Ye Qilan suddenly said, âItâs still early. You rarely have time to spend with Little Pudding. Itâs not too late to talk to her more before you leave.â
Su Hongxing had no way to refuse, so she sat back in her original seat.
Just like that, over an hour passed, and she still couldnât get away until Xiao Ji called to urge her.
âWell, I have to go. You take good care of the child at home,â Su Hongxing said with a smile.
This feeling was like cheating in front of her husband, extremely awkward!
âMen waiting for women is only natural. Thereâs no need to rush. How about you leave after having lunch?â Ye Qilanâs words left Su Hongxing helplessly amused.
Itâs ten oâclock now. If she ate lunch at home, would he then tell her to leave after dinner?
âIâm leaving now.â This time Su Hongxing ran out without looking back after speaking.
Ye Qilan sat in place, clenching his fists tightly, suppressing the jealousy in his heart to avoid running out.
Knowing that his wife was going to meet another man, he could actually bear it? For the first time, he felt his tolerance was astonishingly great!
Qiao Qiao woke up late. When she came downstairs, she didnât see Su Hongxing nor Ye Qilanâs gloomy face, and asked, âYe Qilan, where did Su go?â
Ye Qilan looked at Qiao Qiao upon hearing the words, his gaze somewhat sharp.
Qiao Qiao was startled and stepped back two paces, âI-I was just casually asking.â
Ye Qilan coldly snorted, âOnly now do I realize some people are really annoying!â
Su Hongxing cares more about Qiao Qiao than him. Doesnât this mean raising an extra rival at home?
Qiao Qiao dared not stay too long with Ye Qilan. She went over to Grandma Jiang and asked, âGrandma, where did Su go?â
âShe went out for some matters. She didnât say where, but since Qilan agreed with her going out, it should be fine,â Grandma Jiang replied.
Qiao Qiao felt Grandma Jiangâs words made sense. How possessive is Ye Qilan? Allowing Su Hongxing to go out alone proves thereâs no problem.
Su Hongxing intentionally lingered on the road for a while before arriving at Xiao Jiâs apartment.
Xiao Ji was studying a recipe when he saw her arrive and smiled, âXingxing, cook lunch today.â
Su Hongxing didnât speak, just went to the kitchen to help.
Xiao Ji tried to start a conversation beside her, and she responded intermittently.
After half an hour, she made the meal, and Xiao Ji washed the dishes, commenting, âI feel like itâs been a lifetime since we quietly had a meal together like this.â
The last time he had a meal alone with Su Hongxing was many years ago.
Su Hongxing barely smiled, not much interested in chatting.
Xiao Ji, however, didnât mind and kept talking about their childhood.
Su Hongxing occasionally responded with a few words, neither warmly nor coldly. Since she agreed to meet Xiao Ji, even if reluctantly, there was no need to intentionally face him with a cold attitude.
But if she were to truly show Xiao Ji a sincere smile, she indeed could not do it.
Xiao Ji actually realized this. Although he wanted to see Su Hongxing truly smile at him, he was already very satisfied to eat with her and chat.
After lunch, Xiao Ji said to Su Hongxing, âYou have the habit of napping. Rest for a while. After your nap, accompany me for a walk, okay?â
Su Hongxing thought a nap was nice, at least she wouldnât have to face Xiao Ji, so she nodded in agreement.
When she entered the guest bedroom and saw the furnishings inside, she was slightly stunned. The decor here was very similar to the bedroom she used to live in at the Xiao Family.
