Chapter 1394: Chapter 1394: The Handsome Man Scheme (2)

Xiao Ji directly ignored Ye Qilan, and said to Su Hongxing in a calm voice, “Amou, sit down and chat with me for a while.”

Su Hongxing followed his suggestion and sat down. The next moment, Ye Qilan squeezed in beside her and sat down as well.

“Ding Ye, can you leave? Amou and I want to talk privately.” Xiao Ji shot a cold glare at Ye Qilan, as if he’d never seen someone so shameless.

“Wife, do you think I should leave?” Ye Qilan looked at Su Hongxing, his eyes carrying a hint of warning.

Su Hongxing dared not speak up to drive Ye Qilan away. Seeing the air between them tense and full of hostility straight away, she decided to stand up and said, “How about this—why don’t you two have a proper chat here? I’ll leave.”

She wasn’t going to join in the commotion!

“Amou, don’t go!” Xiao Ji hurriedly called out to Su Hongxing.

Su Hongxing walked to the door, turned around, and smiled, “You should eat first. Health comes first.” With those words, she quickly disappeared.

Once Su Hongxing left, the room was left with Ye Qilan and Xiao Ji. The two of them stared coldly at each other, murderous intent flashing in their eyes.

Ye Qilan stood up, towering over Xiao Ji and looking down at him. “Listen up, Xiao Ji. This is Qingmu Garden, not a place where you can run wild. Let me make it very clear: Su Hongxing is my wife. No matter who you are, don’t think you can take her away from me.”

What could Xiao Ji possibly use to challenge him? No money, no power—how could he fight?

“She was supposed to be my woman. If it weren’t for the accident, it wouldn’t have been your chance to swoop in while I was down.” Xiao Ji retorted coldly, his demeanor equally unyielding.

Their gazes clashed fiercely in the air, neither one willing to back down.

Ye Qilan stared at Xiao Ji for a long moment, then suddenly chuckled. “She’s the woman registered in my household book. Would you like me to show you our marriage certificate?”

“There’s no need to keep repeating the fact that she’s legally bound to you. Even if you two are married, divorce is always possible. Let’s see how long you can hold onto your smugness. Now that I’ve returned, I’ll take back everything I’ve lost, including Amou!” Xiao Ji declared and then stopped looking at Ye Qilan.

Ye Qilan responded with a faint, dismissive laugh. “I’d like to see how you end up destroyed in the end…”

Su Hongxing was hiding outside the door, eavesdropping on their conversation. Fortunately, the two men were only sparring with words and hadn’t started fighting physically. Otherwise, Xiao Ji would definitely not be Ye Qilan’s match.

Seeing that Ye Qilan was about to come out, she quickly rushed back to the living room and sat down beside Qiao Qiao.

“You were okay with leaving those two alone? Aren’t you worried they might start fighting?!” Qiao Qiao whispered.

“In the future, there will be plenty of chances for them to be alone… Ye Qilan’s coming over.” Su Hongxing replied, then started chatting with Qiao Qiao about other random things, pretending to look happy.

Ye Qilan walked into the living room and took a brief glance at Su Hongxing, whose smile was obviously forced.

Su Hongxing felt somewhat guilty under Ye Qilan’s cold gaze.

She voluntarily got up and offered her seat: “Do you want to watch TV?”

Ye Qilan said nothing. He walked past her, picked up Little Baozi, and headed upstairs.

Su Hongxing and Qiao Qiao exchanged glances and both laughed.

“I’ve realized that their personalities are actually quite similar—deep down, they’re both secretly vain. The most obvious part of it is that they both love you.” Qiao Qiao remarked, clearly referring to both Ye Qilans.

This Ye Qilan might seem cold, but as long as Su Hongxing curled her finger to beckon, he’d be easily reeled in—totally manageable.

Su Hongxing agreed with Qiao Qiao’s assessment.

Ye Qilan was a tiger in public but a paper tiger at home.

Despite loving her to his very core, he still insisted on pretending to be aloof.
