Despite her reluctance to admit it, Xiaole had to concede that Su Hongxing was more tenacious than any other woman Ye Qilan had been with. Setting aside her jealousy of Su Hongxing, aside from being slightly overweight and unattractive, she was far superior to those women obsessed with petty jealousy.
“The medicine is here, drink it after your porridge, and then go to sleep.” For once, Xiaole didn’t provoke any further, she put down a bowl of porridge and left the room, closing the door behind her.
After drinking the porridge and taking the medicine, Su Hongxing, enduring her discomfort, soon drifted off into a deep sleep.
Xiaole thought that Su Hongxing seemed to be sleeping for a bit too long, so she went into the room to check on her.
Seeing Su Hongxing’s flushed face and her occasional sleep-talking, she realized that Su Hongxing was ill and running a fever.
“Such a large, yet frail body. The master isn’t home, who are you trying to play the damsel for?” Xiaole fed Su Hongxing the fever-reducing medicine and murmured to herself.
Even if Su Hongxing died here, Ye Qilan probably wouldn’t even notice.
At this time, Ye Qilan hadn’t returned to the villa yet, he was probably visiting Cao Shiyu at the Cao’s again.
Besides coming from a good family, Cao Shiyu was no different from Ye Qilan’s past lovers. Xiaole believed that Cao Shiyu wasn’t even comparable to Su Hongxing.
“I haven’t been unwell in a long while. Xiaole, thank you,” Su Hongxing’s voice was hoarse.
She hadn’t expected that on this stormy night, while she was sick, the person who had always harbored ill-feelings towards her, Xiaole, would be by her side.
Xiaole felt a bit uneasy, “I’m caring for you out of pity. The master is a playboy by nature, you shouldn’t expect him to stop for any woman.”
“Do you know how to break free from his control then?” Su Hongxing asked weakly.
She couldn’t think of anyone who could help her. Unless she desperately needed help, she didn’t want to turn to Zhou Peng. She had once thought they would never cross paths again in their lifetime.
“Are you saying, the master doesn’t want to let you go?” Xiaole was surprised.
Recent rumors on the Internet were intensifying, stating that the wedding date for the Ye and Cao families had been set and would likely take place in a month or two.
That such news could spread must have been with Ye Qilan’s approval. Otherwise, with Ye Qilan’s style, he would not have let such scandalous gossip spread.
“I hope I’m just being paranoid, but based on his reaction last night, he probably doesn’t want to set me free,” Su Hongxing saw Xiaole’s surprise and added, “The divorce is certain because I need to step aside for Cao Shiyu. Besides, he probably wants to keep me by his side, in a way that can’t be made public.”
It wasn’t that she was full of herself, but that it was something Ye Qilan would do.
Ye Qilan had no principles at all, he seemed to think it was quite normal to have a wife and keep mistresses on the side.
She was afraid that after divorcing her, he would flip the roles of her and Cao Shiyu – she would become Ye Qilan’s mistress.
“If that’s the case, then it’s going to be a problem. The master is always domineering, taking whatever he wants by any means necessary,” Xiaole scrutinized Su Hongxing, “1 still can’t figure out what he sees in you.”
Why did Ye Qilan have to cling to Su Hongxing when he could have any woman he wanted?
“Ye Xiandong told me that he took a fancy to me because of my name,” Su Hongxing returned a bitter smile.
If she had known that she would encounter such a maniac as Ye Qilan, she would’ve definitely changed her name..
