Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340: Of Blood and Tears (2)

“This is my personal matter, you have no right to interfere as an outsider. From now on, let’s just pretend we don’t know each other. You can leave now.” Su Hongxing responded indifferently without looking at Beichuan.

Beichuan didn’t expect Su Hongxing to be so ruthless. He had his pride, especially with outsiders present, and could no longer sit there. He sneered, “Su Hongxing, I wish you and that Mr. Ding would get divorced soon!”

After Beichuan left, Su Hongxing then said to Ye Qilan, “Forget about the past.”

“Could he be the one sabotaging things behind the scenes? I mean, could he be the real owner of Hongkang Group?” Ye Qilan pondered while looking at Beichuan’s departing figure.

Su Hongxing thought for a moment, then shook her head and replied, “Beichuan has always been frivolous in relationships, but he’s not the scheming type. You were his friend at one point; you should know that he only focuses on women…”

“Aren’t you the woman he’s always wanted? Does he even deserve to covet you?” Ye Qilan said with a cold smirk.

Su Hongxing was momentarily lost for words. Ye Qilan’s jealous tone was so palpable that it could be sensed from miles away.

“He lost interest in me a long time ago, and we haven’t met for a quite a while,” Su Hongxing replied quietly.

“That still doesn’t clear him of suspicion!” Ye Qilan’s dislike for Beichuan was very apparent.

“You are too emotional. When we analyze situations, we need to set aside inherent biases to pinpoint the actual threats,” Su Hongxing advised, then tenderly served Ye Qilan some food and softly added, “Don’t worry, I have absolutely no feelings toward Beichuan.”

Her words finally soothed Ye Qilan’s nerves, at least to him, they sounded like her commitment to him.

As the meal was about to end, Little Pudding who had been quiet for a long time said, “Mom has been talking to dad this whole time.”

Su Hongxing gently pinched the little guy’s nose, “Because your dad is only three years old, even less mature than Little Pudding.”

Little Pudding deeply agreed with this. No other child’s dad would compete with a child for their mom’s love; her dad was indeed different from other dads.

After lunch, Ye Qilan offered to take Su Hongxing back to her office, “Wife, why not come work at my company?” That way, he could see her all the time.

“I like working here,” Su Hongxing replied seriously.

Truth be told, this Ye Qilan was no different from the other Ye Qilan. The only difference was that one had memories from a past life while the other did not; both had the same temperament and the same strong possessiveness towards her. They were essentially the same person.

“Why don’t you walk me there?” Ye Qilan reached the office door, then turned back to Su Hongxing and asked.

“No, it’s almost time for me to start working. You should head back, drive carefully and don’t rush,” Su Hongxing decisively pushed Ye Qilan out of the company’s main door.

“Why don’t you ask me to stay?” Ye Qilan clung to Su Hongxing’s hand, somewhat unwilling to let go.

It seemed like she couldn’t wait for him to leave?!

“I have to work, and you need to be serious too. We need to keep our personal and professional lives separate,” Su Hongxing reassured him with a kiss on his cheek, making Ye Qilan willingly leave.

Watching Ye Qilan’s retreating figure, she suddenly felt a bit melancholic. She realized that he was actually quite easy to appease, unlike in their past lives where he was difficult and stubborn, being authoritative and domineering.

But just now, a simple kiss on his cheek had made him blissfully forget everything, pursuing nothing further.
