BXBX NOVEL Chapter 390: 390: She is Gone_1
The speaker means nothing, but the listener reads between the lines.
Ye Qilan felt Su Hongxing’s words were insinuating his unfaithfulness. Su Hongxing was merely expressing her inner worries. She caressed her belly, softly murmuring, “But this world is so filthy, it might be better not to come into it…”
Ye Qilan didn’t hear her clearly, and asked, “What did you just say?”
As if awakening from a dream, Su Hongxing shook her head and replied, “Nothing. Just thinking that today’s weather is so good, wondering if tomorrow will also be as bright. You’re getting engaged tomorrow, and as I’m pregnant, I won’t be there to congratulate you. How about this? You keep your phone on, and I’ll call you to give my blessing at your engagement.”
Ye Qilan lowered his gaze, saying nothing.
Unperturbed, Su Hongxing continued, “If the child is born, I’d rather have you and Mo Qiu raise it. I’m afraid I can’t handle it myself. I still have my own life ahead. I can’t allow a child to hold me back. I’m not even 25 yet, still young… I can still get married in the future…”
“Can you just shut up?!” Suppressing his irritation for some time, Ye Qilan finally snapped.
Seeing him angry, Su Hongxing laughed, “You’re the groom-to-be tomorrow, watch your temper. Only Mo Qiu can tolerate your bad temper.”
With that, her eyes brightened, she waved towards the entrance, “Miss Mo, what a coincidence, are you here for a coffee too?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qilan turned and saw Mo Qiu walking into the cafe with a young and beautiful woman.
With a smile on her face, Mo Qiu walked over and naturally sat down next to Ye Qilan, “What a coincidence to meet you here.”
“Indeed, the world is big yet small, sometimes we bump into each other on the street.” Having said that, Su Hongxing stood up, “I’m going to the washroom. You two chat. I’ll be back soon.”
Seeing her leave, Ye Qilan wanted to follow, but Su Hongxing stopped him, “I’m just going to the washroom, I’ll be fine. If I’m not back in five minutes, come find me.”
In the past, Ye Qilan might have worried she’d run away. Now though, he probably couldn’t wait for her to leave, the further the better.
As soon as Su Hongxing left, Ye Qilan kept checking his watch.
Seeing this, Mo Qiu quietly reassured him with a smile, “Qilan, she’s just in the washroom, don’t worry.”
“It’s been two minutes, I’m going to check on her,” Ye Qilan said and quickly walked away.
Mo Qiu’s friend scoffed upon seeing this, “How could Fourth Young Master be so smitten with a woman like that? Are you sure you want to marry Fourth Young Master? It seems that he’s quite concerned about that fat woman. If he’s already like this in front of you, can you bear it after the wedding?”
Mo Qiu’s face remained calm, and she replied softly, “The relationship between Qilan and Miss Su isn’t what you think. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Miss Su is a pitiful person as well.”
The woman fell silent, believing Mo Qiu was too deeply in love to turn back…
Meanwhile, Ye Qilan went to the washroom and found no sign of Su Hongxing.
A sinking feeling in his heart, he searched around again, but still no sign of Su Hongxing, and he became anxious.
Did that woman take the opportunity to run away when she went to the washroom?
After some searching, he found a back door in the cafe. If Su Hongxing left, she must’ve gone this way.
