My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Su Hongxing understood deeply that even if she spoke up, it wouldn’t help, it would only add one more person worrying.
“Why do you have this expression? Did Xiao Ji say something to you?” Xiao Ji’s mother asked worriedly.
She, as a mother, could certainly feel how much Xiao Ji liked this girl. She thought that after so many years, Xiao Ji would have almost let go, but she discovered that this wasn’t the case.
“Aunt Xiao, he didn’t bully me. I’m just thinking about the two children, so I got a bit distracted,” Su Hongxing ultimately didn’t dare speak the truth.
Xiao Ji’s mother visibly sighed in relief, and Su Hongxing observed it.
Some things, you can conceal for one day at a time. If possible, she hoped Aunt Xiao would never know that Xiao Ji and she had severed their ties. In Aunt Xiao’s heart, she was a daughter, and Xiao Ji was as dear as her own flesh and blood.
During the meal, Su Hongxing found the food tasteless, feeling like the house was a giant beast, ready to open its bloody maw and swallow her whole, suffocating her…
Ye Qilan couldn’t get through to Su Hongxing on the phone and couldn’t concentrate on work, so he hurried back to Qingmu Garden.
When Qiao Qiao told him that Su Hongxing went out shopping, he turned grim.
Su Hongxing was not someone careless, nor could she abandon her daughter and go shopping alone.
He waited until two in the afternoon before seeing Su Hongxing return home.
Qiao Qiao made several eye gestures when she saw Su Hongxing come back…
Su Hongxing forced some spirit, looking at Ye Qilan sitting on the sofa. His face was dark; he must have guessed who she went to see, right?
“Where did you go?” Ye Qilan asked coldly.
Su Hongxing replied hesitantly: “I just went for a walk.”
“Where did you go for a walk?” Ye Qilan asked again.
Su Hongxing yawned: “Just wandered around, ended up wherever. I’m a bit sleepy, I’ll take a nap first.”
She finished speaking and wanted to go upstairs.
“Su Hongxing, stop right there. Tell me first where you went and whom you met!” Ye Qilan’s shout scared Little Pudding who was playing nearby.
Little Pudding dropped his toy and hurriedly ran to Su Hongxing, hugging her leg tightly.
Su Hongxing picked up Little Pudding and looked at Ye Qilan: “You’re so loud, don’t you know you might scare the child?”
Ye Qilan took a deep breath, aware of his loss of composure. He watched helplessly as Su Hongxing went upstairs, feeling as though his heart was gripped by an invisible hand, suppressing his dark and heavy mood.
After going upstairs, Su Hongxing didn’t sleep. With worries on her mind, she couldn’t close her eyes at all.
Until four in the afternoon, she secretly went downstairs, and swam two laps in the pool. As soon as she climbed onto the shore, she saw Ye Qilan standing by the pool, watching her quietly, his eyes dark as ink.
She knew some things had to be faced sooner or later, just as she had to confess to Ye Qilan about Xiao Ji’s call.
“Xiao Ji called and asked me to go to the Xiao Family. I went to meet him and chatted for a while,” Su Hongxing said in a hoarse voice.
“What did he say?” Ye Qilan picked up the towel, wrapped Su Hongxing’s body, and helped dry her hair.
Seeing Ye Qilan so gentle, Su Hongxing felt heartache.
Xiao Ji meant for her to choose between Ye Qilan and Qiao Qiao, and her balance was clearly tilting toward Qiao Qiao. Even if it were just for three months, even if Xiao Ji said he wouldn’t act excessively towards her, would this be fair to Ye Qilan?
