Chapter 1369: Chapter 1369: He is a Fake (1)

“You go back first. I’ll stay here for now.”

Su Hongxing’s response made Ye Qilan’s brows knit tightly. “The two children are still at home. Don’t you miss them?”

Su Hongxing looked at the unconscious Xiao Ji, her heart in chaos. After a long pause, she finally said, “I still want to wait until Xiao Ji wakes up.”

She needed to have clarity before she could feel at ease. Even if she went back now, her mind would just spiral into wild thoughts.

Hearing this, Ye Qilan’s heart turned cold. This woman was clearly under Xiao Ji’s spell. If that were the case, how could he allow her to stay beside Xiao Ji alone at such a critical moment?

There was no way he would give Xiao Ji the opportunity to exploit the situation!

“Fine, we’ll wait here for now. We’ll decide after Xiao Ji wakes up,” Ye Qilan said, pulling Su Hongxing to sit beside him.

Jiang Su, watching this unfold, was utterly bewildered. She couldn’t understand why Su Hongxing had suddenly changed her mind.

But since Su Hongxing was willing to help her, of course, she was extremely grateful.

The waiting dragged on, unbearably long.

Su Hongxing’s heart was restless as she stared blankly at the haggard Xiao Ji. She could only hope that it was all in her imagination, that she was overthinking.

All her thoughts were on Xiao Ji, and she didn’t notice the shift in Ye Qilan’s emotions.

Ye Qilan’s focus was also on Xiao Ji. If Xiao Ji posed a threat to him, then he might as well take the opportunity to kill him and end it once and for all.

The more Su Hongxing cared about Xiao Ji, the more he wanted to eliminate him. To Ye Qilan, it even felt as though Xiao Ji had come harboring malicious intent this time. Regardless of the truth, Ye Qilan did not want any other man to draw Su Hongxing’s attention away from him.

Having made up his mind, Ye Qilan left the hospital room.

As soon as Ye Qilan left, Jiang Su ran to Su Hongxing’s side and whispered, “Sis, just now, brother-in-law’s expression was terrifying. It gave me chills.”

Su Hongxing was stunned for a moment, only then realizing that Ye Qilan was no longer in the room. “Where is he?”

“He just left. I don’t know what he’s up to, but he looked so scary,” Jiang Su replied quietly, clearly fearful that Ye Qilan might return suddenly and overhear her badmouthing him.

Su Hongxing immediately stood up and followed him out of the room. She scanned the area and saw the fire escape door slightly ajar. Her instinct told her Ye Qilan was there.

As she approached, she heard Ye Qilan’s icy voice: “Make sure it’s clean and seamless. I don’t want him to wake up…”

Hearing this, Su Hongxing was still somewhat confused, but then a flash of realization struck her. Ye Qilan was referring to Xiao Ji. Recalling how in her previous life Ye Qilan had killed off anyone who might harm them, she remembered how extreme and ruthless this man could be.

“Ye Qilan, you cannot do this!” Unable to hold back, she shouted sternly.

Ye Qilan turned his head, surprised that Su Hongxing had followed him and overheard his conversation with Age.

Su Hongxing snatched the phone from him and said to Age on the other end, “Whatever Ye Qilan just said, pretend you didn’t hear it!”

Age dared not object and soon found himself hung up on by Su Hongxing.

To be honest, not even Age had expected Ye Qilan to suddenly set his mind on killing Xiao Ji…

Meanwhile, Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan stood face-to-face, locked in a standoff. Under Su Hongxing’s unrelenting glare, Ye Qilan replied coldly, “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I’m doing!”

To him, Xiao Ji was a man with sinister intentions, attempting to seduce his wife into betraying him. If he didn’t eliminate Xiao Ji first, wouldn’t that be laughable?

Ye Qilan remembered his past failure vividly–it was because he had always been passive, always waiting. He would not make the same mistake again.
