“There is no law against laughing, right?” Su Hongxing buzzed back, withdrawing her hand.
She was still not comfortable with such pretense. She’s not an actress, she doesn’t need to please Ye Qilan, much less perform in front of so many members of the Ye family.
Besides, Du Qingyu was watching her like a hawk from behind.
During the meal, Su Hongxing kept her head down and ate hard.
Ye Qilan frequently served her food, softly saying, “Why are you just eating rice? Have some more vegetables.”
“Fourth Brother, serve me too, I want to!” Ye Ling was not happy seeing Ye Qilan so thoughtful to Su Hongxing.
Everyone knows that Ye Qilan is the top dog of the Ye family, everyone spoils him and gives in to him. It is always others who show goodwill to Ye Qilan, never the other way round.
The sight angered her!
“Help yourself, and you will live a full life.” Ye Qilan said so, but his gaze never left Su Hongxing for a moment.
Ye Ling was frustrated and had nowhere to vent, so she complained to Du Qingyu, “Sister Qingyu, why don’t you say something to Fourth Brother. He used to listen to whatever you said, and do whatever you suggested.”
Her voice was neither loud nor low, and everyone present could hear it, including Su Hongxing, of course.
“Xiaoling, I’ll serve you.” Du Qingyu kicked Ye Ling lightly under the table, signaling her to stop making trouble.
“No, I want Fourth Brother to serve me.” Ye Ling challenged Su Hongxing with her eyes.
In her heart, a beauty like Su Hongxing could never compete to be the wife of her Fourth Brother. How could a proud man like Ye Qilan chose to marry such a woman?
Su Hongxing managed to finish a bowl of rice, then put down her chopsticks: “I’m full, everyone please enjoy your meal.”
“Are you really full?” Ye Qilan stood up too, following Su Hongxing out of the dining room.
He followed her like a shadow, unable to be shaken off.
The members of the Ye family exchanged glances. When they first saw Su Hongxing, everyone thought that Ye Qilan’s wife was just a front.
But it now seemed that Ye Qilan was overly devoted to Su Hongxing.
Seeing Ye Qilan come after her, Su Hongxing slowed down and said, “Can I go for a walk by myself?”
“No!” Ye Qilan tightened his grip on Su Hongxing’s waist and murmured in her ear: “The mansion is haunted. I’m not comfortable letting you wander off by yourself at night.”
Su Hongxing was left speechless. She thought that Ye Qilan was the real ghost in the Ye family.
She didn’t like the atmosphere of the Ye family, everyone was looking at her strangely. Some even pitied her, as if she was to be pitied.
Later she learned that she would have to stay in the Ye mansion that night, and she felt somewhat uneasy.
The worst part was that Ye Qilan and her were sharing the same room, and the same bed. Luckily, Ye Qilan was behaved, other than holding her hand, there were no other unnecessary ambiguous moves.
After being nervous for half an hour, she fell asleep until she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night.
At this time, Ye Qilan, who was supposed to be lying next to her, was nowhere to be found…
Perhaps she didn’t eat much that night, hunger kept her awake, so she got up, planning to go to the kitchen for some food.
In her slippers, she tried to walk as slowly as possible. When she reached the staircase, she saw a couple huddled up in a dim corner on the first floor.
The woman was wearing a pure white nightgown, revealing half of her smooth legs. The man was tall and also wore a white robe. Just by seeing this robe, she knew that this man was Ye Qilan, who was supposed to be lying next to her….
