Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: The Death of Ye Si (18)

“Su, don’t try to scare me with that talk,” Liu Yuan said with a heavy sigh. “Qingyin has hated me for half her life; whether Ye Qilan dies or not, she will still hate me. With Ye Qilan around, you always try to take Qingyin away from me. Only by eliminating the threat of Ye Qilan can I sleep peacefully. Ye Qilan wants you, I want Qingyin, and Ye Qilan’s love is no nobler than mine.”

Liu Yuan’s words left Su Hongxing speechless.

Both Ye Qilan and Liu Yuan took what they wanted by force; their methods were no different, that was the truth.

Had she not also initially followed Ye Qilan reluctantly?

If there had to be a difference, it was that she and Ye Qilan shared a bond over three lifetimes. She was not sure about the nature of the relationship between Liu Qingyin and Liu Yuan.

“I gave your family the final moments together, and now the time has come, please,” Liu Yuan gestured for them to proceed.

Su Hongxing’s heart tightened, and she looked towards Ye Qilan.

Ye Qilan gave her a slight smile, “Amou, don’t be afraid, it’s not a big deal.” As long as Su Hongxing and the child were safe, nothing else mattered.

Seeing Ye Qilan about to get out of bed, Su Hongxing held him tight, “Ye Qilan, don’t go!”

Perhaps if they could delay a bit longer, Age and Fu Yan would arrive and rescue them all. Age was highly skilled, and he had many capable people under him; they just hadn’t arrived yet.

Su Hongxing looked again towards Liu Yuan, “Liu Yuan, give us a bit more time. Ye Qilan and I still have so much to do, so many places we haven’t visited yet, and so much to say. Please, give us three more days, will you?”

The best tactic right now was to delay time. Yes, that was it!

Before Liu Yuan could respond, Cao Shiyu’s voice came through the headphones, “Su Hongxing is cunning and full of tricks; she is waiting for reinforcements. You can’t fall for her tricks! If you’re going to act, act quickly!”

She even suspected that Ye Qilan had left some message for Age before he came. After all, Ye Qilan had years of experience in the business world; he was not a kind person–could this be yet another of Ye Qilan’s tricks?

Originally, Liu Yuan was considering giving Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan a bit more time. If he were in Liu Qingyin’s place facing a life-or-death separation, he would also be reluctant.

Cao Shiyu’s reminder made him realize that Su Hongxing was probably just stalling. It was already four-thirty in the afternoon, and it was getting dark.

“Su, I’ll give you half an hour more; that’s the limit I can offer!” Liu Yuan said, leading his people away.

Su Hongxing looked towards Ye Qilan, her eyes stinging with pain, “Ye Qilan, what should we do?”

She had once believed that Ye Qilan, this calamity, could wreak havoc for a thousand years, but now she was not confident at all. She felt death might come at any moment, a personal experience of the so-called life-and-death separation.

In her previous two lives, it was always she who died before Ye Qilan. Had so many things changed in this life that even the order of their deaths would be different?

“Amou, don’t be afraid.” Ye Qilan wished he could tell Su Hongxing that he would not leave this world. But he knew there were many things beyond human control. In such circumstances, he could not make any promises to her.

Su Hongxing nodded, “I’m not afraid.” Yes, she wasn’t afraid at all. This was already the third cycle of reincarnation; if anything, she and Ye Qilan could reunite in another life.

Ye Qilan’s obsession with her was so deep; he couldn’t possibly leave her side.
