Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384: Su Hongxing, Who Are You Thinking Of? (4)

Qiao Qiao quickly had an idea: “How about this, if you listen to me, I’ll allow you to sleep in my room.”

Ye Shiqing looked at Qiao Qiao, seemingly trying to figure out what she meant by that. After a moment, he nodded and leaned against her.

Taking the chance, Qiao Qiao helped him up, brought him upstairs to her bedroom, and dumped him onto the sofa: “Alright, you sleep here tonight.”

She decided to make do with Su Hongxing for the night. Since reasoning with a drunk was pointless, she saw no reason to waste more time.

As soon as Ye Shiqing heard she was leaving, he immediately grabbed her. No matter what she said afterward, he showed no intention of letting go. In the end, she got tired and drowsy, and ended up squeezing onto the sofa with Ye Shiqing, groggily falling asleep…

After coaxing Little Pudding to sleep, Su Hongxing gave Ye Qilan a call.

The call went unanswered for a long time, so she simply dialed Age, who picked up right away.

She heard the noisy background on the other end of the call: “Where are you guys?”

Age glanced at Ye Qilan, who was drinking alone in misery, and truthfully replied, “At the bar. Don’t worry, Madam, I’m with Sir, and he won’t get into trouble.”

From the corner of his eye, he saw a woman trying to flirt with Ye Qilan, and he promptly stepped in to shoo her away.

“Pass the phone to him; I have a few words for him,” she said.

Following instructions, Age handed the phone over to Ye Qilan: “It’s Madam’s call; she has something to say to you.”

Ye Qilan glanced at the phone and directly hung up the call.

Helpless, Age redialed, “Sir doesn’t want to take the call, Madam, but don’t worry, I’ll keep a close eye on him.”

“Which bar are you at? I’ll go find him. At this time of night, it’s easy for things to go wrong,” Su Hongxing said, though she left unspoken her own fears of being drugged again.

A man drowning his sorrows with alcohol would inevitably attract attention from women, especially someone as attractive as Ye Qilan.

“How about this, I’ll send someone to pick you up!” Age wouldn’t dare let Su Hongxing go to a seedy bar at this hour alone.

Understanding his concerns, Su Hongxing didn’t refuse.

Not long after, Xiaohe showed up.

In all this time, it was the first time Su Hongxing had been alone with Xiaohe.

“Xiaohe, your acting skills are pretty impressive,” Su Hongxing said, giving Xiaohe a deep look.

She suddenly recalled something Xiaohe had once told her: Don’t judge a book by its cover. Sure enough, this inconspicuous Xiaohe had been interacting with her all along, and she hadn’t even realized it.

“You flatter me, Madam. Sir once saved my life, and now, given his difficult situation, I’m the only one who can help him. It’s out of necessity–please forgive me,” Xiaohe replied.

“Did he anticipate this day would come?” Su Hongxing asked curiously.

Otherwise, why would Ye Qilan have Xiaohe hide his body? Unless Ye Qilan had specifically instructed Xiaohe about this matter.

“I don’t know what Sir is thinking. I’m just his right-hand man, following his orders. These things, Madam, you’ll have to ask him directly,” Xiaohe responded firmly.

Su Hongxing gave a faint smile, her lips slightly curved: “You’re certainly loyal to him.”

“Madam is also someone I am loyal to. In my heart, both you and Sir are my masters,” Xiaohe replied earnestly, declaring his allegiance.

Su Hongxing shook her head helplessly: “What era are we even in now? Just because he saved you doesn’t mean he gets to dictate your entire life. You can’t just obey his every command…”
