Chapter 278: 278: It feels good to be beaten by her _1

Seeing Cao Shiyu in such a pitiful state, Su Hongxing couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Su Hongxing, you’re going too far!” Ye Ling rushed over to help Cao Shiyu and then turned to glare at Su Hongxing.

Su Hongxing looked at the two self-important heiresses, her smile fading. “I’m just a commoner, a vicious and brutal woman who doesn’t know her own strength. So, control your loose tongues and don’t provoke me. Didn’t Ye Qilan tell you already? I have a bad temper. It doesn’t matter who you are, if you piss me off, I won’t hesitate to hit you!”

She had come to understand that these so-called heiresses were beneath contempt, lacking any sense of right and wrong. There was no point in wasting words with such women.

If they annoyed her, she would simply take action.

Ye Ling was about to say something, but Cao Shiyu stopped her: “Xiaoling, I’m fine. Don’t stand up for me anymore, I don’t want to cause you more trouble.”

Su Hongxing had no interest in watching Cao Shiyu’s nauseating act. She vented her anger, then cheerfully went upstairs.

As she approached the staircase, she passed by Ye Qilan.

Two seconds later, she turned back and suddenly slapped his left cheek.

Ye Qilan hadn’t expected Su Hongxing to hit him out of the blue, so he was taken aback by the blow.

“Your face annoys me,” Su Hongxing stated, before slapping his right cheek. “Now it’s symmetrical, much more pleasing.”

That damned Ye Qilan, in their previous life, she had married him only for him to cheat on her. She should have struck him down!

This time, Su Hongxing swiftly slipped back into her room before Ye Qilan could react, locking the door and leaving him outside.

Ye Qilan touched his throbbing face, feeling like he should be angry. But oddly, he felt satisfied.

All of which was preferable to the unsettling feeling of not being able to find her or see her these past few days.

He figured he must be seriously sick…

Ye Qilan wanted to sleep with Su Hongxing, but she had locked the door and showed no intent to open it.

He came to the conclusion that he should remove all the locks from the doors the next day.

When Su Hongxing opened her door the next day, she saw a locksmith at work.

Ye Qilan had been waiting for her for a long time. Seeing her come out, he immediately greeted her, “Come, accompany me to work.”

Su Hongxing shook off his hand and said, “I want to stay at home.”

She was not his secretary, why should she go to work with him? Furthermore, he was getting married, how could he still be in the mood for work?

“No, you have to be with me!” Ye Qilan grabbed her hand again.

“Aren’t you annoying? I already told you that I won’t accompany you to work. Let Cao Shiyu accompany you. I’m weak, I need to rest at home! You wouldn’t want me to get sick from overexertion and end up dying, would you?” Su Hongxing tried reasoning with Ye Qilan.

She was running out of time, she had to find a way to contact Beichuan. She was more interested in knowing if they were sticking to the original plan.

Ye Qilan thought Su Hongxing had a point, “Alright, I’ll work from home today and spend time with you!”

Before Su Hongxing could object, Ye Qilan added: “If you’re eager to get rid of me, I’ll suspect you’re up to something mischievous!”

Su Hongxing pushed Ye Qilan away and spoke coldly: “What I want to say is, Ye Qilan, your face sickens me!”

Why the hell had she loved this man in her previous life? She must have been out of her mind to marry him, confined to their home while he enjoyed himself outside.
