“It’s not illegal to not smile, right?” Su Hongxing replied with a buzz and pulled her hand back.

She was still not used to acting like a hypocrite. She was not an actress, so she did not need to please Ye Qilan, nor did she need to put on an act in front of so many Ye family members.

Moreover, Du Qingyu was eyeing her covetously from behind.

During the meal, Su Hongxing buried her head in her food.

Ye Qilan served her dishes from time to time and said gently, “Why are you only eating the rice? Eat more of the dishes.”

“Fourth Brother, I want some too!” Ye Ling couldn’t stand Ye Qilan treating Su Hongxing so well.

Everyone knew that Ye Qilan was the overlord of the Ye family. Everyone doted on him and gave in to him. Ye Qilan would never be caught being subservient to others.

She was furious when she saw this scene!

“Do it yourself. You’ll have enough to eat and wear,” Ye Qilan said, but his gaze never left Su Hongxing.

Ye Ling had been hit by a soft nail. She had nowhere to vent her anger. She said to Du Qingyu, “Sister Qingyu, take care of Fourth Brother. He used to listen to you the most. He would do whatever you say.”

Her voice was neither loud nor soft. Everyone present could hear her, including Su Hongxing.

“Xiaoling, I’ll prepare some food for you.” Du Qingyu kicked Ye Ling, signaling her to stop causing trouble.

“No, I just want Fourth Brother to serve me.” Ye Ling looked at Su Hongxing provocatively.

In her heart, the only person who could be her fourth sister-in-law was definitely not an ugly woman like Su Hongxing. Why would Ye Qilan, who was favored by the heavens, choose such a woman to marry?

Su Hongxing tried her best to finish a bowl of rice and put down her bowl and chopsticks. “I’m full. Please enjoy.”

“Are you really full?” Ye Qilan stood up and followed Su Hongxing out of the dining room.

He looked like Su Hongxing’s tail that couldn’t be shaken off.

The Ye family members looked at each other. When they first met Su Hongxing, everyone thought that Ye Qilan’s wife was just a cover.

From the looks of it, Ye Qilan seemed to be overly enthusiastic about Su Hongxing.

When Su Hongxing saw Ye Qilan following them, she slowed down and said, “I want to take a walk by myself. Is that okay?”

“No!” Ye Qilan grabbed Su Hongxing’s waist tightly and whispered into her ear, “There’s a ghost in the old residence. I’ll be worried if I let you run around alone at night.”

Su Hongxing was speechless. She felt that Ye Qilan was the true ghost of the Ye family.

She didn’t like the atmosphere of the Ye family. Everyone looked at her strangely. Some even looked at her with looks of sympathy, as if she was pitiful.

Later on, when she found out that she had to stay with the Ye family tonight, she felt even more uneasy.

Most importantly, Ye Qilan slept in the same room and bed as her. Fortunately, other than holding her hand, Ye Qilan was comfortable on the bed and did not do anything else.

After half an hour of nervousness, she fell asleep until she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.

At this time, Ye Qilan, who was lying beside her, was nowhere to be seen…

Perhaps it was because she had eaten too little that night, but she was so hungry that she could not sleep. She simply got up and planned to go to the kitchen to find food to wrap her stomach.

She shuffled in her fur slippers and tried to slow down. When she reached the stairs, she saw a couple embracing in a dark corner on the first floor.

The woman was wearing a pure white nightdress, revealing a small portion of her smooth calves. The man was tall and wore a white sleeping robe. Just by looking at this sleeping robe, she knew that this man was Ye Qilan, who should be lying beside her…
