Chapter 403: You’re Not Afraid of Embarrassment, I’ll Accompany You to the End!_1

“The whole nation knows you, Ye Qilan, were just engaged to Miss of Mo Family last week. How dare you claim Su Hongxing as your woman? Explain yourself. What has she received from you?! Ye Qilan, I forbid you from degrading her further! Even if you of the Ye Family don’t mind being disgraced, I, Cao Zhen, can accompany you till the end!”

With that, Cao Zhen left with a flounce of his sleeves.

Ye Qilan watched Cao Zhen’s retreating figure, his icy eyes narrowed.

That’s strange. Cao Zhen had always been proud of his reputation. Yet, now he’s making such a fuss over a girl he adopted halfway.

He didn’t even see Cao Zhen get this angry when he ran away from his wedding with Cao Shiyu.

“Age, investigate Cao Zhen’s past for me,” Ye Qilan ordered in a low voice.

“Sir, perhaps it’s better to restrain yourself. Don’t antagonize Cao Zhen. He’s not someone to mess with. Right now, you are not yet full-fledged and it’s not good to make such a powerful enemy.” Age paused, then added, “Sir, didn’t you already decide to abandon Miss Su? Now that her child has gone and she can no longer conceive, there’s no more value in her. Why should you…”

“Age, when did you become so chatty?!” Ye Qilan glanced at him coldly.

This time Age didn’t back down, bravely advising, “You’ve made up your mind to push away Miss Su, leaving no retreat for yourself. You should understand that at this point, there’s no chance for Miss Su to turn around. By keeping Miss Su by your side, you’re keeping a ticking bomb. Aren’t you afraid of getting bitten back, by causing more loss to Miss Su?”

Now that he had decided to push Su Hongxing away, why couldn’t he be utterly decisive?!

Su Hongxing was not like other women who admired Ye Qilan, she was hard to control.

Ye Qilan pressed his lips together, his eyebrows knitted slightly.

He knew every word Age said was true. If he had any sense, he should push on relentlessly.

“Don’t you find it strange, sir? Cao Shiyu hates Miss Su with so much intensity, how could she voluntarily divulge information about Miss Su to you? Moreover, Cao Zhen wouldn’t be so careless to let Cao Shiyu know where Miss Su is.”

Age voiced his doubt.

With all of Ye Qilan’s attention on Su Hongxing now, he couldn’t see the plot hidden beneath this.

Ye Qilan wouldn’t have been so careless in the past.

“Are you saying someone leaked the information about Su Hongxing to Cao Shiyu, just to get me to bring Su Hongxing home?” Suddenly, Ye Qilan’s heart sunk.

“Exactly. It was the same last time, and it’s the same this time. The other party knows the influence Miss Su has on you, and deliberately pushed Miss Su to your side. That’s why you’ve decided to push Miss Su away!”

Ye Qilan was always pragmatic, women were never his weakness.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

So when a woman appeared who could influence him, Ye Qilan’s enemies saw it clearly, and Ye Qilan himself also knew.

“I regret it…”

After a long time, Ye Qilan finally admitted softly.

Age did not know what Ye Qilan regretted, but Ye Qilan’s hesitation confirmed his bad feeling.

Su Hongxing wasn’t aware of the silent war between Ye Qilan and Cao Zhen. She was taking care of her health, eating, sleeping, or just lost in a daze.

Liu Qingyin was worried about Su Hongxing’s mental state.

Although Su Hongxing seemed perfectly normal, she was too silent. She barely spoke a few words a day.

It seemed like she was living in her world, somewhat in a daze.
