Chapter 1388: Chapter 1388: Three People Living Together (2)

Ye Shiqing looked at Qiao Qiao with a complex expression. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “Xiaoqiao, if the third brother never comes back, are you planning to wait for him forever?”

No one knows where Ye Xiandong is, or if something bad has happened to him.

But Qiao Qiao and Ye Xiandong’s relationship has long been devoid of any affection. Would she really sacrifice her future happiness for someone like Ye Xiandong?

“Second Brother, the matter between Ye Xiandong and me is none of your concern. Honestly, we’re not that close, so in the future, it’s best if you don’t seek me out anymore.” Qiao Qiao replied hesitantly, skillfully dodging Ye Shiqing’s question.

Ye Shiqing’s gaze turned colder. “Have you ever thought that maybe the third brother is deliberately playing missing? He knows you want to divorce him, so he’s intentionally staying away to keep dragging things out. Don’t dismiss the idea. The third brother has always been that selfish!”

Qiao Qiao froze, instinctively refuting Ye Shiqing: “Impossible!”

Ye Xiandong had no feelings for her, and their marriage was nothing more than a sham. Even if Ye Xiandong had once felt that her proposal for divorce hurt his male ego, the incidents he’d been through later should have been enough for him to let it go.

Given that, Ye Xiandong had no grounds to keep her tied down, nor any motive to act this way.

“Xiaoqiao, you’re still too naive and don’t understand the ugliness of human nature.” Ye Shiqing gave Qiao Qiao a deep look. “He knows your personality too well. He knows you’re a traditional woman. It’s precisely because of that that he’s made this move. I’ve already sent people to search for his whereabouts. Once we find him, we’ll see if my theory holds true.”

After seeing Ye Shiqing off, Qiao Qiao remained lost in thought.

Could it really be as Ye Shiqing said? Was Ye Xiandong intentionally playing missing? Did he disappear just to stall her?

She was still distracted when Ye Qilan drove past her, pulling her out of her thoughts.

She walked over to Su Hongxing and smiled. “Looks like Ye Qilan is giving you a hard time this time.”

Usually, at this hour, Ye Qilan would drive Su Hongxing to work. But today, he simply drove off on his own, leaving Su Hongxing behind.

“He’s been in a bad mood lately. Let him blow off some steam. Hopefully, he’ll figure things out in a few days.” Su Hongxing smiled. “Honestly, I think it’s not a bad thing. A few days ago, he wasn’t even going to work, just staying by my side. How is that the behavior of someone aiming for greatness?”

Only when it comes to her does Ye Qilan cease to be the composed and ambitious Fourth Young Master Ye. He’s someone destined for great accomplishments, yet he’s constantly held back by her.

“That just proves your charm. With you in his life, he doesn’t even care about building his empire. If this were ancient times, Ye Qilan would probably be one of those emperors who’d choose the beauty over the kingdom, right?” Qiao Qiao replied with a laugh.

Su Hongxing chuckled. “If he were an emperor in ancient times, he’d definitely be a tyrant. Good thing he lives in modern times, with laws to keep him in check.”

“But you can’t deny that he’s extraordinary. Even if he were a tyrant, with a harem of three thousand, you’d still be the only one he’d favor!”

Qiao Qiao’s words left Su Hongxing both amused and exasperated. “The way you’re talking, it’s like you’d love to live in ancient times, being one of an emperor’s three thousand concubines, just waiting for him to favor you.”

“Nonsense. We’re clearly talking about you.” Qiao Qiao pulled Su Hongxing into the car. “Seriously, without Ye Qilan hovering over you, I’d feel a bit off.”

Normally, whenever she got too close to Su Hongxing, Ye Qilan would shoot her intimidating looks, so much so that she didn’t even dare to link arms with Su Hongxing these days.
