Yan Zi’s eyes welled up with tears, as she stared at Ye Qilan: “Brother Qilan, you clearly said that I was your favorite.”
How could he marry another woman right after saying such things to her?
If she hadn’t received the news, she wouldn’t even know that Ye Qilan had returned to this city, let alone that he and Su Hongxing were now married.
This ugly and fat woman in front of her, what makes her eligible to be with such a great man like Ye Qilan?
“Behave, get out!” With one stride of his long arm, Ye Qilan pulled Su Hongxing into his arms again, and the two of them fell back onto the pillows.
Su Hongxing’s head was pressed against Ye Qilan’s chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
She mumbled, “1 can’t breathe.”
Hearing her, Ye Qilan loosened his grip a bit, and quickly drifted off to sleep.
Yet Su Hongxing was not in such a peaceful state of mind.
After all, another woman was watching from beside the bed, glaring at her murderously, how could she possibly sleep?
It was only when the other side of the bed sagged, and Yan Zi climbed onto it as well, that Su Hongxing finally struggled out of Ye Qilan’s embrace, raising her head to look at Yan Zi.
There Yan Zi was, glaring at her defiantly, chillingly pronounced: “Brother Qilan is mine! Su Hongxing, you’re not worthy of him. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll back off. Otherwise, I’ll show you what I’m capable of!”
After completing her threat, Yan Zi leaned against Ye Qilan’s back. Feeling his warmth and smelling his familiar scent, she felt her life was finally complete.
Observing this, Su Hongxing felt the situation was quite bizarre.
Had she not known that she was the one lawfully married to Ye Qilan, she might have thought that Yan Zi was the main wife.
She decided to step aside. Fighting over a man was something she neither could handle nor cared for.
She quietly climbed out of bed, unaware that at the moment she stepped down, Ye Qilan, supposedly sleeping, opened his eyes, watching her leave thoughtfully.
As Su Hongxing left the bedroom, Ye Qilan shoved Yan Zi away.
Yan Zi tried to cling onto him, but Ye Qilan turned to look at her: “Enough is enough!”
Yan Zi’s lips quivered with injustice: “You’re married now, if I don’t do something, I’ll lose you forever. Brother Qilan, you said you liked me, why would you marry such an ugly woman…”
Watching Yan Zi’s mouth moving non-stop, Ye Qilan suddenly thought of Su Hongxing. He used to think Su Hongxing was a boring woman, but now he realized that boring might be a virtue, at least she wouldn’t disturb his sleep.
“Yan Zi, can you shut up?!” Annoyed by Yan Zi who kept chattering even as he went to brush his teeth, Ye Qilan raised his voice.
Yan Zi stared at Ye Qilan with wide eyes: “You never used to talk to me like this.”
Ye Qilan used to be so attentive and gentle when he looked at her, he never used to be impatient.
“You should know I have many women 1 like, and you’re just one of them.” Ye Qilan continued to brush his teeth.
Yan Zi hung her head low. Yes, she knew that there were so many women who Ye Qilan liked, and they all loved him.
Every woman thought they could make Ye Qilan fall in love with them someday, and she also once thought, she would be Ye Qilan’s last woman.
After all, she and Ye Qilan were childhood friends and grew up together. She believed she was luckier than other women, because she had accompanied Ye Qilan since he was very young.
But he hadn’t been gone from the Imperial Capital for long before he became another woman’s husband..
