Chapter 20: Apricot Garden

As Ye Qilan’s legal wife, Su Hongxing wondered if she should step forward and declare her autonomy.

In the end, her subconscious reaction was to squat in front of the railing and sneakily turn around to return to the bedroom.

When she turned around, she bumped into a pair of men’s legs.

She looked up the man’s long legs. Under the dim lights, she could vaguely see that the man’s facial features were a little similar to those of Ye Qilan’s but he was much more devilish and flirtatious.

The man curved his lips and looked down at her from above for a while. Then, he squatted down and looked at her at eye level.

He tugged at her conservative pajamas, then at her hair, as if he had ADHD. “Are you the ugly wife Si’er found?”

He held her chin and looked at her carefully. This woman’s facial features were actually not bad, but she was a little fat. He felt that her facial features were squeezed in the middle of a pile of meat, so she looked ugly.

As someone who grew up among beauties, he still felt that Su Hongxing was very ugly.

Although Ye Qilan had strange tastes, he would not be so foolish as to find such a woman to marry.

He was curious about how Su Hongxing attracted Ye Qilan.

As far as he knew, there were five candidates for a fiancée. Su Hongxing was the ugliest. Why did Ye Qilan choose such a tacky name…

“Is your name Su Hongxing?!” After the man asked, he introduced himself. “I’m Ye Xiandong, Qilan’s older brother.”

Su Hongxing nodded. “Hello.”

“Your name is Su Hongxing, right?” Ye Xiandong asked again.

Su Hongxing coughed lightly and replied, “Yes, is there a problem?”

Ye Xiandong fell silent. His enchanting smile disappeared without a trace as he looked at her with a deep gaze. He roughly understood that the reason Ye Qilan chose Su Hongxing was probably because of her name.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the man and woman downstairs separate. He immediately dragged Su Hongxing to a dark corner.

He placed his finger on Su Hongxing’s lips and said softly, “Don’t make a sound. I’ll take you somewhere later.”

Su Hongxing listened carefully. The man’s footsteps belonged to Ye Qilan, while the woman’s footsteps belonged to Du Qingyu.

As their footsteps gradually faded away, Ye Xiandong pulled Su Hongxing downstairs and got into a red sports car.

The sports car drove out of the old residence. Ye Xiandong saw that Su Hongxing was quiet and made no noise. He could not help but look at her. “You’re a little…”

How should he describe it? He just didn’t like to make a fuss over ordinary women.

At such a time, in such a strange city, Su Hongxing was actually so calm with a strange man. He suddenly felt that this woman was very interesting.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you out?” Ye Xiandong’s lips curled into a wicked smile as he approached Su Hongxing’s face.

He thought that she would more or less look a little frightened, but unfortunately, she was calm and composed; she was completely indifferent.

Because he was close to her, he could see her pair of clear eyes. Her eyes were like black pearls.

Under such a pair of eyes, he actually couldn’t do anything bad.

Ye Xiandong coughed uncomfortably and stopped teasing Su Hongxing.

Forty minutes later, the sports car stopped in front of a garden villa.

Su Hongxing got out of the car and walked to the front of the villa. She saw two words written on the plaque: Apricot Garden.

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you in to take a look.” Ye Xiandong was the first to enter Apricot Garden.

Su Hongxing followed closely behind and soon saw a large apricot tree. It was the good season of July, and the branches and leaves were lush…
