Chapter 1077: Chapter 1077: The Death of Ye Si (17)

“When you grow up, you’ll be beautiful,” Su Hongxing replied softly.

Indeed, children aren’t attractive when they are born; only when their features develop can one tell what they look like, but unfortunately…

As soon as she said this, Ye Qilan stopped speaking, and so did she, both watching the child intently. At this moment, their feelings could not be expressed by any words.

It was unclear how much time had passed until they heard footsteps approaching. Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan, as if waking from a dream, exchanged a glance and unconsciously tightened their grip on each other’s hands.

Before he arrived, his voice could be heard first, it was Liu Yuan, “You two are so sweet together, I’m really envious.”

Su Hongxing looked up to see Liu Yuan striding in, followed by several tall men in suits, all looking straight ahead.

“Sister, I know you have been put in a tough spot staying here lately. But rest assured, after today, everything will get better.” Liu Yuan said this in front of Ye Qilan, not avoiding calling Su Hongxing “sister.”

In his heart, Liu Qingyin was his woman, and since Liu Qingyin liked Su Hongxing so much, always calling her sister, it wasn’t excessive for him to call Su Hongxing “sister” as well.

Almost instinctively, Su Hongxing tried to pull Ye Qilan behind her. This action made Liu Yuan chuckle. It had to be said, falling for a woman like Su Hongxing showed that Ye Qilan had good taste.

Su Hongxing was so much better than Cao Shiyu that any man would choose Su Hongxing over someone like the crazy Cao Shiyu, right?

However, different paths do not lead to shared goals, and he had his mission, which was to eliminate Ye Qilan.

Ye Qilan also noticed Su Hongxing’s protective gesture. He felt joy, but also pride. He stepped forward, pulling Su Hongxing behind him, and sternly said, “This is a matter between men, don’t interfere as a woman.”

Looking towards Liu Yuan, he asked, “Can you tell me who rescued you back then?”

Liu Yuan was startled, not expecting Ye Qilan to still be concerned about this matter at this time. He calmly replied, “Honestly, I don’t even know who saved me!”

If someone hadn’t suddenly rescued him, he would have died at Ye Qilan’s hands long ago. Ye Qilan had also caused the death of Liu Yuan’s father; it seemed that Ye Qilan was his sworn enemy despite their limited interactions.

“Really don’t know?” Ye Qilan stared into Liu Yuan’s eyes.

Liu Yuan looked back calmly, “Really! You know your end is near, there’s no need for me to lie to a dying man. Ye Qilan, it would actually be better if you died today, otherwise, you would have trouble dealing with that unknown person…”

“Liu Yuan, don’t touch him, come at me if there’s an issue!” Su Hongxing suddenly spoke up, interrupting Liu Yuan.

“Sister, I’m giving you a choice. Although it was me who brought you here, I wouldn’t dare mistreat you. You are someone Qingyin respects, I can’t really harm you with a blade. But between Ye Qilan and you, only one can live.” Liu Yuan took a deep look at Su Hongxing, his gaze finally resting on Ye Qilan’s face.

Ye Qilan loved Su Hongxing so much; thus, he couldn’t possibly let anything happen to Su Hongxing. The only chance to live was to leave it to Su Hongxing.

“Since you know Qingyin respects me, you shouldn’t force us. If Qingyin knew you killed her brother-in-law, she could never forgive you!” Su Hongxing also knew this was not a real choice, but rather a way to pressure Ye Qilan into taking his own life.
