Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: Absolute Rift (4)

Ye Qilan doesn’t call because she can’t swallow her pride, right? Should she be the one to call instead?

Just as Su Hongxing was itching to do something, Liu Qingyin came over with a giggle and took away her phone: “Sis, I’ve been watching you all day, you really lack perseverance. This time, you must make your brother-in-law compromise, you can’t be the first to admit defeat!”

Su Hongxing’s worries were like a tangled knot: “We can’t be in a cold war forever, can we?”

They had just gotten married, and already had unpleasantness because of Ye Shiqing; this made her very frustrated.

“What’s wrong with a cold war? Let’s just observe and see how much your brother-in-law truly loves you. Isn’t that an interesting thing?”

These words from Liu Qingyin struck a chord with Su Hongxing.

Indeed, ever since Ye Qilan came back, she had been unable to figure out what was on his mind. This was a good opportunity.

It’s just a pity that they are still in their honeymoon period…

Compared to the calmness on Su Hongxing’s side, the employees of Jufeng Group were all on edge.

The moment the big boss came in today, he had a stern face, as if the whole world owed him a huge debt. The one who suffered the most was Assistant Luo, who had no idea what he did wrong but was ordered around by the big boss to the point of exhaustion, like a dog.

At this moment, Du Qingyu arrived, and thinking it was his chance to get out of his predicament, he took the initiative to bring Du Qingyu to the big boss’s office.

However, upon seeing the big boss’s face darken in an instant, Assistant Luo knew something was wrong; it seemed he had done something terrible.

“President Ding, I want to talk to you.” Du Qingyu, not wanting to live in fear, made a special trip to Jufeng Group.

“I have nothing to talk to you about,” said Ye Qilan, his face clearing of gloom, but with a strange smile lingering at the corners of his lips.

Seeing this, Du Qingyu felt a chill run down her spine.

Why does this man look so sinister?

“President Ding, the accident that happened to you on the way to Imperial Capital was purely coincidental, yet you’ve put the blame on me. This is unfair to me!” With Assistant Luo gone, Du Qingyu couldn’t wait to clarify: “Honestly, I bear no ill will towards you. You know, I actually like you very much…”

Under Ye Qilan’s intense gaze, Du Qingyu’s voice faded away. His eyes were piercing, as if stabbing through her body, reaching deep into a corner of her soul.

She suddenly felt a bit guilty, but still mustered the courage to say: “Ding Ye, my liking you is real; how could I possibly wish harm upon you and just watch as you have an accident?”

She genuinely hadn’t foresaw the accident that would befall him on his way to the Imperial Capital. It was something she had not anticipated at all.

Otherwise, she would never have allowed him to rush to the Imperial Capital overnight. Now he was convinced that she wanted to harm him, and she had no way to argue otherwise.

“Miss Du, I am a married man. Don’t you feel despicable confessing your love to a married man like me?”

The contempt in Ye Qilan’s eyes was what Du Qingyu found the most intolerable: “I, I was just trying to clarify things, I didn’t intend to ruin your marriage. I’m sorry…”

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes: “President Ding, I’ve bothered you. Whether you believe me or not, I’ve never harmed you. I just feel it’s unfair, why do I have to pay for something I didn’t do? It’s not fair.”

Ye Qilan showed no reaction, simply pressed the intercom to have someone escort Du Qingyu out.

He did believe that Du Qingyu was unaware; this woman was indeed interested in him, he could tell from her eyes.
