Chapter 147: Decaying and Rotten 1
Su Hongxing was knocked to the ground by Ye Qilan, the two of them wrestling fiercely.
In the past, Su Hongxing could tolerate Ye Qilan’s touch, but now she was repulsed simply by the sight of his face, how could she possibly submit easily?
Ye Qilan intended to subdue Su Hongxing then and there, but Su Hongxing fiercely resisted under his control. She seized an opportunity, and violently slapped him. This time, her aim was accurate and she hit Ye Qilan right in the face.
For the first time in his life, Ye Qilan was slapped in the face by a woman.
“You dare to slap my face?!” Ye Qilan glared mercilessly, his hand closing on Su Hongxing’s neck.
His grip tightened, and Su Hongxing felt she was suffocating. Her face turned blue, her lips whitened, and her vision blackened. She thought this was the end of her life at Ye Qilan’s hands.
Just when she thought she had reached her limit, Ye Qilan loosened his grip.
Su Hongxing distanced herself from Ye Qilan, coughing violently, feeling as if her organs were about to burst out. Finally catching her breath, Ye Qilan launched himself at her again.
She didn’t resist this time, and coldly watched Ye Qilan, speaking in a raspy voice, “Ye Qilan, you beast, you’ll never know what love is!”
It’s laughable that there was a moment when she had pitied him. How ridiculous it was, how could she ever feel such compassion?
All her emotions should be saved for herself, including sympathy. Why should she waste them on such a monster?
Now, she finally understands this. Thankfully, it’s not too late.
“You cannot call me a monster!” Ye Qilan’s heart twitched in pain again.
Everyone else could, but Su Hongxing alone couldn’t look down on him like this.
He couldn’t explain why, but it just felt wrong.
“But aren’t you a monster? You do not know respect, you do not treasure love. You grew up amid wealth and power, and there you will die, decayed and rotten.” Su Hongxing’s icy gaze was fixed upon Ye Qilan’s face, her eyes filled with undisguised scorn and mockery.
Her verbal barbs would undoubtedly bring retribution. Yet, she had no regrets about speaking from her heart.
Ye Qilan towered over Su Hongxing, looking down on her as if she were an insignificant ant. He said coolly, “Before 1 die, I will surely drag you to hell with me. Consider today a small punishment. If you anger me again, 1 will not be so gentle.”
She brought this upon herself. Who can she blame?
Su Hongxing lifted her eyelids to glance at him, then turned her body to face away from Ye Qilan.
Afterward, the door closed as Ye Qilan left. The door opened again as Xiaole entered.
Xiaole paused when she saw the chaos in the room. When she saw Su Hongxing lying motionless on the floor, covered with terrifying marks, she knew what had transpired.
“Madam, are you alright?” Xiaole asked in a low voice.
She had thought Su Hongxing would remain in favor longer than this. Clearly, she had overestimated Su Hongxing.
If things continued like this, Su Hongxing would be banished sooner rather than later.
“I’m fine. Go prepare a hot bath for me. Also, go to the pharmacy and get me some wound medication.” Su Hongxing mustered up the energy to respond.
Xiaole was a smart girl. Hearing this, she felt a pang in her heart, feeling sympathy for this woman who had fallen into such a plight..
