Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: Announcing the Good News, Holding a Wedding (1)

This Ye Shiqing made Old Liu feel very unfamiliar.

Perhaps the crazy gene hidden deep within Ye Shiqing’s bones had been triggered.

To be precise, among the men of the Ye family’s generation, each one was a madman.

Ye Qilan was like that, so was Ye Zheng; with two precedents like this, it wasn’t so unexpected that Ye Shiqing had turned out this way.

Old Liu didn’t want to meddle in Ye Shiqing’s personal affairs; he considered his task complete once he had delivered Ye Shiqing and Qiao Qiao to their destination.

Despite her reluctance, Qiao Qiao was still dragged into the villa by Ye Chenqing.

She had never been to this place before. Ye Shiqing had mentioned that he had other properties in Taicheng. Naturally, as a descendant of the Ye Family and given the financial power of the Ye family, having a villa in Taicheng wasn’t anything extraordinary.

“Second Brother, now that your status is different, shouldn’t you keep a low profile?”

As soon as Qiao Qiao said this, she knew she was overstepping.

Seeing that he had brought her to his private residence showed Ye Shiqing’s recklessness. Her words meant nothing; they would fall on deaf ears.

“Are you concerned about me?” Ye Shiqing’s gaze was heavy as he looked at Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao avoided his gaze and pretended to stroll around the living room, thinking about how to escape the current predicament.

Reason with Ye Shiqing? She wasn’t as eloquent as him, and besides, was there any point in reasoning with him? Since becoming an official, he had become even more domineering and arrogant.

Try to appeal to Ye Shiqing’s pity?

Not sure if that would work, but maybe it was worth a try?

With a decision made, Qiao Qiao turned around, only to find Ye Shiqing standing right behind her. She hastily stepped back and before she could act, she heard Ye Shiqing say, “What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

“I don’t want to eat anything…”

I just want to leave.

Ye Shiqing glanced back at Qiao Qiao and said sternly, “Qiao Qiao, I am not joking. You have to stay tonight, and we’ll relive that night!”

That way she wouldn’t forget him. He knew she was conservative and couldn’t continue being involved with him while having a husband. So, she could only choose one.

Of course, this time he would force her to choose himself.

“Second Brother, can you let me go?” Qiao Qiao gathered her emotions and grasped Ye Shiqing’s sleeve. “Second Brother, I, I …”

She tried to force some tears out, but seeing Ye Shiqing’s inscrutable face, she couldn’t continue acting.

“Your acting is too poor!” Ye Shiqing smirked coldly, “Crying won’t help; I won’t fall for that!”

After throwing down those words, he went into the kitchen.

Qiao Qiao paused for a moment then took out her phone to call Su Hongxing to ask for help.

Unfortunately, her phone rang at that moment. When she saw the caller ID, it was Ye Xiandong.

But before she could react, Ye Shiqing forcibly snatched the phone from her hand. He returned, texted Ye Xiandong at lightning speed, and then turned off the phone.

Qiao Qiao saw it all clearly and felt extremely frustrated.

Ye Shiqing dragged her into the kitchen, ordering in a faint voice, “Stay here; don’t leave my line of sight.”

Qiao Qiao stood sullenly at the doorway, occasionally looking back toward the living room. She spotted a landline and thought of making a call, but Ye Shiqing was watching her closely.

After a while, she came up with an idea and covered her stomach, saying, “Second Brother, my stomach hurts; I need to use the restroom!”

“I’ll accompany you,” Ye Shiqing turned off the stove and leisurely followed behind her, seemingly having already seen through her plan.
