Chapter 1534: Chapter 1534: First Taste of Love (4)
At this moment, Du Qingyu realized she might have backfired; Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan trusted each other. Does that mean she just shot herself in the foot?
Ye Qilan, disregarding all courtesy, directly kicked her out of the company. Does this mean it will be even harder for her to get close to Ye Qilan in the future?
Thinking of this, she felt that she needed to take action. At the very least, she couldn’t let all her efforts be in vain and allow Ye Qilan to distance himself from her at this time.
So, she came up with a plan and called Ye Qilan from a public phone.
Ye Qilan didn’t know that it was Du Qingyu calling. He answered the phone, and upon hearing her voice, he was about to hang up. But then Du Qingyu suddenly said, "Qilan, I know where Xiao Ji has hidden the photographs of Qiao Qiao and Ye Shiqing."
Ye Qilan’s face darkened, and he instinctively looked at Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing was also looking at him, mouthing the words, "Whose call is it?"
Ye Qilan didn’t say anything because Du Qingyu’s voice came through again: "You need to come out now. I have some things I want to discuss with you alone, but you have to avoid Su Hongxing. I don’t want to have any more disputes with her, nor do I want to make things difficult for you. I’ll be waiting for you in the underground parking lot."
After Du Qingyu said what she had to say, she hung up the phone.
Ye Qilan’s expression was heavy; his instincts told him that Du Qingyu was deliberately using bait to lure him. On the other hand, he really wanted to retrieve Qiao Qiao’s photographs so that Su Hongxing wouldn’t have to meet Xiao Ji again.
In the end, his emotions overcame his reason, and he decided to go downstairs and see Du Qingyu.
"Honey, wait here. I have something to do and I’ll be back soon. Also, Little Pudding is playing outside, so please spend some time with our daughter." After saying this, Ye Qilan quickly walked out of the office.
Su Hongxing chased after him, calling out, "Ye Qilan..."
Ye Qilan walked quickly, and soon he was out of sight.
Su Hongxing chased up to the elevator entrance, lost in thought. She watched the elevator numbers jump continuously until it finally reached the underground parking lot.
After some hesitation, she decided to go to the underground parking lot to see what was happening.
Ye Qilan’s expression made her suspicious. Could he be going to see Du Qingyu?
But how could that be possible? He clearly drove Du Qingyu away, so why would he go to meet her again?
Su Hongxing quickly made her way to the underground parking lot. She scanned the area and soon found Ye Qilan, who was talking to none other than Du Qingyu.
Because she was too far away, she couldn’t hear what they were saying or see their expressions. She only knew that Du Qingyu seemed emotional while Ye Qilan appeared calm.
After a full ten minutes, they finally finished talking, and Ye Qilan began to walk back.
Su Hongxing instinctively hid her presence, and only when Ye Qilan left did she emerge from the corner.
Suddenly, Du Qingyu’s voice rang out behind her: "Su Hongxing, despite how much he likes you, you don’t trust him at all!"
Su Hongxing turned to look at Du Qingyu, but she said nothing.
"Have I hit the nail on the head about your worries? Are you speechless?" Du Qingyu approached Su Hongxing. "No matter how much Qilan loves you, your deep-seated insecurity won’t change because you’re always worried about him cheating. And rightfully so, he abandoned you to marry Cao Shiyu all those years ago. The whole world knows you went from being his legitimate wife to a kept mistress. That must not feel good..."
Su Hongxing watched the ranting Du Qingyu, and smiled faintly: "You’re wrong. He never abandoned me."
