“Morning!” Ye Qilan’s voice was hoarse as he moved his arm.
Only then did Su Hongxing notice that she had been resting her head on Ye Qilan’s arm. She hurriedly moved away, “Sorry, I…”
“There’s no need to apologize, it’s comfortable holding you,” Ye Qilan shook his arm and got out of bed first.
Su Hongxing sat dazed in bed, unable to imagine that she had spent an entire night sleeping with Ye Qilan.
As children, she often slept beside Xiao Ji. However, that became less frequent as they grew older and grew conscious of their genders.
She had never imagined that one day, the man lying next to her would be someone other than Xiao Ji.
During breakfast, Ye Qilan took good care of her. It was clear that he had always been a caring person. Some actions would even give one the impression that you were a person he cherished.
By noon, she received a call from Ye Qilan. It was a simple show of concern, reminding her to rest well, and that she could visit him at his office if she was feeling bored.
Of course, Su Hongxing was not going to show up at Ye Qilan’s office uninvited.
After waking up from her nap, she found Ye Qilan sitting on the couch, in a video conference.
Seeing that she was awake, he promptly ended the video call.
This inevitably gave her the illusion that she was more important than his work.
In her daze, Ye Qilan walked over slowly, sat her on the edge of the bed with a gentle touch, as if she were a piece of fragile porcelain.
“The old estate is in the next city, a three-hour drive. This is a temporary dress I bought for you. Wear it home, see if it fits,” Ye Qilan handed her a black dress. Seeing Ye Qilan trying to undress her, she immediately raised her hand to stop him, “I can do it myself!”
She took the dress into the bathroom and found it was a perfect fit!
While she was gazing at her reflection in the mirror, Ye Qilan entered the room.
He stepped forward, gathered her hair and Personally put a delicate pink diamond heart-shaped necklace around her neck.
Su Hongxing’s skin was very fair, and the black dress highlighted her snowy complexion even more.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror and the tall man beside her, it all seemed unreal.
The cold necklace cling against her skin, jolting her back to consciousness.
“You look beautiful,” Ye Qilan held Su Hongxing’s hand, his voice warm and gentle, “Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”
Upon hearing the word “home”, Su Hongxing’s eyes stung.
Ever since she could remember, she had been homeless. Ye Qilan’s so-called home was probably just another brief stop on her journey.
Three hours later, Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan arrived at the Ye Family’s old house in the Imperial Capital.
The room was filled with people, each dressed immaculately. Looking around, there were men, women, old and young. At the center was an elderly man, who was scrutinizing her closely.
“Fourth Brother, this is the woman you married?!” Ye Ling looked disdainfully at Su Hongxing, “Isn’t she too ugly? Don’t you feel like vomiting when you’re in bed with her?”
“Ye Ling, watch your words!” Ye Ling’s father, Ye Peng, reprimanded coldly.
“Am I not allowed to speak the truth? All the girlfriends Fourth Brother had before were beauty queens, she’s honestly too ugly, 1 wouldn’t be able to handle it…”
One icy glance from Ye Qilan silenced Ye Ling instantly.
Afterwards, Ye Qilan was summoned by the old master into the study, leaving Su Hongxing alone in the living room, facing the entire Ye Family.
Su Hongxing knew she wasn’t welcome, because the way the Ye family looked at her was as if she was an intruder..
