When Su Hongxing returned to the Ye family’s old residence, it was already half past four in the morning.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, she felt the low pressure in the room. She fumbled for the light and turned it on. When she saw Ye Qilan sitting on the edge of the bed, she remembered what Ye Xiandong had said.

“Where did you go?” Ye Qilan waved at Su Hongxing.

Su Hongxing sat down next to Ye Qilan and focused on his face.

His expression and eyes were gentle, and there was no sign of anger. If he had found her missing after returning to his room, then he hadn’t slept and had sat here waiting for her. This wait would have lasted two hours.

Logically speaking, everyone had a temper. Why was Ye Qilan not angry at all?

It was as if waiting for her for two hours in the middle of the night was a matter of course.

“I saw Third Brother. He wanted me to talk to him, so I went.” Su Hongxing’s eyes never left Ye Qilan’s face as she spoke.

She realized that Ye Qilan’s expression remained unchanged.

Everyone said that she had facial paralysis, but wasn’t Ye Qilan the same? He always seemed to have a harmless face and such a harmless expression.

“You met Ye Xiandong?” Ye Qilan paused for a moment before continuing, “Third Brother is very good at pleasing women. You have to be careful not to be deceived by him.”

Just as he was about to lie down, he realized that Su Hongxing’s face had suddenly moved closer. He narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing?!”

Su Hongxing only wanted to verify if Ye Xiandong was lying, so she deliberately approached Ye Qilan.

Although Ye Qilan’s expression did not change, his suddenly tense muscles proved that he did not like her being too close to him.

“I suddenly realized that you’re a feast for the eyes,” Su Hongxing said and quickly planted a kiss on Ye Qilan’s face.

Ye Qilan could not react in time and was kissed. His subconscious reaction was to wipe the saliva off his face.

This scene made Su Hongxing want to smile. She did smile.

Ye Qilan saw it from the corner of his eye and fixed his gaze on it. “You’re smiling!”

“There are still two hours until dawn. Go to sleep.” Su Hongxing stopped smiling and turned her back to Ye Qilan. Soon, she fell asleep.

Only Ye Qilan was left staring at Su Hongxing’s back in a daze. He touched his face. There seemed to be a mark left by Su Hongxing there.

He had never liked anyone touching him. The touch of her lips seemed to be within his acceptable range.

In the morning, before Su Hongxing could wake up, she heard a commotion approaching.

She opened her sleepy eyes and met Ye Qilan’s perfect facial features. She had to admit that it would be a beautiful thing if she could sleep with a man with heaven-defying looks for the rest of her life.

Just as she was in a daze, the door of their bedroom was kicked open.

An energetic beauty rushed in. She was wearing a body-hugging red dress. Her figure was extremely good, especially her chest.

The beauty’s facial features were deep and beautiful. Her eyes were like a wild cat’s and extremely alluring.

“Ugly woman, what right do you have to climb onto Qilan’s bed? Get down!” When the beauty saw Su Hongxing, jealousy overwhelmed her. She rushed to the bed and was about to drag Su Hongxing off the bed.

Su Hongxing grabbed Ye Qilan’s arm.

It was this man who had caused this mess. If she had to die, she would drag this man down with her.

Ye Qilan did not sleep well last night. He glanced at the beauty and ordered, “Yanzi, don’t disturb my sleep. Go out now and close the door!”
