My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again - Chapter 269
Chapter 269: Chapter 269 – The First Reincarnation Side Story: Beware of the Fox Spirit_1
Su Hongxing paced back and forth in the room, unsure whether to call Ye Qilan and get a clear understanding of the situation.
On the one hand, she believed that Ye Qilan was not the kind of man who would cheat on his wife; on the other hand, Cao Shiyu’s words had made her worry.
After much hesitation, she decided to call the Ye family first and ask someone if Cao Shiyu worked at Ye Qilan’s company, which would help her determine the truth of Shiyu’s words.
When she made the call and asked if Cao Shiyu was an employee of Ye’s company, she was informed that Cao Shiyu was a secretary, and they asked if she needed anything else.
Upon hearing those words, she felt a chill in her heart, and she hung up the phone in a daze.
She told herself not to panic. Even if Cao Shiyu worked at Ye Qilan’s company, it didn’t necessarily imply anything.
But she still couldn’t stop her chaotic thoughts.
Ye Qilan had been acting suspiciously recently, always cold towards her, and except for lashing out at her last night, he hadn’t touched her for a long time.
Su Hongxing decided to wait for Ye Qilan to come home and have a candid conversation. But when he still hadn’t returned home by eight o’clock, her heart grew cold.
Ye Qilan had said he would return home early to make amends, but his actions were inconsistent with his words. This man had no integrity.
Why should she keep this empty house for Ye Qilan’s broken promise?
Ye Qilan asked her to be a full-time housewife, and she agreed.
He urged her not to wander outside, and she obediently stayed home, even seldom going out with friends on weekends. In fact, she didn’t have many friends, the only person she could connect with was Qiao Qiao. She had little contact with her former classmates.
Just when she was feeling discouraged, she received a call from Xiaobei.
Xiaobei was her college classmate and they had been in frequent contact recently.
“Hongxing, I’m at The Red House, do you want to come over? There are a few classmates here, and they all want to see you,” Xiaobei’s energetic voice came through the speaker.
If it had been any other night, Su Hongxing would definitely have obeyed Ye Qilan’s words, stayed home, and gone nowhere.
Ye Qilan said that the night was the source of sin, and as a virtuous woman, she should not expose herself out at night.
But tonight, she felt rebellious. Whatever Ye Qilan didn’t want her to do, she was determined to do.
When Su Hongxing arrived at The Red House, she indeed saw several of her close college classmates, except Qiao Qiao was not there.
“You’re late. You have to drink a penalty cup.” Xiaobei poured Su Hongxing a glass of wine.
Su Hongxing drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.
The classmates chatted about men and their work, while Su Hongxing focused on drinking silently.
She felt she had nothing in common to discuss with her classmates. These years after her marriage, she had been completely out of touch with society.
Seeing Su Hongxing like this, Xiaobei pulled her aside: “Are you upset about something relating to your husband?”
At these words, Su Hongxing’s heart skipped a beat.
Xiaobei hesitated and said, “Actually, calling you out today… there’s something I didn’t know whether to tell you.”
“What is it?” Su Hongxing asked in a low voice.
“I think you need to be careful with your husband. More than once, I’ve seen him with a woman, I heard her surname is Cao, and it was at night. They looked too intimate – anyone who didn’t know better might think they were together…”
Under Su Hongxing’s gaze, Xiaobei hastily added, “Maybe I’m overthinking it. Your husband seems so fond of you, how could he possibly keep a mistress?”
She glanced again at Su Hongxing. Su Hongxing was dressed so plainly, she didn’t even bother to groom herself before going out.
