Chapter 1311: Chapter 1311: Tearing off the Mask (3)

After Ye Qilan returned to Qingmu Garden, he immediately washed away the lingering smell of alcohol.

Then, he shuffled to Su Hongxing’s bedroom door, wanting to take a peek at Su Hongxing and the two children.

After hesitating for a long time, he twisted the doorknob, only to find that Su Hongxing had locked the door from inside.

He remembered that the her from before didn’t guard against him, everything had changed…

In the following days, Su Hongxing met with Mo Li every day. On weekdays, she would squeeze time to see Mo Li at noon, and if she couldn’t make it at noon, she would still meet with Mo Li for dinner and chat in the evening.

Mo Li couldn’t understand why Su Hongxing was so “enthusiastic” towards him recently. She used to never initiate meetings, but these past few days she had been looking for him every day, which seemed rather fishy.

This evening, Su Hongxing arranged another dinner with Mo Li. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Mo Li couldn’t resist asking, “Have you and Ding Ye had a conflict recently?”

So, was Su Hongxing meeting him so frequently to deliberately anger Ding Ye?

Su Hongxing replied with a smile, “I have no conflict with Ding Ye.” She wasn’t lying; the person she had a conflict with was Ye Qilan.

“Then meeting me every day after work, doesn’t Ding Ye get jealous?” Mo Li asked with concern.

Su Hongxing calmly retorted, “Is there anything ambiguous between us? What’s wrong with friends having a meal and a chat?”

Mo Li thought for a moment, “It seems I’ve thought too much.”

“Indeed, you’ve thought too much.” Su Hongxing loaded Mo Li’s bowl with a lot of food: “These are all your favorite dishes. In the past, when we dined, you always took care of me. Now that I think about it, I’ve really been very selfish. Mo Li, I am sorry.”

Now, she was still selfish, dragging the innocent Mo Li into the midst of battle.

If one day Mo Li found out the truth, he probably wouldn’t want her as a friend anymore, right?

“What nonsense are you talking about suddenly?” Mo Li chuckled, unable to comprehend. Why apologize out of nowhere? It wasn’t her fault for not loving him.

Su Hongxing looked at Mo Li directly: “You will find out in the future, the silliest person is you.”

Mo Li didn’t argue with Su Hongxing, habitually giving in: “Okay, whatever you say is what it is, as long as you’re happy.”

Halfway through the meal, Mo Li received a call from Lin Zhi. He got up and went to a quiet place before answering the call.

“Son, where are you?” Lin Zhi asked.

“Out eating, what’s the matter?” Mo Li detected something off in Lin Zhi’s tone.

“Are you with Su Hongxing?” Lin Zhi pressed on urgently.

Mo Li glanced towards where Su Hongxing was sitting and replied, “Yes, Mom, how did you guess?”

“Just try to meet her less often from now on. You should know that she’s now married. Isn’t it odd to meet with her so frequently?” Lin Zhi’s words caused Mo Li to furrow his brows.

“Mom, what do you mean by that? We’re friends, what’s wrong with having a meal together?” Mo Li responded with a heavier voice.

He had just discussed this topic with Su Hongxing, there was nothing ambiguous about their relationship.

“If she was single, no one would care about you two having meals together. But the problem is, she’s married now. Doesn’t it look like you’re seducing a married woman when you meet her so often? Also, despite being married, she still meets with you frequently, don’t you find her behavior odd?” Lin Zhi’s volume rose steadily, turning sharp in her excitement.
