My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again-Chapter 240 - : Disgusting to Look at! _1

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Disgusting to Look at! _1

“Sir, we’re under a time crunch. Perhaps you could go to the airport first, and Xiaole could bring Miss Su to meet you later?” Bai Chen proposed, on tenterhooks.

No matter what, one should never postpone important tasks because of a woman, especially not in such a critical moment.

However, Ye Qilan seemed oblivious to Bai Chen’s words. He yelled downstairs, “Xiaole, get somebody here to open the door. Hurry up!”

Bai Chen was at a loss. Ye Qilan’s reaction made him realize that it was pointless to persuade him.

Xiaole was efficient. He brought a few men in less than ten minutes. The group struggled for a short while before finally barging the door open.

Ye Qilan dashed to the bedside, ready to lose his temper. But as he caught sight of Su Hongxing’s emotionless eyes, all his rage dissipated instantly in the face of her tranquillity.

“Let’s go, we’re running out of time,” Ye Qilan said in the gentlest tone possible.

But Su Hongxing remained still as a stone, not showing any intent to move.

Ye Qilan didn’t want to lose his temper at Su Hongxing, nor did he want to leave her alone at home. He couldn’t predict what she would do – perhaps the moment he left, she would run away.

Additionally, given her cunning nature and intelligence, he needed to be even more cautious with her.

Only by keeping her close could he feel reassured.

Ye Qilan walked over, picked Su Hongxing up, and said in a hushed tone, “I know you want to run away, but you should know, no matter where you run to, I can always find you. So, why bother making futile efforts?”

Su Hongxing, not in the mood to listen to Ye Qilan’s rambling, muttered tersely, “What if I don’t run, can I avoid traveling with you, then?”

“I trust no one but myself,” Ye Qilan replied, his eyes turned towards Su Hongxing’s belly, “Until I am certain you’re carrying my child, I need to keep my guard up against you.”

Su Hongxing had nothing to say. She turned and buried her face in his chest.

Ye Qilan bent his head and kissed her hair, “Just stay with me peacefully and stop thinking about leaving.”

Su Hongxing closed her eyes, refusing to listen to him or look at his face.

Downstairs, Ye Ling and Cao Shiyu’s faces turned sour upon witnessing Ye Qilan carry Su Hongxing down the stairs.

Why him? Why was Ye Qilan, someone so wonderful, showing affection for Su Hongxing? It was absolutely unbearable!

“Fourth Brother, why are you carrying this ugly woman? She’s so heavy, can you even lift her…?”

With just one stern look from Ye Qilan, Ye Ling immediately shut up, not daring to utter another word.

Cao Shiyu mustered her courage to step forward and said, “Hongxing, please take good care of Fourth Brother during these next few days—”

Su Hongxing suddenly opened her eyes and looked straight at Cao Shiyu.

Cao Shiyu felt a pang of guilt upon seeing the sharp edges in Su Hongxing’s eyes.

“Can you stop being so hypocritical?” The mere sight of Cao Shiyu’s face filled Su Hongxing with indescribable hatred.

In her past life, Cao Shiyu had also meddled in her affairs. No matter when or where, the women from the Cao family were always hovering around her life like sinister spirits, creating chaos.

“I, I just…” Cao Shiyu’s beautiful eyes glossed over with tears. She looked at Ye Qilan pitifully.

Su Hongxing saw this and sneered, “Your Fourth Brother doesn’t like women who cry easily. Stop playing the victim with your trumped-up tale of woe; it makes me sick.”

Cao Shiyu’s schemes and acting abilities were improving every day. Now she was putting on quite a show. Su Hongxing had to admit that Cao Shiyu was becoming more and more like a whingeing damsel.

“No need to get upset over an insignificant person.” Ye Qilan kissed Su Hongxing on the face, picked her up, and walked out the door.
