Chapter 45 - 45: Letting Go of Those Who Have Hurt Her_i
Under the dim light, the shadows of the two were infinitely stretched, and an invisible barrier caused them both to fall silent.
The hazy shadows cast an uneven halo on Su Hongxing under the light. This stirred Xiao Ji’s heart a little. He stepped forward, wanting to hold her, but didn’t dare to reach out.
Being close to her, he could smell the strong scent of alcohol on her.
“You’ve been drinking?” Xiao Ji’s face darkened slightly.
Smelling the liquor odor on her, Su Hongxing chuckled, “Yes, a bit. If 1 see your mother, she will surely scold me.”
Xiao Ji’s gaze landed on Su Hongxing’s slightly inebriated face, “1 used to call my mom ‘Mom Xiao’.”
Now it has become distant, changing to ‘aunt’.
Su Hongxing exhaled heavily, “1 should go. No matter how busy you are, remember to visit your aunt. They are getting old, don’t just bury yourself in work.”
“Xingxing, stay here tonight. Mom will be very happy to see you.” Xiao Ji reached out and held Su Hongxing’s hand.
“Not tonight, maybe another time.” Su Hongxing shook off Xiao Ji’s grasp and hailed a taxi.
Just as she was about to get into the cab, Xiao Ji pulled her back, “Xingxing, leave Ye Qilan!!”
That was the main point he wanted to convey tonight.
How could a man like Ye Qilan possibly have genuine feelings for a woman? He didn’t believe that Ye Qilan had such depth to appreciate the inner beauty of Su Hongxing.
“We will never agree on this matter. I have my resolve, you have your life. 1 won’t disturb you, 1 hope you won’t persistently bring up this matter. Honestly, it’s annoying!”
This was the first time Su Hongxing spoke harshly to Xiao Ji.
She used to be reluctant, but now she had no other choice.
As she got into the car, she looked through the rearview mirror and saw Xiao Ji’s figure receding into the distance, his expression cold.
No matter how reluctant they were, from now on he would be Zhou Luhe’s husband, and she would be Ye Qilan’s wife, they were getting further and further apart, destined to be parallel lines that will never intersect.
“Miss, are you alright?” The taxi driver asked, after driving around the streets and alleys of Taicheng for an hour and a half, seeing Su Hongxing’s odd behavior, he was slightly worried.
All of Su Hongxing’s emotions had settled down, “Driver, go to Shallow Bay Villa.”
At the moment, Shallow Bay Villa was where she could stay. Until she could be financially independent, she had nowhere else to go.
Upon arriving at her destination and entering the villa, she found not only Ye Qilan sitting on the sofa waiting for her, but also Du Qingyu was also there.
As Xiaole saw her coming back, he came forward, “Young Madam, the Master has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Su Hongxing looked at Ye Qilan, seeing his face was calm, showing no trace of emotion.
“In the future, no matter where you go, whether you are in a good or bad mood, always report back to home and keep us informed. It is not suitable to have so many people waiting for you!” Ye Qilan chided in a low voice.
“I just wandered around a bit, next time I won’t.” Su Hongxing lowered her stance.
From now on, she would not be capricious, would try to let go of Xiao Ji, and also those who once hurt her.
“You smell of alcohol, go upstairs and take a shower.” Ye Qilan took her hand and was about to go upstairs.
The silent Du Qingyu suddenly spoke up, “Qilan, 1 want to live in your master bedroom, is that okay?”
“The villa has many guest rooms; you can take your time and choose. If you don’t like any, I have other properties, you can choose to live there.”
Ye Qilan looked at Xiaole, “You take good care of Mrs. Ye, try your best to meet her needs..”
