Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Bad Dad, Stealing Mom at Midnight (10)

The Ye Family members all had a stubborn streak, and Ye Xiandong was no exception. The harder something was to achieve, the more he wanted to do it; the more unattainable a goal seemed, the more he desired to achieve it.

During the time Ye Xiandong spent day and night with Qiao Qiao, he found himself becoming increasingly dependent on her. He knew this wasn’t a good sign, yet he couldn’t control his heart that kept drawing closer to Qiao Qiao.

What he didn’t know was that the household servants were spies placed by Ye Shiqing, who reported their activities to him every day.

After hearing the servants’ reports that day, Ye Shiqing couldn’t sit still any longer.

The servants mentioned that Ye Xiandong’s gaze towards Qiao Qiao was unusual and that he was increasingly dependent on her, which clearly indicated his romantic feelings for Qiao Qiao.

If this continued, it would be even harder for Qiao Qiao to escape Ye Xiandong once he truly stood up for himself.

If he didn’t act now, he would have to watch helplessly as Qiao Qiao and Ye Xiandong reconciled. Moreover, he had investigated Qiao Qiao recently and surprisingly discovered that she had fallen in love with Ye Xiandong years ago.

With this factor at play, how could he not be anxious?

That evening, after work, Qiao Qiao was heading towards the subway station when suddenly a sedan stopped beside her.

Before she could understand what was happening, someone dragged her into the car.

It wasn’t until she fell into the arms of a man both familiar and strange that she finally calmed down somewhat, “You scared me to death! Second Brother, please don’t scare people like this again.”

She thought she had encountered a robber, but instead, it was Ye Shiqing who had abducted her into the car.

Ye Shiqing straightened Qiao Qiao’s face and looked at her closely.

Seeing her rosy lips and healthy appearance, he coldly said, “You and Third Brother have been getting along well lately?”

Qiao Qiao slapped his unruly hand away and narrowed her eyes coldly, “This is my business, it has nothing to do with you, Second Brother. I want to get out of the car!”

Ye Shiqing scoffed, “Xiaoqiao, are you sure you and I have nothing to do with each other? Do I need to remind you of that night–”

“Ye Shiqing, I want to get out of the car!” Qiao Qiao’s face turned red and she instinctively looked towards the driver, Old Liu.

That damned Ye Shiqing, always using this topic to block her. Was it really necessary?

Everyone present knew why that night had happened.

“Even if you avoid it, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Tonight, we’ll revisit that night, and you will remember,” Ye Shiqing’s words made Qiao Qiao turn pale.

She couldn’t believe what Ye Shiqing said, “Ye Shiqing, have you gone mad?”

She wasn’t divorced, and she hadn’t been drugged this time. Could Ye Shiqing really be considering repeating that night?

“Congratulations, you’ve driven me mad,” Ye Shiqing whispered in her ear, “I never thought I’d change for a woman like this.”

All his life he had played by the rules, never straying even when forced to break up with Wen Baobao.

And now, despite knowing his status and the fact that Qiao Qiao was a married woman, he still couldn’t let her go.

Qiao Qiao softened her tone, “Second Brother, don’t do this. Ye Xiandong and I want to live a good life together…”

The mere mention of Ye Xiandong made Ye Shiqing’s face drastically change, and he sternly commanded, “Old Liu, drive faster!”

Old Liu accelerated, wondering to himself what this was all about.

He had been comrades with Ye Shiqing for many years and knew what kind of person he was. Yet a single Qiao Qiao had completely changed him.
