My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

All he could remember was that Su Hongxing’s face was chubby and round. Her eyes were beautifully shaped, and her skin was fair. Other than that, he couldn’t really see any traits of a femme fatale in her.

“Alright, you shouldn’t interfere. Don’t send women to the master recklessly in the future. I still believe that it will only be a matter of time before Su Hongxing takes a position of power. Remember to show her some respect when you see her next.” Age said, then headed off to rest.

The next morning, Ye Qilan suffered from a terrible hangover.

He remembered that there was an important matter to take care of today, one that he absolutely had to oversee in person, so he hurried back to the villa.

Upon entering the villa and seeing a house full of people, he slowed his steps, his gaze slightly concealed.

“Do you even know how to come home?! Look at you, what have you become?” Old Ye reprimanded Ye Qilan with his walking stick.

Ye Qilan lowered his head to look at himself, his clothes were crumpled. Because he had to rush over to take Su Hongxing to the hospital for her surgery, he hadn’t taken care of his appearance and was indeed looking rather unkempt.

“I heard that lately you’ve been either philandering or indulging in alcohol and gambling at the Red House. Ye Qilan, you’ve lost all of the Ye family’s face…”

Before Old Ye could finish his sentence, he saw Ye Qilan walk past him and head upstairs.

Su Hongxing, who was hiding upstairs, saw Ye Qilan approaching and immediately tried to flee.

“Su Hongxing, come with me!” Ye Qilan seized Su Hongxing’s hand and dragged her downstairs.

“That girl Su is carrying our Ye family’s offspring! How can you treat her so roughly?!” Old Ye, seeing Ye Qilan’s menacing demeanor, rushed forward to intervene.

Ye Qilan glared coldly at Su Hongxing who lowered her head guiltily.

She had told Old Ye that she was pregnant, but she hadn’t mentioned whose child it was. It was Old Ye who had jumped to conclusions, certain that the child was a progeny of the Ye family.

She thought that given Ye Qilan’s love for face-saving, he wouldn’t publicly state that the baby was Beichuan’s, right?

Now she could only delay the truth for as long as possible, until she could get away from Ye Qilan.

Cao Shiyu was also present and on hearing these words, immediately exchanged glances with Ye Ling.

Understanding her intention, Ye Ling took Old Ye’s arm: “Grandfather, what I heard yesterday was not like this…”

“Ye Ling, shut up! If you dare to say one more word, I will make sure you lose your ability to speak forever.” Ye Qilan glared at Ye Ling, his eyes were full of warning.

Her scalp tingling under his gaze, Ye Ling knew just how ruthless Ye Qilan could be. She didn’t dare to utter another word and obediently moved farther away.

Having heard from Cao Shiyu that there was certain deception in regard to the child that Su Hongxing was carrying, a gleam flashed across Du Qingyu’s eyes as she spoke with a smile, “It’s a good thing that Hongxing is pregnant. It has been a few years since the Ye family had such joyous news. How about we invite a doctor to come over and give Hongxing a check-up?”

Upon hearing these words, Su Hongxing was filled with distress: “I just had a health check-up two days ago, I’m absolutely alright.”

Just the night before, she had told Old Ye to come over alone. How would she have known that Du Qingyu and Cao Shiyu would also show up?

She even suspected that Ye Ling might have eavesdropped on her conversation with Liu Qingyin yesterday and then told Cao Shiyu about it.

Presumably Cao Shiyu had since joined forces with Du Qingyu, hence Du Qingyu now also knew that the child in her womb was Beichuan’s.

After all, Du Qingyu had arrived with Cao Shiyu this morning.
