Chapter 1355: Chapter 1355: Two Ye Qilan (5)

After being retorted by Su Hongxing, Ye Qilan’s expression darkened slightly: “If I ask you something, will you answer me honestly?”

He suspected that the flower sender might have contacted Su Hongxing through other means, which was why she reacted so unusually.

“I just kind of missed you, what else could it be?” Su Hongxing replied sullenly.

When Ye Qilan heard this, his eyebrows relaxed: “Are you serious?”

The barely contained excitement in his tone made Su Hongxing feel a little guilty: “Why would I lie about something like this? Whatever, talking to you is no fun. I’m hanging up.”

“Wait, keep me company a bit longer. Since you miss me, why don’t I come see you now to ease your longing?”

Ye Qilan’s words made Su Hongxing burst out laughing: “You really know how to take advantage of an opportunity. Forget it, work is important. Even if you came, I wouldn’t have time to entertain you.”

Ye Qilan wanted to chat a bit longer with Su Hongxing, but she hung up in a rush. Does that really seem like someone who misses him?

He strongly suspected that this woman was lying to him just to placate him–what a clever diversionary tactic…

After hanging up, Su Hongxing pulled herself together just as the servant brought in lunch. It was specifically arranged by Ye Qilan, who said eating fast food outside was unhealthy.

Su Hongxing quickly finished her meal, then fed Little Pudding. “Little Pudding, next month you won’t be going to work with Mommy anymore, alright?”

The matter of hiring a tutor had been delayed day after day because Little Pudding clung to her all the time. The child was already over four years old–how could this go on?

“No, I want to stay with Mommy.” Little Pudding looked at Su Hongxing with teary eyes: “Does Mommy not want me anymore?”

“There you go again. Kids your age should be in school; no child goes to work with their mom. If you learn more, you’ll be able to protect Mommy better in the future…”

“But I want to stay with Mommy.” Little Pudding threw herself into Su Hongxing’s arms and started crying loudly.

Su Hongxing was most afraid of Little Pudding pulling this move, but this was also what Little Pudding was best at. Just then, Mo Li came by. She handed Little Pudding to Qiao Qiao: “Xiaoqiao, can you calm her down for me?”

Qiao Qiao gestured for her not to worry, and only then did she follow Mo Li out of the office.

“You refused to answer my calls. I don’t know what I did to upset you, so…” Mo Li left his sentence unfinished.

He didn’t understand what had happened, why Su Hongxing hadn’t been picking up his calls recently or contacting him anymore–it made him anxious.

Su Hongxing paused before replying, “Ye Qilan doesn’t like me keeping in touch with you. I don’t want to upset him. Mo Li, let’s not meet again in the future.”

What Lin Zhi did couldn’t be blamed on Mo Li, but she couldn’t let it go either. The best solution was to sever ties with Mo Li. None of this was Mo Li’s fault, but still…

“I see…” Mo Li smiled bitterly. In her heart, Ye Qilan would always come first. Ye Qilan’s opinions were what mattered most, while his didn’t seem to matter at all.

He just hadn’t expected that, in the end, they couldn’t even remain friends.

“Staying away from my life will be better for you,” Su Hongxing didn’t want to apologize to this man.

Meeting him and becoming friends with him had been a blessing, but such fateful connections always came with an eventual ending.

“I understand.” Mo Li looked at Su Hongxing for a long while. “Su, take care. I hope you’ll always be happy.”
