Capítulo 1524: Chapter 1524: Jealousy (6)
Ye Qilan naturally didn’t know that Du Qingyu had already considered him her personal property and was determined to have him. As soon as he returned to Qingmu Garden, he looked everywhere for Su Hongxing’s figure, only to find out that Su Hongxing was even later than him.
About ten minutes later, Su Hongxing returned home and was immediately enveloped in Ye Qilan’s embrace.
It took Su Hongxing quite some effort to push Ye Qilan away: “What are you doing?!”
To be greeted with such an enthusiastic hug right at the doorstep was too much.
“I was startled just now and needed your hug to calm my nerves!” Ye Qilan joked.
Hearing this, Su Hongxing became interested and upon further inquiry, her expression turned serious: “You better not underestimate her. Du Qingyu is taking the initiative now, you need to be careful.”
Cao Shiyu was already a cautionary tale. What’s more, Du Qingyu’s tactics were superior to Cao Shiyu’s. If Cao Shiyu could cause a stir, then Du Qingyu was that much more formidable.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let her succeed. My body and heart are yours!” Ye Qilan smiled gently at Su Hongxing.
Qiao Qiao, listening on the side, rolled her eyes. Ye Qilan really was two-faced, pretending so much outside, yet in front of Su Hongxing, he turned into a loyal dog, spouting love words effortlessly.
Su Hongxing felt embarrassed under Ye Qilan’s straightforward gaze. She lightly coughed and said in a low voice, “Don’t take it too lightly. Du Qingyu is not easy to deal with, you have to be careful.”
“If you’re not assured, come with me to and from work in the future. If I’m with you all the time, she won’t have the chance to make a move, don’t you think?” Ye Qilan said, not holding out much hope.
After all, he had suggested this more than once, and Su Hongxing had refused him every time.
Who knew this time Su Hongxing didn’t refuse outright but instead, spoke thoughtfully: “Let me think about it.”
Su Hongxing’s response left Ye Qilan pleasantly surprised.
His exaggerated expression left Su Hongxing amused, and just then, Ye Qilan’s phone chimed with a text message.
With a woman’s keen intuition, she felt there was something off about that message.
Very few people texted Ye Qilan, and she had a gut feeling it must be a woman messaging him.
She quickly grabbed Ye Qilan’s phone, swiped open the message, and saw that the sender was Du Qingyu, with a simple line: “Qilan, there’s something I’ve never told you, all these years, I haven’t been able to forget you.”
Ye Qilan noticed Su Hongxing’s odd expression, and when he leaned in for a look, he furrowed his brows: “Du Qingyu is crazy!”
“You must be pleased, though. She’s so devoted, confessing her love to you,” Su Hongxing said jealously, immediately deleting the annoying message.
Ye Qilan replied calmly, “I just find it annoying. I’ve seen plenty of women like this, shameless!”
What was said unintentionally, was heard differently, and Su Hongxing became a bit upset: “I know you’re popular with women, but is there a need to show off in front of me?”
“Honey, I wasn’t showing off…” Ye Qilan hurriedly explained.
But Su Hongxing ignored him and turned to leave.
Ye Qilan watched Su Hongxing’s retreating figure helplessly, “Honey, can’t you not be so petty? Du Qingyu sent the message, it’s not like I asked her to. Do you really need to—”
“Ye Qilan, stop talking, can’t you see she’s angry?” Qiao Qiao shook her head, thinking Ye Qilan was adding fuel to the fire.
Su Hongxing was obviously jealous, and Ye Qilan kept mentioning Du Qingyu’s name, how clueless!
