her hatred in this way, thinking that she could continue to casually be his lover, bear his children…

Ye Qilan looked up to meet Su Hongxing’s stunned gaze.

He sighed softly, pulling her to sit on his lap, and said softly: “Don’t be scared, Cao Meiyu and her daughter Zhou Luhe dare not do anything to you, I will do my utmost to protect you.”

He wasn’t able to be a part of the past twenty years of her life, but he hoped that in the next one year, or ten years, or even the rest of his life, he could be by her side. When others bully her, he would stand up for her, and shield her from the world.
