Chapter 1376: Chapter 1376: Choice (2)

Su Hongxing remained silent.

She believed Xiao Ji’s words. If Xiao Ji wasn’t Ye Qilan, how could he say something so incomprehensible?

But in truth, the one she married was also Ye Qilan. Two Ye Qilans, both treating her so well. Either one of them was hard enough for her to deal with–let alone both together?

“Amou, at least say something. Do you know how hard it was for me to come back?” Xiao Ji’s gaze darkened. “I couldn’t believe such a miracle could happen in this world either. But I’m here, because I can’t let go of you, and the two children.”

Su Hongxing felt a pang of unwillingness in her heart and was about to respond when Ye Qilan interjected, “Honey, haven’t you ever seen a drama king before? Well, here’s one right in front of you. Take a closer look–Xiao Ji’s acting skills rival any top-performing star. It’s a shame he’s not in showbiz.”

Su Hongxing gave Ye Qilan an exasperated look. “How about you step out for a bit? I want to talk to Xiao Ji alone.”

With Ye Qilan around, she couldn’t have a proper conversation with Xiao Ji. This man always left her feeling defeated.

“That’s not happening. Xiao Ji harbors inappropriate intentions toward you. If I leave, wouldn’t you fall into his grasp? I’m staying here to protect you,” Ye Qilan said, wrapping an arm around Su Hongxing’s slender waist.

Su Hongxing glanced at Ye Qilan, who was also looking at her, silently conveying with his eyes that there was no way he’d leave them alone together.

What a joke–Xiao Ji was his rival in love. How could he give Xiao Ji the chance to sneak in and take advantage?

In the end, it was Su Hongxing who conceded defeat.

Since everyone was already acquainted, and even if Xiao Ji was another Ye Qilan, there was no point in hiding anything.

“Xiao Ji, whether what you’re saying is true or not, you can see for yourself–I’ve already registered my marriage with Ye Qilan. I’m his wife; that’s an indisputable fact. It means… we simply weren’t meant to be,” she said, addressing the other Ye Qilan.

They were always missing each other–that was also a fact.

“I really want to know, under what identity did he register the marriage with you? Was it Ding Ye, or Ye Qilan? If he used Ye Qilan’s name to marry you, then it’s fraud–because he’s not Ye Qilan. I am! Amou, he deceived you,” Xiao Ji said, his voice turning sorrowful. “You were supposed to be my fiancee, but you married Ding Ye. It’s not fair.”

“Xiao Ji, there you go again, lamenting over nothing. You claim you’re Ye Qilan, but the truth is–you’re just Xiao Ji. Who can prove what you say is true? And what evidence can you provide to prove I’m not Ye Qilan?” Ye Qilan, bored of observing the drama, asked with a calm smile.

Ye Qilan’s words left Xiao Ji at a loss for a rebuttal.

“Amou knows I am Ye Qilan, and that’s enough. I don’t need to prove to anyone else that I’m Ye Qilan, because Amou knows–I’m her rightful fiance!” Xiao Ji looked earnestly at Su Hongxing. “Amou, say something. Have you forgotten? You promised to marry me–you can’t break your word.”

Su Hongxing gazed at Xiao Ji with conflicted eyes. “The die is cast, everything is already decided. I am now Ye Qilan’s wife in the eyes of the law…”

“That’s simple. Divorce him!” Xiao Ji said urgently.

Su Hongxing froze. She had never considered that possibility. Divorce Ye Qilan? Ye Qilan would never agree to it!

Moreover, she didn’t have a choice. It would be easier to just accept things as they were, simplifying everything. That would save her a lot of trouble.
