Upon hearing that, Ye Qilan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He found Su Hongxing, this woman, truly appealed to him.

Yet, Su Hongxing found Ye Qilan’s behavior quite baffling, completely unable to figure out why he was laughing, let alone understand what he found funny.

After all, all she had spoken was the harsh truth. Humans are creatures who seek benefits while avoiding harm, so why should she rescue a woman who covets her own husband?

Du Qingyu, on the other hand, was caught staring at Ye Qilan’s joyous expression.

She had known Ye Qilan for many years and in her memory, she had never seen him laugh so freely and uninhibitedly before.

Whenever Ye Qilan laughed at her, or at other women, it felt as if he were wearing a mask. That smiling mask was harmless and gentle, but it lacked warmth.

Yet, at that very moment, she saw the smile she had been longing for on Ye Qilan’s face. How could this not sadden her?

Standing under the scorching sun, Du Qingyu’s palms still felt as cold as iron.

It wasn’t until Ye Qilan stopped next to her that she turned to look at him: “You promised me last night to stay more at home, you cannot flippantly break your words.”

“I will keep my promise. However, don’t upset my wife. If you don’t provoke her, she won’t make things difficult for you.” Ye Qilan paused, “You’re a smart woman, you should understand what I’m saying.”

Du Qingyu’s complexion slightly changed: “What exactly are you trying to say?!”

Ye Qilan put his hand on the back of Du Qingyu’s head, forcing her to look directly at him: “Du Qingyu, pretending doesn’t suit you!”

“I…I don’t understand what you’re saying!” Du Qingyu forcefully shook off Ye Qilan’s hand, her expression flustered and embarrassed, she turned to return to the main house.

Ye Qilan’s voice rang behind her: “There’s no such thing as a wall that doesn’t leak. You thought you were very secretive, but the news still got out. Don’t tell me that Yan Zi didn’t come because of you. Did you want to kill with a borrowed knife? Did 1 also teach you this move?!”

Du Qingyu clenched her fists, her lips turning pale.

Indeed, she couldn’t hide anything from Ye Qilan’s sharp eyes.

She was indeed envious of Su Hongxing, envious that this good-for-nothing woman managed to make Ye Qilan willing to marry her into the Ye Family.

Back then, how she wished to marry Ye Qilan, yet he quickly moved on to a new love interest.

Upon seeing Su Hongxing, she, restricted by her own position, couldn’t outwardly be jealous. But there were plenty of women who admired Ye Qilan, just finding one was enough to make Su Hongxing uncomfortable.

She had calculated every possibility, but she failed to foresee that Su Hongxing wasn’t that easy to deal with.

Even a fierce woman like Yan Zi who openly provoked Su Hongxing had to return in defeat.

“Qilan, you’re so smart, then do you know why I married your father?” Du Qingyu returned to Ye Qilan, her delicate finger seductively sliding over his Adam’s apple, extending into his neatly buttoned shirt collar.

Ye Qilan’s expression remained unchanged.

All these years, it had always been like this. No matter how she provoked him, even if she stripped herself completely, performing a provocative dance before him, she was still unable to stir any attraction in him.

She hadn’t even kissed him, which was what she couldn’t accept the most.

“Why you married Ye Yanhong, that’s your business, I’m not interested. Ye Yanhong has always been fickle, and some women he keeps outside are even younger than you. So, don’t think that your position as Madam Ye is so secure…”

“What about Su Hongxing? How secure is her position as the fourth young madam of the household?!” Du Qingyu laughed enchantingly, her breath softly lavender against Ye Qilan’s thin lips..
