Capítulo 1614: Chapter 1614: Flustered (Part 2)

Beichuan gave a bitter smile.

Su Hongxing said he would meet a woman who truly moved his heart in the future, and over all these years, she was the only one who stirred his emotions.

She was the first, perhaps also the last.

Su Hongxing smiled but said nothing more. She stepped back a few paces, waved at Beichuan, and turned back toward Qingmu Garden.

Strangely enough, after so many years, Beichuan still had feelings for her. It wasn’t just Beichuan who was surprised; she also found it sudden. Everyone said Beichuan was a playboy, but no matter how fickle a man might be, he still has a heart, doesn’t he…

“Where did you go?” As soon as Su Hongxing entered the living room, she heard Ye Qilan’s voice in front of her.

She looked up at him and mumbled vaguely, “Just went for a walk outside, where else could I have gone?”

She calculated the time she had been out, less than ten minutes, so Ye Qilan couldn’t possibly know she went to see Beichuan.

“Honey, where exactly did you go, and who did you meet?” Ye Qilan’s eyes turned colder. This damned woman was playing dumb with him, there was definitely something up.

Su Hongxing was truly puzzled; could Ye Qilan have seen her leave?

“I saw you leave the house on the surveillance camera,” Ye Qilan added. He probably knew she had left the house, and knew she met someone. Because the camera couldn’t see too far, he didn’t know who she had met, which is why he was asking.

Seeing her guilty and sneaky demeanor, he was sure she had met with a man.

Su Hongxing no longer dared to hide: “Beichuan came by just now, I went to see him, we talked for a few minutes, and he left.”

“You know the grudge I have with him, yet you dared to go out at night to see him? Where do you get the nerve, woman?” Ye Qilan grabbed Su Hongxing and checked her all over: “Did he touch you?”

“No, you’re overthinking it,” Su Hongxing said, half crying, half laughing: “I just talked to him for a few minutes, there was no physical contact, you can rest assured!”

Ye Qilan sneered: “Rest assured? How could I possibly be at ease when you go see him? You know he has feelings for you, and he’s always been frivolous in romantic matters…”

“Though he’s frivolous in relationships, he’s not that bad. You don’t need to think too poorly of him. Honestly, he has helped me in the past, and I don’t want him to end up too wretched. If possible, let’s not go to extremes,” Su Hongxing admitted; it was her tender-heartedness speaking.

But the Beichuan from earlier reminded her of their second life together, of that moment when Beichuan died with her. In this life, during her hardest times, it was Beichuan who helped her.

“What kind of sweet words did he feed you to have you suddenly defending him?” Ye Qilan felt even more dissatisfied with Beichuan.

In just a few minutes, she was speaking on Beichuan’s behalf. Beichuan really knew how to charm women.

Especially his own rational-over-emotional wife, who got won over by Beichuan’s few words.

“It’s precisely because he said nothing that I feel uneasy. He helped me a few times, and it was during my most difficult times,” Su Hongxing stammered.

“Then you should also remember, it’s because of him that we were separated as a couple, leading to these three lifetimes of hardships,” Ye Qilan coldly reminded her.

Su Hongxing was at a loss for words, and after a while, she finally said: “Forget it, just treat it as if I said nothing. But I do hope we don’t go too far and leave some room to maneuver.”

“I have a sense of measure, don’t worry. Honey, I…” Ye Qilan hesitated.
