Chapter 1373: Chapter 1373: He is a Fake (5)

Ye Qilan nodded repeatedly, unabashedly complimenting her, “Wife, you’re amazing.”

Su Hongxing chuckled, “No matter how capable I am, it’s nothing compared to you. It’s not surprising for women to handle housework, but a man who can earn big money–now that’s truly impressive. You’re a business genius. In that area, there aren’t many men who can match you.”

But there are plenty of women with better cooking skills than her. Comparing like that would be fairer.

“I think the food you cook tastes the best.” After a slight pause, Ye Qilan added, “You’re the best in the entire world, one of a kind.”

Su Hongxing fell silent for a moment. In this man’s eyes, her very spit would probably smell sweet. Perhaps this is what they call “beauty in the eyes of the beholder.”

The whole table was watching her and Ye Qilan; his incessant praises earlier made her a bit embarrassed. “I’ll go boil the dumplings again. It’ll be quick. You all eat first.”

“Wife, let me do it.” Ye Qilan immediately followed behind Su Hongxing.

In the end, the two of them went into the kitchen together.

Standing to the side, Ye Qilan watched Su Hongxing busy herself and couldn’t help but exclaim, “I used to think cooking was a simple task for women. I was so self-righteous.”

There are so many nuances to it, yet he’d always regarded Su Hongxing’s cooking as an obligatory duty.

“If you’re serious about learning, I’ll teach you from now on. With me teaching, you’ll pick it up faster.” Su Hongxing said, but then suddenly changed the subject, “Ye Qilan, I’m sorry for making you so heartbroken before.”

She was referring to how she had abandoned Ye Qilan and chosen to end her own life. She had sought relief, yet left Ye Qilan to suffer.

The reason he had gone on a rampage–wasn’t it all because of her?

The reason he’d endured two lifetimes of displacement and hardship–wasn’t it also because of her?

“The past is the past. What matters most is the future. Now that we’re married, you can’t ever abandon me again. You’ve left me once before; there can’t be a second time.” Ye Qilan circled his arms around Su Hongxing’s waist from behind. “Otherwise, if I’m hit too hard, I just might go crazy.”

And as for the outrageous things he might do after going mad, even he couldn’t predict them.

Su Hongxing smiled and lightly patted his hands, “If you’re like this, I can’t cook the dumplings. Step aside and stop getting in the way of my work.”

“You haven’t promised me anything. Don’t think you can brush me off so easily.” Ye Qilan clung tightly to her.

Su Hongxing had no choice but to reply, “Fine, fine, fine, I promise you. But have you even thought about your personality? If I tried to abandon you, would you just let me do it so easily?”

She didn’t believe for one second that he would calmly let her go, even if his rival were another version of Ye Qilan.

And if two Ye Qilans were to truly fight each other, it was obvious this domineering one would come out on top, right?

“That’s true.” Ye Qilan, suddenly enlightened by Su Hongxing’s words, immediately perked up.

Lately, he’d been imagining countless scenarios of Su Hongxing abandoning him. Now that he thought about it, was it all just his needless worry?

After breakfast, Qiao Qiao followed behind Su Hongxing and asked, “What did you say to Ye Qilan? When he came out of the kitchen after being with you, he seemed to be in a really good mood.”

“I just casually chatted with him. He has no sense of security, always worrying that I’ll leave him–overthinking for no reason.” Talking about Ye Qilan, Su Hongxing couldn’t hide the smile on her face.

Qiao Qiao gave Su Hongxing a deep look but didn’t probe further. Things that haven’t happened are better left unthought of. No matter what the future holds, one thing was clear to her: Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing love each other deeply.

Come what may, no matter how many obstacles lay ahead, they would undoubtedly overcome them together.
